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?

Forgot I had Internet cheapies in the house, so did one of those and an OPK. Clear as mud 🙃🤣🙈
I'm even more convinced AF is around the corner now!

10dpo and BFN this morning. Perhaps a little early to test but 32 days is the longest cycle I have had since stopping the pill in Feb. Normally 28/29 days but last month it was 32. And today is 32days. Fingers crossed AF doesn’t show today! 🤞🏻

@CR7 strange how covid and the booster has changed women’s cycles.
@peaky297 is it worth testing with A cheapie with your fmu?
@LS888 fingers crossed it’s just a tad early to test for you and AF isn’t coming.
I’ve had a bit more pink/brown when I wiped this morning.

peaky297 · 23/11/2022 07:51

Morning everyone! How are we all?

@GemLou88 - so the plot thickens! I did a cheapie with FMU and have the world's faintest line - so faint, that I'm not sure it's even a line! A clear blue test did me dirty with an evap line a few weeks ago so I'm sceptical.
Pic below - I've had to filter it as it is so faint - can you see it? Or have I completely lost my marbles!?.🙈🤣
Incidentally, the opk was still blazing positive too 🤷‍♀️😵‍💫

@peaky297 i can definitely see a faint line! Are they sensitive tests? Test again tomorrow. Fingers crossed you will get a darker line 🤞🏻🤞🏻

peaky297 · 23/11/2022 08:20

@GemLou88 my husband can't see it and now I don't know if it's faded away 😵‍💫🙈
How you doing today?

nadsc · 23/11/2022 08:26

@peaky297 I see the line! Tbh I did think I saw a faint line on your test last night. Fingers crossed!!

GemLou88 · 23/11/2022 08:38

@peaky297 @nadsc i thought the same about last nights test, but wasn’t sure if it was because it was next to the positive OPK. Have you got enough cheapies to try this evening?
I’m ok, just ill at the moment. Some stomach cramps and still a bit of pink/brown when I wipe 🤷‍♀️

May94x · 23/11/2022 09:01

@peaky297 I can see a line!! I don’t think those cheapy tests tend to get evap lines?? I’d test again in 48 hours and you should see the line get darker. Fingers crossed 🤞

peaky297 · 23/11/2022 09:03

Hmm... I couldn't see it in person but looking at the pic I see what you both mean. Omg girls... could it be!? I'm too scared to be excited about it yet 🙈🤣 I have more cheapies here yes and some frers coming today at some point (good old amazon!) ... Will keep you posted!

Light spotting may be a good sign y'know. Do you usually spot before AF? X

OP posts:
GemLou88 · 23/11/2022 09:44

@peaky297 definitely keep us posted. Everything crossed for you.
no spotting before that I can remember. But before ttc my son I didn’t really take much notice. And when I conceived him and when I had the mmc I caught first months both times. Who knows. I don’t know if it’s a positive thing or not. I’ve taken an OPK test today and it’s decreased to low again. I’m not going to take anymore of them and just have to wait and see what happens

Alysskea · 23/11/2022 11:21

Has anyone who has done this before had little crampy feelings in the lower tummy at 4/5 DPO? Am I absolutely losing it?

GemLou88 · 23/11/2022 19:54

Hey @Alysskea could it be early implantation? How are you feeling now?

peaky297 · 23/11/2022 22:40

Evening all. Not tested again yet - just wanted an afternoon not thinking about it, so put it out of my mind as best I could.
Got a FRER ready for the morning 🤞
I do feel pretty crampy this eve mind which doesn't fill me with confidence 🙈

Could indeed be early implantation cramping -.its hard to know. If you're anything like me you will notice every little twinge that ordinarily you might not. Wait a few days and see how things go x

OP posts:
Alysskea · 23/11/2022 22:53

Agree with you @peaky297 I am prob just
hyperfocusing! Doubt it’s implantation this early on.

glad you put it out of mind for a bit - I need to try and do this!!

peaky297 · 24/11/2022 06:39

@Alysskea - easier said than done isn't it! Ha

Still no AF and tested again this morning with a FRER... I think there's a line, but again it's so so faint to the point it may just be an indent or something. My BFP with my first was faint, but this is practically non-existent 🙈😵‍💫

Can anybody see it? I've filtered it a bit to allow the pic to pick it up!

@peaky297 i see it in the frer!!

nadsc · 24/11/2022 07:36

@peaky297 I see it too, you’ll have to update us again tonight/tomorrow morning xx

GemLou88 · 24/11/2022 08:34

@peaky297 i can see it too! How exciting. Did you test with a cheapie to to compare? Keep us updated. How you feeling?

Hopefulfor4 · 24/11/2022 09:09

@peaky297
I hope you don't mind me speaking up, I've been watching people progress. I can definitely see the line. I'm wary of very faint lines myself tho now as I've been caught out by indents or chemical pregnancy recently. Sorry to be negative Nancy but just guard your heart for a little while. X

peaky297 · 24/11/2022 09:42

Thanks everyone.
Only took the one - will do another either this eve or tomorrow. I feel okay thanks- apart from feeling a bit tired and burny nips! I've had the odd period where I've felt nauseous too. Otherwise I feel pretty much normal!

@hopeful - totally appreciate your comments and I have the same concerns. I am very nervous about it 😬. Sorry to hear that you've been having a hard time of it too!

All we can do now is wait 🙈😬

peaky297 · 25/11/2022 09:01

Hi Ladies! How are you all doing?
@gem any progress on the spotting?

Took another FRER this morning - think the line may be ever so slightly darker, so unlike yesterday's it's just about visible in a photo without filtering, but it is still vv faint 😕 (unfilteted pic below)

At this point I'm fairly convinced there is something there, however not convinced that it's here to stay as I'm now 4 days late and would expect darker lines by now 😞

I had a little stress about it all this morning, so promised my DH that I'll give the tests a break for a couple of days and let nature take its course. If no AF over the weekend will test again on Monday. Gonna be easier said than done 🙈

Hey@peaky297 it’s easy to stress out about this. But it’s positive there’s a line there. Try and relax and see what Mondays test says. Fingers crossed the line gets darker and this is your month! I don’t like FRER for this reason. It never gave me dark lines. The cheaper tests did when I took them at the same time. I’ll add a photo of when I was pregnant with my boy and tested at 10dpo.

For me the last spotting was Tuesday. Nothing since then. I should be about 4dpo today. Last night when I took my bra off my boobs felt heavy and sore. But I’m unwell at the moment and ache everywhere. Being unwell could be why I’m really tired too. So no point double guessing my symptoms at the moment.

peaky297 · 25/11/2022 10:30

@GemLou88 sorry to hear you're not well - hope you feel better soon!
Hopefully this will be your month 🤞🤞🤞
Can you see the line? Now I'm not sure I can see it unfiltered - think I'm actually going loopy 🤣🤣

GemLou88 · 25/11/2022 11:08

@peaky297 thank you. Just so glad it’s Friday and can hopefully rest the weekend.
I can see a very faint line without zooming in, but if I zoom it in gets lost, it is probably easier to see in person than by photo. Think we all drive ourselves crazy and second guess. Horrible having to wait and find out.
