Thank you @Sunshine924 @woodpeckersounds 😘and congrats to you too cycle twin @Sunshine924 ! This is my first except a CP so no idea what is normal or what to expect. I have back ache now and had some spotting so slightly nervous but hoping it's a good sign?

Spotting is completely normal. I'd only be concerned if it gets heavier and more period like. I'd say back ache is normal too, everything is stretching and hormones etc. It's worrying but try and stay positive 😊 xx

@MakeMeJuno I've got bad cramping today which is making me worried. It's like what I get before period arrives. I keep rushing to the toilet to check I'm not bleeding 😖

Yay fingers crossed for you 🤞 ❤️

Hi everyone. Would love to join this thread. I’m TTC #2 after getting pregnant with my first very easily - literally had the implant out and fell pregnant before AF even returned. I feel it’s given me a completely false sense of what TTC is like! 😱

Came off the implant in Dec, used OPKs for the first time this cycle. No idea if I did them right but tried to time DTD this time around! I think I’m roughly 3DPO - any suggestions when to start testing or is it better to just wait and see if AF shows …? I can already feel this starting to consume me 🤦‍♀️ any tips for staying sane?

Welp looks like AF has arrived though still very light but dark in colour.

This has been my first month of trying and this week has been a total mindfuck as I’ve waited for it to show!

Oh no, I'm so sorry 😩 I'm waiting for this to happen to me too. If it's light spotting then still might not be AF. I'll keep my fingers crossed for you! Xx

Ha, I'm 9dpo and took a couple of Boots tests earlier today. I really wish I'd waited until tomorrow as I've been photographing and staring at the sodding things all evening. Pretty sure they're indents (especially as the first one I POAS rather than dipped and got the window 🤦‍♀️). Hopefully more answers tomorrow...

I can definitely see lines on them! Have you taken any more this morning? Xx

I'm soooooo impatient today!! I'm only between 5-7dpo. Hate the waiting!!

@curliegirlie 🤞🏻
@marshybeans have you tested or are you holding out?

@OliveBee2 hey I'm in the TWW too. I also wish I could wait until AF to test but I always end up testing as soon as I can 🙈🙈

@Sunshine924 I hate the feeling! After having losses, this will be me if I ever get a BFP. I'll be paranoid at every toilet break 😭

Just went to the loo and my tissue was light pink after wiping. Feeling crampy now so definitely think AF is starting! I'm actually in good spirits still though. It's only our first month trying and we have a weekend away booked in March, so it will be nice to enjoy that with a few drinks! We'll see what comes from today, and also what happens next cycle! I was kind of looking forward to an early November baby, as that's when both mine and my mums birthdays are, but we get what we're given and what will be will be! Good luck to the rest of you still waiting to test 🤞🏼 xx

Yes, and another very faint line. I'm only 10dpo so I'm aware I'm soooo early. I don't want to get too excited as I'm 42 so I know how high the risk of CPs and MC is, but the timing of this having happened almost 3 years to the day of the pregnancy that I miscarried is beautiful. I just have to sit tight for the next few days...

No I haven’t tested, I am 99% sure that it’s period.
It’s still quite light but looks like my last two periods which were also light. I’ve only been off the pill since December and only been trying this month so it’s difficult to know what is regular and normal for me at this stage.

This month has certainly been interesting as I have had to look for symptoms and learn the new lingo! Haha

@woodpeckersounds I am hoping for early November too 😂 . But hey ho we shall see! ❤️

@curliegirlie will this be your rainbow? Fingers crossed for you!

@marshybeans it's a whole new language isn't it 😂

@rhirhibumblebee I'll keep my fingers crossed for you!! Xx

Hi all wanting to join in been trying for 4 years nearly. Had many losses and a blighted ovum in October. Been trying since still. Just praying for a rainbow. X
congrats on all them positives above. 13dpo for me. Stark white but all the signs annoyingly this month which only ever got when concieved. So have to wait for AF whose due date was yesterday.

@woodpeckersounds yes, I have 2 DDs aged 6 and 9. I had a surprise pregnancy and early MC in March 2022 and have been trying ever since. A touch concerned as I don't really know how onboard DH is, but I'll cross that bridge if I get to it...

Aw lovely! I have DS12 and DD8 😊 a bit nervous to be going back to the baby stage, but I'm looking forward to it at the same time! Well in fact, the baby stage is not my main concern, it's the toddler era that concerns me more 🤣🤣
I'm sorry about your losses, that must have been really hard. Especially as it's taking a while ttc now. I really hope 2025 is your year!
With all due respect, if your DH is willingly having unprotected sex with you, then he can't be as not on board with it as you think! I hope it all works out for you xx

So I'm confused now, been to the toilet again and absolutely nothing when I wipe?! Cramping has disappeared too. Still going to wait it out to test, but I'm not happy with my body playing tricks on me! Xx

@curliegirlie @woodpeckersounds have DS 11, DS 7 and DS 4. My hubby is definitely on and off on board 🙈. It would absolutely be the last though it is just something in me just isn't ready to not do it all again 😬. After DS number 3 I swore blind we wouldn't try again! We had two losses before we conceived last time so I'm not overly hopeful

AF arrived this morning sadly, so off to the March thread 😢 good luck to everyone else waiting to find out this month!

Hey all, jumping on as month 1 ttc #3. I have 2 girls aged 2 and 4. Due to illness in the house we were late to try, too late I thought, but I’ve literally had an onslaught of symptoms since the day after conception! Have caved and taken a couple of tests, all negative so far but with my girls I only tested a few days after my missed period so I’m conscious I have no evidence that I would get positives before this! So holding out til Monday…

@toomuchteaandcake how many dpo are you?

@rhirhibumblebee im around 12dpo today i reckon. I caved and tested this afternoon on a cheapie but negative. So holding out going well lol.

I'm going to jump on here, 2/3 days to AF, I've kept fairly calm this month but now I can't stop thinking about it!
