Hi all just creating a new thread since the other one is almost full!!! Really really hoping this is our month, but not hopeful, DH is away with work for most of my FW and only comes home the day before I think I will ov. I've also injured my back!!!

@thelma57 Oh good news! Happy for you, time to get busy :)

@ScaredSally I hope everything goes well for you <3

Congratulations to all those announcing BFPs today! Xx

Mammamia23 · 23/10/2022 16:01

Hi all! New here. Congratulations on the positive results! Gives me hope!

I am 2 DPO. Our 2nd baby. Cycle 5, but life kept getting in the way previous months and we didn’t dtd as much as we should have done. This is the first month we did it properly. considering we already have a child, I’ve surprisingly forgotten a lot. We did it 5 times. Had a “day off” in my medium-high window, and dtd on peak day. Does that seem right?

i have internet cheaply pregnancy sticks. Do others use those? When did you get your BFO using them? And what is “better” for you - waiting for AF or getting a BFN? I can’t decide!

Congratulations to all the BFPs! I hope this is a lucky thread ✨

@Mammamia23 I’m currently trying to decide between waiting for AF or testing. I think I’ll wait until Tuesday when I’ll be 10DPO and test then. Have ordered some FRER from Amazon which won’t come until tomorrow anyway. What will you do?

Mammamia23 · 23/10/2022 17:03

Hi @buttercupbee i don’t know what to do. I always say I’ll wait til AF, but always give in and test. Problem is, the tests are so cheap I always blame the tests for being rubbish 😂 then when I get AF I get convinced it’s spotting. I’m a nightmare during the TWW.

i think 10 DPO on first response is a good shout for you!

thelma57 · 23/10/2022 19:16

How’re you getting on @Purple29 ?

buttercupbee · 23/10/2022 19:59

@Mammamia23 I’m exactly the same! The TWW is the worst, I said I wasn’t going to symptom spot this month but then I just can’t help myself 🙈 I think my DH is sick of hearing about it now haha

NatalieSF · 23/10/2022 20:31

Hey ladies 👋

Hope everyone is well? CD12 here hoping O day is in the next day or 2.

Been tracking BBT this month which is a first for me other than dropping the thermometer on my face while half asleep still it's going OK 🤣

staceymarieox · 23/10/2022 22:17

Did a test the other day after my bout of sickness and tummy upset but was BFN so I'm putting it down to food poisoning!

Feeling a lot better, still too early for this cycle so I'm not out yet so keeping fingers and toes crossed! Not really been tracking ovulation but my fitness watch gives a 10 day window where it predicts it will be, that is ending tomorrow but we have dtd 5 times during that, one of which was the day before the window but my CM was more watery that day so wondering if it peaked early and we caught it or totally missed it 🤦‍♀️🤣 so heading into TWW now, trying to keep busy so I don't take 5 million tests like I usually do!

Congrats to everyone getting their BFP, and everything crossed for us all that are waiting or have had BFN this month! We got this! 💪

Purple29 · 23/10/2022 23:29

@thelma57 not too bad, not expecting anything this cycle as DH was away with work over my FW, think I'll have ov'd on cd13 and we only managed cds 9 and 14.
I'm now 8dpo and no symptoms, but then I'm not really thinking about it this time, AF probs due around sat/Sun, so onto next cycle.
I did speak to my gp about having possible polyps and I'm getting referred for a scan and getting bloods done this weeks so hopefully we find out some more!!!

ScaredSally · 23/10/2022 09:16

Almost 3 months exactly after my little man was born sleeping I have my BFP... I'm honestly terrified, we weren't actively trying until we got our test results (due next month) ...I don't know how to tell my partner or how I feel... I don't want to plan a funeral for another child, coffins that small shouldn't excist

Sending hugs😣

Congratulations to @booksandtea9 and @shibeshibe 🥰 Hopefully this is turning into a good luck thread!

Thanks so much!

shibeshibe · 24/10/2022 08:41

Thanks so much for the messages lovelies and congrats to everyone else with their BFP 😊

Tested again this morning at 12dpo and still getting a faint line about the same....really hoping it darkens and sticks. AF due on Wednesday normally so time will tell!

kizzy97 · 24/10/2022 13:14

Well Thursday is test day! Bricking it tbh just don't really expect good news anymore tbh, so far had the odd niggle in my lower stomach and really wanting foods I craved whilst I was pregnant with DS, knowing my luck though it'll be all in my head 😅

TryTheNight · 24/10/2022 17:33

I'm still sick ever since the wedding I attended, so I'm just waiting until AF arrives to start over next month. Hopefully I'm healthy by then. This cold is kicking my butt.

I've been excited to see some BFPs from you all.

bubble55 · 24/10/2022 18:17

Periods due on Wednesday. I think I’m 11dpo today. Just can’t get excited as this is my 3rd pregnancy in 4 months now…so desperate for it to stick 🌈🤞🏼

Hoping for a BFP October/November
Purple29 · 24/10/2022 18:59

@bubble55 congratulations!! Hopefully a nice sticky bean and a healthy 9 months ahead. That's a really strong line for 11dpo too!!!

shibeshibe · 24/10/2022 19:46

Congratulations @bubble55 , that looks great! Totally understand where you are coming from feeling nervous about it though. Fingers and toes crossed for you xx
