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?

How are you finding BBT? Is it a lot of hassle? I've never tried it, but would be tempted to give it a bash!

I do usually spot before I come on unfortunately, however I usually get brownish spotting before it turns red but this time it was just light pink and has stopped again, so we shall see! Feeling some cramping now too, so I strongly suspect the witch is on her way!

@peaky297 it’s been ok so far. But my 2yo still doesn’t sleep through then night so sometimes can be tricky to make sure I’ve had enough sleep to get a true reading. I think I need to read up more on what I’m looking out for.
Ive got such a lower back ache now which last month came on a day before AF arrived. But loads of CM which is new

GemLou88 · 06/02/2023 21:24

OH convinced me to do a test tonight. But think I got an indent

Now those tests did me dirty the end of last year with an indent, buuuuut that line looks wider than my indent line and seems to have a bit more to it.

I'd say it's def a possible positive - test again with fmu tomorrow and let us know how you get on!! Good luck 🤞

@GemLou88 for reference, my indent below - the line is thinner than yours x

Thanks @peaky297! I’ve got a couple of FRER tests, might do one in the morning. If not I’ll wait until Friday when AF is due. Not getting my hopes up though

GemLou88 · 07/02/2023 06:30

BFN for me this morning. Think I’m going to hold out testing now until Friday when AF is due

peaky297 · 07/02/2023 06:46

Aww sorry to hear @GemLou88 - was it a frer?

Hi there, 15 dpo and cd 29. Took a fmu test but forgot about and left it 20 min. Do you think it’s positive or an evap? :(

Looking for TWW buddies....
peaky297 · 07/02/2023 11:15

@Tryingforalovebaby I would test again - those clear blue tests are terrible for Evap lines as the posts below show. Try again with another brand - good luck!

OP posts:
GemLou88 · 07/02/2023 12:10

@peaky297 yes with a FRER. I’m having more symptoms today, dizzy and headaches, feeling sick too with a blocked nose. Could just be stress though! How you doing? Any sign of the witch?

@Tryingforalovebaby does look like it’s got colour to it, but I think it’s quite common to have some indents and evap lines on these tests. Everything crossed for you

GemLou88 · 07/02/2023 19:49

So after my symptoms progressed throughout today with dizziness, being sick and lower back ache, I did an easy@home test when I got home from work. Can anyone see a shadow of a line? Came up within 3 minutes and has more colour in real life 🤞🏻

I 100% see a shadow - I'd go again with a frer first thing to confirm. Crossing my fingers for you! @GemLou88

I'm still in limbo - had some pink bleeding on my tissue when I wiped yesterday lunch time - thought AF was on the way. All I've had since is intermittent very faint brown when I wipe and AF is now a day late. There's been a bit more brown when I've wiped this eve and odd cramping - more like pings than the usual widespread dull ache.

I didn't have implantation bleeding or cramps with my first - anyone have any experience of this ?

OP posts:
GemLou88 · 07/02/2023 20:47

@peaky297 I’ll do another test in the morning and see. But I’m having some strong cramping at the moment.
I’ve had 2 pregnancies and implantation bleeding once. But it was literally a bit of pink once when I wiped. My friend is due her baby in 2 weeks and bled still for the first 6 weeks of her pregnancy. I know that’s not much help but it doesn’t mean you’re out x

peaky297 · 07/02/2023 22:42

Best of luck @GemLou88 !!!
Well I think I'm out - spotting becoming heavier and I'm having some significant cramps now so I think the witch is here on her broomstick 🙈
Feeling really dejected, especially as a friend (who only started trying last month) has found out she is pregnant. Over the moon for her, but it made it hit home for me how sad I am that it's not yet happened for us. Buuuut as I say every month, cd1 brings a chance to try again! 🤞

peaky297 · 08/02/2023 08:52

@GemLou88 any news? X

OP posts:
GemLou88 · 08/02/2023 09:14

I was too tired this morning and forgot to test 🤦‍♀️ little one up sick in the night. Might test this evening. Any update for you @peaky297

peaky297 · 08/02/2023 10:34

Aww hope you're little one is ok! 🤞for later! @GemLou88

@Tryingforalovebaby how you getting on?

My emotional rollercoaster ride continues - bit more pink bleeding when I wiped last night and had some cramping and thought AF had arrived and expected to wake up to full flow this morning ... but didn't. Now I either have nothing or the odd bit of brown when wiping 🤷‍♀️
Soooo I did a test, and once again it's the curse of the faint line 🤪 see attached x

@peaky297 definitely a good faint line there!! Fingers crossed for you. Are you testing again tomorrow? X

peaky297 · 08/02/2023 17:53

@GemLou88 I started bleeding more heavily this afternoon, so the witch has arrived. Gotta be honest, I am gutted!
Fresh focus going into this month now ... bought the clear blue smiley ovulation thing so I can stop guessing and hopefully that will help!

Any update for you? Did you test this eve? X

GemLou88 · 08/02/2023 19:08

Oh @peaky297 im so sorry. How frustrating! Hope you’re ok x
BFN over here. I’m 12dpo and thinking if I was pregnant it would show by now so don’t think this is our month

GemLou88 · 09/02/2023 07:13

AF just arrived a day early. Will be joining you on the next cycle @peaky297

Stilltobeseen · 09/02/2023 10:26

Sorry @GemLou88 I really thought this was your month! Onto the next.

GemLou88 · 09/02/2023 21:01

Thanks @Stilltobeseen me too! So frustrating, but a nice glass of wine tonight and onto the next cycle. How are you getting on?
