Help me stay sane on my TTW

[HappyMomma123]

Anyone else 6-7 DPO and testing already? 👀 I only have 1 tube remaining after an ectopic pregnancy and removal. 1st month TTC, I have 3 children my youngest being just turned 3 and I am 33yrs old now so babyno4 be the final piece of the jigsaw for us. God willing. 🙏🏻

Try & hold out (trust me I know how hard it is) 3-4 more days@HappyMomma123 to save yourself the crushing disappointment of seeing a bfn that purely could be too early to show positive.

Bless you, thank you ❤️. I am sending God my gratitude for your baby too 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽.

Sending positive thoughts, isn't it crazy how the days feel so much longer!

I am feeling twinges on my right and have had a tiny bit of spotting and feel a bit sick with sore boobs. As my right side is where my remaining fallopian tube is, I am terrified I might have another ectopic. Do twinges on one side usually mean this? I don't know if I need to wait for a positive test before I see about the doctors.

@Junebughustle heyyyy, I get pinching everything month with sharp pains. Think it’s ovulation pinching. Stay positive, do some testing and then go from there.
i am really low mood today. I am gonna hold off testing for another 2 days x and see where I’m at then xx
this wait is just full of anxiety for me.

xx

@Skizii yeah. I’m gonna hold off. Although I just have a feeling it’s not my month xxx

@Junebughustle I get pinching too - mine feels like burning almost, like someone is holding a lighter to that spot. I’ve been told it could be a cyst (completely harmless) & from the release of the egg (the corpus lutem).

It could also be a sign that progesterone is being produce which increases early pregnancy as I’ve had it with most pregnancies (with the ectopic it was on the opposite side) so try not to worry it’s something bad (easier said than done).

It’s so annoying that a lot of the symptoms in the luteal phase are hormone related & are the same whether pregnant or not isn’t it.

Last month when I defo was not pregnant I had loads of symptoms I would normally have attributed to possibly being pregnant & had to remind myself that I didn’t let hubby near me for a good while around my time of ovulation & so could not be pregnant 😹

And yes, the doctors / EPU won’t see you unless you have a positive test largely because there is nothing to see until your levels reach a certain point (over 1000 I think).

Also I’ve been told categorically by the EPU that you can’t be having an ectopic with a negative pregnancy test although I’m sure at least two of mine took 6+ weeks to register on an early detection hpt 🤷🏽‍♀️

@Junebughustle how many dpo are you? (Sorry if you’ve already said)

@HappyMomma123 sorry your not feeling good, the poas game is really shite isn’t it. I defo think you’ll feel better taking a break from testing - can you plan something nice (something small but a little out of the ordinary) to do in the next couple of days to take your mind off things for a few days?

Also remember God can do anything & His timing is sovereign. If (big if) it’s not this month I’m sure it will happen soon in any case 🙏🏽.

May God grant you the peace only He can bring xx

@Skizii i think it’s because I have never had a late positive, I say late but u have always had a BFP around 9-10 DPO so yesterday and today would is shown something similar to what yours did. I think I’ll count my blessings for this month and just wait for AF. I don’t know anyone who has had BFP like I have and then had a late one with an another pregnancy. I have woke up with cramps and an anxious feeling. Xxx i have a little stress arm though with work and mortgage etc so maybe that could be playing a part? 🤔 who know xxx thankful I have this thread atm it’s keeping me in good spirits albeit I am in a somber mood xxx

@Skizii I think I'm 12 or so dpo but I've just had more blood than counts as spotting today and some symptoms I had (very sore boobs to the point of being nauseous) have gone now so I think either it was never happening this cycle or is chemical. On to the next one!

My heart is going out to everyone in this thread enduring this horrible waiting game x

Hi ladies! I’ve been suffering this TWW with you all too! Congrats on the BFPs already!

