TWW Anyone?

[MrsOverthinker25]

Anyone want to join me on the TWW? Currently 6dpo and it’s feeling like forever!

I have had the occasional shooting pain in my boobs, they feel bigger and had cramps/twinges on and off for the last 2 days.

My temp took a huge dive below the cover line yesterday but it’s back up to just above cover line today!

Come and join in x

@ThatNimbleOP I have just had my strongest peak ever.. I can’t believe how dark it is 🤣 so tomorrow I will be 1dpo so I shall start them at 3dpo 🥰 yess come and join me! I ordered mine from eBay as none of the stores near me had them weirdly?!

I can’t say I blame you jumping straight back in, I would do the same. Plus I think you’re probs even more prone to catching aren’t you following a miscarriage, I’m sure I read that somewhere? Hopefully anyways 🥰 fingers crossed.

@Starryxx hey! How many DPO are you? Personally for me I’ve never had implantation bleeding so I’m probs not the best person to ask annoyingly 😩 fingers crossed it’s good news for you! Xx

@Starryxx agree! Give us some days and we'll be able to help :D I guess if near period it could just be bleeding before but in the middle of 2WW more promising?

@MrsOverthinker25 oh exciting!! Yes get to it...ah okay i'm quite away ahead then so i'll be done in a 5-6 days i guess haha. Yeah i've heard this too. I have to say i've some CRAZY symptoms this luteal phase. No idea if pregnancy related, think it's just residual hormonal stuff from miscarriage being triggered by the progesterone again. The cramps were bizarre though, i nearly went to A&E!

Fingers crossed for you all <3

@ThatNimbleOPim so sorry to hear of your loss ♥️ sending love, I'm glad your remaining positive and I send you so much baby dust for your tww

@MrsOverthinker25Glad to hear about your peak! Good luck for your tww too, crossing everything for you 🤞🏼

@Starryxxive also never had implantation bleeding so can't really help but could be promising depending on where you are in your cycle, good luck for testing 🤞🏼 x

@ThatNimbleOP hey, how are you getting on? What kinda symptoms are you having? Keeping my fingers crossed for you! So jealous you’re nearly through your TWW haha!

@NatalieSF thank you so much ☺️ I am 3dpo today. Just took my baby aspirin as I started it today 🤞xx

@MrsOverthinker25 hey!

Well this has been weirdest cycle ever but to be expected. I don’t know what DPO I am truly as fertility friend moved crosshairs back. I’m either 11 or 8DPO…have had spotting last two nights which I never get in luteal, guessing it’s hormone instability.

Still getting faint positives on pregnancy tests which is hard. I’ve had cramps, very sore boobs but it’s all an illusion after miscarriage!

How are you feeling? Also attached my temps if anyone would like to guess what DPO I am haha.

no af currently 4th day late , bfn on Saturday haven’t retested, had some more browny red coloured cm yesterday. i’ve woken up this morning with my left side of my stomach feeling bruised (as if someone’s kicked/punched me all night!) and the pain worsens when coughing or moving :/

@ThatNimbleOP oh yeah! How annoying. I would maybe be inclined to agree with FF, which is annoying and pushes you back a few days! I guess you wouldnt have been able to take OPK’s this cycle either as pregnancy hormones can make them appear positive can’t they. Well, at least either way you don’t have too much longer to wait 🥰

I’m good thank you! Natural cycles pushed me back a day today making me 3DPO. Meaning I ovulated 2 days after my peak, which I have read is pretty normal as my tests were still strong the day after my peak! but we shall see, really hoping this baby aspirin works 🤣🤞

@Starryxx oh how strange, are you normally late? Maybe retest if you haven’t since Saturday as sometimes the HCG takes a while to build up? Do you have any conditions like PCOS or endometriosis etc? Xx

not usually, im having quite watery thin light pink spotting currently. i probably will retest soon not looking forward to it :/ i was told from a scan that it looked like i had pcos then was re-checked months later and was told nothing indicated pcos everything looked fine but pcos and endo does run in the family (mum and sisters) so not entirely sure! x

@MrsOverthinker25 my temp dropped massively to well below cover line! Like it does day before period so with the spotting I’m expecting it very soon…which fits more with me being 11DPO! No OPKs, yeah they were very confusing and I don’t really use them anymore do FAM and temping to confirm.

Oh 3DPO! Yeah can defo ovulate 2 days after peak. Do you temp then if using natural cycles? I’ve read recently that even temping can be unreliable. Exact ovulation is so hard to pinpoint unless you have a scan! I guess just covering all bases when you think you’re ovulating should do the trick haha.

This miscarriage has made me realise how grateful I am for consistent cycles, the stress of uncertainty around ovulation is more stressful then negative tests I think ahah. Hope things go back to normal soon!

@ThatNimbleOP ohh nooo 🥺 sorry to hear that. The only positive about AF possibly being en route is the fact you can relax for a couple of weeks now, allow your body to reset and concentrate on the next cycle 🥰 yes it must be great having regular cycles 🤣 mine haven’t been too bad but deffo still longer than the average persons, but I do have PCOS so I just have to suck it up lol!

