TWW gang December 2022

[Iwouldlikeababyplease]

Hi all! Quite a newbie signing up but a lurker no doubt. TTC baby #1 cycle 5. I only realised after being a lurker that regular lube has possibly been the reason why cycle 1-4 hasn’t worked. Now using preseed when needing an extra bit of slip and slide!

Currently 3dpo, due on 14th December and been having high thigh and side of pubic region stabbing pains today. I know too soon to be having any symptoms but desperately want this to be my month! Anyone else in the TWW and having symptoms?

Hi all hoping for some support I'm trying to hold it together after feeling a bit deflated today. Some background- We have been TTC for 3 years next month so I guess I have a lot of frustration and build up here - and so much has lead to where we are now This is first round of letrozole. 3rd round of fertility treatment with a break in between to loose weight and de-stress. I'm the fittest and healthiest I've been in years and it's taken a lot from me to get to this stage.

I'm 9dpo, I said if I had any spotting I'd count myself as out as I often spot in my cycles. Maybe I'm being too hard on myself thinking/saying that. But I spotted 7dpo it was very light with just one wipe and looked like it was with creamy discharge (normally I'd say my spotting was darker and maybe with a clot so didn't feel the same) this then followed the next day 1 wipe of barely a light brown if anything. Today a bit more in 2 wipes of light pink and more watery. I guess I won't know until my period comes and I'm feeling sorry for myself because of that.

Secondly I've had cramps both left and right side of ovaries for a few days on and off, and what seems to be called lightening crotch on and off also which is all not normal for me after ovulation -(lightening crotch I've experienced maybe twice in my life and this week I've had every day since 5dpo), yesterday and today it woke me up as it was quite strong.

FYI I took the letrozole days 3-7 of my cycle and not taking any other hormones that could potentially cause this I also can't see anywhere that letrozole would cause this so its playing with my head that it could be a hopeful sign.

I did a babyplan early test (an early cheapy from amazon) today with first AM wee but at 9dpo not sure what I expected but it was negative.

I don't know what I'm hoping you will also say but not sure if I should discount myself and move on get over it and be hopeful for next cycle or just hold out hope for this cycle? It's upset me a bit today and I've got a bit teary. I really wanted to be able to give me DH this for xmas and go into the NY with a plan and excitement, and feel like I've/my body has just failed again.

Sorry all for the essay and having an emotional moan!

Well, I threw the test but I did another but also did 1 with water and there was a line with each so I'm thinking I've got a dodgy batch of tests.
Af is due tomorrow anyway and I wasn't expecting to have conceived this cycle but after 18 cycles I'm just losing hope now :(

@2021lady I see a line 😍 maybe try again tomorrow morning? X

Unfortunately not..period started today:(

@Journey2022
How are you getting on today?

Hi everyone I'm ttc #2. This is our first month so I'm realistic that it may take a while.

Iv tried to track my ovulation. Do you think iv got a peak? What day do you think?
Iv used 2 different types of test as the strips were old from my last pregnancy and I wasn't sure if they still worked 🙈

*this was Dec! I'm not sure why I put 15/11 etc 🤣🙈

@helloimnew123 hi this looks like nearly a peak but honestly I never got on with the cheapy ones clear blue 4 or more fertile days honestly changed my ovulation testing! We now BD as soon as we get a flashing smiley on them all the way up to day after full smiley which usually gives me 5 to 6 days! I really recommend investing in it (not cheap but worth it!)

I've literally had a few drops of red blood about 40 mins ago, still getting cramps and twinges too. So my period is on its way and clearly early. I usually have a 32 day cycle and today is cd27. It honestly threw me this month having cramps days after ovulation and I was so hopeful I had a bit of a meltdown yesterday. I guess I just need to try again now. I have 2 cycles of letrozole left then il have to start private IVF which just really upsets me.

@Journey2022

Yeah I don't know if I actually ovulated! 🤷🏻‍♀️ I guess il just have to wait and see.

I normally have very long cycles (35 days) but last month I was 26 days 🤷🏻‍♀️

Are your cycles irregular? Our bodies are soo annoying! I hate the unknown. Where you expecting your period early based on ovulation?
What is letrozole?

No BFP yet, tested everyday since 11dpo. But AF should have come today and hasn't-do I dare to still hope? 😬
