Couldn't find one of these so starting the January bus.
Ttc #2
Miscarried 22nd October at 6/7 weeks and starting to try again this month, so cycle 1 as I had the mini pill for one month until I was ready
Cd 2

Join me for the inevitable tww madness 😂

Hi, can I join?

I'm 28, DH 32
We've just started TTC. Having been on the pill for about 12 years, I came off it at the beginning of Dec but have no idea about cycles yet! According to the app, if my cycle is 28 days I should be expecting AF in a few days. Fingers crossed!

Second day of pink spotting, I usually do get a bit of spotting a day or 2 before AF but this is earlier than usual 9DPO today 🤞🏼

@whatsthecraic91 it sounds really promising!! Pls keep us posted x

4dpo and I had slight abdo cramps all day and waves of mild nausea but I’m thinking xmas overeating to blame...

@MrsTwentySeven really trying to not get my hopes up but this is the first time I have had spotting this early 🤞🏼 I will keep you updated! Trying to hold out until New Year’s Day when AF is due 😓

Yep same here over eating and over drinking 😂

Can I hop on?! Fertile week next week! This will be 2nd cycle trying for number 2 ... First baby was a (very happy) accident so have never been through this whole TTC thing and it's making me a bit bonkers!
Fingers crossed for everyone!

Welcome @Ktn35

@whatsthecraic91 haha! I'm symptom free 5DPO and I'm beginning to lose hope already

Hi its my first month trying and thought I had ovulated 10 days ago but now not so sure, had loads of symptoms but now probs think there all in my head. I took a pregnancy test and ovulation tests cant really see anything on the pregnancy test but does this ovulation test look positive? I have irregular periods so would love to know if I'm ovulating so I can try. Sorry for all the questions I am a first timer

Just here to vent - at a family friend’s Christmas party and childhood friend is pregnant. Obviously as a rational person I’m thrilled for her, but as a person TTC I’ve run off to the toilet to escape the conversation

@Liam2018 I seem to be having ovulation pains about a week before I get a positive test, so maybe you’re similar? That test looks good to me!

Hi Note taker, positive you mean ovulation test? I hope so!! How long have you been trying for? Any tips would be helpful lol

@Liam2018 yes sorry, the opk.
This is our 4th month so not too long. Think I’m starting to get to grips with what my body’s doing now!

Hello everyone! Can I join?
29 years old, husband is 35.
TTC #2
Currently on Cycle 1 day 27 of a 26 day average cycle but had a BFN this morning and am feeling crampy so I think AF is on the way!
Still breastfeeding my 21 month old so hoping this won't impact my fertility too much! My cycles were much longer before and we were lucky to fall pregnant quickly first time round. Don't feel I will be so lucky this time!

Hi @soulmama18 ! You never know! Could just be early pregnancy cramps fingers crossed for you!

Got my BFP this morning at approx 10dpo! I’m not out of the woods because I’ve been here before hen I’ve found out early but fingers crossed for everyone as well!

@bathwater congratulations 🥳 I’m tempted to test in the morning as I have had pink spotting for 3 days, I’ll be 12DPO, was really trying to hold out but I don’t have any other symptoms or feel like AF is coming 🤞🏼

@Crumbsinthecarpet thank you! I did have cramping last time as an early symptom but it was a Clearblue digital early result test and I tested on the day AF was due so don't feel it could have been wrong! But I hold out hope!

Fingers crossed for others who are testing or waiting to test! I hope we get some BFPs soon!

@bathwater congratulations!!!

@whatsthecraic91 do it! I know I shouldn’t encourage but I’m excited for you

@bathwater congratulations!!! Now I'm tempted to test tomorrow!! Was that with a frer? What symptoms did you have??

@SoulMama18 hmm true, though I've used clearblue that have given a positive only like 2 days after it being in the bin 😂 I dismissed it as a bfn but nope!

@crumbsinthecarpet I have just been reading that they are not the most sensitive tests. I am clearly too easily taken in by advertising 🤦‍♀️ if AF doesn't show up I'm definitely going to try a FRER! I'm also thinking that because I'm still BFing I may have ovulated late and maybe it's still too soon?!?

@Bathwater congratulations!!!

Yay congratulations @Bathwater! SMEP did the job then!

I thought I had posted but it must not of worked!

Thank you everyone! Earliest I’ve ever got one. Ill probably test a few more times over the next week then phone to book in with midwife. Imagine it’s a busy time of year as I think September is the busiest baby month?

@SoulMama18 Me and blue dye tests never work so I tend to stick to FRER and pink dyes. No idea why they never work! Apparently the Superdrug ones are super sensitive but they’re blue dye so always had nada on them!

@Crumbsinthecarpet let us know if you do/ how you get on!

@notetaker yes it appears to have worked. Just hoping this one sticks!

@Bathwater done one this morning, bfn! Not surprised but wondering if I'm out this month, I've had the odd bit of nausea and lots of cm but those are my only symptoms!

@MrsTwentySeven BFN this morning, I’m 12DPO so I’m definitely out, still have a bit of spotting tho just waiting for AF now.

It’s always better to err on the side of caution but until AF arrives you never know. You see in the other boards people not getting anything until we’ll past their period is due

@whatsthecraic91 you might not be out yet! Don’t rule it out until AF is here...
