TTC March 2023

[ManifestingBaby2023]

Hey lovely ladies!

I saw a few other similar threads, but didn't know if anyone would join me for the TWW (I'm driving myself crazy) and if anyone else is hoping for that BFP this month!

[LeopardLover]

@thsv Ah, I'm sorry. That's really frustrating about the evap, especially when they aren't the most affordable tests!

I'm not sure but I would imagine so, because if you have multiple chemical miscarriages this could be a sign some additional investigation could be needed? But I'm sure others could advise.

Sending lots of love! X

@HannahLouD my spotting seems to have stopped now 🤞🏼 and I've had line progression but goes to show that we shouldn't test everyday doesn't it as my line progression is every 2 days it seems so far, although it is so early so HCG is still climbing!

[HannahLouD]

@Angelselevenx feeling positive for you! 🤞 Are you still temping? Has it stayed risen?
I stopped temping yesterday (15dpo) as I didn't want to cause myself more stress 😅x

[Angelselevenx]

@HannahLouD I have still been temping yeah and temp has stayed up, I'm 13dpo now but still so early

[HannahLouD]

@Angelselevenx that's good news it hasn't dropped yet though! 🤞🤞🤞X

[Angelselevenx]

@HannahLouD did yours drop? I think once confirmed pregnant you should stop anyway (I should probably stop) as it'll cause unnecessary stress! X

[HannahLouD]

@Angelselevenx no, it was still very high yesterday at 15dpo so I've stopped now as yeah, don't want to stress myself out! I'd stop too if I were you!
I stopped last month at 13dpo after my bfp so don't know when it would have dropped after that... x

[Angelselevenx]

@HannahLouD I think I will! I confirmed on a digital test this morning but going to go back out and get a digital with the weeks included so I can see what it says and if it progresses. Then I really will stop 😅

How do you feel? X

[HannahLouD]

@Angelselevenx eeek exciting!! 😬🤞
I did a weeks indicator at 12dpo and got 1-2 weeks, then did one with smu on 14dpo and freaked out as it still said 1-2 weeks so did one again that same evening 🙄 (I know!) And I got 2-3 weeks... I've read so many posts about peoples not progressing at the right times or not getting past 2-3 and so I know I shouldnt do anymore... But I've got one left now so I'm absolutely gonna test again at 21dpo and inevitably freak out if it doesn't say 3+ 😶😅🤦🏻‍♀️x

[Angelselevenx]

@HannahLouD I'm gunna make sure I don't test until tomorrow morning with the digital 🤣 she says!!! I know it's so difficult, I just want to see a bright bright line but I need to remember it's early! I feel so tired today, more than normal but who knows if it's a symptom or not 😅 x

[HannahLouD]

@Angelselevenx you've got this! 💪

I've been feeling really tired the past few days (again, probably just symptom spotting!) But my nipples have defo been feeling off... They're really tingly and like, burning hot? 😅🙈 Again though, I think i only really notice it when I stop and think about it. So who knows!x

[Angelselevenx]

@HannahLouD my nipples are the same! Only when I touch them though they feel so sensitive 😅. At the end of the day too I'm so bloated but that's probably me just overthinking and blaming for all the food I've eaten 🤣🤣🤣 x

[Angelselevenx]

@HannahLouD I'm also peeing loads!!

[HannahLouD]

Waaaahhh my frer today is slightly lighter/the same as yesterday's... I've had very little progression over 4 days. Really do think this is heading in the direction of another chemical. I've not had a good feeling about it from the start... 💔 Should at least see some more progression at this stage :( my tests stalled last time and that was the telltale sign. I just know it's happening again... 😞x

[HannahLouD]

Not looking good... Frers stalled last time... Not feeling great right now :( today's is defo a bit lighter 💔

[Angelselevenx]

@HannahLouD stop testing, your 16dpo test looks really strong and hcg doubles every 24-48 hours. They're only there to tell you you're pregnant and not how pregnant you are! (Need to take my own advice) x

[Moriquendi]

@HannahLouD I really think you are overthinking this. Those lines look brilliant to me, I don’t think they can get any darker!! Once they are due stealers I’ve never seen any more progression.

If you are still nervous maybe do blood testing privately (I think you can just order the tests online and then send them off) to confirm hCG is doubling?

You are pregnant today and until you bleed that this still the case. Try to relax and enjoy it. Otherwise it’s going to be a very long 40 weeks 🙈

[Bellabeemarie]

@HannahLouD I don't think they are going to get much darker than a dye stealer babe, I know your anxious but I would really consider asking for a blood test they anxiety must be awful for you right now 🩷

[HannahLouD]

@Angelselevenx @Bellabeemarie @Moriquendi thanks girls... I'm so sorry. I know full well I am being a complete loon. You guys are all right, the tests are strong and I should be happy and thankful for that and just take each day as it comes. Is very much doubt my GP will do anything as I've only had one loss before. I would order private tests but that seems extreme, even for me 😅 I mean, maybe if I was rich... 😂🙈
I'm actually seeing someone for my anxiety in general and having CBT for it but she's cancelled our last 2 sessions due to illness. Seeing her on Thursday so hopefully will be able to work through some of my anxiety then.
I guess the other thing that's worrying me is all my symptoms seem to have completely gone today. The last few days I've been tired, had headaches (which I never ever have!) A bit of nausea and really sore, tingly nipples... Last night they literally felt like they were on fire haha. Today I have nothing at all. All gone. It's all just so nerve wracking. Along with my gut feeling this isn't the one. I absolutely cannot potentially go 9 months like this. I never had this anxiety when I was pregnant with my daughter... I don't know what's happened to me. 😶😩
Really, really appriciate your support and kindness... It's getting me through! Thank you xx

[Angelselevenx]

@HannahLouD sent you a PM x

[Bellabeemarie]

@HannahLouD just call them up and explain how your feeling, say you've made yourself sick with worry since your loss you can't stop worrying and would put your mind at ease.... they can only say no babe. How you feeling today xxx

[HannahLouD]

@Bellabeemarie thank you! I called them this morning actually and they said unless I have cramping or bleeding they won't do anything... Which I totally understand as I'm being super irrational and just ott worried 🤦🏻‍♀️
I'm ok actually today thanks... Still a bit worried as my symptoms haven't come back so don't feel pregnant at all. But hoping that it's normal at this stage for symptoms to come and go and that they'll come back and make me feel like poop again soon 🙈😂

How are you doing? 😊

Anyone else having symptoms come and go in these early stages? (I know everyone and every pregnancy is different... Can't remember how I felt at this stage with my daughter!) x

[Bellabeemarie]

@HannahLouD ah I can only imagine what your going through hun honestly ❤️

But with no cramps or bleeding everything should be fine... could you afford to book a reassurance scan for around 6 weeks?x

[YearoftheRabbit23]

@HannahLouD with my first I had no symptoms till around 7 weeks. Please don't read too much into lack of symptoms! As long as you don't get your period then you are pregnant, and I hope it stays that way to full term for you!

[HannahLouD]

@Bellabeemarie I really don't know why I'm being so ridiculous! Hopefully in 9 months time I'll be able to look back at myself and laugh at how silly I was being 🤞
Yes, I could get a scan, but I've read you can't always see a heartbeat at 6 weeks and if that happened and then I had to wait another week or so for a rescan I'd probably drive myself even more insane. If I get that far I'll book in for one around 7/8 weeks I think x
