Hi all,

Now in my TWW. We have been trying for DC #2 since October 19 and I had a chemical early March.

I usually use Clearblue Dig Ovulation tests but this month I just used cheapie OPK's.

Fingers and toes crossed 🤞🏻

Would love you hear all of your TTC stories.

Hi everyone. AF due in 5 days and I'm convinced it will come :( had a few twinges 6/7dpo but I'm not hopeful. Also been very emotional the last week

KSI88 · 19/04/2020 11:10

@incywincyspiders You're not out until AF shows so fingers, toes and everything else crossed for you lovely 😊 💕

@KSI88 and yes was going to try to wait til Friday but I may break and test from tomorrow 😂 just cos I'm a sucker for a line progression so on the small chance I'm not out, it might actually make me feel more in control 😂

incywincyspiders · 19/04/2020 11:07

@KSI88 No my nipples went back to normal too 😂 I think they were just swollen and I think they were sore post ovulation. I literally have no symptoms now at all 😢 pretty sure I'm out. Just want Friday to hurry up so I can test.

KSI88 · 19/04/2020 11:03

@incywincyspiders Ohh I really hope so Incy. Have your symptoms completely gone? You had said about your nipples being darker? This TWW is torture at times! So many symptoms could mean anything. Wish there was something that was really obvious so we knew for definite 🙈 Are you still going to hold off until 24th to test?

@Popcat120 Hi! Of course you can. I'm either 7 or 8dpo today. Sending lots of baby dust x

@Olivia2020 Please don't be disheartened. I know how you are feeling. I don't want to get my hopes up to be disappointed again. I remember my cousin had announced her pregnancy just after I found out I was pregnant and then I had an early miscarriage. It was a horrible feeling and I remember thinking 'Why me?' not that I'd have wished it was her I was just so sad that she was going to be able to hold her baby and mines had gone. Here we are though, another month so maybe this will be it. You're not out until AF arrives and I've read online that so many women can have some symptoms that disappear before their BFP.

My sore boobs have basically gone now - 9dpo so I'm seek that as a sign it won't be my month ☹️just found out my partners best friends wife is 4 months pregnant too! I hate being jealous of peoples happy news 😩

Popcat120 · 19/04/2020 10:44

Hello!
Can i join?
I'm 4dpo... First month ttc number 2!

incywincyspiders · 19/04/2020 10:23

@KSI88 I have a good feeling that this will be your month 🙂 I don't know why I just do 🙂

I literally have zero symptoms. AF due on Friday (well maybe not as I'm going on my withdrawal bleed). Don't think this is my month but that's not surprising as it's only month 1.

KSI88 · 19/04/2020 09:50

@GinIsTheOnlyTonic. Thanks for replying. Feeling better this morning. Hoping it was just hormones! We've been trying for 6 months and you've said you've been trying for 4.5 years - I feel so silly now. Really really hope this is your month 💕

OP posts:
GinIsTheOnlyTonic · 18/04/2020 21:35

@KSI88 really sorry you're feeling that way and I totally understand where you're coming from. I too fell easily with my first and then here I am 4.5 years of trying for my second. It comes in waves for me. Some months I'm fine and like what will be will be and then others it overwhelms me. I hope the bath and early night and a bit of self care help tonight. Be thinking of you and have my fingers crossed for you.

KSI88 · 18/04/2020 19:29

Ladies I'm really emotional tonight. The past six months of TTC have been so hard. With my first child I fell pregnant first attempt. I didn't think it would be as easy this time but having had a miscarriage a couple of months ago it's soul destroying. Seeing those lines appear and getting stronger then losing it, it's really cruel. I know I'm not the only one, it's just how I'm feeling today.

I'm so up and down today, I hope it's early pregnancy hormones. Bath and an early night I think! Good luck ladies 💕

My OH keeps asking if I've missed a period yet... Bless him, he's quite excited about this time, I don't think he was so sure the First time round!

Wishing luck for anyone testing this weekend!
I can't test til next weekend really! THts ages away!

gingerglitter4ever · 18/04/2020 16:56

@GinIsTheOnlyTonic I may test tomorrow, but maybe not because I do t have any FRERs at home, so I feel like I may be wasting the test if I do it too early 😐 we’ll see if I can hold off until Tuesday or Wednesday (AF due Tuesday)

Maybe I’ll order some FRERs ? 🙈

DontStandSoClose · 18/04/2020 13:58

I've fingers crossed for you all!! Incidentally when I was having my second child (he was the result of sex the day my period was due and was a little sooner than we intended!!) I tested a few days after my period was due as it hadn't appeared but it was negative. Two weeks late I tested again I think a combination of friends telling me to and I think I'd felt sick maybe or something, anyway it was positive.

So it is possible to get a late positive but I wasn't tracking ovulation and didn't realise I'd ovulated 2 weeks late. It wasn't until I had my scan and the date was moved back 2 weeks that we realised.

Aluasen · 18/04/2020 12:14

@MissAR yeah, I took another free today and it is the faintest of lines, more faint that the one I took yesterday so I don't know what is going on 😂 I'll wait a couple days until I get to 14dpo and try again

MissAR · 18/04/2020 11:42

@sakuramiyagi so sorry😞 it's annoying when AF decide to play with your mind and show up late.But you know what they say 'you're not out until af arrives' have my fingers crossed for a late bfp🤞🏻💕

sakuramiyagi · 18/04/2020 11:36

AF was due today but has not appeared yet, which puts me at 13DPO. Tested yesterday as per Ovia recommendation and got a BFN (on cheapie strip test and an FRER).

Tested today with a cheapie and it was a BFN again.

I'm pretty certain that I am out this month but a tiny part of me is still clinging to the hope that I will get a BFP tomorrow.

MissAR · 18/04/2020 11:34

@Aluasen did you manage to take another test?😍

MissAR · 18/04/2020 11:23

I will be testing tomorrow at 10dpo...I just can't wait anymore.Today I woke up angry, everything around annoys me so I think that's AF letting me know she's coming.
Anybody testing this weekend?

DontStandSoClose · 18/04/2020 10:39

@KSI88 even better if you don't know where they are!

KSI88 · 18/04/2020 10:30

@DontStandSoClose My hubby has said he's going to hide them 😁 Lockdown isn't helping. I think I'll potter about in the garden today to keep myself busy!

OP posts:
DontStandSoClose · 18/04/2020 10:22

@KSI88 lock your tests in the boot of your car or put them in your garage, stop yourself testing early! If they aren't to hand you can't pee on them Grin

heybb · 18/04/2020 10:20

@DontStandSoClose Congratulations! Hopefully the digi will help sink it in 😃

@GinIsTheOnlyTonic Fx for lots more bfps in here! Little early for me still.. Af is due 25th and am trying to hold out till 22nd at least. When are you testing?

DontStandSoClose · 18/04/2020 10:17

You might just be testing a little early like you say, I wouldn't be too disheartened just yet. I think your age gaps are probably a little more manageable than ours (4 and 2)!

I feel fine thanks, completely normal don't feel anything yet, I think I need to see words to believe it really.

I've been feeling a bit Confused reading things on here this morning, mumsnet really doesn't like people trying to get pregnant at the moment "irresponsible" is what I've read on other threads it was aibu though to be fair aka come rip me to shreds! I have to admit I won't be sharing our news at 12 weeks as we normally would, I think we'll hold off as long as possible, I haven't looked pregnant until 20+ weeks before.

KSI88 · 18/04/2020 10:14

I'm either 6 or 7dpo today. My Ovia app is recommending I test in 5 days. 5 long days! 🙈
