TTC #2

[NattyPeer]

Currently TTC number 2 and struggling after getting pregnant fairly easily with number 1 (on cycle 3)!
Thought I'd start a thread so we can all support each other. Anyone else on their TTC journey for number 2? I am currently on cycle 7 and have ruled myself out already as negative pregnancy test at 10DPO. Each month I convince myself that I am pregnant! Experienced a chemical at cycle 3 😩

I caved because the tests I used this morning were from Morrisons and one of them didn't even work properly... are these what I think they are?

@beansread they definitely look positive!!! Congratulations ☺️

How are you doing @SkaterChick did AF arrive?

And how are you @NattyPeer are you holding off a few more days before testing?

@beansread !!! That looks very very promising !!!
I was quietly hopeful for you because your initial 6dpo test was more sensitive than the later clear blue you did.
I find I get darker lines later in the day so could try holding and testing again this afternoon/ evening? Or wait to do a digital maybe. Super excited for you!

@LemonBitter heyyy! How are you??? I did cave and tested and was very much negative! So will be on to the next month!

Who is going to be with me for the August TTC? 😩🤣

@beansread ooo congratulations!!

@LemonBitter no visit from AF but negative test this morning 🤷🏼 10dpo & cd 26

@NattyPeer ah shit, you're quite early still though no? Are you feeling any AF symptoms? Not over til she comes ☺️

@SkaterChick you're not out yet!!!

Ahhhh thanks.
I hope it sticks, a baby is so wanted.

I'm going to hold off now, my mums a midwife and although pleased she's very much concerned about me getting head of myself.

I'm going to wait until Sunday and do a clear blue and just see!

@LemonBitter trying to tell myself that 😅 I feel nauseous and bloated and cramps on and off but they don't feel like my regular period pains
I'm to make myself wait till Friday to test again instead of wasting tests 😅😂

Ahhh keeping everything crossed @SkaterChick - Friday sounds sensible. I have spent a ridiculous amount on tests - could you get some of the easy @ home ones from Amazon? They are way cheaper than boots / clear blue etc...

@LemonBitter I scored a bargain and got 10 for £4 off FB market yesterday 😅 I have 8 left hahaha

@SkaterChick that's amazing! Never thought to look on marketplace for tests!

@LemonBitter she said she has loads so if AF shows up I'm going to see if she has any left 😅😂

@LemonBitter 9dpo but I think my cycle is now messed up and think my period will come very soon! How are you doing hun?

@beansread keeping my fingers crossed for you! Looking positive!!!

@NattyPeer I guess it might take a cycle or two to settle down.. really hoping for positive news for you soon. Chemicals are so cruel 😔

I'm all good thanks lovely, too early to do anything so literally just waiting around trying not to panic every time I go to the loo 🤦🏼‍♀️ Flo makes me 5 weeks and a day but I know I ovulated late so think I'm nearer 4.. seems a bit early to get excited 😬

How's everyone's day been?

Still no period. I dont even feel like its imminent anymore but that much just be in my head 😂😂😂
Trying to decide whether to retest in the morning or wait till Friday....

I’m 9dpo today I think! What dpo did you get your positive?

I am glad you are ok, i know it is an anxious time but i feel good things in my bones for you and you so deserve it!

@SkaterChick all ok here thanks, had a day off today, went shopping then had my daughters sports day so that was nice haha! Are you ok?!

how many dpo are you now?

I think you're a day behind me and at 10dpo right?

I am 11, faint positive this morning and barely anything at lunch time (don't know why I tested, I'm low key obsessed I think).

Maybe as you're late, you could give it a go if you're comfortable testing?

10dpo today.
I'll probs end up testing again again in the morning if no AF 🤣

@NattyPeer if when I think I ovulated is right then not til 12 or 13 DPO.. that absolute squinter was at 10 or 11!

@SkaterChick I would test tomorrow for sure!!

@beansread it's still early to get positives not on FMU ❤️

Still no period, still a BFN... not even a sniff of a faint line 😅
I have some cramps this morning, but nothing like my usual period cramps.
I'm nauseous and coffee if turning my stomach this morning which happened with my first so I'm hoping that's a positive sign!!

I guess all you can do is wait @SkaterChick but you're certainly not out ☺️
