Married now for 9years so yeah looking to start a lil family.
Currently 2dpo and wait is already horrendous and symptom spotting is in place 😂

Hi dolly
Welcome 💋
They rapids are picking up stronger as they are more sensitive and also if your getting faints on the other then it’s picking up hcg- and I’ve heard of a faulty test but not batches so I’d say fingers crossed your pregnant x

Hi loves,

I hope you are well? I hope you don't mind if I jump on but I need some TTC buddies too :-(

I come baring flowers Flowers lol

SO I DTD on 20th Jan I miscarried 23/12 (completed and hcg gone 2wks after) so unsure of my DPO etc but i'm guessing I potentially conceived 22nd / 23rd?

anyway I stupidly starting testing last week from the 28th (8 days after) by the 30th I started seeing quite prominent feint lines BUT these lines were on FIRST RESPONSE RAPID RESULTS I've done about 6 of these and lines getting stronger AS WELL AS Clear Blue Faster results - so both tests show up result within a minute.

however... First response and clear blue EARLY "6 days before missed period" are both giving me lines but superrrr feint.

any ideas??? as I feel like i'm going nuts here... Digital is still negative but I mean I technically probably aren't even 14 days yet.

advise advise advise!

Thank you xx

I really hope that it is.

Although last month the same happened to me and I was sure that it was implantation. But I've my fingers crossed for u x

Lammoshay · 04/02/2019 15:53

Ladies need your advice.
Just wiped and had the faintest of pink on the tissue- possible implantation.
Will upload pic and then delete in few hours- sorry if it’s tmi 🙈

@shewhojuggles it's a struggle I tell you, knackered most nights but it's a quick in and out lol get the job done haha! It best work this month.

These apps are confusing me though as earlier the glow app said I'm in fertile week ovulation in 3 days, now it's changed to tomorrow as the first day and ovulation day next Saturday :/ the ovia app says weds to Monday next week.
Going to make sure I do opks and they will give me a defo.

Shewhojuggles · 03/02/2019 20:12

I totally get that @louise392. My eldest begged for a sibling for years. How do you find time to dtd every other day with three? That is amazing!

Louise392 · 03/02/2019 14:36

Hi @Shewhojuggles I am ttc #4 and its so much harder than the first three, like you i had DS young who is 16 in a couple of weeks, middle DS is nearly 14 and DD is 6, i feel bad for her that she has no playmates as she has 2 older brothers and all they want to do is play xbox so she is like an only child, one of the reasons we want to have another for her :)

Ive been doing OPK's for the past few days and they have faint lines, this mornings was a bit darker so must be heading in the right direction and i have a lot of EWCM today so we are dtd every other day.

Shewhojuggles · 03/02/2019 12:22

Thank you @lammoshay make sure he’s getting plenty of rest so he can keep up!!

Oh @hopeful31 fx this is your month.

hopeful31 · 03/02/2019 09:34

Also started using fertility friend app and paid for the upgrade. It's so accurate and worth it

hopeful31 · 03/02/2019 09:30

@Lammoshay it's not over till af shows her face. Loads of people have no cramps. Hoping u get ur bfp.
@Shewhojuggles Good luck. Ttc really is an emotional rollercoaster.
Finally feeling better so will be dtd from today on. Might actually get to try the pre seed lube. I'm in my fertile window but not due to ovulate until the 10th so hope I'm still in with a good enough chance this month. It's really all I want. I can't think of anything else. People say don't get obsessed. But how on earth can u not get obsessed when all u see are newborns and pregnant women

Lammoshay · 02/02/2019 23:21

Welcome shewhojuggles and I say good on you! And fingers crossed you get a sticky bean and AF doesn’t show up 🤞

I’m back to feeling normal-
No more cramps, reckon I’m out but I swear next month I’m gonna make hubby sweat 😂😂😂😂😂

Can I join too?

Age: 34
TTC #3
Cycle 1

I have two beautiful kids already so feel like a bloody selfish cow for wanting more. DD is almost 15, I feel pregnant with her accidentally when I was young. Found motherhood and being a single parent really hard and swore no more babies. Met DH in 2012 and we spent a couple of years not ‘not trying’ then I found out I was pregnant with DS who is now almost 17m. When he was about 5 minutes old I just knew I didn’t want him to be my last. We’ve had a really tough year, DH has been seriously ill and for a while said he didn’t want any more in case he wasn’t around. At Christmas he agreed we should start trying. Feels so weird to be a mum of two but this is my first time actively trying. AF due on Wed ish. Trying not to think about it too much...

Louise392 · 02/02/2019 09:19

Thanks :)
That's a good sign if it's not usual for you, could be a bean trying to implant :) fingers crossed x

Lammoshay · 01/02/2019 22:27

Yes the other lines needs to be as strong as or darker than the test line.
I’m having cramping tonight which is not like me at all. X

Louise392 · 01/02/2019 17:58

Ooh not long for you then @Lammoshay, I started opk this morning it had a strong test line and a faint other line, says that is a negative until it's as strong as the test line or stronger is that right?

Lammoshay · 01/02/2019 15:34

5dpo if I’ve worked it out right x

@Viennawaits4you have you tried a clear blue digital? They are normally fairly bang on. Another woman on here was getting BFN but was a few days late. Took a clear blue and it was positive.

@hopeful31 hopefully you feel better soon!

@Lammoshay hopefully it is a sign!! Flowers

DP is home this evening and I am already ready to DTD. I am so bloody horny!! (Prob TMI soz) but I think it is cause we are TTC I am worse than normal! Blush

hopeful31 · 01/02/2019 07:06

@Lammoshay when is af due??

@Viennawaits4you do another test.

We haven't dtd yet. I've been under the weather

Louise392 · 31/01/2019 22:49

Are you usually pretty regular @Vienna? 13 days is very late, my last period was more like light bleeding/brown blood for 3 days and that was 3 days late, how much spotting have you had?

Lammoshay · 31/01/2019 22:04

I ain’t gonna lie but my nips are proper tender tonight!

OP posts:
Lammoshay · 31/01/2019 19:47

Have you tried testing with an early response Vienna?

OP posts:
Viennawaits4you · 31/01/2019 19:08

@Louise392 discounting the spotting, 13 days.

Louise392 · 31/01/2019 18:22

How many days late are you now @viennawaits4you?

Viennawaits4you · 31/01/2019 17:46

So had another bfn on Tuesday, and some spotting yesterday, but that’s stopped again.
