Anyone in their TWW?

👋 Hey!
Just wondering if anyone is in their TWW and want some company and support? Currently 3dpo after 2 back to back miscarriages. Extremely nervous this time around x

@ChaE05 I think I’m roughly 7dpo but had absolutely no symptoms whatsoever!

Good luck to everyone else, most of you are a couple of days ahead of me so really hope to see some positive news from you soon! X

Okay actually I think I'm not going to panic and think I'm completely out as what I am reading 9dpo can still be early! Depending on when implantation happened and what level hcg start at! This is why I wasn't going to test 🙃 why have I done it to myself lol. Just looking back my first pregnancy I didn't get a faint line until 12dpo ans my second was 11dpo. Hopefully 9dpo is just too early 🤞 x

Another one who’s 9dpo here! Haven’t tested but I have been getting some cramps so I think it’ll be another short luteal phase this month :(

Saying that I will still probably test with FMU if AF doesn’t come first

I also have a short luteal phase, I think because I'm still breastfeeding. Although I'm not sure if I have always had it because I have always ovulated between day 18-21. I will say, before all my pregnancies I have experienced cramping and convinced period was coming so don't count yourself out yet!

Hi everyone 👋🏼
I used lh strips for the first time this month
got what I thought was a positive on CD 16 afternoon and CD 17AM, the tests over the next 48 hours were a lot lighter so i stopped testing.
On CD 21 I got the tiniest bit of brown spotting which was exactly the same as last month around the time which i ovulated. I dont know if this was a bit delayed as I would think that would be too far past my positive test to be ovulation.

If you were me when would you start testing?
I know the best thing to do is to just probably wait it out 🤣

Hey! I always say try and hold off until a missed period! Easier said than done though isn't it. But I have just tested at 9dpo and bfn! Realised I have never tested that early before. My positives were only from 11dpo. So I'm praying I'm still in with a chance! It's just the longest wait isn't it x

Ah that’s disappointing but nothings definite until AF arrives!

I am also part of the 9DPO negative club!

Ugh it's so disheartening isn't it. Will you test again. I think I'm going to leave it a couple of days x

Negative at 10po. I know it’s only slightly more likely than not to get a positive at this stage, but think I’m out. Just not feeling it. My breasts have been SO sore since 5dpo, which happened with my chemical. It’s like my body is trying, it just can’t get there!

What test are you using? When is your period due. It's hard to stay positive when you hear of people getting their bfp at 8 or 9 days!

Playmobil4Eva · 07/04/2025 10:16

Hi all, should be test day tomorrow but tempted to put it off as I’ve been in such a good mood and don’t want to rain on my own parade. I never can get my head round DPOs but when is the earliest you can test and get a positive!
now doing to read the thread :)

Just the easy@home cheapies. Sick of wasting money on FRERs each month tbh. Period due Thursday / Friday.

It is so hard isn’t it? But I suppose maybe I’d rather hold on to a bit of hope than have my period arrive as a shock. At least this way you can get used to the idea it hasn’t worked.

When is your period due?

I've never used a frer! I keep meaning to order some as heard they are the best. Last month with my CP I was on holiday and didn't test until I was home and 13dpo. I'm due my period about Wednesday. But I usually have a couple of days of spotting before full flow so I never know if that counts as the start of your period or not. I hate this stress every month and how much it consumes me. I'm not feeling very hopeful x

Not quite sure when my period will arrive as had a bit of a mad cycle last month - if no period by Friday which will be CD 31 I will take a test then

I think my chances are minimal this month with how well we did with timings anyway but hopefully may get a bit more regularity with my period this month to make things a bit less stressful when we try again

🤞🏼 for a positive for you over the next couple of days

I was just in a couple of supermarkets with DD and thought about picking up a digital test but she is such a nosy Parker I decided to leave it.
My cycle was 39 days so I’m so confused on when to think my period is actually late.

fulltimemummyto2 · 07/04/2025 14:32

I'm jumping on now, although I think I'm probably a bit behind all of you for timings! Really hopeful this month.. but not convinced.

@LucyLou0527 hey, reading one of your first comments on here and I am in a very similar situation it seems. I have also recently been diagnosed with a b12 deficiency and started the injections, I have had all 6 and will now be every 3 months. I have also have miscarriages previously. It would be nice to have a chat 😊

Hi there! I just had my 6th one the other week. Are you feeling any different since having them? How long have you been trying? X

Hol1st · 07/04/2025 18:52

7dpo today. Sore nipples have gone away. Got some back ache but went on a hike with my other half and 3 year old today so could just be that or PMS. Last cycle was 30 days but spotted a few days before. Got a wedding on Saturday so might test beforehand so I know if I should avoid the Prosecco 😅 I should have some spotting by then going off previous cycles anyway so I’ll probably know for sure by then

jelliebean9 · 07/04/2025 18:56

I’m 9 or 10dpo, feel absolutely nothing today 🙃 which is unsettling me. Usually by now, 4/5 days before period is when peak PMS kicks in for me. Like emotions, bloating, sicky heartburn, cramps etc. Nothing at allllllll other than some very very minor twingy cramps. Which is surely not a good sign. I’m very convinced I’m out as with my son I had all the PMS symptoms going!

Ah, I definitely had a short LP when TTC my first, but still managed to conceive relatively quickly. I do think I’m out this time though - BFN this morning and a tiny bit of spotting this afternoon. There’s a tiny part of me that’s saying it could be implantation bleeding at 10dpo but I don’t really believe it is!

user1491592377 · 07/04/2025 19:53

@LucyLou0527i feel loads better, I had terrible symptoms was struggling with fatigue, numbness/pins&needles in my arms and legs etc. I think I have prob suffered for a while with it and although over the years doctors have done blood tests they had never tested for b12. Wasn't until my mouth was full of ulsers and I went to the dentist they was like you will be low on something, I then went to doctors and that's when they finally tested. Have they made you feel any better?

I already have a daughter who is 11 from a previous relationship, I have been trying to conceive with my husband on and off for around 6 years, I have had multiple early mc's the last one was a couple of years ago. I just have never been lucky enough to get pregnant since, but it could be the b12 as that apparently can cause temp infertility. I have always had regular periods but randomly they stopped in Dec, and I kept getting BFNs then I had my first injection and that same night my period started.
I am now unsure where I'm at in terms of cycle lengths and things but for the past few days I've had on and off stomach cramps, headaches & mild sicky feelings but I haven't come on, I tested yesterday and it's a BFN.
It's a circle of unknown I think.
