Thread 2!
Will try to tag everyone who was active recently in the old thread, but sorry if I missed anyone. And if you're one of the many who got BFPs in the old thread and you're currently wading through the dark depths of morning sickness, feel free to ignore us 😊

@EllyNC 5pm! Will drop a message on here later. I won't lie i'm actually a bit nervous but let's see what happens.

Hope everyone else ok!

EllyNC · 14/01/2021 13:25

When is your scan @Cc7750 x

EllyNC · 13/01/2021 19:49

Yayyyy @Pudding01 great news welcome to your (hopefully last!) TWW!! No harm in carrying on a bit of sexytimeeeee
I’m also hungry all month round 🤣🤣🤣
Feeling a little funny about food atm tho, still getting waves of nausea and keep finding I’m hungry but don’t fancy ANYTHING.

Pudding01 · 13/01/2021 16:13

Oh, well that's buggered that theory 😂
I honestly have no idea, good for not obsessing. Bad for no control lol I'll just keep having sexy time and hope for the best! Either way I'm on cd17. So good that i won't be stressing on my bday on Monday x

Yeah, aren't you meant to be hungrier in the luteal phase because progesterone raises your metabolism? I'm like Cc7750 though - hungry all the time Grin
Glad that you've O'd though, Pudding! Hope you're having a nice chilled out month xx

Cc7750 · 13/01/2021 15:50

@Pudding01 I never had loss of appetite when I ovulated, jealous! I am hungry 30 days of the month ha!

Pudding01 · 13/01/2021 15:42

Fingers crossed for tomorrow @Cc7750, but looks like a strong line. Very interesting about that theory!

Good luck @unCliche!

I think I've ovulated. So hard with no tracking! CM is creamy rather than dry, whatever that means! And mood lower with loss of appetite, so maybe that's the shift of hormones x

Good luck tomorrow @Cc7750! Sure it will be just fine :) Haven't a clue what you're talking about with a hook effect, but from what you said it seems to be okay!

@unCliche I bet it will be ME who's the last one standing! Good on you waiting until 14dpo - definitely save yourself a lot of heartache that way. Hope this cycle is the one for you!

Cc7750 · 13/01/2021 13:29

@EllyNC Yeap they say when you get past a certain point and your HCG levels raise it can confuse the test, so you dilute with water so it can pick up the real levels... madness isn’t it!

EllyNC · 13/01/2021 13:26

@Cc7750 you just dilute with water??? Looks lovely and strong, try not to worry! If the spotting was anything bad you’d have bled more by now surely?
Looking forward to hearing about your scan🙂

Cc7750 · 13/01/2021 08:42

Morning, so I got all nervous after bleeding and decided to do a test and it was a weaker line... Obvs I got nervous so tried to hook effect, just sharing as it’s quite interesting. The top test in the pic is 100% urine and the bottom is 50/50.. they say if you dilute more it can even get darker. I’m not doing more as tomorrow is the scan and I need to just wait.. But if anyone ever gets the same try it before you panic

Hehe yeah @HerringGull only 7dpo today. I think I'm going to do a you and wait until at least 14dpo to test.
Good news about your impending ovulation! A short cycle is great too! Means you won't have too long to wait before testing!

Gosh there's only three of us left!! I'm fully expecting to be the last one standing 😁

Oh wait, unCliche, it was only yesterday you said you were 6dpo, duh! Thought it was a few days ago. Time is funny just now!

@Pudding01 have you O'd yet?
@unCliche you must be getting pretty far along your LP... are you testing soon or holding out?
I've not O'd yet but relieved to see fertile cm so it'll be a 28-30 day cycle rather than a 31+ cycle. Long cycles are a pest when TTC!

EllyNC · 12/01/2021 14:40

@unCliche that’s fab!! Lovely positive news! ☺️

unCliche · 11/01/2021 16:58

@HerringGull Haha yes! Positive thinking only!

HerringGull · 11/01/2021 16:55

Don't think it's any less worrying this time round tbh. Lots of people have secondary infertility so just because you conceived once doesn't necessarily mean you can again. But I'm trying not to think like that!

OP posts:
unCliche · 11/01/2021 16:20

@HerringGull I completely get what you mean! I'm on cycle 4 and I've basically concluded it's never going to happen! I think it's worse when you've never been pregnant before! You must have been freaking out before your first pregnancy??
@Cc7750, let's hope sooner rather than later 😆

Cc7750 · 11/01/2021 15:58

@unCliche that’s great news and also to be pregnant by Easter, that’s no time to wait! 👏🏼

HerringGull · 11/01/2021 15:27

@unCliche I'm sure you will be! 😊 Seems like a long time to wait but it will fly by too fast and then you'll be vomiting every day and wishing you could have wine...
I don't feel anything much about this cycle tbh. This is month five and seems soooo long. I remember thinking three months was a lot last time 🤣 Sure it will happen though, just taking its time!

OP posts:
unCliche · 11/01/2021 15:22

@HerringGull Thanks for asking BTW! I was freaking out last night, telling DH that the universe was punishing me with infertility 😂
When I went for my appointment (on CD15) I hadn't ovulated yet but was about to. So we DTD that evening. Hopefully it's enough! I'm 6DPO today so not too long to wait anymore. Doctor reckons we'll be pregnant by Easter. Let's hope so!!

How are things going with you?? You feeling good about this cycle?

HerringGull · 11/01/2021 15:06

That's great @unCliche! It really is (even though it's annoying)! Did you manage to DTD at the right time to catch the egg this month?

OP posts:
unCliche · 11/01/2021 14:59

@HerringGull Annoyingly, DH and I are the picture of health so I no longer have anything that I can stress over - which isn't fair. What else will I do with my time... Jokes aside, I have lots of eggs and DH's sperm is fine.
