Ttc number 2!

Hello! Anyone thinking of ttc number 2? I have a 6 month old baby and don't want a big age gap between babies. AF has been a bit erratic over the past few months but DH and I have decided to make next month the first month of ttc. Anyone else sort of in the same boat?

How annoying!!! Angry Angry

Superdrug sell FRER?

loztredders · 18/08/2016 13:20

Nope superdrug is two towns over and unfortunately I live in a seaside holiday destination so don't fancy travelling through the traffic again. Bugger

MmmMalbec · 18/08/2016 13:40

Oh hang on. I think someone on another thread I'm on has just solved the issue of why your FRER was negative tuna. Apparently the ones at asda aren't the first response and aren't as sensitive! DD you use the 'one step' ones?!

MmmMalbec · 18/08/2016 13:41

I meant aren't the early response ones!!!!

wherethefuckisthefuckingtuna · 18/08/2016 13:57

They look like first response? But I did notice that one had a white foil wrapping and one had a blue (I think)... Very strange.

Perhaps I'll order some FRER's from amazon for tomorrow. Reassure myself a bit. I think it was the negative FRER's that's made me so edgy about the whole thing in the first place. Because if they are negative, you assume nothing will pick it up!

Shock Shock Shock ShockShock Shock

On closer inspection - you're absolutely right!!!

What a swindle!!!!!!

loztredders · 18/08/2016 14:03

Ok so did my crappy £1 test anyway......

BFP!!!

It's clearer than this mornings, still faint of course but then I'm only 9/10 dpo and this is a 25ml test.

Can't get a decent photo though which is annoying as it's quite clear in real life!

Oooh I'm glad I didn't find and first response now as I'm guessing they're the same sensitivity as these ones!!??

wherethefuckisthefuckingtuna · 18/08/2016 14:29

AMAZING!!!

Congratulations Loz!!!!!!

This is our 4th cycle TTC no. 2 including the MC 1st cycle we tried.
Stopped pill end of April.

4th pregnancy. 2 miscarriages. One child. Hoping for a sticky one!

DTD 3rd,5th,6th,7th and 8th 😀

loztredders · 18/08/2016 14:37

I do still feel mild period type cramps though :-/

wherethefuckisthefuckingtuna · 18/08/2016 14:37

I'm so very pleased for you, Loz! When will you tell DH?

Fingers crossed it is a sticky one

loztredders · 18/08/2016 14:42

Thank you :-)

Not sure yet. Weekend maybe!
It's a shame I can't wait and tell him on first day of holiday! That would be good... 2 weeks away though haha

MmmMalbec · 18/08/2016 14:46

Ah sooooo pleased for you!! How very exciting to have another BFP. Praying this is a lucky thread!!!

Yeah what a piss take. The packet is so alike I didn't even check properly. Apparently they're not even as sensitive at the 25m ones!!! So basically utterly pointless unless you're way after AF is due! Sorry ladies, I take full responsibility for that and sorry to have caused you stress tuna Blush

loztredders · 18/08/2016 14:48

Thanks Malbec.

Must be a lucky thread so fingers crossed for you in couple weeks!!

MmmMalbec · 18/08/2016 14:59

Thank you, I really hope so. We DTD cd18,19,20,21,22 and I ovulated on cd21 so it's definitely not going to be a case of bad timing if I don't get pregnant!!

Will you test again tomorrow then?

wherethefuckisthefuckingtuna · 18/08/2016 15:00

Malbec - not your fault at all!!! I didn't realise at all and I was the one who bought them! The sticks themselves even look exactly the same :( Unless you had pointed it out this afternoon, I would never have realised!

Seems to be a lucky thread so far!

How's the temp doing?

Sonnet18 · 18/08/2016 15:08

Oh I can see that one! Woo! Congratulations!

MrsY87 · 18/08/2016 15:10

Congratulations Loz!! So exciting for you!!

PurpleHaze1 · 18/08/2016 15:11

Yessss loz!! Congratulations!Grin

malbec that's reassuring what the GP said about B6 - although I was taking double what she is taking! I'm just going to take 100mg from today until Saturday then if no AF, I think I'll test on Sunday...

MmmMalbec · 18/08/2016 15:37

I would never have known either Tuna. I'm so glad she told me or if have been horrified when the time comes to test! I'll have to pick up some FRERs when I next see them.

Purple yeah maybe just take 100mg all month and see what happens first. Hopefully you won't need to take more than that anyway!

MmmMalbec · 18/08/2016 15:37

Oh and temp was still way above cover tuna, so if it is tomorrow then I'll confirm OV and stop temping!

loztredders · 18/08/2016 15:50

Might wait til Saturday to test again. Hopefully line will be nice and clear then!

That's good going Malbec on the DTD!!

MrsY87 · 18/08/2016 17:11

Omg omg I am actually shaking! I thought I was on CD11 but I just had this feeling I had to take a pregnancy test expecting it to be a BFN and it wasn't!! A BFP!!!!! It hasn't quite sunk in yet!

I thought my AF was light and have had on off spotting since but must have been a pretty heavy implantation bleed! I am so shocked!!

DH isn't home for at least another 2hrs!! Aargh!!

Ttc number 2!
wherethefuckisthefuckingtuna · 18/08/2016 17:17
