Hi,

Currently trying for DC 2, already have a 2 year old DS.

I should have ovulated today 🤞🏻🤞🏻

Anyone else entering the TWW? Due AF 7th Jan but will probably end up testing a couple days before 😄

@DancingNancies 😂 I love that!!!!

@Mrsrobinsonx I wouldn’t go off the cheapies. My ICs haven’t really progressed at all other than nothing on Sunday to a line on Monday night. But after that they really are still basically the same.
I’ve seen progression on both frer and clear blue so that’s what I’m going off. I’ve ran out of clear blue now other than digital but frer will be re-stocked and I’ll probably keep peeing on those every day 🙈

MrsL22 · 08/02/2023 21:22

@Downtherabbithole83 honestly I’m eating everything in sight 🫣

I really want to stop testing tbh because I do think that’s also stressing me out! As for symptoms… my nipples are definitely still changing and I seem to get a bit of nausea on and off which I’ve noticed is kept at bay when I eat little and often. 🤞🏼 this doesn’t progress to full blown sickness 😂🙈

DH has been the same as yours but he’s coming round to the idea of being able to get this early scan and then using that to tell his family 🤷🏻‍♀️

Downtherabbithole83 · 08/02/2023 21:22

@Mrsrobinsonx it’s great that you still have a line and ‘hardly darker’ is still darker. I have everything crossed for you.

@DancingNancies your crossed our comment made me chuckle! I feel your pain on that one… though mine are now 6 and 4 - I’m afraid they still cause just as much stress!

Mrsrobinsonx · 08/02/2023 21:27

@Downtherabbithole83 This is another thing I’m worried about not having any symptoms! I had sharp pains/twinges and cramps Friday/Saturday but nothing since! Apart from backache the past 2 days. strange that we want to feel sick for reassurance 🙈

@MrsL22 its just such a weird limbo to be in, not sure if I’m pregnant or not. With my others as soon as I saw pregnant or a line I didn’t even question it, it’s so different after a loss x

Pitstop1986 · 08/02/2023 21:29

AF still isn't here for me...

I guess that it gives me an extra chance to poas tomorrow morning!

Downtherabbithole83 · 08/02/2023 21:29

@MrsL22 I’m eating everything in sight too but to be honest, that’s just normal for me!

I figure I’m now past my AF due date and got a positive on a normal test so I figure that’s a good reason to stop testing!

During my pregnancy in September, my boobs went up two cup sizes by 8 or 9 weeks and I was throwing up nearly every day from about 7 weeks so I guess I just wait and see… though seeing how horribly that pregnancy ended, it’s probably good that I don’t have exactly the same symptoms this time!

Downtherabbithole83 · 08/02/2023 21:31

@Mrsrobinsonx what brands have you peed on?

@Pitstop1986 yay for another chance to poas. I hope you get answers one way or another soon - the limbo at the end of the month is the worst xx

Mrsrobinsonx · 08/02/2023 21:43

@Downtherabbithole83 just some off Amazon I got months ago cheap ones, and frer. Did try the strips but they are showing basically nothing so gave up with them. Got some clearblue ones today but haven’t used any yet. X

Downtherabbithole83 · 08/02/2023 21:48

@Mrsrobinsonx which clearblue ones did you get? Clearblue were the tests that made me feel better after weak lines on the cheapies.

Mrsrobinsonx · 08/02/2023 21:51

@Downtherabbithole83 umm the early detection ones with the one line instead of cross.
I might take one tomorrow if no sign of bleeding but 15dpo is where it all ended last time and my chest genuinely feels tight about tomorrow already.
I probably sound ridiculous 🤷‍♀️

Downtherabbithole83 · 08/02/2023 21:53

@Mrsrobinsonx if it’s useful to know, when I first took those I barely had a line at all - so if you decide to take one and can see it clearly then I think that’s a good sign 🤞

Downtherabbithole83 · 08/02/2023 21:53

And of course you don’t sound ridiculous!

MrsL22 · 08/02/2023 22:12

@Mrsrobinsonx you absolutely do not sound ridiculous. I had that today so I’ve been on edge. But I know I am pregnant because my tests tell me so!

