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 🤞

Aw that could be cos it's generally got chillier in the weather... which I'm sooo happy about cos the heat was driving me mad. Not out till AF sings xx

Hotmalibu94 · 17/09/2023 18:04

AF arrived as expected last night. Only a 9 day luteal phase this month 😭

Aww no bless you. It will happen when you least expect it to. I always feel a bit of relief once af shows more so means I can stop constantly diagnosing every niggle.

I've been getting some strong twinges and my boobs are so so so sore, lower back pain and generally feel like I have AF but without AF, I did a silly early test and swear there's actually a hint of a line, it was last night so I ordered more tests and I'm gonna just let the crazy poas addiction take over without bashing myself for it lol I'm 8dpo now and due in about 6 days and my tests are early detection 👀

DarkCrystal85 · 19/09/2023 13:10

It's a bit like a star... if you look directly at it it's not there but when you look away it is. It appeared in the time

My first TWW 🙈
Hotmalibu94 · 24/09/2023 09:30

@DarkCrystal85 sorry I didn't reply I've been away! Did this progress at all? 🥺 keeping my fingers crossed for you!

I'm entering fertile week of cycle 5 and have been taking vit b to try and elongate my luteal phase. So far I've had no bleeding since my period which is good, last two months I had spotting so hopefully it's helping 🤞

OP posts:
DarkCrystal85 · 24/09/2023 12:53

Aww I hope that goes well and keeping my fingers crossed.
I got a few more faint lines but then my dd gave me her horrendous cold from school and my boobs and twinges just stopped hurting on Friday and then yesterday I got AF 3-4 days early, I hoped it was maybe IB but I've woke up today and it's FAR too heavy so I'm wondering if the cold brought it on early. Shame as I actually felt pregnant this cycle and had some positives so I'm wondering if it's so painful due to another CB. Hoping this cycle doesn't push ovulation back too far. Feeling a bit fed up today and still full of cold and aches and pains. Meh

Hotmalibu94 · 04/10/2023 20:13

Hey @DarkCrystal85 , how are you getting on my love. So sorry about your last cycle 😔

OP posts:
DarkCrystal85 · 05/10/2023 12:49

Hi @Hotmalibu94 thankyou for checking in, I'm doing ok, it was a chemical as the bleeding lasted so much longer than normal and the pains were very familiar. I'm day 13 of cycle now and my ovulation hasn't hit peak yet or even started to rise which it usually would by now but we saw donor last night, will see again tomorrow (day 14) and then on Monday (day 17) as it's a busy weekend with a party for my daughters 4th birthday and a lot going on haha. Hoping the sticks do something over next couple of days. I'm ok, I keep telling myself a chemical loss is my bodies way of not letting me go through another 3 month or later loss as it's already decided early on that something isn't right. I'm on vitamin D now as well as higher dose of folic acid so fingers crossed for this next cycle. Might be so much going on with birthdays I totally forget to worry about what's going on and distract my body enough haha.

How are you getting on?
X

Hotmalibu94 · 07/10/2023 07:48

Oh bless you @DarkCrystal85 , I'm sorry about the chemical 😔
Hopefully you'll catch donor at the right times again this month! Sounds like you've got pretty good coverage there.
Hope you have a lovely weekend with your daughter!

I'm good, I didn't have any bleeding between AF and ov this month so that's a good start. Ov was a bit delayed at CD18, didn't quite catch the day but have 2, 4 and 5 days before and day after, so hopefully caught it enough at least. Temps haven't risen as much as they usually do so hoping that my progesterone is more stable and slow burning instead of surfing and running out early 😂 dunno if that's how it works. But currently 4dpo so still have a while to wait.

Hotmalibu94 · 16/10/2023 07:11

Looks like the supplements helped 😭 @DarkCrystal85

How are you getting on this month lovely?

OP posts:
DarkCrystal85 · 16/10/2023 10:53

Omg congratulations 🎉🎉🎉
Looks like the supplements did work 💕

I'm sorry it's been crazy mad here with birthdays and parties and colds and bugs and then I was randomly on the local news cos of my UFO investigator side... Craaaaazy.

How are you feeling?

I'm 6dpo today but darent pee on a stick yet, I've had 4 chemicals since my loss in Feb and I'm so scared now I will try and wait till day 12... I know I will probably be there at day 8 again but trying hard not to haha xx

Hotmalibu94 · 16/10/2023 14:38

@DarkCrystal85 I can't believe it! I'm so happy but now anxious about everything 😂 need to call my doctors! Currently no real symptoms, sore boobs but that happens every month from ov to AF, and last night I felt a bit crampy. Today I'm just stressing 😂 absolutely thrilled but work in a profession where there's so many risks so I've asked for a risk assessment tomorrow.

