TWW Buddies..

[cdn298]

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 😄

That’s really exciting @MrsL22 - I’m really happy for you. xx

Period pains have started pretty convincingly here… Mother Nature can be so cruel!

I’m out…

@MrsL22 congrats, that’s great news!

@Downtherabbithole83 im sorry this month was not your month, how many days post ovulation are you?

im not testing again until next Thursday so hopefully will have an idea then 🤞🏼

@SMG1992 not exactly sure - tested positive on 10dpo and they were really strong by the day AF was due. I’m about a week now after AF was due but I was getting cramps so thought I’d test again yesterday morning and the line was fainter than I’d expect and this afternoon and there was no line at all 😢

@SMG1992 @Downtherabbithole83 I’m now 15dpo and 3 days after AF due. Still no sign of anything other than BFP. Although for some reason, despite the reassurance from bloods yesterday, I still can’t accept it 🫣 any twinge and I’m in panic mode.

I think that’s understandable @MrsL22 . If it helps, I looked up my last pregnancy (through messages to my mum!) and found that my first symptoms didn’t turn up until 6-7 weeks. And even then it was just exhaustion and changes in my boobs (became more full-looking). Nausea came after that and vomiting started around 8 weeks.

But all pregnancies are different anyway. With my first I vomited once every day from 6-37 weeks. With my second it was once most days up to around 17 weeks and with my tfmr, it was nausea all day every day, less actual vomiting but felt so much worse! And those were all my pregnancies!!!! Vary even more person to person so don’t let lack of symptoms worry you xx

@Downtherabbithole83 yeah I’m trying to just relax and say there’s literally no reason why this wouldn’t be successful.
tbf… my nipples are bigger than I’ve ever known. 😂🫣

And there’s your symptom then @MrsL22 . That’s great 😃

I’m just waiting for AF now - hoping it doesn’t take long so we can try again!

@Downtherabbithole83 im really sorry about that, I hope your AF passes quickly and you can get prepared for next month
@MrsL22 i can imagine how you feel and know I’ll be the same when pregnant again. All I can think is that being worried and not enjoying when I’m pregnant again isn’t going to change anything, in fact it may well have a worse effect on my health so should try to enjoy it… I know, easier said than done!

Woke up this morning after a late night out and felt like I'd been hit by a bus. Have been exhausted this last week or so, but put it down to work. Figured I'd poas this afternoon just to rule it out, and OH! Explains a few things though!

DH is just looking at me in shock/horror - I'm not sure when he took the "let's see what happens" approach, he actually thought it would happen! Not quite the response I was hoping for but fingers crossed he'll come round soon! 🙈

@DancingNancies congratulations! Looks like we’re in this together 🤞🏼
How far along will you be?

3 weeks I think...so not far, but this was a very definite immediate positive so I'm hoping it's more sticky than last month's chemical. DH has seemingly got over his shock and has asked for a 'celebratory takeaway' - any excuse 😂

Exciting. Wishing you the best and hoping for both of us to have sticky babies 🤞🏼🥰

Congratulations @DancingNancies xx

@DancingNancies congratulations ❤️

@Pitstop1986 has AF arrived for you yet? Mine has arrived today.

CD1… here we go again!

@Mrsrobinsonx @Downtherabbithole83 thank you!

@MrsL22 how any weeks are you? Fingers crossed for a healthy sticky baby!

@MrsL22 and @DancingNancies congratulations! Your bfps have made me so happy!

Sorry I went a bit awol, AF was a massive b#*!&h thus cycle and then I wasn't feeling great. Decided to take opks as I was cramping and turns out my LH sure is 5 whole days early. Only dtd once today on the peak day so will see how that goes.

How is everyone?

@DancingNancies I’m 5w2d from LMP but I ovulate late so I reckon I’m more like 4w3d

AF still isn't here... I've given up on testing. Doing an overhaul of my diet and cutting out sugar. It's giving me something else to focus on rather than my loooong cycle. Currently cd 38, so period is one week late!!!

@DancingNancies huge congratulations!!! I'm thrilled for you! What a strong line!

Sorry to hear that @Pitstop1986 - have you had AF turn up late like this before?

Never... I've always been really regular, every 31 days. I have no idea what caused the late ovulation. I've ordered a female hormone test from forth, which will also look at vitamin deficiencies and thyroid function to see if anything is potentially a problem

I took a test this morning and there is the faintest line, if you turn the contrast up on the picture you can see it! I’m only 13dpo - is this a good sign?
or am I being too keen?

I was planning to do one of the clear blue ones tomorrow morning as am going away for the weekend until Monday. Are they generally the best ones?

Hi @MrsL22 !! I'm so sorry I missed your message, how are you getting on?

I'm doing well so far thanks, I had an early scan at 6+2 yesterday (perks of being a midwife!) And I got to see my little bean and heart rate. I've had severe cramps and pain and they can see a lot of free fluid in my pelvis which is likely a bleed from the corpus luteum but it doesn't see to be bothering the little bean at the minute so fingers crossed.
