TTC Baby #3 Not our first rodeo 🤠

@Outside9ahhhh that’s very exciting 🥰 let us know how to morning test looks. Will you test for progression or just leave it?

Well, 13 DPO I think. Was difficult not to test today but I was committed to waiting another day or two.

Went to the gym, did a warm-up on the treadmill and once I was done I had to rush to the toilets to throw up. This is very naturally unusual, so I'm sure you know where this is going. Rushed home, tested and sure enough... a faint, but clear positive.

Stupidly stunned, surprised, thankful, anxious, etc. DH is even more stunned and pensive. We'll see how things go. I'll test again in the AM.

Hope everyone else is having a pleasant weekend (all things considered).

@mummatara oh I'm so sorry, its totally understandable to be disheartened!

Going to try and just wait until AF due to test, but we'll see how long i manage to hold out for!

AF arrived today 😢 even though I knew it was coming still feel super disheartened.

@MintRobin@OliveRose2 good luck for the TWW ladies got everything crossed for you 🤞🏼 will you test early or wait?

How’s everyone else doing?

@mummatara so sorry, that's so shit. Chemicals are horrible. I peaked yesterday so just going into TWW. Which I normally hate but am on holiday at the moment so hopefully it'll pass quickly. Though annoying that I can't drink!

@mummatara chemicals are so cruel. Sorry that there wasn't more luck this cycle. You're totally right in that when the sticky bean does come it usually like it was the right time for them. Fingers crossed for next one x

@MintRobin that's very true. Looking back, besides maybe tender nipples, my pregnancy symptoms are pretty much same as period ones. We shall see!

@mummatara yep, peak today! Now get to look forward to the dreaded 2ww 😅

@MintRobindid you peak yet?

@MintRobinthanks lovely. 20 year old me would never have guessed making a baby would be so bloody hard 🤦🏼‍♀️

Sending love @mummatara.It's so hard isn't it - so much stress involved in the whole process!!

Fingers crossed AF stays away @olivehush @Outside9! Like a bad trick that period and pregnancy symptoms can be so similar! I feel like i never noticed symptoms when i wasn't trying to get pregnant in the past - but now, it's hard not to analyse every sniffle and stitch!

Well I think this is a MC/chemical I did the Sainsbury’s test which has a level of 25 and it’s negative so my hcg level must be somewhere between 10 and 20 ish I reckon. Definitely not high enough for having positives all week. It’s gutting but at this point in our TTC journey it almost sounds bad to say I expect it. When a sticky little one comes along it will be at the right time just have to keep going through a tonne of hoops to get there

@olivehushoh I’m sorry 😢 really sucks. There is still a little time. I really don’t think I implanted until late this time.

@Outside9hopefully af is a no show Monday. I do think it’s hard when you’re so conscious of what your body is doing when TTC every little thing is like oooh is that something. I’m glad LO feels better

@OliveRose2where are you with testing I can’t remember? My tests still look a bit rubbish and this mornings def lighter but then it was lighter on Thursday morning too. I don’t think it helps my wee looked quite light this morning so prob dilute too. I actually went into Sainsbury’s and got their own brand £3.50 tests just to see what it looked like on those but not been home yet to do one. At this point as long as I don’t start bleeding I’ll ring EPU on Monday so they can book me in for an early scan anyway. Then I’ll know what’s happening. Ahhh it actually does help to hear that ❤️ it’s nice to know it doesn’t always end up bad news. I’ve had so much cramping this time every day really don’t know if that’s a good sign or not

@olivehush So sorry about BFN, it's so hard not to get your hopes up each month. Good luck for next cycle.

@mummatara hope you get some progression with your lines. I do remember with my son for the first week I was really worried as the line seemed to get fainter and then took ages to get properly dark, but it was OK in the end. Probably not helpful to hear that though as I know it doesn't help to get your hopes up.

11DPO. Admittedly it was tough not testing, but thankfully and unfortunately I've had my hands full. LO is now much better and recovering from HFMD.

I did have nausea yesterday and this morning, however I know that can happen right before your period, and I'm more conscious of my bodily sensations.

We DTD this afternoon, and there was an ever so slight odour that I usually get like 3days before period, so I'm more certain AF will show come Monday. Obviously not 100%.

Mixed emotions as we were conflicted. Every time we've tried in the past we've been fortunate for it to have happened first attempt, so feels like almost a sign to reflect some more.

Hope everyone has a great Friday and weekend 😊

@Outside9gosh I wish I had your willpower! Hope your LO is feeling better

@justkeepswimming2701hopefully something will come of it 🤞🏼 ahhh hopefully something will magically appear in the next couple of days. How do you feel any weird symptoms?

@MintRobinyaaaay grab hubby quick 😂 I agree it’s doesn’t take much for them to be in the mood 🙊

@MintRobin in my experience they always suddenly get “in the mood” 😉😂

Keeping fingers crossed for you all testing that you get good news soon!! @olivehush don't give up, hopefully test tomorrow is more positive

My LH tests are finally recording a high result! So peak on it's way - CD16 today. Now need to just catch my husband, his works been crazy this week and he's been knackered haha

@Outside9 wish I had your good willpower!

@olivehush I'm right with you with ‘loopy!’ I said I’d be calmer this month, but I tested at 8, 9 and 10dpo (today) and they’re all negative, yet I continue to stare at them hoping something will magically appear.

@mummatara sorry for the uncertainty! I’ve had two chemicals at the beginning of our TTC journey this time and it’s so disappointing. Fingers crossed those tests continue to develop and you get the answer you want 🤞

@MamaO88 I always find Clearblue lines can be a bit funny. They definitely look like a hopeful start!

~10DPO I think. Picked up tests from boots yday. Tempting but think I'll still hold until period is due. Weekend will be challenging to get through though.

Good luck with tests and line progressions all

@olivehush yes it’s very annoying! I just want like for like comparisons 😅

Sorry for BFN, when is AF due again? Sorry if you’ve already said!

@mummatara I’ve never really used clear blue non stop, these were an impulse Amazon buy when I was needing cheapie tests and just thought why not 😅yeah taken once it had dried for comparison, but the one I took immediately was much the same
