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?

I had a chemical last month. On the day AF was due I had a very faint line on a pregnancy test. However, three days later AF came full force. I was gutted I tested and said I would only do it again if I was late. My cycles are never later than 28 days so this cycle I am currently day 32, I've tested this afternoon and this is the test? I feel like this is way too faint for being late? Do you think it will be another chemical? Thanks for looking 😊

@Stilltobeseen there’s so many people with bad colds at the moment. I’m only just getting over one and it’s taken me a while to shake it off. Hope you’re feeling better soon. Ttc journey is so full of ups and downs.

how many DPO are you @Alysskea? I don’t know if I can give any advice, I just know that I’ve been having the same the last couple of days. I’m 9dpo today and cramping seems to be on and off. But I’ve got a constant mild low backache too

Don’t know if this is a positive sign but today and yesterday I’ve randomly brought up my lunch. If it’s not, my body is really playing tricks on me

Alysskea · 30/11/2022 13:33

Sorry to hear you’re feeling rubbish @Stilltobeseen !

Does anyone know if infrequent cramping in your uterus is a sign that you are definitely out? Feels a bit like period but I wouldn’t normally get it this early. Can this happen in pregnancy?

Stilltobeseen · 30/11/2022 11:01

Thank you @GemLou88 just feeling really down today which if this is pms makes sense haha. Also as the morning has went on I definitely have a full blown cold.

GemLou88 · 30/11/2022 09:27

@Stilltobeseen sending hugs. I know it’s so stressful and consuming sometimes. And easy for me to say it’s still early and don’t count yourself out when it’s all you can think about and you just want to know. But it is still early. Those OPK’s look strong and could be your peak. Here if you need to chat

@Northbynorthbreast sending love too. Was today your test day? I can’t imagine how stressful going through transfer is. Sending a hand hold and here if you need to chat too

@nadsc thank you! I know it’s still early but comforting to know you got a BFN at 9dpo and got your BFP the next day. Can’t wait to hear how your husband reacts. Hope you’re acting is good 😂 how you feeling today? I’m hoping the cramping I felt yesterday was the start of implantation

nadsc · 30/11/2022 08:48

@GemLou88 you’re still not out! I got a BFN at 9dpo too.
I haven’t told my husband yet, I’m going to wait until Saturday where we can do a test together and I’ll just pretend I had no idea 😂

Northbynorthbreast · 30/11/2022 08:48

@GemLou88 its a no for me to. Sending love. Beyond devastated. Fourth failed transfer. I feel so let down by my body.

Stilltobeseen · 30/11/2022 08:35

Feeling really down today. I seem to have every symptom under the sun which I know probably means I'm not pregnant. I actually think I might be coming down with something (DD has a bit of a cold atm). I just feel like I have really shitty pms. Only approx 6 dpo. I have no clue if I even ovulated this month as the two tests I did which I'll attach if I can were as dark as they got then went negative again. I'm only only on cycle 1 and I feel soooo shitty. This was what put me of trying again for so long, this process. I feel like I'm not being fully present in my daily life because all I can think about it if I'm pregnant or not whichnisnt fair on the wonderful DD I already have.

GemLou88 · 30/11/2022 06:34

BFN for me this morning. I know it’s still early at 9dpo. See what tomorrow brings

GemLou88 · 29/11/2022 17:26

@nadsc amazing! That’s a great line. Congratulations 🥳 Did you tell your Husband?
I will probably test tomorrow but expecting it to be a BFN. Cramping has stopped but still have a backache, now a headache too, was a little bit sick earlier after lunch but it could all be down to stress at work

nadsc · 29/11/2022 17:19

This evenings test. A lot darker than the one this morning 🤞🏻

are you going to test tomorrow @GemLou88

Looking for TWW buddies....
GemLou88 · 29/11/2022 10:47

@nadsc im only 8dpo today so I know it’s still early. While I’ve been at work the cramps have eased up. I know it’s hard to get excited, but this seems so positive. Fingers crossed for a darker line for you tomorrow!

nadsc · 29/11/2022 09:59

@GemLou88 Those are all positive signs though. When will you test again?

