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?

Still in the OPK stage here, it's as maddening as ever!

Static smiley clearblue digital advanced yesterday afternoon (yay!) but negative (decent but not as dark as a positive would be) strip OPK yesterday afternoon and this morning.

DTD last night and will do again tonight - was really excited about us getting the timing right with the static smiley.

But so confusing now the strip OPK still isn't positive. Ugh.

Assuming I do ovulate in the next 24 hours, we'll have DTD:

O
-1
-2
-4

@GemLou88 yes, sounds like we have synced! Will be nice to have a TWW buddy on the same schedule!
I've not used an ovulation stick, but might try one later!
Get BD'ing!! Haha

Hey @peaky297 how you doing? I was expecting O on cd15 but never came. Finally got a static smiley on clear blue ovulation tests yesterday and peak on ic OPK’s today. I’m on cd22 so will take ovulation as tomorrow then back into the tww I go. Looks like we might test around the same time 🤞🏻🤞🏻

@Nic2908 sorry forgot to answer your question- the seven seas TTC ones! Weirdly they didn't mess things up when I was trying for my first- I stayed regular and fell pregnant within 3 months. That was 4 years and a baby ago though, so my body has probably changed!

Hello Lovely Ladies!
Firstly a big congratulations to those who have had BFPs - wonderful news just in time for Christmas ❤️
Sorry to have gone AWOL, I just needed a few weeks not thinking about it all! AF eventually arrived and today I have found I have a lot of EWCM, so it must be game time!

How are you all doing? X

@May94x thats amazing!! Congratulations 🥳

Hey girls how is everyone doing?

I took a step back from this thread after my BFN last month as TTC was really getting me down and just wanted to enjoy December/Xmas.

So I’ve done no ovulation tests/BBT tracking and we’ve only DTD once this month. Only did a test because I have a smear test this morning and I’m in shock I wasn’t expecting this at all 😊little Christmas miracle

Sorry AF came @anotherscroller mine came at 11dpo. Like you say at least no waiting around. It’s gone again now so waiting for my fertile window. App is predicting ovulation on the 16th 🤞🏻
@nadsc aww hope your daughter had a lovely 1st birthday. Glad your husband has taken it well, hope you’re managing to be excited now

nadsc · 07/12/2022 07:45

Hey, sorry I haven’t been active! It was my daughters first birthday and we had family down. Yes we did a test together on Sunday but I’d already been saying I think I’m pregnant 😂 he’s taken this so much better than my last pregnancy which was why I was avoiding telling him even though it was planned. Mental I know. How are you all?

anotherscroller · 07/12/2022 06:19

My AF showed up at 12dpo! At least there’s no waiting…

GemLou88 · 06/12/2022 19:01

How’s everyone doing pray?
@nadsc did you test with your husband at the weekend?

anotherscroller · 05/12/2022 11:04

Thanks @monsteramunch, don’t think so though …

Stilltobeseen · 05/12/2022 09:22

Pretty sure I'm out, been spotting since 9dpo now 11dpo. Mostly pinkish a little red at times. Looks like my normal pre period spotting which annoyingly has returned. After having my DD it kind of went away and obviously in the past two months has started again in time for ttc number 2.

monsteramunch · 05/12/2022 09:16

@anotherscroller

Got everything crossed this is your month Flowers

11DPO today and feel really nauseous 😬

anotherscroller · 05/12/2022 06:10

Unfortunately it’s a bfn at 10dpo. Still holding our hope but not much.

anotherscroller · 04/12/2022 20:07

@Bee1994 keep in touch! For me it’s been the longest tww ever. Insane is the word.

Bee1994 · 04/12/2022 19:53

@anotherscroller so relieved to find someone else on their first iui! Yes definitely feeling like I won’t test early incase the trigger isn’t fully out of my system. I’ve definitely been having mood swings the past couple of days too!

Nic2908 · 04/12/2022 19:49

@peaky297 completely missed this, which tablets were you taking. When I was trying for my first I started taking the pregnacare ones and they messed my cycle up royally!! It’s so strange isn’t it. I’ve used the Severn seas ones this time. You would think that vitamins could do that would you. Just goes to show.

good luck @Bee1994

anotherscroller · 04/12/2022 19:48

@Bee1994 first IUI club 🙌
I’m 9dpo and haven’t tested yet because of the shot. I’ve had dramatic mood swings too since the shot, if it helps.

anotherscroller · 04/12/2022 19:46

@peaky297 something similar happened to me. I started taking coenzyme q10 just because it was on special offer at boots and I randomly had a 52 day cycle! After 13 months of 29-37 days. It taught me not to mess around with supplements. This one especially is apparently to support quality eggs but my egg count is high and I’m under 35, so completely pointless. Stick to just the folic acid and a pregnancy multivitamin is now my advice to all.

Bee1994 · 04/12/2022 19:41

@Nic2908 oh wow congratulations! What a good line!

monsteramunch · 04/12/2022 19:40

Oh wow @Nic2908 that's a great line! Congrats Flowers

Bee1994 · 04/12/2022 19:38

Thanks @GemLou88 official test date is the 15th which just feels so far away!

GemLou88 · 04/12/2022 19:37

Looks like a good line to me @Nic2908 congratulations!
@peaky297 AF came fully on friday and I’m glad to be taking a break from testing. So strange the tablets did that to you. Hopefully we can support each other through the next tww and get BFP for Christmas!

Good luck @Bee1994 when is your test day? Fingers crossed for you 🤞🏻
