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?

@GemLou88 interesting to know! Maybe that shadow.we think we can see is just an evap... Time will tell!

Any symptoms today?
My boobs are still very sore - they feel bruised! 🙈 I'd usually be having a bit of cramping by now, but don't just the odd ping which is on the sides rather than the middle. All very odd 🤔

@peaky297 when I was pregnant with my son I never got a positive on them until I did with the clear blue digital with weeks. And I’ve seen lots of ladies have indents on them and lots of ladies complaining about them lately.
Sorry for you BFN this morning @Trojancheese like you say anything could happen.

I think it may just be our eyes seeing what we want to see. Will do another FRER tomorrow morning and if that's still negative I think I'll need to prepare for the fact that it may not be my month!

@trojancheese good luck with your test tomorrow - let us know how it goes!

@gemlou88 - you are still very early days, so think you are definitely still in the running!! Why don't you trust FRERs? Do a lot of People gey false positives on them?

Trojancheese · 03/01/2023 11:13

@GemLou88 I did with a cheapie annnnddd... Bfn ☹️ I've got some early clearblue digitals coming tomorrow. But I've lost interest in using them so it's like my defences saying nope you're not pregnant don't give yourself the heartache! Anything could happen though.

GemLou88 · 03/01/2023 10:56

Sorry @peaky297 im not much help. I think I can see a shadow of a line, but I zoom in and it disappears.
@Trojancheese have you tested again?
Im 9dpo and a stark white bfn this morning in an easy@home. I do have some FRER tests that I can use tomorrow but I don’t really trust them. Should really wait until Friday to test

Trojancheese · 03/01/2023 09:46

I think I can see a shadow peaky. I'm also 11dpo today, I'm sure I felt some light cramping too so who knows!
How is everyone today? My husband has gone back to work after 10 days off & I'm on a long shift to cover tonight 😩

@Trojancheese sorry to hear that- how many dpo are you? You could still be in with a shout!

Gem lou - sounds promising!

I did a FRER this morning with FMU and I'm pretty sure it's a BFN... I keep thinking that I can see a very slight shadow, but if I'm being honest with myself I'm probably just seeing what I want to see 🙈 pic below

Trojancheese · 02/01/2023 19:03

I got a negative frer with fmu today @peaky297 :( that could mean I'm out already but who knows. Apart from that I literally feel no different. Nothing is new just normal.
@GemLou88 I remember with my last pregnancy writing something down in an app along the lines of 'feels like loads of situps'.
Not everyone has symptoms though!

GemLou88 · 02/01/2023 18:39

I’ve been getting some on and off cramps on my left side, and low down centrally an ache like I’ve done too many sit ups. Absolutely shattered again today. But reading other people’s symptoms around now who got a BFP, I don’t think this is my month.
Hows everyone else feeling?

@Trojancheese how did you get on with the frer? 🤞
How's everyone else today?

@GemLou88 I have one more frer for tomorrow morning 🤞 Really hoping since I got my last faint positive at 10dpo it'll happen again!
@ScotsBaby2 congratulations how lovely! How are you feeling in yourself?
@Stilltobeseen and @peaky297 best of luck to you both on getting a bfp soon!! 💜 It all sounds do far so good for both of you

Thanks for asking. I feel like my uterus is really heavy!! I had a dream about giving birth so that's fun! Hopefully that's a one off.

GemLou88 · 01/01/2023 22:21

Congratulations @ScotsBaby2 !

fingers crossed for you too @peaky297 and @Stilltobeseen. I agree it does sound like it could be implantation.

@Trojancheese i think I can see a shadow of a line. Have you got anymore tests for tomorrow?

Trojancheese · 01/01/2023 21:52

Hi everyone! I've been reading through the last few posts and really hope everything is going in the right direction for you all <3
I think I'm due on this Thursday, about 10dpo tomorrow. I had a weird shadow yesterday on a frer but getting mixed responses if it's a line or not. I'm gonna attach it cos I can't stop looking at the photo since I threw the test away 😂

ScotsBaby2 · 01/01/2023 21:31

No real symptoms atm except some muscle pulling in my tummy. I had no symptoms with my son except the muscle thing until 12 weeks then had 2 weeks of sickness then nothing.
My daughter I was sick from implantation until 16 weeks then the sickness left and I got heartburn instead.

