Anyone care to join me for this interminable length of waiting time?! I'm only 1 dpo! Brew

I have just retested with a clearblue digital one and it says 1-2 weeks pregnant :)

ItalianWiking84 · 14/09/2013 09:24

Thanks arkady: my af is due on 5 days and this is 10dpo... Will wait a couple of days and test again

ArkadyRose · 14/09/2013 09:23

Italian This early it's probably just an evap line - the Superdrug ones seem pretty prone to them. Best to wait until AF is due - or at least until there are 4 days or less to wait. The blastcyst doesn't implant until at least 6 days post-ov, and your body won't start producing hcg until a couple of days after implantation - so there would be nothing for an hpt to pick up until at least 8dpo at the earliest, and even then levels will be too low to pick anything up until about 6 days before AF is due.

Help!!! I need help... I took a super drug test this morning, more than 4 days earlier than my af/BFP and there is a very faint line in the test field.... But now I am concerned if I can count on it when I tested so early... Expected it to be negative and don't even know why I tested... My ovulation was the 3-4 so as you can see, it's way to early,..
Told my bf and he see a very faint line too, but I am just worried if I get my exciment up for nothing... Please advice :)

ArkadyRose · 13/09/2013 20:48

Thanks. Something's definitely up with my cycles; they were every 29 days until I got pregnant last year & miscarried in Sept; got pregnant the next cycle & lost it in Feb. Since then they've shortened steadily. 25 days is the shortest thus far. Really hope I'm not perimenopausal. Sad

ItalianWiking84 · 13/09/2013 20:00

Sorry to hear that Arcady :/

GnomieGrace · 13/09/2013 19:58

So sorry to hear that Arkady, after your semi positive a few days ago I thought you were a dead cert! Sending hugs x

ArkadyRose · 13/09/2013 19:54

BFN this morning, and AF just started 4 days early. So that's me out for this month then. Sad

GnomieGrace · 13/09/2013 11:33

I never tracked my cycles pre pill anyway but vaguely remember that they were a bit all over the place anyway, we'll see. No rush just yet, would like a nice quick BFP but not yet quite into the realms of desperation!

ItalianWiking84 · 13/09/2013 10:11

GnomieGrace thanks :) I came off my pill in May too, but my periods went straight back to normal 31 day cycles... Hope yours will be back to normal too soon

wispaxmas · 12/09/2013 21:19

Haha Blush would be the face I would go for, though Shock is good, too!

GnomieGrace · 12/09/2013 21:14

Sorry meant to go for this face Shock!! Lol

GnomieGrace · 12/09/2013 21:14

Wisps could you imagine twins?!? Hmm

GnomieGrace · 12/09/2013 21:13

Hi Viking! Welcome, grab a nice comfy chair for the wait! I'm about 3 cycles into my TTC journey but I came off the pill in May so my cycles are all over the place, heavy, light, long, short sometimes great OV symptoms sometimes non at all! I currently gave watery CM but am on CD21! So that males no sense unless I'm having a super long cycle! Oh well we'll see in 7 days!

ItalianWiking84 · 12/09/2013 19:52

Hi all,
Can I join in?
I had my smile on the Clearblue normal digital ovulation sticks the 3rd and 4th and dtd the 30. of August, 1. of September, 3rd and 4th and the 8th.... Hope its been enough. I have no idea what day I ovulated, but because my BF works different shifts, we could not do it the 5th and 6th, because we only saw each other for like 10 minutes all together those days.
No symptoms tho at all
Would love to test the 16th because its BF birthday, but I am afraid its to early. BFP or AF is due the between the 17th and 19th.

wispaxmas · 12/09/2013 18:36

Ahh, this was the 2ww thread I was on last time, I thought it disappeared!

I'm back on the 2ww despite a very confusing positive-negative-positive series of opk results yesterday and today. A google search brings up the possibility of 2 LH surges meaning 2 eggs being released within 24 hours - what results in fraternal twins, pahaha, as if I needed any other inks to obsess over.

Hope the 2ww passes quickly, I am defo not testing early!

GnomieGrace · 12/09/2013 16:54

Just waiting now due on the 20th either a bfp or af so fingers crossed. I had no OV symptoms this month so am not that optimistic oh well! At least we got a lot of practise in! Lol Wink

snoozysleeper · 11/09/2013 22:49

I know gnomie I was wondering what had happened to this thread! Still going in with my 2ww ... Hope things are going well at your end

GnomieGrace · 11/09/2013 22:44

It's all gone a little quiet on here recently, how's everyone doing? Hope it's because you're all too busy shagging to get on here!

GnomieGrace · 08/09/2013 22:24

Sorry to hear you got a BFN but glad to see your optimism. Sometimes it's hard to remember it's about the journey as well as the destination! Remind me of that when I next get bummed out over a BFN x

Refoca · 08/09/2013 16:25

I poas this morning, definately out this month as AF in full flow and a bfn.

When I was convinced we'd caught first time, I was excited, but I'm also really excited to keep trying. We were trying as early as we were happy with but hoping to be statistically average at 3rd cycle, so now keeping fingers crossed for the rest of the cycles this year!

It's also really refreshing to have a 4 week cycle compared to 3, don't really mind whether it was chem pg or not, I feel really glad my body has calme down for a cycle and has not got any hcg lurking (assuming for a momet it was chem pg) through AF.

I guess I'll be back in a couple of weeks :-) good lucl everyone who is poas soon!

GnomieGrace · 07/09/2013 17:02

I'd Poas!

snoozysleeper · 06/09/2013 21:00

Congratulations arkady Flowers keep us all posted

And poas refoca

ELR · 06/09/2013 20:34

I'd Poas!!

Refoca · 06/09/2013 19:26

Congrats Arkady :-D fingers crossed for a happy and healthy pg.

I like the idea of an only poas on a Friday rule...can I adopt it for a day while I break my own no poas until 14th Sept rule...? Hmmm...

I'm still spotting, not a lot but some is bright red (sorry, waaay tmi), not bloated like I was a week ago, boobs still larger, no other pg signs...sure it's either just a randomly longer cycle or a chemical pg, but I want to know which! ...so I'm pondering poas despite my rules to save money/mental health. I think it would be more reassuring to know if sperm and egg got together long enough to make some hcg iykwim? Oh, decisions decisions. Gotta pick quick or the hcg will be gone from my system and I'll be none the wiser even if I do. Ha.

Wwyd?
