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?

Well I woke this morning with cramps. I expect it’s AF but not here yet. Just wish it would hurry now so I can stop getting my hopes up and just move on to the next cycle

Sparkle98 · 19/11/2022 23:30

I’m not there yet , at the end of AF but can’t find any chat close to my position in the cycle so thought I could join in just to have people to talk to about ttc :)

LuckyStar511 · 19/11/2022 22:53

@GemLou88 I’ve just seen so many others get their early positives and then it end in disappointment and I just don’t think I can do that to myself or DH.
I’ve been having headaches but that’s it.
when I was pregnant with DD, my first sign was sore boobs but I haven’t had that this time but I’m still breastfeeding so it could be that if I actually am pregnant. I also didn’t get BFP until I was 2 days late last time so only time will tell I guess x

GemLou88 · 19/11/2022 22:19

No more pink when wiping or any signs or AF. Had pink when wiping once last night and once this morning. If AF is on her way I wish she would hurry up!

Needtobuildabridge · 19/11/2022 21:53

BFN for me today, but still early days. I'm going to test again midweek.

It's still so early in our journey, so I'm happy either way at the moment. 😊

Lialii · 19/11/2022 20:22

@May94x Keep us posted! I did have this problem with FRERs recently, many tend to develop a very very faint line after about 10 minutes (so just at the end of the window that they are supposed to be valid for).

Lialii · 19/11/2022 20:19

Can I join? Currently about 8 DPO (maybe 9DPO). Trying for #2, had missed miscarriage in September discovered at 10+6 (measured 8 weeks). Also had a chemical earlier this year.

I took a cheapo today which was stark white, will test with FRER tomorrow. All three times I was pregnant I tested positive with FRERS at 9DPO.

LS888 · 19/11/2022 20:02

I’ve made a pact with myself not to test before next Thursday 😂 Currently 6DPO. I ovulated late so want to give it enough time to show. Fingers crossed for everyone waiting 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻

Alysskea · 19/11/2022 16:38

Hello 👋🏻 I’m just starting out on the TWW. Can I hop on?

GemLou88 · 19/11/2022 16:09

Hey @Sparkle98 how far into the tww are you?

@Needtobuildabridge did you test this morning?
@LuckyStar511 you’ve done well not to test again! Have you had any more symptoms?
Anyone else tested?

I had a little more pink when I wiped this morning. Not a lot but from reading other posts people have had similar and AF has arrived a few days later, I’m pretty sure I’m out and can start to track properly from next cycle

LuckyStar511 · 19/11/2022 15:14

Hope everyone is doing okay in the agonising TWW!!
AF due in the next 3-4 days so I’m trying really hard to not test!! 😅 Feel like I’m living through everyone else by just reading through loads of MN threads. Not sure if that’s the best thing to do though 🙈😂

Sparkle98 · 18/11/2022 21:52

Hello!
Im on my 2nd month of trying to conceive my 3rd child. I’m only on cycle day 2 and wanted to join in with others trying to conceive too. Wondered if I could join :)

GemLou88 · 18/11/2022 21:50

@May94x I’ve heard a few similar stories so I stick with the easy@home and have the clear blue digital for a bit later on. Maybe try with one of your cheap ones in the morning if they are sensitive ones. Fingers crossed

@Needtobuildabridge good luck. Fingers crossed for a BFP for you tomorrow

I think I’m out now. Just wiped some pink spotting and having stronger cramps now. Must be AF on her way to ruin my week

May94x · 18/11/2022 21:43

@GemLou88 thats interesting about the FRERs not giving you an early positive! I only have cheapy tests left but don’t think I will bother buying any more FRERs.

@Needtobuildabridge Ahh good luck! Keep us updated 😊

Needtobuildabridge · 18/11/2022 21:31

I'm going to test tomorrow - which is 10dpo. Wish me luck!

GemLou88 · 18/11/2022 21:13

@May94x keep us updated. I never liked FRER tests. I never got an early positive with them when I was pregnant with my Son, but I did with baby plan and easy@home tests. Fingers crossed.

@peaky297 I’m having the same, EWCM or similar. Sometimes I feel so sure I’m pregnant but the tests aren’t agreeing. But I’ll test anyway 😂

peaky297 · 18/11/2022 20:49

What are we like 🤣🙈 the faint line sounds positive though- that's how it started with my first!
Well I had another new development today- EWCM - lots of it, but I never usually have it at this point in my cycle only usually upon ovulation🤷‍♀️
I read its common in early pregnancy, so off I toddled to pee on yet another stick to have another BFN! 🙈 AF is due Tuesday next week so I'm determined to just be patient now 😅

OP posts:
May94x · 18/11/2022 17:33

I took a test this morning too 😅I’m 10/11 dpo. I thought I could see the faintest of faint lines, if I squinted enough 😂I think it was just an indent line though. I know a lot of people have been saying FRERs have been bad for them recently.

Still have a little bit of hope left but no more testing for me now until AF is due on Tuesday!

GemLou88 · 18/11/2022 14:27

Hey!
I think I’m 8dpo today. Stupidly tested and obviously BFN. Last few days been having headaches, heartburn and cramps, last night lower back pain. But could all be AF on the way 🤷‍♀️Oh and some nausea on and off too.
I’ve still be using my OPK too and although they aren’t peak or strong. There is still quite a visible line there. Don’t know if they are meant to go completely no line or very faint line.
Hows everyone else doing?

peaky297 · 18/11/2022 14:13

@LuckyStar511 sounds like we are on a similar time line!
I feel.sicky and tired again today - if I'm not pregnant then I'm def ill. Managed to resist testing this morning, but already considering tomorrow morning 🙈

Welcome to all other new joiners! How are you all feeling?

OP posts:
LuckyStar511 · 17/11/2022 12:35

@peaky297 I did a test this morning too! BFN still but only 9dpo so still trying to hold on to some hope. AF due in a week too so I think I’m just going to wait now. Not that I have the greatest self control! 🙈

GemLou88 · 17/11/2022 10:15

Hi Ladies,

Can I join you please? I think I'm in my tww. Currently trying for baby number 2. I had a MMC before my Son. I stopped my pill in October, haven't had a withdrawal bleed or AF since. I think I had a peak on the 9th on my OPK. Been symptom spotting like mad.

Keeping my fingers crossed for you all

peaky297 · 17/11/2022 10:09

@LuckyStar511 I know that feeling!
I took a first response test this morning as I feel absolutely knackered the last 2 days and a bit nauseous. BFN though, so don't know if it's all in my head 🙈
AF is due in a week, so I guess I'll gey my answer then!
How's everyone else doing?

OP posts:
LuckyStar511 · 15/11/2022 19:51

Just this evening I’ve started with the lower back pain. But that could be from crawling/running around after a toddler all day. I’ve also had some very minor cramping too. Trying to ignore it though and not “symptom spot” as the mind is a very powerful thing! And I don’t want to get my hopes up.

May94x · 15/11/2022 16:26

Hi I’d like to join! I’m 8dpo. TTC #1 after a MMC at 12 weeks in August and a chemical last month.

Has anyone had any symptoms yet? I’ve had terrible lower back ache yesterday and today which I don’t normally get with AF. I had the same pain last month with my chemical so I’m terrified it’s going to happen again :( trying to hold off testing until the weekend but it so hard isn’t it!!
