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 @Trojancheese it sounds so positive for both of you. Got everything crossed you both get your BFPs in the upcoming days xx

Ooh @peaky297 I've got everything crossed for you!! Flowers

@Trojancheese definitely sounds positive if you ask me!
If AF is late now it should show, so I definitely think it's worth a bash tomorrow!
My AF is now officially late... if nothing tomorrow I plan to test Saturday morning! X

So no bleeding. All I've had is bloody cm which I've only found by checking myself. I've had my silicone cup in all day and nothing!! If it's not here by tomorrow I might try my early digital. But I highly doubt it'll be positive

Trojancheese · 05/01/2023 15:38

Good luck peaky!! Do you really think it sounds promising? I've just seen NHS said if implantation bleed happens it usually does so around the time your period is due. Well that would be a first for me I've never had IB before. Its still weird I had the barely there spotting 2/3 days ago. My last one was a few days late but I didn't know when I ovulated. This time around I know when it happened so surely it should be here today or not at all by that logic?!
I hate waiting for it to start.

Hi everyone!
I'm OK thanks - AF due today, but so far no sign of her (and I usually have some spotting before I properly come on too). Boobs still super sore and swollen and I am very scatty and forgetful today, but that may be tiredness.
I didn't test this morning as if it was negative it would have put me in a bad mood all day! If no period by Saturday morning I will try again.

@trojancheese - sounds very promising! Have you tested?

@gemlou88 - just typical isn't it! We will get there though ladies, I'm sure of it! X

Isn't it weird how when we aren't trying it just happens and when we put in the effort it takes forever? I just don't get it!
I thought my af was starting today as it should be. I'm 14dpo, my LP is always 14 days from my + ovulation test. But all I've had is the odd bit of brown cm! May have also checked my cervix again and it was high and closed. Plus tmi here .. diarrhea 😩 I never get diarrhea, I have ibs and my norm is the other way!
But I fully expect it'll start later on tonight when I'm at work (sods law!! 😂) Or tomorrow.

GemLou88 · 05/01/2023 08:49

Hey @Trojancheese definitely AF for me. It’s heavier than I’m used to, but I’m guessing my body is still adapting to being off the pill. Hoping to be more relaxed about ttc this cycle. Think where I fell quickly with my Son and when I had a mmc I thought it would be quick this time. Don’t want to get stressed out with it all. How are you doing today? Really hoping it’s implantation for you 🤞🏻

Trojancheese · 04/01/2023 20:56

How is it going @GemLou88 ? And how about you @peaky297 ? I got my clearblue ultra early digitals, had a tiny bit more pinky discharge but only when I was having a root around up there 🤣 I don't think I'd have seen it make it to my underwear if I didn't look around!
I don't wanna take a CB incase it's negative 😭

GemLou88 · 04/01/2023 11:12

@peaky297 I’m good thanks lovely. I know it will happen eventually, and I rather know sooner rather than later if I’m out this cycle. And I’ve only been off the pill 2 months. Maybe my body just needs a little more time. Make sure your looking after yourself. Can be consuming and drive yourself crazy. I know I’ve done it too 😂

@GemLou88 hope you're OK- I know how disheartening it can feel!

AF is due tomorrow/ Friday, so if nothing by Saturday I'll test again, but think I need to pause as I'm driving myself mad! 🙈

GemLou88 · 04/01/2023 09:53

@peaky297 feel like I can see a shadow again but it disappears. How frustrating! When is AF due?
Pink has turned more red now and heavier so definitely AF. But like you say at least I’m not waiting around symptom spotting and can focus on the next cycle.
Keep us posted @Trojancheese 🤞🏻

@GemLou88 well on the up side, if it's here you can at least have a fresh slate to try again and a couple of weeks off all the symptom spotting etc (which is exhausting isn't it!?)

@trojancheese - interesting! Perhaps a sign that something is going on! Did you test this morning?

I did another FRER this morning which is a BFN... again, I keep thinking I can see a shadow but given that was the case yesterday too it's probably in my head 🙈 I know its not game over til AF shows, but I am feeling less confident. I still have super sore boobs and fatigue though and today my skin has gone spotty, which never usually happens to me 🤷‍♀️

Pretty sure AF is here for me now. I had no more pink when I wiped yesterday. But this morning there was a lot more pink when I wiped, so I think it’s making a slow appearance

Trojancheese · 04/01/2023 00:38

Thankyou 💜 I'm actually 12dpo, or 13 now we're past midnight. But this must have been in the process yesterday and only just appeared late at night so I'm saying 12dpo.

GemLou88 · 04/01/2023 00:32

Fingers crossed it’s ib for you @Trojancheese how many dpo are you again?

exactly what I’m doing @peaky297 prepare for the worst, hope for the best x

Trojancheese · 04/01/2023 00:26

Well I finished work an hour ago, came home and went for a wee and found a small amount of pink tinged cm. I'm not going to believe it's IB because I've never had that before but on the flipside my af is never early.
Probably nothing though!

peaky297 · 03/01/2023 21:36

Aww @GemLou88 really hoping it's implantation for you - as @Trojancheese said it's within the timeframe and very possible! As my dad always says to me: prepare for the worst, hope for the best!

OP posts:
GemLou88 · 03/01/2023 20:00

@Trojancheese I’m not too sure on my cycles at the moment. I went one the mini pill as soon as I could after having my son 2 years ago, so didn’t have any periods. I came off the pill at the end of October and have had 1 period since. I’m getting some stronger cramping so I’m not being positive on this one

Trojancheese · 03/01/2023 19:56

9dpo is within the implantation timeframe @GemLou88 ! 9dpo seems early to be starting? Unless your LP is less than 14 days

GemLou88 · 03/01/2023 19:11

Just had some pink when I wiped. Think it’s too late for implantation bleeding so I think I’m out

Sounds promising @GemLou88 !!

I still have that achey feeling that I’ve done too many sit ups. Feel a bit nauseous and woke up with a headache/dizzy hungover feeling. But I didn’t sleep great because of my 2yo. App is saying AF due a Sunday

@monsteramunch totally understand - sometimes you just have to do what is best for your mental health. It's such a brutal process.

Do you usually have sore boobs?

OP posts:
monsteramunch · 03/01/2023 14:02

In the (very) sore boob club here too @peaky297

I've decided I'm not going to test until AF is due as it just breaks my heart every time I see a BFN after so long TTC. And even then I'm going to do a digital one so I'm not having to use line eyes and it's just in words.

Hope everyone is doing ok today
