TWW - Testing Around 1st March

[TTCRainbow]

Creating a thread for anyone close to ovulation or already in the TWW! I find this journey easier speaking to people going through the same and on the same timeline. We are trying for baby #1 after a MC end of June/July, we was going with the flow but after nothing happening we decided to start tracking ovulation last month and this month i started tracking BBT as well. This month is also our first month using Preseed after I saw so many people say it helped!

I am currently 3DPO - Ovulation was on cycle day 15 confirmed by BBT.

@UnwieldyRhombus Yay!! So happy for you. Glad everything is all ok! One day im excited the next im nervous. Im next up then @Myperfectchaos & @DiamondApricot the following day. Mine is a nice early one at 9.35am which i am go glad about as i wouldn't be able to concentrate all day haha I'm a first timer for NHS scan at 12 weeks, do you get your scan photos free?? xx

@UnwieldyRhombus excellent news, I'm taking it as a good omen for all of us!
Mine is early too, 9.30am, I've never wanted a weekend to go quicker!
@TTCRainbow I think it probably depends on your trust, does it say on your scan letter?
Mine says bring £5 cash for photos but it said that for my first pregnancy and there was no charge, it was in weird covid times though.

@DiamondApricot I feel the same! We've actually got a busy weekend planned so i'm hoping that it makes time go faster! I'll have to check my letter when i am home, i don't remember seeing it say anything but i might have missed it.. maybe ill just bring cash with me just in case anyway. I'm in West Sussex, is it different in different areas.. so bad if it is, should all be the same.

Anyone's tummy/bumps growing yet? I had a small lower bloat but this pass week i feel like its starting to look less like bloat and more like a tiny bump! & Anyone feel like they are having a boy or girl? I am convinced mine is a girl. Hoping that 12 week scan shows a nub just for some fun guesses! xx

Good luck for tomorrow @TTCRainbow 🍀

@DiamondApricot thank you ❤️

Scan went really well, everything looking all good and dated me 3 days ahead so I’m 12 + 6 today and due date of 8th November. So happy and grateful 🥺❤️

@TTCRainbow oh fabulous, so glad all was well. Lovely pics 😍 does it feel a bit more real now? X

@Sb86 no still doesn't feel real!! Such a relief knowing they are still ok and growing but i don't think it will feel real to me until i am in labour lol Hoping all the screening tests come back ok, thats the next worry! But so happy!! xx

Good Luck @DiamondApricot & @Myperfectchaos for tomorrow xxx

@TTCRainbow there's always something isn't there. I know what you mean, we've got 2 more sleeps until our 12 week scan and I've had nightmares and well just constantly anxious about it. Them like you say it will be the results of the combined test after to dread and then the rest. One step at a time though and it's a milestone hit isn't it xx

@TTCRainbow marvellous news! Fab pics as well, baby was behaving!

Thanks for the luck, I'm so bloody nervous. I swear I can feel a bit of movement so what was a concept is now more real and I just hope they're ok!
Did they say how long for the screening results to come through?

@Sb86 is yours on Thursday?

Yeah @DiamondApricot Thursday at 12, I thought I'd felt a couple of flutters yesterday and the day before...it could have just been a bit of wind haha 😄

What time is your scan tomorrow?

@DiamondApricot baby wasn't behaving and was doing flips upside down then when they was trying to measure had its chin tucked in and legs up so they laid me flat and and had to do hip thrusts but it still wasn't good enough so i had so go empty half my bladder and run up and down the stairs lmao We got there in the end!

Screening results they said if there is anything they are worried about they will call with in 3 days if not it will come through in a letter within 2 weeks and 20 week scan should get booked and sent it post too. We are thinking of doing a 16 week private gender scan as well. I sent the scan photos to Nub techs and there was no nub visible so inconclusive 😪not that the sex matters but i love guessing and all the theory's xx

@Sb86 not too much longer to go although feels like such a long wait when you just want to see your baby xx

I’m so nervous for tomorrow! Mine is at 1145

@TTCRainbow those pics are so nice to see 🥰

Good luck @Myperfectchaos ❤️

Good luck for the scan today @DiamondApricot ❤️

Thank you everyone, all is perfect, one healthy bean!

@DiamondApricot amazing!!! How was your dates are whats your official NHS due date? I'm saying little girl 💗

@TTCRainbow thanks, your pics are far more impressive! They've dated me at 12+5 so due date 10.11. My first was 5 days early so I'm hoping for a bonfire night baby.
My nub theory googling also says girl but who knows!

Awww that's a wonderful pic @DiamondApricot so happy all is well ❤️

@DiamondApricot My family and friends who we sent it to said they cant believe how clear my scan is! Not sure why what was but still no nub visible 😫 😂You photo is lovely! I defo think i see a girl nub xx

@Myperfectchaos should be having yours as we speak! Good luck xxx

All is perfect! Measuring at 12+5 due date 10th nov

Lovely picture @Myperfectchaos ❤️

I'm so blooming scared for mine tomorrow, just praying everything is all good. Aaaargh it's so nervewracking 😫

@Sb86 keep us updated, it will be great! I was so nervous at the start

@Myperfectchaos I hope so, I can't help but think the worst. After mc last October at 8 weeks and finding out we were expecting again at the beginning of March...it just seems too good to be true. Don't feel connected to this baby at all, I'm hoping if all is well tomorrow that it changes 🙏🏼

@Myperfectchaos congratulations due date twin!

@Sb86 it is far more likely that everything will be OK than not OK, it'll all be done this time tomorrow. I've only started feeling connected in the past week and there are plenty of examples on here that don't feel it until birth so I wouldn't worry about that!