Now you mention it, I did read a thread before where a lady didn’t have 3 consecutive temp rises to confirm ovulation and she ended up pregnant! So I guess it isn’t 100% reliable tbf, which is V annoying! 😒 yes I temp using my Oura ring, I find that way more reliable than my Apple Watch! But yes we did cover every day so fingers crossed!! xx

@Starryxx
Let us know how you get on, fingers crossed for you! Hopefully you will know within the next couple of days what’s going on, so frustrating when you’re getting negative tests and no period etc. Try not to stress (easier said than done) xx

@MrsOverthinker25 so think my period is getting into full swing. Some actual blood today but still passing bits of tissue (sorry TMI), speaking to EPU today to check that's okay! So plus...seemed to ovulate on CD16 (the first rise) as period is coming on my usual 13DPO...minus, not pregnant :(

Was hoping to be the unicorn that caught on the first ovulation. My temps were so all over the place though, not sure how that could have sustained pregnancy! Or maybe something caught and failed as had some strong symptoms mid-cycle but probably just progesterone.

Hope you get some good news, keep me in the loop! I'll just be watching and waiting till my next ovulation now :/

@MrsOverthinker25 where did you get your aspirin from and what dosage was it? Just read a bit and thinking it can't do any harm now i'm on CD1. Just had a good cry at this period starting. Why is it so hard :(

My period started today a few days late, gutting :(

@Starryxx oh no sorry to hear that! It is so bloody awful 😢 just have to patiently wait for ovulation when we hope again.

I conceived first “go” with my first and had no issues. Just Sod’s Law the second is not only longer but MUCH longer then average! Why can’t it ever be a smooth ride…

@ThatNimbleOP aww bless you, so sorry to hear that. Did EPU get back to you about the tissue? So awful the things ladies have to go through, it really is sad. I hope you had a good cry and let it all out ❤️
I agree, mentally it is so hard to keep going sometimes, so many people around me are pregnant now as well, it hurts but of course, so happy for them :(

I got my aspirin off eBay, I couldn’t find any in the supermarkets but people swear they are in there. It’s the 75mg ones in a yellow box. I did so much research prior to taking them and it did appear that they are super beneficial, when going through IVF you’re automatically placed onto them and In other countries you’re automatically placed on them, some even prior to 3dpo! Yes of course I’ll keep you posted, we have had this thread over 6 months now 🥰 I not sure if I’m all that confident this cycle, since yesterday I have had slightly sensitive nipples (which was my first pregnancy symptom before at 3dpo) but I guess it could be anything so not holding my breath!

@Starryxx sorry to hear that, somewhat a relief it’s now arrived at least! :( xx

Hey ladies, hope everyone’s okay! Was feeling kinda hopeful this cycle with having really sore boobs since 3dpo, but had a wee earlier and noticed the tiniest amount of really light pink blood, like I had to fully inspect it but deffo a tinge to it 😩 9dpo now and I do spot 1-2 days before my period fully starts so I imagine AF is pending :(

@MrsOverthinker25 so sorry!! I haven't been on mumsnet for a while. How did this turn out for you? Was it implantation?

I think i'm CD10 going off of the pathetic excuse for a period i had haha (literally brown gunk!) so presuming my lining didn't build last month because of my hormones being wacky.

Feeling SO over this all!!! Kind of just want to do IVF and hand it over to science now. At least you no longer have to "try"

Hey @ThatNimbleOP so sorry for the delay, life has been a bit chaotic! It was not, it was just spotting before my period arrived 😭

I know what you mean, it’s gut wrenching each month isn’t it 😢 just another case of waiting for my ovulation date to come around now, it’s so hard waiting 6/7 weeks for it. Hope you’re doing okay xx

@MrsOverthinker25 sorry i missed this too, i thought i replied. In fact i think i did and didn't click send...so sorry.

How is it going? I'm 10DPO and i think, been getting faint positives on my amazon cheapies since 8DPO...seemed little darker FMU 9DPO but too afraid to test again. Also my temps looking so good and increasing, plus heart rate going up.

Could do with hand holding! Will test Saturday, day before period, so it's clear...

Temps attached!

Sorry didn't seem to add.

Hey, no need to apologise! All good my end thank you, still waiting for that ovulation date 🤣 still another 2 weeks or so to go 🙄

omg really?! That’s sooo exciting! Please keep me updated, I have everything crossed for you and a huge hand hold from me to you! Temps look amazing 🤩!! 👏🏻🤞🏻 xx

@MrsOverthinker25 is that due to PCOS the delayed ovulation? Have you looked at Letrozole etc to help!

So my temp has gone up again, Oura going crazy with major signs but my test lines this morning are so faint. Is this how a chemical goes or is 11DPO still so early (actually more 10DPO according to my Oura ring lol).

Im using the Amazon one step tests, maybe they’re a bit useless. I remember with my miscarriage they showed negative well before my easy@home etc. Anyway, not getting my hopes up but my chart and stats are for sure trolling me lol.

xxx

So SMU was a lot darker (last pregnancy was the same, no idea why), more a clear positive :) Alongside temps and generally feeling a bit off i'm going to tentatively say pregnant again but still so early....:/

@ThatNimbleOP yes that’s correct. Tbh my doctor is utterly useless so I do my own research and supplement it but I have given myself a deadline of July. If I haven’t caught by then I’m gonna do back and ask for letrozole as it’s killing me waiting so long now 😭

my chemical was a line followed by fainter lines as the days went by and then a horrendous period! But it doesn’t seem that’s the case for you following your second update!! Omg ❤️ early congratulations!! The Oura ring is soo clever isn’t it. Please keep me updated! I’m excited for you!! Xxx

@MrsOverthinker25 i think letrozole is fairly safe so maybe go for it!! I'm thinking the same tbh if it helps boost.

Have brown spotting start today got not pregnant on a digital, with tests fading now so think it's a chemical for me. Oh well...fingers crossed for next month :(
