TTC #2

@SkaterChick welcome! How many cycles have you been ttc?

@beansread haha maybe a littleeee too early! It’s so hard not to though. Good luck for this cycle

@HRHXO I’m afraid I’m struggling to see anything in those pics but I’ve also had a faint line today (husband agreed) which couldn’t be photographed so I know how much the camera can dampen the image.

Only thing to do is join the tomorrow morning poas gang! Fingers crossed for you

I think I've lost the plot.

I'm 3 DPO and trying not to symptom spot (I've just been telling myself that I'm moaning to make myself feel better)... HOWEVER

the breath taking cramping that feels like early onset labour pain, the heavy and really painful boobs and weirdly, I keep getting hot flushes are making sneaky little thoughts pop into my head... what if?

Please can someone tell me it's farrrr to early to have pregnancy symptoms! 😬

That was meant to say POAS addict andddd of course MumsNet ruins the quality a little 🥴 I'm probably delulu 😂

Ladies I've fully lost the plot, I'm 8dpo, stupidly tested this morning with fmu and it was completely negative so binned it. Randomly just decided to try again this evening and I've got this... it's probably just an evap, right?! Thoughts? (I know it's too early but I'm a positive addict 😩)

Hi everyone. I'm approx 2/3 dpo and trying not to symptom spot 😂😂😂

@NattyPeer ahhh ok - the waiting just drags doesn't it... I will update tomorrow either way 😬 x

@NattyPeer got everything crossed haha, let's see tomorrow 😬

Really hope someone has chucked a load of baby dust over this thread and the positives stick and everyone else gets one! How many DPO are you now?x

I see a line ☺️ I would say give it a couple of days and do a digital bit I couldn't wait 😂 do you have cheapies to do another for now for reassurance? Maybe tomorrow morning? Then you can do a digital in a few days. 🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼 for you but I definitely see something xx

@LemonBitter what better way to start the day 😂I feel like I’m going mad when I look at the test but I also got quite a dark OPK too for this time of the cycle so hoping that’s a good sign

(accidentally quoted myself when I tried to write that comment before & not sure how to delete)

@Mummio92 what better way to start the day 😂I feel like I’m going mad when I look at the test but I also got quite a dark OPK too for this time of the cycle so hoping that’s a good sign

Eeeeeeeeeek @Mummio92 !!! Keeping everything crossed for you!! Looks like we will both be up early weeing on sticks 😂

@LemonBitter with all the BFPs being posted I got swept up and did a test, I’m only 9dpo but I think there’s a hint of a line 😱it’s too faint to post a pic so I’ll have to wait until tomorrow but it really does look like there could be something… don’t want to get carried away though

@Mummio92 yeah I'm thinking that could be what happened? Trying to not get my hopes up but still no sign of AF either!

@HRHXO it's still very early!!! You're not out til AF arrives.. that's what I'm finding very true at the moment xx

@LemonBitter that definitely looks like a line!! And as you never got a peak OPK, that suggests you ovulated later than expected which would fully explain a faint line at this stage.
Fingers crossed for you and will be eagerly awaiting tomorrow’s test.

Hi ladies, 8dpo today, no symptoms but tested this am and it was a BFN not surprisingly but I'm still a bit gutted about it. It's still early, AF not due until next Monday anyway!

So nice seeing more and more BFPs in this thread though! Trying to stay positive that I'll be joining you all soon ✨️

@Sevillegarden that's so good 😊 really happy for you and hoping it goes the same way for me.. it's taking everything to not do another test today but I know there won't be much difference so just need to wait... luckily work is busy so is a bit of a distraction!

I was honestly so surprised when it came up positive. It's all sinking in now. I'm privileged in that I can allow myself to feel optimistic as I have no reason not to, so I'm going to try to manage any creeping anxious thoughts that way.

I hope it's positive news for you tomorrow and you're not too consumed with it all today, although I appreciate it's almost impossible not to be.

It's so difficult isn't it. How are you feeling now? I bet seeing it in black and white (grey) on the digital was such a relief!!

Good idea on the digital, I can't get one today so will test again tomorrow morning with the same type as today then go and get a digital after depending what it looks like!

I really do see it and it seems to have a pink tinge which I've always found hard to capture on a photo. I found it so hard to manage my expectations and to allow myself to feel hopeful (and sometimes even to trust my own eyes!) - so when you say you don't want to get your hopes up, I hear you.

Can you get hold of a digital? I was nervous because my first positive test was so faint but i ovulated later in my cycle and everything is a bit altered since having my first - perhaps this is going on for you, too. Having the digital confirmation was good and my lines got darker when I tested this morning.

@Sevillegarden do you?! Argh I don't know I don't want to get my hopes up as I feel like it should be much darker... unless I ovulated late I guess 🤷🏼‍♀️

Thanks @NattyPeer @Mummio92 and @LemonBitter for the congratulations too 🩷
