TWW

[Megan993]

Is there anything you ladies done in the TWW that you swear helped you have a successful implantation?

That definitely getting darker 🙊 I rang the EPU at 13 dpo as was worried about the faint line and she said any faint line is a positive test. She said to me to stop testing and then if your period still doesn’t come then test again in a week and then you will know for sure!

my tests were exactly the same as yours 🥰🥰 x

@PoppySeed31 how are you feeling lovely? X

@Sav96 ah that's reassuring to know. One week since when? When are you next testing? I have 4 more frers which would be shame to waste, so thinking of testing next 2 days and then leaving the other two for next week?

Day 14 was my last test on Tuesday last week so will be testing again in the morning and then letting her know. I did do a sneaky test on Thursday and it was driving me mad and it was so dark compared to the others so not worried at all!

@Sav96 fingers crossed all goes well 🤞

@Sav96 so would you say you got same as control line or better than control on DPO 14 or did you get it on Thursday?

My main worry now is symptoms going (not tired and crampy anymore), and having much more faint line in test Vs control.

I got a faint line still on 14 dpo and then on day 16 I got a strong line which was the same colour as the control line so did take a while. Last time I was pregnant the progression was quicker so I guess each pregnancy is different. You could have implanted a few days later too? Ovulated as you worked it out but then implanted later maybe. I wouldn’t worry about symptoms either as I don’t have any this week at all but definitely still pregnant.

its hard not to guess when it’s all you want and it’s nerve wracking and I didn’t take my own advice when it was me last week either 😂 don’t forget to use morning wee or the line will be weaker due to more diluted with water as you intake water during the day! Sorry if you already know that x

@Sav96 how are you this morning? I've got everything crossed for you x

Unfortunately AF came for me so back to square 1. Hope you are doing well :) x

I'm such a mess this morning. The line is fainter and I am having cramps. My temperature seems to be dropping. And my partner ordered something that I can't eat for lunch 😭

@Sav96
Gosh just caught up on all of the messages here. How are you doing? Did you test again today? When was AF due?
EPU is right, a line is a line no matter how faint it's positive!💕

I'm cycle day 13 now and ovulation tests are getting darker so thinking I could reach my peak tonight/tomorrow. Been more chilled this month haven't been obsessing over everything, hoping that works in my favour. So many women say once they stopped obsessing they fell pregnant but we can only hope aye! X

Think you may have meant to tag @PeacefulD in your message! I agree a faint line is a positive line. Will continue to be positive until your period comes!

I am 5 weeks and 2 days pregnant now 🥰 very nervous and not truly celebrating as still worried I will have a missed miscarriage again. Will feel better at 12 week scan if everything is okay x

I now just hope it is not an ectopic pregnancy and if it's a miscarriage/chemical pregnancy, that it will happen soon. I am sad to say it, but I'm listening to my body and either I'm wrong (great!) or I'm right and I'd rather know early. I booked GP blood test end of this week.

@Sav96 did you end up telling your midwife and doing the test today?

@PeacefulD

I really hope you are wrong and your pregnancy goes smoothly! Still time to get darker, your hormones may just be going slow but you know your body. I had cramping at around 4 weeks and was convinced I would loose the baby again but all seems okay now.

yes phoned midwife as clearblue said 3+ so definitely matching up the 5+3 I’ve worked myself out to be. First appointment is 13th March but can phone in a few weeks around 7 weeks for an early scan if still feeling anxious x

@Sav96 ah I'm so happy for you! Cheering for you!! Hope it goes well at the early scan

I've gone down a rabbit hole and now after not testing for 2 days, I don't even feel like testing as it makes me so anxious.

I really hope everything works out in the end.

@PeacefulD

its good that you haven’t tested for a few days, that will give your body time to produce more HCG and hopefully give you that stronger line you are waiting for. I would test this morning or tomorrow morning and you should know for sure with the next result. I’m so praying for you 🤍

@Sav96 my blood test came back as very low HCG level, so it's not a viable pregnancy. I'm hoping this will pass soon and that it's not ectopic pregnancy, that's all I can hope for. I've already grieved to be honest, a loss is a loss but I'm just hoping it doesn't lead to anything serious

@PeacefulD

I’m so sorry to hear your news I have been thinking about you 🤍 a loss of life is always a loss no matter how long you carried that precious life for. Here always if you need to talk.

I hope everything goes as smoothly and as quickly as you need it to without leading to complications x

I was due 3 days ago
had the awful headache yesterday I get the day before so hopefully it appears today
ttc but BFN when testing! 3 days late! So annoying usually bang on time. 26-28 day currently CD29 very unusual the only thing I’ve done different this month is every single day we have done the home insemination method every single day that we haven’t DTD to boost chances. What the heck is happening

Me & my partner have been trying to convince for 3 cycles now. My first pregnancy was accidental, had sex once using withdrawal 6 days into my cycle after a heavy weekend of drinking back when I used to smoke. I know the date I ovulated in my last cycle & we tried every day for 5 days up to ovulation, the day of ovulation & the day after. I was so certain we had conceived, my body even mimicked the exact same pregnancy symptoms as the first time. Needless to say, I felt like a lost something that never existed when the test came back negative. At that point I realised how much stress I was putting on my body during the TWW. I know they say do things to take your mind off it, but that's literally impossible. I can't face that disappointed again so I'm done with cycle & ovulation tracking, I'm done with "actively trying" new plan is to enjoy an active sex life with my partner & let nature take it's course. I believe the mental stress & strain we put on our self & our body affects implantation more than we realise. Going through that emotional & mental trauma every cycle is not healthy. I hope this helps.
