Looking for TWW buddies!

[Cols124]

TTC baby no 2 🤞
Currently on cycle 2 of trying and 3dpo.

Looking for others to go through this with!

@purplecolouroffunk so for me personally there’s quite a big difference between my spotting and full AF (my spotting is normally incredibly light, more pink than red, and only when I wipe, don’t need a panty liner or anything) and so I count CD1 as my day of normal full ‘flow’!

I also had the same thing - they insisted I had my progesterone test on day 21 even though I very rarely have 28 day cycles and so it was a bit on the low side but I think that’s just because I took the test too early! Then they wanted me to do it 7 days before my period is due but again my cycle length varies a lot so I think it’s just better to it 7dpo like you are doing! Hope you get some answers 🤞

@hopingforapeainapod good to know! Mine is usually fairly pink and sometimes it just stops for a day of two. I think it's more obvious when real AF starts but tricky to tell some months.

It's hard isn't it! My cycles are a bit all over the place but I think that's generally because I've not been differentiating between spotting and AF. I have ovulation signs every month so I'm hoping that if my progesterone is low that it's not so low that ovulation isn't happening. Should find out soon!

I’m not too sure! If my cycle is normal this month I should get some spotting in the next few days, so I might see if that turns up or not. AF isn’t due until 22nd but don’t think I can wait that long! I was thinking maybe first test 10 DPO (would be 17th) if I’ve not had any spotting, but that might be too early.

How about you?

I'm due AF on the 25th. I was gonna try 10dpo aswell. But I can't figure out ovulation as I got the static smiley on the 7th then a empty cirle on the 9th and another static smiley on the 10th. This morning it's back to empty. Very confused as to when I actually ovulated. I've never tracked it before.

Hi everyone,
I hope I can jump in?

Started trying late January, so I'm on 1st cycle. AF due 19-20 Feb and I think that ovulation was 6 Feb so I'm now 6 dpo (was tracking only dates and ovulation pain).

Already wasted a triple FR test as way too early (silly I know!) and find it excruciating to wait until AF due.. Don't want to waste more money on early testing or risk disappointment, so I'll patiently wait although it's difficult to concentrate on much else! Being 36 y.o doesn't help either!

Hope we all get BFP soon!

@Suddenly87 welcome! I totally get what you mean - I'm 37 so also feeling that time is against me. I'm due af on Friday and having cramps so I don't think it's my month unfortunately. Fingers crossed for you! 🤞🤞

Hi everyone. I will be monitored by the early pregnancy unit until they are able to locate this pregnancy. My hcg was 9 as of yesterday and I go in to do another blood test Wednesday. They want to ensure this pregnancy isn’t another etopic. I’m hoping for the best

@Brianna4kd hoping for the best for you too! Do keep us updated if you feel you can ❤️

@Suddenly87 and @Starrysky812 I’m 35 so I feel ya both!

@Suddenly87 hmm confusing about the OPK. I read somewhere that estrogen can cause a second surge but I have no idea other than what I read.

Today I’ve had cramps all day and just had a tiny amount of light pink spotting only when I wipe. I’m not due AF til the 22nd, so I’m almost certain this is the early start of my usual pre-AF spotting 😔 Can’t think why else I’d be spotting just now as only max 6 DPO so couldn’t be implantation this early.

Thank you so much! I'm also having PSM type cramps so not sure at all what my situations is but I'll take it as it comes. We can only hope.

I'll certainly update closer to AF due date, please do the same!

So far symptoms have been:
-Extreme hunger pangs even when full, that feel a little nauseating (but could be from taking pregnacare supplement?)
-Said cramps
-being hormonal but more angry than emotional (another potential PMS symptom I guess)
-Enlarged breasts
-acne way before normal PMS timeframe

I think that I would be massively lucky if I did get pregnant so easily, so definitely no huge expectations here, just a real desire to find out asap. I'm also in a weird situation work wise, I'm looking to change jobs but if I do end up pregnant soon then I'll stop my search for now.

Good to be here!

@Starrysky812 I’ve also been cramping this evening for a short time. Feels like AF. Currently 9dpo. I’ve been getting shooting pains in my boobs too but I’m still breastfeeding my 10 month old son so I’m guessing it’s that. I think I’m out this month too 😕

@Cols124 I'm still BF my 14 month old DD which can throw symptoms can't it! Makes it all the more confusing. I'm going to do a frer on Wednesday morning but I'm gearing up for a negative ☹️ the cramps just feel too much like my usual af cramps. Still keeping everything crossed for us though! What date is your af due?

@Suddenly87 @purplecolouroffunk
We're in a similar boat then! Keeping everything crossed for you ladies 🤞 keep us updated ❤️

@Starrysky812 it really can! My period returned 10 weeks pp and have ranged from 22 to 28 days since.
I’m expecting a negative too. Also feels like AF cramps. According to my app I’m due on Saturday but could be any day. If AF doesn’t appear by the weekend I’ll test but I’m guessing it will 😔

@Cols124 it's so hard isn't it. Doing all we can and having af appear every month. It can feel quite disheartening. We're not out till she arrives though so don't give up hope! Keep us updated xx

Hello ladies! How's everyone coping with the TWW? I'm doing a frer first thing tomorrow. Still having twinges and cramping so I'm sure it'll be negative, but will be keeping fingers crossed for a miracle 🤞And good to know either way! Lots of baby dust all round ✨✨

Good luck @Starrysky812!! Let us know how you get on.

I'm having a tough time with it all this week. I now have light pink/yellow-y watery spotting and I'm at 6 or 7 DPO. Thinking it's just my usual spotting before AF arriving even earlier than usual - it's a pain in the arse. Shall wait to see if she kicks in!

@purplecolouroffunk Thank you! 🙏
Could be implantation bleeding at 6-7dpo 🤞xx

Hey I'm 9/10 DPO. I came home ravenously hungry today and I said to my husband I don't know what's wrong with me and he said I think I know what it could be lol. I'm not getting my hopes up though as I've had absolutely no other symptoms. I think we missed my peak day when dtd as my huspand was at a stag do. so think it's unlikely. Hope everyone else is doing OK. Not long to go now.

Hi everyone, just a quick update. I have a repeat for my blood work tomorrow but I’ve been having cramps and now when I wipe I see pink. I took another pregnancy test and I think the lines are getting fainter. I’m sad it may not be a viable pregnancy. Trying to stay strong until tomorrow but I’m already feeling defeated.

@Brianna4kd i am so sorry to hear that and fingers crossed it all works out. Either way I hope you get answers soon. Please dont feel defeated xxx

@Brianna4kd sending hugs to you 💙 hopefully everything works out.

According to my app AF should be here today, no sign yet but had cramps in my lower back, thighs and belly on/off yesterday so I do feel like it’s on route 😢

I think I’m out this month too. Spotting since 5 DPO has increased (altho still pink, not red) so guessing my spotting has just started even earlier this month. It really sucks as AF not due for another 8 days.

@Starrysky812 let us know how you get on with your test today!!

I’m 10/11 dpo and got a bfn this morning. I didn't get a bfp until 2 days after my period was due at 16dpo with my son but I feel like I’m out. All the symptoms of AFon her way!
