Anyone just starting their TWW? 🐥 TTC April Baby 👶🏻 💕 🌱

[Apricotmuffino]

Introduction

• second cycle
• 35 years young 😳
• ttc no2, i have a 2.5 year old little girl
• 1DPO, 9 days to go until I try a test!

How are you all?

Aww that makes me feel a bit more optimistic like ive got a chance! How many days post ovulation (the later one haha) did you test?

How are you feeling, do you have any early pregnancy symptoms yet? Exciting!

I’m out for this month but wishing you all good luck!

I was so determined that I wouldn’t let ttc consume me this time but it’s exhausting..

Hi lovely

I tested positive (super super faint) 13DPO and got my BFP properly 25th so a day after my predicted period. I was using Clear blue early and some cheap early ones from home bargains. When I tested when I was due on (14th 15th 16th July) they were stark white so I thought that was it. The only reason I tested was due to doing the deed when I was 'supposed' to ovulate. Turns out the universe had plans of its own haha.

Its been wild haha. I stressed myself out terribly thinking what the hell is wrong. Turns out there's a baby in there haha (we weren't trying) so a massive surprise. This will be my 6th haha.

For the last 4 pregnancies ive had severe HG requirement stay after stay in hospital for fluid and nutrition. I feel terribly nauseous already and have gone off of most things so I think its a sign of things to come.

When do you think you ovulated? Xx

I’m out AF arrived this morning! Good luck to all those still waiting and those that got their amazing positives…..onto the next month I go!

Ahh I am so confused, ive still got a lot of ewcm which is like day 10?! Light cramps too more consistent with a period though but im not due yet 🙃 I have no idea what's going with my body this month and I usually can read my cycle very well.

Hello OP, I don't want to raise your hopes unduly but this is among signs of early pregnancy. Have a quick Google and see what you think... unless you'd rather not symptom-spot? Fingers crossed that's the case and you'll get your BFP this cycle!

Thank you for replying to me, I cant stop myself symptom spotting even though I tell myself not too! I rarely have ewcm for so long so it has definately confused me, ive also felt a bit bloated too! Think its too early to take a test, although im confused now on when I ovulated as I didnt take any opks.

Honestly. This is EXACTLY how I was. EXACTLY. And.. I didnt test postive properly until after i was due on. I was genuinely thinking why the hell do i still have EWCM.
I too read my cycles like clockwork and it just all went to pot last month. I have no self control and was testing around 46 times a day.
Xx

Oooooooof so maybe im back in the game!! You have given me some hope.

Ive had a look online and it says ewcm isn't always a reliable indicator of early pregnancy, but it is also weird im getting light cramps as I dont think i would be due my period yet

I take it you never did determine when you did ovulate? Its hard to pinpoint with constant ewcm!

I ovulated between 9th-11th and the only reason I tested was because I was still getting EWCM. I started cramping when I was originally due on (15th -16th) like i was about to start my period but nothing happened aside from EWCM lol.

When i tested on the 15th and 16th they were negative. It wasnt until the 25th that I got a BFP. Xx

Ahhhh I bet you were over the moon! You are definately a pro mum too so you will smash motherhood once again no doubt. Does it get easier or harder the more children you have?! Im ttc2 and already a bit nervous about the jump from 1 to 2.

I will keep you updated, I will probably test early on Sunday which will probably be negative, but im inpatient!

Im not kidding when I tell you, i was testing about 16 times a day haha and wondering why there was no change. 😂

Thank you, thats really kind to say. Honestly I think going from 2 to 3 was the hardest and if you can handle 3 you can handle any amount haha. Please keep me updated! Xx

Ive got lower tummy cramps now, feels like im due on my period but it would be early 😕 so weird. If only a test would give me the answers now! Im on cd27 and dont usually come on until cd32 but if i did ovulated late it shouldn't be until at least cd36, which seems early to be getting period like cramps!

Heya! Just jumping on this to say that having cramps like period is pretty normal! I have cramps every few hours. I’m actually worried when I don’t feel them 😂 fingers crossed for you x

Ahh thank you, ive had a stitch like cramping towards my left ovary, hip most of the day, im cautiously optimistic, and hoping its implantation but I dont want to get ahead of myself, also woke up for a wee in the night and had watery dc!

Keeping my fingers crossed

How are you getting on? Have you had anymore symptoms other than cramps? Did you feel implantation?

the only thing I have experienced is sore boobs and cramping. The couple of nights before I had a giant positive and had lots of cramping and I had hot flushes and kept waking up in the night!

the other thing I have had the last 4 days is tiredness. Yesterday, I fell asleep on the train coming home from work which I have never done!

with my first one, I didn’t started to feel nauseous/throwing up until week 7!

when are you planning on testing? x

Hey lovely.

Our bodies are bizarre. Ive been testing again to see what the digital gives me. Its saying 2-3 weeks which would be correct for me and ovulating late.

When are you going to test? I have loads here i dont need of you'd like me to post haha. Xx

I'm 1dpo today, anyone else in the same boat? Going to try to keep busy during the 2 week wait!

They certainly are, yay so exciting seeing all those positive tests, especially when its in writing 'pregnant'

So I caved, which is ridiculous because its super early and obviously got a stark white negative test! I had a stich in my side yesterday when I walked, which is weird as I got the same in early pregnancy with my dc1.

Ive got my hopes up now 🤣 ive convinced myself that there is a chance I could be pregnant so will be disappointed if im not.

Sorry tmi but ive still got slippery/wet dc too when I wipe, not sure if this is a sign or not from the research ive done!

Aww you are so kind, if i wasnt already prepared with lots of tests I would have certainly taken up your offer! 🥰

What is your due date? April is a really lovely time of year to have a baby, longer days, the flowers begin to blossom and summer is on its way

Hello ☺️ ahh its such a long wait isn't it?

My cycle has been all over this month and I didnt use opk so I honestly have no idea where I am at, if I was to guess I would say around 8dpo but I have no idea!

Keeping busy is the only way forward, I am so guilty of symptoms spotting too, I did it last month (I had a spot on my chin and greasy skin which i never get) but low and behold my period arrived!

What cycle are you on now? Good luck!!!

@ApricotmuffinoIt's my 2nd cycle trying. I got pregnant last month but had a chemical pregnancy the day after I found out. Hoping for better luck this time!

I have been using the ovulation sticks and the Flo app which has been quite accurate for me, I know some people say it's not for them.

it's so hard not to symptom spot, I'm also on chat gpt asking about symptoms in the TWW.

good luck to you too!

@TrishyLou1111still got ewcm! Cycle day 29, and continued for 11 days! Surely it cant still no ovulation, * clutching at straws

Hey everyone I’m 8 DPO and I’ve just took a FREAR Test this evening as I had lots of cramping on and off last night. It’s come up with this it looks like the start of a positive or am I seeing things !!! So excited if this is the start of a positive … nothing has shown like this the past 3 cycles always been stark white.

I see it. X

Oh wow thats a great line, congrats!
