I'm pretty certain I ovulated on Friday, after 2 months of constant negative opks. So these next two weeks are going to drive me fully barmy! Anyone else out there in the TWW?

@Hopeful2020 I'll keep my fingers crossed then! It's only our second month trying, but it happened so quickly with our first and second that I think I'm comparing to those times too much 😶 xx

teachermam · 12/09/2019 15:37

Sorry to hear that girls

Think I'm out too
Boobs not sore anymore and got negative on cheap test
Think I'm due Saturday

Was convinced it was the month

Hopeful2020 · 12/09/2019 12:39

@Boymum1991 I don't think the digital ones are particularly sensitive though, you'd have to be actually late to get a result, so could still be in the game! I think they're around 50mlu compared to First Response which are 25mlu 🤞🏻

Hopeful2020 · 12/09/2019 10:45

Sorry this wasn't your month ladies, it's so disappointing.
Fingers crossed for next time xx

Boymum1991 · 12/09/2019 10:04

So I was impatient and tested today with digi, BFN 😩 think I might have to order some more cheapies so I don't use the other digital yet!

Pineapplebaby · 12/09/2019 09:51

So sorry to hear that ladies Sad best of luck for next month - sending you lots of sticky baby dust xxx

Each2TheirOwn · 12/09/2019 09:36

@ALittleBitAlexis same here, I was more sure than not that this was my month 😔 I'm hopeful we will both get our BFPs this cycle though 🤞🏼 x

ALittleBitAlexis · 12/09/2019 09:08

Me too @Each2TheirOwn. Really gutted, my body had me believing this was it for a while!

Best of luck to everyone else!

I'm out 😔 Best of luck to everyone x

Each2TheirOwn · 11/09/2019 20:21

@Woodlandwitch I'm exactly the same, due on tomorrow (CD33). I usually have dark brown spotting for 2-4 days before AF arrives but currently have nothing! I did have 'spotting' (wouldn't even call it that, it was tinged toilet paper only when I wiped CD10 & 11) but since then, not a thing. I was hoping it was IB 🤞🏼 but I tested yesterday with a FRER and got a BFN 👎🏼 I ordered more FRER and they arrived today so I will test again tomorrow with FMU.

Wishing you luck x

Woodlandwitch · 11/09/2019 19:39

Between the two is rather AF - saves the cost of those pesky tests.

And normally I feel so rotten with PMT before AF it’s a sigh of relief that all will be normal again soon.

Always hated a BFN

I’ve just ordered some tests as I’m due on tomorrow (CD33) and still no sign of anything. Usually by now I’ve had some spotting but all that’s happened so far is a few weird pinchy feelings.

Hopeful2020 · 11/09/2019 18:18

@Chaosonthehorizon I think the age gap works out whatever it is, I have 8 years between my 2 which is longer than I'd have wanted, but it works great & just how things worked out.
Hormones are strange things, and it seems everything goes a but haywire as soon as you decide to TTC!
@Boymum1991 good luck, I think there's quite a few of us on here trying for #3 so you're in good company!
@teachermam well done for resisting! I'm desperate to test but waiting til tomorrow when I'll be 14dpo. Argh this drives you mad! Feeling like we could have cracked it this month, but don't want to get my hopes up.
I can never decide if it's worse to get a BFN test or for period to show up? Guess period is more final & game over for that month. Last time it came early & didn't even try being late so I didn't even get to test! 😱

Sweetpea12 · 11/09/2019 07:41

I’m too impatient only 9DPO and BFN for me will wait now until the weekend to test

Boymum1991 · 10/09/2019 22:36

Is it too late to join this thread? AF due at the weekend, trying for baby #3. Waiting til then to take either FRER or a digital (if I can be patient enough).
X

teachermam · 10/09/2019 22:16

Still hanging in here
Was really tempted to pick up some cheapies today but resisted as I'm not due til Saturday

My boobs always hurt before period until I had my chemical in may. Since then my boobs haven't been sore pre period

However they've been tender since Saturday so could be going back to. Normal or maybe a good sign

At same time feeling periods too

The 2nd week of tww is so hard

Chaosonthehorizon · 10/09/2019 19:28

Hopeful2020 youngest is 3 soon so am panicking about a bigger gap. This will be third/fourth month of trying and really thought we had managed it last month. Coming to the conclusion that brains and hormones are weird things. Just had my shortest cycle for years and now af seems to be rumbling on. Very odd. I also wait until I am late to test and then don’t have the sadness of a chemical

Hopeful2020 · 10/09/2019 17:19

@Woodlandwitch Oh dear sounds like a tricky one, a bit of a double edged sword, guess it happens when it happens either way.
Symptoms are so frustrating cos they could all be something or nothing, and I've found that you only really notice them properly when you look back on it.
Fingers crossed for you, either way!

Nicecupofcoco · 10/09/2019 16:55

@ALittleBitAlexis your not out yet! 10dpo is still early to test.... Says she who tested today at 9dpo! Grin bfn for me too!!

Woodlandwitch · 10/09/2019 16:29

Only probably with me is that, we decided to TTC so had my coil out in July.

But now I’m waiting on an operation in 5 weeks time and they won’t do it if I’m pregnant. So we have been tried to hold off this month to restart in October.
But by the time I realised about the OP it still could have been too late.

I hadnt been panicking too much about it as I have PCOS and took ages to conceive the first

Woodlandwitch · 10/09/2019 16:25

Thinking about it, I’m probably just exhausted due to running around a toddler.
I’ve been really hungry too.
But that could also be because tired.

I was like an eating machine throughout pregnancy the first time.

Woodlandwitch · 10/09/2019 16:24

This would be #2.

Number 1 I had noticeable implantation bleed, crazy dreams (of being pregnant) and needing th loo loads!

Hopeful2020 · 10/09/2019 16:16

@Woodlandwitch Ooh we're around the same point, I'm cd 26 out of 28/29. Are you going to test or hold out?! Is this your first? The exhaustion could be something, I was absolutely wiped out with my first but not so much with baby 2.
It's all so hit n miss, I had implantation bleed with baby 1 but nothing with baby 2, I don't normally get any spotting but I've had it a few times recently but still not been PG!
I've just felt a bit hungrier than usual & a bit gassy & burpy! 😂

Woodlandwitch · 10/09/2019 16:02

@Hopeful2020 no spotting this month for me yet either
Not too sure what I should think as other than being irritable and exhausted all the fine I haven’t had any other symptoms.

CD 31 for me today out of a normally 33 or 34 day cycle so I expect to at least get spotting tomorrow and then AF by end of week

Hopeful2020 · 10/09/2019 13:49

No spotting this month for me which I'm taking as a good sign, just had a tiny streak of brown the other day but that was all, nothing since so hoping that might have been something snuggling in... 🤞🏻
