Hoping to get our BFPs in January ✨

[Decaffe]

All welcome to come along for the ride and lots of support along the way!

Checking in at 5dpo, no symptoms yet!

Hi all,

Hope it’s okay to post!

We’re ttc #2 and this is 3rd cycle now.

I got my peak smiley on Friday and today when I wiped I had some light pink blood tinged CM and not had anything since. I’m not too sure what this means? Can’t be ib as it’s way too early! Any ideas?

@ttcbabya for the one that gave me the BFP I used preseed that cycle for the FW days (a little goes a long way though... i've seen someone refer to using the real amount in the syringe as a slip and slide approach so be warned). I also used a fertiliy cup/menstrual cup, mine was called soft disc and it was a disc rather than cup, highly recommend you practice using it before you DTD and use it. The first time I did there was more in the toilet/on my hand than on me, the other 2 times were much easier once I knew how it went in properly (there is a video). Other things I heard that helped that I tried were consistently eating breakfast, taking a little extraB6/Vitamin C during the 2WW, and for 2 months before the BFP I took COQ10 which is meant to aid with egg health and cell reproduction. Lord knows which one worked, but something did. I had a really bad month of sickness too, and we barely DTD. If I had to pick one/two i'd say the COQ10 and the cup + preseed were the combo.

@AlmostLondoner hope you are doing well, and congrats! I found that testing once a day an hour after I woke up actually had the most concentrated FMU and gave me the best lines to compare day on day. Everyone is different, but that is what consistently worked for me. How many days are you? Like I wrote on the last post, it took till day 15+ for the lines to really start getting bold enough to not squint a bit.

@Purple29 hoping you get your BFP very soon. I too am a little older (36) and have a NICU premie who is great now, but started labour at 31 weeks, and managed to keep her in till 34 but she still spent 3 weeks in the hospital which was a truly horrible experience that I don't wish anyone to go through. The whole process is very traumatic I think even though the drs/nurses are by and large fantastic. I am truly terrified that this time I will also have a premie and go through the same thing. Hoping for a healthy and full term pregnancy for you when the time comes x

@CJB92 yeah definitely keep it up for the scan i'd say unless it all starts testing negative, and then you can get ready to DTD :) Sending all the love your way, what a rotten stressful situation!

Hey guys I’m ovulating tomorrow and hopefully u do get a bfp at the end fin yh e month. 2nd month trying for 2nd baby. Everyone whose had their bfp already so happy for you and everyone who hasn’t hopefully next month don’t be disappointed

@madeleine85 I am 13dpo today. It looks like my best concentration is in the evenings. I hope ot sticks. Thank you for your reassurance ❤️

@AlmostLondoner I literally found myself googling line progression easy@home test to see what other people had. There is such a range in the pictures. It really did make me feel a bit better. On the up side if you are still light at this stage, it's unlikely to be twins! I don't think I could cope with 2 at once, so I took that as a big positive lol.

@madeleine85 I knoooow 😅 my husband's cousin is expecting triplets in few months. Can you imagine? 😳🤯

@madeline85 I'm glad she is OK now. Yes, I think they might have tried to keep him in but from first contraction to delivery was 2 and half hours. So by the time I knew what was happening and got to hospital I was fully dilated. Your right, wouldn't wish it on anyone, whether it be 1 day or 100?! Fingers crossed we both get chubby full term babies soon!!! 👶

Ladies ... I feel v certain that I'm pregnant. My boobs are engorged , my period is 4 days late, my temp is elevated now for 15 days ... And still negative tests 😭

@HelloNope thank you and that's true still no bleeding or anything yet so I guess there's still a chance 🤞🏻🙏🏻 @madeleine85 oh wow that has given me hope 🤞🏻 I have the easy@home coming tomorrow. I've never used them before I ordered on Amazon 2 days ago prime thinking they'd be next day delivery but they're coming tomorrow so hopefully I'll have a clearer picture with those? 🙏🏻 how are you now?

@AlmostLondoner I think I would cry unhappy tears if that was my news lol. Good luck to them, that is going to be lovely, but a real challenge! I can barely keep up with one!

@madeleine85 I feel the same, I have 20 months old one and god 😅 terrible 2's are a real thing 😅

@CJB92 wow! She is so insensitive!! I'm glad you can still go to your scan though 🤞🏻

@AlmostLondoner there's progression there that's the main thing 💕

@arianasky hope they give you a little peace of mind when they come! I am feeling much the same... sore boobs when touched, but except from that and a little tiredness really nothing. I think morning sickness hit right around now with DD so a little concerned that it hasn't started. My scan isn't till a week on Friday so going a little demented. Hoping this time goes by fast, as I am sure you are!

@Btbt good luck, fingers crossed for you!

@arianasky thank you. How's you? Have you done any more tests? I was thinking of you ❤️

@madeleine85 yeah same with the tiredness and boobs, I'm sure all is good 💕💕 @AlmostLondoner I tested this morning FRER was about the same as yesterday and CB was a little darker guess it's just a waiting game now 🤞🏻🙏🏻🌈

@arianasky I think the whole pregnancy is a one big waiting game 😳 fingers crossed 🤞🤞🤞

@AlmostLondoner it definitely is 😂 from 2WW to waiting to go into labour 😂

@AlmostLondoner did you hold it until an hour after waking up? Or did you test on your second bathroom trip of the day?

Maybe I should be changing up how I'm testing

@Btbt my tests were fmu after I woke up and then in the evening. But I also did one stick type (accidentally 25 and not 10) around lunch which was smu, very dark urine as I didn't drink much. That one had faint line too

@arianasky labour is a whole different chapter 😅 but that waiting to for it to start is excruciating 😅

@Btbt all sounds promising !

Is anyone else testing early this weekend? 😅
