@Miracle22 sorry af showed. Baby dust for the next cycle.
@Coastaldreamer it is isn’t it. Did one last opk this morning to check levels have gone down which they have. Feel a bit uneasy though as the last two cycles I have had really bad ovulation pain and this cycle I haven’t felt anything, so now I’m convinced I haven’t ovulated 😣

Coastaldreamer · 15/02/2022 09:05

@Miracle22 sorry that AF came. Here's hoping for next cycle 

@MrsGrealish I know what you mean. Even last night only at 2DPO I'm like ok I won't have a drink even though I know it doesn't make a difference at this point? Or does it. Who knows!

@Bubblesandballoons sounds like a reasonable plan! I know it's like an addiction!

Miracle22 · 14/02/2022 21:17

AF showed up today. Can’t wait to be done with her and begin my cycle#3 off ttc baby #1.

MrsGrealish · 14/02/2022 18:39

Welcome @Nik84 and @dani9031. I'm really sorry about the miscarriage @Nik84 xx

MrsGrealish · 14/02/2022 18:28

I'm going to Dublin for OH birthday on Thursday so think that'll be 10dpo so I might test before going. I know it'll be a bfn but don't want to be worrying about a possible positive and Prosecco. If that makes any sense.

Bubblesandballoons · 14/02/2022 18:16

@VolcanicProtectorMan sorry about the bfn, still time for a bfp if you tend to get them later 🤞🏻.

@Coastaldreamer I’m going to try for 12dpo, but will see how I go, I’ll prob get more tempted when others start testing 🙈😂

VolcanicProtectorMan · 14/02/2022 18:09

11dpo today, tested this morning, BFN ☹️ I’m sure with my first baby I didn’t get a BFP until my period was due, which would be Thursday. But I have felt very disheartened by it 😔

Charl881 · 14/02/2022 17:39

@BiscuitLover3678 my first sign with my son was going off booze… that was 4 days before AF was due so pretty early! But I don’t remember how many dpo. Sickness kicked in about 5 weeks.

@Coastaldreamer also 1dpo today. Going to DTD once more tonight just for luck / in case/ it’s valentines. I will probably only make it until 10dpo before I cave and test. Definitely want to test with a FRER on 12dpo as I’m going away that weekend and want to be sure I’m ok to drink and use the spa 😂

BiscuitLover3678 · 14/02/2022 15:18

[quote MrsGrealish]@BiscuitLover3678 week 2 of the TWW really tired like was sleeping at 9pm every night when pregnant with DD. The nausea didn't kick in at all till about 6 weeks. I don't remember any other symptoms like headache or congestion. How you feeling? [/quote]
That’s really interesting. I don’t remember with my son! I was symptom spitting loads with him though and was a few years ago. Pretty much everything about me was different. Grin

Coastaldreamer · 14/02/2022 14:20

@Bubblesandballoons that's the hardest part... knowing me I will probably test on my cheapies at 11/12DPO. I'll say I won't but I know I will lol! You?

dani9031 · 14/02/2022 13:46

Cautiously joining! AF was due on Saturday however just had light spotting but it has came full force today and had BFN on Saturday also prior to spotting starting.

We are TTC baby number 3 and if we fall on this cycle (ovulation app says I'll be in my fertile window between 21st and 26th feb), baby would be due round about 21st November. Keeping everything crossed for us all 🤞

Nik84 · 14/02/2022 13:37

I’m cautiously joining, had a miscarriage in January and haven’t had my first period yet but having signs of ovulation.

Bubblesandballoons · 14/02/2022 13:32

@BiscuitLover3678 about 7/8dpo I got my first symptom and that was going off chocolate and general lack of appetite.

Welcome @Aila1994 hope this is your month.

@Coastaldreamer when are your going to test? I was so relieved I finally got peak I forgot that now I have another two weeks of waiting ahead of me 😩. I’m hoping to be able to control myself and not test early.

Aila1994 · 14/02/2022 12:58

Hi everyone! Hope you don’t mind me joining! I’m just waiting for AF to come next week and we will be on cycle 1 TTC baby number 1! We originally started trying last year but I was offered a new job I couldn’t turn down with a really great EMP if I waited 6 months before trying, so finally we can pick back up where we left off. I think if we were lucky enough to fall pregnant my due date would be 29/11! Fingers crossed and baby dust to everyone already in their tww 🤞!

BiscuitLover3678 · 14/02/2022 12:22

Does anyone remember when they first started getting symptoms perhaps with another pregnancy? Only 2dpo so feel like I’ll have a least a week to get any.

Thank you everyone ♥️
Baby dust to all of you ✨🙏🏼

Coastaldreamer · 14/02/2022 09:40

1DPO.... gonna be a looooong TWW 👀

MrsGrealish · 13/02/2022 23:45

I do like to track my cycles (can't use hormonal birth control) but I'm hopeless with remembering BBT. I can nearly pin point ovulation now. This cycle was a bit of a disaster though OH wasn't well and we DTD once on ovulation day 🤦‍♀️

Catred4 · 13/02/2022 23:36

@MrsGrealish

Ohh that's really interesting *@Catred4* I've read about this. Have you been tracking your cycle?
So when I was TTC DS 2 years ago, I was tracking religiously - I was taking temperature readings every morning and had been for at least 2 years before that because I was using it as a method of birth control. Tbh since I've had DS I've been really bad with tracking but I did do my temps last month and been keeping track of how long my cycles are, just not exactly pinpointing ovulation. We'll see how it goes!

What about you?

MrsGrealish · 13/02/2022 23:32

Ohh that's really interesting @Catred4 I've read about this. Have you been tracking your cycle?

Catred4 · 13/02/2022 22:44

Hi all!

I'd love to join this, first cycle trying for number 2. I have a 16 month old son currently. Would love a little November baby!

I'm hoping to ovulate sometime around 18th Feb, although I'm controversially going to DTD a few days before peak in the hope of getting a girl!

If no luck this cycle or next, I'll probably go back to just getting jiggy throughout the whole fertile period!

Good luck everyone, this is super exciting! Xx

Charl881 · 13/02/2022 19:06

@MrsGrealish you never know, at least you’re still in with a chance but open to it not being your month too. Not tooo much longer to wait either!

BiscuitLover3678 · 13/02/2022 18:31

@MrsGrealish

Hey *@BiscuitLover3678* Monday night bang on ovulation day.. Just not feeling anything vvv slight achy boobs but I think that's all in my head. I would actually love a Christmas baby so maybe next month is the one. I'll keep u posted... hoping this is your month though xx
I also have a funny feeling about December being my month. Fingers crossed that we’ll both have a baby this year Smile
