TWW has begun! Anyone else gonna test Friday 13th?

[ItsAlwaysSunnyInPhiladelphia]

Unlucky for some but hopefully not for us!
TTC #1 since January 2019
Think I missed my peak OPK despite testing 3 times a day. Was strong Friday/Saturday so think I ovulated either of those days on yesterday.
I never make it the full 2 weeks so aiming for week Friday! Anyone else?

Feeling the pressure too with age. We also just moved to a bigger house and I keep freaking out that we won't have anymore children and we will have a big empty house. I'm most disappointed for my son because I would love to give him a sibling close in age.

Think AF just arrived. Finding it all very disappointing, I was naive to think no. 2 would be first cycle like no. 1. Just wish we had started trying earlier.

Awww I got my BFP this morning!!

2nd month of trying following our mc in November at 8 weeks.

Praying our rainbow 🌈 sticks xx

@misssparkles81 congratulations that’s brilliant news!

I cracked this morning and did a test and got a bfn- I was kind of expecting it but there was still a bit of hope there. One more cycle of trying then I’m going to go to the drs

[Pink15]

@MissSparkles81 congratulations!!!

@Carol1980 have you watched "You" on Netflix? I'd recommend and I think the second series gets better than the first!

[MissSparkles81]

@Muda Aw lovely im so sorry xx

[Carol1980]

@MissSparkles81
Massive congrats that's fab news x

[Carol1980]

Right so I cracked and did a frer !
Negative so pretty positive I'm out 🤷‍♀️

Given that I'm due on the 15th I would have expected to get a faint positive if I was preggers x

On to the next cycle !!

@caty86
Yeah we have a 4 bedroom house ! Hubby has a man cave in one and the other is just a spare room for visitors......if it turns out we are not successful in trying for no2 I'm making it in to a woman cave !!!

[Carol1980]

@caty86 - also like you I thought we would be quite lucky with ttc no2 given that we had no major issues cooking up no1 x

[Lottieloux]

@MissSparkles81 congratulations!!!
Caved and got another bfn this morning so I think I’m definitely out this month.
@Carol1980 we can huddle up together and hopefully get our bfp next month I think our cycles are pretty similar

[Carol1980]

@Lottieloux for sure !!

I'm a 25 day cycle, due on the 15th and with all the grumpy ness and twinges etc I suspect that I will get AF as planned either tomorrow or the day after.

Massive congrats to the ladies with their positive results x if it's your first baby, enjoy every single second of it !! If you are planning on Breast Feeding, I would totally recommend it ! Night feeds are a breeze without having to get out your bed to make a bottle up 🤣🤣

If it's your second...god help you 🤣🤣 the one thing I'm not looking forward to is running after a 2 year old with a new born 🤣🤣

Carol1980

Good idea on the woman cave!! Dressing room would be good. 😊

I'm def out now. Some wine tonight and onto the next cycle.

[Carol1980]

Right I'm confused !
I'm usually a 25 day cycle, looked at Ovia and it's got me down as period predicted on the 15th. Thing is today is cd25 for me so really I should have had my period today ?
Don't for a second thing I'm pregnant, all tests have came back as negative so not thinking that at all but wondering why the app is predicting that I won't have my period until Sunday ?
I've double checked my settings and I've def put myself down for a 25 day cycle. Anyway maybe I'm not back to my super regular cycle ? Who bloody knows !!
I know that I will get my period in the next day or so but how weird is this !!

[Carol1980]

Right so.....need some advice ladies.....
I got a peak Ov test on the 2nd March and we dtd....when should I have put in my calendar that I have ovulated ? Should i have put it on the 3rd ? If so then I've got another 2 days before I should test ?
Or if I'm getting negative just now which would make me 10dpo today, that I should count myself out ?
Like I said in my last post my period isn't here at all, that's not to say it won't trap later tonight ( I'm working night shift anyway) or tomorrow morning but you never know x

[Lottieloux]

I’m officially out😞

[Juno231]

@Carol1980 yes your ovulation day would be the 3rd but no you're not out at 10dpo. Implantation can occur as late as 12 DPO and it takes another day or two for even the strongest tests to pick up the hcg increase that early on. Plenty of people only test positive as late as 15-16 DPO.

[Carol1980]

@Lottieloux sorry to hear lovely x

@Juno231 excellent ! Still no sign of AF 🤞

[caty86]

Fingers crossed carol1980

Sorry to hear Lottieloux. I was also out this month. Feeling very deflated and can't stop thinking of the distance in age between first and second. Xo

[Carol1980]

@caty86 how big an age gap is there ?

Still no sign of AF and still negative tests too 🤷‍♀️

[caty86]

Carol1980 my son is 26 months now. We waited because we were saving for a house and really wish we hadn't now.

Fingers crossed for you. Really hope it's your month. I hate the waiting around AF time its so nerve wracking.

[Carol1980]

@caty86
Our daughter is 29 months and we started to kinda try in January but to be honest I think this month was a proper go at it with DTD every couple of days just at the start of our fertile window.
I'm now on cd27 and I'm a 25 day cycle, but not getting even the slightest hint of a line on a test at the moment.
We had planned to start trying after our daughter turned 2 in October as we thought that by the time baby2 was born we would be eligible for free childcare so financially it made more sense. I could kick myself for not doing it last year but you can't predict how long it would take to get pregnant the second time round.
I wouldn't beat yourself up too much about it. You'll end up just constantly thinking ' what if' and it will stress you out x

[caty86]

Yeh I know you are right there are reasons for choosing to wait and we can't change that.

I just noticed my luteal phase seems to be quite short. Didn't properly do the ovulation tests but when I got the darkest line would suggest my luteal phase is only 9 days.

I didn't get my BFP with my first until 16 dpo so you are still in with a shot. My HCG also went up very fast at that point as I got Hyperemesis which lasted a long long time lol.

[Carol1980]

I checked my Ovia from the last time we got pregnant and I've marked down cd31 as our positive test but I'm pretty sure we were having other symptoms by the , I have none this time round so just a waiting game now, I cracked under pressure and took a FRER when i woke up from the night shift and it was negative. I hate wasting money on the brand ones so usually have a stash of the cheap strip ones but don't have any left but got some on the way. Think they said delivery for Tuesday though so the urge POAS is strong 🤣🤣 not telling the hubby that I've been buying the FRER ones though !

I'm pretty sure that the last time I would have tested earlier than what I updated in the app and I had inplantation bleeding last time round too but again not happened this time.

I'm pretty resigned to the fact that it's not happened this month, but onwards and upwards to the next !

I know what I'll be doing if I get quarantined 🤣🤣

[caty86]

Any news Carol1980

[Carol1980]

@caty86 nope, still negative and still no AF 🤷‍♀️

[Lottieloux]

@Carol1980 anything yet?
