Hey! I'm on my first month of TTC baby number 2!
I'm now approx 7dpo (I think!) And in the two week wait.
Anyone else?

I am 1DPO! I will wait with you 😊TTC #1 after a miscarriage in July at 11 weeks (measured 7 weeks). Keeping my fingers crossed for you too 🤞🏻

peaky297 · 14/11/2022 22:09

@LS888 so sorry to hear about your loss 💐 Let's hope that this time around everything will go to plan!
Are you using OPKs?

OP posts:
LS888 · 14/11/2022 22:17

@peaky297 I’ve used OPKs for the first time this month. Ovulation happened on day 22 according to the app I’m using (easy@home). So glad I started using them as I had assumed mid cycle day 15ish. Normally have a 29/30 day cycle and pretty regular. Last month I was about 5 days late. Not sure exactly when I am due AF now. App is predicting 27th November which would mean a 35 day cycle. We will see!!

Namechange192727171 · 14/11/2022 22:47

Can i join? I'm 4dpo and testing next week. Holding out for as long as possible so I'm not torturing myself with imaginary lines!

SkyBlue20 · 15/11/2022 05:20

👋🏼 9DPO here, first cycle trying for baby #2. Symptom spotting 24hrs a day 🤦🏻‍♀️ Not tracking ovulation other than going off physical symptoms but I’m pretty certain as to when it was - since having my little girl, my ovulation symptoms have become SO obvious, whereas before her I didn’t have a clue! Last few cycles have been 26, 26 and 24 days. I’m now on CD28 but not reading in to that too much as my cycle seems quite variable and also I had covid recently, which I believe can mess with your cycles. Going to test Sunday if no AF, which will be 14DPO. Fingers crossed for everyone! 🤞🏼

LS888 · 15/11/2022 07:14

Fingers crossed to everyone waiting! 🤞🏻 I think I may have a short LP. So I’m going to hold out until after AF is due if I can!

Saturnsmoon · 15/11/2022 07:38

Also dpo7, cycle 11 of ttc1 - this tww is really dragging. I have a shortish lp (never longer than 12 days) so AF due this Sunday. I haven’t allowed myself to get into early testing so will just have to wait and see. m I’m definitely symptom spotting but really don’t feel any different than normal 😉

LuckyStar511 · 15/11/2022 15:35

Also 7dpo here. I keep looking at my period tracker as if that is magically going to change how many days it is! 😂
Stupidly, I took a test today which was obviously a BFN. Definitely going to try really hard now to hold off until AF due on 23rd.
Fingers crossed for everyone!

Needtobuildabridge · 15/11/2022 16:10

6dpo today - I’d love to join. We’ve just begun trying for #1 and I’m not sure how we’re supposed to cope with this waiting business!

tttc2022 · 15/11/2022 16:21

Hi! Can I join please? 9dpo and TTC #2, this is our first cycle after a MMC a couple of months ago. I tested at 11dpo with my two pregnancies but going to try and hold out to Saturday when I'll be 13dpo. Feels like time is standing still!

May94x · 15/11/2022 16:26

Hi I’d like to join! I’m 8dpo. TTC #1 after a MMC at 12 weeks in August and a chemical last month.

Has anyone had any symptoms yet? I’ve had terrible lower back ache yesterday and today which I don’t normally get with AF. I had the same pain last month with my chemical so I’m terrified it’s going to happen again :( trying to hold off testing until the weekend but it so hard isn’t it!!

LuckyStar511 · 15/11/2022 19:51

Just this evening I’ve started with the lower back pain. But that could be from crawling/running around after a toddler all day. I’ve also had some very minor cramping too. Trying to ignore it though and not “symptom spot” as the mind is a very powerful thing! And I don’t want to get my hopes up.

peaky297 · 17/11/2022 10:09

@LuckyStar511 I know that feeling!
I took a first response test this morning as I feel absolutely knackered the last 2 days and a bit nauseous. BFN though, so don't know if it's all in my head 🙈
AF is due in a week, so I guess I'll gey my answer then!
How's everyone else doing?

