2 week wait

I’m 6 DPO and it’s totally ridiculous that I did a test this morning... with a cheap supermarket test that only shows positive above 25mlU. Obviously negative... so I’ve ordered some more sensitive ones from amazon!! I’ll test again on Friday.

Good luck everyone xx

Oh I see sorry @emvy I misunderstood. You feeling under the weather? Must be frustrating not being able to pin point when O was.
Sorry about the bfn ladies 😞
I had the worst night sleep last night. I'm 8dpo today and I kept half waking up with the worst period pains ever. But it wasn't actually waking me up completely as I was so tired. It felt like I was coming on for sure which is unlike me as my lp is always 13 days. And now today I've got a slight pinching feeling on my right side. So odd. Has anyone ever experienced this?

Morning all,

Sorry @MrsLBear I meant I felt feverish rather than my temp relating to ovulation etc. It was really high! My mcs were when we were trying for DS, I’ve not had an official cycle yet as I’m still bf DS overnight, although lots of symptoms to suggest things could be starting to get going again thank god.

I caved and tested this morning, not like me at all but I felt so odd, I just had to. Needless to say, bfn with a fr. Who knows whether I ovulated 2 weeks ago like I thought, possibly not. With no periods to go on it’s really hard to tell. I’m hopeful af is on her way so we can crack on with next cycle and I know for sure I’ve got some sort of fertility going on! I might test again in a week or 2 if I’m still waiting but I’m out for the time being!

@Lily2020 I’ve always used fr and had reliable results but recently I’ve read a lot about false positives! So I got panicky and bought some One Step as well.

@babybumpfor2020, welcome and I hope you get a bfp closer to af!

@RiverRoo, really hopeful you get a bfp too!

@emiliet123 and @babyG123, I’ve been mega symptom spotting but it’s done me no good at all, to the point where I was surprised when I got a bfn this morning 😂🙈 oh gosh!!

Morning,

I'll join 12dpo (I think) from bbt chart and heart rate due af on sat/sun.

BFN this am not looking hopeful as heart rate dropped to normal now.

Fingers crossed for some BFP for you ladies

13 DPO and still a negative test using First Response. I’m still optimistic I will see a BFP in the next week or so!!

@PlanBea FF is very basic but once you get used it to it's so simple and easy to read too.

@Lily2020 sorry that happened to you! Think I'll try and wait!

@emiliet123 oh don't even get me started 🤣 not Particularly looking out for symptoms but I've been so moody (so I've been told 🤣) but like I've said this end I'm stuck home!!! and from 1dpo have felt sick so much so I thought I had a bug coming. Feeling much better since lunch today (4dpo) so if it was a bug ive hopefully passed without actually being sick.

Hey guys, I’ve had such a weird day, just thought I’d share with you all as a bit of a sounding board!

I’m bone tired, mood swingy, constantly starving and feeling a bit bloated. Am I PMS or symptom-spotting? 😖 I wish it was easier to tell. I’d say it’s PMS but it’s a little early for that as I’m not due til Sunday and don’t often get it until a day or two before.

Hello to all the new people - love reading your stories, fingers crossed for you all xx

@Lily2020 am I right in thinking you posted saying FR was positive 11dpo? But then not? In 2 minds to get them

Hey, 4dpo and due AF on 8th 🤞🏼

@MrsLBear it's a thermometer which does have an app too. It calculates everything for you, which I liked when starting with temping. I tried fertility friend for a bit but didn't really like it. Might need to try it again!

@emvy what was your temp this morning? I don't think they are reliable during the day cos of movement etc. Don't think I've asked this - just scrolled back to check. How many DPO are you? Sorry if I have.
Were you tracking ovulation after your miscarriage? I was really torn after mine whether to pause or not and I can't even remember what we did now (was 14 months ago) but I've heard you're supposed to be more fertile after. How long were you TTC before you miscarriage?

I'm now having a mental battle with myself whether to get some tests in for the weekend.

@PlanBea I considered ovusense but feel like cos I find temping pretty accurate it's a lot of money to spend. Have you tried inputting your temp into another app. I use fertility friend and have find it very accurate. I've not heard of daysy. Is it an app? With a thermometer?

Thanks @emvy I’m keeping my fingers crossed. Stories like yours give me hope it’s possible!

