TWW - Short(ish) LP

Hi ladies! I was just wondering anyone wanted to join me in the TWW? According to my apps I was due to O tomorrow (10th, CD23) but have ended up O'ing on Thursday (06th, CD19 Hmm) so currently 3DPO. Thankfully had been BD but it's not going to be enough we don't think as only caught -3, -2, +1. This is our third month trying so not too long but I would love some company to stop me going mad, I only have a 10-12 day LP which is stressing me out as it doesn't feel long enough but apparently it is!! Grin. Baby dust to you all!

@mahii95 looks similar to be honest, is it different for you than usual? X

Ttcmumma · 03/08/2023 20:19

I have no pregnancy tests in the house and was curious if the lh tests really are good at detecting hcg and they really are 😅

@Ttcmumma Yeah they are I got a static smiley when I tested with my first born but I did test when I was 10 days late 😬

I don't know I've not really paid attention to my CM before but been searching and reading into it more now that I'm actively TTC

ReginaPhalange12 · 04/08/2023 11:18

Today I am 10DPO, AF due to start today but nothing yet although it usually happens later in the day. BFN on IC and Sainsburys test so not feeling too confident.

Hope everyone is getting on OK

TTC12023 · 04/08/2023 13:48

@ReginaPhalange12 You might just be too early, I only implanted at 8DPO (I had a one day dip in my BBT) and I wouldn't have shown up on a test at 10DPO; if you have a short LP then see how you get on in a couple of days ❤

I also got a BFN last night with my last urine of the at 9DPO after a 2-3hr hold..

10dpo today and daren't test again as it was so disheartening 🥺

I genuinely thought I'd have shown something cause I thought I had implanted at 6dpo due to a BBT dip and some spotting late 6dpo..

Going to hold off testing till AF is due at 14dpo now unless AF shows up

@ReginaPhalange12 @mahii95 i don’t think it’s uncommon with a usual 14 day cycle to only get a faint positive on the day AF is due. It’s even more complicated when you have short luteal phase or irregular cycles. Don’t count yourself out until AF arrives 🤞🏼

How long have you both been TTC?

@BB2818 thank you that's given me some hope..

This is only my second month of TTC 2nd child.. I understand it can take a while and I'm 28 this month so I get that I have a chance and time yet but just wish my BFP would hurry up 🥺 x

BB2818 · 04/08/2023 16:01

@mahii95 this is my second DC too. Will be an 8 year gap🙈. I had an ectopic pregnancy before my DC, another after. And two early miscarriages. We haven’t been TTC for the last few years. Actively TTC for just over a year. We found out I was pregnant this time a year to the week of our last miscarriage. It’s been a bit of a rollercoaster but it will happen for you 🙂

ReginaPhalange12 · 04/08/2023 17:21

@TTC12023 you're right, I just need to be patient.

@BB2818 this is cycle 1 TTC, I have DC4 & getting very conscious of the gap & my age. I also had an ectopic in 2018, thankfully treated without losing my tube but it weighs on my mind. If we're not lucky enough to get a BFP this month then I'm hopefully more relaxed than I have been so far as I know there could be a long road ahead 🤦🏽‍♀️

BB2818 · 06/08/2023 18:45

How is everyone?

Ttcmumma · 06/08/2023 19:08

@BB2818 anxious as can be 😅 how are you?

BB2818 · 06/08/2023 19:38

@Ttcmumma have you tested again? I am ok thank you 🙂

ReginaPhalange12 · 06/08/2023 19:56

AF arrived this morning ☹️ 12DPO though so my LP seems to be increasing which I'm pleased about.
Good luck to everyone testing soon

Ttcmumma · 06/08/2023 20:33

@BB2818 just been doing ovulation sticks as it's all I have, they are dye stealers so I'm guessing a good thing! Trying to wait until I'm 5 weeks for another clear blue so I can hopefully get 3+. I have no reason to worry other than my previous loss. My doctor didn't seem overly worried about my high prolactin and said it was coming down but now they can't check as it'll increase in pregnancy anyway.