DancingNancies · 09/02/2023 03:31

@Mrsrobinsonx you definitely don't sound ridiculous, the limbo is the worst bit and waiting for a result is torturous - hoping you get an answer soon!

@Pitstop1986 hoping this morning's poas brings some good news your way!

@Downtherabbithole83 my ds5 is an absolute angel in comparison to my ds2, but even he has me wanting to tear my hair out at times - remind me why I want to add another to the madhouse again?! 😂

Mrsrobinsonx · 09/02/2023 07:32

@Downtherabbithole83 thank you, that’s good to know. Think I may wait until tomorrow or not at all, don’t want to see the lines fade if they are going to!

@MrsL22 I wish I was that confident 😆 you’re so right though, why would you believe otherwise unless anything happened!

@DancingNancies definitely, I think I’ll probably worry the whole time tbh if this pregnancy is successful 🙈 x

Pitstop1986 · 09/02/2023 09:37

I had another negative this morning, but still no AF.

Now I'm worried that the ewcm that I got around cd 28/29 was actually a super late ovulation and I've missed my chance this month. We haven't dtd since cd 21. DH needed a rest after all our efforts for what should have been my fertile period and then I was working long hours st the hospital, so have been exhausted in the evenings, so have had no energy for any amorous activities...

I have no idea what's going on with my body! I'm currently cd 33, I usually only have a 31 day cycle

SimplyChic · 09/02/2023 10:31

@Downtherabbithole83 hello, nothing new to report here, partly why I haven't posted. Although I feel pretty convinced that I have PCOS now sadly.

Downtherabbithole83 · 09/02/2023 17:58

@Pitstop1986 sorry to hear it was another bfn and no AF either. I ovulated a lot later than I thought this month and my cycle was 4 days longer than it’s usual… it does seem to happen apparently but it’s annoying!!! Hope you’re doing okay.

@SimplyChic hopefully you can get some support and help at your GP appt.

@Mrsrobinsonx did you manage to hold off testing today?

Downtherabbithole83 · 10/02/2023 07:03

Morning all - had one IC left so figured one last POAS with fmu to make me feel better after a lighter one the other night… and while the test still has a decent line, it’s significantly lighter than it has been in the past.

Trying to tell myself it doesn’t matter, a line is a line and I’ve never POAS this late before so if I hadn’t I wouldn’t know and I don’t know what it should look like at this point, but I can’t help but worry.

So angry with myself for even doing it! Should have just put the extra tests in the bin.

Mrsrobinsonx · 10/02/2023 08:07

@Downtherabbithole83 Hi, I didn’t do a test as I started bleeding.
I say that, it was actually only after we dtd and I’ve not started like full flow bleeding but definitely the start of it.
So my gut was right and it’s another chemical for me, I’m not dealing with it great this time tbh. But giving it the weekend and will maybe ask the doctor for advice next week.

Hope everyone else is ok. X

Downtherabbithole83 · 10/02/2023 09:46

Oh @Mrsrobinsonx I’m really sorry to hear that. This whole journey is just so hard xx

SMG1992 · 10/02/2023 10:57

@Mrsrobinsonx wishing you all the best, defintiley worth contacting the doctor and asking for advice.

SMG1992 · 10/02/2023 10:59

I'm in a bit of a weird spot in the TWW. I'm going to take another test next Thursday 14dpo as am getting positive results but might still be hormones hanging around post MC so I'd like to compare after a week which should be enough time to know either way.
I'm trying to remain as optimistic as possible, but I don't want to kid myself.

MrsL22 · 10/02/2023 16:11

I’m so sorry to hear some of you are having a rubbish time :(

I hate to be that person… but I just thought I would let you all know about my repeat blood test.
On Wednesday my beta HCG was 68 and today it is 208 🥰

Obviously still not out of the woods obviously anything can happen at any point but so far all is looking well 🤞🏼

Pitstop1986 · 10/02/2023 17:43

@MrsL22 that's fantastic news! Congratulations!

@Mrsrobinsonx I'm so sorry to hear this

TTC really is an emotional rollercoaster

Still no AF for me and still testing negative. I'm going to order a female hormone test from Forth and do it once I finally get my period to see where I stand with everything. Also hoping yo clean up my diet a little to see if that helps any.
