Anyone else ttc #2? Thread 2

[Chanel05]

New thread ladies!

[girafferafferaffe]

@GreenFlipFlop to be fair it worked for us last time. I came off the pill, had a period and Dd was conceived basically straight away dtd every day.

[girafferafferaffe]

I just don't think I can keep up this time hahaha. I was a young 28 year old then!

[ExPatHereForAChat]

I think I got my positive OPK this morning. CD15 instead of CD17 which is awesome as I'm trying to lengthen my luteal phase.

We're doing SMEP so we've been DTD every other day and now it's all system go for 3 days.

Dont know of it's just me, but I find the cold weather isn't helping with being in the mood!

Totally agree with PPs about trying to look on the bright side of a BFN.
I'm trying to convince myself if we don't fall this month, it's really not that bad as I can have all of the cheese and alcohol over Xmas.

Hi ladies, I was wondering if you can help me. I’ve just done a clear blue and think I can see a line… am I going crazy? I know I need to wait until FMU tomorrow but i don’t know how 🤣

[RockingGazelle]

@kitchen456 I never see lines when people post pics of hpts but that does look like one!! How many DPO are you? Fingers crossed for a stronger line tomorrow x

[kitchen456]

Thanks for replying @RockingGazelle. I think I’m 12 / 13 DPO and due my period in a couple of days x

[kitchen456]

This is the test 10 mins later…

[Moonshine160]

@kitchen456 it looks like an early positive, but I’m so sceptical about clearblue tests because of the amount of evap lines I see on mumsnet! I would try a pink dye test to be sure.

[GreenFlipFlop]

@kitchen456 I can see line!! 12/13 dpo sounds hopeful!! Keep us updated with tomorrow FMU! X

[girafferafferaffe]

Exciting!

[ExPatHereForAChat]

@kitchen456 I'd take this as a positive! How exciting, congratulations!

[kitchen456]

Thanks so much for your help! I’ve just done a FRER and I’m happy there’s another (faint line)! I’ll wait a few more days and do a digi xx

[girafferafferaffe]

Hurray!

[Tjsmjs]

@kitchen456 That looks positive to me. Fingers crossed for progression for you.

@ExPatHereForAChat I got my peak OPK today as well. CD12 so hopefully that my luteal phase will be longer this month. We are also doing SMEP but will end up with four days in a row now. Going to try to keep it fun.

I agree about trying not to get too focused on it. I did a curing meat course last week and I keep telling myself that if we don’t get the positive this month at least I can enjoy all the cure meats and cheese over Xmas!

[ExPatHereForAChat]

@Kitchen456 nothing faint about thay FRER line! Such lovely news before Christmas.

[ExPatHereForAChat]

@tjsmjs Curing meat course, that sounds great. Definitely the perfect pre pregnancy activity! I'm currently enjoying some red wine, sadly no cheese or cured meat in the house

[Tjsmjs]

@ExPatHereForAChat it was really interesting. It was a delayed bday present. But poor timing if I do get pregnant though we won’t be able to eat anything I make. Red wine sounds a good shout though.

[ExPatHereForAChat]

@tjsmjs though if you can't enjoy the fruits of your labour, I'm sure they'd make good Christmas presents!

We're bang in the middle of SMEP and I'm really glad we're doing it this month. Makes me feel like I'm doing everything I can. Although, I was meant to sleep more and nurse my DS less but that's gone to shit as DS has had a cold and is waking like a newborn through the night demanding feeds! Ah well!

[ExPatHereForAChat]

I think I'm currently 1dpo although my BBT has only risen 0.1 degree , so maybe not! This is my first time tracking BBT so not sure I'm doing it right to be fair, I'm just using a fitness tracker ring

[Tjsmjs]

@ExPatHereForAChat I’m so confused this month to. I thought I was 1dpo today as well but today is my third day of peaks on OPKs. It looked a bit less when I tested last night but then darker again this morning, less than before but still darker than the control. I’ve also been temping and have risen by 0.3c today from the last week but no good rise yet.

[ExPatHereForAChat]

It's so confusing! My ovulation tests were positive 2 days ago and yesterday and stark white this morning. How is that even possible?!

[girafferafferaffe]

So strange! Could it be a dud pack?

[ExPatHereForAChat]

There's every chance @girafferafferaffe They were the cheapest I could find on Amazon!

I'm hoping my BBT rises more tomorrow as otherwise I'm not 100% sure if I ovulated :/

[Moonshine160]

@kitchen456 there’s no doubting that positive :) did you have any symptoms before you tested?

Hope everyone’s getting on ok.
I got a blazing positive on an OPK this morning. I’ve been taking evening primrose oil this month and have definitely noticed more EWCM so I’m confident that it works! Going to make sure we carry on DTD over the next 2-3 days and hope for the best.

[girafferafferaffe]

Can't wait for AF to go so we can crack on!

Nobody knows we are ttc except one of my closest friends. We had a difficult time with dd and my h used to say we probably wouldn't have another when people asked but I always said maybe. I think if we manage it everyone will be so shocked. I also feel like it will be entirely different to our experience with dd which was a complete shock to the system. It feels like a little secret we've both got together which is quite nice.
