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.

Ladies I'm really emotional tonight. The past six months of TTC have been so hard. With my first child I fell pregnant first attempt. I didn't think it would be as easy this time but having had a miscarriage a couple of months ago it's soul destroying. Seeing those lines appear and getting stronger then losing it, it's really cruel. I know I'm not the only one, it's just how I'm feeling today.

I'm so up and down today, I hope it's early pregnancy hormones. Bath and an early night I think! Good luck ladies 💕

@KSI88 really sorry you're feeling that way and I totally understand where you're coming from. I too fell easily with my first and then here I am 4.5 years of trying for my second. It comes in waves for me. Some months I'm fine and like what will be will be and then others it overwhelms me. I hope the bath and early night and a bit of self care help tonight. Be thinking of you and have my fingers crossed for you.

KSI88 · 19/04/2020 09:50

@GinIsTheOnlyTonic. Thanks for replying. Feeling better this morning. Hoping it was just hormones! We've been trying for 6 months and you've said you've been trying for 4.5 years - I feel so silly now. Really really hope this is your month 💕

@KSI88 I have a good feeling that this will be your month 🙂 I don't know why I just do 🙂

I literally have zero symptoms. AF due on Friday (well maybe not as I'm going on my withdrawal bleed). Don't think this is my month but that's not surprising as it's only month 1.

Popcat120 · 19/04/2020 10:44

Hello!
Can i join?
I'm 4dpo... First month ttc number 2!

Olivia2020 · 19/04/2020 10:55

My sore boobs have basically gone now - 9dpo so I'm seek that as a sign it won't be my month ☹️just found out my partners best friends wife is 4 months pregnant too! I hate being jealous of peoples happy news 😩

KSI88 · 19/04/2020 11:03

@incywincyspiders Ohh I really hope so Incy. Have your symptoms completely gone? You had said about your nipples being darker? This TWW is torture at times! So many symptoms could mean anything. Wish there was something that was really obvious so we knew for definite 🙈 Are you still going to hold off until 24th to test?

@Popcat120 Hi! Of course you can. I'm either 7 or 8dpo today. Sending lots of baby dust x

@Olivia2020 Please don't be disheartened. I know how you are feeling. I don't want to get my hopes up to be disappointed again. I remember my cousin had announced her pregnancy just after I found out I was pregnant and then I had an early miscarriage. It was a horrible feeling and I remember thinking 'Why me?' not that I'd have wished it was her I was just so sad that she was going to be able to hold her baby and mines had gone. Here we are though, another month so maybe this will be it. You're not out until AF arrives and I've read online that so many women can have some symptoms that disappear before their BFP.

@KSI88 No my nipples went back to normal too 😂 I think they were just swollen and I think they were sore post ovulation. I literally have no symptoms now at all 😢 pretty sure I'm out. Just want Friday to hurry up so I can test.

incywincyspiders · 19/04/2020 11:10

@KSI88 and yes was going to try to wait til Friday but I may break and test from tomorrow 😂 just cos I'm a sucker for a line progression so on the small chance I'm not out, it might actually make me feel more in control 😂

KSI88 · 19/04/2020 11:10

@incywincyspiders You're not out until AF shows so fingers, toes and everything else crossed for you lovely 😊 💕

Hopefulmummie · 19/04/2020 13:18

Hi everyone. AF due in 5 days and I'm convinced it will come :( had a few twinges 6/7dpo but I'm not hopeful. Also been very emotional the last week

Olivia2020 · 19/04/2020 14:05

@KSI88 thank you! Fingers crossed 😘

KSI88 · 19/04/2020 14:17

@Hopefulmummie Hi! Could be a good sign if you've been emotional and have had some twinges. I was an emotional wreck yesterday as per my post last night 🙈. Fingers crossed for you. Do you have any children just now? How long have you been TTC?

KSI88 · 19/04/2020 14:19

Ladies, would be good to know where we are all from? I'm in Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 and our weather has been surprisingly good these past few weeks! Thank goodness given the current situation with Coronavirus. Spending most of my time in the garden ☀️

Hopefulmummie · 19/04/2020 14:21

@KSI88 no have no children so this will be our 1st. I got my coil out in July last year and we tried for a few months but no luck. We relaxed a bit on the trying for a few months but now back trying again and hopeful

MissAR · 19/04/2020 14:55

Hi everyone! 10dpo and a bfn for me this morning with a FRER.I know it's still early but after a whole week of being optimistic, now I feel like I m out this month...I don't feel it.
Anyway, will try a more relaxed approach next cycle(if I can).
Hope you all get your BFP!🤞🏻have a great weekend

Nat4392 · 19/04/2020 15:13

@KSI88 I’m from sunny Manchester (ironically it’s actually sunny at the moment)
Currently 11DPO with AF due on Tuesday. Not hopeful about this month, AF certainly seems on the way as I’ve been a right moody bitch today 😂 how is everyone else?

Popcat120 · 19/04/2020 15:51

I'm from Bedfordshire.
Probably about an hour from London.
Lapping up the last of the sunshine before I'm back to work next week... Nursing!

DontStandSoClose · 19/04/2020 17:33

I'm also in sunny Manchester too (or a town 30 min away anyway!). I'm keeping my fingers crossed for all of you. My period is staying away (although it'd only be 2 days late today). I've not retested since yesterday, will wait until we next go to the shop and buy a digital then.

I remember another symptom I had the other day before I took the test, a bloody nose when I blew it. I did think to myself "oh that's funny" (when I've been pregnant before I had a bloody nose every single day in the morning).

I keep having the odd little freak out over this being our 3rd, it's always been part of the plan but when my other children wouldn't go to bed last night I thought what are we thinking!!!

OhSoCherished · 19/04/2020 18:22

I'm based in Oxfordshire. It's been really sunny here too (apart from the non-stop rain yesterday) but still a bit of a chill in the air. I'm trying to get as much sun as possible in the conservatory while reading to keep myself well distracted.

lk123 · 19/04/2020 19:12

Hello! 11dpo today bfn this morning!! But have some nausea and dizzy spells and boobs are so sore, TMI warning but had like gummy cloudy cm as well! AF not due until Saturday though but got 3 tests left to keep checking every morning hahaha going to drive myself crazy!! Sending baby dust to everyone of you xxxx

incywincyspiders · 19/04/2020 22:09

Just looked at reviews for the cheap pregnancy test strips I got and they apparently don't show positives until the first day of your missed period 😂 so I guess I won't be testing until Friday anyway 😂

OhSoCherished · 20/04/2020 08:30

@incywincyspiders I totally get the temptation to test early, it's been bitting me hard but at 7dpo I know for sure there's just not enough HCG to pick up, even with an early detection test.

I know I won't be able to wait until AF so I'm going to be sensible and test at 10dpo. That's a healthy compromise for me 😅

incywincyspiders · 20/04/2020 08:35

@OhSoCherished please talk some sense into me. I'm desperate to test today (I'm 8dpo).. I know it will be negative but I can't help myself. What's worse is I'm at work and we sell tests so could easily do it.

lk123 · 20/04/2020 08:42

Bfn again for me this morning:(. Anyone used the zoom baby early detection strips??? Beginning to think I ovulated later than I thought and am maybe 10dpo and not 12dpo! Or hoping so anyway!!! Af due Saturday so might hold off on the testing I just can’t help myself!

Anyone had a bfn at 12dpo but still been pregnant?
