Hi,

Currently trying for DC 2, already have a 2 year old DS.

I should have ovulated today 🤞🏻🤞🏻

Anyone else entering the TWW? Due AF 7th Jan but will probably end up testing a couple days before 😄

I hope this doesn’t come across as braggy in any way but just wanted to update to say I’m pregnant! Even with no symptoms, spotting today 14DPO and weird cramps in my uterus. I’ve had a blood test and done a pee stick. It’s early days and I’m still worried about something going wrong or something! But just wanted to give some hope to those that don’t have a typical TWW that it doesn’t necessarily mean you’re negative. And I’ve had failed cycles before, totally convinced myself I was infertile and I’m clearly not! Fingers crossed for you x

LAgeDeRaisin · 29/12/2022 19:49

@Alysskea not braggy at all, congratulations!!! I thought you said you'd tested negative today?! What made you decide to do another urine test and a blood test?

Pitstop1986 · 29/12/2022 19:50

@Alysskea congratulations! That's fantastic news! I'm so happy for you xxx

Thank you! I had booked the blood test in advance as I’m under a fertility clinic. So I went along to it with a heavy heart 100% sure it would be negative but as it was booked I thought I may as well. Then they rang to say it came back positive so I took another urine one as well! Total shock haha

LAgeDeRaisin · 29/12/2022 21:15

That's amazing!!! So exciting - will it be your 1st?

Downtherabbithole83 · 29/12/2022 21:33

@Alysskea congratulations and definitely not braggy at all!

A postive is always fantastic news and so kind of you to share and give hope to all of us in the tww, even if we’re not having the typical symptoms!

Alysskea · 29/12/2022 21:35

Yes this is my first time - don’t even know anyone who has been pregnant so it’s all new haha!

I am really keeping my fingers crossed for all of you who deserve your BFPs!

Congratulations @Alysskea that's lovely news!!
I'm 6dpo today, no more spotting. Boobs are still sore. May do a IC in the morning even though it is way too early but it's driving me mad 🤣

Congratulations @Alysskea that’s such lovely news! Keep us updated 😊

MrsSprouse · 29/12/2022 23:45

@Alysskea CONGRATULATIONS! Wishing you a healthy and happy pregnancy x

10dpo here. Very period like cramping. Even though cramping and sore boobs were my earliest symptoms of my first pregnancy, I have a feeling I am not going to be lucky this time.

Pitstop1986 · 30/12/2022 13:36

5/6 dpo... Symptom spotting still.
My tea tasted like ass this morning and I felt a bit nauseous afterwards (although could just be DHs sub-par tea making abilities) and then I went to my circuit class and thought that I was going to faint! (This could be explained by the fact that I've missed quite a few classes recently and it's the first class after the indulgences of Christmas)

I hope everyone else is going a little bit crazy too and it's not just me! There's no way that I'd be experiencing any pregnancy symptoms so early, I'm just positive that I'm going to get my BFP in a week or so and letting my imagination get carried away! 😁🤞

LAgeDeRaisin · 30/12/2022 14:58

9DPO and another BFN on FRER for me 😭

MrsL22 · 30/12/2022 15:59

@Pitstop1986 I’m 5dpo too and doing anything to keep myself busy 😂

I have a strange feeling it’s not my month but I’m so desperate to try and keep positive!

@LAgeDeRaisin its still early days 9dpo - test again in a couple of day. Praying for you 🙏🏼

LAgeDeRaisin · 30/12/2022 16:54

Thanks @MrsL22
It's so disheartening

Pitstop1986 · 30/12/2022 19:19

Sending hugs @LAgeDeRaisin I know how disheartening the BFNs are. You're still very early on though, still time yet

ScotsBaby2 · 30/12/2022 19:39

I'm 8DPO. AF is due in 7 days. Testing meat to commence on 6th January. I don't think I'll manage to wait that long. That would be cycle day 36 it my cycles have been all over the place.

MrsL22 · 30/12/2022 19:49

@ScotsBaby2 do you have any early response tests? I’m 5dpo and already can’t wait to test - don’t know how you’ve managed to hold yourself back 🤣🤞🏼

ScotsBaby2 · 30/12/2022 19:52

Yeah I do but last cycle was 55 days long and I tested about 15 times 😂 so I need to hold off this time!!

Livingonhope · 30/12/2022 20:01

That's me out of the game as of today .....now the wait to next month 😫

MrsL22 · 30/12/2022 20:12

@Livingonhope sorry to hear that! New year, new month, new possibilities. I believe 2023 will be your year 💕

@ScotsBaby2 I feel your pain. I’ve just bought a box of 30 cheapies for this reason. I also have a cupboard full of FRER and CB early - just can’t help myself 😂🙈

ScotsBaby2 · 30/12/2022 20:20

I have 4 IC and about 3 million FRER as I put them on spend and save on Amazon then forgot to cancel.

MrsL22 · 30/12/2022 20:22

@ScotsBaby2 😂 well at least you’ve got plenty to get a reliable test!

Downtherabbithole83 · 30/12/2022 20:41

@MrsL22 I’m also 5dpo (possibly 6… depending on how quickly I ovulated after my peak) and have done exactly the same as you: big box of cheapies ready for when I can’t hold out anymore and give in to the need to test early!

How long do you think you’ll manage to wait?
