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

[Ella31]

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 😀

@CadoAvo welcome. It’s good to be positive about it all.

I am 4DPO today, work up feeling generally unwell - cold and flu like.
ln December when I got my BFP I had been unwell during the TWW too, let’s hope this is a positive sign

@CadoAvo welcome and good luck

I am 6DPO today! My symptoms today are sore boobs and backache. Also have flu like symptoms, runny nose and feeling a bit unwell

I should be 3 dpo I think... I've had very slight dull cramps so I am really hoping this is something

4dpo today. Has cramps last night, gone today. Really feel I'm out this cycle. Can definitely feel that my anxiety is heightened since my loss in November. Really miss my boys today as well.

@Beanie14

Yes definitely hard with little ones. We co sleep too 🥴 She's 19 months.
I've been trying to drink fruit teas at the moment. Lemon and Ginger, spearmint and a few others. Have about 2 cups of tea a day so not too bad.

@Fingerscrossed88 you are bang on the same CD as me. I felt dull cramps the first two days but nothing today. Trying not to over think it either. My last pregnancy I didn't have any symptoms until 6 weeks so no symptoms isn't a bad thing either so there's deffo hope for us all until period shows 🥳

@Ella31 sorry that you are feeling anxious. Try and fill your time a bit more to take your mind off things. Big hugs 🤗

@BabyBorn ah snap!!! In it together ❤️
Each day seems so long!

@Fingerscrossed88 it does! Helps that I have a little one to keep me busy 😆

Are you trying for your first or do you have other little ones?

@Ella31 I'm sorry 😔 I have everything crossed for you 🩷

Hiya everyone I thought I’d join😊 I’m 3DPO according to my flo app. Trying to conceive baby no.1, I have PCOS with very irregular periods and haven’t been using protection for 2 years but this is our first month properly trying❤️

Well 4dpo for me on TTC baby number 1, 3rd cycle.

The last 2 days I've felt so uncomfortable and gassy, I have problems burping so it's all just bubbling in my stomach to come out the other way...,which don't happening at work!!

I had a weird pulling feeling by my belly button last night, only for a minute or two but never felt that before.

Didn't notice this any other time in my previous TWW or when I'm not symptom spotting so it's interesting.

Just trying not to keep my hopes up too much as it's crushing when AF arrives.

Anyone else had anything like this?

Welcome @CadoAvo and other newbies!

I’m 5DPO and having some really crazy things going on, I have really quite strong pain all along my lower abdomen (like AF cramps) to the point where it’s uncomfortable to be stood up. Lots of pulling sensations on right ovary. I’m really bloated and I’m spotting a lot now, I’m having a lot of creamy/sticky brown CM 😔 It really feels like AF is around the corner but I’m so confused with it being only 5DPO, my ov date is definitely right as I went off OPKs, symptoms and BBT.

But I also had a huge BBT rise this morning, it went from 36.47 to 36.74 which is far more encouraging and suggests AF isn’t coming yet?

Can anyone shed any light on this for me? This happens to me quite regularly and it’s so upsetting as it makes me feel like something is wrong. It’s too early for implantation bleeding but also too early for AF too, so I can’t work out what’s happening here

@BabyBorn it would be my first 💗 we were going to try after our wedding in the spring but we had a suprised positive last month which turned out to be CP. Really upset us both and made us realise all we want right now is a baby and if we are pregnant on the wedding it will be so special!

What about you? Xxx

4DPO today. I’ve been feeling a bit crampy on and off like some of you - overnight last night I felt quite crampy lower down, but less so today. I do keep getting twinges in my cervix (or thereabouts?), which seems a bit weird! I know it’s too early for implantation, and I’m not super hopeful about this cycle anyway, so maybe it’s just one of those things 🤷🏻‍♀️

@Fingerscrossed88

Aaaawwww sorry to hear that. Let's hope this next time it will stick! No reason why it shouldn't! I am actually trying for my 4th 🤭 I have huge age gaps between my children. Wasn't exactly planned that way but I'm hoping to have another one close in age to my 19 month old so they can grow up together. 🥰

Thanks for the welcome!

@Ella31 sorry to hear how you're feeling, I really can't imagine the loss you've been through, sending hugs.

I've been full of a stinking cold since Monday so currently trying to get over that.

We are planning to test at 12DPO as it's the day after we get back from a weekend away next week so just need to keep myself busy until then. When do you all plan on testing, if at all? I think I'd drive myself crazy if I started too early but can see how the temptation is very real!

Hi @CadoAvo thats so exciting for you that it's your first ttc. Really hope you have amazing luck this month.

Thank you, I think my anxiety is getting through better of me and I'm only 4dpo.

@BabyBorn oh wow 4! That's amazing, I always wanted a big family! We are hoping we will be lucky enough for 3.
Out of interest did you have the same signs you were pregnant with each baby?

@Fingerscrossed88 No! Actually with my 3 girls I didn't know I was pregnant with any of them! The last time was because I had morning sickness nausea and realised I hadn't had a period for 2 weeks, so tested and it was positive! With the other two I didn't realise either. Suppose I had a little cramping on and off with the last two but nothing major really. I think when you are actively trying you sometimes think you feel things that aren't actually there! 😂 That's the problem with symptom spotting. The few few months we TTC this time around I thought I had symptoms and thought I was pregnant but cycle 7 and still not 🥴

@BabyBorn totally agree, I've never been so hyper aware of body! I'm not allowing myself to test until my period is late, not doing it beforehand. Aww you have 3 girls that's so special!

Cramping has stopped and I’m feeling very sad and emotional today. Just don’t feel pregnant so I guess I’m just sad 😔

@Ella31 im sorry you’re so sad today! It’s still so fresh and traumatic! You’re so brave and it will deffo happen for you again x

Completely agree, @Ella31, whenever I see your posts, I think how incredibly brave you are. I’m really sorry you’re having a tough time at the moment, it’s completely understandable. Your time will come 🙏🏼💐

I'm with you, @Beanie14 , keep strong. We'll have our day
