Hi all! As the title suggests, I have set this up as a space for those of us who are TTC and in that long wait between ovulation and when AF is due!
So, to kick us off... I have been TTC #2 since November. Had one chemical in that time and now well into the TWW with AF due on Tuesday! After spending a lot of money on early tests / having the disappointment of a chemical I am now avoiding early testing and will instead wait until AF is late, but zero judgement on anyone who likes to test early - I totally get the urge!

Look forward to hearing from others who are also on their TTC journey!

Morning ladies

Bad news from this end I'm afraid - bleeding and cramping came on heavily overnight and I am definitely losing it.

Obviously absolutely gutted, but in some ways relieved to have an answer. Onwards!

Think I’m out ladies! Period is due Monday and I have just had some bright red spotting 😩

BabyShackDoo · 05/07/2023 09:01

Sending love @peaky297 ❤️

sashastuck · 06/07/2023 18:36

@peaky297 so so sorry. Sending loads of love. Next cycle if you’re ready, they say you are more fertile after a chemical. But take your time and look after yourself xx

Abs014 · 07/07/2023 06:38

11DPO today. Was convinced I’m out but…

Still won’t believe it till AF doesn’t show up on Monday and will retest over the weekend! Feeling super nervous and praying it sticks!

Oh wow Abs! Let us know how you get on, how exciting x

peaky297 · 04/08/2023 10:22

Hi everyone one! How are you all doing?

@Abs014 - congratulations- I hope things are progressing well?

@GemLou88 how are you lovely?

I am now in the TWW after my chemical last month - nervously going to start testing in a couple of days!

Hey @peaky297 how are you? How many DPO are you? I’m still on the ttc train. Having a really shitty long cycle where a few times now I thought I was in the tww but I haven’t been. But last night I got a blazing peak on an OPK so I’m hoping this is actually ovulation on CD48!!

peaky297 · 06/08/2023 08:46

Hi @GemLou88 - long cycles are the worst, but a strong positive opk is a great sign!! I think the clear blue tests (although horribly expensive) were the game changer for us - after days and days of flashing smileys, I persevered with them until I got a solid smiley and realised I was ovulating at least a week after I thought! Realised that all of our effort in previous months was made too soon (and we had no energy left to get busy when we should have) 😂

I'm now 10/11 dpo and tested this morning because I've felt a bit off (and because I am impatient!) ... pleased to say I had a faint line on two tests, so it seems that I am pregnant again. Afraid to get too excited after the loss last month, but cautiously optimistic and keeping everything crossed 🤞

Definitely good lines @peaky297 tentative congratulations! Keep posting your line progression here, really hoping this is a sticky baby for you xx

BabyShackDoo · 06/08/2023 15:01

really good that you got a strong opk @GemLou88 ! I agree with Peaky, the clearblue ones were a game changer for me as well.
Oh @peaky297 I have everything crossed for you. Please keep us posted!!!

peaky297 · 07/08/2023 10:30

Thanks @BabyShackDoo - how you doing now?

So after last month I'm a little paranoid to say the least, so did another this morning to track line progression.
Does todays look darker to you? Yesterday was 10dpo FMU, todays is 11dpo SMU

@peaky297 @BabyShackDoo I have got the clear blue ones. Was trying to take a relaxed approach this cycle but that didn’t happen 😆 O has been confirmed on my FF app so I’m 3dpo.

@peaky297 from your pics I’d says it’s definitely darker xx

sashastuck · 07/08/2023 15:14

@peaky297 absolutely does look darker, congratulations!!

@GemLou88 best of luck for this cycle xx

BabyShackDoo · 08/08/2023 07:04

@peaky297 yep, definitely looks darker to me. @GemLou88 good luck for this cycle!
I’m doing OK, I’m 12 weeks now. I has scans at 6 weeks, 8 weeks and 10 weeks. I’m due a scan now with the NHS but they said I’m 12 weeks w/c the 14th? I couldn’t go this week anyway as we are on holiday. My little girl was 3 yesterday so we went to Peppa Pig World. We are there again today, on Wed we’ll find a zoo or something and then on Thurs we go to Legoland in Windsor. I cannot wait to go home, ha ha! I really want the 12 week scan as well so I know all is OK. I have worried all the time, hence all the scans.

sashastuck · 08/08/2023 13:53

@BabyShackDoo I was/am exactly the same. Had scans at 8, 10, 12(13, NHS), 14 and 16 weeks 🤣 this wait for my 20 week scan has been the longest! Glad you’re okay x

Ewills28 · 30/08/2023 14:57

Hi all,
Please can I join this group? Trying to conceive and just need somewhere to voice my worries etc.
i had my implant taken out in November 22 but have only started to monitor ovulation etc this month. So far, I don’t feel any different. Don’t feel like it’s happened for us this months.

Bex4567 · 31/08/2023 09:09

Hi guys jumping on this group aswrll if possible.read all your posts and congrats to everyone who got there bbp.

I'm currently on first cycle trying we had sex every day during fertile window.currently 6po I think..your mind is a powerful think I swear I feel diff,fuller down below,sore boobs spots on ny face I don't get until period is due.

Driving myself made symptom spotting.its so hard to not get carried away and test.although I'm well aware I'm 37 and this is my 1st cycle.
On 2ww so torture at mo lol

Ewills28 · 31/08/2023 13:02

@Bex4567 we’re exactly the same dates! We did the same thing too. I don’t really feel any different so I’m not confident at all! But today I do have a strange taste in my mouth?? Fingers crossed for us!

Bex4567 · 31/08/2023 14:26

Hi..Nice to see someone is at the same stage as me..the odd taste is a good sign for sure.

My boobs have been a bit sore last few days and I've had lower back pain ect
But alot of people threads have said 6po is to early to have symptoms so I don't no.
It's driving me made 😢when do you think you might test

Bex4567 · 03/09/2023 23:19

Hi just wandered how things were

Ewills28 · 04/09/2023 18:58

No news really! Boobs are still tender but that’s about it. Period due today and no sign as of yet. I’ll wait a few more days before testing though. How about you? X
