Hi everyone!! Currently on the dreaded TWW and could do with some company to stop me obsessing ha!

I feel like this month I’m in with a chance since my MMC in June! I’ve noticed lots of watery CM over the weekend, along with pain in my left boob and then positive OPK followed by a large spike in temp so fingers crossed my ovulation is back on track!

I would love to hear about others symptoms around implantation up till your BFP :)

Hey
I am currently around 2DPO, had the usual ovulating CM over the weekend just gone so DTD Sat and Sun, now just a waiting game!
I get decent implantation bleeds so I'm on the look out for that around 9-10dpo!!
We can suffer the wait together lol

CoffeePlease89 · 21/08/2023 20:41

Also sorry to hear about your MMC! Fingers crossed for you this month

Longtobe2023 · 21/08/2023 20:43

@CoffeePlease89 i never experienced implantation bleeding last time, I just experienced very sore big boobs till 5 days after my period when I tested (this wasn’t planned so a complete shock) then it was just bloated, heartburn & gagging a lot.

because we never intended on falling pregnant I never noticed ovulation or cramps but I’ve had cramps 2 days prior to ovulation this time and also it’s still on and off till now (not painful in the slightest, just odd)

let’s keep our fingers crossed!

Hey ladies! I’ll join, I’m 6DPO today! Sorry to hear about your MMC OP!
I’m on ttc cycle 4 with chemical pregnancies on cycle 1 and cycle 3. This is my first cycle with progesterone suppositories so my tender breast symptoms are definitely due to that. I normally get cramps 5/6DPO but haven’t had any this cycle so not sure if that means I’m out this month.
BD to you all ✨

CoffeePlease89 · 21/08/2023 21:07

@Longtobe2023 that's weird how you've been cramping, perhaps there is more than one egg being released this month 😉
I've been nauseous on and off all day, so think ovulation is just coming to an end perhaps or I'm going down with a bug! Feel fine though.

@LacedBouquet hey, sorry to hear about your chemicals, I have never experienced one, but my first pregnancy 8 years ago ended in miscarriage at 7 weeks.
Hopefully the non cramping doesn't mean you're out this month, keep positive 🙂.

Girls I'm awful for saying I'm not going to obsess, this was going to be a "casual" if it happens it happens thing, but here I am on Mumsnet Conception forums looking at all the positive lines and reading through LOL. Every little twinge I'm like oo is something happening?!
Ugh, I'm terrible!!

Longtobe2023 · 21/08/2023 21:08

Hi @LacedBouquet sorry to hear about your recent CPs! It’s awful when you want something so bad and get a glimmer of hope for it to be taken away isn’t it. Itl be nice going through this TWW and hearing how your all getting on, it’s nice to know we’re not alone :)

OP posts:
Longtobe2023 · 21/08/2023 21:12

@CoffeePlease89 it’s a strange one but like you say we obsess don’t we lol I’ve read ALOT of women have cramps post ovulation so I’m not worrying too much, yet!

im constantly touching my boobs because they was the first give away but then again not all pregnancies are the same so I could drive myself crazy doing it 😂

At least we can all obsess together ay lol

Stephy1024 · 21/08/2023 21:26

@Longtobe2023 same here, im currently 4 dpo. Just counting down the days till I can test. I also had a mmc in April and it took till last month for my cycle to be back to normal.

@CoffeePlease89 im the same. We're of the mind set if it happens it happens. But im doing the same thing you are lol.

It's nice to have people on the same boat. Good luck to all.

ReginaPhalange12 · 21/08/2023 21:35

Sorry to hear about your MMC @Longtobe2023 hoping this is your month. The TWW feels so long doesn't it. Will you be waiting until AF arrives to test or will you be doing it earlier?

I am 3DPO today but don't think I'm in with much of a chance because I ovulated 3 days early & only managed to DTD once.

Longtobe2023 · 22/08/2023 07:17

@ReginaPhalange12 will I eck! I know what I’m like and I have no doubt I’ll be testing daily haha! I still have 5 pregnancy tests in the draw from after my last pregnancy so I’ll be using them no doubt 😂

@Stephy1024 it’s an awful time to go through, mine took 10 weeks from finding out to the rest of the retained product passing, x1 surgery followed by x1 medical! I only had my follow up scan Sunday and she said I had follicles on my ovaries to suggest mid cycle which was reassuring because I had that weekend down as ovulation :)

Longtobe2023 · 22/08/2023 07:29

@ReginaPhalange12 also don’t count yourself out too soon! Anything can happen 🤞🏼

Hi guys, I'm 1dpo today, ok if I join yous? :) I'm not gonna test until the weekend of 2nd sept. I'm not doing bbt this month but got a strong positive OPK on Sunday morning :)

If it doesn't work this month (although I'm feeling hopeful for some reason), we're doing medicated IUI next month, would be fantastic if it worked this month ☺️

Longtobe2023 · 22/08/2023 08:37

@mushroomushroom welcome to the very long TWW with us all! I’ll be keeping my fingers crossed this is your month.

3DPO for me today and still having light pulling sensations in my lower abdomen so haven’t a clue what’s going on yet, only time will tell but I’m also very hopeful this month.

