TWW - Short(ish) LP

[TTC12023]

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 ) 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!! . Baby dust to you all!

@BB2818 unfortunately not 😞
TMI but I checked my cervix last night and there was some blood, a part of me hoped it was implantation bleeding but knew it wasn't! Luckily I didn't get caught out over night (must take positives!) there's not that much but it's enough not to be implantation; so I guess I'm out 😞

Back pain still there so I've either put my back out of the pregnacare tablets have created a new AF symptom!

How are you feeling? I hope the sickness isn't too bad?

@Ttcmumma how are you feeling? Planning the month ahead? 🙈😝

@TTC12023 @Ttcmumma everything crossed that this is you cycle 🤞🏼

Not too bad this morning. Actually slept well too. I was hoping the sickness wasn’t bad enough that I would have to tell work. Last year in 3 weeks I lost just over a stone from sickness and I knew if I didn’t tell them they’d guess anyway.

@TTC12023 trying not to 😅 I don't think I'm going to use opks this month... I may not even temp tbh. Thinking to just have regularish sex, especially from cd11-17 as that should cover anytime that I would ovulate. Just to lower the stress, stop obsessing over peeing on a stick and I also won't know how many dpo I am to start testing super early... It's funny because I have a June child, Gemini like his dad and always joked I want the next to be a pisces like me. Now the time is approaching to have a potential pisces and im just so meh... Cbb lol.

DTd for the first time this cycle last night. Cd6, sat counting if it would last the 5 days for ovulation and clearly not 🤣.

Hope you're ok! Af starting is always a bit depressing x

@BB2818 I hope so, I am in awe of the women that do this month after month and still persevere! It must be soul destroying 😞
Glad you're feeling ok! Did you suffer from HG?

@Ttcmumma I feel like I need to stop as clearly that isn't working for me! Although I'm seriously considering that we're just not DTD enough!! At least tracking keeps me aware of what's going on, although I'm clearly missing the window 😒 I know when I O'd this month, DTD with preseed the day of.... aaannnnndddd still buggar all 😞
DH very upset this morning that AF had appeared as it's about 6 days since the last but we have been unwell this week 🤣 he's not really up for it either (despite what he thinks!)

@TTC12023 @Ttcmumma persevere ladies it will happen. I have everything crossed for you 🤞🏼. Not DTD seemed to work here, I must have ovulated between CD16-18. Only managed CD15 and CD19 close to ovulation.

I don’t think I have morning sickness… it’s either afternoon/evening sickness. Or after I have eaten something that I really wanted to eat sickness 🤦🏼‍♀️.

I did with my daughter. Seemed to ease off around 16 weeks then back in full force around 28 weeks. In and out of hospital on drips.

They wanted to admit me last year, I was that dehydrated that they couldn’t take my bloods. I remember the nurse asking if I had drank plenty of water… “yes but it didn’t stay down.”

Whhhy did I test so early :( why do I do this to myself?

I knew it was going to be negative as i was doing it but I was like oh well I've opened it now I might as well do it.

I know it could definitely turn positive in a few days but I've put myself in a negative mindset like it's now somehow a guarantee that every test this month will be also negative.

@Seraphina1993 the kindest thing I did for myself was not having any tests in the house. I set a date, usually CD29 as this was the end of my average, and not purchase a test until then. Most cycles I haven’t even tested because AF arrived before I got chance. Don’t get my wrong every time AF arrived I would have a little wobble. But I was only feeling down when AF, not for days before. Then before you know it you’re so focused on trying again 🙈

How many dpo are you?

I think 5 or 6 dpo which I know is def too early. With my son I got the faintest of lines at 9dpo so not sure why I did it.

I just had the house to myself when I woke up and I like doing tests on my own for some reason. I think it's because I like to deal with my disappointment without DH hovering lol 😂

I have no idea when AF is going to arrive either which worries me

@Seraphina1993 that’s far too early, be kind to yourself. I don’t know for certain when I ovulated but my test lines were quite faint and I convinced myself they were indents. I think I maybe ovulated later than I thought.

How long are your cycles?

My cycles have been between 28 and 33 days since being off the pill

I'm on cd27 now and I ovulated on either cd21/22 so hoping I have another 33 day cycle at least. if it's 28 I'll be worried :/

I came off my pill Dec 21. Actively started trying March 22. Pregnant by April but ended in early miscarriage.

