12DPO and as negative as can be this afternoon. Pretty sure I’m out - feeling really down about it tbh.

BCxx · 01/12/2022 15:58

@anotherscroller I would be August too, 22nd based on LMP but my little one will be 2 in august and their birthdays would end up about a week apart if it’s this cycle 😂 hasn’t stopped me trying though!

7dpo and I have given up. I am sooooooo sick with a cold and dealing with a toddler and work (I'm a nurse so on my feet all day) has worn me down. 1 week to go! I've been testing and BFN'S so far but 100% expected that. I keep looking for implantation signs because with my DD I had implantation bleeding and cramps that woke me up in the middle of the night at around 7/8dpo but so far have had nothing of the sort.
Anyone here with kids already have different symptoms for each pregnancy/tww?

Out of interest, when you guys do early testing before AF...when do you do it?xxx

The early tests say 6 days before missed period. So that’s 5 days before it’s due to start . ‘Missed’ period is when it’s late by one day.

Everyone’s different. I find early testing helps because it doesn’t always pick up a pregnancy yet but it might. If it’s negative early I can start preparing to be out by the time Af comes. The few times I’ve just waited until Af I’ve been so down as it’s like a nasty shock.

I’ve just realised if it works this cycle it would be end of august, not September, so I’ll buzz off the thread!
But I am absolutely dying in this 2WW, I can’t deal with it, can’t concentrate on my work, three days til I test. Ugh.

Happy December 🎅🏼🎄✨ here’s hoping this is the month for lots of us!

Soooo after counting myself out… I have an update! (Hopefully pic attaches)

Congratulations!! 🙌🏻

CapricornOnTheCob · 30/11/2022 14:07

Hi all,

Tentatively joining as well. We're on our third month TTC #3, and this is the first cycle after an mc. AF due on the 11th - trying to hold on testing until the 10th but not sure how that'll go Grin
It was also the first time using the CB digital ovulation thingy.
Good luck to all and fingers crossed for nice surprises for the holidays 🪄

@ImpatienceOfASaint congratulations xx

BCxx · 29/11/2022 22:57

Peak last night then had some really sore one sided pains tonight that definitely feel like they’re coming from an ovary! I don’t usually get such strong ovulation pains, it’s usually just the odd niggle and I can’t tell if it’s it or not but this has got to be it. Now just to try and distract myself for a week or so before I can think about itabout testing again 🙈 Putting up the Christmas decorations at the end of the week so that’s one thing to distract me🤣

BCxx · 29/11/2022 22:53

Congratulations @ImpatienceOfASaint 🥰

@Seasidegirll @Roxybabe a BFP on Christmas Day would be amazing! It would have the added bonus of not having to lie your way through any Christmas nights out first 🤣

The first 10 days of the cycle are so tough to get through, as much as the tww is hard, at least at that point you’re holding onto a bit of hope! It will fly in and you’ll be back in the tww again before you know it!

ImpatienceOfASaint · 29/11/2022 22:26

Thank you so much everyone! It’s not sunk in at all yet

Hi ladies - joining if that's ok.
We have a lovely 16mo baby girl and have decided we're ready to try for a second, so currently on day 11 of 'cycle 1'

I told myself I'd be chill about it because financially the longer it takes the better....but have already started using OPKs and ordered some pre-seed. What can I say, once I've got my mind set on something, that's it.

Period due around 20th Dec so a BFP would be a Lovely Christmas present 🥰

Northbynorthbreast · 29/11/2022 20:54

How exciting @ImpatienceOfASaint . I’m testing tomorrow 14 days after embie transfer. X

buckingmad · 29/11/2022 20:06

Hi all, hope it’s okay for me to join in! First cycle TTC baby number 2, currently on cycle day 11. Trying OPK for the first time, my cycles have always been on the longer side 31-35 days and I’m interested in knowing when I ovulate. Going to try to wait until AF is late before testing, but we all know how that’s probably going to go 🥴

Think AF is coming today and then my December period will be due around 26th/27th Dec. Have felt abit obsessive and I feel like I need a little break from MN and googling for a couple of weeks, catch up with you all in my next TWW! Good luck to anyone testing soon! Big hug to anybody struggling!! ❤️

Wishing you all the best lovely, it can be so frustrating and overwhelming!
