Did another test this morning and another negative. My little one saw me peeing in the cup so expecting that he will now talk about that all day!! Ive only recently thought about having a 2nd @Clouless but finally feeling mentally ready!

NWnature · 02/02/2023 22:45

So glad to hear all the positives are progressing well.

@gettingprepped sorry to hear about your chemical. I had one last month too and think I am having another now , if that is what bleeding at 8-10DPO is!? Fingers crossed we have better luck in February!

@Clouless good question! I’m not sure what changed but I finally felt ready once my son turned 2. I feel like he will absolutely love a sibling if we can give him one. I didn’t have a TTC journey with him so even though I tried to have realistic expectations this time round, it’s knocked me for six a bit having a chemical off the bat and now not sure what is going on. How old is your little one and did you have a difficult TTC journey with #1?

Clouless · 02/02/2023 21:15

Hello. Think I'm tentatively joining here too... A bit scared to take the leap into ttc again but kind of think it makes sense to get going again!
How did you all decided to start trying for number 2? 🤔

gettingprepped · 02/02/2023 21:11

Amazing to see so many BFPs already, congratulations everyone! Count me in on the journey please! TTC #2, stopped the pill just after #1 turned 2 in Nov. Had a chemical last month, crossing fingers for Feb. Good luck to us all :)

Congratulations @Halpmer , I’m with on the hunger=nausea thing. It’s my youngests 1st birthday today, and we’ve not had our tea yet. Just put the kids to bed, and hubby has gone out for a dominos!

I told my husband today (I always like to keep pregnancy to myself for the first day or two so I can be 100% certain before telling him), and although he didn’t really want a third he is really excited!

@WhiteHorse92 that’s a good result with afternoon urine so early! Maybe wait a day and use FMU and you’ll have a blazing positive!

Going to use my other FRER tomorrow morning with FMU and I shall update! I've found with both tests once they've been left to dry a few hours the line looks really pink but still looks colourless on camera 😐

Did another FRER, got another line that came up within 3 minutes! It's obvious and definitely pink in real life but it is actually fainter than yesterday's and barely visible in the photo but has only been 30 hours between and not done with FMU today so I think it's to be expected. I know I should wait until the weekend to test again but tempted to use my other FRER tomorrow morning with FMU and see what happens. Going out tomorrow morning anyway so can pick up more tests if I'm still not convinced 👀

congrats @Halpmer !!! 🥰🥰 fingers crossed these all stick 🤞🏼🤞🏼
im exactly the same with hunger = nausea!
im actually currently away skiing in Austria. A trip that’s been booked for months. I’m 5 weeks 4 days and the nausea and smell aversions have just hit 😷

Looper2 · 02/02/2023 13:15

Yay!! Congratulations @Halpmer ❤️

Halpmer · 02/02/2023 09:36

Hi everyone! It's great to see more BFPs happening! Nice to see this thread growing too. Been crazy busy with the strike going on and trying to make it so that it wouldn't be crippling to take the day to actually go and strike!

My positives are growing stronger, I would've been on day 2 of period now so I think I'm going to stop testing!

Nausea is definitely building, had to snack on some tangfastics on the way in to work this morning as a wave of it came over me on the train. Must remember: hunger = nausea now!

Panicking all day yesterday that my positive could have been an indent so tested again today, instead of waiting until the weekend as I planned. Line is still there and definitely darker. (Top line is today)

Ooo looks promising! I'm getting 2 more FRERs delivered today, was going to wait until tomorrow at least but I know I'll end up doing one this evening! Once my test yesterday was dried the line was very obvious and pink so keeping my finger crossed! If I get another line later I'm tempted to buy a digital tomorrow 👀

Good luck to everyone waiting - so impatient I am so distracted. But picked up those FRER tests so will do on on Friday (should be 12DPO by then), can’t believe the difference in sensitivity when I googled! Feel like an idiot falling for Clear Blue’s marketing haha

Smiffette · 01/02/2023 12:14

New to this thread, I've been TTC since October 2022, no2.

1st pregnancy resulted in MMC in April 2019
2nd pregnancy gave us our DD June 2020

Now 3 DPO and impatiently waiting until I can test

Good luck ladies!

Shiny88 · 01/02/2023 11:17

Hi guys can I join in please,
Congratulations those who have got their BFP 🎉

I'm trying for number 2. Have been trying since September 2021 and had one miscarriage in December 2021. Had nothing since.
Having bloods this month to see if I'm ovulating properly.

Xx

Tabbycat92 · 01/02/2023 11:12

@Looper2 FRER test are far more sensitive than clear blue. Generally pink dye tests are more sensitive than blue. The most sensitive tests I’ve used are the easy@home strips you get on Amazon.

Tabbycat92 · 01/02/2023 11:11

@WhiteHorse92 yours looks the same as mine, and I was the same that it was stark white to start with, the line appeared after a minute of staring at it. Fingers crossed for us both 🤞

Mummyo1 · 01/02/2023 11:00

@Looper2 clear blue digital need much higher hcg levels in order to be positive. FRER are the most sensitive on the market, however they have terrible indents and can often look positive when they arent

Looper2 · 01/02/2023 10:49

Congratulations @Tabbycat92 and @WhiteHorse92 ❤️❤️❤️Would you recommend those tests over the clear blue digital ones?

sorry to hear that @NWnature - how are you feeling? X

NWnature · 01/02/2023 10:01

I can definitely see the line @WhiteHorse92 fingers crossed!

What I was hoping yesterday was implantation bleeding turned into more overnight so I am really unsure now but guess this is start of a new cycle post chemical? I’ve logged it in my app as a period anyway. I’m 9DPO/CD24 but I think it’s too bright red to be implantation , I didn’t get anything when I conceived my first. I guess I can do a test over the next couple of days but it seems very unlikely to be good news. This makes the post chemical cycle only 23 days which is weird but maybe my body is just resetting? Anyone got any thoughts?

WhiteHorse92 · 01/02/2023 09:43

Did my other Frer this morning, assumed it would be like my positive Covid test from the weekend and if it was going to be positive it would show straight away, straight away thought nah that's a BFN, came back after looking at my phone for a few mins (maybe around 3 mins after taking the test but less than 5) and I have this! I absolutely get it now when people say they have an obvious line or the line has colour but the camera doesn't pick it up. It's obvious and very much staring me in the face and definitely has colour, but it is faint and thin and I've read enough posts on here to know not to trust this. I don't use OPKs or do any tracking, all I know is I came off the pill, had a bleed, then had a 25 day cycle then a period on 4th Jan which now puts me on CD29, don't know for sure obviously when I ovulated or implanted and no sign of period yet but feel as though I should have a darker line by now? Will do another test on Friday so I guess I'll know for sure in a couple of days.

Good luck for tomorrow @Tabbycat92 !

I’ve had some light spotting this eve (brown blood - tmi sorry!) so praying it’s implantation though I didn’t have this with my son or with my chemical last month. I will be 9DPO tomorrow!

Tabbycat92 · 31/01/2023 20:31

AF was due today, and that’s basing it on a 31 day cycle when last month was only 28. Boobs are itchy too this evening. I might test tomorrow morning….. eek
