@katieFH I would try again in a couple of days and if it’s still only very faint I would ring the doctors and ask them to test you.

KatieFH · 01/07/2020 10:21

@helia I’ll keep testing but thought I was out this month! Crazy if it starts showing up so far after AF due. Wonder what that means.

@purley thanks I’ll test again tomorrow and see, I have lots of cheapie tests that detect early but also have FFER which is showing even fainter line!
Awh 12 years since you last did this! Very exciting!!!

Purley · 01/07/2020 10:12

@KatieFH I can see some lines for sure, test again tomorrow?

@helia Yes it's our first month trying, I have a DD with a previous partner but she's almost 12 now, this feels all brand new to me!

helia · 01/07/2020 10:01

That's exciting, @KatieFH! Keep testing?

@Purley Is it your first month too? It's ours - we're trying to conceive DC#2 (our first child is nearly 4).

KatieFH · 01/07/2020 09:17

Hi guys I’m getting extremely faint lines on a few tests now but barely even visible, not sure if this is just evap lines or not!
I’m 6 days over AF due.

Best of luck @Lauralozzle!! 🍀

Lauralozzle · 01/07/2020 06:41

Well, cross hairs this morning. FF reckons I’m 3dpo today, I reckon I’m 4 but given my luteal phase is pretty much 11/12 days I guess I’ll find out!

Timing this cycle was much better, so I at least feel like we’re in with a chance this month but I do not have my hopes up. I definitely think if there’s nothing this month, I should make an appointment with the doctor to get things rolling as it’s been a year now.

notyetamumbuttrying · 30/06/2020 22:26

@Suki2020 I'm in the tww too. 9dpo and have quite bad pms so can't really symptom spot as it's always AF 😫

That's how I feel too @Lauralozzle! Hate bloody progesterone. I feel crazy today!

Hope everyone's good!

Suki2020 · 30/06/2020 22:25

@Lauralozzle my symptoms vary each cycle. Last cycle I had loads of symptoms this cycle I’ve only really had sore boobs that’s it.

Purley · 30/06/2020 22:12

@helia We are the same, DTD every other day so not too much pressure too early! I can't help but hope, need to relax! Wishing you lots of luck!

Lauralozzle · 30/06/2020 19:51

@Suki2020

Just in the 2WW - reckon I’m 3dpo. Temps are a bit over the place but I can see a rise. Hoping I’ll get cross hairs tomorrow on FF.

I’ve had very mild cramps today and boobs feel sore - not had that for a while, but it literally means nothing as some months have more symptoms for others. I put it down to the progesterone!

KatieFH · 30/06/2020 18:27

@suki2020 Around 18 according to the app xx

Suki2020 · 30/06/2020 18:25

@KatieFH a 2 decimal thermometer is best. Maybe take another pregnancy test in a few days. How many DPO are you?

KatieFH · 30/06/2020 17:22

@suki2020 I took the clearblue ovulation tests and ovulated at the time it said I should, well I got a high but never got a peak but only tested once a morning so may have missed the LH surge on tests. So I think ovulation was the usually time at 14 days ish.
Can I use a normal thermometer to temp?

Thanks so much for helping x

Suki2020 · 30/06/2020 17:11

@katieFH I find it help me keep track of my cycles much better but not everyone likes doing it. Do you think you may have ovulated slightly later as your 5days late but still get a negative pregnancy test?

KatieFH · 30/06/2020 16:41

@suki2020 I don’t actually! Would that help?

Suki2020 · 30/06/2020 16:37

@KatieFH do you temp?

helia · 30/06/2020 16:31

CD13 here and my cycles are between 26 and 29 days (averaging out at 28 and consistently so for the last 4 months). Time to get cracking... It's our first month trying and we're taking it easy, aiming to DTD every other day.

Hope your cycle starts soon @KatieFH.

Good luck to everyone in the TWW!

Purley · 30/06/2020 16:07

Thank you @Suki2020! Hope you get your BFP this time round too Smile It's been so long since I was pregnant I don't even know what to look out for, and all pregnancies are different, I was very crampy and super tired but not until AF was due so will have to see in a couple of weeks

@KatieFH sending you positive vibes, it's easier said than done trying not to stress!

KatieFH · 30/06/2020 15:17

Hi guys! AF was due 25th and still not arrived but BFNs every day! Think stressing is causing my AF to be late but I just want it to come so I can start again 😩

Suki2020 · 30/06/2020 15:07

@2020mission I’ve been off the pill 2yrs and we just said if it happens it happens but I didn’t start tracking my cycles until last sept/Oct. I now temp and do OPKs each cycle alongside taking folic acid, vitamin D and Agnus castus.
@Purley hopefully it will be a BFP first cycle for you

2020mission · 30/06/2020 15:01

@Suki2020 5th cycle for me. Have you been tying long?

Purley · 30/06/2020 14:59

@Suki2020 I'm 5 DPO, this is only our first try so I don't want to get my hopes up!

Suki2020 · 30/06/2020 14:46

@purley, how many DPO are you?
