TTC baby no2. Dpo 4. Anyone else?

From this month on, we are trying for an other baby.

I know that it might take some time, but I have a strong feeling that it happened this month. I had a similar intuition with my first child - I just knew it. I'm afraid I'll be extremely disappointed if the result is negative.

I hope I'm not the only one who feels this way and I will get some support here. I feel lonely this time around- cant really talk to anyone about it except my husband (who is very relaxed and doesnt get that this is the only thing on my mind right now). Looking for some support here!

10dpo and bfn here. I got a vert strong bfp at 11dpo with ds so I expected maybe a faint line today. Feel a bit disheartened now and think I'm probably out. Congrats on the bfps in this thread I'm hoping your luck rubs off on us all lol x

TTCNoTWO · 14/10/2023 08:17

@FSGirl very similar symptoms but I always have the same, I had a pulling/niggling on the left side down there on Thursday and very emotional but other than that, nothing. When is your AF due? Mines not until Weds/Thurs so still hopeful xx

FSGirl · 14/10/2023 09:02

@TTCNoTWO yes definitely still cause to be hopeful!!
I’ll try not to read into the symptoms too much, I feel like I’m on high alert though!
my app says around Thursday for AF but that’s predicted so I think more likely next weekend.

FSGirl · 14/10/2023 09:03

@HRHXO how did you measure when you ovulated? Sorry if you’ve already mentioned that upthread.

HRHXO · 14/10/2023 11:44

@FSGirl just ovulation sticks but this was the first time I ever saw peak. I continued to use them up until 7dpo so make sure it dipped again as I think I previously used to ovulate super late in my cycle. I know OPKs could mean I didn't ovulate at all but that sounds worse than just mistimed DTD lol

FigandHoney · 14/10/2023 12:39

@FSGirl and @HRHXO Sorry about the BFNs. But still lots of time for a BFP. Hope AF stays away

So I now have a migraine. I always get these when AF is on her way. But I also had 3 days of migraine just before I got my BFP last time. So not a clear sign either way.
I keep checking for spotting. Hate panty watch stage.
Also having chills. So I might be getting sick. However this again was one of my very first symptoms with my son. Then again temperatures have massively dropped outside

@AC2023 So sorry AF came to visit. Hope the next cycle is the one you get your sticky bean

Thanks @AC2023 I have had a tiny bit of spotting. Which is always a precursor to AF.
Although I didn't have any implantation bleeding with my first pregnancy (at least not at this stage) I am still clutching on to hope (or more like straws). But think I am just kidding myself and AF will be here right on time tomorrow

@AC2023 No. It's only or second cycle trying for our second baby. And it took us a year and a half to fall pregnant with our son.
I keep telling myself to expect for it to take as long if not longer.
But still can't help but go banas the last few days of my cycle 🙈

TTCNoTWO · 15/10/2023 06:54

11dpo and bfn again :( sorry to hear those of you whose AF has shown up! I think I'll be joining you in a couple of days. Trying so hard not to be upset but it's hard! 😪

HRHXO · 15/10/2023 07:46

@TTCNoTWO 11dpo and bfn for me too. I feel like I'm out but af not due until Wednesday according to my apps. Probably won't bother testing again now until af is due or late. Its so disheartening isn't it?!

Catson · 15/10/2023 07:55

11dpo and a BFN here too @HRHXO @TTCNoTWO

TTCNoTWO · 15/10/2023 08:03

@HRHXO it really is! I'm due either Weds or Thurs but I'm pretty sure it would show up by now on an early detection!

@Catson when is AF due for you?

I hate this part between bfn and waiting for AF because I just want to get started again x

Catson · 15/10/2023 08:07

@TTCNoTWO Thursday according to my app, could be earlier or could be later though

starr24 · 15/10/2023 08:13

Hi everyone, sorry for jumping on but feel in a similar stage to some and struggling through the tww! Sorry for those with bfn on early tests, waiting for AF is frustrating. Mines due Thursday and I'm over thinking every sign/twinge/feeling! Trying to hold off testing if I can because it's just so disappointing!

FigandHoney · 15/10/2023 09:37

Sorry to everyone with a BFN this morning. But yoy aren't out until AF arrives. Especially if you still have until Wednesday or Thursday before she is due. Keeping my fingers crossed for you all.

So my bbt increased more this morning and my rhr is still high. So can't help but still hope.
But I am sure it's just my body teasing me and AF will arrive shortly.
I am still having on and off pale pink and pale brown spotting. And that's how it started last cycle

Katherina02837 · 15/10/2023 09:51

Sorry to hear about the BFNs!

@FigandHoney keep us updated! When your temperature usually drops before AF?

FSGirl · 15/10/2023 10:41

I’m the same, BFN on early detection this morning. App says period due between Thurs-Sun this week so I’m basically convincing myself I’m out this cycle.
I didn’t expect to feel so low about it but hey ho.

TTCNoTWO · 15/10/2023 13:14

Just had some spotting and now have cramps, could this be implantation? I'm 11dpo today and not due until Weds/Thurs. I'm normally like clockwork so I'm not sure why I'm so early if it's AF..

Catson · 15/10/2023 14:02

@TTCNoTWO it sounds like it could be implantation, will keep my fingers crossed for you

TTCNoTWO · 15/10/2023 14:04

@Catson thank you! I really hope so but it feels just like AF is coming. Nothing there apart from on the tissue at the min, but this is how AF can start for me.. haven't been early for a long time though so really not sure whats going on x

Catson · 15/10/2023 14:07

There's literally no distinguishing is there. I had implantation bleeding with my first and I thought it was the start of AF too