Oh UFOs sound interesting though, I'd love to know what you were up to 😅
Oh yeah i refused to test until my missed period so I was due on Saturday and tested today! Which is 13dpo. Don't upset yourself testing at 6dpo, not worth it! Hope you can hang on til 12dpo 💕

OP posts:
DarkCrystal85 · 16/10/2023 14:43

I'll give it my best shot to wait till then 🙈
Aw wow I'm so happy for you, and yes I totally get the initial wooo then the omg omg anxiety haha I was terrified when I got my double lines each time but try enjoy these first few weeks before any intense symptoms if you get them x

Well a few weeks ago I took some pics of a pink sky and had no idea what it was, put the pic into community page on FB and then got a message last week from BBC asking if they could use my pic to which I was like yeah that's fine, then after speaking to the woman doing it explained what I do and that I'd been looking through telescope so she decided she needed to actually record me and my scope for the fun piece 😂 all feels very very surreal now haha x

Hotmalibu94 · 16/10/2023 15:22

@DarkCrystal85 fingers crossed for you when you do test 🤞
Omg that's so cool 😂 love that!

Yeah the anxiety is definitely real. Just hope it all goes smoothly 🤞

OP posts:
DarkCrystal85 · 19/10/2023 00:36

I didn't manage to wait till at least 11dpo like I told myself I would 🙈 I tested yesterday bfn and today which isn't a line but it's not not a line... If that makes sense. It's like a shadow 🥴 I thought it was a dud test but next also has a bit of a shadow of a line come up in time, I am 8dpo (well 9 now as gone midnight but...) So I'm gonna just test each evening now lol

Oh I know it is such a happy anxious time, the hard part is done though, it's a relief when the tracking and timing isn't necessary anymore. I am sure everything will be absolutely fine. Are you taking anything? Xx

Pic of random not line line haha

My first TWW 🙈
Hotmalibu94 · 19/10/2023 08:22

@DarkCrystal85 oh its faint but I kinda see what you mean! Eeek fingers crossed for you that it progresses 🤞
I'm taking b50 which has all the b vitamins in and pregnacare so hopefully all covered 😁 very anxious still but trying to go with it 🙌

OP posts:
DarkCrystal85 · 19/10/2023 11:24

Aw I was taking pregnacare with mine and I'm so sure everything will be fine 😁
I'm hoping I'm not far behind you... I did a test this morning and considering it's less than 12 hours since my last test I'm quite happy that there is a faint but more obvious line, with colour and appeared about 30 seconds after doing the test... I haven't edited it but still won't get excited till I see progression. I was told to take 75mg of aspirin when I get a positive so I think I'll start that today, can't do much harm but could probably help if I am. What do you think?

Hotmalibu94 · 19/10/2023 12:22

Oohhhhhhhh that's definitely there!! I can't wait for tomorrow for you to test again now 🤣
Definitely can't harm can it 🤞

OP posts:
DarkCrystal85 · 19/10/2023 12:29

It is hehe. I didn't need to edit this at all. I think until I see some good strong lines I won't get to excited... Or anxious haha. Already looked and due date would be end of June but as before I'd be induced around 4 weeks early so this will be a may baby eeeee. When is yours due? Yes I have 17 tests left and will get 2 of the proper plastic ones to take after officially late, my app says I'm due on in 2 days but I believe it to be more 4 days x hehe

Hotmalibu94 · 19/10/2023 12:34

Going from first day of period I think it's 22nd June, but natural cycles thinks more like 26th :)
Ahhhh exciting! Are you testing again this evening? I forgot you test then too don't you? 😁
Awww may baby 💕

OP posts:
DarkCrystal85 · 19/10/2023 12:44

I usually do just test in the evenings... I decided to try this morning with 2nd pee of the day and wasn't expecting much so I was quite shocked after that, as soon as it went past that line it was there so I sat and watched it and took pic about 3 min mark. I probably wouldn't have tested if last night was stark negative but I knew something was there last night and I can't honestly blame dud tests when they been negative till now and now they getting darker. I will probably test tonight and continue that way cos I'm an addict in usual months but now there's something appearing i am feeling worse haha. I'm just keeping fingers crossed whatever is happening it sticks and stays put until at least 26 weeks when modern medicine can do something... Would hope it to remain until all is well and from 34 weeks onwards. Cos of my spinal issue they didn't want me to get to full term last time and I'm unable to have epidural so natural induction was arranged for 3.5 before due date. This due date would be 29th June so very close to you 😁😁😁 I'll keep you updated and so much luck sent to both of us that everything is smooth and that this baby sticks. I swear I felt it implanting other night and the following morning had the smallest amount of blood when I wiped but that was it so perhaps that was implantation. Ooo I'm off to clean the house while child is at nursery and wife has gone to see her friend. It's been such a busy month I wonder if being poorly and mind being occupied has helped haha. I saw this as I know I'm gonna be anxious as heck and it helped

My first TWW 🙈
Hotmalibu94 · 19/10/2023 14:04

I'm excited for this evening then 😂
I've got my fingers and toes crossed for you! 🤞
I think that definitely helps! I was more relaxed this month and here we are 😂 I think distractions definitely help!
