1DPO after a chemical last month and a MMC in April. Really going to try and not test early this month but I have a serious addiction ha. Baby dust to everyone ❤️

TWW even 😂

So sorry for you losses @RKEE ❤️

I'm 2 dpo and am going to try and hold off until 2nd Nov but have a feeling I'll test around 11 dpo!!

I know that every pregnancy is different but 11 dpo is when we got our last BFP in June. Unfortunately, it ended in a mc at 6 weeks. This is our first cycle of trying after the mc.

Hopefully this is a lucky cycle for both of us and we get our sticky beans!!🍀

RKEE · 20/10/2021 21:13

Thank you. So sorry for your loss ❤️
We’ve got this! I may try and hold off until the 1st November, not sure why but sounds like a nice round date 😂

Haha yeah I'm trying to keep a date in mind this time rather than counting up the dpos to see if it drives me less crazy! Not working so far tbh! I think I'll still cave and test early!😅

Are you trying for you first?

cocoforbes · 20/10/2021 21:20

*your!

RKEE · 20/10/2021 21:36

I like the idea of having a date. We will see if we both last until then ha! Yes trying for my first, is this your first?

OP posts:
cocoforbes · 20/10/2021 22:02

Yes my first too. I'm sure we'll try our best but the tww is so tedious!

RKEE · 20/10/2021 22:09

We can do it! 💪

cocoforbes · 25/10/2021 23:58

How are you getting on @RKEE??

I tested today 🤦‍♀️ obviously BFN! I think I'm going to have to make sure there are none in the house next time!

RKEE · 26/10/2021 00:01

@cocoforbes that is so funny because I tested too even though I am 6DPO! 😂😂😂🙈 I was thinking the same as you, I did contemplate telling my other half to hide the tests but I know I would only order more 😂. I think I have come to terms with the fact that I will test early everyday no matter what 🙈 Fingers still crossed for us both 🤞❤️

OP posts:
cocoforbes · 26/10/2021 08:33

@RKEE 😂😂😂 I think maybe I need to come to that realisation too. The site I order tests from takes at least 2 days to deliver though so it would stall me a bit!

I know it is so very unlikely to get a BFP this early but I think the fact there is a sliver of a chance is what does it for me!

Really hope this is our month! 🍀🤞🍀

RKEE · 26/10/2021 09:10

I wish I didn’t have any in 😂

Me too and then we can at least be testing for a postive 😊🤞

Hi! Can I join you ladies? This is my cycle 7 but first trying the SMEP, do about 4DPO today. Every TWW I say to myself no more symptom checking, conception board surfing and POAS-ing but it never lasts long !

cocoforbes · 26/10/2021 11:16

Welcome @Imisscoffee2021 love your name 🤣

How did you find SMEP? We tried it for the first time this cycle too. Found it quite hard to get in the mood for all the back to back days especially after work but we managed!

Are you trying for your first too?

Wishing you all the luck for a BFP this month! 🤞

cocoforbes · 26/10/2021 11:40

Oh god I just got my test from this morning out of the bin to check again 🤪 What is happening to me, I'm going crazy!

RKEE · 26/10/2021 11:40

@ @Imisscoffee2021 Come and join us 😊 I have heard of the SMEP method but need to do a bit more researching if this month doesn’t work out!

OP posts:
Imisscoffee2021 · 26/10/2021 15:26

@cocoforbes I found it quite reassuring to be following a plan, but because my LH surge came on super fast after having low fertility result in the morning, we had DTD that night before so we did three in a row but not the three you're meant to do as we missed the third one after peak fertility. The guide says that's the ones to miss if you have to miss one so not feeling too bad for first try, hoping next month there's a day of rest between DTD and then the three ina row, hubby can't be doing four days back to back! 🤣 We were away too so missed the one last 'just in case' day but I'm fairly confident when I ovukated as I got a tender pain on my right side which had the dominant follicle this month (happened to have a transvaginal ultrasound a few weeks ago and saw it!). This is trying for our first and really thought it would happen first try, or at least easier than this as we go into 7th cycle! I'm 33 so feeling the clock ticking a bit! Fingers crossed this is a good month for us!

cocoforbes · 26/10/2021 21:16

@Imisscoffee2021 we also had 4 days in a row! Definitely not easy 😬 We ended up not doing the extra one at the end too. I know what you mean about having a plan, feel like we ensured that we did everything we could when it comes to DTD.

I'm 34 and DH is 35 so we'd like to get a move on with getting our BFP too!

RKEE · 28/10/2021 08:55

Any good news yet ladies? I dreamt about pregnancy tests last night 🙈😂😂

OP posts:
cocoforbes · 28/10/2021 09:14

@RKEE I have had some crazy pregnancy related dreams recently! Some where I've woken up thinking I'm pregnant and then realise I'm not. The brain can be cruel sometimes!

Think I'm out really, BFN again today, going to try and just wait until the 2nd now for either my period to come or do a final test. I'm away this weekend and I'm not taking any tests. It will also be hard for me to buy them which is good!

How is it going for you both?

RKEE · 28/10/2021 09:23

You definitely aren’t out yet! Hope you have a lovely weekend and forget about this for a bit 😊

I’m out of tests until tomorrow so will see again tomorrow morning and then probably wait until day of period like you if it is negative.

We can always try again next month can’t we 💪

OP posts:
cocoforbes · 28/10/2021 13:29

@RKEE thanks am definitely going to try not to think of it! Good luck testing tomorrow, fingers crossed for you!! 🤞

cocoforbes · 31/10/2021 08:56

AF arrived yesterday 😢 two days early so at first I was furiously googling implantation bleeding but then it got much heavier! On to the next one!

How are you both getting on?

cocoforbes · 16/12/2021 22:49

@RKEE @Imisscoffee2021 how are you both getting on?

BFN last month... in the tww again, 5dpo and counting!

RKEE · 17/12/2021 03:45

Hey @cocoforbes I got my BFP last month. I am still really early though, 6 weeks today. Fingers crossed for you this month. How nice would it be for you to get your BFP just before Christmas 😊
