I thought I felt period pain yesterday while driving and was getting emotional about it! Our first month after stopping pill ttc baby no2. I definitely need to be more positive as its only the first cycle but as we all know its hard not to feel hopeful!
Anyway no show of bleeding. I am 8dpo, so period would be early but I as I haven't had a period since coming off its hard to 100% tell so am aware things could be a bit awol ans it could just show up! Anyway - Tracked days from break through bleed. Ovulated 25th/26th Ewcm lines up perfectly with time line of my usual 28/29 cycles.
Anyway felt like ive smelt calpol for the last two days which is odd aha! Accompanied with funny taste in mouth. I think I am going mad waiting to test!! As I said only 8dpo ... so probably a bit early!!

Pretty confident Im out, I've had some pretty strong but usual cramping overnight. I won't bother testing since my period is pretty much definitely going to arrive today. On to next month!

I’m going to join you all. I have a 2 year old little girl and was our first cycle last month TTC for baby number 2 but I can tell my periods going to come tomorrow, had BFN yesterday at 13dpo. I’ll start doing LH tests around the 12th/13th, just ordered some easy @ home to try. Would mean everything to get a BFP before Christmas so two cycles left 🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼

PessimysticMeg · 02/11/2025 18:00

Congratulations to those with positives already!

Halfway through my 2 week wait and not hugely hopeful as it’s only the first cycle properly trying and seems improbable to get a positive first time although I think we did what we needed to! I’ll be waiting for my period to test unless I get any crazy symptoms in the next week. Fingers crossed everyone.

Hi everyone! Joining this thread.

We are on cycle 2 of ttc no 2.

We have a three-year-old DS. We lost two babies (miscarriage) before having him. I got diagnosed with PCOS a few months back. Periods are a bit unpredictable since having my son. Can be 3 1/2 weeks or seven week cycles.

Cycle 1 I really let get to my head, early tested, over thought everything. This cycle I’ve told myself no tracking and no pressure on dtd every 2 days. My DH has been away since the day of ovulation going off of my usual ovulation symptoms. Try my hardest to not expect it to happen quickly and it happens when it happens. Not feeling too hopeful this month.

I believe I’m 6 or 7 dpo x

6 days PO but I forgot to test after a few days its possible my ovulation peak is off and I ovulated a day or two after my app says I did. I'll probably test next sunday

Fingers crossed for you! I think I'll be testing Friday or Saturday. Really should just wait for my period but you know what it's like.

I posted this on the October thread but I guess no one is there anymore as nobody has responded! I'm a mix of joy and anxiety, as this is my 3rd positive test since trying for a 2nd child. 2 miscarriages and a chemical pregnancy have forever taken away the excitement for me! This was a bit of a surprise, as we weren't going to 'try' until next cycle. And we DTD just once 3 days before peak!

Congratulations :) Fingers crossed all goes ok.

Littlegreenpebbles · 02/11/2025 14:19

Congratulations Curiousrobin Wishing you a straightforward and healthy pregnancy ❤️

amazing news, congrats!x

I'm trying not to get my hopes up but i'm having a lot of similar symptoms I had with my first. Really vivid scary dreams, brain fog and bloated. I think the bloating is the curry I had the over day though

When would you test this month/how many dpo are you?

Hope you don't mind my jumping in ladies but I feel like I need a few more sets of eyes 😂 10dpo, not FMU but am I tripping?! Is that a line or am i imagining it 🤦🏻‍♀️😂

I am looking at this from my laptop so the image is large and I can see a very very faint line! How did you get on with this mornings test?

Littlegreenpebbles · 01/11/2025 22:51

Let us know how you get on! With a FMU and another day on I hope its a BFP for you.

I have a pink dye test arriving tomorrow but I'll hold off testing until Monday. I've been feeling seedy on and off this week and "niggly" but I'm pretty convinced that at best this is another CP. Something just feels off.

cabbageflower · 01/11/2025 14:55

Littlegreenpebbles · 01/11/2025 14:14

cabbageflower I can see it too! Hope it gets darker for you on your next one

Hopefully, I'm hoping it will be even better with FMU tomorrow 🤞🏻

cabbageflower · 01/11/2025 14:54

Orangeroses243 · 01/11/2025 14:01

@cabbageflower definitely see a faint line! Keeping fingers 🤞! Keep us posted x

Can't believe it! I'm so glad other people can see it 😂 I will update in the morning! X
