Anyone just starting the TWW..?

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

@JuniperKane Congrats!

Dragonandthewolf · 04/02/2018 15:34

@juniper congrats!

I’ve just got a squinter on a pink dye test in mid afternoon dilluted pee! (Made DH go or and buy one!)
I’ll test again in morning but I won’t beleive it until I see the words on a clear blue! Also I’m only still 10 or 11dpo, and af isn’t due until next weekend!

rosieposies · 04/02/2018 15:14

@dreamy not TMI at all!

@happythoughts Don't forget you've done it in the afternoon as well! Morning wee will be much more concentrated (sorry to be gross)

@juniperkane that sounds very promising!! Excited for you

JuniperKane · 04/02/2018 15:09

A day before AF is due and I just got a very faint line on a FRER, feeling nervous but optimistic

Dragonandthewolf · 04/02/2018 15:04

Oh sorry @happy, you’re still early though so plenty of time for a bfp. I miss my stash of ICs.

Just really annoyed with myself for testing, when I knew it would be too early. Only have myself to blame for feeling disappointed. Xx

Well I tested (because I have no control) with an IC and got an BFN Sad I think I’m either 9/10 DPO, hopefully there’s still time for my BFP! Xx

@dreamy sorry about the witch :(

DreamyCat · 04/02/2018 12:51

@rosieposies Looks like AF is still coming, spotting on and off! She can't make her bloody mind up (pun intended). Sorry if TMI 😐

rosieposies · 04/02/2018 12:49

Sorry @dreamy, just seen your most recent post about AF not coming in the end, every thing crossed for you!

DreamyCat · 04/02/2018 12:47

@Dragonandthewolf I didn't know that about the blue lines. Really hope it works out for you this month, will keep my fingers crossed.

I'm tearful and the spotting has started again so looks like the witch AF is here. Sad

rosieposies · 04/02/2018 12:47

@ATP1000 I think I'm going to buy an opk for next month (if i need it) as I actually have no clue when I ovulate and am just going by what Flo tells me.

Sorry to hear that @dreamycat

Anyone else feeling super grumpy or is it just me Sad. Hoping its not PMS and I'm just irritable because I can't test for what feels like forever.

Dragonandthewolf · 04/02/2018 11:00

@dreamy no worries! It starts with the egg is also a very good book but not sure where there’s much LP guidance in there but will double check.
I think any line is a line doesn’t work with blue dyes because they’re so much more high risk of giving evaps. So frustrating! Wish I didn’t bother with it now.

@happy I really want to do another test pronto! I got desperate and peed on an opk.. there’s a second line but that could be anything! Think I’ll make DH go to the shop and hunt down a FRER!

Oh @daisy and @penny sorry about the bfn.

Penny31 · 04/02/2018 10:35

@daisy sorry you got a bfn too 😔

Af due thurs for me. Said I’d test again on wed but who am I kidding? I’ll test everyday 😂

DreamyCat · 04/02/2018 10:27

Love & luck to all!! This process is hard. X

DaisyMay25 · 04/02/2018 10:09

BFN for me this morning too, going to test with IC everyday probably. AF is due Saturday I think if nothing by next Monday I'll go to the doctors probably. FX they are all just early tests for everyone!

MrzE · 04/02/2018 10:04

@Dragonandthewolf Glad I'm not alone here. Hopefully it's not a sign of AF. Fx for us both

Thanks @mimi, I’m trying not to get my hopes up, but I’ve never experienced it before. Going to try not to test today & wait until later in the week - if I can hold off until then!

And @seven is right, sweet - most AF symptoms are the same as BFP so you never know! You’re not out until you’re out, chick. I’ll keep my fx crossed for you xx

@seven thanks for that. When i was pregnant in the summer (before mc) i had all the symptons. So far, nothing this time. Trying to stay positive.

HappyThoughts7 · 04/02/2018 09:16

Ahhhh @dragon, I can definitely see a line! Eeeek fx for you, Hun! Are you able to pick up a FRER today ready for the morning? Xx

OP posts:
DreamyCat · 04/02/2018 09:01

@Dragonandthewolf I can see the second line but as you say hard to tell if evaporation. Hopefully it gets darker with the next test! Don't they say 'any line counts' when it comes to pregnancy tests?

Thanks for offering to look up luteal phase stuff for me! I've just been reading up on it in Taking Charge of Your Fertility but the author only explains how to identify that you have a short luteal phase (done!!) but no tips on increasing it. Hoping the b6 works & going to see my GP too.

Good luck with your BFP, bet you're itching to test again!!

DreamyCat · 04/02/2018 08:57

@seven201 Thank you for the positivity and the advice. Going to get some vitamin C & will discuss the progesterone/clomid options with the G.P, maybe she'll refer me to a gynaecologist.

DreamyCat · 04/02/2018 08:50

@Mimilicious013 You calling AF "the witch" made me giggle! I thought my witch was here yesterday but then she just lightly spotted (sorry if TMI) and left again on her broomstick so who knows what she's up to.

Penny31 · 04/02/2018 08:08

I see something dragon!

seven201 · 04/02/2018 07:12

Just putting this out there. When I was pregnant with my dd I didn't have any symptoms and I really felt like my period was on its way. So much so that I didn't test until it was about 5 days late as I really thought each day it would just start. I was so miserable for those 5 days! Just saying if you don't have symptoms it doesn't mean you're out of the game!
