Looking for TWW buddies....

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 think I may have had yet another chemical this month. Is this common to have? I got the faintest line around 11 dpo but the next day was negative. Period was 2 days late and its heavy. The month I'm sure I had a chemical before my period was heavy then as well. Obviously I can't be fully sure (and hate myself for testing early again) but it's beginning to worry me that there's something wrong. I had zero issues that I'm aware of with chemicals etc when ttc DD although after having several negative tests back then I just stopped testing which is my aim going forward.
Seen more pregnancy announcements the past few days for people having their seconds children and it stung. I am so grateful for my DD but the heart wants what it wants and that's a bigger family. Ugh why do some people just get pregnant on the first try while the rest of us have to go through this crap!

@Angelselevenx how's it going? Still spotting?
@Stilltobeseen I'm so sorry to hear that - hope you're ok 😢💐 I think they are pretty common - perhaps hold off testing until your period is late? Ignorance is bliss and all that?

I'm having a very strange month - currently 8dpo. Extremely tired, cramps and lots of CM (mainly watery / creamy stuff) but yesterday had some EWCM thrown in there which threw me. Also have tingly nipples and headaches on and off. Did a test this morning which was stupid as it's so so early, but I couldn't resist. I think there's a shadow, DH can't see anything though. Thoughts please? X

I definitely see something @peaky297 hard to tell from the pic but a few more days will confirm either way! Best of luck. DH and I agreed to take a break from 'trying' as such. We'll not be preventing but I'm putting the tests of all kinds away and just trying to let nature take its course for a few months. I feel like I'm missing valuable moments in my life being so consumed by ttc. I need to do this for my DD and for me and DH. I'm driving myself round the bend.

@peaky297 AF is in full flow, excited to try again next month as I’ve just bought the Natural Cycles thermometer and subscribed to their app. Also signed up to Vitl to get the right vitamins for conception!

I also definitely see something!! Test tomorrow with FMU? Keep us updated! X

@Angelselevenx really sorry to hear, but at least you know now and it sounds like you have a good plan for next month! Let us know what the natural cycles thing is like - never tried BBT but that may be my next port of call if no joy this month!

Glad some other people can see it - can never be 100% sure that I'm not going mental at this point 😅🙈 would like to say I'll wait a couple of days now, but I doubt that will happen!

Also @Stilltobeseen that sounds sensible - TTC is so hard on our mental health isn't it. But, perhaps with a break from the pressure it'll happen x

Morning everyone! How are we?

Update from me - did another test this morning (yes I know...🙈😂)
There is a line again which I think is darker than yesterdays (DH can just about see it today and I haven't needed to edit the photo to see it on camera) - what do you think???

9dpo today and due AF Sunday. Symptoms wise, cramps on and off and boobs sore (nipples have intermittent tingling / burning), tired.

&@peaky297 I will do! I’ve just started using it this morning whilst AF is still here to try get to grips with it ahead of my fertile few days 🤞🏼.

I think I can see a really faint line but it’s so difficult to pick them up on photos! Hopefully a darker line tomorrow for you.

Just had the strangest experience- went out on my lunch break for a walk - was feeling a bit hungry but not ravenous. As I was walking around I started to feel really shaky and queasy, my hands physically shook. I've had something to eat now which has helped and I'm no longer shaky, but I still feel queasy!
Anyone experienced anything similar? X

Hi everyone, how are we all? So I'm not tracking/doing LH strips but pretty confident I'm having ovulation cramps today (rarely get these but have on occasion) we DTD last night but my DH has woken up with a rotten cold so don't think we'll be DTD today.y app predicts O tomorrow. I'm worried I'll miss my window if we don't do it today. Anyone have O cramps and know if they o after them/before etc?

Don't know if anyone is still on this thread but I finally got my BFP the other day. I'm in absolute shock as I have been in hospital and needed IV antibiotics etc so was sure even if we DTD at the right time prior it was a long shot for it to work. But here we are and I hope to god it sticks and all goes well! Just wanted to wish you all the best of luck on your BFP journey if you're still waiting.

@Stilltobeseen thats fantastic news. Congratulations!! I’m so pleased for you. Fingers crossed you have a sticky baby and a happy and healthy pregnancy x

@Stilltobeseen congratulations!!

I tested this morning (and every pee since 🤣) and had a vvfl, 10dpo today x

@GemLou88 how are you doing? I can't find the thread we were talking on previously! X

@Angelselevenx congratulations!! Fingers crossed for you!

@Stilltobeseen huge congratulations!! Lovely news - all the best for a happy and healthy pregnancy xx

@Stilltobeseen struggling to get good photos but I've got my BFP 😭🤍 top one was 11dpo and bottom 12DPO.

Aw massive congratulations@Angelselevenx so exciting!! Is this your first baby?

@Stilltobeseen thank you 🥹, I've already said it but congratulations to you too! Yes it is, is it yours? X

@Angelselevenx it's my second so my body is already in overdrive having done it before 🤣 best of luck!

Hi everyone!

Long time no speak - how are you all?

@Stilltobeseen and @GemLou88 how you doing? And how is pregnancy going @Angelselevenx

I took some time off TTC as I was driving myself mad. This month was our first month back trying and I've finally got my bfp! Still fairly faint, but 100% there on all tests. Going to try a digital tomorrow 🙏

Congratulations @peaky297 what lovely news! When would your due date be?
I'm 18weeks pregnant now with a little boy! We have a girl already so excited to see what having a little boy is like 🥰
First trimester was a sick fest but seem to be doing OK for the most part now.

Congratulations @peaky297 that’s fantastic news. So pleased for you. Keep us up to date with your digital xx

@Angelselevenx I can’t believe I missed your BFP! Big fat congratulations to you. How you doing? Xx

@peaky297 I’ve decided to take a break for a bit. I’m driving myself crazy and getting stressed out each month. And then really disappointed, so I’m having a break off and trying not to think about it xx

@GemLou88 sounds like a really sensible decision - I was in the exact same spot and it's not a nice place to be. I definitely felt relieved for not thinking about it all for a while, so hope you can get some peace from a break too ♥️

@Stilltobeseen wow you are flying through! One of each - lovely! Glad the sickness has settled down! Mine will be due in early march - spring babe 🥰 yours ? Xmas time? X
