TTC number two... still breastfeeding. I temped with Baby 1 but this time going on ewcm and rise in libido! Cycles are pretty regular but slightly long at 32-35 days but they've always been like that. Periods returned when my greedy EBF baby was only 4 months and have been like clockwork. Baby is now 18 months old.

Anyone wishing to join and just about starting the 2 week wait are welcome!

@dizzy85 hahaha so true, but so nice to talk to people in the same boat as it really is such a hard time! And also, you don't necessarily want to tell friends or family that you're trying do you. Ooh could be ib bleed then if just spotting, do you normally get spotting? I don't get any symptoms of af until she's here, just maybe grumpy week before which I've definitely been!

Elly88 · 12/01/2020 18:27

@dizzy85 oh and I probs will test every morning, much to my disappointment 🙄 wbu?

Sho2207 · 12/01/2020 18:42

I’m out for this tww, af turned up earlier Sad hopefully next month is lucky. Good luck ladies x

dizzy85 · 12/01/2020 18:56

@Elly88 it definitely is good to have people to talk to I'd go mad otherwise or drive my OH mad with it. We've not told anyone either coz it's too much pressure isn't it. I do have pre af spotting usually but I did the month I got pregnant too so it confuses me. I'm gonna test every day now too until one or the other🤦‍♀️I've only got cheap tests left though so I don't mind wasting them.

dizzy85 · 12/01/2020 18:57

@Sho2207 aw I'm really sorry to hear that hope your ok and hope next month is your month xx

Sho2207 · 12/01/2020 19:03

Thank you @dizzy85 I’m excited to hear everyone’s stories though so I won’t be too quiet Smile x

Elly88 · 12/01/2020 19:30

Sorry @Sho2207 so disappointing isn't it :( hope next time is your month.
@dizzy85 keep me updated with your testing! I've used all my strips but have 3 frers, an asda cheapie and CB digi left 😂

dizzy85 · 12/01/2020 19:42

@Sho2207 I hope we get some bfps on here soon 🤞🏻
@Elly88 I will do although I'm sure I'm gonna be out now just had another bit of spotting when wiped and it's heavier so I'm thinking it's the start of af 😭😭😭😭😭

Sho2207 · 12/01/2020 19:48

@Elly88 so disappointing, thank you! Bring on ovulation 😂
@dizzy85 so do I 🤞🏼 I never imagined this would be such a challenging thing in life

dizzy85 · 12/01/2020 19:55

@Sho2207 I know! All the years you spend trying to prevent it when your young when in fact it's not that easy to get pregnant at all. How long have you been trying for? Is it your first?

Sho2207 · 12/01/2020 20:29

@dizzy85 makes me so jealous when people are lucky enough to have it first time. Me and my partner started actively trying this month, last month was more of a casual month without checking dates or anything. I’ve been desperately wanting to have my own family for ages, it’s just unfortunate that the best things in life take time.
How about you?

dizzy85 · 12/01/2020 20:37

@Sho2207 I know what you mean I know so many people who have got pregnant so quick it's hard not to be jealous. We have been trying for a while now, the year before last we tried casually for about 4 months and then last year after 6 months I got pregnant but then I lost the baby at 3 months and then had a few months off and now this is the 3rd month since then. Feels like forever. That's all I want too a nice little family of my own. We will get there eventually that's what I keep telling myself. I'm like 99.9% my periods gonna be here when I wake up. Are you taking any vitamins or anything?

Sho2207 · 12/01/2020 20:59

@dizzy85 you’ve been on a bit of a rollercoaster then haven’t you 😔 sorry to hear! Yeah I keep saying ‘there’s always next month’. I’ve got my fingers crossed for you!
Yes I’m taking the conception pregnacare to make sure my body has all the vitamins and minerals, how about you?

dizzy85 · 13/01/2020 09:42

@Sho2207 thanks, it has been a long rollercoaster of emotions but we will all definitely get there. I'm only taking folic at the moment I did take the pregnacare last time so if it's not happening this month I'll definitely try them again.

dizzy85 · 13/01/2020 09:45

@Elly88 how are you today? Another bfn for me this morning. I was convinced I was gonna wake up to af today but didn't and I keep feeling like I've come on but check and nothing, I have quite strong cramp on my right side today just wanna know what's going on in there!

Elly88 · 13/01/2020 10:04

@dizzy85 same. Still can see shadow line but it would be darker by now so 99% sure I'm out this month. Sorry to hear you've had such a hard time of it. Fingers crossed we get our bfps soon

Elly88 · 13/01/2020 10:04

@dizzy85 are you due on today?

hay2882 · 13/01/2020 10:08

I'm on day 7 of a tww after a IVF 3DT.

I'm absolutely anxious as this is my 3rd go. 2nd go we got Pregnant but at 5 months we had to say good bye to our girl as she had Turner syndrome.

No symptoms and freaking out a bit!

X

dizzy85 · 13/01/2020 10:26

@Elly88 I hope the line does get darker was it on a frer? Thankyou, it will all be worth it when we have our babies ☺️ hopefully that is soon. I'm due on Thursday but because my spotting seemed heavier last night I was sure it'd be here today. I only have 1 more strip test left now, I got through them quick 😆

dizzy85 · 13/01/2020 10:30

@hay2882 hi, I'm really sorry to read what you've been through how heartbreaking. Wishing you lots of luck in your tww, halfway through so not too long left now but it is such an anxious and stressful time all the waiting, I hope you get your bfp🤞🏻x

hay2882 · 13/01/2020 10:32

@dizzy85 thank you. Life is cruel.
I'll get there with lots of tv distractions and sewing! So glad I found this app. X

dizzy85 · 13/01/2020 11:25

@hay2882 it certainly can be. That's it keep yourself busy if you can easier said than done though coz I think it's constantly on our mind anyway 😆 but hope it goes quick for you. These forums are brilliant they've helped me get through many twws I dunno what I'd do without them, probably drive the OH mad with all my symptom spotting 😂

Elly88 · 13/01/2020 11:36

@dizzy85 yes it was a frer. Fingers crossed af stays away for you! Think I've accepted now I'm not pregnant this month so not gonna test again, just wait for af and try to do the same next month. Good luck to all!

dizzy85 · 13/01/2020 13:36

@Elly88 your not out until she shows am hoping for you she doesn't too, keep me updated x

charlesthekudu · 13/01/2020 16:40

It's OP I've name changed... I'm on cycle day 25 and only just got a positive OPK. I'm so happy! My entire thread was very premature!
