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.

@ddaisynner hey my love how r u keepin? ❤️ im ok af due monday so 11dpo today completely broke down this month my nerves and anxiety about it all wasnt gonna lh test but had to know wen to book 21 day test for progestrone with dr. Didnt give it our all as absolutely deflated. Hubby done sperm analysis also so we are jus waitin on results of everthing. So wen af shows here on monday i think i need to take a break from it all and seriously hava think about if we want to continue. Done accupuncture n cuppin too. How many weeks are u now xxx

@Freya8 I have my fingers crossed for you that this is the cycle. I honestly don't blame you, you have had so many ups and downs really hope the doctors can help and af doesnt come. You deserve some good news 🤞🤞

I'm 8 weeks today, nothing much to report to be honest. I get random nausea usually at night, still haven't had my first appointment with the midwife but hoping to hear from them soon they have changed it so its a online referral rather than a through the gp appointment but been waiting 2 weeks and haven't heard anything 🙈 it's strange thinking in a months time I'll be having the first scan

Sorry to hear this @Freya8 ! But positive steps on the tests being done! I had all those tests done and nothing has come back wrong... and I'm still not there either. I know you had a suspected CP too, that was horrible. I haven't even had that, so really worrying there is an issue.
I say a gynae about spotting and they have given me progesterone tablets to start 4dpo.. I am ovulating today. So I'm hoping this makes a difference! Although reading up, i can't see anything where people have said this helped them conceive? Absolutely delayed and devasted with you, so am joining your club too.my nerves can't take much more! Xxx

Hi @ddaisynner 👋 glad to hear you are keeping well! And that its nearly scan time! I didn't know it was all online now with midwifes! Surprised you haven't had any contact yet at all? Xxx

@ddaisynner awh not long now at all until a scan! Tho i know wen waitin it seems like a lifetime. So excited for u!! Id take the nausea at night anytime!! Im jus kinda in limbo and don't even know wat answers i want my results to give. Like do i hope theres something wrong they can poss fix? Or do i jus hope its nothin but then torture myself every month bein like why crazy way to be thinkin xxx

@Floralsandsmiles heyyyy babes im so sorry your journey isnt plain sailin either truely am 😔 what about the ivf? My hubby suggested it to me there but im a good bit older than u so that i feel would go against me. Dunno heads in a pickle a bit like yours just feel at end of tether n came off pill end of feb n jus hada rollercoaster of shite basically same as you. I dont wana be all doom and gloom at all but feel its def a slippery slope. At this point i cant imagine myself with another baby which is so sad xxxxx

Aww @Freya8 it's awful isn't it! I can't have the ivf yet as still waiting for smear results unfortunately. Its been ages! It is definitely all a roller coaster! I'm sorry you are feeling so low. Well done you for taking control on tests though, hopefully this will give you some answers and piece of mind. It could be a small imbalance and can be fixed and then hopefully you will have your much deserved BFP! I'm crossing everything for you xxxx

Well girls af arrived for me as per 13dpo last night and shes a sore sore one. Ive to ring to get hubbys n my results today but gona be honest here .. i am that consumed with anxiety and pressure i feel like regardless of wat it says we try one more month n then give up. Even at that i dont even know if i wana try anymore. I keep thinkin that wen i was on pill everythin was plain sailin my periods wer so light n hormones wernt all over the bloody place like they are now. My emotions too! An thing is yes we cud jus forget about it all n say we arent tryin but i think back of my head would be lik but i know we are like my body would know anyways. Sorry for the rant jus need to get my shit together. Really am leanin towards jus leavin it n bein happy with my daughter. Shes 7 now and im 38 im not gettin any younger what am i doin forcin this. Is this the universe jus sayin no xxx

Oh @Freya8 I'm so sorry babe :( I really hope the doctors have some good news for you and can explain why your body is acting the way it is 🥺🥺 I really hope the af calms down for you. Mine have been super light and it took 5 months to catch.

The doctor suggested I was starting the perimenapause and I'm literally 30 this year 🙈 So I think this will be my last baba but 3 is defo plenty for me. The last month I tried the doctor recommended fertility g*ummies, drinking pomegranate juice and eating pineapple (I hate pineapple) maybe the doctor could prescribed some clomid (whatever its called) or could try ivf if all fails 🥺 defo don't give up. You deserve that extra baba and happiness

Taking a break is a good idea stop tracking, enjoy bd and just think if it happens it happens. Sometimes the best things come by surprise. Bugs hugs to you

Still no contact from the midwives been 2 weeks and a day since I self referred now 🙈 there isn't even a number to call to check. Bit I'm hoping I'll here soon because I'm so worried to be forgotten lol

@ddaisynner awh thank u for all ur support it means alot!! 💓 ive no idea way way midwives apps work its been that long since my daughter!!! Lol surely they wont hav forgotten probbers jus back logs everywhere xx

Sorry you are feeling this way @Freya8 ! Maybe take a few months off and approach with a fresh mind, it's all consuming and damaging from a mental health perspective too, as there is no answers as to why it isn't happening etc
I feel you, I really do. Sending hugs xxxx

Can you submit more than one referral? To prompt the system to answer the first? Xxx

How are you all doing ladies? Xxx

@Floralsandsmiles I had my 12 week scan on Thursday. Feels more real now. I'm now 13+3 got my gender scan in 2 weeks 😍 How are you?

