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?

Hoping I've now ovulated and I'm on the TWW... again!!

Here's a round up of my fertile week

CD 12 digital OPK blank circle - didn't DTD
CD 13 digital OPK blank circle - didn't DTD
CD 14 digital OPK static smiley - DTD
CD 15 super strong positive strip OPK - DTD
CD 16 super strong positive strip OPK - DTD

Really hoping the above means we're in with a good shot but worried we left most of the DTD too late after the positive OPK.

Any advice / thoughts / experience welcome Flowers

Confirmed this morning with a digital and another clear line on easy at home.

🥰🥰🥰

Ah this is amazing news!! Flowers

GemLou88 · 26/11/2022 08:55

@LS888 amazing! So comforting to see the digital. Congratulations.

@nadsc my resting heart rate went up when I was pregnant too. Definitely a positive sign 🤞🏻

Wonderful news! ✨️🎊
I didn't know the heart rate thing was a thing, so will def keep an eye on that moving forward! Sounds promising though 🤞 keep us posted!

I'm keeping my promise not to test today, hard as it is! So the only update is still no AF, very tired but difficulty falling asleep and last night I had really random vivid dreams 🤷‍♀️.

Have a great day everyone! X

My heart rate went up after ovulation and hasn’t come back down. There has been a gradual increase and now it’s about 10 more beats per minute than in was! A good sign for you! 🤞🏻

nadsc · 26/11/2022 08:11

@LS888 congratulations! What an amazing Christmas present!

little update from me - 7dpo today and my resting heart rate is really high late 80s/90s. That’s how I knew I was pregnant with my daughter because my heart rate went up when I was just lying on the couch. I’m hoping it’s not just a coincidence! I MIGHT test tomorrow evening but definitely Monday morning as I got a positive test with my daughter at 9dpo. I’ll keep you updated.

Update from me… I have a faint line on my last two tests. Will do a digital and a frer at the weekend 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻No AF or spotting since a few days ago.

@peaky297 thank you. Just so glad it’s Friday and can hopefully rest the weekend.
I can see a very faint line without zooming in, but if I zoom it in gets lost, it is probably easier to see in person than by photo. Think we all drive ourselves crazy and second guess. Horrible having to wait and find out.

@GemLou88 sorry to hear you're not well - hope you feel better soon!
Hopefully this will be your month 🤞🤞🤞
Can you see the line? Now I'm not sure I can see it unfiltered - think I'm actually going loopy 🤣🤣

GemLou88 · 25/11/2022 10:06

Hey@peaky297 it’s easy to stress out about this. But it’s positive there’s a line there. Try and relax and see what Mondays test says. Fingers crossed the line gets darker and this is your month! I don’t like FRER for this reason. It never gave me dark lines. The cheaper tests did when I took them at the same time. I’ll add a photo of when I was pregnant with my boy and tested at 10dpo.

For me the last spotting was Tuesday. Nothing since then. I should be about 4dpo today. Last night when I took my bra off my boobs felt heavy and sore. But I’m unwell at the moment and ache everywhere. Being unwell could be why I’m really tired too. So no point double guessing my symptoms at the moment.

Hi Ladies! How are you all doing?
@gem any progress on the spotting?

Took another FRER this morning - think the line may be ever so slightly darker, so unlike yesterday's it's just about visible in a photo without filtering, but it is still vv faint 😕 (unfilteted pic below)

At this point I'm fairly convinced there is something there, however not convinced that it's here to stay as I'm now 4 days late and would expect darker lines by now 😞

I had a little stress about it all this morning, so promised my DH that I'll give the tests a break for a couple of days and let nature take its course. If no AF over the weekend will test again on Monday. Gonna be easier said than done 🙈

Thanks everyone.
Only took the one - will do another either this eve or tomorrow. I feel okay thanks- apart from feeling a bit tired and burny nips! I've had the odd period where I've felt nauseous too. Otherwise I feel pretty much normal!

@hopeful - totally appreciate your comments and I have the same concerns. I am very nervous about it 😬. Sorry to hear that you've been having a hard time of it too!

All we can do now is wait 🙈😬

Hopefulfor4 · 24/11/2022 09:09

@peaky297
I hope you don't mind me speaking up, I've been watching people progress. I can definitely see the line. I'm wary of very faint lines myself tho now as I've been caught out by indents or chemical pregnancy recently. Sorry to be negative Nancy but just guard your heart for a little while. X

GemLou88 · 24/11/2022 08:34

@peaky297 i can see it too! How exciting. Did you test with a cheapie to to compare? Keep us updated. How you feeling?

nadsc · 24/11/2022 07:36

@peaky297 I see it too, you’ll have to update us again tonight/tomorrow morning xx

LMM91x · 24/11/2022 06:42

@peaky297 i see it in the frer!!

peaky297 · 24/11/2022 06:39

@Alysskea - easier said than done isn't it! Ha

Still no AF and tested again this morning with a FRER... I think there's a line, but again it's so so faint to the point it may just be an indent or something. My BFP with my first was faint, but this is practically non-existent 🙈😵‍💫

Can anybody see it? I've filtered it a bit to allow the pic to pick it up!

Agree with you @peaky297 I am prob just
hyperfocusing! Doubt it’s implantation this early on.

glad you put it out of mind for a bit - I need to try and do this!!

Evening all. Not tested again yet - just wanted an afternoon not thinking about it, so put it out of my mind as best I could.
Got a FRER ready for the morning 🤞
I do feel pretty crampy this eve mind which doesn't fill me with confidence 🙈

Could indeed be early implantation cramping -.its hard to know. If you're anything like me you will notice every little twinge that ordinarily you might not. Wait a few days and see how things go x

GemLou88 · 23/11/2022 19:54

Hey @Alysskea could it be early implantation? How are you feeling now?

Alysskea · 23/11/2022 11:21

Has anyone who has done this before had little crampy feelings in the lower tummy at 4/5 DPO? Am I absolutely losing it?

GemLou88 · 23/11/2022 09:44

@peaky297 definitely keep us posted. Everything crossed for you.
no spotting before that I can remember. But before ttc my son I didn’t really take much notice. And when I conceived him and when I had the mmc I caught first months both times. Who knows. I don’t know if it’s a positive thing or not. I’ve taken an OPK test today and it’s decreased to low again. I’m not going to take anymore of them and just have to wait and see what happens
