As the title says, I’m 2DPO on 12th January and TTC baby no.2. Feeling chilled at the moment as it’s 1st cycle and it took 4 months last time. Going to try and hold out from testing early!

That's fabulous @pamplemousse19 so pleased for you.

Next cycle means a Halloween due date for me, which as you say @Babydust82 is sooner than I expected. This is good though because I'm avoiding for when we'd end up with a December/Xmas birthday. So if this next cycle works then I can dress the bump as a pumpkin. If it doesn't it's a month or two break and concentrate on getting me and dh healthier before we try again.

Congratulations @pamplemousse19 lovely strong line there now!
wont be long for us with short cycles to try again ☺️ we will be in the TWW before we know it

@pamplemousse19 - congratulations!! Come on little bean stay stuck!! ✨

AF still hasn't arrived 😂 I got some cheap tests when I went shopping so I'll do one tomorrow morning just to see 😂 I really thought it was coming yesterday morning as my ovaries were crampy but nope 🤷🏻‍♀️

pamplemousse19 · 24/01/2025 18:36

Thanks everyone! I did a FRER this evening and there is definitely a line on this one! Can't believe it! 🥺 Hopefully it sticks! 🙏🏻

Good luck to everyone else testing in the next few days - wishing you lots of baby dust ✨ for now or next cycle!

Morning all! A little update from me... AF still hasn't showed up so I did a cheapie test this morning and got a v v faint line! 😮 It's a bit more pink than this photo in real life but still quite faint. Can anyone else see it?! I think I'm either 12 or 13 dpo

Congrats @pamplemousse19!!

Haven't tested the last couple days but had some brown spotting today and the heaviness of a period so think AF is due tomorrow. On schedule for a 24 days cycle like my MC one (and aligns with the days I had EWCM) so think I tracked O correctly. We didn't BD enough sadly so will rectify this next time.

@Esssa in some ways it's good as means we can start the new cycle sooner! I used to be 28/29 day cycle but now 24 after MC too.

Esssa · 24/01/2025 09:23

I'm definitely out. AF here this morning and a 24 day cycle when it's usually 29! Possibly explains the funk I was in yesterday too. I got the extractor fan hood cleaned though so... And it was well overdue.
Tentative congratulations @pamplemousse19 tTose easyathome tests leave shockers of indents/evaps. I truly hope this is your bfp. I'd get something else to confirm with though.

MakeMeJuno · 24/01/2025 09:16

congrats @pamplemousse19 I see it!

Tests still BFN for me. Waiting for AF to show up - feeling low at the thought of going through all this again... I need to find a way not to let each month drag.

@Aandk64 the cheapies never got dark for me the last time even when I had a 2-3 weeks on CB. HCG concentration changes at different times of day in the early stages, so strip tests aren't intended to track progress. Just whether you're pregnant or not. If your CB digital is showing you're pregnant, you're pregnant.

Thank you - It's so hard and I'm so anxious due to two previous miscarriages.. I take another CB in a few days and hopefully it will say 2-3 as i'm 3+5 weeks today

Morning, I'm starting to panic again, this is my line progression 😪 what do you think? Anyone had experience of slow progression before? I also did a digital last night and got 1-2 weeks and I'm 13 DPO. (The bottom 2 strip tests are from this morning) x

@pamplemousse19 - see that's the problem with PMS!! With my little boy it was so obvious I was pregnant, my boobs hurt, they looked like road maps, I was so hot at night and had insomnia.

That's why I'm sure I'm not pregnant now! My cramps have gone now!

Oh I get that when you're at home the temptation is real!

Esssa · 23/01/2025 11:01

Still bfn at 11dpo 😔pretty sure I'd be able to see something by now. AF due Saturday so should know this weekend. I usually have a 29 day cycle and this is on course to be 25 days for no discernable reason. So maybe there wasn't enough/any time between my period and my fertile window. Who knows. Edit to remove stray emojis.

pamplemousse19 · 23/01/2025 10:14

@LouLou0505 No symptoms no, although I didn't really have any when I was pregnant with my first. I am quite hungry at the moment. But that is probably just PMS! 🤷🏼‍♀️ I'm WFH today and it's a real struggle resisting the urge to test 😅

Hope that you and the others on here in limbo land get an answer soon! The waiting and uncertainty is horrible isn't it!

IDontDrinkTea · 23/01/2025 10:06

CD30 / 13dpo here. Another BFN so I really think I’m out this month. I wish AF would hurry up now so I can just move on to next month

LouLou0505 · 23/01/2025 08:59

@Babydust82 - thank you!

@pamplemousse19 - since I've been busy this morning I keep feeling more crampy in my ovaries though so fingers crossed it comes later or tomorrow!

Do you have any symptoms at all?

pamplemousse19 · 23/01/2025 08:48

@LouLou0505 oh that is sooo confusing. You must really wish you knew what was happening one way or another! You're not out yet though! 🤞🏻

Despite feeling quite crampy yesterday morning there is no sign of AF yet, which is a bit unusual for me as usually it starts quite soon after the first cramps. Trying to resist testing today and will test tomorrow morning if she hasn't showed up yet!

Babydust82 · 23/01/2025 08:44

@LouLou0505 completely understand how you feel, but no news is still good news for now. Sending you all the positivity.
any news from anyone else?

LouLou0505 · 23/01/2025 07:09

Just done another test which is very much negative but still no signs of AF. It feels like such a mind game! The only time I've ever been late was when I was pregnant with my son so god knows what's going on!

Just wish it would come so I know when I can start planning next cycle 🙃

LouLou0505 · 22/01/2025 19:31

@MakeMeJuno - so off aren't they! I've never had that with tests before!

I've got a first response one which I hear is better to use a red dye one sooo..

I guess I should test tomorrow but I hate the low feeling I get after I see a negative 😔

The only good side is I work from home and tomorrow I'll be working while my little boy is at nursery so I can be sad by myself haha!

MakeMeJuno · 22/01/2025 19:29

ah @LouLou0505 those lines do look a bit 'off' ! It's so hard isn't it - I would say maybe if tomorrow AF still isn't here I would try a different brand but equally I am POAS addict already lol only a few months in to TTC no1

LouLou0505 · 22/01/2025 19:27

These were my tests

MakeMeJuno · 22/01/2025 19:21

have you tested already recently @LouLou0505 ? really hope it's something for you!!

I tested Sunday and Monday first pee of the day and was negative both times but after an hour on both tests I got strange blue lines so they don't count 🤷🏻‍♀️

I wouldn't care if it wasn't for the fact I'm normally like clockwork with the most obvious symptoms before my period

LouLou0505 · 22/01/2025 19:05

No show today and I'm normally dead on the day or sometimes a day before I'm due on. It's soo weird! I keep getting twinges kind of like aches in my groin which I don't think I normally get but I feel like I'm going crazy.

I'm certain I'm not going to get a positive but my husband thinks I should do a test tomorrow morning 🤷🏻‍♀️
