@butterfly1511 is there such a thing as being relaxed about it? 😂 sounds like you're in with a chance, don't count yourself out!

@hannah1201 first month trying for 2nd baby. My first child is 3 and it happened 2nd month trying.
I thought I'd be relaxed about it 2nd time around but I'm not 😂
Managed to dtd 5 days before and 1 day before ovulation so it will be lucky if it does happen 😂

@butterfly1511 how long have you been trying? I wouldn't read too much into it... you never know! There are lots of varying factors and everyone is different

I am 1 or 2dpo but I don't think it's happened this month. I read that your cervix should stay soft if you've conceived. Mine is getting firmer.

@spamOFtheDAY

That's good going! My partner works shifts but luckily it lined up well this time. We managed ov day and -1 & -2. Sorry to hear of your MMC, we had one the cycle before this too!

I've got some cheap tests so no doubt I won't be able to resist from 6dpo even though I know it'll be negative 😂 keep me updated with how you're feeling leading up to then!

Hey @spamOFtheDAY - glad to have someone by my side 😂 did you manage to dtd leading up to ovulation? Every time I've conceived before I have had a positive on 9 dpo. I will try and hold off until then but will probably cave at 8! When will you test?

Managed to DTD O day (I think...but it was probably a bit late) O-2 & O-3 - which is good going for us as I feel like timing is usually our downfall!

What about you?

I got my last BFP on 9DPO too (ended in MMC Jan) so will probably be testing then (though I've known myself to test from 6DPO 🙄) will try not to have many tests in to stop myself I think

Will you wait until 9?

@Ksh5460 sorry to hear of your ectopic - had you been trying for long before that? You're doing better than me for not testing yet 😂

This is my 2nd cycle, the 1st one I conceived but it didn't stick. I already have a little boy who is 4. Do you have any other children?

Hi, I'm 1DPO today 😣

TWW seems a long time but at least the hard bit is over! And now we can just have hope 🤞

When will you test?

Ksh5460 · 28/05/2024 11:09

I’m on the tail end of the TWW but definitely need help from going insane! 😂
I had an ectopic in April, but we decided to try straight away as didn’t have any intervention etc so got the all clear from my EPU nurse. Think I ovulated on the 15th this month (didn’t LH track), and am meant to be due this Thursday - have got some FRER but trying to hold off 🤦🏻‍♀️ have some symptoms of sore boobs and nausea which I don’t normally get during PMS, and was the symptoms I got with my BFP, but also not ruling out my mind conjuring the symptoms either 🤣

is this your first cycle TTC? X
