how long did it take for your hormones to show negative

[qwk]

I agree with that approach Charlie! I don't drink too much these days as I am still breastfeeding my toddler. I try to be a responsible adult I don't drink at all during TWW, though I doubt that's truly necessary. More of a mental thing.

I had a little temp drop today, .4 F at 5 dpo. Hm. I wish I had charted more to know if that actually means anything lol. I think from everything I've read, it is fairly unlikely to implant 5 dpo, and a dip doesn't necessarily mean anything anyway. So I reckon it is kind of meaningless

But it does make my chart different from last month's. I think last month I implanted day 8 or 9. With my son, I think I implanted on 6 or 7 dpo based on my beta numbers and my chart.

Yayyyy!!! Everyone's O'ing! We have come a long way ladies. I'm so glad to share this time with y'all!
sorry I've been MIA! I had a ride with those stupid tests. I think I'm waiting till AT LEAST 8-10 dpo this month so I stop squinting at nothing help me stay accountable yall!

CD 9 and I start opks tomorrow. I'm kind of following the sperm meets egg plan just to try it out! Also have preseed so we'll use that. Lots of lube makes it much easier for DH and his hurt baby maker!

I love wine too much .. Although a couple weeks ago was the first time I had alcohol since the mc. I'll have a glass every now and then but other than that, we don't drink much anymore.

Im going to have a couple of small glasses of wine tonight as it may be the last time i get to for some time lol!! Qwk hopefully the temp drop is a good sign and leahi hope the sperm meets egg plan works xxx

I drink during the 2ww, I just try not to overdo it... a couple of glasses of wine or a couple beers wont hurt anything.. Hey I have tried everything in this TTC journey - even not drinking for 4 months straight!! But you know what? I wont give up everything.. I don't need to - I need a little balance or I would go nuts!! haha...

Good luck to everyone! I am 1DPO tomorrow ahhhh

BD this morning again, so that's 7 times in the last week I would say my coverage is as good as it gets, right? Will try again in the morning just in case lol

You go girl! Cycle buddies lol!

Yay! It's great to see all the progress.

Well, the past week I complained about headaches and lower backpain, but for the rest of my preggie symptoms were gone. Yesterday I felt a bit bloated and boobies were larger and nipples sensitive. Today I started with a medium af like flow and very light cramping. No clots. Think this could be normal af again. It's my usual signs, but didn't think I would be lucky so early. What do you think? I'll start temping tomorrow and will do a hpt to see if levels are down. Also invest in a few opks.

Hopefully this is your AF and things are starting to progress for you! FX

Hi everyone.

Petzy and Charlie that's so exciting you have your positive opk 's Yay!!

So i am 9 dpo tomorrow, I've had sore boobs and watery cm which makes me think we might have caught the egg, but I did a test tonight and it's bfn, I hate all this waiting, this has been the hardest one yet!

 

[qwk]

aw, FX for you tooty, it's really early & evening, don't get discouraged!!

I know what you mean! I feel like the cycle is going to be really hard in the two week wait because it's the first proper cycle since a miscarriage. You're definitely not out yet! You are only 9dpo and I never got a bfp that early! Are you using frer? I am done with cheapie tests. I don't trust them, and I'd rather just buy the better quality ones and wait longer. My plan for this cycle is to test with an FRER at either 10 or 11 DPO.

 

[tootyfruity]

I know, I don't know why I feel so discouraged : ( and Yeah evening isn't ideal, I was using cheapy internet tests, ill try again tomorrow morning.
Ill be waiting for progress with everyone else too x

 

[Petzy]

I always feel that way too but you are jumping the gun a little so don't worry just yet. Try and wait two days if you can bear it !

 

[qwk]

Yeah I feel kind of despondent about it too this morning. I guess I was hoping my temp would be higher today - it's not like, low, but I was hoping for a jump you know? I hate symptom spotting, as if you are not pregnant you just feel crazy afterwards

 

[o0oCharlieo0o]

Good luck tootyfruity hun, dont feel down cheap tests and evening and early on even if you was pregnant i very highly doubt ud have got a pos with all that, xx

Well i got pos opk on Thursday which meant i prob ovulated Friday but i didnt bd Friday night, i bd Wednesday Thursday and Saturday, so i hope iv done enough, trust Friday to be the one night i didnt! So im now 2dpo i think here starts the ttw xxx

9 days is still really early, hang in on there and test again but try morning wee so it's at it's strongest.

Very best of luck tootyfruity, hope this is it for you

 

[fandabby]

Gosh this thread speeds past.... Hope everyone is doing well and staying baby positive.

I do drink wine too and try for moderation although after my mc I was probably getting through 5-6 bottles a week, sounds heavy I know but it helped me block out the emotional stuff and then when my mc slowed down so did my wine intake

Angelbaby - hope you are starting to feel better, and fingers crossed your body is balancing and this is your af. Good luck

Petzy,qwk and Charlie good luck with your 2WW, think you are pregnant already, draw that energy towards you.

Leah good luck too catching your egg this cycle.

Sending you all lots of


I have some good news, we tested positive this week on the cheapy internet tests and I did a CB digi yesterday which confirmed it. Being cautious, all spotty, bloated, crampy, nausea comes and goes but boobs feel fine though.

I bumped into a sonographer at swim club and I sneakily asked her when I can come for a scan and she said even though I have had MC I still won't be seen until I am around 10 weeks. Although I have no idea where I am really as I bled solid for 7 weeks and then we just went for it - she said to count from my negative test.

We did that sperm meet egg plan, started DTD after bleed stopped and then every other night up until the first O on my persona then we held off. I then got my second O the following day and a positive OPK. I started testing 7DPO, I can't help myself and nothing, wasn't until 10ish DPO (didn't temp so not entirely sure) I saw a faint line and they got darker each day. CB yesterday says 1-2 weeks.

It can happen ladies, so keep doing what you're doing..

 

[qwk]

Big congrats Fandabby, sticky dust to you!!!

 

[slg76]

Big Fat Congratulations! So very happy for you!

 

[Petzy]

Fandabby!! HUGE Congrats I am so thrilled for you!! Maybe you are our good luck charm for Christmas hehe That is so great... FX for a sticky bean and H&H 9 months I hope you will keep us company! XO

QWK & Charlie - FX for you both in this 2ww! I am 3DPO today... time is ticking slow lol. I am going to wait to test until 11DPO on Xmas eve morning... I don't want to test earlier I will drive myself nuts. so I will get an FRER for that day I think. Ughhh seems like 10 years away right now lol

 

[tootyfruity]

Congrats fandabby really hope this one sticks!!

Charlie - sounds like u did well! Hope u caught it.

Petzy - I feel for you this wait is horrendous!

I am really struggling. I did a frer yesterday and ic with fmu. not even a hint of a line. I know I'm out. I'm so disappointed but I know it's silly as still haven't had first af. Well maybe next month will be the one, I got bfp with ds and last pregnancy on second month of trying so hoping.for the same again.

Lots of baby dust to everyone x
