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?

@peaky297 I’m good thanks lovely. I know it will happen eventually, and I rather know sooner rather than later if I’m out this cycle. And I’ve only been off the pill 2 months. Maybe my body just needs a little more time. Make sure your looking after yourself. Can be consuming and drive yourself crazy. I know I’ve done it too 😂

How is it going @GemLou88 ? And how about you @peaky297 ? I got my clearblue ultra early digitals, had a tiny bit more pinky discharge but only when I was having a root around up there 🤣 I don't think I'd have seen it make it to my underwear if I didn't look around!
I don't wanna take a CB incase it's negative 😭

GemLou88 · 05/01/2023 08:49

Hey @Trojancheese definitely AF for me. It’s heavier than I’m used to, but I’m guessing my body is still adapting to being off the pill. Hoping to be more relaxed about ttc this cycle. Think where I fell quickly with my Son and when I had a mmc I thought it would be quick this time. Don’t want to get stressed out with it all. How are you doing today? Really hoping it’s implantation for you 🤞🏻

Trojancheese · 05/01/2023 14:05

Isn't it weird how when we aren't trying it just happens and when we put in the effort it takes forever? I just don't get it!
I thought my af was starting today as it should be. I'm 14dpo, my LP is always 14 days from my + ovulation test. But all I've had is the odd bit of brown cm! May have also checked my cervix again and it was high and closed. Plus tmi here .. diarrhea 😩 I never get diarrhea, I have ibs and my norm is the other way!
But I fully expect it'll start later on tonight when I'm at work (sods law!! 😂) Or tomorrow.

Hi everyone!
I'm OK thanks - AF due today, but so far no sign of her (and I usually have some spotting before I properly come on too). Boobs still super sore and swollen and I am very scatty and forgetful today, but that may be tiredness.
I didn't test this morning as if it was negative it would have put me in a bad mood all day! If no period by Saturday morning I will try again.

@trojancheese - sounds very promising! Have you tested?

@gemlou88 - just typical isn't it! We will get there though ladies, I'm sure of it! X

Good luck peaky!! Do you really think it sounds promising? I've just seen NHS said if implantation bleed happens it usually does so around the time your period is due. Well that would be a first for me I've never had IB before. Its still weird I had the barely there spotting 2/3 days ago. My last one was a few days late but I didn't know when I ovulated. This time around I know when it happened so surely it should be here today or not at all by that logic?!
I hate waiting for it to start.

Trojancheese · 05/01/2023 18:56

So no bleeding. All I've had is bloody cm which I've only found by checking myself. I've had my silicone cup in all day and nothing!! If it's not here by tomorrow I might try my early digital. But I highly doubt it'll be positive

peaky297 · 05/01/2023 20:37

@Trojancheese definitely sounds positive if you ask me!
If AF is late now it should show, so I definitely think it's worth a bash tomorrow!
My AF is now officially late... if nothing tomorrow I plan to test Saturday morning! X

Ooh @peaky297 I've got everything crossed for you!! Flowers

GemLou88 · 05/01/2023 22:49

@peaky297 @Trojancheese it sounds so positive for both of you. Got everything crossed you both get your BFPs in the upcoming days xx

Morning girls! OK, so now I'm confused. Period a day late and felt a bit crampy in bed last night. Got up this morning, used a FRER and saw some brown when I wiped afterwards. Assumed game over and that AF is on her way, however I'm sure I see a faint line here? More than the shadow I was imagining before, but not sure it's in the right place? Do you see it? (I've added an original and slightly edited image) Could it be an evap? I am scared to hope and very confused!! 😫🙈

@GemLou88 thanks for confirming I'm not going mental! Haha I do feel like it's a bit far over to the left mind? I'm still lightly spotting brown when I wipe too. What a mind f#ck🙈🤣

OP posts:
GemLou88 · 06/01/2023 09:03

They do say that implantation bleeding happens around the time your period is due. So hopefully it’s just that. I’ll attach a photo of a faint positive I got on a FRER with my son, I don’t think your line is too far over. Got everything crossed for you

@GemLou88 omg I saw the pics before I read the message properly then and thought you'd had a crazy mid period suprise! 🙈🤣

Thanks for sending that, reassures me a bit. I regularly spot a bit before AF comes on fully, so I suppose we have a painfully slow wait now to see what my body does! 😫
Will keep you posted!

😂😂 unfortunately not. Yes keep us posted 🥰

Update from me ... despite the line this morning, my light brown spotting is now getting heavier and redder, so I think I'm out. Really thought this might have been the month, but it is not to be.

OP posts:
GemLou88 · 06/01/2023 15:21

@peaky297 oh no! I really thought this was it for you too. Sending Love ❤️

Thanks @GemLou88 .. oh well. Each time AF arrives it marks the start of a new cycle and a new chance to try 💕 I'm trying to focus on that!

How you getting on @peaky297?

peaky297 · 07/01/2023 22:34

The spotting has turned heavier and I've been pretty crampy today, so I am out!
Oh well... at least it means a new cycle and another chance to try again 🤞✨️
How are you all doing?

OP posts:
GemLou88 · 07/01/2023 23:00

Oh no @peaky297 so sorry to hear that. It all sounded so positive for you. It’s gutting and a mind fuck. Hope you’re ok.
I’m on CD4 and looks like AF is coming to an end. So I’ll be back to OPKs from tomorrow.
@Trojancheese how are you getting on?

monsteramunch · 07/01/2023 23:17

Oh god I'm sorry @peaky297 I was sure things were looking like a yes for you, I've got everything crossed that the next cycle will bring you better news Flowers

How you all doing ladies?
I am now coming towards the end of AF and gearing up for another cycle!
In some ways this time is lovely as I'm not stressing about anything and can just be for a week or so!

OP posts:
GemLou88 · 10/01/2023 13:13

Hey @peaky297 hope you’re doing ok! I’m on CD7, app is predicting O on CD20. But I think my cycles are still irregular from coming off the pill. So back to the OPK’s. Never BBT before, but just ordered myself the new Apple Watch that does it. Going to read up on it and if this month we don’t conceive I’ll start from next month.

This was shared on another group and I thought it was interesting and might help someone else out

it has a dpo statistic for getting a positive test if pregnant. I thought the age and fertility calculator interesting too
