Hi All

Iā€™m about to start my TTC journey for baby number 2 and I am so so so so excited. šŸ˜ is anyone else starting their TTC journey too? Would love to have some ladies in the same boat. ā˜ŗļø

Baby dust to you all for the new year šŸ’–

@mrsGee20 I have some FRER arriving today not sure weather to test tonight or if its best to wait for tomorrow morning

AF is due Saturday /Sunday but my symptoms could be either PMS or a positive šŸ¤ž

Emmav2020 · 29/01/2021 14:38

@MrsGee20 ive read loads of different things like it helps implantation and lowers the risk of a Mc again. just wondering if anyone has taken it while ttc x

LJC90 · 29/01/2021 16:43

How's everyone else getting on? I'm 12 days late and still no AF and BFN other day.

I started taking pregnacare a few weeks ago and I've read reviews where people have said it delayed their period! Also cut out milk and meat a few weeks ago today so no idea if that's delayed it too??

@LJC90 hello! Yes I've read this also, I swiftly avoided pregnacare for that reason x
Sparkles512 · 29/01/2021 19:27

Urgh another BFN! šŸ˜­

Fingers crossed for everyone testing soon šŸ¤ž

LJC90 · 29/01/2021 20:31

@DizSquiz oh no wish I read that before I started taking them. I stopped a week ago, how annoying :(

@Sparkles512 sorry to hear that. Hoping we all get a BFP soon

Hiii to everyone! Just jumping on here because I'm driving myself mad googling things šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚ (pics of implantation bleed I really didn't need to see) . Im day 33 of my cycle, last month was 32 days ... usually around 28 days. Have prob every symptom of AF, had a little bit of blood day before yesterday but nothing since. Took a FRER and got a diagonal line bottom right corner (no idea what that means, prob faulty google tells me!)

Last few days I've felt like I'm def going to come on today... but then doesn't happen. So I'm sure it will be tomorrow. Over the past 2 years my cycle hasn't ever been over 33 days, it's just so annoying the month it is is the month I feel like we actually DTD enough haha

MrsGee20 · 30/01/2021 09:55

Sorry to hear @Sparkles512 ... me too but still no AF a which is messing with my head! Anyone else in this situation?

Does ttc make your cycles longer?! Seems a few people in similar situations...

glow92 · 30/01/2021 10:31

Just caught up here, having a bit of a weird one...
At 9DPO yesterday afternoon I started brown spotting which by night time and overnight turned into a light red bleed - still ongoing this morn.

I'm convinced that's me out and AF shown up 5 days early... does this sound normal?
Feels like a bit too much to be implantation, the only thing I'm clinging onto is that the cramps have only been very minor. BFN this morning.

Sparkles512 · 30/01/2021 12:00

Hi Ladies, still no AF and I don't feel like it's going to appear either, I usually have stomach ache and crave loads of chocolate but not this month!

I'm wondering if my cycle might be slightly longer this month but even so I would have thought I'd still have my usual cramps and carvings?

How's everyone else feeling?

@glow92 hey. Sounds like we are similar cycles. I am the same, pale brown spotting last night and more this morning. AF not due for another 5 days yet
glow92 · 30/01/2021 12:38

@DizSquiz I'm so confused! It's been nearly 24hrs now, using pads so I can keep an eye on it I know that sounds weird. Gutted if it but at least on the bright side I've got a head start on next cycle.
Do you have any other symptoms?
I still just have a mild ache and not full cramps... no sensitivity around my boobs.

Not weird at all, I started using panty lines this morning so I could keep an eye on it also, I do have sore boobs, have had some very mild cramping over the past couple of days and a couple of tugging feeling today but other than that nothing x

Hey.. this happened to me around March time. Was so weird, in the end put it down to a light period/stress (coincided with lockdown I guess!). I read lots of other stories of the same and sounded like implantation, just wasn't for me.

But now I'm late, but had crampy feeling for days - bit of blood when I wiped earlier, now nothing at all. I put tampon in earlier, and took it out and hardly anything.

MrsGee20 · 30/01/2021 19:18

Well AF arrived for me today so Iā€™m in a huff now about having period symptoms for almost two weeks... what is that?!

Hope youā€™ve all had better success than I have.. can we carry this thread into February? šŸ¤žšŸ¤ž

glow92 · 30/01/2021 19:56

Up for Feb šŸ™‹šŸ¼ā€ā™€ļø
CD2, cycle 3.

roxybear · 30/01/2021 20:02

@MrsGee20 sorry to hear that. Not sure about the period symptoms for two weeks?! Fingers crossed for this cycle for you! Stay positive xx

Hey ladies sorry Iā€™ve been MIA these last few days šŸ™ˆ Iā€™ve loved catching up!!

Massive welcome to all new ladies! So sorry about your losses for the ladies who has miscarriages and absolutely onwards to feb cycles those ladies who AF got. šŸ’–āœØ

Also massive good luck those who are still in the TWW. Iā€™ve now joined you all (I think). I had a raise in my opks on the 27th and I also had EWCM, however the OPK wasnā€™t really that dark but I remember for trying for my first I never got really dark opks. Been testing since then and theyā€™ve gone super light so counting that as ov and sooooo...

Iā€™m officially 4dpo and symptom spotting and driving myself crazy already šŸ˜‚

Hope youā€™re all okay and baby dust to you all šŸ’–šŸ’–

Top OPK taken yesterday, bottom is today. Am I ovulating or is it just close to?

Not that it makes a difference. We DTD last night and probably wonā€™t tonight Iā€™m just curious šŸ˜‚ only started taking them to make sure I was actually ovulating

xTinkerbell · 04/02/2021 07:35

Dark OPKā€™s Monday and Tuesday, negative yesterday and now randomly bleeding today.

Iā€™m so stressed šŸ˜­

@xTinkerbell hey,

The OPK is positive when the test line is equal to or darker than the control line, the peak will be the darkest line you get. X

As for the bleeding I haven't experienced this personally so am unable to advise x

xTinkerbell · 04/02/2021 09:35

Thank you @DizSquiz my OPK Tuesday was darker than the one I posted then lighter again the following day.

The bleeding is pretty light so far so hoping it jySr stops šŸ¤ž

DizSquiz · 04/02/2021 09:54

@xTinkerbell

@xTinkerbell How many time a day did you test when you got the dark line? X
xTinkerbell · 05/02/2021 09:35

Only one, I took one on Tuesday at 5 which was dark but another Wednesday at 5 which was a little darker...the instructions on the ones I had said to only test once and I wasnā€™t too stressed over using them, just curious if I ovulated round where I thought I did

@xTinkerbell Hey, I thought that I only had to test once a day too, but the peak passes so quickly my app told me on the day LH went to high to keep testing every 4 hours until you get your peak. As I believe it's over pretty quick.. I could be completely off the ball though.. hope that helps.