Thanks @emvy

I’m not sure if we’ll TTC if this month isn’t a BFP. We’ve never talked about having 3 DC. I keep thinking about the chaos when I watched “Outnumbered” 😂

Well done for breastfeeding your LO for so long. I did 15 months each with my 2 DC and it was only when they started nipping with tiny teeth that I stopped haha

@emvy my temp is lower than previous temps this cycle so it looks like my high was just from sleeping in late. If it was just below cover line I'd be more optimistic. I'm hoping I'm being pessimistic but it seems unlikely

@RiverRoo, I’m with you on that! Running around after a 2yo and working from home is keeping me away from the tests! Busy is best! Best of luck for Thursday.

Welcome @alwaysadreamer, hope this is the month for you! When TTC DS, I had a miscarriage at 6 weeks and went on to conceive DS the following month without a period inbetween. I hope this happens for you too!!

@Sho2207 best of luck to you too!

@MrsLBear it’s typical how you had less symptoms with pregnancy than af! I’ve actually had a high temp for 24 hours now. It was 37.7 an hour ago but after paracetamol it’s come down to 37.2 so still pretty high but within normal. I’m feeling really torn whether it’s just slightly high from pregnancy or there’s more to it... but worried tbh. I’m going to test in the morning as I’m worrying about the high temp! Not sure what testing will do but going to do it anyway 😬

@PlanBea I don’t think your temp going down is necessarily a definite out? I’m sure someone who has more experience of temping will know more though.

Welcome @Helena79, wow that’s a turnaround! I hope you’ve been lucky and caught! Are you going to continue TTC after this if you missed it? Best of luck!

Hello all - I’m currently 5 DPO. We’re weren’t actually TTC, but I’m in the TWW. We’ve got 2 lovely DC and I had a MMC, as well as PND after my littlest was born.

We got carried away last week and didn’t use any contraception. I automatically freaked out and took the MAP same day, as I’ve felt too tired and worried about PND again to think about another baby... but now I keep thinking that actually I wish I hadn’t taken the MAP (I’ve recently turned 40, so realistically it’s now or never).

So I’ve gone from the ridiculous situation of thinking how to prevent pregnancy to now hoping I am!! So I’ll be testing Sunday if I can wait that long!!

Which tests is everyone else planning to use? I’ve just bought Asda own brand, which I’ve now read are unreliable. Maybe I’ll see what the result is and then buy a branded one

I think I'm out already. My Daysy from temp tracking said I ovulated, my CM changed, it was all looking good, and the last two days my temp has been way down so looks like another anovulatory cycle.

Has anyone tried ovusense for temping? I've liked using Daysy but I keep getting unreliable readings (it told me I'd ovulated despite my temps not changing and the GP blood test showed I hadn't). They've got 25% off at the moment so wondering if it's a worthwhile investment.

@emvy before there only symptom I had was extremely vivid dreams and a severe lack of symptoms that I'd normally second guess but like they say everyone is different (pregnancy I mean). I got sore boobs but only around 6 weeks and my god did they hurt.

Hi @Jenz1988 sorry your treatment got cancelled. Covid is ruining so much and so many lives.
Yes definitely upload your photo! Fx for you!

Hello to all the new ladies!!! Let's hope we see some BFP in this thread 🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼

@emiliet123
Thank you!
@MrsLBear
Mines always around 28-29 day cycles, I'm averaging that AF will be around the 8th-10th of may but if it doesn't start straight away won't be rushing to poas because it could well just be late due to the mc

Hi, I’m joining too if that’s ok? Had a miscarriage at 5 weeks in feb so my cycles not as regular as normal, but I should be due next week and I’ve had sore boobs/nipples for the last 6 days which I’m hoping is a good sign!

@emiliet123 Coping well. Running around after a 2 year old is enough to keep my mind active and away from the drawer with the pregnancy tests. I’m fairly relaxed as I haven’t been TTC for too long. I imagine it gets harder and harder the more drawn out the process. Looking forward to Thursday though (when AF is due) but nervous that AF won’t show and I will still get a BFN. That feels cruel as it’s just a perpetual state of limbo! Thanks for asking xx

Hi everyone! Sending positive thoughts and baby dust to all for some bfps this month!

@Imgp, it sounds hopeful with the missed period and cm, hard to tell for sure with having come off the pill recently. My cycles were all over the place for so so long. Maybe just keep testing every few days or however long you can wait? You might not have ovulated for definite then or have a long luteal phase maybe.
