Hello. I'm in the dreaded TWW, symptom spotting, testing and all 😂

I had two huge follicles on CD10 after letrozole CD2-6, and triggered that day. Timed intercourse (FUN!) on day of trigger and the day after. Multiple losses, one success before these losses. Waiting and hoping but also scared 😟 tough couple of years....

Now waiting. Very little symptoms.
Anyone wants to wait with me? Or share stories?

I had a mc in January at 11weeks. My two cycles following have been spot on time but symptom wise, none in the lead up and I have always had tender breasts (with pregnancy too) - I already have one son.

This month (cycle 3) I assume I ovulated last weekend. I've had more frequent urination since, thirsty more, hunger. And today my nipples seem tender.

I don't want to get my hopes up, AF isn't due until the 29th so I won't test but I'm guessing I'm just looking for any similar experiences people have had post mc with a following pregnancy. Could the soreness just be my hormones returning to normal.

Really want to test but equally want to wait until I'm officially late.

We're so hopeful for a rainbow this year x

@Harveybelle I also have a son, he is nearly 3.
I am sorry for your loss, that must have been devastating. Are you trying for long? Symptom testing is really terrible, I had a lot of moments of hope and desperation, and feel annoyed at myself and my body.

This is our third post mc cycle. Before then it was about 3 months too.

I'm so tempted to just buy a cheapie to see even though af isn't due until Monday!

@Harveybelle I would say wait at least until dpo 10. I started earlier to test out the trigger, and it's affected my mental health a lot. I prefer to live in a bubble at least for a bit, though I know how hard it is wanting to test. Are you ttc for your first? I have also gotten pregnant every few months last year and then nothing for 6+ months. So I turned to medicated cycles but I'm very low AMH so worried about time.

Harveybelle · 23/04/2024 11:34

No this would be my second and my partners first. So I'm 10dpo tomorrow. It was just an urge. Usually I always wait until I'm officially late. I've just felt different. Like I did in November when I found out I was pregnant before our mc... I'll hold out a couple more days and retest x

I caved (before posting and realised it didn't attach) and think I see a squinter.

Hi ladies can I join.

im day 1 into my 2 week wait. Bit of history I’ve had in total 4 miscarriages. I have a son who will be 5 in august. I had 2 miscarriages before him. And we found ourselves pregnant again in January completely by surprise. Unfortunately that ended in a miscarriage at 6 weeks. We then decided to actually try and was fortunate to fall pregnant in March again but that also ended in a miscarriage at 6 weeks. This is the first cycle back to trying again after waiting a cycle for my own mental health. So very nervous about this month.

fingers crossed for everyone!

@Harveybelle how are you this morning?

@Chaz693 I'm so sorry to hear about 4 MCs. Have you had any tests yet? I got diagnosed with blood clotting which surprisingly showed up after 3rd mc, even though I tested for it after my 1st. I'm so thankful of my son, but it would be lovely to give him a sibling, he has been asking me. My mental health is really low too, it has taken over my life. We just got another negative this cycle (put too much hope into it), I felt the lowest low, so signed up to start IVF, initial consultation in May. Hoping to start in July.
Fingers crossed for this cycle, please keep me posted and be kind to yourself, you're always doing your absolute best 💚

Thank you. So far we haven’t been able to have any testing as my doctor seems to think that coz I’ve had one successful pregnancy that it was just something wrong with them pregnancys. Though he has agreed to keep a close eye on me once I get pregnant again. He has referred me to the gynaecologist so waiting for that to come through and I’m hopeful that they’ll be able to help and investigate more.

9dpo today. And not feeling overly hopeful! The earliest I've got a positive is 10dpo. So I know if I get a negative tomorrow that will be me out for this cycle. Just feeling down today about it all. X

@Chaz693 Honestly I felt down every 9 dpo, including the 3 pregnancies. Did you have any symptoms yesterday?

I've not really been paying attention. If I'm honest I've been trying my best to ignore everything as if I don't get my hopes up i can't be disappointed. It's only today when I got my familiar back pain I normally get when I come on that made me think I must be due on today. I'm not due on till Saturday. The back pain only came for a very short time so now my little voice is like oh that could be implantation. Lol! So now I know I'm going to cave and test tomorrow and then be disappointed if it's negative. X

@Chaz693 yes I always test from dpo 10. It's such a rollercoaster 🙈

Me too! I was trying to be good and not test until Friday but every time I've been pregnant I've found out on 10 dpo. So know I won't be able to hold off now x

Hi everyone, I wondered if I could join in this TWW club! I am driving myself insane, this feels like the longest month ever.

Myself and my partner started TTC in January so I know it's still early days but it doesn't feel like it. I had really strong ovulation pains and nausea on ovulation day this month and we DTD a few days before and on the day so I absolutely convinced myself we would get pregnant, I then started with heartburn a couple of days later which I never get. But now I'm CD24 and feel nothing and a bit deflated. I feel like I'm also driving my partner crazy with all the attempted symptom spotting 🙈

Welcome! I'm cycle day 24 too! Feel your pain. It's so hard not to symptom spot. I've literally had to tell myself this whole cycle that it wasn't going to work to stop myself. But even then I still hope for something. I have to remind myself there's only a 25% chance every cycle. So just coz this cycle wasn't the one doesn't mean the next one won't be! X

I have everything crossed for you!
It's so hard isn't it. I get upset when AF arrives but then after a day or two I'm like ok, let's start again we've got this. It's the TWW that's hell isn't it!
It's so crazy that we spend so long avoiding pregnancy and then when we actually want to get pregnant it feels so hard.

Chaz693 · 01/05/2024 22:33

@TryingToStaySane92 oh my god totally! The TWW is the worst part. I just want an answer to if I'm pregnant or we've got to do it all over again. I find myself resistant to make plans too coz if we have to try again the next month I don't want to make plans to go away during my fertile week! I swore this time I wouldn't be so obsessed with it but I'm so bad with it. Just want a baby lol! X

B1989 · 01/05/2024 23:59

CD25 tomorrow for me. Going to test on Fri I think. I’d rather just know 😅

TryingToStaySane92 · 02/05/2024 07:16

@Chaz693 I'm the same! I don't think I've ever wanted something this badly.

@B1989 eeek good luck! I think I'm going to test Saturday morning, we're away with my parents this weekend and I want to know if I can have a cheeky drink or not.