I’m 10dpo today. I’ve taken pictures by it’s so hard to see, it’s quite dark where I am today so the lighting isn’t great. I did a first response around 9ish and there’s a line. Tomorrow, hopefully it’s darker and I’ll send a picture then. Im trying to not get too excited but it’s so hard. I’m off to buy an extra digital because I told my husband I’d test with him whenever that is but I want to make sure first. I have been telling him I’m not pregnant though

GemLou88 · 29/11/2022 07:44

@nadsc amazing! How many dpo are you? Send a photo if you can.
Yesterday I had frequent urination and light cramping. I needed a wee about 4 this morning and was desperate and didn’t test. But during the night and this morning the cramps have become stronger, so has the back pain. I think AF will be here soon, which is fine, just want to know either way

nadsc · 29/11/2022 07:19

@GemLou88 I’ve been having hot flushes, waves of nausea, tiredness but that could be because of my little one and cramping. Plot twist though, just did a cheapie test and there’s a line. It’s not one where I have to go looking for it but I’m so annoyed cos I didn’t do a FRER and now I wish I did, I have to hold my wee now for a few hours. How’s it looking for you?

GemLou88 · 28/11/2022 11:59

@nadsc some, but nothing that makes me think this is it. I’ve had the flu and still getting over it so the back ache and tiredness I can say is that. I’ve had some mild, pretty constant cramping. Some stronger twinges today. I’ve seen other posts where ladies have carried on taking OPK’s and it’s gotten stronger before getting their BFP. I’ve took one yesterday and again today. Todays is stronger than yesterday’s but I don’t think it means much for me. It’s still early still, but I’m not confident for this month. How are you feeling?

nadsc · 28/11/2022 09:26

@GemLou88 Here’s hoping one of us gets our BFP soon. Have you had any symptoms?

GemLou88 · 28/11/2022 08:58

@Stilltobeseen you have more will power than me!
@monsteramunch 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻
@nadsc its still early. You have another 3/4 days until AF due!
I tested this morning when I told myself I should as I’m only 7dpo. Of course a BFN. Have to laugh at myself

nadsc · 28/11/2022 07:56

BFN for me this morning. I do think I’m out. Periods not due until Friday/Saturday. The body is so cruel - literally been cramping for days, it really knows how to play tricks on us all. Here’s hoping I get my Christmas present of a positive pregnancy test!

monsteramunch · 27/11/2022 20:50

@GemLou88

you should be covered. Did you dtd before cd12 too? What I’ve heard about the CB test is you can’t see the build up to your peak. What I’ve heard others do and did myself was use OPK’s then when I thought I got me peak used the CB digital to see if it was a static smiley. I dtd Saturday, got my peak Monday and dtd then too. So I’m hoping I’m covered too.

Thanks for your reply 😊

Unfortunately I was away with work until CD13 so no chance to DTD any earlier in my window but hopefully we caught the best days!

Got everything crossed for us both (and everyone else!) this month Flowers

Stilltobeseen · 27/11/2022 20:47

@GemLou88 no earlier than a week today. Due my period the following Thursday. Ugh.

GemLou88 · 27/11/2022 20:44

@Stilltobeseen that all sounds positive. When are you planning to test?

@peaky297 how are you getting on? Still planning on testing tomorrow?

Stilltobeseen · 27/11/2022 10:51

Hi @GemLou88 i woke up yesterday with a really sore left boob then randomly in the afternoon some suuuuper knarly lower back pain that radiated around my hips (I had this in early pregnancy last time but much further along not in the TWW), I've had mild cramps on and off and tmi but I get moment when I can just FEEL my nipples. I don't know if that makes sense but it's like I hyper aware of them 🤣.

Hi @Stilltobeseen l’m 6dpo and symptom spotting like mad too. What symptoms have you got so far? I’ve got a bad cold at the moment so some of my symptoms can be explained away with that such as back ache, sore boobs, congested nose, higher than normal resting heart rate. But I’ve been checking my cervix and it seems to be higher, and I keep getting reflux/heartburn like I did with my first. Trying to hold off until the 1st December to test at the earliest

Stilltobeseen · 27/11/2022 10:34

Can I join? I'm anywhere between 4-6dpo don't know exactly when I ovulated but BD a load so confident we caught the window. Started using the opks a bit too late after telling myself I wasn't using them this time 🤣 cycle 1 for baby number 2. Took 7 months to conceive our DD she's now almost 2.5.
Period is regular between 27/30 days but normally 27 or 28 days so the earliest I can test will be a week today. Logest time everrrr.
Obviously I've been symptom spotting, another thing I said I would do this time around.
