Hi all,

I joined a similar thread last month and found it really supportive. It’d be great to hear from others.

We’ve been trying for number 2 for two years now and each month gets more emotionally difficult. Xx

@lucymagoo @SmileyT thank you :) I really hate that it consumes my thoughts but what can we do? Try and not pee on a stick for at least 24 hours would be a start 😂

@LynzP85 what amazon news! How many dpo were you when you got your BFP? Wishing you a very happy and healthy 9 months :) xx

SmileyT · 09/05/2020 20:05

Congrats @LynzP85 🥳 just remember that whatever is going to happen will happen regardless so just look after yourself and try and enjoy every minute when your baby arrives you don't want to look back and wish you'd enjoyed the pg more. Here's to a happy healthy 9 months for you ❤️

@hayho87 could it be an IB? Just a bit of brown spotting can be a good sign, really hoping it is for you xx

@lucymagoo did you test again?

Sussexbysea · 09/05/2020 19:40

@hayho87 I’m not what it could be, but I’m keeping everything crossed for you.

Will you hold off from testing?

Ladies, I've just been to the toilet...tmi but I have really light brown liquid. I'm 11dpo I'm not getting any cramps today but have had them on and off since OV, my boobs seems bigger today. Had the odd pain on and off on them but put it down to wind. According to Flo my af is due on the 14th and it's normally bang on right. Could it be??? 😳 I'm praying it's not AF showing up really early 🙏🏻🙏🏻

Sussexbysea · 09/05/2020 18:28

@hayho87 I think it might even be our third! Keep them coming ladies

@LynzP85 congrats, keep us all updated on how you're getting on! @Sussexbysea is that our second bfp on the thread? Xx

kim160790 · 09/05/2020 16:21

@LynzP85 congrats on the BFP!! X

lucymagoo · 09/05/2020 15:33

Congrats @LynzP85 ! Fingers crossed for you, that's a great strong line Smile

LynzP85 · 09/05/2020 15:18

Today I got 2 FR tests and this is the result from this morning.... just need to hope this little bean sticks, and I think I will be really paranoid in the coming weeks given my January miscarriage.

Testing around 13th May
kim160790 · 09/05/2020 14:37

@SmileyT hope so I had a withdrawal bleed a few days later. I had the coil before but had it removed. Was adamant no more babies for me but turning 30 in July and my OH managed to change my mind x

lucymagoo · 09/05/2020 12:02

@chillichutneysarnie I've had a few friends/people I know more widely the same recently, also in our 30s but I'm so pleased we won't be alone with our journey if/when we do get pregnant as I thought we would be the first in our group. Definitely have little pangs or wishing that was me though so I know how you feelSmile

SmileyT · 09/05/2020 11:34

@Cheesybiscuits01 @lucymagoo @raspberryjamlove sorry it was BFNs this morning but as you have both said it may be too early and as cheesy as it sounds, you really aren't out until AF arrives 🤞

@kim160790 oh only 3 months, I was going to say that your hormones could be out of whack but they probably settled straight away and with 3 DC already I'm sure you know the signs of your body already. Fingers crossed for a little girl to complete your family. I check my CP but do find it changes during the day and after sex it gets higher so find it so hard to track 🤔 x

@chillichutneysarnie good luck for this month and just remember how great it's going to be if you have friends that have been through the pregnancy process recently and if you catch soon it'll be little friends for your little bubba x

chillichutneysarnie · 09/05/2020 10:54

Hi hope ok to join, first cycle of 'proper' trying for first child but have had many previous cycles of not trying to prevent, and symptom spotting like a lunatic! Missed my peak opk but I estimate I'm 8-9 dpo now. At least if I hold off testing until the 13th I'll be more like 12-13dpo which is the longest I could ever hope to hold out for (I have loads of cheapies on hand and I'm rubbish at self control). I do feel different at the mo but I'm refusing to read much into it, work is stressful so it's probably down to that. Two friends of mine recently fell the first month trying and we're all mid 30s so that's... Quite annoying really!

kim160790 · 09/05/2020 10:29

@Dixie17 I hope so 🤞
Is anyone else checking their CP? X

lucymagoo · 09/05/2020 10:11

Sorry to hear @raspberryjamlove in the same boat, fingers crossed it's still early

raspberryjamlove · 09/05/2020 09:59

Hi ladies how are you all doing today? I did a frer this morning at 11dpo BFN boooo. I won't say I'm out until af shows but I think it's looking more unlikely now :(

Dixie17 · 09/05/2020 09:39

@SmileyT thank you- I like your conclusion!

@kim160790 they all sound like good signs..everything crossed xx

kim160790 · 09/05/2020 09:38

@Sussexbysea Thank you and GL to you as well!! I'm not sure when I'll test I may wait for day of AF and see if it comes. I have tests in the house but they are 20mlu cheapies which won't be any good x

Sussexbysea · 09/05/2020 09:29

Hi @kim160790. Good luck in the journey to adding to your brood!

Any idea on when you’ll test?

kim160790 · 09/05/2020 09:27

@SmileyT I was on the pill for around 3 months but decided to ttc for #4. I have 3 boys and now wanting to try for a little girl 🤞but if i end up with another boy I don't mind as long as they are healthy. I've been cramping ever since ovulation with backache and that's never happened before. Either I'll have a bfp or a very painful AF 😞

Skyla01 · 09/05/2020 09:25

@beachbum85 I think at 13dpo your test should be fairly accurate. I can understand wanting to test at the weekend and not before work.

@lucymagoo really sorry about BFN. However I think 10dpo is still early and you could still get a positive in a few days.

@Cheesybiscuits01 sorry for your bfn. There's still time for a positive, esp if your cycle isn't quite back to normal.

I think my AF is due between Sunday and Wednesday, so starting to get a bit nervous.

lucymagoo · 09/05/2020 09:06

@Sussexbysea @Cheesybiscuits01 thanks both, fingers crossed for you two also. Daffodil

Sussexbysea · 09/05/2020 08:04

@lucymagoo sorry to hear that. Some tests are so sensitive and will pick up the tiniest trace of the hormone.

I’ve had a few of these in the past, get a positive and the next day is a negative. Hope you are ok x

Cheesybiscuits01 · 09/05/2020 08:02

@lucymagoo hope you get your BFP this month. Fingers crossed.

Cheesybiscuits01 · 09/05/2020 08:01

Thanks ladies. It's just so annoying. I felt like I might be this month.
