Hi everyone! We are currently trying for baby #3 This is cycle 2 and CD5. Period last week was shorter and lighter than normal, really confused me as its never been like that, did 2 tests but both BFN so trying again this month :) Not putting too much pressure on it, just going with the flow and if it happens it happens, trying not to stress too much about it 🙈 anyone else TTC this month? Hoping I can chat in here with people doing the same ❤

@Tryingandhopeful definitely a line there! Does it have colour in it? Ooh I have everything crossed for you! 🤞🏼

Rudyroo · 22/04/2021 09:15

@Tryingandhopeful do you have another frer to try in the morning?

Tryingandhopeful · 22/04/2021 09:24

@Rudyroo yes there is colour on both the cheap and CB ones!! Just very faint! I am going to go out later and pick up some more frers 😂

Just done another cheap one and I think it’s come up a bit clearer than this mornings one?

@Tryingandhopeful well that is definitely clear! I think a congratulations might be in order! 🎉

Rudyroo · 22/04/2021 09:34

@Tryingandhopeful did you get the frer you used on Amazon by any chance? I read somewhere on another thread that they might be selling dodgy ones?!

purpleskyssssss · 22/04/2021 09:36

@Tryingandhopeful I defiantly see a line there on the cheapie and CB GrinGrinGrin

Mumofboys20122017 · 22/04/2021 10:07

@Tryingandhopeful I can definitely see something on the CB as well! Fingers crossed for you!! ❤❤

Thanks guys!!! It’s reassuring you can see something and it’s not just me!!! So frustrating having to wait a bit more though 🙈 Just praying those lines get darker!! I’ve been reading about late implantation and increased risk of mc 😢 so don’t know what to think right now!! Hate this limbo feeling!!

@Rudyroo I got the frers from boots!! I think I will go to Superdrug this time and get some more. The control line does look very different from the one I took on Monday morning! So maybe it’s an off one? 🤷🏼‍♀️ Time will tell tomorrow 😂

BethTTC · 22/04/2021 10:59

@Tryingandhopeful I definitely see lines in 3 out of 4 of those tests. Congratulations!

I had a slight bleed 5DPO which I thought was my period early but it was light and stopped after 2 days. AF was due yesterday and nothing but had a BFN this morning.

I recently had a MC and just stopped BC so it could be that my cycle is still crazy. Bought some Ovulation Sticks for next month just to see what's happening. Just want AF to arrive now so we can start this again.

Milly238 · 22/04/2021 12:10

@Tryingandhopeful ooo I can definitely see a line on the CB and the first one! I think I can even see something on the FRER although that could be my eyes deceiving me as you’ve said there’s nothing on that! Very promising! And I agree it could be that you implanted later? Ahh I’m sending you all the luck in the world! ❤️

Puppymamababymama · 22/04/2021 14:59

@Tryingandhopeful I definitely see lines on everything except the FRER. Maybe just a bad test as I thought those usually show up before the CB ones will. Fingers crossed for you! Today is ovulation day for me so just started my TWW!

Mumofboys20122017 · 22/04/2021 15:39

Oooo good luck @Puppymamababymama ❤ hope the 2WW goes in fast!

Ok guys I can’t believe it!! I’m over the moon!! I mean you read people getting BFNs at 10/11dpo and then get their BFPs later on, but really never thought it would happen to me!! I think with my DS as I got a really strong BFP at 9dpo that it should be the similar this time, but I’ve definitely realised every pregnancy is different!! The top CB pic is the one from yesterday and then bottom is this morning so the line is getting darker and there’s no mistaking the digital one! Thank you all for your reassurances!! Just hoping it continues to get darker over the week 🤞🏻

@BethTTC I’m really sorry to hear about your mc 😔 how are you getting on? Has AF arrived? You may have experienced implantation bleeding if it only lasted a couple of days or it may have been your body still adjusting after your loss? Have you spoken with your GP?

@Puppymamababymama aww good luck!!!! Sending you lots of positive vibes that this is your cycle 🙏🏻 Keep us updated!!!

@Tryingandhopeful the biggest congrats 💕💕

Rudyroo · 23/04/2021 08:25

@Tryingandhopeful waaaaaahh! How exciting! I think it's official now! Congratulations to you! 🎉

Rudyroo · 23/04/2021 08:30

So after getting really bad cramps the other night (10dpo) they have subsided and I'm not feeling anything now really. I'm 12dpo today but going to try and wait until Sunday to test. I'm so nervous 😬

Mumofboys20122017 · 23/04/2021 09:04

@Tryingandhopeful CONGRATULATIONS ❤ How exciting!!!

Missmcmonkeymcbean · 23/04/2021 12:34

@tryingandhopeful - congratulations!!! :)

@rudyroo - fingers crossed for you. I've been having mild cramps since my ovulation date. I'm only 6dpo though, when did yours start? I hope I'm not just imagining them!

Rudyroo · 23/04/2021 13:03

@Missmcmonkeymcbean I had mild cramps on/off all day 8DPO and 9DPO, then the night of 10DPO really quite painful ones where that woke me up during the night! Freaked me out a bit as it was so unexpected. The they eased off and I've had nothing since. Not sure what to make of it. Argh!
Really hope it's a good sign for you! 🤞🏼

Mumofboys20122017 · 23/04/2021 13:38

@Rudyroo fingers crossed for you! I was getting some cramping too before I got my BFP so hopefully you are the same :) well done for holding out until Sunday! I was due AF on the Sunday but started testing the Monday leading up to it 🙈 lots of baby dust your way!

Puppymamababymama · 23/04/2021 17:01

@Tryingandhopeful congrats!! So excited for you!! Told myself I won't let myself test until 10DPO but really would like to wait till 14DPO we'll see if I have the willpower to wait this cycle lol 😬

Puppymamababymama · 23/04/2021 17:31

Also where do you ladies get the cbdigis with the estimated weeks? I looked at three different stores last month and couldn't find any 🤔

tothemoonandback21 · 23/04/2021 17:32

Hi ladies, hope you don't mind me joining SmileLovely to see all the BFPs on here so far, huge congratulations to you all! I'm TTC for #3, on cycle 1. I had hoped I would be much more laidback this time round but here I am 7DPO, second guessing every possible symptom! Confused An early sign for me is going off coffee (normally unheard of!) and wasn't tempted by it this morning, so hoping that's a good sign and not something I've just imagined... Trying to hold out for HPT until 10DPO but am truly rubbish at waiting so tried with leftover CB digital OPKs yesterday (circle) and today (flashing smiley Hmm). I used them earlier in the month so pretty sure of when I ovulated, just wanted to experiment with the whole OPKs-picking-up-pregnancy-early theory...and to deter me from HPTing for real! Trying not to get my hopes up now, was probably a silly idea. Anyway good luck to you all, am rooting for you! Star