OP posts:
ReginaPhalange12 · 22/08/2023 09:31

@Longtobe2023 😂 I'm the same, it's just so tempting! I think I'm going to test Sunday with a FRER, I'll be 9DPO then.

Longtobe2023 · 22/08/2023 09:50

@ReginaPhalange12 ill only be 8dpo Sunday and I can guarantee I’ll be testing too lol I’m waiting for a call back from the doctors too, I’m going to ask for the progesterone test for 7dpo to see if I actually ovulated. The lady doing my scan advised it because I’ve not been on any contraception for 4 years and only fell pregnant in May this year where I had my MMC so some insight into my ovulation will be nice :)

deliwoman1 · 22/08/2023 09:52

Morning all! Thanks for the thread, @Longtobe2023 and sorry to hear of your MMC. Wishing you and everyone here good luck for this month!

I'm 3DPO today. We DTD up to and on ovulation day, but not the day after, which I feel was maybe a bit daft of us as we had the opportunity. Oh well!

I was feeling much more relaxed and que sera about DTD this month. Our DD is having a bit of a hard time with tantrums atm, so I'm probably just scared of adding a second to the current chaos!

LacedBouquet · 22/08/2023 09:59

Morning ladies! Ooohh alll your symptoms sound exciting- it’s such an exciting/ nerve-wracking time in the TWW!
I’m 7DPO today, eek! Only thing so far was this morning I woke up with a headache and a taste of blood in my mouth, very random! Still no real cramping, perhaps a slight twinge here and there but I don’t know how much of this is down to my progesterone suppositories. I normally start testing 9DPO but don’t know what to do this cycle.

MeinKraft · 22/08/2023 11:34

Hello, can I join? I'm on CD 23 of a usually 28 day cycle but it's not uncommon at all for AF to be late for a few days. We aren't really trying but there was an incident last week 🫣 I'll be happy either way.
No symptoms really except that my boobs would usually be very sore by now and they aren't. Also I am extremely thirsty.

CoffeePlease89 · 22/08/2023 16:37

Hey all, hope we're all okay, another day nearly done. I was at work today so I was distracted from the thought of "I'm in the TWW could I be?!" thoughts.

So I am only 3 or 4 DPO and had some sharp pains in the right side of my womb which I don't usually get, so not sure I'd that could mean anything. Probably not but you never know lol!

Hope our symptom spotting amounts to something !!!

Longtobe2023 · 22/08/2023 16:42

welcome @deliwoman1 we seem to be exactly the same on DPO and DTD times so hopefully we get some luck our way! I can imagine sometimes you think blumming eck the little one is driving me insane am I really thinking of another but I’m sure once you see that BFP you will be delighted 💕

oooooh @LacedBouquet half way through the TWW! I’d be itching to test at your stage even though I know it’s too early lol I have also heard the metallic taste in your mouth is a very good sign for BFP so I’ll keep my fingers crossed for you!

hi @MeinKraft have you thought about when you might test to check?

OP posts:
ReginaPhalange12 · 22/08/2023 17:08

@LacedBouquet ooh a taste of blood / metallic is supposedly a symptom. When are you testing?

@Longtobe2023 I don't know why we do it to ourselves, we know it's probably too early but the itch is there 😂 hope all goes well at your Drs appointment.

LacedBouquet · 22/08/2023 17:21

@Longtobe2023 @ReginaPhalange12 I know I'm like oooohhhh but testing will be a definite BFN at this stage! I've had a bit of 'hunger nausea' late morning and cramps now in my lower right side with a little back ache so these 'symptoms' are ramping up. Whether it's just PMS, the progesterone suppositories or maybe just maybe pregnancy who knows.
Gosh I would absolutely loooovvveeee that BFP!

Looking forward to seeing all your symptoms in the days to come <3

HollyBrwn · 22/08/2023 18:05

Hi, jumping on this thread. I am currently 4dpo, mind is in total over drive! 😂🤯

I was just wondering if anyone has ever had thrush as a symptom? Sorry for tmi 🙈

CatiaR · 22/08/2023 18:11

Hi all! TTC #1 cycle 2

I thought I was already half through the TWW as i had a smaller peak ish last week but turns out that wasn’t it and I actually picked up my peak yesterday evening and ovulating today instead so back to the start if TWW we go! Was caught off guard so only managed to BD yesterday and this morning so hoping I can convince DH to go for another round tomorrow but since he’s going away tomorrow all day he may not be up for it in the morning so was thinking that might as well try tonight if can’t tomorrow.

1DPO again tomorrow! Hoping I can catch the eggy this time. Last cycle my iphone health app was totally off so had no chance so this cycle is a proper attempt.

fingers crossed for everyone 🤞

Longtobe2023 · 22/08/2023 18:13

@LacedBouquet I’m just constantly racking my brain because of this dull pulling in my abdomen, why do we let ever niggle get into our head ha! I’m now like ooooh well this is different CM to yesterday, even though it’s probably like this every month.

I can’t wait to hear all your different symptoms your feeling daily on the run up to testing, I find so much joy hearing others get their BFP!

welcome @HollyBrwn and the wait is in dog years for sure haha! I’ve never experienced thrush but I’m guessing it can be common as they say to speak with your GP if you get it whilst pregnant.
