Hello!

TTC #2, 36 yo. I should be dpo 1 today, I could feel ovulation yesterday evening, had peak opk yesterday morning.

I will try to test only on day when AF due, so next Sunday, as I've had 2 chemicals so unfortunately not expecting magic.

@Plumsugarlump how many dpo are you? Disclaimer on implantation bleeding, I had a chemical with that one, but with my first (successful) pregnancy, I had some bleeding on and off throughout the first few weeks. Do you normally spot? I never spot, so if I get some spotting, I know I'm pregnant

@Tes004 I'm good! I had a really good night of sleep, so insomnia is gone as of yesterday. I did wake up few times but gone back to sleep right back.
It has been the weirdest tww for me, I've had so many symptoms on and off, I've convinced myself I'm pregnant at times and then other times I know I'm not pregnant 😂
Right now, I'm just taking it day by day, going to try to have a nice weekend with the family.

Btw, those with young kids, how do you manage to dtd on those important days? 😂 I'm so tired after putting my son to sleep that I don't feel like doing anything but netflix haha. Also sometimes stressed trying to finish work after putting him to sleep 😴

@HelloMoon87 we’re trying for DC3 and I’ve never had bleeding before but that’s reassuring to hear!

BFN again this morning but no more bleeding, going to try and wait it out until Monday/Tuesday before I test again as I get so disappointed even though I know it’s early to test 😂🤦🏻‍♀️

@missmae ohhh I know what you mean, it is hard to manage expectations during tww, so many ups and downs. I also tested negative yesterday and this morning, but don't count yourself out yet! It's the weekend anyway, so the time will hopefully pass easier with more to do.

@Plumsugarlump I had implantation bleeding on day of AF, it's possible!

@MrsP20202 how are you? Aww I know when symptoms go, it is worrying, but in my pregnancy they came and went every other day, it seems to be super normal! And every pregnancy is different, but I definitely understand how hard it is to be pregnant after a loss. When are you booking your scan? Keep us updated!

So a weird symptom, but my left nipple is itchy sorry TMI but this a conception chat after all 😂😂

never had before but is it a symptom? Who knows anymore, feel I’m going crazy!

cosymama2020 · 14/07/2023 09:04

@longingtobe23 honestly please don’t count yourself out until AF shows! With my first DC I didn’t get my BFP until I was 4 days late. And that was on a first response, Clearblue didn’t come up positive for me until I was a week late! I was having doctors ringing saying my blood tests were showing as positive but the tests were negative. There’s still hope until AF. I know it’s really hard and so disheartening but sometimes a woman’s body likes to keeps us on our toes!

I felt like the start of this week was dragging and now I can’t believe how quickly it’s gone. I’m either 5/6 dpo today (5 by Flo tracking, 6 by opks). I’m definitely overthinking the gas cramps and thinking they’re implantation but think I might be a bit early for that?

So I had a couple of glasses of Prosecco last night to chill and toast to some big work news and I felt smashed. I had to go to bed at 9pm! Woke up this morning and did a 6am spin class as I felt a big groggy (hungover) but I can normally sink a bottle of bubbles and just feel very merry. 2 glasses and I was giggling, flirting, liking everyone’s Instagram posts 😂

Out of interest, how long has everyone been trying for? This is our first cycle properly trying with opks but I’ve been off contraception since May.

longingtobe23 · 14/07/2023 08:27

I’m a day away and all negatives now
sad times but hey ho

if for some sad reason another thread does go up with members let me know ☺️😉

however I hope to see none of you as you’ll all be pregnant of course 🍀✨

bookworm100 · 14/07/2023 08:18

Hi everyone! Congratulations on BFP @MrsP20202 and @pinkandredflowers !

Just catching up after travelling to my parents' place yesterday. I did a test late last night and convinced myself I could see the slightest whisper of a shadow that my OH obviously see 😂 so I'll be testing again today!

Don't want to do it yet as have to do a big drive this morning and want to be with OH when I do it so will be testing this afternoon!

I think I've had some more cramping (why is it so difficult to tell the difference between cramping and bowel stuff!?), still got headache and sore boobs come and go. 11DPO by LH today (9 by temp rise) so we shall see!

Good luck to anyone who hasn't tested yet! Don't be disheartened @missmae - we still have time! Flowers

pm24 · 14/07/2023 08:17

@Tes004 this cycle of mine was my first clomid at 100mg. I hadn't ovulated in nearly 2 years before and I did with this so was super happy. Now I've past the first hurdle of ovulation I think if im not successful this cycle then will look at what the issue is as it could be progesterone levels. Really hoping it doesn't come to that. There's still some time so fingers crossed for you too! Flowers

Tes004 · 14/07/2023 08:11

@missmae how many days dpo are you now? It’s so tough even when you don’t think about it it’s still at the back of our mind …
@pm24 your the same dpo as me , I’ll prob test this evening but then no more til next week my periods are crazy in lengths some short some long but dpo is what I’m counting .
im thinking of doing a clomid cycle if this month is a bfn
@HelloMoon87 how are you holding up ? Dpo and any more symptoms? I got a spot on my neck and thought yippee,,, new symptom!! Absolutely nothing to do with this muggy stuffy weather making me sweat 😅 IVE LOST THE PLOT

BlossomTree123 · 14/07/2023 07:58

Good morning!