I’ve been super confused the last few days. On Saturday I was 8dpo, had cramping and small amount of pink coloured discharge in the evening. Sunday (9dpo) cramping continued and pink coloured discharge- only when wiping and not every time I went to loo. Nothing Monday morning (10dpo) but had some light brown discharge in the middle of the day then nothing. Yesterday (11dpo) had a small amount of pink discharge on wiping mid morning and then nothing again. Nothing today.
Throughout all this have been quite crampy and had what I like to call ‘fanny daggers’ but still no BFP. Feel so deflated, confused and want to give up but at the same time can’t helping constantly POAS 😂🙈

@Whisperdoodle1 @Junebughustle
honestly we all sound insane haha and I love it. We are not alone. This thread gives me so much hope and I look forward to hearing all your stories and symptoms. Praying we get our BFP soon. I now have sensitive teeth weirdly came on me all of a sudden whilst out shopping anyone had this. Hahaha xxx

@Junebughustle haha I think this whole journey has definitely sent me a bit off my rocker lol. Not heard of the sensitive teeth think but hope for you it's just one of those random changes that not many people notice 🤞🏻🤞🏻

Hello, can I join? I turned 40 Earlier this year and have 3 beautiful babies- almost 7, 4.5 and 20 months. DH and I decided on one more despite saying DD would be our last!!

I had a MC at 5w a month ago (my first MC) but decided to try straight away and not lose time (doesn't help that DH deploys on Monday for 6 weeks!)

I tracked ovulation with OPK for first time (my cycle usually pretty long and irregular, but never had issues conceiving before)

So believe today is 6DPO. I got loads of spots on chin on Sunday (unusual for me!), feel so vaguely nauseous I think it's probably all in my head, and have been pretty windy last couple of nights but that's about it. I did a cheapie test today knowing there was no point so no surprise for a BFN!

ok i need help i took 2 tests this morning didn’t see anything in 3 mins window. Went to work and come back and checked them x I know I shouldn’t have xx but look!!!! I am 9/10dpo I think. Can’t be sure didn’t track ovulation. Just had sex on all fertile days cxx

Took a digital and says not pregnant. 🤔

9/10 DPO is tad early and they could be evap lines tbf. I'd suggest testing first thing in morning over next couple days to see if anything pops up.

Honestly i don't trust clearblue tests at all, ive had horrific evaps on them.
After nothing yesterday and nothing this morning when i got up by the time I got to work I was bleeding heavily and have had awful cramps today so I'm guessing AF arrived (due tomorrow) I'm gutted and also confused as all that spotting had me convinced this was our month. I've never had anything like it before! I'm not sure I have the energy/ mental resilience to keep trying. Had a chemical in August and never had issues like this with my last two (admittedly I am much older)

Have my fingers crossed for everyone else though xxx

Yeah I took 2 more cheapies as nothing on them. I think AF is ready to come and show her head with the cramps anyway.
I pray we all get ours soon. 🙏🏻 it’s awful this wait … and the uncertainty xxx

Hi ladies!!

Sorry for the radio silence - it has been a loooong week.

So after getting my bfp on what I thought was 11dpo (07-11) I’m still only getting faint positives as of this morning.

They are getting darker but my oh my they are taking their sweet time & in the beginning I wasn’t sure they were progressing at all 😫🙈.

I manually changed my ovulation date to Friday 27-10 on my app because that’s when I thought I ovulated but the app that’s connected to my thermometer has ovulation 2 days later on Sunday 29-10 🤷🏽‍♀️.

To add to the confusion I had what I believe to be implantation bleeding last night (peachy / pinky when I wipe, wet to a dusty pink then tailed off & is now a brown discharge when I wipe this morning).

I’ve had mild period type cramps on & off all week but not yesterday & last night I had a lingering migraine which I’ve woken up with today (normally tell tale sign of pregnancy for me).

So all in all I don’t really know what is happening 🤪 but I’m choosing to keep my faith & hopes high, praying, believing & being utterly grateful that there is a healthy baby growing nicely in my uterus & what will be will be anyway, after all His will be done 🙏🏽.

Praying for lots & lots of baby dust for all of us 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽.

How is everyone else doing? What’s the latest?
