My first TWW 🙈

Think I'm now in my TWW at 1DPO!
Anyone care to join me? 😁
I'm on 1st cycle TTC DC1 💕 Not done anything to track except apps this time but fairly convinced my Flo app was pretty accurate so 🤞

@DarkCrystal85 you'll have to keep me updated how you get on this month!
I'm on CD10 now, I had a random day of extra bleeding yesterday which was weird - it was brown old blood so hopefully not affected my lining too much, not sure if maybe it was because my period was pretty short at only 3 days this time.
Currently BBTing which is going well, due to ovulate on Thursday so 🤞

Hopefully if you're seeing the donor so often this cycle you'll catch 🤞

Hey @Lemonbell how are you? So sorry about your MC 😣
Just approaching ovulation here I think. EWCM starting and temp hasn't gone up yet (it's due Thursday) so BD last night and Im thinking tonight and tomorrow or tomorrow and the day after.
How are you getting on? So possibly 4-6dpo?

So sorry to hear that @Lemonbell the early losses are a real kicker. I've pretty much had 2 chemical losses in a row, a month of no conception then another chemical loss all in the 4 months of trying after my 12 week loss in Feb. Its just s**t... I hope this month is the one for you.

How is everyone getting on? I'm 9 dpo and did a test though it was bfn, I have some symptoms but have decided that even if I am in the process of conceiving and or from this point on I'm not actually going to let myself get excited until I'm 2 weeks late with a bfp. I'm due on on Sunday which happens to be my babies due date and emotions are all over the place. This ttc game is hella stressful. Hope everyone else is doing alright x

Hey! We covered ovulation days but this cycle just didn't work out and I'm now on cd2. Next time maybe. How are you? 9dpo is early for a test anyway so fingers crossed for you!

Aw bless ya. Onto the next cycle. I always feel a strange upset but mixed relief to get onto next cycle. Yea was too early to test... May be that knowing I buy tests in bulk I don't feel like I'm wasting them as such haha. As I explained a few cycles ago it wasn't till day 13 or so I got my positive last time so I need to take my own advice in not being too disheartened by bfn yet haha. Think it's psychological with the due date approaching day I'm due on it would be kinda nice x fingers crossed this is your cycle x

DarkCrystal85 · 10/09/2023 15:14

How is everyone doing?x

Hey! I'm 4dpo today. Trying not to pay too much attention to things, so far only difference to usual is that I normally get sore nipples pretty quick after ov and they're not particularly sore at the moment. The right boob is starting to feel sore but not the nip 😅 temp is nice and high, higher than last month so onto a strong start.

How are you? How did things go this month with your donor?

My first TWW 🙈

DarkCrystal85 · 10/09/2023 17:03

Ooo that's good to hear, fingers crossed for you. I found that every cycle I thought I was pregnant I was blaming sore boobs as a symptom and then the cycle I caught on my boobs didn't really hurt much like they usually would but then I got to 6 weeks and boom they felt like they were made of concrete haha. Rather frustrating it's the same kind of symptoms for both pms and early pregnancy 🥴
I was unsuccessful last cycle, now day 13 of current cycle and I am pretty sure I've got my peak ovulation test today and feeling so happy it's not cycle day 20 etc like it has been recently, I always used to get peak on day 13 so I'm happy to just have that back to normal. Think it's due to no chemical pregnancy taking place as it has in the last few cycles before knocking the following cycles out of sync. We saw donor on day 11 and will be seeing again tomorrow and then day 16 too with a pencilled in later donation on day 20 depending on my LH sticks. Though I'm pretty confident it's gonna happen in next couple of days judging by this haha. So I shouldn't be far behind you in the dpo 😁

That's what I'm hoping! Just don't understand how my body would react differently literally within a day of conception? So trying not to get too optimistic about it. We will see!

Oh yeah that's a peak for sure! Looks like tomorrow is ov day then so you've covered some good bases with your donation 🤞 you definitely wont be far behind me this month!

I'm sure our bodies like to wind us up 🙈 certain things we would probably not even notice if we weren't ttc but I'm holding out hope for you. I seem to be really chilled in the 2 weeks of knowing I'm not then the ovulation and 2ww happens and I get a bit antsy lol.

Yes I do believe this is it... over the usual ov days I do a test in morning and test at night so will see what occurs but I have a feeling the app will tell me this mornings was peak once I do the next. The last 3 peaks have been between 1.10 and 1.25 so for this to be 1.66 I'm like woah... hope I'm only releasing one egg 😂

I have my fingers crossed for you! I'm kinda the same this month - missed my OPKs but my BBT is higher than last month and also the EWCM and my hormones just seemed craaaazy this month around ov! Couldn't leave DH alone 👀 so hoping it's a good sign 😅

I'm doing much better at relaxing in the TWW this time so far... I had to double check because I couldn't remember if i was 3dpo or 4dpo 😅 let me know how your next OPK goes.

OP posts:
DarkCrystal85 · 10/09/2023 17:44

I will do. Haha poor DH. I'm wondering if the weather can sometimes have something to do with things 🤷 I'm feeling so fed up with the heat atm. Will post about tonight's when I do it. Everything sounds very positive 😁

He seemed on board at the time 😅 who knows! Will be interesting to see how this cycle goes. I have a few more days at work and then I'm off for a bit so we will be testing whilst we're away, just a UK mini break. Hopefully we will have some good news this time!
Yes deffo let us know 😁
Crazy we've been talking since my first cycle and now I'm on the TWW of cycle 4!

I'm also trying to eat healthier, I've started eating oats in the morning and trying to get more fruit and veg in. Want to cut down on sugar but spend three days in the pub garden this weekend so I ended up drinking a lot of coke. Hopefully it doesn't affect things too much though!

OP posts:
DarkCrystal85 · 10/09/2023 20:12

Yes I've been trying to change my diet somewhat... just had vegetable and rice stuffed marrow and to be honest it tasted like water 😂 before my pregnancy last year I'd lost a few stone and was really healthy but about a month after the loss I think I turned to food as my comfort and it's been really hard to shift the weight this time round. I started trying last September so would be nice to happen this cycle in a way.
I hope you enjoy your holiday, sounds daft but should be nicer and a tad bit cooler now it's not going to be up to 30 degrees. Gonna go do a test in a min, just waiting for the 3 year old to fall asleep as as soon as I turn on the bathroom light they seem to think of it as an invitation to stand in the doorway 🙈 x

DarkCrystal85 · 10/09/2023 20:46

Well yes I believe I shall be ovulating tomorrow 😁

DarkCrystal85 · 11/09/2023 14:08

@MixedCouple I am terrible each month I tell myself I'll wait till I'm late but I fail every time haha. Good luck to you

Well @Hotmalibu94 it would appear I am most likely ovulating today and yesterday was most definitely a high peak haha
