@ttcbabya hi there!! How you going? 😊 just thought of checkin in

[Keepingmyfingerscrossed]

@newjourney21 hi there! What’s happening? How are you feeling?

[Jujules20]

@Anotherboy oh that's grand especially as it's ics. Keep positive and relaxed.

Am doing ok
Tested this am 11dpo and line is defo darker so am excited

[Cmacq32]

@Jujules20
That's exciting... Oh I hope so 🤗
I ovulate on CD 20 last month and AF arrived 8 days later so definitely all over the place.
Fingers crossed for us 🤞

[newjourney21]

@Keepingmyfingerscrossed hi! I am 9dpo today, symptoms seems to have slowed down over the weekend so trying not to overthink it too much haha and will probably test on Thursday. AF due on Friday! How are you doing?

[Keepingmyfingerscrossed]

@newjourney21 okay. I never getting pregnant will be so difficult. Lol. I just feel like my body is just doing weird things ever since we have started this ttc journey! Let me know how get on 😊 am doing okay. I have a feeling am out this month as I had a bit of brown discharge this afternoon only when I wipe (sorry tmi). After that I am quite bloated, my uterus feels heavy and full, mild cramping in lower abdomen, so it all feel like just when I am about to get my periods. I had a pad on just in case I start bleeding but no bleeding yet. Will check again in some time. I was quite hopeful though. My boobs and nipples were so sore that I didn’t like my hubby to touch them 🙈 and I never get them before my af! And yes, a few other things but .. my af is due tomorrow. Will let you know 😊

[Keepingmyfingerscrossed]

@newjourney21 sorry for all the typos!! 🙈😅

[MummyBear405]

@Keepingmyfingerscrossed that sounds positive with the sore boobs and often pregnancy symptoms are similar to AF symptoms. Have you tested?

[Keepingmyfingerscrossed]

@MummyBear405 hi! 😊 no I haven’t. I have wasted so much on these tests past few months 😞 and also had hcg blood tests. All negatives. I feel like I just don’t have any strength left to see anymore negatives lol. So this time, I have no strips left! I just checked again and no bleeding yet. Just a tiny drop of brown discharge on my pad (sorry for tmi). I feel like it will arrive any minute now. May be when I wake up next morning..! How about you? Are you testing?

[ttcbabya]

@Keepingmyfingerscrossed hey sweetie! thanks for checking in - I'm doing ok. tried taking my mind off the whole ttc this weekend and dtd plenty of times which was nice as no pressure just having fun with it. im 14dpo today with af due anytime this week!
i do have slight knee pains and stomach twinges so reckon i might be out this month. i had a cheeky test on Thursday (10dpo) and Saturday (12dpo) and both were BFN! can't help but feel disappointed again, will my BFP ever arrive and if so, WHEN!!?

anyway, i caught up and read your posts - how are you doing? has af shown her face? do you plan on testing? i wouldn't look into the LH tests, stick to getting a solid answer from an HCG test. until af turns up, you're not out. hoping the spotting is implantation for you 🤞🏽

Morning Ladies!
Jumping over from the November thread!
On CD15 and got positive OPK yesterday.
Been following the SMEP this month so DTD lots!
Also had reflexology on Saturday for the first time ever and it caused me to ovulate a few days earlier than usual, which is good as I usually only have an 11 day LP. She also said my Fallopian tubes were blocked so she worked them through! 🤞🏻it helps.

Haven't had chance to read through everyone's comments yet but sending lots of baby dust to everyone.

Here's to the start of the TWW!

How is everyone doing?

[Anotherboy]

Awesome @Jujules20! I have issues with testing so will do at least one a day over the next few days!!

[MummyBear405]

@Keepingmyfingerscrossed oh bless you! It is so hard, I'm only on cycle 2 TTC our second but we didn't go through any of this with our first so it's still a bit of a novelty to me I think!

I'm only 2 dpo but we didn't managed to DTD the day I ovulated so we're not very hopeful for this month! Planning to test on Monday at the earliest, although I'm going to try and hold out as long as possible.

Sending you lots of baby dust, you're not out yet xx

[MummyBear405]

@Natalie2304 were you in the November thread? I'm 2 dpo so just started my TWW, fingers crossed!

[Natalie2304]

@MummyBear405 yes lovely I was!

In a similar position to you. We are on cycle 2 of TTC no2. Fell pregnant in the second cycle with my first so hoping for the same!

How you feeling about it this time around?

