9dpo and cramping ttc driving myself mad hoping this is baby number 2 on the way

@Nls90x

Out of the game 😰😰

Hope all you ladies are well today congrats @clkx xx

Ah congrats @clkx that’s brilliant!

Hi @Mrschips07 ye it’s pink I’ve just done another clear blue and it’s a positive!!! Ahhhhhhhhh

@clkx looks like a v faint line to me, the dye is dark so hard to tell if there's colour. Is it pink?

HELP
is there a line? Isn’t there a line? Is it a shadow line? Am I going mad? AF due tomorrow and been cramping bad the past few days.

Fingers crossed for us both!

@LaceyMermaid hi! Been trying so hard to stay off the internet because I have heard so many horror stories about ttc after mirena but then on this site I have found a lot of people who have had a BFP before getting a single AF after removal so good luck let’s see what happens!

@Gep2831 hi! I’m a fellow Mirena coil removal person 🤣 got mine out on 2nd but had no bled whatsoever yet so actually for me it’s been really handy to do temp and opks this month so at least I think I ovulated according to them. I’m a bit in the dark otherwise so it’s good you had a withdrawal bleed (it was probably a withdrawal bleed as that’s what should happen a few days after having it removed).
That said I’ve not told my DH I’m doing temps and opks so he’s nicely in the dark! We’re 38 though so no time to lose really

Hi guys, hope it would be okay if I joined this thread as I have been following it and I really hope that you guys get your BFP. This is my first month ttc ever, got my Mirena coil out earlier this month and had what could potentially have been my AF a few days later which would put my ovulation date as today (if I am even ovulating at all yet!!). Don’t really want to use OPK or temping yet as have agreed with my partner to just “see how it goes” for the first few months but obviously I’m already obsessed haha! Been crazily overanalysing every symptom wondering if maybe I could have ovulated earlier or just as it got taken out etc driving myself mad. Have told myself I am not to test until it’s been at least 4 weeks since I last bled.

@Nls90x that's a cool temp! Are you sure?

I'm 9dpo today, thought I saw the faint shadow of a line on an IC but wonder if I'm convincing myself. Feel nauseous and very tired, got a constant ache in my uterus and tons of cm

BFN for me too this morning 🤦🏼‍♀️
I thought I saw a line... then I didn’t.... then I did.... then I didn’t haha my mind is well and truly playing tricks on me. I’ve had cramps the past few days and now started with a dull ache in my lower left back. 11DPO for me today too.

First day I feel af I think no test today!!
Will just see what happens.......
Looking forward to the next lot of posts your all keeping my sanity so thanks!!!! Xx

Morning! Caved and did a frer- stark white. 11 dpi here so now feel like it’s not my month!
I have a really full feeling in my uterus 🤣 can’t describe it any other way. No idea if that’s good or bad!

Morning ladies!!!!! Xxxx

@TJ17 That definitely makes sense then. You probably ovulated 6 days late and would probably have had a 34 day cycle if it hadn't been for conceiving. Our bodies like to throw curve balls occasionally 😄

@Curiosity101 actually yes they put me back 6 days! I've never actually thought of that before 😂 and it was when AF was 6 days late to the day I got my first BFP. Spooky!

Due date from last AF was 27/8 but they changed it to 2/9 at my dating scan.

Deffo could be something in that. I never tracked ovulation with DC1 or 2 but had a typical 28 day cycle with both.

@TJ17 Did you not get put back on dates at your dating scan? I'd always assumed that when people got 'late' positives that it was probably mostly due to ovulating later than usual. But that's always been a guess more than anything else.

Hi all! Just been catching up. I'm 8dpo today, I peed on a IC this morning and got the faintest shadow of a line, and then I got the same when I tried again this evening. Not going to celebrate yet, but its given me some hope!

I also wanted to share this graphic from another thread, don't give up hope if you get to 12DPO and don't have your BFP yet!

@TJ17 thanks. I didn’t even realise with my other dc you could do any of this or test early! 😊 luckily I fell quickly with al log them but I am a lot older now so need to be more accurate!

Yeah DC1 I'm pretty sure I tested positive pretty much from day of missed AF! But 2nd time took ages to get even the faintest line. Same cycle length and everything so I thought it really strange! Asked midwife and she said it happens but not anything to worry about (was worried the pregnancy wasn't "strong enough" but I'm now 35 weeks so was clearly fine 😊)

I remember the frustration, angst and disappointment of each BFN and every time AF arrived though so really sympathise with you all.

Each month feels sooo long!

Good luck all 🙏🏼❤️

Thanks @TJ17 that’s good to know. I have no idea when I tested with other dc but definitely after AF was due
