Hi all,

Just started the 2WW (I think) as I’m pretty sure I ovulated yesterday/today based on Flo & the bloatedness I’ve had...just wondered if anyone was at the same stage as me and how they were feeling about it all? This is TTC #1 for me xx

Haha! @buntingandstarcharts 9976 other tests!! 😂
This is super exciting, it would be so lovely to see at least one of us have this news!
Can't wait to see what tomorrow brings, I am as excited for you as I would be if it was me!! Xx

buntingandstarcharts · 21/02/2018 19:42

@lucylondon32 this is too exciting! You must be overjoyed 👌🏻👌🏻 There is 100% a line there! Eeak. Also, sore boobs is a huge sign! Yay. I'm so excited. I can't believe you aren't whizzing down to get 9976 other tests immediately! Eeak. Update us tomorrow please x

LG88 · 21/02/2018 18:46

@lucylondon32 well that all sounds like very positive signs!! I guess it is looking pretty good though as if that test showed something up in the middle of the day hopefully with more concentrated urine first thing in the morning you will get a good strong positive. I have everything crossed for you! Xx

lucylondon32 · 21/02/2018 16:56

@LG88 I don't quite believe it, trying not to get my hopes up! But yes I've got really sore boobs (which I don't normally have) and cramping xx

LG88 · 21/02/2018 16:36

@lucylondon32 that is so exciting. I can definitely see something quite clear.
Yep, I would do one with your first urine tomorrow as this should give you a clearer positive. I'm so excited for you!! Let us know how it goes! Do you still have other symptoms? Xx

lucylondon32 · 21/02/2018 16:16

@LG88 @buntingandstarcharts I'm 12 DPO I think, I've been using Flo to track my periods and ovulation so it's estimated! What shall I do next? A red dye one tomorrow? That was my last one so I'll nip out later and get one. That was a Sainsbury's cheapy x
I don't want to get my hopes up but I can see a line! That was after 5 mins (it said not to read after 10 mins) it's darker now x

buntingandstarcharts · 21/02/2018 15:53

@lucylondon32 I can see a line! Yay! How exciting! I would use a pink dye one to check? Apparently they're more accurate? How exciting? How many DPO are you? X so excited for you 🦄😀

LG88 · 21/02/2018 15:50

@lucylondon32 I can absolutely see a line there!! Unless we are both going crazy! 😄 xx

lucylondon32 · 21/02/2018 15:30

Please excuse that I'm in my car but I had to take it and nip straight out! Thoughts ladies? I feel like I'm going crazy xx

LG88 · 20/02/2018 13:48

@DaisyMay25 so sorry to hear that!
I am desperate to test again but scared I will just get a BFN this time.
I have had other symptoms this month which is what made me decide to test. I had a very small amount of pink discharge (sorry, tmi!) about a week ago which made me wonder, I have since had a huge break out on my chin. All very unusual for me. I don't know if I am just being overly optimistic though. Xx

buntingandstarcharts · 20/02/2018 13:06

@DaisyMay25 I'm so sorry to hear that. I am sending you lots of luck for a successful month as soon as possible. You're amazing staying sane over the past 6 months ❤️🌸

DaisyMay25 · 20/02/2018 13:02

@buntingandstarcharts I was trying for three months and was lucky to get pregnant but only lasted 6 weeks before mc. Been trying six months since then, it's very very frustrating.

buntingandstarcharts · 20/02/2018 13:01

@DaisyMay25 how long have you been trying if you don't mind me asking?@LG88 you're amazing not testing again! Do you have any other symptoms? X

DaisyMay25 · 20/02/2018 12:48

@LG88 I can see that line. I know what you mean about conflicting views online though. Apparently if it has colour it's not an evap though. You've got strong willpower not to test again!

@buntingandstarcharts don't look up average amount of time it takes to get pregnant I just did it and it made me angry, says 80% get pregnant within six months..

LG88 · 20/02/2018 12:39

@buntingandstarcharts it has made me feel so much better speaking to people who are in the same boat as me. It can make you feel quite isolated because unless someone is in the same position they can't understand how crazy it makes you. I know what you mean, I can't trust my eyes anymore. Ah but your not out yet! Keep your fingers crossed.
I think averagely it takes between 6 months to a year!! I think I will loose my mind before then. Xx

buntingandstarcharts · 20/02/2018 12:29

@Hopefulbunny @LG88 @lucylondon32 it's sooo nice to log in and to see your lovely posts of similar angst to me! I've been testing like a maniac and nada. I'm 10DPO and can definitely feel my period coming. All definite negatives. I feel like I can see two lines in every single test (including both of your pics) and then absolutely nothing, but I think it's my eyes?! I'm wondering how long the average is to get pregnant and whether this lube called PreSeed works. Xx

LG88 · 20/02/2018 10:37

@lucylondon32 everything you read tells you something different. I have read that if the line gets darker it's because it has had more time to detect the hormones but have also read it is just evaporation line as it dries out more. I think I am around 12dpo today roughly. And very confused. Xx

lucylondon32 · 20/02/2018 10:29

@LG88 it looks like a positive to me! It's good the lines are darker now too! How many DPO are you? X

LG88 · 20/02/2018 10:25

@lucylondon32 but it could be an evaporation line I guess? Confused

lucylondon32 · 20/02/2018 10:23

@LG88 I can't definitely see that line! Eeeek! X

LG88 · 20/02/2018 09:44

This is from Sunday but the line is actually much darker since. X

Anyone just starting the TWW..?
lucylondon32 · 20/02/2018 09:34

@LG88 have you tried tagging someone in a post to add a picture? Mine are definitely very negative xx

Anyone just starting the TWW..?
LG88 · 20/02/2018 09:21

No I am trying to hold off as long as I can @lucylondon32. AF is due around Thursday so I can't decide if I should hold off until then. Confused the line on the last test just confused me more than helped! Xx

lucylondon32 · 20/02/2018 09:00

@LG88 have you tested again lovely? It's so confusing at times! X

lucylondon32 · 20/02/2018 08:59

@buntingandstarcharts I think I'm out, tested this am at 12DPO and a clear negative, I've got period pains, AF due Thursday so we'll see xx
