Hi ladies,

I have been TTC for four months now. I actually didn't realise how stressful this whole experience is. I shouldn't have expected for it to happen straight away but i'm so impatient.

Anyway, would love to see who else is out there to join me on my TWW. I used CB ovulation tests this month and dtd the day before ovulation. I had an HSG last month and my tubes are all clear so that's good to know.

I am only about 2dpo. Obviously no symptoms the only thing worth mentioning is I have been getting these weird gurgling/popping noises in my stomach. It's SO strange I've never had this before. Maybe it's because I'm drinking lots of pineapple juice which I never normally do, who knows! What are you all doing to keep yourself occupied and not obsessing over this tww?!

I've booked my first acupuncture session this Friday so hopefully that will help de-stress me! Good luck to you all, would love to hear your stories x

@houseplantinvasion 1 day late around 14dpo not sure exactly when i ovulated. Thank you so much I have a digital I'm going to try in the morning.. fingers crossed !!

HouseplantInvasion · 25/10/2018 09:05

I can see it....it’s so hard isn’t it, I think it does look grey, but it could be the start of a bfp or could be an evap/indent! I have everything crossed that it gets darker in the next few days. How many dpo are you? Xx

Barker26 · 25/10/2018 08:08

@houseplantinvasion it looks a bit grey...so annoying all I can do is wait....

Barker26 · 25/10/2018 08:07

Can you see it ?

Argh!! I'm actually losing it! Can someone just make time go a little faster please? I'm calling the fertility clinic at lunch time to get my day 21 bloods results, then I can make a judgement on whether or not to test. At the moment I think I'm 9dpo, but could be completely wrong there. I just want to test, but I can't face the disappointment. Confused

HouseplantInvasion · 25/10/2018 07:37

*its a bro...meant to be it’s a bfp lol

HouseplantInvasion · 25/10/2018 07:37

@barker26 how faint are you talking? Does it definitely look pink? I have everything crossed for you, but just to warn you I have had quite a few ultra thin grey lines on FRER so if it’s pink I’d say it’s a bro, but if not obviously pink then it may be an evap /indent line....I really hope it’s not! Obviously only way to know is to test again in a day or 2 and see x

Hi @charlyn!

I did a cheapy this morning (and I think I can see an ultra ultra faint line, the kind you have to tilt it all different angles and is really more of a shadow.....so I’m calling it a bfn and fingers crossed for tomorrow!

mrsof20118 · 25/10/2018 07:13

@barker26 a faint line is still a positive! Have you got any pics of it? X

Barker26 · 25/10/2018 07:08

@mrsof20118 thanks hun :) I did a frer this morning and I see a very faint line ? But having lost of cramps and the line is very very light... I've never had a bfp as this would be my first so i dont know what to think!!

mrsof20118 · 25/10/2018 07:02

@Barker26 there's still hope if she's not here x

Barker26 · 24/10/2018 22:55

Did a frer around 5pm... negative! But I had only gone for a wee around an hour before so now sure how accurate it is....clutching at straws...

charlyn · 24/10/2018 14:35

Hope I can join you - i think I’m in the 2ww although I haven’t had a positive opk yet though did miss some days. I’m on cd 27 today and took Agnus Castus this month so think I may have ovulation earlier this time than usual. Going by the days I had strong pains in my ovaries I think I could be 5dpo, 10dpo of 14dpo! I’m going to keep testing with OPKS for now.,

Barker26 · 24/10/2018 13:41

@sav89 I was going to test tomorrow if she doesnt show today.. I only have a cb digital though and worried I will be gutted if it says not pregnant! Also having lower back pain. Keep thinking AF is here then go to toilet and nothing... @closedcircuit I hope so too! So hard to stay distracted isn't it.... argh

Tisfortired · 24/10/2018 13:27

Still no AF here, had really light spotting yesterday and the day before but nothing today. I also have such a sore lower back, much worse than usual AF. I am not getting my hopes up because knowing my luck it'll just be my body ramping up for an extra bad AF! If she doesn't show today I'll test tomorrow.

I have my fingers crossed for you all 

sav89 · 24/10/2018 12:42

Hi Barker26 I hope AF stays away! When do you plan to test again?

Welcome mrsof20118 so sorry to hear about your mc. Hopefully this month will be better but amazing you got such an early BFP.

closedcircuit I had same thing as you, sore/dry throat in the morning. Was hoping this was a sign but not looking good for me.

I just bought a FRER and got a bfn :( I'm about 8-9dpo so still could be too early but just not feeling hopeful this month. Will test again at the weekend and I will know for sure.

mrsof20118 · 24/10/2018 12:27

Can I join? 7dpo. Ovulated late this cycle on cd18 or cd19 due to an early mc which started the last weekend of September. The waiting to test is driving me crazy. I got a bfp last time on 7dpo but too scared to test so early this month.

EvieV28 · 24/10/2018 10:58

@HouseplantInvasion I'm trying to wait until the weekend but I think I'll cave in and test tomorrow 🙈

closedcircuit · 24/10/2018 10:42

@Barker26 here's hoping the nausea is a good sign for a sticky bean!!
I'm just about holding on I've been trying extra hard to stay patient, have hope and keep distracted!

closedcircuit · 24/10/2018 10:39

@sav89 no proper symptoms from what i can tell! I have low back pain but thats nothing new i have it every day. I also have been waking up with a dry/sore throat every morning but I think it can be put down to dehydration so have been upping my water intake.
@Houseplantinvasion I think i have too much hope I really do get disappointed at BFNs.

At this point im just trying to hold onto getting to friday when im 9dpo for testing!

Barker26 · 24/10/2018 10:04

So af is due today nothing as of yet... feel a bit sick also ! Haven't tested for a few days and I was sick of seeing bfn and also my cycle is irregular so i could be 12dpo or more depending on when i ovulated..... ! How is everyone getting on?

HouseplantInvasion · 24/10/2018 09:53

Ooh when are you going to test @EvieV28? Or are you being sensible and waiting for AF?

EvieV28 · 24/10/2018 09:24

I'm 10dpo, haven't tested yet! Feeling really sick but also cramping so could be AF on the way.

HouseplantInvasion · 24/10/2018 09:05

Haha I completely agree it’s best to wait but no way I will Grin

I’ll be testing daily now too, but I do know I’m ok with seeing bfn’s - I enjoy the “thrill” of watching the stick develop and wondering “what if”, but I never actually expect to see a line. I’ve had loads of evaps in the past so I won’t trust any line that you have to search for/tilt/shine a light to see.

sav89 · 24/10/2018 08:32

Hey closedcircuit that's what I keep reminding myself! Atleast I can start testing everyday now lol I've got a sore throat and boobs slightly different but still not confident for this month! Have you got any symptoms? When are you testing?