@Freya8 how are you lovely

@Floralsandsmiles @ddaisynner hey how r u both?

Omg @ddaisynner thats so so lovely thats flyin in for you my goodness! Are u gonna find out wat ur havin? Chuffed to bits for u xxxx

@Floralsandsmiles hey babes hows u dealing with everythin? Xxxx

Im on cd6 today of cycle 7. Progestrone tests and rubella everythin all came bk clear hubbys SA came back with good results only slightly under in morphology but dr was like its marginal. Im doin a amh test this week so see wat that brings tho im fairly reg. Ive had 3 chemicals now in 6 months weirdly at month 2 4 and 6 there all faint lines that never progress and on all diff tests too. Dont really know how i am mentally to be fair. Prob give it to end of year n give up. The actual physical symtoms every month floor me in terms of cramps boobs hurtin n periods that are quite intense i can only presume are instense as somethin is maybe trying to happen but failing. Yeh soul is destroyed at this point not gonna lie and i know theres alot of happy stories out there but cant shake this feelin mine wont be one of them xxx

Aww this is amazing @ddaisynner ! A massive congratulations! Must have been so nice seeing little one on the screen!

I'm OK, had a chemical last month which utterly devasted me. However this cycle I'm currently 5dpo. I will be honest I felt some of the same symptoms I had last month, this month, from 3dpo. But u know that's too early, so it can't have been implantation. So who knows.
Anyways we are doing ivf this cycle, start when AF arrives. Part of me hopes I get a positive test just before we start but the other part wants to start otherwise I will be in this constant cycle each month and I need to break myself out of it for my own sanity.. xxxx

Aww @Freya8! I.hate to hear you so low! Positives this month for you: you've started investigating and everything is coming back OK 👍👌 hang in there, you've got this. Sending you loads of love and hugs! Be kind to yourself darling, you're doing amazing xxxxx

@Floralsandsmiles thank u 💓 how r u doing? I dont want to pry if ur not wantin to talk about anythin but know am here. I had to come off the 35+thread for a bit xxx

Sorry babes im only seein the post now above that one

@Floralsandsmiles im so sorry for ur chemical 😔 your so strong!! Its a tuff journey esp wen everyone is telling you more fertile after chemicals .. in my case this is not true. They also tell u that its good thing u can get preg too. Full praise for goin down the ivf route and ive heard miracles of ppl gettin bfp right before! Xxx

@Freya8 I am - I was actually buzzing because my local scan place was holding a giveaway for a scan and I actually won it so saving myself £87 lol but yeah 2 weeks today. I'm so exicted to see if baba is a girl because I tried to gender sway. I sent off the scan to early glimpse and nub whisperers to guess and they both came back as girl so 🤞🤞🤞

I would ask to go onto progesterone with all thise chemicals 🥺 I'm so glad the tests have come back all normal hopefully your get your rainbow baby soon 🤞

@Floralsandsmiles oh hun I'm so sorry about the chemical last month, I really hope this month is it for you. But I'm exicted that your starting ivf next time 🤞 you never know your have your secret rainbow 🌈 really have my fingers crossed for you both

It was dreadful, I know you understand @Freya8 . I really thought that was the one! I had all the symptoms, tests were darker over the 4 days too. Devasting.
I am hoping for the more fertile rule, who knows though! If no BFP before, I will be starting ivf 13th September hopefully
I'm sorry that you are feeling so low, from experience (as I was the same), I felt better after I had a plan in place as next steps, felt I had abut more control of the situation xxxx

Oooo @ddaisynner , please let us know when you find out? I'd love a little girl too, but now I'm not fussed at all.
Thank you, really crossing my fingers that it will fall natural (by the skin of its teeth in the next week) or will fall on the first round of IVF as we can't afford multiple cycles.. 😒 xxxx

@Freya8 @Floralsandsmiles how are you both doing? Any news?

I had my gender scan and its another boy although I'm a bit unsure because she wasn't filled with confidence and the two images I got was a bit contradicting 🙈 but at least it isn't long until the 20 week scan to confirm 🤞 both my boys cried their eyes out they didn't want another brother 🤣🤣 but I'm happy that bab is healthy
