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 😄

@Downtherabbithole83 of course we can keep the thread going! It'll just be more like a 6ww rather than a 2ww if we don't get lucky this cycle! 😁

Downtherabbithole83 · 05/01/2023 21:56

@Pitstop1986 doesn’t everyone cry at Frozen anyway? Or is that just me… Disney films get me every time (Encanto is the worst for it at the moment).

Seriously though, sounds like your symptoms really could go either way. Keep us updated!

I’ve still only got the lower back pain and it has now been over 24 hours with it accompanied by no other symptoms. I checked and with my pregnancy in Sept I knew by 9/10 dpo so I think something would be showing up by now if I was still in the game.

Obviously we will continue this thread until all of us have babies, right?! 😁

@Pitstop1986 I feel like this is all really promising you know!!

Pitstop1986 · 05/01/2023 21:44

I've been getting some horrible stomach cramps today and had a little cry watching Frozen this afternoon if anyone is interested in my current symptoms 😂

Pitstop1986 · 05/01/2023 21:39

Well, I've had no more bleeding. If there's no more tomorrow, I'll join everyone for a Saturday test!

AF due Saturday, so if it's not here, probably a good time to test!

MexicanDrinkingWorm · 05/01/2023 21:23

@DancingNancies im with you for Saturday! I also only have 2 tests left so feel if that’s also negative I need to have one last back up 😂

DancingNancies · 05/01/2023 20:07

I'd love to test but I've only got one test left, and I want to use it Saturday before I go out in case AF is late for no good reason 😆I know if I buy another box I'll get loads just so I can constantly POAS so I'm trying to hold out as best I can. This is why I don't tell DH until anything happens as he'd be horrified by the number of tests! 😂

MrsL22 · 05/01/2023 20:04

Why not indeed! I can’t believe we had no BFPs between us yesterday. There HAS to be better news tomorrow 🤞🏼

Downtherabbithole83 · 05/01/2023 19:59

If you’re testing then so will I @MrsL22 . I only have IC and am expecting a negative but why not!

MrsL22 · 05/01/2023 19:56

@everyone who else is in Friday club then? I’m not gonna lie I’m expecting BFN but I’m gonna use FRER and then if nothing, wait for AF 🤞🏼

Downtherabbithole83 · 05/01/2023 18:55

I’ve still got the same period pains that suggest AF will arrive in the next couple of days. I’ll still probably test tomorrow morning if others are but wouldn’t be surprised if AF has started before then if how I’ve felt today is anything to go by!

MrsL22 · 05/01/2023 18:38

I’m the same. Spots today which are a pain and suggest AF. Definitely imaginary lines on tests. 👎🏼
Obviously not out until AF shows but not holding out much hope 😢

DancingNancies · 05/01/2023 18:01

In total agreement re the waiting! The enormous collection of spots I've accumulated the last couple of days suggest AF is coming (beautifully clear skin both previous pregnancies!) and any previous lines were imaginary/t me to be but I refuse to test any further - just wishing it was Saturday now so it's done for another month and I can crack on trying again! 🙄

Downtherabbithole83 · 05/01/2023 17:51

@Pitstop1986 the waiting is the worst…

Pitstop1986 · 05/01/2023 17:29

@Downtherabbithole83 TTC you also think that you know your body, then spend each day questioning whether or not this is normal for you!

Still no more bleeding from me, since late morning, but that feeling down below that you've just come on your period. I must be going to the loo every 30 mins just to check if AF has arrived yet or not! This is horrible!

Downtherabbithole83 · 05/01/2023 16:26

@Pitstop1986 I’ve never experienced implantation bleeding in any of my pregnancies so wouldn’t know what it’s like.

Ttc is a constant rollercoaster of questions, emotions and uncertainty.

Pitstop1986 · 05/01/2023 15:20

@Downtherabbithole83 I've put a pad on, but it's very stop/start spotting. I had nothing last night, quite a bit of thick brown discharge late morning, then nothing since. I'm sure AF will start in full force any minute. I think there's too much for it to be implantation bleeding.

I only had a tiny bit of pink mucus on one wipe with DD

Downtherabbithole83 · 05/01/2023 10:20

@cdn298 not out yet then - everyone keeps telling me you’re not out until AF arrives! (Though like you, I find it hard to stay positive)

@Pitstop1986 I read a thread on here in the night about someone who had spotting for 7 days before their BFP. Has AF actually started properly for you yet?

Pitstop1986 · 05/01/2023 10:10

If it makes you feel better @cdn298 I tested negative the day before AF with DD and only got my BFP a few days later (although didn't test in between so not sure when the positive would have turned up)

Sorry to hear that @cdn298

When is AF due?

cdn298 · 05/01/2023 08:10

I tested again today🙈 I'm too impatient.
BFN again today, I'm ruling this month out now 😔

Downtherabbithole83 · 05/01/2023 06:52

I am proud of myself because I didn’t test today! So silly. What have I become?! 😂🤦‍♀️

MrsL22 · 05/01/2023 06:47

I’m starting to think I’m out too. Another BFN on a cheapy stick and I’m getting cramps that feel more like AF than anything 👎🏼

Downtherabbithole83 · 05/01/2023 06:00

Oh no @Pitstop1986 - really sorry to hear that AF has arrived.
