Hello ladies, my 2we has just started at due around the 15th anyone else? Second cycle for baby number 2.
My son is 3 and was conceived straight after coming off the pill so the whole "trying" for a baby is new to me! Haven't really got on with the ovulation tests never got a strong second line so presuming it passed before I tested! X

Oh my gosh @civic I’m so sorry to hear that. How did your scan go, hope you got the answers you needed. 🌸No my af came on and it was the worst one ever😭😭 the pain was so unreal and I was on co-codamol just to cope with it. I’m taking it easy this month, I’m not doing opk tests and dtd every other day or when we fancy it. Ttc was starting to get regimental so we are sort of trying without the added pressure of trying lol.

@Flossytots hi, sadly it didn't end well for me, 3 hours of passing clots over the weekend & horrific backpain & sickness landed me at the hospital. Awaiting scan today to check there's nothing else going on & then it's roll on October for us. Did you do another test for fun?

Flossytots · 24/09/2018 10:53

Hi @civic how have your been? any update, did you test again and what was the outcome? ✨✨✨

civicxx · 19/09/2018 23:38

I'm sorry @TTC73 wishing you lots of baby dust for next cycle! 

@Flossytots haha just for fun! Sorry AF got you!! Fingers crossed for next month!

Looks like I'm one of the last to be waiting for AF, tested negative on Sunday but was due AF today!

@dosmummas ooo exciting times, today (Wednesday) would be 5DPO :)

Flossytots · 18/09/2018 20:16

@dosmummas welcome 👋 has your partner been experience any other symtoms.

It seems I’m also out this month, AF got me however this cycle is very light so might do another test in a week just for fun 😂🤪

TTC73 · 17/09/2018 03:29

I'm out I think.
Just did another test and it was a BFN Sad didn't expect to conceive first time with clomid as most don't but its still disappointing especially when i had all the signs and such bad nausea the past few days Hmm onto cycle 39 for us probably just going to ask to be put forward for IVF at this point.

dosmummas · 16/09/2018 21:38

Hi girls, me and my partner (same sex) had our first ever AI on Friday the 14th from our gorgeous donor. Would this make make my partner (who is going to carry) 2dpo or 3dpo? This is our very first attempt, we only had one insemination. AF is due 27th, honoured to be on this TWW with you. Lots of love and hope to all of you.

Extra information: 32 year olds, my partner in previous relationships has conceived and miscarried x3 once with twins. Every month she has cramping on both ovaries and has quite moderate spotting around ovulation. Currently she is only taking pre-Natals and small dose aspirin we used some preseed during insem as she has never produced much CM. Due to her history of MC she is very superstitious about symptom spotting and getting ahead of ourselves. But I have to say either it's all psychological but she has had constant mild cramping since yesterday, no energy and fatigued, gassy and peeing no joke, every 15 to 20 minutes. I know it's waaaaay too early but it's nice to notice a few things out of the norm for her. Flowers Smile

I'm waiting for my order of FRERs to arrive ordered 4 of them to have on hand but not going to test again until after 23rd as it feels like AF is coming Sad don't know if its my mind playing tricks on me but it just feels imminent. Ive googled my CM and it said its a sign of pregnancy but i don't know

No that sounds like a weird evap line. Id try a different brand 😊 x

civicxx · 16/09/2018 11:19

@TTC73 did you do another one today? Never heard of a horizontal line before!!

I stuck to mocktails last night & tested negative this morning on FTER 4 days before AF due, gutted, just waiting for AF & next month now! :)

TTC73 · 15/09/2018 21:41

has anyone used the Lloyds pharmacy own tests ? Did one today and got 2 lines but one was sideways instead straight Confused nothing on the box about what that means

civicxx · 15/09/2018 13:32

I'm still kicking myself over having a drink this evening or not. If your TTC are you ladies just not drinking point blank atall?

Kimbles18 · 15/09/2018 12:16

I don't know if this will help any of you but when I tested I got a much better result later in the day, I drink a lot through the night so my first morning wee wasn't much use! Grin

Sorry @MrsC87 hugs to you & good luck for cycle 3!! 

@Flossytots I've never heard of a white line must be something up with the test, hope it's hiding a positive for you!! Have a lovely weekend!!

I'm 9DPO today & day 23 of a 27 day cycle so technically think I could have tested with FRER this morning but I woke up busting & forgot hahaha, oops!! Going to try and hold off closer to AF being due!

MrsC87 · 15/09/2018 11:40

Thankyou @Flossytots I'm okay though as it's very early on in the game so want to remain positive 😊
Got my fingers crossed for you, keep us updated!

Flossytots · 15/09/2018 11:01

Aww @MrsC I’m so sorry. Sending you virtual hugs.

Just a bit of an update: so I took the FRER test this morning and within seconds a white line came up then the control line. I’ve never experienced this and when I put it up to the light I can see a line but it’s not pink. Since then I’ve continued to have sharp pains on my left side. They are very sporadic so will give it another bash either on Sunday or after Af which is due in 2days.

Hope you all have a great weekend. I’m off to see my mother bear for some spoiling 😂😂

MrsC87 · 15/09/2018 10:27

So the witch arrived 🙄 onto cycle 3 I go!
Hope you ladies are all okay and have a lovely weekend 😊

civicxx · 14/09/2018 21:33

@TTC73 wishing you a sticky bean!!
@MrsC87 Yes I agree with flossy your not out untill the which herself makes her appearance! 
@Flossytots I think you've got a good chance testing 2 days before AF is due, with my first I got a positive the day of my missed so I imagine 2 days before I'd of got one also but just faint! If not, like you say just a few days untill you can do another one!!

Think I'll be the last one too post their pee stick result haha!

Flossytots · 14/09/2018 19:24

@Ttc73 congratulations woohooo 🎉🎉
@civic I don’t think I can last till af on Monday to test hehehe. I’ve been having cramps and pinching pain all day today again, so going to test tomorrow morning and if bfn then waiting till after af to test 🤞
@MrsC I’m sorry about the bfn but you aren’t out till the witch arrives.

Sending baby dust to you all ✨✨✨✨

MrsC87 · 14/09/2018 18:29

So it was a BFN. No idea what my body is doing, just want AF to arrive now so I get on it next month 😝

Kimbles18 · 14/09/2018 18:01

I'm sure everything will be fine my first positive was barely visable, think that was about 9 dpo, I just had a feeling and was feeling sickly which I'm putting down to implantation because it's passed now. Had mild cramping since 9dpo too, still there. I'm due tomorrow so fingers cross all is well. I've done another internet cheapie after work and there's a good line there. It was barely there yesturday but good on the others so my hormones must be increasing nicely Smile baby dust to everyone. X

TTC73 · 14/09/2018 17:49

Ive ordered 4 more FRER tests to test over the next week till after AF due date on 23rd the one i took earlier was a Lloyds pharmacy early one cos nowhere stocks FREers locally

TTC73 · 14/09/2018 17:47

Im not convinced its real paranoid AF will turn up but my nausea is so bad right now and im having cramps which is worrying me as i usually get those before AF Sad
Just telling myself if its not this month we can try again with clomid next month

civicxx · 14/09/2018 16:36

@TTC73 CONGRATULATIONS!! this is such a positive thread this is amazing! I'm so happy for all you ladies!! 
@MrsC87 oooo exciting, let us know! Hope it's a BFP for you!!

MrsC87 · 14/09/2018 15:16

I'm testing after work @civicxx on a frer. Spotting in and off but seems different to my normal spotting in the run up to af!