Glad you're doing well!

@ReginaPhalange12 sorry to hear you're out this month, but glad you're seeing the positives still!

TTC12023 · 07/08/2023 07:20

@Ttcmumma @BB2818 I'm all good as well thank you! I was going to check in with you all today! Currently 28DPO 😝 with high BBT (I can't help but check!)
Still no real symptoms but I think they're getting stronger (unless it's in my head!)
Holding off booking an early scan as don't want to tempt fate but will book for 8 weeks if we do!
Currently 6+1 and I'm sure time has stopped 😵‍💫
@ReginaPhalange12 I'm sorry to hear AF arrived 🥺 you'll get there, we all thought it was impossible! I do know that when I really stopped overthinking it it happened, I still had an eye on things but not as much ❤️

Ttcmumma · 07/08/2023 08:12

Ordered another clear blue digital to come today as I feel like my symptoms have almost vanished for 2 days🤦🏼‍♀️ saying that I could cry for no reason at all so maybe just getting a break from the nausea and really sore boobs!
Anyway, as I'm getting due stealers on LH tests, do you think I still have to use morning urine for the clear blue? Don't want to wait till tomorrow but also don't want to waste it 😅

ReginaPhalange12 · 07/08/2023 12:01

@Ttcmumma @TTC12023 thank you both. Wishing you lots of luck in your pregnancies & beyond ☺️

mahii95 · 07/08/2023 14:24

I'm so confused.. I'm 13dpo and I've got egg white cervical mucus.. did ovulation test and came up as low.. so confused as usually it dries up before AF.. BBT plummeted down this morning.. the Femometer app assistant classed it as egg white CM when I uploaded a picture of it..

Bbt dropped this morning but no sign of AF yet..

Pictures attached.. sorry if TMI

@mahii95 hmm I'm not sure about the ewcm, did you bbt to confirm you ovulated the first time? Tho the dip in temperature and low lh, I would personally assume AF is on the way however you're not out until af shows 🤷🏼‍♀️

Just got a 2-3 weeks on clear blue test, so about right for one week ago giving me a 1-2 week, hoping that's a good sign for now. Got some twinges in my womb area today

Ttcmumma · 08/08/2023 07:57

Ladies, are these dye stealers or dodgy tests?

TWW - Short(ish) LP
mahii95 · 08/08/2023 17:06

@Ttcmumma the second one looks dodgy I'd say but the first one is BFP..

Hi all.. what's your thoughts on my BBT chart? Had different start times at work this weeks last 3-4 mornings hence the different time measurements as shown.. however only by like 30-45mins.. Currently 14dpo.. AF is due tomorrow.. had some mild twinges but nothing much.. last tested at 9dpo and got a BFN? Reckon an early CB digital would be accurate day of AF is due? Planning to test tomorrow with FMU.

BB2818 · 08/08/2023 18:48

@Ttcmumma I looked at the tests thinking what’s she on about being a dye stealer. Then I realised the control line is fainter 🤦🏼‍♀️. Have you tried another brand?

@TTC12023 I did BBT for about 5 weeks after then gradually stopped. Probably forgetting because of tiredness and sickness 🤢😴🤣.

@mahii95 have you any symptoms for AF? Nurse told me BBT is only accurate if you do it at the exact same time each day 🤪. I was setting my alarm for 6am even on a weekend 🙈

Ttcmumma · 08/08/2023 18:52

@BB2818 🤣 you thought I was stupid for a second didn't you. Yeah the control line was super faint and the test line was dark before it even finished. Stupidly I should have diluted my urine for the second test to check the difference but my morning brain wasn't working! Nah I haven't but I got digital 2-3 weeks yesterday so I'm assuming it's fine

mahii95 · 08/08/2023 18:55

Awww man maybe i need to do that on next cycle 🙈 just want AF to show up so I can start again 🙄 unless I get a positive with FMU tomorrow @BB2818
