TWW

[Teeo85]

Hi, any ladies going through the TWW ? I’m 4dpo had a miscarriage in August and have been trying since February. I just find the TWW really long and stressful 😣

Hello! I’m 2dpo! We’ve also been trying since Feb with three losses in that time! Getting fed up! Happy for some company in the TWW!

Hello, I will be 3dpo tomorrow so quite early riding the dreaded tww train with you too! This is cycle 11 for me ttc my second. Fingers crossed for us! x

Edit to add: I feel like I symptom spot more with every cycle. Each time I tell myself I won’t do it next month and I’ll just relax and not test till at least 10dpo but it gets to 4dpo and I’m already googling symptoms (reading the same old mumsnet posts!) and reaching for the cheapies🙄👊

I have pcos but conceived my first very easily so it’s frustrating that it’s not been as simple this time round. I have blood tests next week to confirm ovulation but I temp and track CM and OPKS and all seems okay on that front so hopefully things are all working as they should..

Oh the dreaded symptom spotting @Yellowdaff25 ! I also tell myself I won’t but last cycle I convinced myself I was pregnant so it was very disheartening!

I don’t know if I have much hope for this cycle as I caught my daughter’s tummy bug a few days before ovulation and I’ve been feeling rough all week!

Well for what it’s worth I have read so many posts on here before about people counting themselves out when they’ve been unwell or had a bug during the tww and ended up getting a BFP so I wouldn’t worry too much about that!

The symptom spotting is crazy isn’t it! With my first I was blissfully unaware I was even pregnant so I didn’t have any of that this stress😂 Fingers crossed for us all x

Wishing you all the luck for this cycle !! It’s nice to not feel alone. I’m exactly the same ! My first was a complete surprise to us and when I was ready for a second (in February) I thought it was going to be so quick and easy now I was actually trying for one ! But it hasn’t been and then I got a positive test in July but miscarried at 7 weeks. Last months I was soooo convinced I was pregnant and then I got my period and felt sooo sad ! I believe it will happen when it’s meant to happen but can’t stop thinking about it ….
getting my progesterone blood test done on day 21 just to see if I ovulated… but looking at my bbt and opk it looks like I have… are you using a bbt tracker ? It looks like this months I have ovulated 2 days later than normal on day 14 instead of 12.. (so slightly off with when I had intercourse) so only on 3dpo today …I think my cycle it’s trying to regulate since the miscarriage…Good luck girls 🤞🤞🤞

For anyone who already have a kid are you like me and stressing about the age gap that is getting bigger and bigger every month ? I can’t stop myself from thinking that it’s now going to be at least 4 years and feels like a lot …

Yes definitely! Mine is 5 and if I worry about the age gap getting bigger and bigger…

Thank you @Yellowdaff25 ! Here’s hoping! Although I don’t really want to get my hopes up too much any more!

@Teeo85 Good luck to you as well! Oooh it looks like we’re all on 3dpo today then! I also ovulated a little later this cycle which I’m glad for in a way because AF would’ve been due on the DD of my first miscarriage! I track with BBT and OPKs. I always get worried my temp won’t increase and then when it does it’s a bit of a relief!

Our first was also easy compared to this time round! She’s 2 and a half so she’ll be at least 3 by the time we get another baby now. It’s just not the age gap I had in mind! We’d have also loved a third!

Hi ladies ! How are we all ? I’m will not lie, I’m a starting to symptom spot…what a surprise … it’s so hard not to ! I find it easier in a way to try an convince myself that my period is coming. So here’s what I’m finding weird this cycle. Every night when I read my son’s story before bed I have this slight nauseous feeling that’s last maybe 20 minutes and then goes. It happened yesterday day at the same time while trick or treating ! What is also odd is that my breast are usually sore before my period but this cycle they are not as much as usual… and I have headaches everyday … I will wait for period to come but when do you girls usually test? Sending you all lots of positive vibes for this cycle. And let’s remember it’s not if we get pregnant, it’s when !!! Xxx

Hey @Teeo85 ! Definitely so difficult to not symptom spot! I don’t think I really have many symptoms. Just trying not to think about it until Monday. AF normally arrives at 12dpo which will be Monday for me! I usually test early but I’m determined not to this time round!

Currently in TWW it's so hard! Can anyone see a line?

@lilla93 I think I do, very faint but I do …how many DPO are you ??

I see the line too @lilla93 !

I’m 12dpo and I have the faintest of faint lines!! Oh my gosh! I’m so scared it’s just another chemical on its way out though!

@RoseannesMamma oh my gosh, keeping my fingers crossed for you 🤞🤞

Can you see it too ?

Can definitely see your line @Teeo85 !!

I think I’m having another chemical. Still spotting, temp dropped slightly and tests are still extremely faint.

@RoseannesMamma Oh no I hope it’s not ! I’m spotting too (but reading it can be normal) … I’ve stopped tracking my temperature because it’s stressing me out, let’s just wait and see … never had a chemical before so wouldn’t know what to expect. Will test tomorrow and see if the line is still here. I am cramping and feel like my period is coming though … xx

Line was still there this morning but I’m a bleeding like a period now so I guess I’m out … will carry on testing to make sure line is fading. Let’s hope next month brings more luck 🍀 🤞

@Teeo85 AF has definitely arrived for me. I’m thinking this was another chemical.

@RoseannesMamma I’m really sorry… it must be hard to go through so many chemicals.
Same here my AF have arrived full blast and all my symptoms have gone…it looks like we have gone through a very similar experience this cycle. I wish you all the best of luck and I have no doubt we will both have healthy pregnancies when the time is right ! X