[alexalexalex18]

Hey lovely ladies,

I've been part of the November TTC thread, hoping this month I get lucky

[Cmacq32]

@Babyboom1990 how are you getting on? Its been a few days since you tested, did you take another? X

[newjourney21]

@Keepingmyfingerscrossed defo with you on my body doing weird things since TTC! But then I'm thinking did these things always happen but I just wasn't ever paying as much attention! That does sound quite positive....hopefully it is implantation bleeding and not AF!

I felt like I was coming on for a few days and then nothing but one thing I can't seem to shake is pain underneath my ribs which seems very strange! Not sure I've heard of that being a symptom but anything goes I guess! Have my fingers crossed for you

[Keepingmyfingerscrossed]

@ttcbabya oh that sounds so good!! I tried not to think of ttc and tww last month and here I am again! Lol.. sometimes it good just to let your body do what it wants to do and not pay much attention to it. I never really noticed any twinges before this whole drama started. Not even ovulation cramps! And now I symptom spot everything and end up feel like a crazy women when I get my bfn. I did have strange knee pain this whole tww..

Small bleed (like spots but little more than spotting) on my pad but no af yet. Cramps are 5x sore. It was so bad I couldn’t sleep well.

We both are in the same boat. Let me know how you get on ❤️ And you are not out until af shows! So keeping my fingers crossed for you 😊

[Keepingmyfingerscrossed]

@newjourney21 and @MummyBear405 just thought should give you an update- woke up with terrible cramps this morning! Checked and only a very small amount of bleed on my pad so far. Doesn’t look like an af yet? But stomach cramps are 5 times worse than my usual period. And no sore boobs now. So not sure what’s happening. I’ll keep you posted.

[Keepingmyfingerscrossed]

@ttcbabya @MummyBear405 @newjourney21
Just an update (sorry tmi) - am bleeding more than yesterday and this morning.. it started with brown discharge in the afternoon yesterday. I decided to wear a pad in case I get my periods. Nothing until night and Then saw a few drops of red/pinkish blood last night before going to bed. Just tiny drops. I had terrible cramps last night that woke me up this morning at 5. Went to the loo and noticed just a few drops more. It didn’t look like my regular af.
Anyway, by this time (10am here), I can see more bleeding. Red/pinkish flow.. no clots. And still not enough to soak even half a pad. Very less. Am still bloated, less cramps but still have them. No sore boobs. Feeling a bit off. But I think am getting anxious that’s why. I am actually feeling very low honestly. Although I convinced myself that am not pregnant this time, but I was hopeful. I had some symptoms I never had before. And am sitting here completely clueless right now. I feel like somethings wrong with me and I’ll never get pregnant. I get bad dreams these days quite often. I had some vivid dreams this tww that am pregnant and father of the child is someone else.. and strange creepy dreams. I saw twice that am pregnant. But I always thought may be because I want to get pregnant that’s why all this. My periods are irregular last two months (and if this is actually my period, then three months), I am having stomach issues which has added to my worries. My Gp isn’t too concerned though. I k ow some will say this might be implantation and test but I feel like it’s not. I had similar issue past two months and had my beta hcg done and all negatives. So am completely heartbroken right now. Can’t believe I am actually crying while typing all this.

I wish you all good luck. Thanks for listening ❤️❤️ Keep me posted.

Good morning, does anyone have any experience of clear blue digital opks? I'm cd14 today and no smiley yet ☹️ this is my first month of being off the pill so I'm counting my last withdrawal bleed as my period... all a bit new to me as my first pregnancy was a little surprise. Do I just keep on testing until I get the smiley? Not sure how much BDing DP can take 😂

Yep, keep testing until you get your smiley! Have you got your high smiley yet? Maybe take a break and resume when you get a high or peak smiley? Good luck xx

[ttcbabya]

@Keepingmyfingerscrossed oh darling! I completely sympathise with you, I woke up to find light red blood in my pants and when I wipe. Wishing it's implantation too as I didn't think I would get pregnant this cycle but I was hopeful just like you, but I know that the reality is - this is the beginning of my period. I was having vivid dreams too. It's so horrible how the body can play tricks on you. It's so sad and horrible that we have to go through this. I never imagined ttc would be this hard. I hope that as with time passing, your stomach issues get sorted and you're that step
Closer to getting your BFP and gorgeous baby! Stay hopeful as hard as it may be xx

[peanutbaba]

@ttcbabya thanks for your reply! I've not had any smileys at all, just an empty circle up to now. I had no idea there were different smileys, I am so clueless!
