Hey @PinkButtercups I think I'm due to come on the same day as you according to my apps. I hope neither of us do though! 😄 Hope this time is as successful as your first. Our daughter took 5/6 months and we're in cycle 5 currently.

Thank you for the welcome.

Yes due on on the second and hope AF doesn't arrive for you either.

Taken a paracetamol and the ovulation pain has worn off. Just light pink spotting when wiping which always happens around ovulation for me.
I hope this is your cycle! My DS is 2.5 and 3 in the summer. How old is your DD?

@PinkButtercup it's good to have support from people going through the same thing 🙂.

My daughter is 2 tomorrow 😊.

I've got ovulation cramps at the moment and a few twinges. We're doing every other day at the moment so hopefully that's good 😬

Glad other people get ovulation pain/cramps. Mine was left side today. Sometimes it's central or all lower back or both sides 😂.

Oh how lovely! Happy 2nd Birthday for your daughter tomorrow!

Fingers crossed for you.

It's only in the last two days we've been trying and in all honesty tonight I'm so tired but I feel like because I'm at my peak I need to!

HollyT222 · 15/02/2022 08:59

Ah I gave in and tested today at 8dpo and BFN. I need to stop symptom spotting but it’s so hard isn’t it! I know it’s early, I didn’t get a BFP until 11dpo with my son but it’s hard to not lose hope!

Hope everyone else is having a good week. Good luck to everyone, whatever stage of the cycle you’re in!

GreenFlipFlop · 15/02/2022 11:39

Happy Birthday to your daughter @lovesT!

@hollyT222 8dpo is still early, there's still a good chance! 🤞🏾

Had my 12 week scan today and thankfully everything is fine! So relieved and happy! I've been so nervous for it!

Hoping for lots more baby dust for everyone this month! ❤️

trying36 · 15/02/2022 11:42

I'm ttc no2. My dd is 9. It's only our first month, but I'd like to join.

HollyT222 · 15/02/2022 12:21

Ah yes happy birthday to your DD @lovesT! What do you have planned? Hope she has a wonderful day 🥳

HollyT222 · 15/02/2022 12:22

And welcome @trying36! What stage in your cycle are you?

HollyT222 · 15/02/2022 12:22

@GreenFlipFlop so glad your scan went well. Congratulations! A big milestone

trying36 · 15/02/2022 12:36

@HollyT222 I'm around day 13 of a 21-25 day cycle. It's pretty nerve wracking as when I got pregnant with my dd we weren't trying- we split when she was 2 and I remarried 2 years ago.

whatsthecraic91 · 15/02/2022 18:08

@GreenFlipFlop great news! Hope you're keeping well xx

HollyT222 · 16/02/2022 07:03

Ah another very clear BFN this morning at 9ddpo ☹️

lovesT · 16/02/2022 11:09

@PinkButtercup and @GreenFlipFlop thank you! She had a great day.

I got my peak yesterday so we dtd and I wonder if we should tonight as well? 😬 Despite all the stress k felt about OPKs now I've actually had my peak I think they have helped as firstly I think I thought I ovulated a few days earlier and also were not so exhausted so can just dtd on the important days. I really hope it works!! But who knows. I guess I'm kind of in the tww now?! 😩

@GreenFlipFlop great that all is okay with your scan! So exciting xx

GreenFlipFlop · 16/02/2022 16:41

Thankyou @HollyT222 and @lovesT!
@whatsthecraic91 i hope you're getting on ok too!

@lovesT I'd def DTD tonight if you can just to cover all bases! Every little helps! I'm so glad the OPK's this month though, I'll have everything crossed!

lovesT · 16/02/2022 16:55

@GreenFlipFlop thanks! I think husband has had a busy day at work but I think you're right so he'll have no choice 🤣. Then the wait begins 😩😬.

HollyT222 · 17/02/2022 07:58

Ladies I had a dream that I got a positive pregnancy test last night so I woke up this morning and did one…. Got a very faint line on easy at home but nothing at all on first response which is supposed to be more sensitive. So now I’m worried it was a false positive ☹️ 10dpo today so plenty of time to keep testing but hard not to feel discouraged

Tjsmjs · 17/02/2022 14:21

@HollyT222 try not to feel to discouraged. Like you said there is still time and 10dpo is very early. Did you use the same sample for the two tests?

HollyT222 · 17/02/2022 14:35

@Tjsmjs thank you!

I’ve done another first response and there is a line. Still very early days so will see how things go over the next few days but fingers crossed 🤞🏻

lovesT · 17/02/2022 14:44

Oooh @HollyT222 I can't zoom in on the photo but I can see a line! That's very exciting but I know it's so stressful and uncertain. Really hoping for you that the line gets darker and it all goes well for you! Hugs whilst you wait 🤗

lovesT · 17/02/2022 14:47

I've heard red dye is more reliable than blue dye so hopefully!

Tjsmjs · 17/02/2022 15:24

@HollyT222 I can see that line. Fingers crossed for you.

whatsthecraic91 · 18/02/2022 20:43

@GreenFlipFlop all good here thanks! 26+3 it's flying!!

@HollyT222 congratulations 🥳

Skylark1990 · 19/02/2022 10:48

@HollyT222 can definitely see a line!! Have you done more tests since and line been darker? Congratulations 👏❤️ very exciting for you. When did you end up DTD this month in relation to ovulation?

@lovesT so glad you got your peak! Hope the tww has started off ok... It's such a long time isn't it!

@GreenFlipFlop congratulations on 12 week scan. Really glad everything is good 😌😌

Welcome to new people 😊

I'm CD7 today. Think we will DTD every second day from CD 10/11 till 17/18 and also day of my LH peak (if that happens to be the day after we DTD we will DTD again that day haha) if I get one this month. I feel like I didn't get a proper peak last month, maybe I missed it or it was because I was sick.

I still feel quite run down if I'm honest. Have had a cold sore outbreak and just feel very tired atm. It's hard as I feel due to feeling unwell / run down I worry it's not the right time to be trying, or that it won't stick if we do. 🤷‍♀️

HollyT222 · 19/02/2022 22:40

Thanks everyone. Tests are slowly getting darker which is good but I forget how worrying the early stages are, had quite a lot of cramping this evening which was worrying me but it eased off now.

@Skylark1990 I think we BD about 4 days, stopping on the day I got my peak (I go mostly by EWCM) and that had basically disappeared by then. I’ve also been taking some fertility vitamins this month and I wore socks and ate pineapple in the TWW. No idea If that made the difference but I did it with my son too 🍍
