Anyone in 2ww? 8DPO today and itching to test after chemical pregnancy last month!

Yep. I’m CD 27 today. Not sure on exact DPO as didn’t track. Haven’t tested yet but also itching too!

Luciechapman · 07/03/2026 21:39

I got a BFP on day 9 with my son but last month I was positive on day 9 but negative by day 14. Maybe I should wait so I don’t know if I have another chemical. My luteal phase is only like 8 days though!

I’m the complete opposite I didn’t get a positive with my son until I was about 3/4 days late. When is AF due, Tomo?

HelloDarknessmyoldfrenemy · 07/03/2026 21:56

Yes, 9dpo i think here! BFN this morning, hoping I’m just too early yet 😬 how old in your son @Luciechapman ? I’ve got a 4 year old and a 2 year old so if it happens, this would be number 3!

Luciechapman · 08/03/2026 06:30

@HelloDarknessmyoldfrenemy my son is 2 too. We lost his older brother when I was 22 weeks pregnant a year before he was born so I always find pregnancy stressful but I’m desperate to have another now. I have just had some red spotting so maybe AF is on its way 😔 I fell pregnant first month of trying with both my previous pregnancies. This is month 3 now. I’m very impatient!

OP posts:
Luciechapman · 08/03/2026 06:31

@user5699 yeah AF due any time now. It’s my first cycle since our chemical pregnancy so may be a bit messed up. Although i ovulated pretty much as normal so who knows

OP posts:
HelloDarknessmyoldfrenemy · 08/03/2026 06:51

@Luciechapman So sorry for your loss at 22 weeks! That must have been absolutely awful. Completely understand why pregnancy is a difficult time for you.

Have you always had an 8 day luteal phase? It is on the shorter side and can make it harder for implantation to occur i think? But if you conceived your sons first time maybe it doesn’t affect you as much. I have seen supplements recommended for shorter luteal phases, if you felt like looking into it.

I’m month 3 too, and also very impatient! Time just seems to drag and run away all at once when counting the days so closely! And I keep looking at the age gap between my children and thinking that I don’t want it to get any bigger!

Luciechapman · 08/03/2026 06:57

@HelloDarknessmyoldfrenemy thank you, it was terrible and as it was my first pregnancy it’s just made it all very nerve wracking! I’d have love to have had the chance to enjoy pregnancy without fear all the time! I have always had a short luteal phase and take loads of supplements but it doesn’t make a difference. Just recently I had blood to rule out thyroid issues and stuff too. I guess that’s just my cycle and how it works for me. I suppose I technically did get pregnant last month too but it just didn’t stick long. Wishing you luck this cycle too! Xx

Luciechapman · 08/03/2026 10:55

I just had quite a lot of red blood so not looking hopefully for me this month 😭

OP posts:
HelloDarknessmyoldfrenemy · 08/03/2026 12:27

Sorry to hear that @Luciechapman ! Sending you lots of sticky baby dust for next month.

Not hopeful here either. BFN on 10 dpo ☹️

Luciechapman · 08/03/2026 13:34

@HelloDarknessmyoldfrenemy 10dpo is still super early, hopefully you get a positive in the coming days. I’m hopeful mines just a big implantation bleed but I think I’m just kidding myself. Let me know how you get on x

OP posts:
user5699 · 08/03/2026 19:48

Sorry to hear AF has come @Luciechapman, I hope you are ok. X

Luciechapman · 08/03/2026 20:21

@user5699 thank you, i haven’t actually had any more bleeding so who knows what’s going on. Will see over the next few days! Seemed too much for implantation really though!

Also waiting anxiously (and possibly in false hope) after a mmc at the end of last year.

Currently cd27. I was convinced I was pregnant after a random day of cramps dpo and then loads of random jelly like ewcm following. Took an ultra early on Saturday (10dpo) and it was stark white. Assumed I was out for this month but today have had stabbing cramps & stringy yellow cm which I don't recall ever having had before a period. So who knows!

Luciechapman · 10/03/2026 11:00

@WanttobeMam good luck lovely! I don’t know what’s happening with me. I have had 2 days of what was like a period. Now it’s stopped again, all my symptoms are the same as when I was pregnant with my son an I have a very faint line on a test but I don’t know if it’s an evap. Feels like I have bled too much for it to be anything viable

OP posts:
user5699 · 10/03/2026 14:52

@Luciechapman AF came for me today, right on cue. Had a little cry!
can you post a photo of the test? Fingers crossed for you!!

Luciechapman · 10/03/2026 16:06

@user5699 im sorry to hear that. It’s sooo faint I don’t know if it’s an evaporation line. I did 2 different tests and got lines on both but very very faint. Still bleeding and crampy so not holding my breathe either!

OP posts:
WanttobeMam · 10/03/2026 16:09

@Luciechapman That sounds such an emotional rollercoaster! I hope you get clarity soon.

Still no AF but another negative this morning. Increasingly knowing i'm out but want to bleed and get the next cycle started!

Luciechapman · 11/03/2026 14:38

Well it must have been false positive's or another chemical for me because AF has come back today 😭

@HelloDarknessmyoldfrenemy @user5699 @WanttobeMam

user5699 · 11/03/2026 15:00

@Luciechapman ah I’m so sorry. Be kind to yourself. We are both onto the next cycle. Hopefully a Xmas baby ?

Luciechapman · 11/03/2026 15:42

@user5699 My living son is 28th December. I fell pregnant instantly with him after losing his brother. I feel like I just thought it might be the same this time round too 😭

OP posts:
HelloDarknessmyoldfrenemy · 11/03/2026 17:02

@Luciechapman Oh no!! How rubbish, especially with the faint positive!! Look after yourself, sending hugs.

AF also arrived for me today, but I only ever tested negative so not a surprise! So annoying as I timed dtd completely right, did it loads and it still didn’t work!
I also fell pregnant first cycle with my daughter. Today is the start of the fourth cycle! I was hoping for an autumn baby 😫 goodbye that dream!

user5699 · 11/03/2026 17:12

I fell first time with my son too. I thought would be the same as well. But have to keep reminding myself I’m 6 years older now.

Luciechapman · 11/03/2026 17:27

@HelloDarknessmyoldfrenemy we’re going into cycle 4 too and we were exactly the same. Knew exactly when I ovulated too! I already have a 28th December baby too! Was hoping to avoid trying next month but I don’t want to wait any longer. My first son was die 3rd June but sadly we lost him at 22 weeks! Fingers crossed for next cycle ladies!
