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 😄

I see a line!! Congratulations!

Pitstop1986 · 01/01/2023 08:58

Happy new year everyone! I'm hoping 2023 brings the patter of tiny feet to us all!

@cbear1989 that does sound strange. I'd take a test to definitely rule out pregnancy. That way you know for sure

@ScotsBaby2 Congratulations! I see a line there! What a great start to the new year!

cbear1989 · 01/01/2023 08:55

wow @ScotsBaby2 that defos looks like a positive to me ♥

cbear1989 · 01/01/2023 08:54

Also happy new year everyone!! May 2023 bring us all happiness and babies 😂♥

I'm so confused right now... started having spotting on Friday and again yesterday so i presume maybe I'm just finally having my first natural period. This morning had a bit of blood first thing but my period still hasn't arrived... thinking it must do today else I really have no clue what's going on. Friday I was 15dpo which i surely way too late for any implantation bleeding surely? I'm away for new years in Amsterdam so have had a few drinks and enjoyed myself as i didnt think I was pregnant. Still don't tbh, but my body is def messing with me. Just really strange as i havent had a natural period in years 😧😅

ScotsBaby2 · 01/01/2023 08:44

Is it an actual line? What’s happening? I’m 10 DPO.

It's frustrating isn't it @Downtherabbithole83 ? You just want to know one way or the other, but 2 weeks feels so bloody long to hear potentially life-changing news!

Downtherabbithole83 · 31/12/2022 22:54

@Pitstop1986 same dpo as you buy any hints of symptoms have all disappeared for me. Hoping it’s just too early… I’m wishing this week away!

Pitstop1986 · 31/12/2022 22:26

6/7 dpo.

Symptom spotting for today: tiredness (after a 9.5 hour sleep last night as well!) ,heartburn and I feel like I just need a good cry.

The wait continues...

Realityversus · 31/12/2022 17:18

Can I join in this thread... I'm 10dpo, felt sick for days, have had a dull very low down ache today and boobs have been a little achey but I'm trying to not get my hopes up... Been trying since apr21, have an almost 6yr old, have had simple fertility tests done and all is fine apparently.

Congratulations to all who have had bfps over the last.few days! FX for everyone else!

MexicanDrinkingWorm · 31/12/2022 16:49

@pennysays ive had cramping but I’ve always been quite crampy in general unfortunately. Only thing that feels different is a weird nausea type feeling but in my boobs? It’s not pain just like they’re almost a bit tingly and icky feeling.
sure I had this with my first baby but can’t remember when!
hope everyone else is holding out ok!

Downtherabbithole83 · 31/12/2022 16:33

@MrsL22 my back pain has subsided now after having it for a couple of days but I also now have more CM… I’m trying to get to Monday before testing but not sure I’ll make it (even though I know if I test tomorrow it’ll be a waste of time… glad I bought the cheapies!)

MrsL22 · 31/12/2022 15:51

Hi @pennysays 6dpo and itching to get a few more days down so I can test.
I’ve had pelvic and back pain so far since ovulation and today I’ve had quite a lot of sticky white CM 🤷🏻‍♀️
Who knows what that could be. Hopefully not AF coming early 😢

pennysays · 31/12/2022 13:55

10dpo. Had a long dream before waking about getting a positive test and being so happy. Tested again this morning and a BFN. It’s still early. That dream felt very cruel though.

congratulations @LAgeDeRaisin Your story gives us early testers hope.

Cramping and sore boobs continue.

@MrsSprouse i took my frer apart to ‘see my line better’ but there is no line for me. Hoping for a line progression for you soon.

how is everyone else getting on with symptoms?

Pitstop1986 · 31/12/2022 11:08

@LAgeDeRaisin Congratulations!!! This is amazing news! I'm over the moon for you! I bet you can't believe it after all those negative tests that you got when testing too early.

I would say relax and look after yourself, but if you've got long shifts in A and E you'll be run off your feet!

@MrsSprouse I can see a very faint line, but like you say, 9 dpo is very early. Maybe try in a couple of days (who are we kidding?! You'll be itching to test tomorrow to see the line progression!) Sending all of the baby dust your way for a clearer line tomorrow

MrsSprouse · 31/12/2022 10:59

@MrsL22 I definitely will

@ScotsBaby2 honestly I can barely see it on the picture it was so faint. 9dpo is crazy early so I really should have just waited lol

ScotsBaby2 · 31/12/2022 09:30

@MrsSprouse I struggle to see really faint lines on screen but definitely test again. 9DPO is still really early.

ScotsBaby2 · 31/12/2022 09:28

@LAgeDeRaisin that's real. That's a line! Congratulations x

ScotsBaby2 · 31/12/2022 09:27

Pitstop1986 · 30/12/2022 22:30

Just been scrolling through eBay having a look at cheap pregnancy test strips. I thought that maybe I could buy a few and have them to use for early testing... If they're cheap, you don't mind wasting them!

The earliest delivery date for them is the 6th January! I'm due AF on the 7th, so not really worth it!

I might sneak to the shop and buy a couple. The only problem is that they're so expensive! I have a feeling I'm not going to last until I'm late, so I'm going to need something for next Wednesday/Thursday when curiosity gets the better of me!

Amazon prime next day have 20 for £8.99

MrsL22 · 31/12/2022 09:23

@MrsSprouse a bit of a squinter but I’m definitely hopeful! Test again in a couple of days 🤞🏼X

MrsSprouse · 31/12/2022 08:47

@LAgeDeRaisin CONGRATULATIONS!

MrsSprouse · 31/12/2022 08:46

Tested way too early at 9dpo and I can't tell if the EXTREMELY faint line is real or in my head
