Anyone just started their dreaded 2WW ? 👀👋🏼

@EllieWalesoooh exciting not long to wait! Oh I do hope so, I’m going to do a test tomorrow at 9dpo 🤞🏼

@EllieWalesThank you! 🩷 yes absolutely such a relief. Awww amazing let me know how you get on 😊

Congratulations @Lh4503 that must be such a relief! So happy for you 🤍 I have a scan next week 🤞

Hoping to see some more BFPs in the coming weeks!

Took a few months off these threads after a chemical in June, but so happy to see some updates that people got their BFP!

Aw loveky, that would be a nice age gap for your little girl to have a sibling. Thank you, and good luck to you too and to everyone else hoping for one soon ❤️

@LoopyLeelaoh I never knew that about folic acid, I’m part way through a four month course. Oh that’s exciting then to be your first month where you feel a bit more confident. And your willpower is much better than me 😂 this second cycle for baby number 2, I’ve got a daughter who’s 2.5 ☺️. Fingers crossed we both get that BFP asap ☺️

Ooh nice to chat with someone with a similar cycle this month :)
We have technically been trying for 3 months now, however the past 2 before this were a bit of a write off, as I mistimed ovulation (which i only realised when my period came much later than usual) - this happened for a few months due to taking folic acid (it can cause this in some women) and then last month I was really ill with a virus for a couple.of weeks so we didn't get to try much, and having fevers probably meant i wasn't super fertile. So this is kind of the first month of trying properly and things going smoothly haha. What about.you? It would also be our first baby if we conceive too 🤞
I think i will probably wait until my period is late to test, I've managed to do so the past couple of months.

@LoopyLeelawe are very similar, mine is due in 8 days. I know what you mean, how many cycles are you in trying? I bought easy at home this time and just going to use them from Tuesday onwards, I won’t be able to wait much longer im hopeless 😂

About a week away from when my period is due now, slightly unpredictable as my cycles were randomly longer for a few months recently. Finding it hard to keep my mind off it, don't really want to test early as the early twsts are so expensive I don't really want to get in the habit in case it takes a long time to happen.

@Lh4503aww wonderful news!!! So happy for you 🥰🥰🥰🥰

Morning all @MegLSabsolutely tell them it's been a year, hopefully you'll get in soon and they will get lots of tests organised to put your mind at rest.

@bigbaggybluesorry your not feeling optimistic this month, but your not out until your out, cycles are unpredictable and ive learnt that no symptoms or changes each cycle confirm anything 🙈

Thanks for asking @MegLSI cried before, during and after my scan but all good, seen baby and a very strong heartbeat 💓 I just can't believe it, im so emotional abd feeling like it's a dream atm. Measuring at 8 weeks as expected. 🙂

@bigbaggyblue @EllieWales Thank you both, I haven’t managed to get an appointment booked yet - it’s a bit of a lottery with our local GP unfortunately! Going to keep trying and will definitely say it’s been a year so I can push for tests. I’ve always had relatively long periods at around a week with maybe a day or two of spotting before, but it seems only since we’ve been trying that it’s been starting so early (around 6dpo). So frustrating!

Keeping my fingers crossed for you @bigbaggyblue , hope you get some good news soon!

@Lh4503 how did it go yesterday?

Well I’m 7dpo and no symptoms of anything really although noticed when my daughter was breastfeeding at 6am I couldn’t hear her getting any milk which I think is normal for me before period comes (due in 8 days) so not feeling overly optimistic….

Thank you @EllieWales 😊 im so nervous!

Good luck for tomorrow @Lh4503 hope all goes well 🤞

Aww sorry @MegLS have you managed to get booked in with the doctor? It’s worth knowing either way and there are treatment options you can try if needed. I would exaggerate and say you’ve been TTC for 12 months so they don’t shrug you off! Have you always had spotting in between periods?

@MegLSweve got a 2 year old and this is cycle 2. Id certainly enquire about what tests they can offer, I always think it’s got to be better to do it sooner than waiting until 12 months 😊

@Lh4503 thank you, that’s really helpful! I’ll try to push for all of those.

@bigbaggyblue it is for our first baby, this was our sixth month of trying. How about you?

@MegLShow many cycles have you tried for? Is this for your first baby? :)

@MegLSThank you!

I'm sorry you've had that spotting again. I would absolutely go to the doctors they can run bloods, swabs and send you for a scan, they did for me and it was all fine but definitely put my mind at rest because i was convinced something was wrong.

@EllieWales & @Lh4503 so exciting for you both! Hope all carries on going well, let us know how the scans go!☺️

@bigbaggyblue sounds like you’ve timed things well, fingers crossed for you!

I’m currently 7dpo after ovulating really late - CD21 instead of my usual 16/17. We did SMEP again so I know we timed everything well, but unfortunately I once again started with very light pink/brown spotting yesterday evening and again today which I’ve experienced the last few months, so I’m 99% sure I’m out. At this point I’m getting a bit concerned that something’s not quite right so I’m going to try to get booked in with the doctor.

Aww so exciting @Lh4503 let us know how you get on on Saturday. So cute of your little one wanting to be a big sister, she’ll be a fab help when baby arrives 🫶

Keep us posted @bigbaggyblue 🤞

@Lh4503aww thank you! Hoping I can join the two of you in some pregnancy chats and not TTC chats! That sounds wonderful just before Christmas!!

Awww @bigbaggybluesending you lots of christmas baby dust! 🎄🌟 Hope the tww goes quick for you!

@EllieWaleshow exciting! My early scan is on Saturday 😊 I'll be 8 weeks Friday. Im absolutely terrified. Hope all is ok 🤞 I've then got my 12 week scan booked for the 22nd Dec just in time to have a good scan pic to tell all the family and my little one, who has asked santa to be a big sister for Xmas. So just hoping everything goes well 🙏 Hope your feeling ok!

@EllieWalesaww how exciting, really happy for you!!! Bet you can’t wait for that scan! I think so, would have liked to have tried Saturday too but wasn’t doable! I’ll keep you posted 😁🤞🏼
