I have a 3yo DS, we have decided to ttc for baby number 2. According to my app I ovulated on 30th May. We DTD on 29th May, 31st May, 1st June, 5th June and 7th June. So... fingers crossed.

I have a pack of 5 cheapie PG tests. I took one this morning which looks BFN. When should I try again? I feel reallllly bloated which has made me hopeful.

@jammyone slightly weird haha really have been twinning! Will be keeping everything crossed for you let me know how you get on tomorrow? How mad would it be if you are too! OH was laughing at me when I said we have to keep dtd, he was exhausted but now he’s glad we did. We are so excited hope it all continues and we can tell our little girls in few weeks 😆

Well @Bumblebei AF didn't arrive, and my frer tests have just got here. I'm working up the courage to test. Or should I wait til tomorrow morning do you think?

OP posts:

@jammyone ooooh I would test today! I’d imagine it would come up on the frer 🤞🏽🤞🏽🤞🏽

jammyone · 11/06/2020 12:50

Bfn 😭

Gutted tbh, I really thought it would be positive. I'm gonna try to relax now and not think about it, then reacess in a few days if AF hasn't arrived!

OP posts:
jammyone · 11/06/2020 12:56

Ok I may have spoke too soon! I've just had another look at the test and there is a tiny tiny visible line.

OP posts:
Bumblebei · 11/06/2020 13:05

@jammyone 😔 The best thing is AF hasn’t arrived so definitely try to relax for the next few days, easier said than done I know and then test again. You did say you weren’t sure if the ov dates were correct so it’s very possible you’re just a little early 🤞🏽

Bumblebei · 11/06/2020 13:06

Omg! Really? Can you post a pic? I saw on another thread that there’s an app that can detect lines that are very faint - maybe see if you can find one

jammyone · 11/06/2020 13:10

It's extremely faint, so I won't be upset if you can't see it, I can see it better in real life than on the photos.

@jammyone I can see a line! Yes it’s faint but there is clearly a line!! Omg how exciting. I would definitely test again in two days time if you can and I think that will be darker!

jammyone · 11/06/2020 13:42

Thank you @bumblebei I feel really shaky! Part of me thinks it could be an evap line, but I'll try again tomorrow.

OP posts:
Bumblebei · 11/06/2020 13:49

@jammyone it’s so scary even though it’s what you really want to see! Good luck. I would say too I’ve found my afternoon lines to be stronger than the mornings for some reason! Hope it shows up darker tomorrow for you 🥰

jammyone · 12/06/2020 08:55

Ever so slightly clearer one today.

Very positive news. How do you feel? I want to do another test but I’m too nervous to and just want Sunday to come and go to make sure AF doesn’t arrive

jammyone · 12/06/2020 15:28

I feel okay thanks, still majorly bloated. i'm definitely convinced, I would put money on it in fact. I've bought some more tests that I have squirrelled away for Monday. I haven't even told my DH yet!

How are you feeling?

OP posts:
Bumblebei · 12/06/2020 16:23

I feel same, very bloated and lots of pulling but feeling good. I haven’t got anymore so will buy some on the weekend and test Monday. If you could wait it would be a great fathers days surprise!

I’ve joined a small private Facebook group for people due Feb 2021 if you wanted to join. Didn’t do it with my others but looks like it could be fun in the coming weeks and months when it all gets a lot more real! I find myself going on the worrying threads and I’m scaring myself silly with them 🙈

jammyone · 12/06/2020 17:51

Lots of pulling here too, it's unnerving isn't it? I also have a bit of an achey back which I'm sure I had last time.

I think I'd love to join, but seems sensible to wait a few days, I want a nice dark line before I get too carried away! 🙈

OP posts:
Bumblebei · 12/06/2020 18:00

I have the backache too, it’s been so long since last time I can’t remember anything other than bad sickness so worrying over every twinge now.

I’ve joined said hi but that I’m keeping quiet as very very early days way too nervous to get excited just yet. Need to get over Sunday first! Can join once you feel time is right 🙂

jammyone · 12/06/2020 18:05

Thank you.

My AF is due tomorrow, I just had a tiny bit of pinky stuff when I wiped so I'm getting all nervous now. What will be will be!

I was lucky and never had any sickness with my little boy, infact I felt better pregnant that I do regularly 😂

OP posts:
Bumblebei · 12/06/2020 18:54

Did you have that with your first? I didn’t have anything with mine so I’m really nervous every time I go to the toilet as apparently it’s common to have some spotting and it’s the egg implanting 😬 saying that I’ve only learnt that off here..told you too much reading for me lol

jammyone · 12/06/2020 20:43

I read that 1/3 of women experience some bleeding during implantation. I definitely had it first time round as I remember it looking exactly like the Google pictures showed 😂 I had the exact same type of bleeding on Monday and Tuesday.

I'd forgotten everything else tho, like got some reason I assumed if I was pg I'd be due in April 🥴 forgetting that if I get a positive test it's likely I'm almost 4 weeks already!

Are your boobs sore at all? I remember mine being so bloody sore last time, haven't felt that yet tho.

OP posts:
Bumblebei · 12/06/2020 21:57

Sounds pretty normal then if you’ve seen it before I am no help at all there though!. I remembered the boobs being huge and sore, but not sure if that was in pregnancy or after birth, I went to a G cup and being only 5ft I looked like I was going to fall over 😂

I’ve had sharp jabbing this evening in right side lower abdomen not painful but definitely noticeable. I didn’t find out until around 9 weeks with my first and around 7 weeks with second so wouldn’t know what symptoms I had this early on but other than the sore boobs the other day that prompted me to test they feel normal again.

I’m quite worried about the sickness as there’s no chance I will be able to hide that from work if it’s like I was previously. Anything and everything set me off.

I’ll admit with the dates I was already looking at due dates before I even ovulated lol it’s calculated to the 22nd Feb imagine yours is very similar?

jammyone · 12/06/2020 22:28

Yes I got the 21st! I have 31 day cycles on average tho.

My tummy feels so big and bloated, I am actually considering getting my pregnancy pillow out 😂

I told my DH my suspicions this evening, for some reason was really nervous about it. He was half happy, half scared bless him. We've decided to hold out til Monday if no AF and test again.

Keep me updated!

OP posts:
jammyone · 13/06/2020 17:14

Well a BFN on a clear blue early test today and more bleeding, think I'm out 😭

OP posts:
Bumblebei · 13/06/2020 19:32

@jammyone oh no that makes no sense though, you’ve had spotting for several days which I thought is implantation. Is it like AF or still little spotting? I hope you’re ok 💐

jammyone · 13/06/2020 19:40

Thanks @bumblebei , how are you feeling?

I'm not sure what to think. I've got the same dull ache that I assumed was implantation, the same pinky /brown spotting. Don't know if it's AF (tho seems very mild compared) or what. All I can think is that maybe these clearblue early tests aren't as sensitive as the frers I used previously. Either way tho surely I should be getting a line now if pg 🤷‍♀️

It's a mystery!
