TTC May Baby - Part 2

@CDD1992 I see it! How many dpo are you?

I don't 😭 I've just ordered some to come tomorrow. This was an easy at home 10ml one.

Can anyone else see this?

I couldnt hold off. Self control lasted about 2 seconds. But I've got a second line 🥺going to try and get a photo, it's so faint so just praying it doesn't turn out to be an indent.

@CDD1992 pleased for you it's not covid.

@NatGee Tbh I can't remember what the bbt chart was supposed to do anymore but I do remember it did it 😂I was also wearing a smart watch at the time and my resting heart rate climbed and stayed high. I've looked through my phone but can't find the chart anywhere.

The clear blue calculator says I can't test till Sunday but counting the 5-6 days early would be today so I'll just keep going with the cheapies daily till I get somewhere. I get what you mean about control with testing @2bm I know it makes zero difference in the long run and the early weeks then feel like forever but I can't not test. I'd love to be one of those people who find out at 7 or 8 weeks. Would shorten the waiting for scans etc.

Morning all! Not got covid yay! Sore throat has settled so no idea what yesterday was about and my temp is up again this morning. 8DPO so slowly entering test territory x

@EdinburghGirl1 thanks for the new thread

Well done to those of you who are putting off testing.
I’m the opposite. I’m convinced af is on her way early but I really want a chance to test before it does. Even though I fully expect to see a BFN, I just want to pee on a stick! Maybe it’s my way of taking control? Plus I personally, find a BFN less disheartening than af arriving- at least there’s a glimmer of hope (or at least I can tell myself there is) that maybe I’m just too early/dodgy test/any other excuse I can think of!
My tests arrived tonight so think I’ll test in the morning (11dpo) if af hasn’t arrived by then.

Hi all! As I said in the other thread I'm 2dpo on TTC cycle 3 - will wait to 10dpo to test.

Thanks for the tag and the new post @EdinburghGirl1 cd13 and o date supposed cd15 but my test are still looking pretty light and dp is in a stroop banging around in the kitchen...so attractive. So I think there will be no dtd tonight. How on earth do some of you ladies push through when you just want to throttle your partner

Hi to new joiners :)

@TTCn2 I think there are a few of us trying for no.2 here. DS was a year. This is our 3rd cycle for no.2 .It's hard when nothing is happening. I was symptom spotting like crazy last month but ended up just being a slightly longer cycle and AF finally arrived. Hopefully coming cycle is better.

Hello @TTCn2 and welcome - absolutely, we are here sharing our sorrows and joys day in day out. symptom watching is a real pain, as much we try not to do it, we find ourselves going down that same rabbit hole. I sincerely hope this cycle will be the one where you get your bfp.

Hello @LucyLoopyLu we're very close in our cycle, i should be testing at the same time as you. your egg could still be alive if you're 1dpo so id probably try and squeeze a dtd sesh just in case

Hi all 👋
I'm CD15 here, pretty sure I'm 2dpo although could be 1dpo. We have been DTD every other day so not sure whether to go for another last one tonight or not. I think it's probably too late as my sex drive has completely disappeared but thinking it might be worth doing just in case giving up too early is why we haven't been successful yet (on cycle 5).

I am due AF around 7th September so I will provably do a cheapie test on 5th or 6th. I've been quite good at waiting until 13/14dpo to test so far as I don't want to be squinting at lines and driving myself mad, but it is hard especially when symptom spotting.

@bossgirl94 aww this is good news right! Lol xxxx

Can I join in? New here and hoping to share this journey with others as it's driving me mad.
I'm ttc no. 2, my son is 6 years old. We've been trying for over a year now, although not 'on it' every month.
I'm getting so frustrated with my body; I get so many pregnancy symptoms, but it changes each month, sometimes nothing, sometimes loads. This month, I've been really nauseous for days, sore boobs, dizzy, hot sweats, really strong sense of smell, but then started spotting (which is normal for me pre period) and cramping yesterday. I'm 12dpo. So now waiting for period to arrive 😥and trying hard not to test.
Each month I try not to get my hopes up and each month I come crashing back to reality.
Hoping to find some people who understand 😊

@CDD1992 3dpo, BBT confirmed ovulation. I'm just bumbling along, counting down the days of course and promising myself I wont symptom spot.
Off to Lisbon this bank holiday weekend so that will be a welcome distraction
Will still keep an eye on this thread as some of you will be testing this weekend :D

@NatGee i really hope so! How are you getting on? X

@Alice1608 I am yes.

I've started to get a little bit of cramping and some pain in my lower back now😫

Plonking myself in here even though I’m out, but I can send good wishes out to everyone.

@CDD1992 your chart is looking so good! the dip, could it be something to do with implantation?
@essa ah yes, it must be difficult to temp with your 18 month old. I can do it because we're childless. What indicators did you have last time from BBTing that you were pregnant?

@NatGee haha absolutely. I've got plenty so it will be daily from here till bfp or I concede defeat.

I temped last time but can't because of sleep patterns this time. It gave me a pretty good picture that I was pregnant before I tested that time. I'm in the dark this time.

@CDD1992 fingers crossed for you it's not covid

Thanks for setting this up @EdinburghGirl1 ! 7DPO today. Woke up with a really sore throat so going to get DP to do a covid test on me when he gets home (I can't do it on myself 🤮). Very hungry last 2 days but that could just be boredom setting in with working from home. Temp drop yesterday but back up today 🤞🏻