BFN for me this morning! AF due 6 days.

pm24 · 14/07/2023 07:55

@HelloMoon87 thank you for asking. I'm feeling slightly down as tested both yesterday and today and BFN. I'm supposed to be 11/12 DPO. The only 'symptom' that has come back is sore boobs but that could also mean AF is approaching. I wasn't going to test anymore as I'm on holiday but I've taken 3 tests with me so I might as well use them up if AF doesn't show! How are you getting on?

@MrsP20202 congrats on your BFP!! X

Good luck to all those testing today, hope we get to see more BFPs! X

pinkandredflowers · 14/07/2023 07:21

Happy Friday ladies 🥰💕🤩

How is everyone this morning? Good luck to everyone testing today xxxx

missmae · 13/07/2023 23:27

@BlossomTree123 I hope so 🥹. Fingers crossed for you too!

@Tes004 i feel exactly like you. Can’t stop peeing on tests despite the fact I feel like I am out this month too. I think I’ve mentally exhausted myself and I just need a day of silence and not obsessing over this! I’ve also lost my appetite !

Tes004 · 13/07/2023 23:19

@Plumsugarlump welcome 🤗 I read lots on implantation bleeds and some just get a little spotting others a mini period like - I guess all you can do is see how it develops -
@BlossomTree123 I will be 12dpo tomo or 11 I don’t want to test because I think I will be so down if I see a bfn - but I will test because I have no control over me Poas obsession-

I feel like I may be out tho - despite the odd symptom of pregnancy which let’s face are pretty much same as af- I just don’t think I’m lucky enough this time - xx

BlossomTree123 · 13/07/2023 23:02

@missmae I feel the same everything is irritating me!!! Does sound like implantation though!!! Hopefully it is!!! I have everything crossed for you.

@Tes004 hope your having a wonderful time in Paris! All sounds like positive symptoms, how many DPO will you be when you get home and test?

@Plumsugarlump hello!! I’ve never experienced implantation bleeding with my first so unsure what it’s meant to look like! It could definitely be implantation this late though as you may just have ovulated later than normal! Hoping it’s a good sign for you!!

I felt very sick today and very irritable, so I’m hoping it’s signs and not the fact AF is a week away!

Plumsugarlump · 13/07/2023 22:47

Just hopping on after reading this over the last couple of days!

Currently 11DPO, had the worst heart burn just days after conception (unusual for me but blaming tww anxiety), achey boobs, some cramping and really tired.

My DP bought some early days clear blue digital tests today so I took one, and after wiping noticed bright red blood - as the test was developing! Could it be implantation bleeding this late? I put a pad on but had nothing since, I’m not due on until Monday and I’m never early..

Keeping my fingers crossed 🤞🏻

Tes004 · 13/07/2023 22:44

Having a little catch up on the new posts - huge congratulations to @MrsP20202 and @pinkandredflowers 😍
I’m still away with my son for his birthday so haven’t brought any tests with me - yesterday I felt rubbish and heart burn which I never ever suffer from - sat in a beautiful cafe in Paris today and ordered a glass of wine which made me wretch - so I am hoping these are all great signs - however also prob in my deluded brain atm - I ordered some frer tests which should be there when I get home but I don’t think I got the frer just the fr - which is annoying - but time will tell - either af or a bfp !
who’s testing tomo then ?? X

missmae · 13/07/2023 22:43

@BlossomTree123 yeah I’m feeling you I’ve just been in a terrible mood the last couple of days 😂 I was excited thinking maybe I was but now I’m like nah I don’t think so! I want to hold off but I just can’t stop peeing on sticks 🤦🏼‍♀️

i have been wondering if my back pain 2 days ago was anything to do with implantation, was awful all evening until the next day.. where I’d have been 8-9dpo. I’ve had a speck of blood today when wiping. I’m hoping these are signs of implantation but not getting my hopes up 😂
today’s symptoms have just been bad mood, sore throat/achey neck. Increased cm

BlossomTree123 · 13/07/2023 21:11

@longingtobe23 yes 100% go, until you know you should relax and enjoy!

@FatBeowulf yed that sounds good but hopefully you do not need and you get your positive!

longingtobe23 · 13/07/2023 20:46

BFN for me CD12 period in 2 days 😖

my friend is having a hot tub chill at her house tomorrow debating if I should go as clearly not pregnant 😅
… will test again tomorrow night before I jump in
