Anyone else in the 2ww?

1dpo cycle 1 post-mc, AF due 20/02 - last 2ww thread I was on got me through!

Trying to follow Kwick's rules for 2ww, no hot baths / cold veg etc, and not to react to every single twinge Hmm

@TwittleBee that's not fair, I hope I get chosen to test the products

TwittleBee · 20/03/2018 14:07

Oh that's great at least there's that to do for you! I was declined. I assume because I have PCOS.

winterwarmers · 20/03/2018 13:47

Onwards and upwards to the next cycle I've been accepted onto the clear blue study so will hopefully do that :)

TwittleBee · 20/03/2018 13:46

That is certainly a tricky one! TakingtheLeap ! They do say it can take months before your body returns to normal when you come off the pill. I'd say give it at least another week before you waste more money on more tests?

Although I can't really talk because I've now decide I am going to POAS for sure tomorrow. I will only be 9dpo but AF is due by Friday

TakingtheLeap · 20/03/2018 11:31

Hello all! I'm new here (first cycle TTC #1) but have been driving myself loopy this past week or so. I stopped taking the pill part-way through a packet on the 28th Feb so have no clue when or if I have ovulated this month. But for about the past 5 days I have had the weirdest symptoms. A couple of days of super sore boobs (though more in one than t'other!), very hungry / thirsty / tired, going to the loo a lot (because drinking so much water), and some odd bumps on my nipples (which I have since learned are called 'Montgomery's tubercles'!) have turned up.

I took a (cheapie, Co-op) test yesterday midday, BFN - tried FMU this morning but still negative. I've promised myself I won't try another until Thursday morning. Blush

Thoughts?! If I started having symptoms at 7 dpo (?) then I guess I'd be 12 dpo now which would be early for a positive? How many more tests do I take before I put all of my odd symptoms down to my body coming off the pill and generally trying to mess with my head? Confused Sad

TwittleBee · 20/03/2018 09:59

oh Preparing I am guilty of this too even though I know it is farrrrr too early haha

PreparingToBeAMummy · 20/03/2018 09:12

I'm still waiting for AF due Sunday but have taken approximately a million tests with no BFPs so wish it would just hurry up!

PumpkinPatch000 · 20/03/2018 09:05

Thanks @PassTheAfterEights how are you? I tested on Sunday with a FRER and it’s BFN still. The last peak I got was the day before less than a week before the last one so I did wonder if maybe it was picking up pregnancy but nope. It had crossed my mind to speak to EPU but I wonder if they’ll just say 4-6 weeks for AF is a guideline and to wait longer. I was thinking maybe wait until 8 weeks and if still nothing then to call them. At this point I’d be happy to see BFP or AF.. just something so I know my body is working! x

Hi @PumpkinPatch000 nice to see you - sorry you're still in limbo, so miserable. If you're defo not preg again(?) is it worth checking in with the EPU to see what they say? x

PumpkinPatch000 · 20/03/2018 08:57

Thanks @Twittlebee I really hope so! Being is this limbo is horrible.

TwittleBee · 20/03/2018 08:51

no no no that is so strange Winter sending you so many hugs. I am so sorry! Sad

Pumpkin hi there, yeah it does take a while for body to be able to go back to "normal" after MC. Hope that yours gets there soon!

PumpkinPatch000 · 20/03/2018 08:43

Hi ladies.

Sorry I haven’t been around for a while, after getting BFN I was really down and confused with everything.

How are you all?

It’s now been 6.5 weeks since the MC and no sign of AF or BFP. I’m still going ovulation tests and so far have had 4 peaks since the MC which is making me panic to be honest. It seems strange to have that many.. maybe my body is having trouble releasing the egg? I have no idea!

Hope you are all well and there have been some BFPs while I’ve been away! x

Noooo @winterwarmers how completely baffling. I'm so sorry we all got excited. What can it mean? Bloody FRER's. At least AF was right on time but small consolation I know. She's due for me tomorrow, might have each others company next month too.

Congrats @winterwarmer, a line is a line xx

winterwarmers · 20/03/2018 06:06

@TwittleBee thank you I've got some more frer due to be delivered today, I'm going to stop temping as my temperature is really low

TwittleBee · 20/03/2018 05:58

As long as there's a line it's a BFP!

winterwarmers · 20/03/2018 05:24

i took another test and there is a vvvvfl but it is pink with dd i always got a darker line in the PM so i'm going to retry tonight / tomorrow morning

winterwarmers · 19/03/2018 22:13

i think it was about 3/4 minutes this is how it dried it's invalid now but there is a line and i think it's pink

i've never had a faint line/evaporate before

I might be wrong - and I don't want to get your hopes up - but everything I ever read about FRER's said they don't/can't get evaps. Indents yes, if you take them apart you can see them - but it's a very sharp thin grey line. How long did it take for the second line to show @winterwarmers ?

OP posts:
winterwarmers · 19/03/2018 21:35

I have a feeling it's going to be too good to be true and it will end up being an evap :( I'm just not feeling that positive

vickywood3 · 19/03/2018 19:51

@winterearmer, I see something their too! Eeeccckkk am excited for you! Test Tomoz morning and let us know ASAP! How many Dpo are you? Xx

winterwarmers · 19/03/2018 19:46
