Hello ladies!
No matter how early it is, no matter how many symptoms you have or don't have drop your tests below and let us make a testing group and be each other's eyes.

I will test on Monday, which is the day AF is to arrive (... unless I'm just too curious and test during the weekend).

Baby dust to all of you!

@allthingssparkly trying to hold out till Tuesday for a test. 🙈 finally stopped bleeding today so wanted to wait a few days to see if I got anything. Buying FRER tonight 😬

Can't believe it's Sunday, the weekend has flown 😭

ThisOneIsMine · 06/03/2022 18:34

So AF decided to make an appearance, I'm out this month. 😞

Wishing you all loads of luck for those BFP

allthingssparkly · 06/03/2022 19:27

@Shansmith1412 I'm trying to hold out as long as possible too! Knowing my luck I'll test tomorrow with FMU, I'll be 11 DPO then 😊

Good luck to you ⭐

Hi all, I'm going insane. TTC number 2, have been umming and arring for a long time, took the plunge since last month. A million BNFs, but still no AF. I have so many unusual symptoms which I don't have normally before AF and it's making the test obsession worse.

Idk if anyone here has prior birth trauma, and if TTC can trigger something subconsciously? As I am now starting to think this... I am utterly petrified of TTC and having baby 2, but have taken the plunge after speaking to the local maternity unit about support. My heads all over the place...

sherbetmelon · 06/03/2022 22:04

@BeeYellowMumma hand hold, I also have awful PTSD from the birth of my DD and has taken me a long time to even think about TTC again. In the day time I feel totally ready and want to be pregnant again then when it's the middle of the night and I can't sleep I feel terrified and can't think of anything worse :(

greenrj · 06/03/2022 22:21

Obviously it’s well edited!! But I feel like no amount of brightness/contrast edits will make a line appear where there isn’t one. Thoughts?! AF due today/tomorrow

Obsessive testers welcome!

Hi - this sounds like my type of group :)

Ttc number 2
2 DPO currently after a chemical last month. Still doing opks to keep my testing at bay haha I'm hoping to get to next monday before I actually test

@BeeYellowMumma I had some birth trauma with my first and it has taken some time to feel ready for this now. There are some birth trauma Instagram accounts that might help you. You may just need to hold off for another month or two if you fell like this though?
On the other hand I am worried what I will feel like when im in my 2/3rd trimester and getting closer to birth if I will freak out

BeeYellowMumma · 07/03/2022 06:01

Thanks both, I've waited 4 years and with the clock ticking and us both now having a strong urge for number 2, definitely feel this is it. Obviously with the PTSD, it's making things harder.

However, this morning AF has appeared 3 days late... so that's me out for a bit. I'm never late so that has just thrown me completely.

allthingssparkly · 07/03/2022 06:55

I caved and took a FRER this morning with FMU, but BFN 😩 11 DPO today. So who knows what's going on 🙈 Good luck @Shansmith1412 🤞

Brideandprejudice · 07/03/2022 07:07

Hi everyone,
TTC #1 for me and I'm only 3DPO feeling like I wish I could test already! God knows how/if I'll be able to wait another 12 days until AF is due x

Shansmith1412 · 07/03/2022 10:00

@allthingssparkly trying to hold out till tomorrow, missed my FMU this morning and had no tests anyway (been at my mums all weekend because it was my hen party). I've got FRER on the way today so it gives me an excuse to wait 😅

Good luck everyone else❤

allthingssparkly · 07/03/2022 10:04

Good luck tomorrow @Shansmith1412🤞⭐🤞

Shansmith1412 · 07/03/2022 12:58

@allthingssparkly I caved and did FRER and BFN for me😢 I knew I should have waited till the morning

greenrj · 07/03/2022 13:04

Tempted to do a FRER on a 4hr hold this afternoon, got that vvvvfl on a cheapie yesterday which disappeared and a similar one this morning which was only there in the right light! They're 20miu though so I guess a FRER will be positive if they were showing hints.. just terrified of the disappointment yet again when AF is a day or two late now!!

