Starting the TWW - anyone want to join ?

So I think I'm in the tww, had a positive OPK on Monday afternoon and negative since so think I may be 1 or 2 dpo

Not sure we've done enough this month so will be surprised if it does happen .

Anyone want to join me in the wait?

I can definitely see something. Can you hold out two more days for the hormone to build up and do a frer? X

After a really faint line on an IC yesterday afternoon, I was hoping for a better result on a boots 5 day early test. I can still see a really faint line, but it’s nearly impossible to photograph. I’m starting to wonder if FMU isn’t actually the best way for me to test.

Too scared to do a digital in case it says no and used my last FRER yesterday morning (BFN).

I had Two desperate dreams last night about getting a BFP. This is really messing with my head.

@thejollytrolleydolly THANK YOUUU!!!!!
That will help loads.... I'm hoping I'll just put it to one side for a couple of weeks but that's highly unlikely! 😊😊

@Jessicawilliams21

Cd- cycle day, tww- two week wait, af- Aunt Flo (period) ds/dd- dear son/daughter. OH- other half, ic- internet cheapie, ewcm- egg white cervical mucus, bd/dtd- bed down/did the deed. Frer- first response preg test, bfn/bfp- big fat negative/positive. Those should demystify most of the convos for you xx

I used to get sore boobs during ovulation, with my first pregnancy they didn't stop being sore I found out I was pregnant after 6 weeks. With my second pregnancy I only got to 12 weeks but my boobs weren't really sore they were a bit tender at night when I took my bra off - so don't worry if you don't have sore boobs guys symptoms are different for everyone. First time I had no morning sickness second time I had all day sickness!

Emmalouise5688 · 16/11/2018 07:10

m symptom spotting like crazy so im roughly 3 days dpo my nipples are so soar I have had cramps on and off all day yesterday and last night I noticed the veins in my breasts are quite noticeable also my cervix feels high and closed. Could these be anything or am I going mad here x

Jessicawilliams21 · 16/11/2018 06:54

I'm completely new to this!
Getting a little confused with all the abbreviations, but 1 day since ovulation & I know this wait is going to drive me
Insane 🙈! Z

mrsof20118 · 16/11/2018 06:50

More brown spotting for me this morning when I wiped. Keep waiting for af to come out in full force x

Thank you very much @ReginaPhalange89 ! Just ordered them! Still on the Tww but I somehow think we were not lucky this month. 😩

@mrsmargot I just use the 'one step' test strips, I get them on Amazon or eBay, usually get about 30 for £3ish!

I tried the one step ones in the actual case last month and had evaps with all of them! So I'd never use those again

@stroan that looks a lot more positive than mine! I've done a few of those cheapies and not the faintest mark on them! Tried a pharmacy "early" test today and thought there was a line within the 5 mins but after it seemed to disappear! 🤷🏽‍♀️ I'm due on Monday so you would think I would have at least a faint line now 😓

asamamy1 · 15/11/2018 21:35

Hello!
I am new to this and feel that I need the luck this thread seems to bringing! TTC #1 since August. CD 21 and expecting AF on Tuesday. Been feeling crampier than usual this month but no sore boobs or other early signs. Had a busy month so couldn't track O but took FRER tonight and a BFN. Will test again Sunday morning but not holding out much hope! I can't stand this waiting, so desperate for a BFP!! Congrats to those who got theirs and good luck to all those still waiting!!

Mooey89 · 15/11/2018 21:18

Sammi and Emma Louise I get that with ovulation, have you used OPK’s?
I got a positive OPK on Tuesday eve, had cramps in my right side and then Weds had really bad pain in right side and cramping, positive OPK and then today no pain and neg OPK so definitely ov pain.

MrsMargot · 15/11/2018 21:14

Can I ask what internet cheapes can someone buy that are somewhat reliable? I think I will go bankrupt with clear blue...

Emmalouise5688 · 15/11/2018 18:41

I think im like 2 dpo but got mega sore nipples and stabbing like cramps in my left and occasionly my right lower abdomen x

sammi0805 · 15/11/2018 18:31

I'm getting stabbing pains in my lower right abdomen. Have done for 2 days. Is that the sign of anything?

stroan · 15/11/2018 17:51

@mrsof20118 I think I’m 10/11 dpo. Had a static smiley last Saturday, so guess I ovulated on Sunday.

Would just love a conclusive test on a proper one to be sure.

liquiddiamonds · 15/11/2018 17:41

@stroan I can see something too! Fingers crossed!!!

@stroan that's how my ic looked this morning! Fingers crossed for you

mrsof20118 · 15/11/2018 17:10

Wow @ReginaPhalange89 congratulations and what a fab anniversary present.
@Stroan sure I can see something too. How many dpo are you now?

stroan · 15/11/2018 16:54

@mseddy it’s very faint, but I’m getting those every afternoon and then proper tests are negative in the morning. Feel like I’m going mad.

Mseddy · 15/11/2018 16:46

@stroan I can see something, but not sure if there is any colour to it?? Tentative congrstulations! fingers crossed!

stroan · 15/11/2018 16:32

Can’t stop peeing on IC tests. This one is my last one, not FMU. I’m 10/11dpo I think. FRER this morning was very negative

Congratulations @Regina!! What a special day to find out on, can't wait to hear how your hubby reacts!!
