Hi,

Currently trying for DC 2, already have a 2 year old DS.

I should have ovulated today 🤞🏻🤞🏻

Anyone else entering the TWW? Due AF 7th Jan but will probably end up testing a couple days before 😄

@Livingonhope I really hope that you are right! Someone on another thread said they couldn't tell still 🤷‍♀️ I still keep thinking because I was already late it won't make a difference at this point 😂

Livingonhope · 11/01/2023 19:59

@CloudyVenus so the close up one if you zoom in on your phone I see a very faint line for you so if it helps we can have line eyes together I really hope it progressed for you ❤️

I’m also in the late period but negative test crew. VERY annoying as I’ve been feeling like my periods coming for about 5 days now, wish it would hurry up.
i might do another test tomorrow morning but I’ve done 4 now as recent as yesterday and all negative

CloudyVenus · 11/01/2023 19:53

@Livingonhope Good idea! Haven't tried that yet. Here they are:

@CloudyVenus have you tried inverting the photo???

CloudyVenus · 11/01/2023 19:26

@Livingonhope Sorry the photo quality doesn't seem to be there!

CloudyVenus · 11/01/2023 19:25

@Livingonhope No problem. I haven't done anymore as of yet but this was the test I did the other day. Pretty sure are just indents if anything as I've had it happen before 🤦‍♀️

@CloudyVenus sorry this was to you!

Livingonhope · 11/01/2023 19:02

Have you had a chance to do any more tests? Sending luck your way!

DancingNancies · 11/01/2023 17:01

@MrsL22 @Downtherabbithole83 definitely don't Google, it's not good for you at all - says someone who's been obsessively googling at 2am for the last few days! 🙄

@CloudyVenus currently 4 days late here, haven't been able to get any more sensitive tests (initially had 10miu but can only get 25 atm!) so nothing to compare to, but still only super faint so in a limbo atm - no period, but no BFP either!

Trying to put off buying any more tests, trying not to think about it or what might happen, but when I'm currently teaching how pregnancy tests work it's kinda hard to forget! 😫

CloudyVenus · 11/01/2023 13:32

AF supposedly 3 days late here.. did a test 2 days ago and I think I have line eyes 🤦‍♀️

MrsL22 · 11/01/2023 07:29

@Downtherabbithole83 that would be great! I should be expecting a phone call from my GP at some point to discuss as I got myself into a right state about it last night. Period worries coupled with the fact that my best friend gave birth to a beautiful baby boy yesterday just sent me into meltdown. I’ve googled and that made it much worse so I don’t recommend that 😢

Downtherabbithole83 · 10/01/2023 22:24

@MrsL22 my AF seems to have almost stopped this evening so I understand your anxiety - I don’t know much around period flow and conception but I’ve had similar worries. I’ve not googled yet as that’s not a rabbit hole I’m willing to go down at this point… going to just do my opks and go from there.

I should have a follow-up meeting with the consultant sometime within the next month so I might ask then if this period does stop now… if I get any useful information then I’ll share it!

Livingonhope · 10/01/2023 17:46

Evening all how is everyone doing? positive ovulation test today so REALLY hoping this month is our month!!

MrsL22 · 10/01/2023 17:41

Thanks for the tip! Might have to get some as we plan on dtd every other day for a few weeks to see what happens 🙈

MrsL22 · 10/01/2023 17:37

Softcup? Is that a menstrual cup? Or am I being thick?! 😂🙈
We use conceive plus, which I’m assuming does the same as preseed?
Honestly - I’m willing to try anything at this point so accepting all suggestions!

Yeah 🤣 I didn't like conceive plus. Didn't work for me. Preseed so much better. Feels nicer.

@Emmamoo89 thats good news! How long did it take?

I took it just one cycle. Also used soft cup and preseed. Definitely all helped. Left soft cup in for 12 hours

MrsL22 · 10/01/2023 17:27

How are you @Downtherabbithole83 ??

MrsL22 · 10/01/2023 17:27

Evening! AF has gone - again only 3 days and really quite light (more like 2 as day 3 purely spotting) - I’m worried this is a bad sign and I won’t be able to get pregnant again? I did fall pregnant in October but lost it early and wondering if uterine lining has anything to do with it 😢

Emmamoo89 · 10/01/2023 17:24

MrsL22 · 08/01/2023 10:41

My periods have been super light since having my IUD removed! Never enough to fill a pad in one day and only last 2-3 days of more brown-ish spotting.
This period has seemed slightly heavier though and constantly when I wipe nice fresh red blood (as nice as that can be 😂🙈) so I’m kinda enjoying that and hoping it might mean my body is better prepared for a pregnancy (next month 🤞🏼)
Concerned after reading that pregnacare has been linked with cycle changes in other women but all the research (teacher brain) suggests this is purely coincidental. So I’m going to try it anyway as I’ve heard a few people say they fell pregnant quickly after starting.
I’m going to try and not symptom spot this month. I’m not going to stop logging on my apps everyday and just take a little pressure off. I may or may not do OPKs around ovulation time but I’m going to just DTD as often as we like and take care of myself - a little R&R - focus on something else like a regular exercise routine or something.
DH and I want a baby soooo bad - I’m starting to question whether that is what is holding us back.

I fell pregnant on pregnacare

Downtherabbithole83 · 10/01/2023 17:18

Evening all! How is everyone doing today?

DancingNancies · 09/01/2023 19:31

@Mrsrobinsonx I first tested Wednesday so fingers crossed for tomorrow! If I could get a BFN I'd actually be a little relieved rn instead of this weird limbo of not knowing!

Did another cheapy test tonight as supermarket were out of their more sensitive ones and im not wasting £10 on an almost certain negative 😅 - the line is still there, almost invisible but it exists...I'm also annoyingly hydrated atm and always wee in the middle of the night so getting a concentrated sample is incredibly difficult, so I don't know what my situation is but I wish my body would make it's bloody mind up! 🙄

@cdn298 so sorry to hear you've got covid again - 4 times is very unlucky! I hope you're not feeling too rubbish!

TWW Buddies..
cdn298 · 09/01/2023 15:45

I still have had no more signs of AF. Bfn again yesterday, I'll test again in a few days if no sign.
I tested positive with covid again today for the 4th time so I feel like complete crap about everything 😩
