I have a 2 year old and looking to start TTC later year. I made great friends on here last time when trying to conceive in 2020 so thought I would start a thread for anyone who is trying to conceive whilst looking after another child (in my case a toddler ekkk)

@Chocolatehobnobs2948 I see it! And, being so early you'd probably expect it to be super faint. Will you test tomorrow or wait a couple of days? Good luck for whenever you do test 🤞🏻🍀💞

Chocolatehobnobs2948 · 22/10/2023 19:18

@heybb Yeah Boots test, hard to say if it's got colour as it's so faint. I'll update again once I have a more definite result. Hope everyone else's month is going well and you get your BFPs 🤞

Glad I'm not imagining it! Could be an evap line though, right? I'm telling myself that it's that as don't want to get my hopes up only to be disappointed.

Certainly not imagining it 😊 If it's got colour, it's usually a promising sign.. I think I can see some pink to the second line so think it's looking good.
Also, is it a boots test? I haven't had or seen any particular issues with evaps from there.
Fingers crossed it gets stronger and viewable on another brand in a couple of days - no doubts then 😊
Keep us posted!

I can see a line too!

Hello ladies, back to the dreaded tww. I've cracked and done a test now even though period is 4 days away. I think I see a faint line, or am I imagining it?? Line eyes and fingers crossed please 🤞

Yes I 100% see a line!!!!!

6 DPO and no symptoms to speak of. I've felt implantation before each time I've been pregnant, so I'm fairly confident it hasn't happened yet. I know it's still early and there's a chance implantation could still happen, but I'm struggling to be hopeful. Plus one of the mums in my antenatal group announced her pregnancy yesterday. I'm happy for her, but it does sting a bit as the news was unexpected and I'm sure she fell pregnant very quickly.

deliwoman1 · 20/10/2023 14:06

@Swirls346 glad to hear you're bearing up. I remember the emotional and physical exhaustion of that experience too well so my heart goes out to you. I will keep my fingers crossed for you next month. xx

@RedRobyn2021 That's good news. Good luck to you!

RedRobyn2021 · 19/10/2023 20:32

AF has finally arrived, I'm actually really relieved as this at least means my body is back to normal after the chemical. Hoping so much after we can get pregnant again this cycle 🤞

Swirls346 · 17/10/2023 14:22

deliwoman1 · 17/10/2023 11:16

@Swirls346 I’m so sorry. 🫂Are you doing okay? Like you said it is very positive you can conceive naturally. That’s something to hold on to at the moment.

@Bubblesandtroubles congratulations! A lovely strong line ❤️

I'm okay thank you. Feeling pretty wiped out and the bleeding is really heavy. Seems to have got heavier and I'm day 5 now of bleeding, usually my period would've pretty much finished by now. X

RedRobyn2021 · 17/10/2023 13:51

@Bubblesandtroubles wow congratulations!! You must be over the moon ❤️

I am still waiting, i ovulated on the 9th if my Premom app is to be believed but I'm really not sure when to expect AF or to take a test.

Tbh I would be happy about either at this point, at least if I have a period I know my body is back to norma after the chemical.

Siiiiigh babies are just everywhere and pregnancy announcements. I just want it to be me again.

deliwoman1 · 17/10/2023 11:19

I’m 3dpo today. Ovulated two days earlier than usual and only managed to DTD twice during my entire fertile window. 😕 I’m also incredibly stressed atm and my sleep has been poor. Yet another month of nothing I predict! 😭

Cressie2 · 16/10/2023 22:29

Thank you @Bubblesandtroubles - I better crack on with it this week then 😂

Bubblesandtroubles · 16/10/2023 21:43

@Cressie2 loads! I gave up on the ovulation tests as they haven't helped last 5 or so months and so we just covered a wideish window and DTD as much as possible.
(Possibly slightly TMI but we threw in a few DIY style IUI using a syringe from the pre seed as well so that we doubled up some days! 🙈)
Basically threw everything at it this month!! Xx

Cressie2 · 16/10/2023 21:33

Huge congratulations @Bubblesandtroubles ⭐️⭐️⭐️ Oit of interest, how often did you DTD this month? Really happy for you!

Bubblesandtroubles · 16/10/2023 20:54

Thanks! I think I just produce strong lines. My husband was half convinced our toddler was twins as it was such a strong line even before a missed period. But she was just on her own in there! Xx

Wyewaving · 16/10/2023 20:42

Wow, that’s a strong line @Bubblesandtroubles! Congratulations!

mumsince2021 · 16/10/2023 20:33

Your line looks solid @Bubblesandtroubles I wouldn't be worrying if I was you. I was quite unlucky and had 2 chemicals across 16 months TTC my son but the third time we didn't do anything different and it was successful so I know it's possible. I haven't been tracking ovulation I'm on cycle day 25 just now which is the usual average cycle length for me. Last pregnancy I was tracking with temps so I could pin point ovulation exactly and back then it was early at cycle day 10. The line was quite light but I'm hoping it's because its a wondfo cheap strip test. I haven't got any FRERs like I used before.

Bubblesandtroubles · 16/10/2023 20:18

Thank you @mumsince2021 I hope your line goes from strength to strength 🤞🏻 how many DPO do you think you are?
I think it's been either 5 or 6 cycles for us (I've lost count). Fell really quickly with our first so this has been quite a challenge dealing with the disappointment.
Trying not to get too far ahead of ourselves as obviously a long journey to go. But, for tonight, just very grateful for those cluster of cells chilling out in there and very much enjoying the feeling of hope for what's to come. Xx

mumsince2021 · 16/10/2023 20:16

@Bumblebeemee did you get stronger tests as time passed? Just noticed you've not posted again

mumsince2021 · 16/10/2023 20:09

Congratulations @Bubblesandtroubles! Sorry I don't get to post here much as my toddler keeps me busy but I am still trying. I had a faint line yesterday but not sure if it's a chemical since it's so faint. Time will tell! It's been 5 cycles for me so far

Bubblesandtroubles · 16/10/2023 19:56

I caved...

Bubblesandtroubles · 15/10/2023 21:03

I may well cave yet! But I've just found it really upsetting seeing the stark white last few months so trying to save myself the double disappointment of negative text and AF.
I've also got weird almost sandpaper like complexion on my forehead which I seem to remember from first time around- but might be wishful thinking?!
Aargh, I think I'm getting my hopes up... 😬xx
