1dpo - Anyone want to join during the two week wait?

Hi all, currently 1dpo. Hoping for a lucky month. I lost my twin boys a few months ago at 29 weeks due to TTTS. Two days before this I had a beautiful scan and two perfect babies - only 6 weeks away from c-section. And two days after my scan - our world fell apart. I had no movement and all of a sudden, I was told one of my babies had no heartbeat and then four days later, we had to remove life support from his twin brother as he was so ill. My sons were beautiful, visually perfect babies who were so unlucky. I miss them terribly.

So Here I am 1dpo and hoping for the best. Would love the support from any other hopeful ladies and in turn I'll support ye too. Much luck to us all 😀

So sorry for your losses. I'm 1dpo (I think) had positive ovulation test yesterday, DTD.

We've had 4 MC in 14 months. 5 weeks, MMC at 12 weeks, blighted ovum at 7 weeks & a MC at 6 weeks which was just 2 weeks ago. Hoping I won't get my period and I'll just fall pregnant with a sticky baby 🥲

So sorry for your loss. Praying for you & glad to be sharing this journey with you. I have everything crossed that you have a positive test this cycle.

I'm 2DPO so hope you don't mind me joining you. I had a chemical pregnancy 2 years ago & have spent the last 2 years working on my diet & exercise to regulate my cycle as I also have PCOS. My cycle is now regulated and I know I ovulated this month so feeling really optimistic. 🤞 xx

Welcome @MamaBee23 , I'm so sorry about your chemical. Its utterly heartbreaking when you have hope and its robbed from you.

That's wonderful about your cycle regulating. I have fingers crossed for both of us 🥰😯😀

Hi everyone,
I'm 1dpo and would like to join. I had a MMC in November , found out baby stopped growing at my 12 week scan 🙁 I already have 2 girls (13 year old +9 month old ) .

@Ella31 sorry to read what happened to you , that's really heart breaking 🥺

Hopefully this month we will be lucky , I have been a bit of a psycho since Nov/Dec with tracking and testing . Just want to be pregnant again , I feel robbed.

@Jadex92x I'm so sorry for your loss. I've no doubt your angel baby is looking down on you every step of this journey.

I'm the same. I've actually stock piled pregnancy tests for this week. If my husband knew how much I spent 😱

What have you done this month ttc wise? I've been taking proceive, vitamin c and omega. I dtd 3 days before ovulation and 2 after. Hoping I've covered all bases.

@Ella31 I've only been taking folic acid and vitamins , and dtd every day in the 3 days leading up to ovulation, yesterday and today . Hoping and praying it happens this month. Im the same 😄 I've got a pack of 30 10miu sensitivity tests in my bathroom drawer! This week is going to go so slow reckon 😩 I've said to myself I won't test until at least 8dpo this month but the other wee voice in my head said who are you kidding?! 😂

Hi everyone!
I’m 10DPO today… after testing early last month and having a chemical I’m trying very hard to wait to test until 14DPO 😭
I feel like ignorance is bliss at the moment coz I don’t want the sadness of getting negatives

Ive had a MMC and chemical in the space of 3 months, so feeling desperate 😩

Anyone else holding off and not early testing? (Hopefully I won’t cave!)

Good luck @Holl89 - have everything crossed for you. I feel the same tbh though I always end up giving in and testing sooner than intended. Hard to be patient when you want something so much x

Sorry to hear that. It's heartbreaking isn't it? I also have 2 girls (age 12 and age 9) so feels like a massive gap. My youngest is so desperate for us to have a baby and talks about it everyday which makes it harder. I have everything crossed for you 🤞💛 xx

Hiya, omg I am so so sorry for your loss. This is so tragic, I’m sorry you went through this.
Fingers crossed for you for this month!

Have one DS he’s 2 one loss previously a MMC at 14 weeks.
I am 3 dpo (well closer to 4 now) only another 10 days to go. Fingers crossed this is it.
Im not holding out much hope as we only DTD once 3 days before ovulation. My partner is away for work for the next 2 months and only comes home on the weekend. So makes TTC journey a little difficult. I still have everything crossed regardless.

Room for one more? TTC No.1!

@Ella31 so sorry for your loss, I am sprinkling lots of baby dust in your direction!

I am 1DPO today. My partner works funny shifts and works away a lot, so I am finding this challenging! We BD’ed yesterday (CD17 ovulation day) and today, but I wish we could have done it a bit earlier. Not feeling hopeful! So @Beanie14 I totally sympathise with you, my partner is away when I’m ovulating next month so this was our last go til March

Welcome @Beanie14 dtd before ovulation is recommended so you are definitely in with a chance. Hopefully this will be a lucky thread. I'm sorry about your loss too. It's amazing how many women have endured this. It's rarely spoken about.

@Daisychain27 lots of room here. Hopefully this will be your month so, it only takes one. 🤣

@Daisychain27 Same! Next month I ovulate on a Thursday and he’s back on Friday so that’ll be unlikely. So will just have to try w/e before. Very frustrating. Realistically we can’t properly try until April if I don’t by fluke get BFP before then from DTD 3/4 days before ovulation.

Looking forward to the TWW with you girls

Hey all, I'll join too! Currently 3DPO!
We're trying for our first and had a MC in September so really hoping this will be our cycle. I've been taking coQ10, extra methyfolate, vit D and proceive so hoping that will have improved any egg quality issues that there might have been.

We're away this weekend so hoping that passes the time. I have an embarrassing stash of different tests - wondfo, FRER, easy@home and clear blue digitals. It's an obsession 😂.

Hope the time passed quickly for us all. Are you early testers or do you want until you're due?

Beanie14 · 29/01/2024 09:54

@Bugdem123 I’m going to try and wait it out. I think I tested positive at 10dpo on last pregnancy. I’ll at least wait till then but don’t want to know if it’s a chemical so might wait until period is due before testing. I need some serious will power!! I have no patience usually 😬

I'm terrible for early testing. I've loads of cheapies to scratch that itch but I won't use a proper test until at least Friday which is still early 🤣🤣

Sorry for your loss. Xx

@Bugdem123 hi 👋🏻 it is scary how obsessed you can become 😂 I won't be able to wait to test , I will probably start testing at 7dpo , I'm currently 2dpo . Enjoy your weekend away !

I'm an early tester too so good to see I'm in good company 😂. I think I'll be 10DPO by the time I test. I got a BFP at 9DPO in my first pregnancy which has been a blessing and a curse.

We're away with my husbands family so I can't decide whether to drink or not as I don't really want any questions. I'm probably going to have one glass of something at dinner just for show but other wise stick to soft drinks. Wishing us all baby dust this month x

Hello - joining as I’m 4DPO and feel like I’m going a bit crazy googling! First month tracking but 3rd month of DTD at the right time (ish… I think…). Symptom spotting like mad and time is going so slowly. I’m going to early test as will feel more in control. Sending love to everyone who’s been through really challenging & heartbreaking situations - 🙏🏼 praying Feb 2024 will be happy news for everyone
