Hi everyone, is anyone else 1dpo?! Let's survive the TWW together if so 😀 DD is almost 2 and this is cycle #2 trying for baby #2!

Ah really @Junip2, I’m trying not to worry it’s just so strange isn’t it! Ahhh that’s exciting to think about!

@CatLady93 ive had a little look and yes definitely a sharp pain however said it’s too early for that usually occurs in second trimester. It’s just freaking me out abit with it being in the exact same spot and just below the belly button. I guess time will tell and I am a worrier.

CatLady93 · 06/12/2024 18:53

@KT199 If you google round ligament pain does it seem to match that? I'd say just keep an eye if it's not too severe ❤️ I had so many little tightenings and pulling things during my first trimester!

@KT199 Does it go away if you change position? Any pain in your shoulder at all?

No shoulder pain and no it seems to come and go regardless of what I’m doing, I was wondering around Tesco when it started and I’m back home now and still on-going

Junip2 · 06/12/2024 18:50

Sorry @CatLady93 didn’t finish writing my sentence to you - meant to say what a lovely idea for your weekend. Putting the tree up is always exciting!

Junip2 · 06/12/2024 18:49

I’d also be happy to - what a lovely idea @CatLady93 . And what a lovely idea!

@KT199 our babies will be due the same time! I literally just had the same btw - a really sharp pain right where you described. And immediately I thought wtf. I think it’s normal though, I remember having all sorts of weird things like this with my first.

Ahhhh @Junip2 how exciting!! Congratulations 🙌

Oo yeah I’d happily keep in touch @CatLady93!

Got myself very worried, I’m having a sharp pain which lasts for a second or two on and off and been going on for the last hour which is just left and a tiny bit lower than my belly button! No idea what it is, but obviously Dr Google has said Ectopic so now I’m freaked out

CatLady93 · 06/12/2024 18:17

Ladies I've really enjoyed this little group, I feel like we're a lovely bunch!! If you wanted to stay in touch I'd be more than happy to setup a WhatsApp group maybe - but I understand of course wanting to keep things just to mumsnet/anonymous if that's what you'd rather. ❤️

@FlakyAquaQuoter Thank you so much! ❤️ Really appreciate you taking the time to support after the time you've had recently, thank you. I will give it a few more days as you say and try again with a test 😊

Thank you @Junip2 ❤️ We have a lovely weekend planned actually going out to pick a tree and decorating it etc! But more importantly holy moly - CONGRATULATIONS!!! Absolutely amazing news!! So so pleased for you!

@FlakyAquaQuoter sounds a lovely weekend, just what is needed I am sure! You’ve inspired me, I might also do some xmas crafts - it’s nice to get into the spirit of things isn’t it!

@CatLady93 totally agree with everything @FlakyAquaQuoter said! I think places like mumsnet will have you believe that so many people get early BFPs when in reality they don’t. I know with my first, I must have been around 14/15dpo before I even got a faint line. Have you got much planned for your weekend/ anything to take your mind off it?

@GirlWithTheYellowHat ah cool, so still more time and if AF hasn’t arrived then you’re still in with a chance!

@CatLady93 I did retest with a digital and to my surprise I got a BFP. Honestly shocked and feeling very very grateful. Don’t think I’ve processed it at all to be honest!

GirlWithTheYellowHat · 06/12/2024 16:37

At @Junip2 if my watch is to be believed, I think I'm maybe 12 days DPO. But everything's all over the place after the medical miscarriage. I may be less than this

FlakyAquaQuoter · 06/12/2024 14:11

@Junip2 - Those positives look great! I've been using the same strips and didn't even get an evap line 😅 they're known for not being the best in terms of darkness mind.
I think it'll be a case of staying safe and warm inside over the weekend. The weather looks a bit while and I can't think of much worse than being out in it. I'll be visiting tesco (again!) For some baking ingredients and imagine we will do a nice mixture of baking, movie nights, painting and Xmas crafts!

@CatLady93 - Sorry to hear of your BFN 😔 but, not only is 10dpo early, but you've also got to factor in the type of test. In years gone by, a FRER was the test you'd be looking for a BFP on first, but recently they were discontinued and then re-released. All my googling tells me the new ones actually aren't as sensitive. So while a 10dpo is possible, it's unlikely. And finally, while you've tracked your cycle etc so likely know when ovulation occurred, you know a rough time frame, around 24 hours, and if it had been at the end of that 24 hours you've got a few more days to wait. You've got this!!!

