Tomorrow is the last day of my fertile window. 6th month ttc. Trying not to get my hopes up. Felt rather positive at the start of the week but now feeling quite negative. Testing on 22nd. Anyone else on the 2ww?

Harrtpotternerd you have reminded me about Christmas cards- i have 20 I still need to send! How are you feeling today?

Ethel- you're not out yet! Crossing everything for you x

I did this test this morning....haven't put a filter on it. It was a cheapie.

Harrypotternerd I love your username! I am a massive HP fan myself Smile
I've got a big meeting today that's three hours drive away so hopefully that will take my mind off it. Already think I'm out anyway...

My partner is away with work with the car and I live in the middle of nowhere.....I only have two cheapies left :(

ethelfleda · 15/12/2016 19:16

You're worried cause the line is too strong Wink
Can you buy the same brand again and test again?

minime88 · 15/12/2016 17:50

Ethel it came up within 2 mins! I keep thinking it's too strong a line....at this point shouldn't it be even fainter? I'm not 100% certain when I ovulated, if it's when I had cramps in my fertile window then I'm 11/12 days past ovulation. But if it's when the app predicted then I'm only 9 days past ovulation!

ethelfleda · 15/12/2016 16:25

I'm sure I read somewhere that false positives are very rare? False negatives sure but not false positives. Did it come up within the time frame?

minime88 · 15/12/2016 16:19

Thanks ethel....I feel really negative and basically convinced myself it's a false positive because is so early to test!

Hi ringroads and Hippychic79!

Hippychic I'm due same day as you and used the clearblue (non digital) x

ringroads · 15/12/2016 15:46

Hellloooo can I join into plz,
Cycle 6 TTC 2 CD 21, symptom spotting like a crazy woman, having loads of CM and cramping since ovulation. Staying hopeful that this has to be my month! Star good luck all

ethelfleda · 15/12/2016 15:32

Hi Hippy chick! May I recommend not to test early like I did?! Lol x

ethelfleda · 15/12/2016 15:31

Hi Minime- looks like you have a BFP there!! Congrats!
I used an Asda test. Says you can test 4 days before AF is dit but didn't even get a hint of a line! Trying not to be disheartened but I swear all my 'positive symptoms' are going! Keep prodding my boobs to see if they still hurt Confused

Hippychic79 · 15/12/2016 14:27

Hey ladies - please may I join too?
This 2WW is driving me crazy ....
I'm 38 / TTC #1 / Cycle 3 / Cycle Day 24 / AF due 20th
I really really want to test.... all i really want for xmas is BFP.....
But I'm convincing myself its better to wait to increase the accuracy.... I've got clearblue pt's ....

fingers and toes crossed for you all xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

minime88 · 15/12/2016 14:07

Thanks lucylou1234 :) no one was clearblue the other a cheapie! Positive on clear blue within 2 mins, negative on the cheapie. Now I'm doubting myself because I know clear blues give false positives :( pregnancy can feel like your period is due so you're not out!!!

Ethel crossing everything for you....10 days past ovulation is a little soon to test sometimes, what test did you use?

start of 2ww...AGAIN
lucylou1234 · 15/12/2016 11:13

aw miniegot my fx for you ! was it the same brand of test ? maybe one was more sensative than the other:(

i'm symptom spotiing like mad too but i'm guessing i'm out. been feeling like my period is coming on from 4 dpo but think it's officially on it's way :(

ethelfleda · 15/12/2016 11:03

Hello everyone - can I join please??
AF due Sunday and was feeling really positive thinking I was having all the right symptoms. Stupidly tested yesterday at 10dpo and got a bfn. And convinced that most of my symptoms have now subsided. Boobs don't hurt as much and don't feel as tired etc etc
I reckon I'm out this month Sad

minime88 · 15/12/2016 10:39

I've been writing down symptoms on a tracker....I am officially crazy!

Hi ladies,

Can I join?

Trying to conceive for a year, I'm really lucky to have a DD.

I posted this morning, I've done two tests one positive and another negative!

I'm due on AF early next week.

Anyone else feeling like TTC has totally taken over their lives?

Xx

we have relatives coming and staying with us from christmas eve to at the very least boxing day but most likely until new years so I might try and get a quiet moment to do a test. These relatives don't know we are ttc. I really want it to happen this month, more than other months because I dream of telling DP I am pregnant on his birthday

lucylou1234 · 14/12/2016 11:44

darn i ended up doing a test - even though i KNOW its too early and of course it's a negative :(

TurquoiseDress · 14/12/2016 10:31

*scan pics!

TurquoiseDress · 14/12/2016 10:31

Yes and FB just makes me feel worse.

so many acquaintances (not close friends) seem to be having babies at the moment.

It's so hard seeing all those who were due around the same time as me- I remember back in the summer, I was going through the nightmare of miscarriage and seeing all these can pics & pregnancy announcements popping up at the same time. All felt very unfair!

TurquoiseDress · 14/12/2016 10:29

Me too OP!

For us we're on cycle 5, but rapidly heading towards the 6 month mark Xmas Sad

Have always fallen pregnant so quickly & unexpectedly previously, and I had a missed miscarriage in the summer so that is making it harder for me I think.

Currently CD28 my cycles have ranged from 27 to 31 days so am expecting a period any day now. Don't feel any different to normal, given up looking at Ovia for the last week or so.

Need to stop the daily Ovia email which reminds me to log all my "unusual symptoms" that might indicate pregnancy, I do not want to go down the road of symptom spotting!

Good luck to you all!
