TTC #2 (September BFPs)

This is cycle 5 or 6 for us too I think- it's also the first one I think we've properly had our house in order in terms of getting ovulation and DTD dates lined up! Using the Ovia app helped with that... Also first month of taking the Pregnacare conception supplements, but that could just be coincidence.

Ladypug, I did my first test on CD23 and got very faint positive, but my cycles average around 26 days.

Squashy, sorry to hear you're having such a tough time of it this week- really hope this all goes smoothly for you

Ladypug - I think it depends on your cycle length... so for someone with a short cycle, day 24 could be a long way after ovulation and only a few of days before their period due, so a positive may show up.

For me by cycles seem to be average 31 days so day 24 would be too early as it's still 8 days to period... hope that makes sense. You could try testing though? x

Thanks ladies. I'm still feeling quite tentative. I've bought a FRER and will test again tomorrow morning before I allow myself the get carried away.

This is cycle 5, but cycle 2 using OPKs and the first cycle that I think I both pinpointed ovulation properly and we had the opportunity to DTD several times.

I don't know if I've had any symptoms as I've had a really stressful week and insomnia/ no appetite as a result. In fact, I think we were going to have to put trying on hold due to bad news this week, so I have a mixed bag of emotions. Hopefully this is the little ray of light to see us through some tough months ahead. I hope this bean is sticky enough to ride through the stress.

Congrats Boomberang and Squashy! Can you remind us newbies what cycles you were on? This seems a lucky thread glad I jumped on

Hey everyone, what cycle day did you test on? Is it too early to test on day 24?

Wow! What a lucky lucky thread! Well done to the BFPs!!!!

Thanks ladies! I really had counted myself out- was so upset and down over the weekend thinking it may never happen for me. Maybe it was the hormones exaggerating the anxiety? Am still feeling very cautious to see how this goes, but such a relief to see a line there.

Nubian, no real symptoms as yet although I have been feeling a bit pre-crampy like AF is on the way.
I really hope you find out either way soon- the worst thing is not knowing.

Keeping everything crossed for everyone still waiting - this time and for next cycle!

Thanks ladydolly I'm really interested in acupuncture and reflexology and an going to look into if I'm out this month,hope it helps you x

Hi Nubian sorry youre in this position in limbo waiting,it's torturous:( x

June I'm sorry it came, hope you're ok :( x

Boomerang & squashy yes I think ** congratulations may be in order...!? x

I've been stupid and tested this morn only to get a negative, but I'm still In limbo because af not due til tues so I also know it could be too early. 0r am I kidding myself?!

Karpuzkiz did you say you were testing negative before you got a faint positive, how far off af was that?! X

Positive for both you ladies! I see it clear as day. Congratulations Squashy and Boomerang. Wow this is definately a lucky thread. Very happy for you. Now what were your symptoms ladies??

Sorry about af June.

At cd 38 and no sign of af and and bfn can I dare hope that I ovulated very late and that I will get a late bfp?! Feels almost cruel.to have such hopes.

Looks like a BFP to me Boomerang, congratulations!

Congrats to the BFPs!!
Well no sign of af for me, CD 28 and the last time I stopped the pill I was 28 day cycles again right away.
Weirdly feeling no symptoms of AF today either, I've been crampy and feeling nausea on and off since Saturday so I was gearing myself up for AF. Still am, I think I may try and hold off testing until Sunday or Monday. My cycles could be longer. I definitely felt a pain that was either ovulation or late implantation last week so I know something is happening there. I just hate being in limbo!!

Ooh, sorry I totally missed those pics above- I see lines too Squashy!

That looks more positive than mine boomerang. I guess we have to wait a few days and retest. Fingers crossed for us both!

Morning, just popping in to update as I have now re-tested, and I didn't do anything silly like dismantling the test this time! And it looks ... Positive?! Pretty clear but faint line this time... Can't quite believe it!
Should I test again in a couple of days? AF would be due today on CD26

Looks like a line tonne, congratulations!

Af arrived a day early today so I'm out this month. Will pop back in to see how everyone is getting on and join the October thread. Good luck all still waiting.

I see lines too squashy!

Looks like lines to me! I got my faint positive on a Thursday and I wasn't due until weekend!

Another photo here. Excuse the shadow, too early to take a photo!

Morning ladies, what do you think? Evaps or faint positives? I am due on either sat or Sunday. The top line came through slightly after the testing window (approx 6/7 mins, rather than 4.) The bottom one came through on time, I've used that test before and it's only ever be whiter than white.
Also my pee was a funny colour.
Am I imagining things?

Nice that you are still lurking Karpuzkiz and crossing fingers for everyone else to get their bfp.

Hey mamoffrankie and prosecco I'm also in 2ww, can't test till Monday at earliest. Feels like it's really dragging but I don't think it's our month, going hell for leather for an October bfp!

Sorry to hear that Impatient. Ofcourse we remember you. ..you are the one who brought us all together. Sad about your loss. We will Continie to support each other on here and hoping for all to get their bfp soon.

Well I'm still in Limbo over here. CD37! CRAZY! ! What is going on😥😢

3dpo here too Lopey, trying not to think too far ahead id be very shocked if I got bfp first cycle

Shit news impatient - I was so happy for you. Hopefully you weren't be here too long this time.

So, acupuncture was ok, lots of questions and she was pleased to see my chart and said everything looks good. I've had some digestion issues since having dd so we're working on that and she said I need more relaxation and switch off time (who doesn't??) and thinks the delay could be just my body settling down after the coil and that's what she'll help me with. TBH, a lot of it was advice for DP, he needs to de-stress and stop drinking... not sure that will happen. He's no boozer but he'd never cut it out all together. She also said get a sperm count/quality test since they're not too expensive, just to check.

Day 15 and no sign of ov, still just flashing smileys. Never been this late before so I guess I do need some help regulating my cycle!

Good luck to those coming to the end of the TWW.

@MamOfFrankie I'm waiting to test, I came off the pill at the start of August so I also don't know what my cycle will do. I used to be 28 days so going by that af is due tomorrow. Did a test this morning and bfn. But I'm holding out till the weekend now and seeing if af shows. Argh! Kinda want af to show so I can track things properly, hate guessing!
