Good afternoon ladies,

I hope you are all well.

Would any of you like to jump on this 2WW train with me?

Time is going by so slowly but hopefully we'll be able to keep each other sane!

Just a little but about myself.

Hubby and I lost our first baby at 19+4 due to my incompetent cervix. We were absolutely devastated and we still are to be honest. We have decided to start trying again partly because we really do want to start a family but also because we know that women are more fertile after miscarriage/baby loss and we want to make the most of this window. I have PCOS and my cycles are typically long and unpredictable. It was a bit of a miracle I managed to get pregnant so quickly the first time.

I definitely ovulated last week, I had the cramps, EWCM and everything. The only issue is i have no idea which day I actually ovulated. The last day of my fertile was Monday this week. Hubby and I did quite a bit of baby dancing last week including Sunday so I'm literally praying for good news at the end of this 2ww.

I'm just going to act as though I ovulated on Monday so I should be at least 2dpo now.

Praying this thread turns into one of those lucky ones where we all get good news xx

@FirstimeTTC

I can't believe what I'm typing... I've just got my BFP! I really wasn't expecting it after 11 months I was ready to give up & start trying after the wedding! I'm still a bit worried after having a MC already - will just keep testing every few days
Congratulations!! ☺️ Here's to a happy and healthy 9months!

Well I caved and took a test...bfn 💁🏻‍♀️
Cramps stopped this morning. Still nauseous on and off, breasts back to being sore again. No sign of AF as yet. I only got some cheapies so I'll still try another in the morning. If not then I don't have a clue 🙄

Lua2020 · 18/09/2021 14:23

@xClaire yeah there is why do period sympts have to be same pregnancy I’m staying positive! Sorry to hear about your ectopic fingers crossed for you then good sign if you can get past 32! My periods the past two months have been 36/37 days but this month got a positive opk on cd16 so previously god knows when I Ovd

xClaire · 18/09/2021 10:05

@Lua2020 sorry about your bfn, you're not out of it yet though 🤞
I want to take a test but they are like a jinx for me...I take one and AF arrives later than day! I woke this morning still feeling nauseous, boobs still a little sore though not as bad as yesterday but I have cramps now so I'm guessing the inevitable is on its way 🙁 If nothing happens today then I'll take one tomorrow as I've never been later than 32 days (periods irregular since ectopic two years ago)

Lua2020 · 18/09/2021 07:34

I did at frer last night bfn! I’m 9dpo I might leave it a few days @xClaire depending on when you’ve ovulated I’d be tempted to take a test?

FirstimeTTC · 18/09/2021 07:23

@Mummytobe93

Morning everyone

@FirstimeTTC I know it easier said than done but don’t loose hope yet, it might be still too early, the implementation might’ve only just happened yesterday or the day before…

Having said that, I’ll be doing my first test of my first TTC cycle tomorrow too at 8 DPOBlush my First response test should arrive this afternoon Grin

It definitely is isn't it! My temp is still quite high so that's keeping me positive!

Good luck to you, I will be grabbing a test on my lunch break today

Evening (or morning!) everyone. Hoping to jump in here with you Smile
I don't know how many dpo I am as I promised myself no more tracking and to give up on ttc however, I am 32days since my last period and have some nausea and sore boobs! So here I am finding myself back in the symptom spotting and do I/don't I buy a test game again 🙄

FirstimeTTC · 17/09/2021 22:10

[quote TinyShrew17]@FirstimeTTC there's still time! Maybe try another test in the morning if AF doesn't show?

How's everyone else getting on ?[/quote]
Thanks hun, will test on Sunday morning as I need to get some more tests! At least it stops me from testing haha!

FirstimeTTC · 17/09/2021 09:11

Gave in and tested (10 dpo) it's negative 😔 I know there's still time but I'm not convinced! According to my chart AF is due tomorrow

Sandib315 · 16/09/2021 12:35

I tested today two clear blue tests one worked the other didn't. Think it's negative and showing an evap line as a positive and the other the control window didn't work 🙄 Will wait to see if AF comes. I just know I am never getting clear blue again should of waited to go to town for the first options ones! Grin

Aims1991 · 16/09/2021 12:19

11dpo and dying to test but trying to wait as long as possible. Had some twinges so thinking it's AF coming 😭

Sandib315 · 15/09/2021 11:42

@Sandib315

It's first month trying for baby number 2. I think I just feel it won't be as quick this time due to age I'm 36. My first just gone 2. The TWW is so frustrating. I was working out etc since I'm like don't put pressure on your body. I can test on Sunday so fingers crossed. I have decided to just do my exercise I was running when I got preg on number 1. :)
Completely forgot to say Hi to all the ladies trying to get what I wanted down GrinConfused

Blondiebrownie6 · 15/09/2021 11:29

Oh yay @TinyShrew17 look at that lovely line! That’s great you have a wee plan in place to work towards now :) yes , this is true. It’s still early days so plenty of time for them to appear :)

@Gensola good luck to you for Friday , hang on in there Flowers

@FirstimeTTC that’s great your temp has gone back up this morning Smile every morning that wait for the result is horrible lol! Fingers crossed for you it continues to rise ?

How are you getting on @SummerGirlElle xx

TinyShrew17 · 15/09/2021 09:10

@Blondiebrownie6 So they've got me in for an early scan and to see the diabetic nurse and consultant at 7 weeks. Which is in 3 weeks time, so pretty quick! Then at that appointment they'll book me in for the NIPT test! Smile All happening. Glad to have some sort of plan in place. I tested this morning and look how dark the line has got!!!!!

Yes still early days. More and more symptoms will develop day by day/ week by week. ....just remembered got to go through all the nausea again, damn!

Gensola · 15/09/2021 07:01

@Blondiebrownie6 thank you 💜 it was stupid of me to test, especially as I knew it wasn’t even my first wee. Going to hold off til my official test day now, which is Friday morning.
I think being anxious is totally normal, I know I will be!!

FirstimeTTC · 15/09/2021 06:59

@Blondiebrownie6 oh bless you, I think anxiety is completely normal we all want it so much we are terrified of something going wrong!!

My temp had gone back up this morning so 🤞🏻 it keeps going that way and doesn't drop back down tomorrow closer to AF

Lealu · 14/09/2021 21:52

@SummerGirlElle sorry for your loss, what a rollercoaster. When are you going to test?

@Bundaberg84 thanks for sharing that link- I shall turn to this when I'm next tempted to waste money poas ridiculously early and use my money to treat to something nice myself instead! 🤣

@TinyShrew17 and @Blondiebrownie6 congratulations on your BFPs. And I appreciate you're understandably now managing a different kind of worry.

I've been ttc nearly a year. Doing smep. Currently 10dpo. AF due approx Saturday so going to test then (14dpo) if AF hasn't arrived. Started having a few potential symptoms today- lower abdomen twinges. Though obviously that could be anything 🤦‍♀️ Really really hoping, but also feeling anxious at the prospect of yet another bfp 😢

Aims1991 · 14/09/2021 19:55

Evening ladies, busy few days at work for me. 9dpo and got my usual week before AF symptoms so I'm in a mood tonight🙈
