I’m 3dpo, 4th month of trying for no2. im sat here with cramping and needing to wee more frequently than usual.
with my first I had symptoms from 2DPO and got a BFP at 9dpo.

anyone else in the long wait and want to join?

Hi all,

Looking for some advice. Had a vvfl yesterday at 11DPO. I'm not sure what I was expecting this morning, but I was expecting darker. I only see it's slightly darker on the tests. What do you think?

Hi there, I feel you! I had a vfl yesterday at 10dpo and this morning again! Just to compare colours, I tested LH too and yes, I see a vvvfl but this is the first time in my life testing pregnancy (2nd month TTC)

I don't know what to think, but defo I will keep testing until I see a negative or AF shows up 😁

6dpo I think or could be 7.

i definitely feel different to how I felt last month, I kind of feel like I did when I had a chemical so we’ll see.
with my first my boobs hurt from about 3dpo but they where tiny 🤣 they’re not so small now and fed my little one for 15 months so I’m thinking they might not hurt this time around.

im having dull central cramps, tingly nipples, tired, sicky feeling and weeing lots more oh and yesterday I cried over stupid things

@Dullblue1234
Yes definitely rather than freaking myself out! Ooo fingers crossed for you!! Sending baby dust!!

I'm definitely going to stop testing shortly! Just wanted the reassurance I wasn't making it up yesterday 🤣

Show quote history

😂😂 hcg doubles every 2 days I think... so if you get the urge again, do it in a couple of days. I reckon you'd see good line progression then!

I'm 7dpo I think 🤔 have lots of encouraging symptoms, and something feels different this cycle 🤞 I didn't get a positive till after my missed period with my first.... So not sure when I'll test! X

@CadoAvo thanks for the reassurance! I panicked myself this morning!

Yep I see it!! Give it another couple of days and test again, the colour looks good for 11/12dpo 😊

mumzy67 · 22/08/2024 06:41

I caved and tested this morning and sadly very clearly negative! Guessing I'm out now and this is just my body gearing up for my period to show up on Sunday. I never know how things will work out cuz it took us 18 months for my first, 2 months for my second who sadly passed and now this would be month three of trying for our next. Crazy bodies!

I’m 10DPO, couldn’t wait and tested, but negative. Always tell myself that means it’s probably a no, but still hold out hope until AF. Had no idea there would be so much waiting, thought I’d just “know” straight away😅

Me. 7 months of trying. 5mg Letrozole this cycle. USS on CD 11 showed far more follicles than I’ve had before, but only one dominant so dr gave us the go ahead to try as usual as I have low AMH and my DP has male factor too. Chances of us conceiving at all slim, never mind conceiving loads of babies 🤣

I think I’m 9dpo, had some RT sided pelvic stitch type discomfort on a dog walk yesterday, boobs are full and firm and my nipples want everyone to know about them. I daren’t let myself hope though.

I also have PMDD and my luteal phase hasn’t been anywhere as bad this month, but I’ve really made the effort with supplements, sleep and CBD.

@Lollystar15 👋 oh wow really, that’d be quite nice. I think I was about 5dpo last time and knew instantly so it felt like a loooong pregnancy haha.
when will you test? Or are you good at waiting?

@Dullblue1234 thanks.
bodies are strange aren’t they. How olds your little one?
yes fingers crossed for us all

@ljb23 I can see the line and I’m usually rubbish with vfl, congratulations! How you feeling?

Ohhh I bet it did! I'll probably test Sunday (9dpo) or Monday (10dpo) even though I know I should wait 🙈 I reach a point where I'd rather just know for that day and then focus on other things until the next morning.

Fingers crossed for everyone!

Currently 9DPO, been cramping mildly since 1DPO, definitely more sore on 7DPO, it’s my first time TTC so not sure if it’s all in my head… no spotting but have developed thrush??

No sore boobs, just lots of cramping and tired? Going to test on Sunday, when I’ll be 13DPO

I've just got past the 2WW & breasts bigger, tender, tingly nipples & have been having mild period cramps on/off for 3 days, usually just a few hours & it happens. We've been trying to do this for 2 years (child number 3) but I don't dare take the test incase I'm just telling myself these symptoms because I want them & I'm not

Dullblue1234 · 21/08/2024 09:40

@Samthenanny he's 4 now.... Didn't really want this big of a gap, but that's life ey?

Ahh @ljb23 I see it! 🥳🥳 I'm only around 6dpo, so holding out x

Thank you!! I'm glad it's not my mind playing tricks on me!

I'm on the 2WW. I ruled myself out yesterday and took a just incase test this morning at 11DPO. I'm hoping it's a positive as I can see a vvfl

I see it!

CadoAvo · 21/08/2024 09:36

Hello all, I'm currently 3dpo today 🤞🏼
Been trying for baby number 1 with 2 early miscarriages along the way so hoping for 3rd time lucky.

mumzy67 · 21/08/2024 09:33

Hi all,

I'm also on the wait - due on on Sunday so going to try and hold out until then for any testing, it's so difficult though not overthinking every little thing and comparing to previous pregnancies.
Good luck to everyone Smile