Even if I ovulated later than I thought all I'd be 12dpo at the minimum now

allthingssparkly · 07/03/2022 13:05

@Shansmith1412 😓😓😓 someone on another post said that I could well only be 10 dpo today as my last postive opk was the 24th so my ovulation day would most likely be the 25th so my 1dpo starts from 26th Feb 🙈🙈🙈

I'm trying to stay positive but it's damn hard!

FastFish1993 · 07/03/2022 18:00

Hi ladies. Rubbish pic but what do you think - could this be the beginnings of a VERY faint line? I'm 3 days late and been having awful cramping, just wish my period would show up if its coming!!

Obsessive testers welcome!
FastFish1993 · 07/03/2022 18:05

OK that pic really shows nothing doesn't it. I swear there's something in real life..
😂😂

MiaTTC2 · 07/03/2022 18:57

A huge welcome to all the new ladies in the group!

@BeeYellowMumma, from what you are saying, I can definitely feel and understand your stress, but since you are certain you want to have this second baby, I believe that around the time he/she will be about to arrive you can't really escape the anxiety, but it won't be bigger than your desire to meet your little one ☺️. I have the feeling it will all turn out just fine.

@FastFish1993, don't worry! Just test again a couple of days later and it will hopefully be dark enough to be caught on camera.

@allthingssparkly, if you're really 10DPO it's still early! You do still have time to test again. Besides, don't they all say that you're not out until AF arrives? 😁

@greenrj, don't lose faith yet, sometimes it takes time for a positive to appear. If AF arrives don't worry, you're in good company.

@Shansmith1412, don't let that BFN disappoint you, you still have time. Let's see what happens the following days.

allthingssparkly · 07/03/2022 19:09

@MiaTTC2 AF due Wednesday or Thursday so maybe I'll wait till then to retest if she doesn't make her appearance! Plus I don't have any tests in anyway 🙈🙈

BabyBird20 · 07/03/2022 20:14

I feel like I have found my people on this group! I am 1dpo but got my peak on opks unusually early for me (12dpo instead of 16/17/18!) so not convinced I've even properly ovulated this month but already planning when I can start testing with my internet cheapies!! 😬😬

Shansmith1412 · 07/03/2022 20:18

Oooo excited to see what the week brings!
I'm in office tomorrow till Thursday so that should keep me busy. I presume AF is due at the end of the week, but I have no clue. Going to try hold off till Friday at least 😅 knowing me I'll have done 10 by then!

Positive vibes only from now on, I get married next week! It would be lovely to announce to my new husband 😊

MiaTTC2 · 07/03/2022 21:26

@Shansmith1412 congratulations on the wedding! (I hope double congratulations will come your way by the end of the week).

@allthingssparkly in your shoes, having no tests would be the one thing to prevent me from testing earlier than Wednesday/Thursday! Lol!

@BabyBird20 baby dust! baby dust!

greenrj · 07/03/2022 21:28

@MiaTTC2 thank you lovely - I dipped this then had to chase the bloody kitten down the road barefoot as he got out 😅 got back in, sat down, remembered the test, had a heart attack. Lucky I kept the pee just in case so confirmed with a digital!!

Obsessive testers welcome!
MiaTTC2 · 07/03/2022 21:33

I'm so jealous! I'm on medication for my nausea and dizziness (which, combined to being 9 days late and a faulty test, led me to blood testing and retesting for pregnancy until eventually AF arrived) so we are taking a break from TTC until around the end of April. I'm already creating my shopping cart with all kinds of ovulation and pregnancy tests in order to receive them by then. Can't wait. (I hope the medication works, by the way.)

MiaTTC2 · 07/03/2022 21:36

@greenrj OMG OMG! CONGRATULATIONS!! ❤️❤️❤️ I very much hope you'll have a smooth and happy pregnancy until you hold your little one in your arms!
