Hi all,

Now in my TWW. We have been trying for DC #2 since October 19 and I had a chemical early March.

I usually use Clearblue Dig Ovulation tests but this month I just used cheapie OPK's.

Fingers and toes crossed 🤞🏻

Would love you hear all of your TTC stories.

Thank u very much my period Usually happen the same time every month just not sure what day it was x

Dimosaur · 17/04/2020 01:06

@dontstandsoclose I feel the same about a positive pregnancy test, altho I really want another baby, I'm so nervous about being pregnant again, the nausea, sickness.

I think with my first I was oblivious, but now I know what's coming! Haha
Plus with what's going on in the world, I'm worried family will think we're silly to be trying!

Had left side cramps tonight, I'm only 1dpo though!
Told myself I wouldn't get caught up in symptom spotting!

incywincyspiders · 17/04/2020 10:37

Guys, my nipples have got darker (tmi)... I don't want to symptom spot but it's really hard with stuff like this 😂😂

DontStandSoClose · 17/04/2020 10:41

@Dimosaur if we have managed to get pregnant I know we will face judgement (from my in-laws not my family) and people will 100% take the mick out of us having a corona baby, even though we have been wanting a 3rd for a year and had planned it! They’ll assume it was a case of locked in the house together. I’ve decided if we are we won’t tell anyone until 20 weeks, it’ll give my in-laws less time to judge us 🤣.

My period is due today, no signs yet... I think my husband is going to the shop either later or tomorrow so he can get a test then unless my period puts in an appearance. I don’t have any symptoms at all, but I didn’t with my other pregnancies, I only started to feel anything after 6/7 weeks.

DontStandSoClose · 17/04/2020 10:43

How do you stare at your nipples long enough to notice 😆 are changing nipples a thing?

incywincyspiders · 17/04/2020 10:58

Because it's an obvious change of colour! usually my nipples are quite light but they are darker and look more swollen than usual. AF not due for another week so don't think it's cos of that.

KSI88 · 17/04/2020 11:08

@incywincyspiders Fingers crossed this is a symptom for you. Mines are darker too and my nipples do seem bigger. Here's hoping.

@KSI88 think I'm just reading into everything.. when do you plan on testing lovely? you're the same as me aren't you?(5dpo)

KSI88 · 17/04/2020 12:08

@incywincyspiders I have the same symptoms I had when I was pregnant in Feb so I hope this is my month. Trying to wait as long as I can. Got a BFP at 11dpo last time which would be either 22/4 or 23/4 as I'm not sure whether I'm 5 or 6dpo. When are you going to test?

OP posts:
incywincyspiders · 17/04/2020 12:28

I've got my fingers and toes crossed! it's a good sign if you have similar symptoms! I think I'm gonna try to wait til 24th but I'm not sure I can 😂

Aluasen · 17/04/2020 12:53

I've got one for you ladies. But I don't know what to think. I took a frer test super early this morning because I couldn't sleep and thought I seen the faintest I'd faint lines within the 3 minute window but chalked it up as possibly indent because it was so faint. Forgot about the test and woke up this morning to this. The test is about 6 hours old so I know I shouldn't have been looking. I planned on throwing it in the bin when I realised I forgot to last night but noticed it before I chucked it. Any thoughts? I'm 9dpo today and looked at late frer before and have never had this.

Looks positive!!!! But could be evap since so long I’d try again tomorrow :)

Aluasen · 17/04/2020 13:13

@lk123 I thought it was most likely an Evan until I seen it had colour. It's hard to tell in the photo, for some reason MN app seems to drop picture quality for me 😂 it is definitely got colour in real life though

Aluasen · 17/04/2020 13:14

Evap* damn auto correct

KSI88 · 17/04/2020 13:30

@Aluasen I definitely think it has colour to it! You should test again tomorrow 🤞🏻

Hello everyone!

I'm new here so please forgive me for not using the shorthand. My husband and are trying for our first child. I am 4 days post ovulation so still quite early in my two week wait.

I had cramps all of yesterday and nipple pain for the last couple of days but I'm attributing that to my usual ovulation pains that come every month. I'm trying my best not to be obsessive about it but it's so difficult! Hopefully I can hold out until the 29/04, a day after my expected period before I do a pregnancy test.

All the best to all of you!

DontStandSoClose · 17/04/2020 15:40

Well just took a test and it’s positive 🎉, we are really pleased, baby Jesus it is... 25th December due date eek!

Aluasen · 17/04/2020 15:44

@DontStandSoClose congratulations! A Christmas baby too! 🎉🎉

Elenor1010 · 17/04/2020 15:45

So not trying to symptom watch but I cant help myself!! I'm now 1 week into my 2 week wait.
I always get period pains in my lower back rather than my tummy, would implantation pains be the same?? Ive been getting lower back pains all day and its way to early for my period pains to start, they've been like clockwork since I came off the pill in December. Also crazy tired.

Elenor1010 · 17/04/2020 15:46

congratulations!!!

DontStandSoClose · 17/04/2020 16:01

Thanks, I'm a bit sad I can't tell my closest friends though, one left her husband for a woman about 2 years ago but still wants children, she tried to get nhs funding but there's nothing physically wrong with her (she never tried to get pregnant with her husband). She needs to find £££ and wait for the clinics to reopen, not to mention the backlog after covid to go. If I tell my friends I think I'll get eye rolls, especially as it's happened right away again. Oh well we've just celebrated with a cup of tea Grin crazy! I'll just have to sit on our secret for a while a guess...

MissAR · 17/04/2020 16:04

Congratulations @DontStandSoClose 💕🎉 as I said before, sometimes no symptoms is a good sign 😁
@Aluasen yep , there is a line but definitely need to take another one...not sure how accurate is that after timeframe.🤞🏻

8dpo here and no symptoms at all, I don't have the dry mouth anymore and feel good overall but just so impatient😞

Dimosaur · 17/04/2020 16:05

Congratulations @dontstandsoclose! Woohoo!

OhSoCherished · 17/04/2020 16:13

@DontStandSoClose congratulations to you and your family! Such joyous news during this difficult time! Grin

gingerglitter4ever · 17/04/2020 17:04

Ahhhh congrats @DontStandSoClose that’s fabulous news! I’m currently 14DPO with swollen areola and heavy boobs 🤔 felt some dizziness today too but I don’t want to get my hopes up.. AF due Tuesday

How is everyone getting along?
