Currently TTC number 2 and struggling after getting pregnant fairly easily with number 1 (on cycle 3)!
Thought I'd start a thread so we can all support each other. Anyone else on their TTC journey for number 2? I am currently on cycle 7 and have ruled myself out already as negative pregnancy test at 10DPO. Each month I convince myself that I am pregnant! Experienced a chemical at cycle 3 😩

So no period. No more spotting.
Both the easy @ home and the clear.blue ultra early were definitely negative so who knows what's going on!!

(Both @hone<-- won't let me delete this 😅 )

@beansread I'm so confused because I don't really feel like I usually do before my period.
I feel SO nauseous and I've got reflux this afternoon.
No more spotting or sign of my period.
I don't understand 😅🤣

SAME. I've even pushed to eat a bit more than I usually do to fill up and be satisfied but the nausea is still lingering 🤢

So the plot thickens.... When I had a wee at about 10.45 on my way out the house I had a very small swipe of pink spotting when I wiped. So I popped a pad in and off I went out expecting my period to show up. I've been for a 2 hour walk and I've come home to nothing! No period and no more spotting.
So I'm hoping this is maybe implantation bleeding?? But if it is should I have not had a positive by now?

Ive asked the Mr to pickup a a clear blue early test on the way home (they're cheaper than the know impossible to find frer tests) .... Please tell me these are a decent test 😅😅😅
I'm only wondering if the pack of tests I'd got were faulty? Idk.

Ooooh do let us know, my fingers are crossed 🤞

@beansread oh I’m sorry that it hasn’t been clear cut, that’s so confusing and hard to have hopes up and down. Maybe just easiest to wait until af either arrives or you are definitely late.

@SkaterChick hi, I’m not sure what dpo you are but as I understand, implantation usually happens a couple of days before a bfp would show up as it’s only after then that the hcg hormone rises.
Implantation usually happens 6-10dpo so I don’t know if that fits for you?
I’ have unfortunately had a spot of bleeding and then taken another 8hrs for af to fully start so it could go either way I think

Yeah, the confusing part of it all is that last month, my periods were 3 weeks apart.

I've had to amend my Flo app because I ovulated on the 13th and now it's saying my period is due 28th (which is 3 weeks and 4 days). So I'm not even technically late but compared to my cycle prior to having my coil out, I am.

My flo app is now saying I can do a test tomorrow 🤷‍♀️

Still no period, still a BFN... not even a sniff of a faint line 😅
I have some cramps this morning, but nothing like my usual period cramps.
I'm nauseous and coffee if turning my stomach this morning which happened with my first so I'm hoping that's a positive sign!!

This is promising!!!

My tests today are negative but my boobs are worse and I feel SO nauseous.

Going to just have to ride it out now I think, I'm getting too caught up in testing and being either excited or disappointed 😂

Hi all, mind if I join? Had two MMC trying to conceive number 2 after a relatively easy time for number 1. Oh and PCOS to add into the mix…

LemonBitter · 25/07/2024 11:42

I guess all you can do is wait @SkaterChick but you're certainly not out ☺️

@NattyPeer if when I think I ovulated is right then not til 12 or 13 DPO.. that absolute squinter was at 10 or 11!

@SkaterChick I would test tomorrow for sure!!

@beansread it's still early to get positives not on FMU ❤️

SkaterChick · 24/07/2024 20:38

10dpo today.
I'll probs end up testing again again in the morning if no AF 🤣

beansread · 24/07/2024 20:14

SkaterChick · 24/07/2024 17:47

How's everyone's day been?

Still no period. I dont even feel like its imminent anymore but that much just be in my head 😂😂😂
Trying to decide whether to retest in the morning or wait till Friday....

I think you're a day behind me and at 10dpo right?

I am 11, faint positive this morning and barely anything at lunch time (don't know why I tested, I'm low key obsessed I think).

Maybe as you're late, you could give it a go if you're comfortable testing?

@NattyPeer I guess it might take a cycle or two to settle down.. really hoping for positive news for you soon. Chemicals are so cruel 😔

I'm all good thanks lovely, too early to do anything so literally just waiting around trying not to panic every time I go to the loo 🤦🏼‍♀️ Flo makes me 5 weeks and a day but I know I ovulated late so think I'm nearer 4.. seems a bit early to get excited 😬

I’m 9dpo today I think! What dpo did you get your positive?

I am glad you are ok, i know it is an anxious time but i feel good things in my bones for you and you so deserve it!

@LemonBitter 9dpo but I think my cycle is now messed up and think my period will come very soon! How are you doing hun?

SkaterChick · 24/07/2024 11:14

@LemonBitter she said she has loads so if AF shows up I'm going to see if she has any left 😅😂

LemonBitter · 24/07/2024 11:09

@SkaterChick that's amazing! Never thought to look on marketplace for tests!

SkaterChick · 24/07/2024 11:08

@LemonBitter I scored a bargain and got 10 for £4 off FB market yesterday 😅 I have 8 left hahaha

LemonBitter · 24/07/2024 11:06

Ahhh keeping everything crossed @SkaterChick - Friday sounds sensible. I have spent a ridiculous amount on tests - could you get some of the easy @ home ones from Amazon? They are way cheaper than boots / clear blue etc...
