TWW thread around 27/02/23

[TTCing]

Hi ladies,

who wants to join for the tww? I had peak fertility on 25/02/23. So I think I may have ovulated 26/02/23.

now in the tww.

who wants to join?

I’m TTC#2, month 8 of TTC this time. 16 months TTC #1.

I can’t say I’m feeling particularly hopeful. I’m used to the disappointment (again), sadly.

@Floralsandsmiles and @Piglet34 any updates? Xxxx

Morning @Freya8 ! So I've taken a FRER as it's doing my head in that I'm still spotting on and off and no AF. And it's a BFN. So where the hell is my AF!! I have always been so regular! Starting to think that the only change has been the supplements and maybe they have sent my body nuts??
How are you?? Any updates? Xxx

@Floralsandsmiles took an easy at home n neg this morn. I mean i think ppl swear by these tests? Not even a squinter. Boobs incredibly itchy last night read that can mean af coming. Loads of white cm too. Jus feel theres no point in me testin at 14dpo as anyone would get some sort of line. Jus want my period so i can be done with this shite xxxx

I agree hun, I whole heartedly agree! I mean the white CM is good though no? It's so confusing! Xxx

@Floralsandsmiles just sad 😔 then it opens up another can of worms as in jeez at the age of 37 now am i too old for this xxxx

No! You aren't too old! you're just feeling disappointed and in self protection mode. We all have days like this and it's healthy as its our bodies way of protecting us. Take a day for self care hun and be sad, then wake up fighting to hit it harder next time. Sending you hugs xxx

@Floralsandsmiles @Freya8 I'm also still in the same boat as you guys, no definite answer yet! 14dpo so AF is officially due tomorrow and I will test tomorrow morning too. I still have the spotting but weirdly not a drop all day and then it comes on around 6pm and tiny bit in the morning, what could that be about?!

@Floralsandsmiles what supplements did you start as I have heard they can change things for people the first cycle. Pregnacare conception made mine crazy literally spotted from ovulation but now I'm on seven seas and seems normal again.

This is exactly the same as me @Piglet34 !! What the hell!! Tiny pink spots in the morning and then the evening? Only when I wipe, nothing the rest of the day?

So I'm taking:

Folic acid
Vitamin D
Magnesium/calcium/zinc
DHA
Coq10
Iron

Could this have mucked the cycle up? Xxx

I took pregnancare for the month of jan before coming off pill. N then switched to just folic acid. Read alot about pregnacare messing up ppls cycles. Do u think if i jump up n down here enuff af will fall out 🙈🤣 xx

Haha @Freya8 the thought crossed my mind too! Driving me crazy! Lol xxx

@Floralsandsmiles sorry I don't know enough about it to know for sure! I think it's mainly the B vitamins that can alter your cycle though. I also just started taking DHA this cycle. Wondering if my dose is too high as doing a quick google it does say some things about it being linked to spotting. My fish oil capsule has 237mg am going to have a research !

Interesting @Piglet34 . I wonder what else, and if anything I am currently taking can alter my cycle...

These are the DHA I'm taking:

Omega 3 Fish Oil 2000mg, EPA 660mg DHA 440mg per Daily Serving. 120 Capsules (2 Months Supply). Supports Heart, Brain Function and Eye Health. 2 Capsules Per Serving amzn.eu/d/8xPORyr

Xxx

@Floralsandsmiles I think yours are about double mine as mine are 1100g, no idea how much we actually need though 🤔 I also get DH to take it as good for sperm apparently 😅 the things we try!!

So strange ladies I was absolutely convinced AF was going to show this morn as seemed like a lot of watery brown spotting when I first woke but since then not even a drop in my liner all day or when I wipe! What is going on!! Bet it comes back like clockwork at 6pm this eve 🙄🙄

@Piglet34 im convinced shes gonna show so much so i stuck a pad on!! Nout on it tho other than white cm. Been feelin super emosh n hot flushy. I jus want it to come instead of this wait! I think i musta had 2 surges or somethin n we didnt catch the actual one as didnt dtd enuff after in that supposed tww

@Freya8 ow :( I kind of want it to come but then also don't because I keep just thinking what iffff .... I have just bought some FRERs and going to do one in the morn! Never done a frer before only IC so that should give a definite answer! Are you going to test again?

@Piglet34 my last frer was monday morn at 11dpo and it was neg. Since then ive been doin the easy at home ones as i figured well if i get a hint of anythin i will buy a frer again. I think poss tomorrow ill test with frer just as it will be 1 day after and officially missed period. If thats neg i wont do another and just wait on af as it really gets ya down the bfns over an over! Xxx

@Freya8 I agree the BFNs are so sad 😞

AF has finally just shown for me ! So looks like I am officially CD1 all over again 😩 I guess at least I know now ..

Can't believe I bought those FRERs and then it came a few hours later , ah well no money wasted I guess and on to the next cycle.

Really hope you gals still waiting get answers soon xx

@Piglet34 awhhhh gutted abso gutted! Least u know an arent in limbo now best of luck for next xxx

@lilothblos negative on digital but tested on a frer and got a faint line and also a faint line on a cheapie at 14dpo. But that afternoon started Spotting. But it didn't touch the pad literally just as I wipe (TMI) was pink/brown and only one wipe was bright red. No clots. Usually I'm very heavy and very clotty. Didn't have any cramps or Moody either. Lasted 2.5 days But negative 15dpo/16 dpo. 17dpo today and I've been sick twice (once with coffee and the second time reading something just made me gag.) So I'm in limbo of weird period or could it be late implantation so who knows lol. I have doctors on Monday so gonna hold out and see what she says about it all.

Haha o dear @Piglet34 🤣 does that mean I'm taking too much? Did AF show?? Mine did at 6pm!!! Woohoo! Cd1! Xxxx

@Floralsandsmiles I don't think so necessarily, both are over the counter so should be fine but I guess speak to your doctor if you are worried :)

Snap!! Mine came at 5:30 😅 onto the next cycle for us xxx

This is good @Piglet34 ! Onto a fresh cycle and start for us! Xxx

Soooo my AF has vanished today ?!? There was the red blood last night at 5:30 but then only brown after that and now nothing again today .... what is going on! 😩

@Piglet34 take a frer and give me hope lol please im still sittin here no af 15dpo still frickin testin neg on the ic xx

@Freya8 ow so sorry you have uncertainty too 😞 I have drank a lot today now, wish I had done the frer this morn! I might try do a hold and test in a few hours with IC and then frer tomorrow morn if nothing else happens. That will be my first day officially missed

Unless that one wipe of red blood was my AF!! Who knows now , swear my body never did this before TTC 😩
