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

Just a question, where does everyone get their frer from these days. When I got pregnant in 2021, I could get them at boots, but I can't find them anywhere now

I bought mine in boots in those days too! I found a box I must have ordered off Amazon around when we were trying for my son. I used one yesterday at 9dpo- BFN of course 😩 They were still in date but the caps were dark dark pink, very different looking from how I member they looked when I got them from boots in 2021 and tested when pregnant with my son!

Negative test for me this morning. A bit sad as I had the exact feeling I had with my daughter that I was just pregnant and really sore boobs.

Me too 🥲 I really don't think it's my month. If I don't test positive tomorrow I know I'm out as that is the earliest I tested positive before. How many dpo are you?

Sorry about the BFN! My boobs are sore too.. what dpo are you? I’m quite optimistic I’ll be positive this month but then I saw your post and now I think I’m crazy again 😅 I’m 8dpo today so not testing yet

jelliebean9 · 08/04/2025 06:47

@Playmobil4Evaand @ChaE05so sorry about the bfn ☹️ keep holding onto hope that AF won’t show its ugly face 🙏🙏 how many dpo are you both? I tested negative with DS at 11dpo and thought I was out. AF never snowed in 14dpo so i tested on 15dpo and was positive. Crossing fingers! X

FigPig · 08/04/2025 06:49

Negative at 11dpo. Small drop in bbt too. I’m definitely out. Sorry to hear everyone else’s news! I’ve also got really sore boobs. Feels cruel!

☹️ awe man, I’m so sorry ☹️ hope it’s an easy AF. It’s so nasty ☹️

Playmobil4Eva · 08/04/2025 06:53

14 DPO- Don’t feel I can argue with the test! my cycle was 10 days longer than usual last month so I feel in constant limbo! I’m telling myself at least I can go down the rapids at Centre Parcs this weekend!

ChaE05 · 08/04/2025 07:13

@FigPig@Playmobil4Evareally sad for you guys waking up to bfn too 😢 this is such an emotional rollercoaster. I just feel so low, was pregnant in January, then March again. Now feeling like it's not happening just seems to be adding to the grief. Hope you girls are okay. Have you been trying long? X

Going into month 5 now. I know it’s not long, but it’s hard not to feel a bit sad about it. So many people seem to have cracked it more quickly. Bright side is that a Christmas baby wouldn’t have been ideal I suppose! How about you?

Since August- to be fair we’ve been a bit patchy with sex on fertile windows and then I had to come off all supplements because I’ve been diagnosed with a life long/ chronic illness and then I just stopped eating!
My husband has just come back from the gym and given me a bit of a pep talk. I keep saying it seems so easy for everyone else and he keeps reminding me that I’m just making assumptions!

Think I’m going to forget about my tender boobs as a symptom then! So sorry for your negatives. This is cycle 4 for me post miscarriage. I’ll test on Friday if i don’t get any of my usual spotting, otherwise onto the next cycle

Durhamgirlie · 08/04/2025 07:56

So sorry on your BFNs this morning girls 😞

Im now 9 DPO and still absolutely no symptoms so can’t see the point even buying a test. The worst part for me is thinking it’s probably about three weeks before I can even try again! So frustrating!

BlondeMummyto1 · 08/04/2025 08:55

Sorry to hear about the BFN’s but don’t lose hope.

With my daughters pregnancy I had zero symptoms and a late BFP.

ChaE05 · 08/04/2025 09:39

@FigPigi completely feel you. I feel mad at people around me pregnant. I've also got 3 friends currently fallen pregnant recently. One of us we found out a week apart. She's now about 14 weeks. It hurts alot and I always felt bad feeling angry. But you know what my feelings are valid and it's okay. Same as you about 5 months, with 2 miscarriages in that time.

I'm 10dpo! Thank you for that..it's nice to hold onto some hope. I just feel like because it's a clearblue ultra early, it would be showing something now. But I guess not out until AF shows. Feeling pretty low today x

It just seems such a long process doesn't it! I wouldn't go off of no symptoms though ans 9dpo is early still! We got to keep positive. Sorry, have you been trying long? X

Oh god you have been through it!! I hope you're okay. And your husband is right. We always assume everyone got their babies so easily but it really isn't the case for everyone. You just feel so alone sometimes x

I think it helps me mentally to test early and ease into being out. Like, I guess there’s a tiny chance I could get a positive at 12dpo. But I find it easier just to look to the next cycle.

I don’t mean that it’s not lovely to hear positive stories, I just don’t let them apply to my situation or I think I’d get even more down about it all.

@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.

Now that you’ve mentioned it, I think I’ve had low levels for quite a while too! I always get ulcers on my tongue and I must get pins and needles every single day! It honestly just became the norm for me.

I am so glad you are feeling better, the only thing I’ve noticed so far is my eyes aren’t as blurry in the afternoons anymore so I mustn’t be as tired as before.

so sorry to hear about your MC’s, they are truly heartbreaking! I’m starting to think mine were due to the b12 as it actually causes issues with implantation. Maybe we both could have been pregnant ages ago if we just got our bloods done sooner..

im 11dpo and BFN today so maybe we will both start AF in the next couple days and be cycle buddies this month!💗

I had a chemical in January but it was a completely unexpected pregnancy, we weren’t trying at all and were in the middle of moving house though it made us realise it was definitely what we wanted. In Feb we agreed to try properly but got a BFN so I bought us both the proceive vitamins and the ferti-lily so I was confident this month would be it but now I’m not so sure - we’re both almost 38 and now I’m stressing out that I’m too old 😭😭

Why are our bodies so bloody complicated and temperamental! I’m too impatient for this 😂

user1491592377 · 08/04/2025 15:15

@LucyLou0527i was the exact same thinking it was my normal, very easy to make excuses for tiredness and 'being run down' and blame it on just everyday life.
Onwards and upwards for us now though! Aww cycle buddies 🥰. It's nice to know I'm not the only one cos you don't find much about it.
Do you already have children or will this be your first? How old are you if you don't mind me asking? X

So sorry for your chemical, it's really heartbreaking. My last one was a chemical. Still hurt as much as the previous miscarriage.
I'm the same as you- 38 next month. The chance of actually fallen pregnant in any given month Is like 15% at our age and that's not an awful lot higher even if you are younger! I fell first time with my son, so I thought things would be just as easy! But it took 3 months until I got my bfp. It's a journey. Supplements are a good start and at our age if we haven't fallen pregnant in 6 months you can go to the doctor for tests etc x
