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.

@SC0205 best of luck for Sunday! I caved on Wednesday and got a BFN but still holding on to a bit of hope. I'm not 100% sure, 12 or 13 DPO I think. AF is due from tomorrow so it'll be my last chance to test this cycle.

@1sttimemummy2022 congratulations! X

@Sb86 I might request this and see if they will.. i doubt it but worth a try! It's such a nervous strange period knowing you are but not hearing or speaking to anyone about it or even having blood test yet.. feels strange! I had to google that.. oh no sounds horrible :(

@SC0205 You're doing well! I caved at either 8 or 9 DPO - BFN but go faint positive next day!

@1sttimemummy2022 congratulations!! I'm going to do a clear blue digital with dating tomorrow which is when my AF is due/late.. i'll update you all tomorrow :)

xx

@DiamondApricot thank you so much. Need all the luck I can get! There's still time, everything crossed for you 💛

@TTCRainbow so you got BFP on 10DPO. It's it very difficult 🤣. Went out for some drinks with friends yesterday but had to discreet not to drink drink. Luckily I'm not a beer girl and makes it abit easier. Good distraction and I am looking after my partners mums dog. She's super cute and a really nice distraction. Crazy how they make you feel calmer. She lay on my stomach when I was preggo in Feb and i wondered if she knew.
Oooo, the dated tests. Exciting!

At the moment: I've had slight nausea the last couple of days (not sure if this was from dodgy food), I think cramping, dodgy stomach, good appetite (probs normal for when period coming), tired (although last weekend was on a course and work either side). Hard not to overanalyse! Glad of this thread so can voice some stuff. Did any of you early BFP have symptoms? X

Yep, pretty lucky thread!

Congratulations @DiamondApricot 🎊

@DiamondApricot congratulations 🥺🥺❤️❤️

So update from me, I did CBD test yesterday and said ‘pregnant 1-2’ which was expected but I still feel very symptom-less and although my boobs had felt bigger and slightly sore to touch but not very much but today they feel like they’ve changed and look smaller, softer and semi normal which as you can imagine today has been a really emotional anxious day 😒 This was my first sign of my miscarriage last time and I don’t want to think negatively but I am just so scared. My OH has been so amazing and I know that everything is completely out of my control right now but it’s really hard to not think the worse. Hoping for a miracle and everything will be ok 🥺🌈🙏🏼👶🏼

I hope everyone else is doing ok xxx

Also.. up until last night/today I needed the wee all the time and today just feel back to normal, no needed the loo anymore than I would. Just feel like all these things would be increasing not decreasing, especially boobs and wee 😩

@TTCRainbow it's awful isn't it, I've been in London all wknd for my Christmas present and I started spotting brown yesterday and still today. Only when I wipe and not a lot but again it's very triggering. I didn't take any tests with me but will be testing in the morning, I also feel very symptomless so am expecting the worst. It's just shit! I'm on way back now and googling how to up progesterone levels 😔

Praying for you and me both 🙏🏼 ❤️

@Sb86 😒 it’s so shit. I honestly don’t know how I’m going to function at work tomorrow/this week when it’s all I can think about. I feel like I can’t even go get blood test done or speak to anyone as they just won’t care 😩 praying for us both 🫶🏼 I hope you had a lovely time away xx

@Sb86 and @TTCRainbow, fingers crossed for you both xxx

Thankyou @TTCRainbow and @UnwieldyRhombus I couldn't help myself and took 3 tests when I got back. I'm 12dpo and obviously it's night time so I was happy with the lines. Saving my first response til morning though to see the line progression. I'm then going to phone epau tomorrow to try get an early scan and ask about bloods and any advice for upping progesterone naturally as I know they won't prescribe me it. I really do not feel pregnant at all, I obviously am but it's just a bit scary.

I had a lovely wknd thankyou, watched a guy called Rob Madge friday and Phantom of the Opera on Saturday which was absolutely amazing!!

Fingers crossed we both start feeling things soon, I've read symptoms can come and go because of the fluctuations of hormones so hopefully everything will be just fine xx

Sorry got carried away and forgot to post the latest tests 😅 excuse my rushed writing...not that it's much better when I'm trying to be neat haha

@Sb86 They are really strong positives!

How far is everyone?

How are you feeling today @TTCRainbow xx

@Sb86 They are really good lines for 12DPO! I've tested with cheapy strip test this morning and still seems like a good line. Still not feeling great thought. I've had no belly/back ache like i did last time and what everyone seems to experience this early and the only symptoms i did have (boobs and frequent loo visits) are still not there any more. Don't know if i should contact EPU, i don't even know what to say and scared of rejection from them. Waiting to be contacted from my referral to tell them how i feel but that could be another week/two. Feel really unsure and lost :(

I would ring them up, they might be able to offer reassurance. It's good that you've got a good line on the test, it's still early days so try not to worry too much. Every pregnancy is different and symptoms can come and go xx

How is everyone feeling?

I'm not feeling v pregnant only sore boobs this time around! Suppose only early 🙈

@Sb86 Hey hope you're good today! Hows the spotting been and did you call? I haven't called yet im going to try wait until the midwife or whoever it is contacts me and just speak to them about how im feeling. As im also nervous for a early scan... cant win!

@1sttimemummy2022 Me either! I'm 17DPO (4 weeks 3 days) and and still feeling very unpregnant and boobs are on and off sore but when they are sore only very slightly on the sides. Today thought i am feeling extremely bloated, sat at work with unbuttoned trousers lmao Maybe its the torture of knowing so early we think we should be feeling things.

I keep testing every day (sometimes twice) and Friday/Saturday going to do another CBD date test to make sure it moves from 1-2 weeks to 2-3.

Praying and hoping our little rainbow baby grows, i am full of so much anxiety every day :(

A tentative wohooo! Going to test again tomorrow using an early first response.

@TTCRainbow
I totally get that. I'll be testing daily now.

Anyone got any good tips for a super sticky baby????

@SC0205 amazinggg 😍 I just did one when I got back from work and it’s my first ever dye stealer! Not quite as impressive as yours but it’s made me feel slightly more reassured.. come on sticky babies 👶🏼🤞🏼

@SC0205 just realised I’m looking at yours wrong way around 🤦🏼‍♀️😂 I don’t know if baby brain is a thing this early but I’ve been such a doughnut 😂

Hey @TTCRainbow I feel alright today, feel like I've not spotted as much but not been on my feet as much so that could be why. Also it did this last year where I'd think it stopped and then it came back so I'm not holding my breath. I've been very gassy today and I'm feeling bloated, my partner thinks my boobs have changed...they just aren't like last time or tender. I'm only 3+5weeks not 4 weeks like my app said so maybe they will come in the next week or so. I rang EPU today and have a scan booked for 23rd of March, asked about progesterone and they said I could see if gp will prescribe it until the scan so will ring tomorrow. Also mypregnancynotes has linked with my hospital notes today and I've noticed I've got my booking in appointment for April 11th. I miscarried the day after my booking in appointment last year, I just wish I could get excited about this 😫

That dye stealer is a good sign surely, how has everything been today?

Congratulations @SC0205 🎊
