Hello there,

Currently on cycle #5, trying to conveive baby number two (many years after first), and realising ttc is one of the most frustrating tasks I have embarked on.

I had a chemical pregnancy in january which has completely taken all joy out of trying because even if that BFP appears, I do not think I could bring myself to be excited about it.

That being said, there is only one way this is going to happen so on I go with the 'ahem' BD and peeing on ovulation sticks and then pregnacy tests at any given moment.

AF due 15 April, let the obsessing begin..

Oh, and is anybody else actually sick of doing the deed yet (sorry husband)?

@mommato3 yes I hate it, I just want to know yes or no and get on with it! I've had a really sore back the last couple of days which was my first sign with my son, but on the other hand I've been carting round my laptop, work papers and my two year old all week so it could just be a sore back 😂

mommato3 · 05/04/2019 14:25

@peasando Lol. Well it's not over til af shows. Fingers crossed x

thosethreewords · 05/04/2019 20:36

Hurry up TWW... only another 11 days til test day (lol joke - definitely will fest sooner than that!)

peasando · 05/04/2019 20:38

Lol @thosethreewords - I'm 5dpo and been testing already! 🙈

Comps83 · 05/04/2019 20:40

According to my FLO app I’m due 17th. Had positive OPKs wed and thurs.
if AF doesn’t arrive I will test on the 18th. Which is also payday Grin

mommato3 · 05/04/2019 21:02

I doubt I'll test until at least 16th. I'd have to be certain af isn't coming first. Don't want to waste sticks for a BFN. Good luck everyone x

RLI1105 · 05/04/2019 23:11

Well I am already enjoying symptom spotting 4dpo 😆🙃
Sorry if this is TMI but for the last couple of days I have had loads of creamy CM. This is the first cycle I've noticed this. To be fair though I've only been off the pill since December so it may just be my body sorting itself out. It's terrible how you overthink everything though!

littlerose13 · 05/04/2019 23:20

It's so hard to not spot these symptoms ahhh! 😂 Have been burping A LOT and of course that means I find myself googling if this is a symptom too! Who knows 😭 x

peasando · 06/04/2019 07:04

So I went into my stash of ICs this morning (6dpo) and tested...and I think there's something there. It's very faint and I know it's too early so it's probably an evap...cue lots of googling of pics of evap lines...

I would post a picture but tbh I can't even see anything on the photo I took, just in the flesh 🤷‍♀️

peasando · 06/04/2019 07:45

I'm probably overthinking it and its DEFINITELY an evap. Idiot.

And so the 2ww begins. 15th April count down.
thosethreewords · 06/04/2019 07:50

@peasando maybe I sort of see something? Hard to say! Retest in 2 days!!

peasando · 06/04/2019 07:52

@thosethreewords don't worry, I will! and tomorrow too

MotherOfShihTzus · 06/04/2019 12:29

@peasando I see it! Inverted it too;

MotherOfShihTzus · 06/04/2019 12:30

How long after poas was the pic taken?

And so the 2ww begins. 15th April count down.
peasando · 06/04/2019 13:14

@MotherOfShihTzus less than 5 minutes. But I know I'm being ridiculous and it's too early to test.

GreatestShowUnicorn · 06/04/2019 13:50

Can I join ttc number 2. Dd1 is almost 8. 😱 has donor insemination this morning. 2ww ends 22/4 if I can hold out that long. I tried back in August and started test 7dpo very strong symptoms same as with DD but symptoms stopped at 14dpo and period showed up 2 days later.

Okready · 06/04/2019 13:57

@RLI1105 I have the same, much more creamy cm (sorry) compared to previous cycles. I googled it and it basically says AF is coming or you're pregnant, so no help at all really. I'm 5 or 6dpo but no other symptoms. Fuller boobs, but that always happens this time in my cycle. I keep prodding them hoping they will hurt. Hmmm, the wait continues.

RLI1105 · 06/04/2019 14:04

@Okready I've been prodding my boobs too! 😂😂 I know it's way too early but there we go! I'm starting 3 night shifts tonight which will be a good distraction. By Tuesday morning (when I finish) I'll be 8dpo so then I feel like I can symptom spot with a bit more confidence!

thosethreewords · 06/04/2019 19:27

@Okready me too, I've had loads of CM since ovulation (currently 5DPO) and I'm usually dry 😂 FX for us!

RLI1105 · 07/04/2019 22:21

How's everyone doing? I'll be 7dpo tomorrow so my symptom spotting will increase! 🙈

Mamabear12 · 07/04/2019 22:25

I’m 7 days post ovulation. Felt occasional back pain. But also wonder if I’m imagining it. It was a symptom for my first dc. Today I’m imagining fuller breasts.

Okready · 08/04/2019 07:21

I'm also 7dpo today. Resisted the urge to test this morning. Still no real symptoms. Bought a bunch of cheapie tests that should arrive today, so I can start testing soon. I know it won't give me the answer I want any sooner, but at least I feel like I'm doing something. Hate this waiting game. Hope everyone has a good week with happy news at the end of it!

peasando · 08/04/2019 07:55

I'm 8dpo today. Had what I thought hoped was a squinter a couple of days ago but it was definitely an evap as I've had clear BFNs ever since. Still feel like I've got loads of symptoms but I do this to myself every month...just want to get to the weekend now, at least then I'll know one way or the other for sure.

RLI1105 · 08/04/2019 09:35

I'm 7dpo today too! There's an clan of us! My breasts are quite tender today and I was having shooting pains in them last night. TMI but I've also been super bloated and gassy! I normally don't pay much attention to PMS symptoms so I don't know if this is normal.
I took a test yesterday (just a cheapie and not extra sensitive) which was negative. Even though I knew it was going to be negative I was surprised how shit it made me feel. I'm going to hang fire until 10dpo and use a FR then.

TrulyMiss · 08/04/2019 11:28

Hi ladies, I’m 5DPO so I might as well get in on the fun. Going on holidays on Saturday so hoping that will distract me! First month ttc and had an earlier positive opk/lh surge so we were a bit exhausted the second time around 😂 Fingers crossed!
