Hey! I'm on my first month of TTC baby number 2!
I'm now approx 7dpo (I think!) And in the two week wait.
Anyone else?

@peaky297 you were indeed correct. I can’t quite believe it.

Hi!
I had my first IUI cycle at the end of November so I’m currently 5dpo and slowly going insane 😂 I’ve been feeling a bit crampy the last couple of days and have this uncomfortable fullness feeling. Not sure if these are signs of implantation or if it’s left over from the trigger shot which I had on the 28th

peaky297 · 04/12/2022 16:35

@Nic2908 looks positive to me! Congratulations!!

Gem how are you getting on?

I FINALLY have AF today after a whopping 44 day cycle - I'm usually around the 32 day mark without fail, so think it must have been those tablets! Needless to say they are now in the bin and I am.sticking just a simple folic acid and vitamin d tablet!

Guys I’m 11dpo today and got this what do you think. It’s kind of half there and half not

GemLou88 · 02/12/2022 14:23

@TulipVictory keep us updated on your line progression 🤞🏻

TulipVictory · 02/12/2022 10:40

@GemLou88 I just found the instructions and it said 10miu/ml so that's stil fairly sensitive isn't it 😬

GemLou88 · 02/12/2022 10:35

@TulipVictory yes, that’s why FRER are meant to be the tests you can get a BFP with the earliest.

TulipVictory · 02/12/2022 10:31

@GemLou88 I feel confused, so is 7miu more sensitive than 25? I'm tempted to find the leaflet in the recycling in a minute

GemLou88 · 02/12/2022 10:25

@monsteramunch sorry I can’t remember if I had implantation pain with my son or not. But it’s around the right time you should be feeling it. So 🤞🏻 it’s implantation for you!

@TulipVictory i bought some sainsburys tests yesterday that said test 5 days early. But when I read the leaflet inside it said the sensitivity was 25miu. Where the FRER is 7miu I think and the clear blue Early is 10miu. So if the miu is higher and you still have a faint line that’s good

TulipVictory · 02/12/2022 10:17

@GemLou88 it said it was sensitive and that you could test up to 6 days early. I'm just worried this will end poorly if the line is still very faint at CD35 and 7 days late for AF.

monsteramunch · 02/12/2022 09:26

Morning everyone, how are you all feeling today?

I'm approx 8/9DPO and had sharp stabbing on my right side last night (well this morning really, at about 5am) so of course I immediately got excited about it potentially implantation pains even though every month I say I won't symptom spot!

They only lasted an hour or so though. Not sure that's even what implantation pains feel like, or if they are more like period cramps? This was sharp stabbing pain rather than dull ache or horrible cramps.

GemLou88 · 02/12/2022 08:45

Hi @Nic2908 8dpo is still early. Don’t count yourself out. When are you next testing?

I tested again this morning 11dpo BFN but there’s pink when I wiped. I’m pretty sure AF is here and to be honest I’m relieved if it is. I’m fed up of testing and driving myself crazy. I had such intense cramps last night that came on suddenly but didn’t last long.

Good luck to anyone testing today 🤞🏻

Nic2908 · 01/12/2022 21:54

Can I jump on too please? Cycle one of trying for baby number 2. Little boy is two in two weeks. 8dpo today with a big fat negative. Feeling ok though actually. Disappointed but ok. Xx

GemLou88 · 01/12/2022 19:43

@TulipVictory a line is still good. Is it a sensitive one? Sometime those ones are not as sensitive so a faint line on that is still progression! So happy for you. I have no idea when AF is due, I came off my pill over a month ago and have had no period since. Just know I had a peak test and ovulation pain on the 21st. I know realistically I’m out this month but was hoping there was still a chance. Just consumes you.

@Alysskea so sorry you had a BFN. Sending love. I know these threads can be hard sometimes but they can be so supportive too. Just do what is best for you 💐

Alysskea · 01/12/2022 16:16

Got a BFN today at 12DPO. Also got a big fat cold bringing me down and what is probably PMS. Not coping very well I think I’d convinced myself this was the one. I suppose I should get off these threads but it’s hard somehow - don’t want to accept the negative.

TulipVictory · 01/12/2022 13:56

When is your period due @GemLou88

TulipVictory · 01/12/2022 13:55

@GemLou88 I did give in this afternoon and get one of those pound shops ones that you can supposedly get a positive 6 days early. The line, however is still just as faint so I don't know. I'm now 5 days late. I have been feeling quite sick this afternoon though with a metallic taste in my mouth

GemLou88 · 01/12/2022 10:15

@TulipVictory fingers crossed for you 🤞🏻 thanks for having a look. Think it’s the insanity of looking at these blank tests the last few days 😵‍💫

TulipVictory · 01/12/2022 10:07

@GemLou88 think I'm just going to leave it a few more days and see what happens 😬

Had a good look at your test and not sure I can see a line but again, sometimes it's hard to tell on photos.

GemLou88 · 01/12/2022 09:45

It’s another BFN for me today. Don’t know if my eyes are playing tricks or if there is a shadow of a line but I’m taking it as a negative. Can anyone else see anything or confirm my madness? Also did an OPK and it’s jumped up a little but don’t think it means much.
Anyone else tested this morning?

Looking for TWW buddies....
GemLou88 · 30/11/2022 22:20

I’m feeling deflated and frustrated this evening. This waiting around for either a positive test of AF is really getting to me. Hopefully a good nights sleep will help 🤞🏻hope everyone is doing ok

GemLou88 · 30/11/2022 22:18

@TulipVictory it could still be a faint positive. If you ovulated on CD17 and had pink when wiping CDs 27 and 28, that could have been implantation? And now the test it picking it up? Are you planning on testing again? Fingers crossed for a positive outcome for you.

TulipVictory · 30/11/2022 21:17

@GemLou88 thanks, I'm pretty sure I ovulated on CD 17 and I had some pink on wiping throughout the day on CD27 & 28 but nothing further. Currently CD32. This reminds me a lot of last month though

GemLou88 · 30/11/2022 19:00

@TulipVictory sorry to hear about your chemical, I had a chemical after my mmc too. So disheartening. I conceived me son the cycle after though and I ovulated late on that cycle. Have you tracked your ovulation? Could it be a late ovulation for you too?
Hey @peaky297 i was wondering how you’re doing. Don’t blame you for stepping back. Can be too much sometimes. Completely get just wanting AF to come if you’re not pregnant. It’s so frustrating. Hope you’re ok. Sending love

peaky297 · 30/11/2022 16:02

@nadsc first of all - congratulations!! How are you all doing?

Sorry I've been a bit AWOL, I needed to take a step back from it all as I've been driving myself loopy.

My last test was Sunday and still very very faint, so think it may be a chemical or just i have had a crap run with indents and evaps. That being said, still no AF so that would make me over a week late now which is unusual. I don't have the heart to test again as I strongly suspect I'm not pregnant.

I started taking the seven seas TTC vitamins last month and I read the other day that there are other women whose cycles went all over the shop after taking them with long cycles etc so maybe it's that? 🤷‍♀️ I've stopped taking them now just in case.

Just want my period now to get back to normal - think it may come soon as I have sore boobs and my usual PMS symptoms so 🤞🙈
