Hi everyone! We are currently trying for baby #3 This is cycle 2 and CD5. Period last week was shorter and lighter than normal, really confused me as its never been like that, did 2 tests but both BFN so trying again this month :) Not putting too much pressure on it, just going with the flow and if it happens it happens, trying not to stress too much about it 🙈 anyone else TTC this month? Hoping I can chat in here with people doing the same ❤

@Onehotmess I took another one today too! Lol! I'm like you no self control! Haha

@Milly238 aw why do we do it to ourselves?? Just setting ourselves up for disappointment testing too early 🙈 aw good luck for the weekend!! Hope we all get our BFP!! ❤

So I took another one this morning, bfn BUT I'm convinced I seen some sort of line, but also is probably just my mind playing tricks on me, it was one of those lines that would never show in a picture and only I could see it looking really close, almost like the outline of where the second line would be? But again 100% think I'm making it up because I know that's where the second line would be so I've made myself see it 😂 deffo didn't show the other half cause he would say I'm seeing things 😂 but now it's made me want to test tomorrow again instead of the weekend to see if my pretend line makes a show again 😂😂 going crazy!! Boobs are still sore today, banging headache and feeling rotten but that could all be AF so who knows!

@tuxedocat oh were only 1 day apart 🙊 I've never had that, but with pregnancy you never know lol!! Good luck with testing on the day you're doing it :)

@Hxoxox congratulations!! 💕

11dpo today. Still so gassy and maybe some sore boobs, I’m not sure!
I’ve woken up with the worst neck pain ever this morning. My pillow is a pain (waiting for a replacement so I know it gives me a slight ache anyway) but today I can hardly move my neck right 😂 has anyone ever had this or is it just a bad sleeping position 😂🤦🏻‍♀️

Milly238 · 14/04/2021 08:27

@Hxoxox yay!! Congratulations - such such amazing news!

@Mumofboys20122017 oh gosh I know the feeling. I caved and tested this morning. BFN obviously! I’m only 7dpo - what was I thinking? Thankfully it was just a cheapie one but I’m gonna try my best to hold out until the weekend too. Also if you’re not due AF until Sunday then you may have tested a bit too early too I think - fx you get a different result by the weekend!

Onehotmess · 13/04/2021 23:43

And now I can see both posts! 🙈😂😂

Onehotmess · 13/04/2021 23:43

Strangely my posts aren’t showing up- apologies if I have already answered @Mumofboys20122017 !
I’m definitely going to test tomorrow as I have no self control! 😂

Onehotmess · 13/04/2021 22:18

[quote Mumofboys20122017]@Onehotmess are you testing again tomorrow or holding off for another few days? X[/quote]
I’ll be peeing on that stick the minute I wake up 😂😂 I feel like I have no self control whatsoever 😂 I don’t expect to see anything but I know I’ll be disappointed if I don’t as well I can’t win! I’ve got 3 of the cheaper version of frer ( so not as sensitive) so I think I’ll just do one weds, thurs & Friday and see what happens! Might splash out on a real FRER for Saturday 😱 x

Hi @CrispyB 👋 hope this month is a lucky one for you! ❤ I'm the same as you, have had sore boobs for days now and some cramps but literally can't tell if it's AF or early symptoms 🙈 lots of baby dust your way!

@Puppymamababymama hi 👋 so sorry to hear of your chemical, hope you're ok ❤ lots of baby dust to you for your next cycle! I did a test on Monday, it was BFN but not due AF until Sunday so may just have been a bit too early, have sore boobs and some cramps but that could be either or 🙈 might do another tomorrow and if still BFN maybe just wait again until the weekend! Which will no doubt drag lol

@Hxoxox CONGRATULATIONS on your BFP!! so so pleased for you!! First one in our wee group! Fantastic!! Aw I know it's easier said than done when people say try not to stress, but just look after yourself and take it easy, time will fly by and before you know it your scan will be here!

@Hxoxox

I got my BFP...!!! I am absolutely over the moon!! But please tell me how I remain calm from now until scan?? I don’t have any symptoms I’m terrified this baby doesn’t stick how do you relax until scan? I used to be on anxiety meds but been off them for ages and feel my anxiety is going to be through the roof!!!

How is everyone else doing?

Whhooop! Grin. Amazing! So pleased for you! I’m currently tapering off anxiety meds so I know what you mean! Positive vibes coming your way! 💖
Hxoxox · 13/04/2021 18:59

@Puppymamababymama Thank you!! Good luck to you too! Let’s hope this is a baby boom for us all! :)

Puppymamababymama · 13/04/2021 18:39

@Hxoxox congrats on your bfp!! Hoping I'll have some luck this month too 😬 feel like I'm constantly waiting for fertile window or to test. I know waiting for first scan is going to drive me.bonkers too! Maybe try to do some activities to keep your mind off but I know it must be hard! Good luck to you and your pregnancy 💕

Puppymamababymama · 13/04/2021 18:34

Hi everyone, finish up my period and waiting to start trying again! I'm trying for baby #1 and this will be month #2. Had a chemical this month but feeling okay. Not ready to give up and taking it as a good sign that we at least got a fertilized egg this first try! Hope everyone is doing well anyone started testing yet? Keep us updated I want to hear your success stories!

@IrishMaa I just had a chemical and from what I've read you can start trying as soon as your hcg levels are back to zero and some women are more fertile after so I'm hoping this month is my lucky month, hope the same for you!

@Mumofboys20122017 when do you think you will start testing before or after AF?

Hxoxox · 13/04/2021 18:12

@Onehotmess I'm 8dpo and took one today as well 😂 not due af until Sunday, was a BFN which I was expecting anyway as it is a bit early so thankfully didn't make me too sad lol hoping it changes by the end of the week!! I say ill try to wait until at least Friday but that feels like months away so I could test again any day 😂❤

Hi all,

So I had a solid smiley face 5/6th April. DTD quiet a few times during ovulation week. Hoping for that BFP soon! So I'm not entirely sure how many days past Ovulation. I think I might be #6. This is the first month I have used the Clear Blue digital tests so I'm praying.
I've had extremely sore boobs for atleast 3 days now. I even had to go get a new bra just for comfort. Small pains in my lower tummy every now and then but other then that, nothing else. I don't normally have period symptoms this early as it's still atleast 10/11 days till AF is meant to be here.
Baby Dust to everyone x

Onehotmess · 12/04/2021 08:16

@ohhisammi enjoy your weekend ;)
Best of luck for this cycle. I’m 6/7dpo and I’ve already done 2 tests 😂😂 I’m going to really try not to do any until Wednesday (that’s the best I can manage!) when I’ll be 8/9dpo and 6 days before my period is due x

Going to get back to the gym tomorrow and sort my eating out again! Also have purchased some pre seed and will be using my OPK's and using SMEP this month - so fingers crossed Grin
