Congratulations @Cornishmaid92😍

Congrats @Cornishmaid92 😊

@LaurLou22 any update? Have you tested again?
I had convinced myself it hadn’t worked this cycle but tested this morning (11/12dpo) and got my BFP! Had a vfl on wondfo so I used a FRER and it’s clearly positive. I can’t believe it :) praying this one sticks and that you’ll get yours too.
Also sending baby dust to all of you still early in the TWW. Xx

I’m not sure when to test. I will try to hold out but I’m meant to be going out Saturday evening, so might test that morning.

my Christmas party is at a hotel that we’ve booked out the whole place. I might excuse myself to my room early if we do conceive this time. This is cycle 4 for us

Yep, 2dpo! I have a million tests so I’ll be testing from Saturday.

i had the same concern about work do as work is v turbulent atm so was actually planning on having a single glass of wine and some good control pants. Luckily they’ve booked ours super early and on a date I’m busy so I’m free and clear whatever happens. Just any department lunch to get through but might have the single glass of wine if I feel worried about someone guessing.

@Anya23so glad I’m not alone in this horrible patience game.
keeping fingers crossed for you!!

@Andrasasounds like you’re in the same boat - 2dpo today?

anyone else worried that if they are pregnant how on earth keep it a secret at Christmas work party? 🤣

@bellaflowerI'm four dpo so right with you! Planning to test this Friday, as we're going on a date with hubby without dd

Currently on 3dpo and hating the tww already. Anyone else in similar situ?

Nope haha I've tried every combination of any tricks/supplements you can think of! So I'm back to basics (which is actually what's worked for me to get pregnant) - folic acid, vitamin D and vitamin B12, ovulation testing and starting dtd from the first "high" reading on the clearblue ovulation tests.

@Moosey898oh wow that's a long time! Fingers crossed for you 🤞 are you planning on doing any differently next cycle?

Thank you. Sooo it's a long journey for me - 9 years since I first started trying (did have a 3 year gap in the middle), 4 missed miscarriages and then losing Ava start of September.

@Moosey898sorry for your loss. I'm CD 2 today so similar to you, I'm going into my 5th cycle now TTC for my 1st baby. How about you?

1dpo and I’m already over the tww. 😂

making the most of having sushi and wine this weekend in case anything shows next weekend.

I decided to test this morning 🙄 I cannot help myself honestly 😑. I think I might see the faintest of lines at 9DPO but I could equally just be kidding myself 🤷🏻‍♀️ time will tell!

@Moosey898i’m so sorry to hear that, they must have been such a horrible thing to experience, I hope you’re doing okay and have my fingers crossed for you moving forward xx

Think I'm at a slightly different point to others but if anyone else is at the start of their cycle give me a shout (I'm CD2 trying again first time since we lost our little girl at 22 weeks pregnant start of September).

I had what I thought was terrible period cramps, one evening while at the cinema. It was SO bad!
I was just waiting for my period to start after that for a couple of days, then when it didn't, I tested and it was positive. So, I think that was implantation, but I'll never really know. It was much more like period pain than like digestion/upset stomach cramp for me though.

I saw a useful thing that said if you’re pregnant enough to have symptoms, you’re pregnant enough to test positive. It helped me to stop over analysing everything - I just tested first thing from about 7dpo because I have no patience, then got on with my day without worrying as I knew my sore boobs or back ache was in my head/pms as not enough hormone to turn the test = not enough hormone to cause anything.

@Anya23 ah thank you this is helpful! Well there’s defo something going on in there and if it’s not pregnancy then my digestive tract is in some sorts trouble 😂

@LaurLou22I had a dull lower back ache and weird twinges in my lower abdomen around 11 dpo, the next day I had a positive test (I tested a few days before that and then it was still negative, so I'm pretty sure I felt implantation)

Can anyone share their implantation symptoms if pregnant before and had them? I’m 8DPO today and from 6DPO I’ve had intermittent cramping, both aching and sharp in my lower abdomen and pelvic area, I’ve also had pain further up which feel just like trapped wind! I feel completely bloated and gassy, had reflux, the lot! I never got implantation symptoms with my first so wondered if this might be some?

I get annoyed 😅not that we've been trying for so long but two of my friends have gotten pregnant lately, who didn't even want to get pregnant, just forgot to use protection and I'm like...

Does anyone else get so shocked when friends/family get pregnant? I honestly can’t believe people just dtd and get pregnant after ttc for almost 2 years it seems like a myth

True, although I just think it’s a bad idea emotionally after a chemical last month, it feels like I’ll be putting myself through a lot of unnecessary stress when I could just wait for definitive answer!