My cycles have averagely been 27-29 days. With it occasionally being 32/33 days. I was ovulating around CD20 but managed to get it to CD16-20 (based on temperature monitoring). I was taking conceive plus ovulation tablets. However I did stop them this month as ran out. I ovulated CD16-18, I think but my temperature has been all over the place during this cycle 🤪

Oh @Seraphina1993 as @BB2818 says, be kind to yourself, it was too early to test but you know that ❤️
Try not to worry, you're in good company of @Ttcmumma and I if this month isn't yours, we'll be right beside you supporting you as best a couple of strangers on the internet can 🤣❤️

@Ttcmumma are you planning on doing anything different this month aside from stopping tracking? I'm leaning to SMEP but the thought of it alone tires me out, although I suspect DH will be happy 🤣

@BB2818 how's the nausea? How did your blood test go?

@TTC12023 I've actually stopped my pregnacare conception... I feel like when I got pregnant the last 2 times it was easier and I never took vitamins until I knew I was pregnant. I ran out and little ones birthday is soon so tight for money anyway...just that and a relaxed approached really. I don't think my partner would do smep tbh 🤣 he would think it's great but not fulfill it when he gets home too tired etc and then I'd just get angry that it failed haha. So not really aiming for anything other than ensuring we dtd as close to my usual ovulation dates as possible. I'm also now sick so can't temp even if I wanted to 😅

Here for you all ladies. You got this 🙌🏻

@TTC12023 should get my result today. They weren’t in on Friday when I called. The sickness is definitely when I eat something I fancy/ full of flavour. Plain foods for me I think 🙈

@Ttcmumma sounds great! Stopping the pregnacare tablets seems to have worked for @BB2818 !

Seems like a good idea for you to stay away from SMEP if you know what will happen! My DH would love it I have no doubt, it's more likely me to decide I'm too tired 😂
There is definitely something going around, loads of people I know are sick atm!

@BB2818 let us know! Aren't bodies funny, you crave something and then it makes you feel ill 😑

@TTC12023 blood results in HCG slightly raised. Nurse said it can simply be because it was so early. I was only around 14-16dpo when bloods were taken so very likely. But progesterone was apparently quite high at CD29 bloods. Having bloods repeated Wednesday 🙏🏻🤞🏼

@BB2818 great news! I'm so happy for you 🥰 keep us updated!
Finishing AF today so just a cool TWW for O! 🤣

Got AF today :( that means just an 8 day LP

@Seraphina1993 hope you are ok? Is that a normal LP for you? It could be worth requesting bloods to give you a better idea/confirm when you ovulate.

I was taking conceive plus since October (until early in this cycle). Before my LP was 7-11 days but ended up having more 11 day LPs.

How are you @TTC12023 and @Ttcmumma ?

@Seraphina1993 sorry hun, hope you're doing OK? Are you taking any bits like @BB2818 has suggested? Or speak to the doctor?

@BB2818 ok thank you! Just waiting for O which remains a mystery to me 😝 I guess I'm CD9 now so I have another 10 days a least to wait! Going to try and do SMEP without telling DH which should be fun, he doesn't want to talk about 'times' which is incredibly stressful in itself 😵‍💫
He said to me yesterday that he wasn't overly worried as we hadn't been hitting the right times.... I was like.... 😒 yes we have 🤣
How did your blood test go?

Not too bad thanks, thought we were going to miss this fertile window entirely. I'm cd 14 today, I was sick all week and as soon as I felt better my partner's grandad passed away... So definitely hasn't been a dtd environment around here! Managed to dtd once last night so better than nothing I guess.

@TTC12023 surely he won’t object 🙌🏻🤣

@Ttcmumma so sorry for your loss. I hope you are ok? It only takes once 🤞🏼

My bloods multiplied by more than 10. Which is great (in 4 days). Still on the lower end but in range now. Definitely feeling pregnant; sore boobs, back ache, tiredness, sickness. Unintentionally lost half a stone 🤦🏼‍♀️ but more than happy to feel this way if it means everything is progressing 🤞🏼

@BB2818 probably not but it's a lot of planning by yourself 🤣 Glad everything is progressing for you! 🥰

@Ttcmumma sorry for loss ❤️ how your doing ok? Sometimes life gets in the way and it's really shit 😞
