TWW. AF DUE 30/11 ANYONE ELSE IN THE TWW

@wackadoodle84 whoopsy already failed that one POAS about an hr ago and obviously got a BFN lol. Kinda feel like now I have more will power to hold out till Friday but let's see how it goes!

TWW is very long! Trying not to symptom spot but can't help it either. Every little twinge is being analysed hard haha. Seriously did not think I would be this obsessive about TTC! Glad I found this chat of others in the same boat

@NCON welcome! How are you finding the tww so far? Best of luck with holding off testing

Myself and @ScaredFlamingo need someone to set us a good example of resisting poas will power badly 😂

@wackadoodle84 We can do this!!

Can I join in? AF due 30th, TTC #1 first cycle. This 2 week wait malarkey is torture! Have a work party this Friday so will try a first response Friday morning, trying to hold out is so hard though lol. Fingers crossed for lots of BFP!

@ScaredFlamingo, if it makes you feel any better, I caved too! Also bfn... To be fair though we really should discount these as 1. We are testing too early and 2. Not with fmu.

Right, no more testing until Thursday, we can do this!

I caved. I tested. BFN.. 😢

@shuckle I have felt like I’ve got a mild hangover for the second half of the week and then today I thought I was going to hurl over my food.
I’m probably about 11dpo... I should hold off right??

@ScaredFlamingo I have also been really sicky feeling last couple of days, though I think it might just be a bit of a winter bug 😒 and had a horrible headache since I woke up today! Well done for holding off on the tests!

@wackadoodle84 I’m feeling very nauseous today.. almost threw up over my lunch with my Mum (who was eyeing me up suspiciously as I gagged slightly haha!) no one said anything but you could see what she was thinking. I’m trying hard to hold out on testing though!!

@VaggieMight you absolutely belong on this thread! I think the single hcg level won’t tell you much on its own but will provide a baseline at least, are they repeating in a few days? Hopefully it will rise nicely and no more spotting, fingers firmly crossed for you. I love the idea of an August thread 😍

@ScaredFlamingo well work is most definitely not distracting me today! Part of my job involves testing other people throughout the day, and I seem to be doing that all day today, on break at the moment and my coffee tastes off which of course I have taken to be a symptom of pregnancy (in reality it prob means we need to change the filter in coffee machine). On a positive note, I have not tested!

@ElizabethBennet3rd the names never come up for me either, I have to keep scrolling back to make sure I’m spelling the names right

Hope everyone else is getting through the 2 we okay

@VaggieMight that's a really good sign. Got my fingers crossed for you!! Make sure you have some "you" time and try not to worry as hard as it is. Aug/Sep 2020 babies group would be lovely wouldn't it? X x

@VaggieMight you have just as much right to be part of this group as everyone else...
I should probs be in the infertility groups but im here trying tl be positive.
I will just say that you hcg levels are consistent with good news.... I found this online "An hCG level of less than 5 mIU/mL is considered negative for pregnancy, and anything above 25 mIU/mL is considered positive for pregnancy. An hCG level between 6 and 24 mIU/mL is considered a grey area, and you'll likely need to be retested to see if your levels rise to confirm a pregnancy"

When I MC at 5 weeks my levels dropped down to around 5mlu 4ish days later...

At least with scans and blood work you know where you stand and it doesnt take long for results to come back. If always found it more reassuring personally.. but perhaps if this isnt our month we can restart a December ttc tread?
We don't always know the right thing to say or the correct answers but we're all here for you.
I'm here if you wanna off load and just vent, PM me x

@ElizabethBennet3rd it doesn't work for me either so I have to memorize the names and spellings and just type it in. Are you using the mums net app? I used the website on one occasion and that seemed to work bit not on the app

Today I'm CD31, 14 days past ovulation confined by CB opk and ultrasound. Pregnancy test Negative this morning so will retest in three days time time. I'm not out until AF shows right?!
Obviously a little gutted but just relieved to not be guessing and symptom spotting for the first day in weeks! I'm more gutted that i may have to go through all this again in a months time and another 2WW close to Christmas, the most stressful time of the year!! It's just physically and emotionally draining agh..

Anyone got any nice plans for the weekend?
Continuing to wish each and everyone of you the very best of luck for some positive results next week. Exciting times hey? Xxxxx

@Wackadoodle84 Yes! Let’s try and hold out...!!! And fingers crossed AF is taking a 9 month holiday!!!

@ElizabethBennet3rd Fingers crossed for you too! And it is sooo hard not to continually test but trying to keep reminding myself of reasons not to; too early, disappointments and £10 a time!! Haha!!
Also sometimes the name doesn’t come up on mine either, I just put @ and then write the name if it’s not in the list!

Ps...sorry, for some reason I can’t tag those that I’m replying to like the rest of you are! Maybe because I’m using my phone and not the Mac? It’s just only coming up with a few names when I put @ and not those I’m looking for. 🙈 clearly my inexperience at using these forums!

I’m so excited for you ladies! I feel like I’m getting over excited as I’m still only 6 months post DEPO and know that means I could still be pretty all over the place. Just wishful thinking but the boobies are so so sore tonight. Only thing I remember from my other two pregnancies (over 15 years ago 🙈) is the very frequent peeing...which I don’t have at all right now!
How on earth you all manage to resist testing is so beyond me. I’m far too easily swayed! I just hope these symptoms, along with the pinky CM are all good things!
Anyone experience these before only to find AF and not BFP?

Ok so, if you can last then Thursday then so can I ! Will have an array of sticks ready for weeing Thursday morning, that’s if AF doesn’t show up in the mean time

@wackadoodle84 I’ll get on that plan with you! I can test after Thursday and not before!

Yes I think if DH knew how much I think about it he would worry for my sanity 🤣

Right so, no more testing until at least AF due date, I may need to lock away the tests !

@ElizabethBennet3rd pink tinged cm sounds very promising !

@Wackadoodle84 Hahaha! It’s so easy to say “stay away from the tests” and so hard to actually do it lol!

Me and my partner said we’d keep it relaxed... he has no idea how much I think about it haha!

@ElizabethBennet3rd pink tinge is good, could be implantation 😁 I feel you on the wine, haven't got any at the moment though! Of course you should do what you're comfortable with but I've heard a lot about "drink til it's pink" - until the placenta is forming you can't pass on alcohol to baby so a glass of wine shouldn't do any harm 🍷

I’m trying to keep things as light and stress free as possible, myself and DH reckon if no bfp within 6 months then we will get bloods etc done. Definitely don’t want to get as stressed about it as we did before

As for testing, did one today just because it was there 🤦‍♀️ If I got my dates right for ovulation AF is due on the 28th

@Shuckle I’m going to have to follow your example and sit on my hands until the 28th