Hi Ladies,

Can I join you please? I think I'm in my tww. Currently trying for baby number 2. I had a MMC before my Son. I stopped my pill in October, haven't had a withdrawal bleed or AF since. I think I had a peak on the 9th on my OPK. Been symptom spotting like mad.

Keeping my fingers crossed for you all

LuckyStar511 · 17/11/2022 12:35

@peaky297 I did a test this morning too! BFN still but only 9dpo so still trying to hold on to some hope. AF due in a week too so I think I’m just going to wait now. Not that I have the greatest self control! 🙈

peaky297 · 18/11/2022 14:13

@LuckyStar511 sounds like we are on a similar time line!
I feel.sicky and tired again today - if I'm not pregnant then I'm def ill. Managed to resist testing this morning, but already considering tomorrow morning 🙈

Welcome to all other new joiners! How are you all feeling?

OP posts:
GemLou88 · 18/11/2022 14:27

Hey!
I think I’m 8dpo today. Stupidly tested and obviously BFN. Last few days been having headaches, heartburn and cramps, last night lower back pain. But could all be AF on the way 🤷‍♀️Oh and some nausea on and off too.
I’ve still be using my OPK too and although they aren’t peak or strong. There is still quite a visible line there. Don’t know if they are meant to go completely no line or very faint line.
Hows everyone else doing?

May94x · 18/11/2022 17:33

I took a test this morning too 😅I’m 10/11 dpo. I thought I could see the faintest of faint lines, if I squinted enough 😂I think it was just an indent line though. I know a lot of people have been saying FRERs have been bad for them recently.

Still have a little bit of hope left but no more testing for me now until AF is due on Tuesday!

peaky297 · 18/11/2022 20:49

What are we like 🤣🙈 the faint line sounds positive though- that's how it started with my first!
Well I had another new development today- EWCM - lots of it, but I never usually have it at this point in my cycle only usually upon ovulation🤷‍♀️
I read its common in early pregnancy, so off I toddled to pee on yet another stick to have another BFN! 🙈 AF is due Tuesday next week so I'm determined to just be patient now 😅

OP posts:
GemLou88 · 18/11/2022 21:13

@May94x keep us updated. I never liked FRER tests. I never got an early positive with them when I was pregnant with my Son, but I did with baby plan and easy@home tests. Fingers crossed.

@peaky297 I’m having the same, EWCM or similar. Sometimes I feel so sure I’m pregnant but the tests aren’t agreeing. But I’ll test anyway 😂

Needtobuildabridge · 18/11/2022 21:31

I'm going to test tomorrow - which is 10dpo. Wish me luck!

May94x · 18/11/2022 21:43

@GemLou88 thats interesting about the FRERs not giving you an early positive! I only have cheapy tests left but don’t think I will bother buying any more FRERs.

@Needtobuildabridge Ahh good luck! Keep us updated 😊

GemLou88 · 18/11/2022 21:50

@May94x I’ve heard a few similar stories so I stick with the easy@home and have the clear blue digital for a bit later on. Maybe try with one of your cheap ones in the morning if they are sensitive ones. Fingers crossed

@Needtobuildabridge good luck. Fingers crossed for a BFP for you tomorrow

I think I’m out now. Just wiped some pink spotting and having stronger cramps now. Must be AF on her way to ruin my week

Sparkle98 · 18/11/2022 21:52

Hello!
Im on my 2nd month of trying to conceive my 3rd child. I’m only on cycle day 2 and wanted to join in with others trying to conceive too. Wondered if I could join :)

LuckyStar511 · 19/11/2022 15:14

Hope everyone is doing okay in the agonising TWW!!
AF due in the next 3-4 days so I’m trying really hard to not test!! 😅 Feel like I’m living through everyone else by just reading through loads of MN threads. Not sure if that’s the best thing to do though 🙈😂
