TTC #2

Aww thanks @Kiaa :) that’s really kind, I’m just hoping they can figure out what’s causing a fair bit of pain for me xx hope you’re getting on ok, how are you doing? Ooh fab :) love being similar times cycle wise - it’s always great to have company! And to try resist testing as much as poss!😆

How are you doing @Borolass84?x

@Borolass84 Welcome !
Just wait a few days too see if it comes back if not test , Best of luck let us know how you go 💫

@mrsS21
Welcome back , hope everything is ok with your Kidney x
Hopefully this week goes fast for you to start ttc again
Looks like we maybe testing at the same time this cycle 😀 sending you lots of baby dust 🌟

I’ve never missed af so this has been the closest we’ve been. Yes positive as getting stressed doesn’t do either of you any good :) hopefully you conceive too but like you say just keep trying :)

That’s a great sign :) I think feeling positive can sometimes be half the battle can’t it?! I was convinced 2 months on the trot that we were pregnant, as substantially late…both times nothing and hit me hard. Decided to try look at it that each month is a fresh start…try keep the excitement there. I appreciate it gets harder the longer the journey, but hopefully it’s well worth the wait.

I will do @mrsS21 I will post again once I find out one way or another just feel positive as not had this happen before so definitely a change.

You’re welcome @Borolass84 :) that’s a great sign, will keep everything crossed for you, keep us posted! Hope af doesn’t make an appearance!xx

Thank you for the reply MrsS21. Yes waiting to see if AF comes by weekend. If she doesn’t then I’ll do a test on Monday or Tuesday. This has been the closest we have got so far after nearly a year of trying so don’t want to get our hopes up yet. All the best of luck to you too :)

hi @borolass84 - that sounds like it could be implantation bleeding...I'd say hold off testing as close to your expected af as possible, to avoid potential false negatives (if it's implantation!). Lots of guidance says wait around 2 days before testing from when implantation bleed starts, so it could be Friday/Saturday. Depends how patient you feel!

evening ladies, hope you're all ok. Sorry for the radio silence - I was having issues getting logged into my account this month.
Sorry to hear so many bfn's for October, it's been a pretty rubbish month all-round by the sounds of it. Wishing you all lots of luck for November's cycle.
We had to pop our trying on hold this month (dtd once after period ended) but I'm desperate for a scan to check my kidneys, which they can't do if there's a risk of expecting...so been waiting for period to arrive so I can get that over with, and get back on with trying! Alas, today's CD1, so scan on Friday, then we're back to it!:)

hope everyone is doing ok!

Good evening all. TTC for nearly a year now. I’m Looking for some advice please. I’m due next AF this weekend (23rd or 24th) but yesterday had cramping and bleed. Only 3/4 pad full then just blood present when wiping today. Feeling nausea and lower back pain for last few days. Should I do a pregnancy test now or wait til after the weekend? Thanks in advance.

@daisiesandpeonies there's a guide in the box about when to start testing, I think it's about a week before you might ovulate. I always have a bunch of cheap OPKs as well in case I want to test multiple times a day.

@daisiesandpeonies thanks oh yay next AF is due 21st of November so testing then
I usually start Opk Cd 10 if that helps but roughly know my ovulation is around cd17

@kmbegs thank you , yay excited to be cycle buddies 😆 surely this has to be our month right 💫xx

@WingingIt101 thank you hope everything is going well for you 🌟

@Kiaa bad news 😭 better luck for next time. If your cycles are 4 weeks we might be testing about the same time!

How long after your period does everyone start with the otcs? Because I don't want to literally pee money away 😂 My period finished 16th but I have 5 week cycles

Sorry to hear that @Kiaa
Hoping for 8 to be your lucky number!

@Kiaa sorry to hear that about you too, although on a plus we are 8th cycle buddies! Let's keep everything crossed that it's lucky 8 for us x

Sorry to hear @has30 & @kmbegs
I know how disheartening it is each time hoping for next cycle to be lucky for us all 💜

I was greeted with ugly AF this morning least she wasn't too late this time but onto 8th cycle we go ..

@L0ts yes AF came yesterday. Going to pop out tomorrow and get some clear blue ovulation sticks. It will be my first time using them!

I like us all being at different times in our cycles as it gives me something to look forward too when I'm going back to square one haha! Hope you're all okay!

@has30 Did AF show? 😩 I thought I saw a faint line in your first test a few days a go!

@kmbegs Sorry you’ve got AF.. Ergh, sending you lots of positive vibes for this new cycle ❤️

I’m on cycle day 7 today, weirdly had a positive OPK yesterday but surely that’s too early? Double checked with a pregnancy test and it was negative, of course. Ttc always messes my cycles up I swear 😂 Haven’t had a rise in temp though so I’m assuming the OPK was wrong!

@kmbegs and @has30 sending you both positivity for the next cycle.

How is everyone doing?

@kmbegs sorry to hear you're in the same position. Yes it would be lovely to see 2021 out with a PFP! Guess we just have to keep going, try and start next month feeling positive!

@has30 that's me just got AF after my seventh cycle. Sigh. So I get it. Some months I really feel like it's worked, others I know it's not. It's hard either way, all you can do is keep going. Honestly can't believe that's me into my eighth months trying, praying I get my BFP by Christmas. Fingers crossed for you too.

AF due today and this is about as negative as negative can be. Just wait her arrival now I guess. Really thought I felt different this month, must just be telling myself things!

How's everyone else??
