So this is 11dpo! Can I call this a BFP yet?
I've been using internet cheapies but I've got a bigger more expensive test for when I'm sure.

@Dreamingof3 that is a lovely babygrow!
I'm getting excited to go shopping again. Although if we have another boy I won't need to get too much. 😂

@DanceWithYourBalloon I'd definitely say so!! ❤️❤️

@DanceWithYourBalloon wow I would definitely say a BFP how exciting ❤️

I'm 7dpo and have got horrendous cramp and back ache this morning but that could also be my AF beginning to show as I'm due at 9dpo. No spotting so far so hoping my luteal phase may be extending slightly but not getting my hopes up. Will see what happens on Monday if AF arrives

@DanceWithYourBalloon I would definitely say a BFP!!! The line is coming along nicely! Congrats! xx

@DanceWithYourBalloon without tempting fate, I’d say so! 🥳 congratulations!

Congrats @DanceWithYourBalloon! Def a BFP!

I’m 8DPO and can’t decide if I’m getting mild cramps or just hyper aware of every feeling in my pelvis atm.

Congrats Balloon! 🥳 looks like you can take a better quality test now just to sure up!

5dpo here, been having odd twinges and one sided cramp which doesn’t usually happen. Also a little dizzy like I was when pregnant with DD. But wondering if I’m reading too much into things! Going to test at 12dpo and not a moment sooner.

@Amber17 @Organictangerine the TWW is so hard with symptom spotting. I've done so well not to symptom spot until today. Crampy, backache and headache but also just symptoms of AF. I'm going to test at 10dpo if AF hasn't arrived since that will be classed as a missed period for me

Yay @DanceWithYourBalloon looks good to me!!

@FourOclock so glad the scan went well!

@Dreamingof3 Cute!

@WingingIt09 ive bought a ‘big sister’ top which I’ll put on DD and wait for DH to figure it out. Knowing him he won’t notice and I’ll have to just tell him 😂 fingers crossed it still fits when I do get pregnant!

@DanceWithYourBalloon definitely a positive!! Congratulations!

@Organictangerine such good restraint to not test before that! Haha

CD12 for me today so getting closer to my fertile period. Not sure whether to track ov this month or still try and just be relaxed about it all.. definitely not feeling relaxed.

@WingingIt09 I'm not sure what I'll do to tell my other half.

@tryingtryinggone I like that idea....probably 50/50 that he'd notice 🤣

Now that we're getting close to properly trying I'm spending so much time looking at baby things and baby announcements 🤦‍♀️

@tryingtryinggone that's cute! We used a big sister top for my eldest to tell family when I was pregnant with DD2. Couldn't find that again as the girls are old enough to pick up on conversation and then the world and his wife would know I'm pregnant! Also want to protect the kids from any early miscarriage (especially as I've currently had 2 miscarriages in 4 pregnancies) so won't tell them anything until after dating scan.

@Dreamingof3 yes I'm the same!

@DanceWithYourBalloon congratulations!!! So very exciting

@FourOclock love the scan photo ❤

I'm 5/6dpo and been having little butterfly sensations around 3 times and a sharp pain last night. I felt like I might have pmt earlier so who knows. All too early anyway!

@tryingtryinggone thats a great idea! Let us know if he notices! 😂

@DanceWithYourBalloon definitely looks positive to me!! Congratulations 🥰 are you going to take an FRER / clearblue to confirm? (Not that it looks like you need to on that one!)

@Tropicana1 I live in France so I've just grabbed whatever they had in the pharmacy! Just feels a little more proper than the tiny internet strips! 😂

Me too! I’ve got loads of baby things saved in my wish lists and I’ve mentally planned my insta announcement 😭 please let this month be ours 🤞🏻

Good luck! Got my fingers crossed for you!

@Organictangerine
I have stuff saved on my Amazon wish list too! 😍
Still have most things from the boys but I have a beautiful Claire de Lune Moses basket, stand, and sheets saved to buy for somewhere to sleep downstairs.

So think AF is on her way. Started spotting and AF due in two days so it seems my luteal phase hasn't extended any this month. Even though I didn't have high expectations this month still feeling upset. On to cycle number 6 of TTC now does anyone else feel it's just harder and the excitement drops with each month of TTC

I have a pram and sling I kept from DD, but would buy everything else new - I’ve been eyeing up so many cute baby clothes, playing mats, bouncers etc. It will hopefully be so lovely to have a baby in the house again! My last maternity leave was a shit show and most of it was in some form of lockdown so it would be a real treat to go to baby groups etc this time

Ohh LJ bummer 😞 I’m sorry to hear that.

@DanceWithYourBalloon its this one from h&m so quite subtle as it is so I’m not holding out much hope of him noticing when the time comes 😂 just need to get pregnant now. I’ve got around 6 months until the top won’t fit my DD anymore so better get a shuffle on! Haha
