I posted this on the October thread but I guess no one is there anymore as nobody has responded! I'm a mix of joy and anxiety, as this is my 3rd positive test since trying for a 2nd child. 2 miscarriages and a chemical pregnancy have forever taken away the excitement for me! This was a bit of a surprise, as we weren't going to 'try' until next cycle. And we DTD just once 3 days before peak!

Congratulations :) Fingers crossed all goes ok.

When would you test this month/how many dpo are you?

Edited

6 days PO but I forgot to test after a few days its possible my ovulation peak is off and I ovulated a day or two after my app says I did. I'll probably test next sunday

Orangeroses243 · 02/11/2025 17:28

Fingers crossed for you! I think I'll be testing Friday or Saturday. Really should just wait for my period but you know what it's like.

Hi everyone! Joining this thread.

We are on cycle 2 of ttc no 2.

We have a three-year-old DS. We lost two babies (miscarriage) before having him. I got diagnosed with PCOS a few months back. Periods are a bit unpredictable since having my son. Can be 3 1/2 weeks or seven week cycles.

Cycle 1 I really let get to my head, early tested, over thought everything. This cycle I’ve told myself no tracking and no pressure on dtd every 2 days. My DH has been away since the day of ovulation going off of my usual ovulation symptoms. Try my hardest to not expect it to happen quickly and it happens when it happens. Not feeling too hopeful this month.

I believe I’m 6 or 7 dpo x

PessimysticMeg · 02/11/2025 18:00

Congratulations to those with positives already!

Halfway through my 2 week wait and not hugely hopeful as it’s only the first cycle properly trying and seems improbable to get a positive first time although I think we did what we needed to! I’ll be waiting for my period to test unless I get any crazy symptoms in the next week. Fingers crossed everyone.

bigbaggyblue · 02/11/2025 22:00

I’m going to join you all. I have a 2 year old little girl and was our first cycle last month TTC for baby number 2 but I can tell my periods going to come tomorrow, had BFN yesterday at 13dpo. I’ll start doing LH tests around the 12th/13th, just ordered some easy @ home to try. Would mean everything to get a BFP before Christmas so two cycles left 🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼

Littlegreenpebbles · 03/11/2025 07:32

Pretty confident Im out, I've had some pretty strong but usual cramping overnight. I won't bother testing since my period is pretty much definitely going to arrive today. On to next month!

Orangeroses243 · 03/11/2025 09:27

I thought I felt period pain yesterday while driving and was getting emotional about it! Our first month after stopping pill ttc baby no2. I definitely need to be more positive as its only the first cycle but as we all know its hard not to feel hopeful!
Anyway no show of bleeding. I am 8dpo, so period would be early but I as I haven't had a period since coming off its hard to 100% tell so am aware things could be a bit awol ans it could just show up! Anyway - Tracked days from break through bleed. Ovulated 25th/26th Ewcm lines up perfectly with time line of my usual 28/29 cycles.
Anyway felt like ive smelt calpol for the last two days which is odd aha! Accompanied with funny taste in mouth. I think I am going mad waiting to test!! As I said only 8dpo ... so probably a bit early!!

Orangeroses243 · 03/11/2025 09:29

@Littlegreenpebbles sending support! Let us know of it definitely arrives...until then not out. X

cobalt123 · 03/11/2025 14:26

Hey all. Jumping in here after a couple of very faint lines came to nothing. CD2 today so will see what November brings. Who knew months were so long!!!

Littlegreenpebbles · 03/11/2025 15:06

Well im definitely out! My period arrived this afternoon so we can be buddies into a new cycle cobalt123

Still feeling so seedy, but that must be unrelated 🤷‍♀️

Littlegreenpebbles · 03/11/2025 15:09

Should say, Im also switching up my standard fertility supplements so if anyone has a brand they really like Im open to suggestions.

Not fertility branded but I take the free soul female multivitamin, along with additional folic acid combined with myo inositol for my pcos (brings me up to 400mg), high dose vitamin D with K3. The only ones I’m missing and reluctant to try because it can get expensive is coq10 and a separate omega 3.

So I don't take a single supplement as I'm on 5mg prescription folic acid, so just take vitamins B12 and D daily (as a spray), but I've heard good things from a friend about Ovum. Think it's pricey though!

Char1998 · 03/11/2025 17:07

Sorry to jump on but Just wondering if this has ever happened to anyone and did it lead to pregnancy or just the start of their period? I’m unsure when I ovulated but my app says between the 10th and 15th of October I haven’t had a period since the end of September I’ve completely missed my period in October I’m now 6 days past when my period was due and I’ve noticed pink spotting when I wipe I don’t have cramp or even feel like my periods coming I do have very sore nipples so took a test 3 days ago and it was negative so didn’t think much of it just thought it’s a delayed period but today I’ve had that pink spotting when I wipe now thing so now it’s got me thinking am I pregnant or just having a skipped period has this happened to anyone before?

Littlegreenpebbles · 03/11/2025 17:14

Char1998 I had similar in terms of implantation bleeding, though I had positive pregancy tests by that point. It was around 5/6 after my period was due, super light and only when I wiped. Lasted 5 days and I had a check up with the EPU who confirmed everything looked fine.
If I were you Id take another test, and if that's negative/you don't normally have irregular periods see your GP for a blood test.

Just done another test, negative so im thinking it’s just a delayed period down to stress maybe. Anyways best of luck to yous all

I’ve been taking wild nutrition with a top up of folic acid. Wild nutrition tastes like death but the reviews were good!

Littlegreenpebbles · 03/11/2025 20:44

Thanks all, I get my b12 and a low dose of progesterone through my gp but the rest is up to me. My friend recommended proceive but then I'd need to add the omega 3 separately and it all adds up! I'll take a look at ovum too.

Orangeroses243 · 04/11/2025 05:48

Caved and tested at 9dpo this morning. Very clear negative. Keeping fingers crossed going forwards! 🤞🤞🤞

Just tested at 10dpo using an early response after I thought I saw a shadow on an easy at home this morning. I know clear blue is known for evaps but what do people think. Hoping this is it for me after a chemical on my first month trying (this is month 5)

@summertime94 I can see it, it looks like it’s the right thickness too rather than a thin evap 🤞🏻
