TTC #2 (September BFPs)

[LopeyLopez]

A new thread (following on from our July and August ones!) for all those trying for number 2 and hoping for a September BFP. Welcome aboard!

Yep I think people would expect me to know a lot of this with already being a mum but I don't!

Dolly it sends me mad too. DP frequently tells me this 😂

I'm also a mum and I don't know any of it!!!

I'm hoping to hold out and not test alex! Too many bfns can't cope with another. I have a grand total of two tests in the house. A Waitrose cheapie I didn't know I had til clearing out bathroom ready to move house and one FRER. Going to hold out if I can. 8dpo today...

Stay strong @motherofboy ! I've currently got zero but have two frers arriving from Amazon today. Only two days until Friday, I can do it!!!

How soon can you take the first response tests? Can you buy them from boots etc?

LadyPug there are FRER ones from Boots, that are just called first response in a bright pink pack. They aren't cheap but can be used as soon as 6 days before Af is due.

You can get internet cheapies (IC) that claim to be the same but I'm not sure how good they are. Probably good if you're a serial tester.

Thanks mynameisjune I will look these up!

Hi all, jumping on from August (and july) bus. Ttc #2, dd is nearly 3. This is our 5th month trying. I'm on cd 8 so started clearblue test today. Also using ic opks because using clearblue last month wasn't entirely reliable. Can't temp as I'm on hols and dd is sharing the bed with me so I'm barely getting 1 hours straight sleep let alone 4!! We get home sat which will be cd11 and time to dtd!!

Fingers crossed!!

9dpo today I have one test left don't know whether to just do it tomorrow or wait until Friday. I will have to buy more but didn't want to do that until Monday really to stop me testing on the weekend and in case AF arrives.

I'm feeling really crampy though how are you feeling mother? We're about the same xx

I feel crampy! But I'm only 2 dpi! I'm my head, right?

I didn't last until Friday!

Okey Alexs is that a positive?!

It is indeed @ladypug !

Aah- the first BFP!! Congratulations @AlexsMum89

Congrats AlexsMum. Really pleased for you. Baby dust to all still waiting.

Ladies really not sure what to make of my late period. 5 days late and bfn. It's so frustrating as I am in Limbo!

Ahhh well done!!!! What a great start to the thread! We have a winner! :-) congrats!

Congrats on the bfp Alexsmum!

Sorry you're in limbo Nubian, could you have ovulated later than you thought?
I feel in limbo too. Thought I'd ovulated on my usual day 17 and my temp rose as usual the next day only to fall back to pre-ov temps for the next two days. No wonder I didn't get a peak reading on opks :( This has never happened to me before. The most annoying thing is I'm away on my own Saturday-Wednesday so if I ovulate then it'll go to waste. I'm getting so fed up of this now. I've got my doctors appointment in the morning so maybe I'll feel better after that.

Maybe I did ovulate late Kashy. Just don't know anymore!! I feel so frustrated.

Hope all goes well at doctors x

Yessssss! Congrats alex! Did you have any symptoms? That is so positive

karpuz I don't feel any different... tho normally by now my boobs are super aching but no sign of any achey boobs yet... not holding out hope tho as have been pretty stressed. Haven't felt like testing yet which is good. Normally by now I am itching!

Congrats Alex on the first bfp of the thread!

Ooh 'winner' I'm taking that! Hahaha
I'm 11dpo and for 4 nights I've had terrible insomnia which is so unusual. I think the last time I've not been able to sleep like that was the night before I went into labour with my son! And hunger, I'm so so hungry. Can't stop eating, such a piggie.
I've got the usual sore boobs and have had pains in my lower abdomen which I was telling myself were in my head!

So excited for you! Eeeeek! :-)

Thanks Nubian. Sorry you're feeling so frustrated. I'm really struggling at the moment, think it's because I'm coming up to a year of trying. Why is this so difficult 😒

Ooooooh congrats alex how exciting!!

Know how you are feeling nubian I'm currently two days late and tested three days ago with bfn. Although I have had a few streaks of pink on wiping for two days now so wish AF will hurry up and make up its mind! Having been pregnant before you think I would stop symptom spotting but my irrational mind keeps playing up pink streaks obviously sign of imminent AF but I don't normally get this before AF ahhhhh why do I torture myself so

Congratulations alex great news! That's so weird about the insomnia as last night I couldn't sleep although I thought it was because it was so hot it probably was but I'll go with your theory but I can always sleep so that's interesting! I look and feel huge but I had that last month too. Think I'm gonna test tomorrow morning!

How annoying Nubian with AF you just want it to arrive so you can crack on again! Sending big hugs to those that are in limbo!

Anyone else testing this weekend? X