We will see what happens this time!

peaky297 · 01/01/2023 21:27

@Stilltobeseen that sounds a lot like implantation to me 🙏🤞 keep us posted!!

@scotsbaby huge congratulations!!! What a lovely gift for the new year! Any other symptoms?

@GemLou crossing my fingers for you!!

I caved and took a test... was negative but very aware I'm only about 8dpo and its evening pee. I shouldn't have done it really, but couldn't help myself 🙈 now I feel disappointed. I never learn! Haha

Oh how exciting!! @ScotsBaby2 congratulations!!

I'm in the tww as well. Due on the 8th of Jan. I'm 9dpo atm. Don't really feel any different to normal tbh. A few cramps today which could be typical pre-AF stuff. Only 'symptoms' I've noticed so far is I was woken up in the night with an insane cramp on 7dpo (May have just been in my head but who knows) and then on 8dpo woke up to a streak of brown on my pants. Like negligible amount, nothing when I wiped and nothing since.
Boobs have been a wee bit sensitive but nothing more than normal for this time of the month, same with bloating. Oh something random that isn't normal for me is my sex drive is high when it's normally non existent at this time.
Currently sipping a rum as I genuinely don't think I am but we shall see by next weekend

My sex drive has been high the last few days too which is unusual for me. Also darker areoles. I got a positive today at 10DPO. Good luck!

Happy New Year Everyone! Hope it’s happy, healthy and full of BFPs!!

@peaky297 sounds like positive signs. When are you testing? I’m 7dpo today, yesterday and today I’ve had some mild cramping and headaches. I’m so drained today I’ve not long woke up from a nap on the sofa. Literally couldn’t keep my eyes open. But like you could be from this week and a late night last night. My boobs feel a bit heavier and my nipples slightly sensitive and I guess puffy is a good way to describe too. I checked my cervix and it seems to be quite high. Sounds positive on paper but we will see 🤞🏻

peaky297 · 01/01/2023 19:42

Happy New Year everyone!

How are you all? Anyone besides me and @GemLou88 in the TWW at the moment?

AF is due in 3 days - my boobs are so effing sore in the nipple area and today my nips are looking a little darker and puffier than usual, so not sure if that's a sign? I have also been especially tired the last couple of days, but that could just be Xmas week combined with PMS!

@GemLou88 how are you getting on xx

GemLou88 · 29/12/2022 22:14

@peaky297 it was lovely thank you. And a relief when I finally ovulated. Fingers crossed we DTD enough. If O was CD 24, we managed to dtd CD’s 19, 21, 23 and 24. But I’m still not feeling confident. I’m only 4dpo so we will see. It’s too early to symptom spot. Those are some good signs. And I’m jealous your a few dpo more than me 😂it does drag. Are you feeling confident this month? I know what you mean on spending a fortune on tests, I know I did too 🤦‍♀️

peaky297 · 29/12/2022 21:55

@GemLou88 it was lovely thanks, hope yours was fab too?
Into the 2 week wait you go then! Hope you found time over the festive period to dtd! Feeling confident?
I haven't done ovulation tests, but from listening to my body / EWCM I think I ovulated somewhere around weds last week, so think I'm approx a week dpo.
Boobs are very sore and I've had some mad mood swings the last day or so, but that's not unusual for me at this time of the month. Trying to hold off testing for another few days at least as last month I spent a fortune on tests! 🙈😆

GemLou88 · 28/12/2022 19:45

Hi all. Hope you all had a lovely Christmas. How are you all doing?
I think I’m 3dpo. I got the static smiley on the 22nd. Peaks on OPK’s on 23rd and 24th. Another static smiley on the 25th morning, but through the day my OPK’s went down really quickly. I’m taking 25th at O day 🤞🏻

@monsteramunch sounds like you have DTD plenty, so hopefully you will have caught your window!

Question for those of you who use ovulation tests and also have ovulation pain - does your pain come before, during or after your egg release in your experience?.
