TWW 3DPO!

[Hanban01]

Hello everyone!

I’m looking for TTC buddies:)

I’m currently 3DPO and TTC baby #2! Anyone is welcome to join or hop along this thread. Please feel free to share your symptoms!

@AFireAtASeaParks lovely to see that 💖

Its starting to sink in a bit more now, but I am feeling soooo exhausted, like I'm struggling to function before 2pm most days, and getting headaches and hot flushes randomly. All new to me so hopefully it's all normal and settles down soon, maybe wishful thinking? Have my first midwife apt booked for next month at 8 weeks, feels like ages away!!

Hopefully everyone is doing okay!?x

Exciting @AFireAtASeaParks hope your scan goes great! X

@GB91 eek first midwife appointment booked! I rang my GP a few days ago and they said someone would get in touch with me to get my first app booked in so I’m just waiting for that! I totally feel you with the exhaustion although I’m the other way around, I wake up at 6am no problem and full of energy until about 2pm, then need a nap! The last 3 days I’ve finished work at 3pm and slept until 5pm, woke up and walked the dog, made tea and then went back to sleep at 8:30pm until 6am again! Xx

@GB91 @Mrsttcno1 I'm so glad it's not just me who is exhausted! I struggle to stay awake past about 5pm, but am waking up super early which is frustrating! We also have lots of work to do in the house, painting and so on, so that's taking up lots of my time... but today is a day off to go shopping... and maybe put my head inside mamas and papas, just for a look!
Happy everyone else is doing well and either appointments booked or it's in motion😁Been trying to figure out as well, if it says 2-3 weeks the midwife would say I was 4-5 weeks, is that right, as they usually count two weeks back? (Even though my last period was 13 June due to an irregular cycle?)

The exhaustion is another level! @Mrsttcno1 I wish I was in that pattern, as it's so hard to work, my brain doesn't really function, then from 2-8 I have energy, then sleepy again! I feel like I will have to tell work sooner than I wanted just because I feel so spaced out of it, like my brain isn't functioning at times!

It's annoying that the processes are different in each area, as I called GP and they put me through to the midwifery dept and it was booked then, I am grateful though, my apt is booked for sept 14th and I fly to Italy on the 15th for a holiday, not ideal timing! Hope you both get your appointments sorted soon!

Oooh @AFireAtASeaParks I'm not sure how it works but I think adding 2 weeks to the clearblue is right, if you ring the gp maybe they would be able to help you,maybe a blood test would bring up more accurate results?

Just got my appointment sorted for 7 September 😁
Will need to leave work early and debating whether I should tell them the real reason! 🤔

@Mrsttcno1 all ok thanks! I've not really had any symptoms (which I'm trying not to over think!) apart from metallic taste, which i don't think I had last time. Every pregnancy is different I guess!
@AFireAtASeaParks lovely to see progression! I'm going to try and avoid testing... will see if it works!

My midwife appointment not until 9.5 weeks! 22nd Sept. Glad I've got early scan booked in between! :)

@AFireAtASeaParks it's hard to know what to do with work, if I keep feeling this tired and brain-dead I'm gonna tell them just before my midwife apt, they should then just be able to give some consideration to any pregnancy related issues so I think I'll feel less pressure if I'm not on top form!

@Pandabumblesnice to have the early scan booked, did you do that with your other pregnancy? Id love to book one but my other half thinks it will be fine to wait till the 12 week one 🤷 I might look into it a bit more!

@GB91 I did get an early scan with DS at 8 weeks, we decided to as I'd had a MMC at 9 weeks before DS and I was so anxious and needed to know if anything was wrong. So we decided to have one again this time as it was reassuring. I found with DS, and same this time, I can't "get in" to the pregnancy this early and feel quite anxious...just have to ride the wave of it and wait for each day to pass!

@Pandabumbles completely understandable! I get what you mean about struggling to 'get in' to it just yet, I am yoyo-ing so much between excitement and nerves! Good idea to get the early scan, I am definitely gonna look more into it as it would feel like a reassurance..12 weeks feels so long away!!x

@GB91 @Pandabumbles Im exactly the same in terms of ‘getting into’ the pregnancy, I daren’t get myself too excited so between the tiredness, rock hard boobs and stomach cramps I’m trying not to think about it - it’s so difficult not to, though!
Like you say @Pandabumbles its taking it a day at a time!

Hi girls, some sad news from me, I started bleeding 10 days after my BFP and have had a late chemical/early MC this week. Have been feeling quite sad about it but trying to move forward. We're planning to get straight back to TTC this cycle, so hoping ovulation isn't too delayed and it's true what they say about being more fertile after a loss. Hoping it's just bad luck and we'll have more success next time. Wishing you ladies with BFPs safe and healthy pregnancies xx

So so sorry to hear that @Pandabumbles and fingers crossed for you in your ttc journey! ❤️

I’m so sorry @Pandabumbles , sending you so much love ❤️ Wishing you all the best on your next ttc cycle xx

@Pandabumbles I'm so sorry to read. Sending you lots of love

After my positive digital last week I've been continuing to test to see the line progression. However, it's still very faint and I don't see much progression.
Does anyone have any good news stories of similar situations, or is it not looking good?

Thanks @AFireAtASeaParks @Mrsttcno1 @JC084 thanks ❤

@JC084 is that with FMU? What brand are they? Some internet cheapy ones can stay faint I think. Could you try with another brand to see if you get a darker line?

@Pandabumbles so sorry to hear about that. Sending you love and strength and hope next cycle it works out for you xx

@Pandabumbles I've started bleeding this evening so it's not looking like good news.
Gutted to say the least after the highs of the last week. Hope you're doing ok

@JC084 oh I'm so sorry to hear that. It's so horrible. Be kind to yourself and take it easy if you can. xx
