Impatient TTC - Thread 3..or 4?

I had some spotting again (brown this time). This freaks me out. Don't have any cramping. I really hope it was just one time thing.

@Arrierttyclock ahh no sorry to hear AF arrived! Fingers crossed for next month! In the meantime, relax, eat all the food and drink all the drink!

Hope you're okay @CookieMonster3001 got everything crossed for you.

AF just arrived so I'm out. Feel okay about it, I think it was good that I took the test this morning and knew it was negative so I was kind of expecting it but still abit sad!

@SendmetoFlorida haha cant say I can help! Even though I said I wouldnt, I started testing at like 8/9DPO!

@CookieMonster3001

how exciting!!!

2WW feels like forever!! 7DPO now, I've got a clear blue early detection test ready, the calculator thing online said to take it on Tuesday which will be 11DPO. Does that sound about right? It's literally all I ever think about 😂

Morning Ladies,

Thought I would pop on and catch up with you all.

@sunflowersaremyfav93 yay for peak!!! Glad you finally caught it. I think the empty circle might have been because you started testing too late in your cycle so it registered a high as a baseline, hence going from empty to static straight away!Get busy Girl!! You usually ovulate 24 hours after a peak, so I imagine you will ovulate tonight or tomorrow and will start your TWW Sunday-ish.

@sendmetoflorida how is the TWW going?!

@newbieb keeping my fingers crossed for you lovely x

@princesscallie sounds intense, think getting checked in with a dr sounds like a good idea if you are in that much pain! Did you do a test this morning?

@arrierttyclock 12DPO is still quite early and as they say you are not out until AF shows up!

18DPO today and starting to feel anxiety creep in!! I started spotting last time around 23DPO and miscarried at 25DPO so I think next week is going to be a bit of a tough one. Having said that, I do feel much different this time round. Ive had little to no cramping (I cramped really badly the entire time last time) and my boobs hurt a lot more (comes and goes but when its hurting there is no denying it - struggled to sleep last night due to the pain)
I have still been testing everyday and the lines seem to slowly be getting darker (I know the IC's take ages!) I have had 2 dye stealers on FRER and got my 2-3 weeks digital on Wednesday so looking like its going in the right direction. I am hoping I start feeling more positive soon!

@sunflowersaremyfav93 ah yayyyy!! We had DTD quite a lot before and were shattered so we just DTD the day of the peak but not after. Next time tho I'm going to try harder to do it the next day after peak though. I feel the same! We haven't done it since I think he's still recovering 😂

@NewbieB hope you get some answers soon xxx

@sunflowersaremyfav93 good plan. I’m waiting to hear back from the doc. Still been bleeding very lightly- pinky or browny discharge. I am just praying it’s all ok. I’ve been very bloated and constipated then today had to rush to loo. Also felt a bit sick at night time. Hoping these are good signs.

@sunflowersaremyfav93 i bet! I’m no expert but I got my peak in the PM and hadn’t been having sex the days before which is why we did it that night and following morn. I should think today is enough though?

@Arrierttyclock thank you. Hoping everything ok but it’s a waiting game.

@sunflowersaremyfav93 I used those sticks when getting unclear results from other ones and had a static smiley straight away- did it that day and the next and boom. 👍🏼 I would deffo do it again today if poss

@princesscallie oh that sounds uncomfortable hope you're okay!

@sunflowersaremyfav93 the first time you use those sticks it will always come up as low fertility as a base to measure so do it again today and something else might read. I found these so helpful! I didn't get a peak till day 11 and had stopped testing the day before at 10 but a lady on here said she didn't get it to 11 so tried and voila. Good luck!

@NewbieB congratulations! I didn't your post about the bleeding but hopefully it's all okay!

I'm 12 DPO and a BFN. I'm trying not to be disappointed as ifs first cycle ttc and it's only been a month of the pill but you can't help it. Ive felt so so sick all week and super emotional and tired so maybe it's AF about to make an appearance. Very confusing!

Hope everyone's okay!xxx

@sunflowersaremyfav93 sorry I can't help you out on the CB digital. There are lots of reports online of it not picking up peaks peaks people getting pregnant anyway so would go with you regular one. Best of luck and enjoy your night.

So a quick update from me. I was having so many symptoms last weekend and early in the week. A lot of them have disappeared. But last night and again tonight I have an awful pain in my pelvic area. I also have some back pain, very low down, heartburn and feel slightly nauseous. I'm not sure what it is. I am not wondering do I have a kidney infection and have I had it for a while. My period is due on Saturday but that's based on a 29 day cycle. It came on day 27 last month but would usually be 29/30 days. So I've no idea what is going on. I do have some tests here and I think ill do one in the morning and if it's negative I might ring the doctor. I would have a high pain threshold but the pain is very uncomfortable so would like to be seen by the doctor before the weekend. I am also due to go back to work on Monday so will have a lot less free time next week.

@sunflowersaremyfav93 yep that’s it- very early days. Will test again next week and hopefully see the weeks climbing 🤞🏼.

If it’s still flashing as fertile but not peak, perhaps you had a really short peak but still fertile? I find it all a bit confusing.

@SendmetoFlorida thank you! Trying to not get too excited but still hopeful xx

@sunflowersaremyfav93 not sure how much I trust OPKs from what I've read... so just go with how your body feels - you might've peaked overnight or something or had a short surge that you missed? (Not exactly sure how they work!!)
Hopefully if you DTD enough and keep going you will hit fertile window regardless! 🤞

@NewbieB Wow, amazing! Fingers crossed for you! 🤞🤞🤞🤞

I'm now 6DPO and I swear I can feel little twinges but they've probably always been there and I'm just massively overthinking 🤣 2WW is so hard!!!!!!

@sunflowersaremyfav93 it's definitely possible. Also my EWCM always arrived 3-4 days before my peak, so it does vary from person to person.
