2DPO

[Longtobe2023]

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 :)

@Longtobe2023 you're only 8DPO today right? Still probably too early to test positive! I only got the faintest of lines in the evening on 8DPO and pregnancies before that I’ve been negative.

I also don’t have sore boobs either!

And I totally understand how you feel 😞

Despite having a positive test I’m feeling so sad and riddled with anxiety because I’m still lightly bleeding and just feel like I’m going to lose this one again 😞 I really really hope it’s just implantation bleeding but I’m so scared as I’ve had so many chemicals this year 😞

When you you be due your AF @Stephy1024? I am feeling really anxious about it as well as I did test yesterday and I had nothing! But today I am only 9dpo x

@BrwnX not till Thursday but my backs started hurting and I usually get that afew days before I'm due on. It sucks doesn't it. But hopefully in afew days you'll have a BFP.

I have had some really bad cramping and I was spotting on Thursday and Friday. I did expect my AF to come after that horrendous cramping yesterday but nothing. But who knows what's happening with my body after my MC.

Thank you, I hope you do too. Try not to give up hope just yet and definitely test if your AF doesn't show 💗 @Stephy1024 xx

@BrwnX that’s the problem isn’t it, my ordeal from my MMC started in June and didn’t end till 3rd August so no wonder our bodies feel different and almost playing tricks on us. If I don’t get my BFP I really hope that my AF arrives on time then my mind will be at ease about my cycle. The waiting game sucks! X

I'm the same @Longtobe2023 I'm hoping if I don't get my BFP I at least get my AF because then that way I will know my body is regulating in some way again.
I just wish I could switch my brain off at times 🥺 xx

I am so confused to why my ovulation tests are still looking like this after I hit my peak. Yeah they aren't as dark but the last time I ovulated the second line basically disappeared 2/3 days later. Anyone the same?

@BrwnX could be an early pregnancy sign, from what I understand the ovulation strips aren't always sensitive to the difference between hcg and LH though I think you would still expect to get a couple of negatives if you were testing everyday. Also I think it can occur with PCOS - a friend had the same issue and was diagnosed with PCOS (not that I want to cause panic).
Or a dodgy batch of strips??

Fingers crossed it's a positive sign for you!

I did read this about the pregnancy @Knewlife but I don't want to get my hopes built up.
I do have PCOS, battled with it for years but I managed to get my cycles regular and ovulate but I did sadly MC.

As I said in my post, previous cycles my LH levels dropped quickly after my peak day, but it's maybe my body repairing from MC. Who knows I suppose 🥴
CB ovulation tests are giving me the circle, I did however get a static smile on them last week though.

Really wish I could switch my brain off 😂🙈 x

Oh I know - the brain is sometimes our worst enemy especially when you've experienced loss before 🤗. It's so hard. Sending all the positive thoughts

The other thing I've read is that ovulation strips are different from pregnancy tests in the sense that the second line doesn't really mean anything unless it is darker than the control (e.g. the test is positive for ovulation). So a light test line simply indicates a negative test and isn't really valid as any other marker. I tested myself today (approx 8dpo) and the second line is quite a bit darker than the line I got 3dpo but not positive for ovulation if you see what I mean, so maybe is just down to natural variation/urine intensity. I've had a lot of issues with miscarriage etc but definitely don't have PCOS.

Ok so I feel really crampy and periody and went to the loo there, sure I would see blood on wiping as I felt a bit wet, but there was ewcm?! I bought some tests today (didn't take one there now as I was certain I'd see AF) so will test later...I'll be very surprised if I don't come on today though.

Oh actually just reading old threads and apparently ewcm is quite common when your period is starting...who knew

When I was pregnant with DS my ovulation strips went very dark around I think it was 4/5 dpo

Sigh. I should be pleased really, 3 children is a lot to handle and I'm nearly 40 and tired of toddler shenanigans. Still though when there's a chance you get attached to your imaginary baby don't you

Happy Sunday ladies! I think @BrwnX lh surging is a good sign as it detects HCG and mine got darker as I started to get positive tests.

@MeinKraft oh no! Hopefully it’s not over yet, how many DPO are you and how much is the bleeding?

I’m still bleeding. It goes between red to light pink and mainly on wiping. I’ve had an awful weekend thinking I’m going to lose this pregnancy too 🥺

I last did a cheapie Premom yesterday morning 11DPO with the same FMU as my digital test.

I’ve since done another cheapie this afternoon on a 10 minute hold as I’d convinced myself I lost it.

Top test is yesterday morning at 11DPO and bottom is this afternoon at 12DPO.

Can you guys help? Is that a good enough bit darker to show pregnancy is still hopefully there? 🙏

@LacedBouquet your progression looks good to me! I've had a few chemicals and they never got dark on the strip tests and only ever got up to 2-3 weeks on the digis then back down to 1-2 weeks. Sorry it's a shit time waiting and wondering but hopefully it will be all ok for you.

Also I don't know how many dpo I am as I'm not tracking and my cycles veer between 28-32 days but I am CD28 and not bleeding. Think I will be soon though but at least I'll get a chance to try out my new period knickers

@LacedBouquet it's definitely darker and even better that it's only a 10 minute hold.

I'm going to continue testing my ovulation just to keep a record and try hand off to test for pregnancy next Friday when I will be the 14dpo @Knewlife some of it can be very confusing 🙈

Oh really @MeinKraft? I really am trying not to get my hopes built up but we shall wait and see.

Trying to think positive 😂 xx

I've felt so headachey and unwell the past few days - managed not to do a pregnancy test but did do a covid test instead 😂 had to remember not to pee on that! (And be happy to see a negative). I'm kind of regretting not waiting until next cycle to ttc as we're going on holiday next week and I'd love a couple of glasses of wine...

So don't think will be too devastated if AF turns up. I've been pregnant 4 times in the past but only 1 child so I think the fear of MC is worse for me than the stress about getting pregnant. It's all a bit tiresome though when it's not straightforward!!

Good luck in your resolve not to test @BrwnX !!

Sorry to hear about your MC's @Knewlife my biggest fear right now isn't about having another MC it's more about falling pregnant again. The if's and when 😥 xx

10DPO and BFN on a FRER, AF due tomorrow so I'm not confident. I've had no AF cramping & had a slight backache last night & shooting pains in my right breast

7/8dpo here and bfn this morning (and the last few days). Had cramping from maybe 3-6 dpo but it's settled down. Been waking to pee during the night though the last three nights which is bizarre, but apparently is a symptom of progesterone (although I've not had this kind of waking since I was last pregnant). AF not due till the 5th sept, so still hopeful!

Morning everyone, I'm out, AF has arrived with a vengeance! Good luck to you all!
