TTC May 2023 💖✨ previous MC March 2023

[Freddie15VES]

Hi ladies

I thought I’d create this thread if anyone wants to jump on.

I have a little boy who was 2 in April 💖

we decided in March to start trying for baby #2 and we were delighted to get pregnant that same month! Unfortunately we lost the baby at the end of April at 6w 4d

The MC is completed and I have taken an OPK this morning which looks to be really high. Not quite peak but definitely high which is just great that I’m ovulating again! I didn’t know what would happen. We both feel ready to try again this month so will be going for it.

Whether you’re TTC baby #1 #2 #3 etc you’re welcome to jump on ❤️❤️❤️

Good luck today @Strawb28 keeping everything crossed for you

@Strawb28 thinking of you today 🥰 sending loads of positivity your way xx

@SnookyPook glad to hear the tww hadn't turned you! I'm hoping I take the same approach with this cycle x

@Hankthehonk I've got a feeling we will see some BFP too 🎉 great to hear your starting to feel Abit less anxious it's gone so quick already you'll be able to relax a lot more after your scan xx

@SnookyPook That's such a great way to be, love the positivity but also the relaxed approach. Will you hold off testing till late?
@Hankthehonk Aww that's great that you're so far along. And that symptoms are so strong! We're probably in the minority of threads where we're actually praying for a bit of nausea etc after our earlier losses. Hope the 12 week scan flies in 🤞😊

Thank you so much @Hankthehonk and @Jadeypie the nerves are well and truly here!! Scan not until 3.45pm so will update you all then xx

@Hankthehonk great to see ur doing well, I’d my scan yesterday, 11 +5 and doing back flips 😂 I’m really trying to process that it’s real now and stop worrying so much, it’s hard though, I question every little twinge. Keeping everything crossed for ur scan next week 🤞🏽❤️

great to see a few in the TWW, I’ve a good feeling for some BFPs too 🤞🏽🤞🏽🥰

Awww @DmcinT that must have been an amazing experience! 🥹 You must be so excited now! I can't wait to get my BFP and get to that stage 🙏

Woke up in a right negative Nancy mood this morning but I'm trying to be more like you @SnookyPook and think of positive things but it's so hard 😑 I will drag myself out of it eventually 🙈

Sorry to hear that @Westy22 Is the weather shit where you are? I'm fine that really doesn't help. Under normal circumstances it definitely affects me but even more so going through this frustrating journey 😣 On a positive note you're nearly halfway through tww so fingers crossed you notice something soon 🤞In the meantime it's ok for us all to have negative "Nelly" where I come from 😂 days! Mind yourself x

Oh girls I've just gotten out and I've a perfect 6 week little baby with a beating heart!! I am over the moon.

@Strawb28 Congratulations that's amazing news!! 👏 you must be feeling such relief

Oh @Strawb28 I’m so delighted for u, there is nothing like the relief of hearing all is ok❤️❤️

@Westy22 im sorry ur having an off day, allow urself to feel it, we all have them and parts of this journey are just so overwhelmingly shit it’s impossible to not feel down at times. Remember tomorr is a new day and the next week is filled with hope ❤️ Sending lots of love x

@DmcinT just saw your update that's fantastic your scan went so well! I think I'll be 11+5 for mine next Friday too but let's see what officially measuring at. Is your due date the same as what you calculated?
Congrats on passing that big 12 week scan milestone 👏

@Strawb28 wonderful news! So great to hear!

@DmcinT lovely news for you too! And @Hankthehonk I'm glad you're starting to relax into it a little. That big milestone of the scan will soon be here and then hopefully you can relax into it even more!

@Sez281 yeah I'll wait until AF due, so another week to go! Definitely a few symptoms that could indicate something but could equally be nothing so 🤷🏼‍♀️ Still managing to feel pretty calm and hopeful so far which is nice.

@Westy22 sending hugs. I had a storm of a tww last cycle and absolutely get feeling like a negative Nancy. Just ride it out. We'll get there! ❤️

Aww @Strawb28 I'm so happy for you that's amazing news🥹🥰

Made up for you @Strawb28 ❤️

Feeling a bit better today 🤣 7dpo and telling myself I'll know either way in a few days. Not feeling much in terms of signs but maybe that's a good thing 🤣 only difference this cycle is a keep going really hot but I've read that can just be hormonal fluctuations xxx

Thank you so much everyone. On cloud 9! Eeeeekkk @Westy22 so exciting!! The only difference I noticed on my month with BFP was the wipe of pink on 8DPO which was accompanied by some cramps! Nothing before that at all! X

How's everyone getting on?

8dpo and not much going on, tingly boobs all day everyday is doing my head in but feel like this may be a new pms thing for me. Bit of clear CM but can't even remember if that was a thing last month 😑 not much longer I guess xx

@Westy22 10dpo here... Not sure what to think. Bit crampy at times and no raging pms like last couple of cycles but no clear signs and also lacking things I experienced with my previous pregnancies (e.g. noticeably more gassy, creamy CM...). All in all, no bloody clue. Currently going on the old 'every pregnancy is different' and wondering but also not getting my hopes up too high. Saying that, I know I'll be pretty gutted if AF appears! 🤷🏼‍♀️

Ah not much longer to wait @SnookyPook have you done any sneaky testing lol I've purposely got no early detection tests at home as self control lol ive been comparing to my previous pregnancy and looking at it my nipples didn't start burning until 2 weeks after the date i think i conceived, so potentially I had no early indications but tbh I wasn't paying any attention either. Keep telling myself this is really only my first cycle since MC so probably need to give myself a chance to get started...but like you I'll be a bit gutted if AF arrives x

@Westy22 what day are you thinking of testing? Do you reckon you'll last the weekend? 😂 @SnookyPook if I dont have raging pms emotions this cycle I'd definitely be taking it as a sign as it's been so bad the last few months! Fingers crossed for you both girls🤞, I'm about a week or so behind and no symptoms (apart from really bad cramping but I've been having that for weeks now so I can't use that as an indicator at all this cycle)

@Westy22 no, I don't early test as I know seeing possible shadows of lines would drive me insane. Also, after the loss I want as little time as possible to be precarious and anxiety inducing. If I could wait to test until 9wks I might consider it 😂 So, I will await AF. She's like clockwork usually so it's fairly conclusive!

I may use some cheap sticks just to satisfy the testing urge but there not early ones so it's pointless 🤣 @Sez281 I can't even pretend I'm calm about it though 🙈

I get you @SnookyPook makes sense, as a positive test just triggers a whole new wave of worry x wishing you luck though

10 dpo and going insaneee 🤣 had some cramping last night and few twinges today so feel like AF is on route. Flo has me due on tomorrow and prenom says Thursday, stupidly tested last night on a cheap strip (not an early detection one think it measures a level of 20 mIU) just to stop the urge for a bit and I think I manifested a shadow 🙈🤣 I think it was wishful thinking and I'm going to wait another day or so and see what AF does x I don't know how much more testing I can handle tho tbh, may try to go into a new month not testing anything and just use previous history as a kind of guide x

@Westy22 it is so so tough I think I took atleast 2 or 3 tests every month and that was the absolute minimum 🙈🙈 poas addict here!

I don't know how you tww ladies have the willpower not to test! I've had bfp at 9 and 10 dpo so I was all in with the boots early tests every month.
Admire your commitment and rooting for this to be your month @SnookyPook @Westy22 @Sez281 and anyone else waiting
