Hey everyone! After 4 years we've decided to try for baby no 2! But it feels like such a long time ago now, I can hardly remember the ttc processBlush anyway, finished my lmp a couple of days ago and started ovulation testing! Wondering if anyone's in the same boat this month? Hoping for an April '15 baba!:)

@Kiwiburgh you could start a side business there 🤣🤣

Kiwiburgh · 22/07/2024 19:47

There still sold here in NZ, probably the most popular brand.

Are FRERs not a thing anymore? I can only seem to find on Amazon and they're more expensive that I remember 😅
I only have internet cheapies in at the mo. I want to get some tests tomorrow ready for 10/11dpo but no idea which tests are decent these days

I haven’t been able to get them in Ireland at all 🤷‍♀️

Period is 21 days late due to PCOS. I've taken a test and not pregnant, plus dates of DTD don't really match up for pregnancy.

Any tips or vitamins or literally anything anyone can recommend to start their period.

Came off the pill in April and not even been able to start TTC as I haven't had one period yet (minus withdraw bleed) 😭

omghavingababy · 21/07/2024 22:21

Well done on everyone's BFP!!

I'm 8DPO tomorrow and determined not to test til 10DPO....fingers crossed and fingers crossed for everyone else too
I feel like this is a lucky thread

🤞🏼

PunchyLunchy · 21/07/2024 16:15

Congratulations @justloveandlightx thats lovely news 😄

Unfortunately my “implantation bleeding” just went on and on then became a period. Onwards to the next cycle!

Nic2908 · 20/07/2024 22:26

@InvisibleDragon massive congratulations. What a lucky little thread.

InvisibleDragon · 20/07/2024 20:58

Little update from me - period due yesterday. Didn't feel like it was imminent so I did a test - and it was positive!

Feeling excited but also wary. I remember this weird limbo phase with my DS too.

Thank you to everyone in this thread for being kind and supportive in the last few weeks - I was feeling really down about my weird periods and general out of sync-ness of my body.

Good luck to everyone who is still waiting this month and next and congratulations to @justloveandlightx

AlleycatMarie · 20/07/2024 10:44

@justloveandlightx huge congratulations!!!!

SkaterChick · 20/07/2024 09:34

I think I'm out for the month. I'm CD22, 6DPO and last night I had cramps, this morning I did a small puke in the shower (just my coffee thankfully 😅)
At CD22 this lines up perfectly with me getting HG symptoms approx 4/ 5 days before my period :(
My last few cycles have been around 26 days.

moosey89 · 20/07/2024 09:24

@Zo85 last pregnancy for me was a completely blank negative at 9dpo, faint line at 10dpo. It's absolutely fine to not get a positive test until 12+dpo so you're not out yet!
Ovulation was delayed for me this month (is today!) so I am just about to start the 2ww, thankfully have heaps on to keep me distracted 😂

Zo85 · 20/07/2024 09:22

Kiwiburgh · 20/07/2024 02:07

@Zo85 don't give up yet 9dpo is super early considering its the most common implantation day. I give myself until 12dpo until declaring myself out. 🤞

I hope you’re right Kiwi and thanks for your message but I feel pretty normal symptom wise (I just knew I was pregnant with my first) and I had early implantation/v early BFPs with my first. I wonder if it’s similar (implantation time) for one person’s pregnancies or if it can be wildly different? But I know this is just me grasping onto hope here, as I’m sure many of you ladies can relate to.

Zo85 · 20/07/2024 09:18

Retesting not reseeding 😂

Zo85 · 20/07/2024 09:17

justloveandlightx · 20/07/2024 08:03

Thank you so much! I was 9dpo when I got my first faint positive! Slightly concerned I may be having twins, my period still isn't due until Monday!

Show quote history

Huge congrats! Ah don’t worry about twins! With my first I had a line with still over a week to go until my period was even due let alone missed - and I only have a 28 day cycle so it was v early after ovulation that I got a BFP. It was an agonising wait of constantly reseeding to confirm I wasn’t dreaming. Enjoy this time.

PlantEnthusiast · 20/07/2024 08:23

@Kiwiburgh I'm good thanks, keeping busy! My NC app confirmed my ovulation this morning on CD20 so I’m 3dpo. Got a lovely weekend of plans so should keep me distracted! My LO sleeps pretty well now and usually wakes around 6 but it was 5 this morning! I’m knackered so DH took one for the team. How are you doing?

Kiwiburgh · 20/07/2024 08:17

Huge congratulations @justloveandlightx ❤️

@PlantEnthusiast how are you going? haa yeah it could be a small age gap. Would be really difficult initially but hopefully worth it. Took us 7 months to get pregnant with #2 though.
Oh my, my toddler Is an early riser too, anytime between 5am and 6am 😅 I'm also wanting to wait until af but I doubt I can.

Hey all, long time no post sorry!! I had a very anxious wait but I knew I had symptoms. Got my bfp a few days ago and a super strong line today! Not posting a pic, I know there's a lot of people on here who have had AF visit, chemicals / miscarriages and I know it's very disheartening, lots of love to you all xx

Zo85 · 20/07/2024 00:09

I caved in today and tested 9DPO despite being determined not to do this. BFN of course so I’ll be heading across to the TTC in August thread. Here we go again ladies…..

PlantEnthusiast · 17/07/2024 06:12

@Kiwiburgh how are you doing? Looks like my temp is starting to rise this morning so I’m hopeful everything is as it should be. I had a chemical last month so wasn’t sure how this cycle would be!

@omghavingababy sorry to hear about your loss. Everything crossed that this is your month 🤞🏼

@Amber17 my peak usually comes on very fast so chances are you did ovulate when expected. Have you been tracking long?

Third cycle of OPKs but I’ve kept an eye on ewcm for a few months before that - I’ve got a 19 month old that still breastfeeds and pretty short cycles so wasn’t sure what was happening. I’m refusing to buy more OPKs until AF turns up in the hope I don’t need them!

rebecca199 · 19/07/2024 11:33

It's so much harder to commit to DTD often with a 14 month old 😂😂 hoping we have done enough this month... not sure we have!

TTC July 24!
rebecca199 · 19/07/2024 11:31

Hey all would love to join!
We are TTC number 2, on cycle 3 and I am 3dpo!
