How's everyone today? Dpo 5 for me and my tiredness is gone but that seems also quite usual for me, so basically nothing happening. I'm not doing any tests so just waiting for the weekend to begin so I can keep busy at all times with my toddler.

@HelloMoon87 me too, I’m 3DPO and I’ve dried up too now. So unsure what it means but yes no CM for me! I really want the TWW to be over, I want to know hahah

GinAndBearIt90 · 03/08/2023 19:54

13 DPO today, AF due tomorrow or the day after! Nearing the end of our holiday now. I've no bloating or anything so I'm sure AF will be showing up. Hoping the apps are correct with my cycle this month as I used OPKs to see what was going on!

longingtobe23 · 03/08/2023 20:29

Hi alll 5dpo here as well away with family so havent symptom spotted at all! Nor have I rested or ate healthy like I normally do in TWW it’s actually been bliss not thinking too deeply about it!

of course when I’m home at the weekend it’ll come flooding back - I’ll start cheapies likely from 10-11DPO 🤡

missmae · 03/08/2023 20:36

@BlossomTree123 thought it would be way too early tho who knows! 5dpo today and just very tired. Since creamy cm whereas last month I dried up around 5dpo.

@longingtobe23 same! With family, haven’t thought about it at all, just relaxing and keeping busy. It’s going quicker doing it this way too!

BlossomTree123 · 03/08/2023 21:01

So I have stabbing pains in my left side, so unsure what that is…

@missmae yes im 2 days behind you so hopefully we get out positives

LacedBouquet · 04/08/2023 08:12

Morning ladies! I’m 11-12DPO and I started bleeding on Tuesday, tested negative and thought I was out but as the bleeding wasn’t the same as normal I decided to test again and now have a faint line. Eek! Don’t think I can get excited though until the bleeding completely stops (it’s light now) and the line gets darker still.

I had this with my last early loss, but lost it sadly a few weeks after the initial bleed, drs think unrelated though.

I think I get decidual bleeding which is where the other side of your uterus sheds to where the embryo is implanted and resembles your normal period and is caused by a hormone imbalance (in my case I had Nexaplon for 11 years and got it out in feb). It isn’t harmful to mother or baby as long as it’s only one side that’s shed. Hoping this little bean can stick 🙏 BD to you all xx

CurlyWurly1991 · 04/08/2023 08:19

@LacedBouquet ahh congratulations !! Hope that all goes well for you.
interesting about decidual bleeding. I bled with what seemed a light period from 9dpo with my first baby. All was well. Take care x

LacedBouquet · 04/08/2023 09:34

@CurlyWurly1991 Aww thank you so much for sharing that with me, that makes me feel much better. I love hearing stories of other women who also bled but had healthy pregnancies 😊 it’s almost stopped so that’s just over 3 days which really isn’t too bad at all.

And thanks hopefully I’ll be back with news that I get a BFP in a few days 🥰 x

BlossomTree123 · 04/08/2023 09:41

@LacedBouquet congrats!!! Hope your pregnancy goes well!!!

HelloMoon87 · 04/08/2023 11:17

@LacedBouquet I also had light bleeding with my son. So worrying but all was good thankfully. Good luck and hope you get the good news soon. If you're worried, you can also ask your Dr to do some HCG tests to check if it is ok.

6dpo today, just so tired! Fell asleep on the sofa last night around 9pm. And I’m tired again already wanting to nap! But today I am freezing cold, it’s just me as everyone else is warm. I’ve had to put layers of clothing on and I’m still cold, hands and feet are freezing, very strange!

LacedBouquet · 04/08/2023 15:10

That's so reassuring @HelloMoon87 thanks for this! :)
Went to my fertility acupuncture appointment today and she was happy about the progress of my faint lines and thought my bleeding is too light to be a proper period so I'm definitely feeling a little better. Won't be able to breathe though until I get that BFP, hopefully by Monday x

cosymama2020 · 04/08/2023 15:56

I’m currently on day 4 of flashing smileys on CB ov test… so frustrating!

GinAndBearIt90 · 04/08/2023 16:06

No AF yet here today, will see if it shows tomorrow!

HelloMoon87 · 04/08/2023 16:25

Hi everyone! Hope we are having a nice Friday?

I'm also dpo 6 today, hope cycle buddies are doing well? @missmae @longingtobe23who else is dpo 6 or thereabouts?

I have bubbling and bloatedness in the stomach this afternoon but I have been eating more so maybe just that. Dpo 6 is still too early for symptoms unfortunately, still lots of time. Patience will start wearing thin next week, but hope we can relax this weekend 💚

OP posts:
BlossomTree123 · 04/08/2023 17:18

I am 4DPO today so a really strange symptom I have had (sorry TMI) slightly looser stools, not sure if it’s an implantation thing (trying to be hopeful) but maybe it’s something I’ve ate ahaha!

SnookyPook · 04/08/2023 17:54

@LacedBouquet congrats and really hope that all keeps progressing well for you! 10doo here so not long to wait now!! 😬 Not many signs and symptoms at all... Bit of cramping and a significant lack of pms compared to my last couple of cycles but really nothing definitive. Will just have to wait and see if AF appears next week or not! I am feeling remarkably calm and upbeat this cycle though which is nice whatever happens!

Good luck to everyone!

longingtobe23 · 04/08/2023 19:25

@HelloMoon87 yesss 6dpo hope you’re going well!! I’m okay today, but got a sore throat I caught off my friends little one who came away with us, one by one we caught the cold 😅 which is a bummer but home now and waiting out the weekend to test!

I did get sharp nipple pain the the wind today! Noting it as I only got that with my son but it is obviously unusually cold for august! Where’s the sun!?!

missmae · 04/08/2023 20:06

@HelloMoon87 doing well and have had a lovely Friday! It’s been better not obsessing about this TWW. Just so tired!

justkeepswimming2701 · 04/08/2023 22:05

Hi - can I join too? I’m TTC #2: this is my fifth cycle and I’m 1dpo today (I think as clear blue ovulation got my peak on Wednesday). It took six cycles to get pregnant with my first and I was hoping it’d be quicker this time. The TWW is hard and every cycle seems a whole repetitive system of waiting for period, waiting to ovulate, waiting to test…

Hoping chatting on here will help pass the TWW quicker/give my husband a break of me wondering aloud/overthinking every slight twinge 😂

SnookyPook · 04/08/2023 23:35

Welcome @justkeepswimming2701 ! More than happy to chat mindlessly about the tww etc and while away the time! 😄

LacedBouquet · 05/08/2023 14:24

Hey guys just updating you to say I had stopped bleeding, experienced cramps and started bleeding again and sure enough the line was much fainter this morning. So I think another chemical.

I’m trying to look at positives in that I can now go to my gp and get referred for multiple losses!

I also booked a remote NOVA Fertility appt because they can prescribe progesterone privately and I honestly think this is my main issue so fingers crossed for next cycle.

Next cycle my due date would be on my 30th birthday in May, what a fabulous birthday present a baby would be 🙏💕

SnookyPook · 05/08/2023 15:28

@LacedBouquet so sorry to hear that lovely but I'm glad you're able to find some positives to focus on. Sending hugs xx

HelloMoon87 · 05/08/2023 18:32

Sorry @LacedBouquet . My doctor said progesterone can be a bit of a double edged sword, hope it works for you