CatLady93 · 06/12/2024 12:51

Junip2 · 06/12/2024 12:28

@CatLady93 ahh I am so sorry about the BFN - did you do an early test? To reassure you, 10dpo is still so early, you might have only just implanted, so you’re still in it for this cycle! And you’ve had other symptoms too, so honestly I am still very positive for you!!
I totally know what you mean about trusting your body. I have a pretty bad relationship with mine too and never trust things will actually work. Easy to say, but try not to feel too down..your BFP could just be around the corner❤️

@GirlWithTheYellowHat sorry about the BFN :( how many dpo are you?

@Junip2 I did an easy@home and a clear blue early one.. never had much luck with the clear blue ones though tbh. Thank you for your reassurance ❤️ I'll give it a day or 2 and test if no AF I think. Have you done another test today? 🥰

CatLady93 · 06/12/2024 12:13

Hey gang, I tested this morning (oops). 10dpo and second morning urine, only held for 2 hours. WHY did I do it?! Obviously BFN. Not sure what to think. I know logically that it's probably a bit early, but I don't have a point of reference as I only tested at 15dpo with DD, and every pregnancy is different anyway! Really hard sometimes to not get bummed out as it took us 8-9 tries last time around and I'm plus size so sometimes struggle to trust my body (even though it's done it before). MEH!! Hopefully it's just too early but the more likely scenario is obviously that it hasn't worked this time 🫤

OP posts:
GirlWithTheYellowHat · 06/12/2024 11:48

Tested this morning and it was BFN. I could just be mega hormonal I guess. Will test again next Friday before my night out if no AF but I'm not hopeful.

Anyone else test this morning?

KT199 · 06/12/2024 08:15

Thank you ladies @Junip2 @CatLady93 definitely the kind of thing I needed to hear. I think my best tactic is gonna be the same as the TWW, keep myself busy and stop thinking 😂

I see something there @Junip2 🙈🤞 but I would always double check a cheapie!

CatLady93 · 06/12/2024 07:39

@Junip2 !!!! They look pretty positive to me.... 🙊

Junip2 · 06/12/2024 07:35

So I did a couple of cheapies this morning with FMU. These came up in the time limit,
but I am always stressing re indents as I’ve been stung in the past. What do you guys think? I might pop to the shops today and get an early detection🤔

Morning ladies!

@FlakyAquaQuoter glad you enjoyed your wine - a well deserved treat. Sounds like you’re feeling a bit more hopeful moving into another cycle once you’ve got the finances. Any nice plans for the weekend until Monday?

@CatLady93 I admire your patience and determination to wait!!! I on the other hand can’t even go one day without waiting. 0 self control over here.

@KT199 I would say totally normal like @CatLady93 said! With my first there progression was quite slow, and my little girl is now 2, so clearly no issues there!

CatLady93 · 06/12/2024 07:00

@KT199 hey lovely, absolutely fine for there to be no progression at those times! HCG doubles every 48 hours so it's really normal to not see a difference after 24 hours, especially if the test is done in the evening where your wee has been diluted all day ❤️ If you want reassurance then I'd do another one first thing in the morning in the next day or 2 🥰

OP posts:
KT199 · 06/12/2024 05:47

Awwww no way @FlakyAquaQuoter I’m so sorry your testing negative, have you done anymore tests?

As for me, I’m trying to live in the moment and be happy / excited but I’m really nervous in all honesty. I stupidly did another test last night and started to spiral a little as there was no progression from the day before. I took it at roughly the same time, the first day was on about a 6 hour hold (no idea how I managed it) and yesterday was 4 hours so just trying to tell myself it’s just that! I think for my own sanity I need to not test, but easier said than done when all you do is think the worst and look for reassurance 😟

FlakyAquaQuoter · 05/12/2024 22:20

CatLady93 · 05/12/2024 22:17

@FlakyAquaQuoter Aww I'm glad!! How are you feeling?

I'm doing alright. Remained strong (just) and not tested! 10dpo tomorrow, period due Monday. Getting a bit inpatient though I have to say 😂

I'm not too bad thank you, bit wobbly but awaiting the affectionately named "wtf" appointment to be booked in at the clinic after official test day on Monday. I think it's then that I'll learn of any differences in treatment plans and find out when I can go again. Financially I'll just have to make it work!

Well done for remaining strong! Can absolutely understand your impatience and I have everything crossed for you! What day do you plan to test?

I've burst into tears about 3 times and had to leave the room when DP was cooking mince earlier so I might test in the morning. Wish I could have wine 🤣

Good luck! I think I'd have rather had the BFP, but in it's absence, wine will do!
