Mind if I join the wait with you too ladies? I'm due AF 27th this time always feels like the longest wait ever doesn't it, lockdown doesnt help when theres little to take your mind off it.
I must confess I am a total POAS addict and already started number 1 this morning even tho I knew it would be too early luckily I just use the cheap tests so plenty to spare. Trying for child number 2 cycle number 9 for us trying and have had 2 chemicals in that time, hoping 3rd time lucky with a sticky bean instead 🤞 wishing lots of baby dust for all x

Hi, I wanted to jump in too, i'm 9DPO but I have a short luteal phase so AF is due today :( POAS this morning and it was negative, not surprising, but i'm trying to keep my hopes up. It's been 18 months and I've not had so much as a whiff of a positive test yet. Can't begin to imagine how heartbreaking a loss is. Good luck to all of us xxx

mansah2 · 19/05/2020 13:34

I'm also 9 DPO. I've had 3 chemicals in the last 5 months and I'm terrified. Due for AF on Sunday! Let's see how it goes.

msanne · 19/05/2020 10:54

Hi Ladies,

Wanted to jump on too - AF is due for me on 23rd so a few more days to wait!

@emiliet123 and @Bl0ndeye so sorry for your losses. We too lost a baby at 15 weeks due to Edwards syndrome - terrible time in our lives but trying to be positive and try again now.

I've tested on 9dpo and 10dpo so far and both are negative. I'm hoping I'm just testing too early but know the reality is that AF may be on her way!

Sending you all lots of love

xx

Honestly, they look like shadows. I've been doing these tests for the last couple of months and I've never had any form of a line, shadow or otherwise which is the only thing giving me any hope. But I'm really trying not to get my hopes up!

When I had my DD I barely got a line when I was 17dpo so maybe it is just too early??

I can see them also ! Are they coloured though or grey ? Picture looks black and white x

@imhereforthecake thanks, at least it isn't just me.

I don't trust them yet though as I'm 13dpo and really you'd imagine they would be darker by now. I guess I will see if AF turns up tomorrow.

imhereforthecake · 19/05/2020 10:28

I can see something Smile

kirinm · 19/05/2020 10:28

I feel a bit embarrassed about posting them now as I really am struggling to see them!

kirinm · 19/05/2020 10:26

They're so faint, I'm not even sure I can see them anymore!

Show us pics @kirinm I'm sick of faint lines tho haha that's why I'm desperate not test early 😅 even tho I really want too.

@Chlo2701 I'm same but trying not too ... only in work twice this week and time is going to dragggggggg

kirinm · 19/05/2020 09:42

Oh @emilie I'm so sorry, I jumped straight onto this thread without properly reading. I can't imagine how difficult losing your baby at 24 weeks must have been.

kirinm · 19/05/2020 09:40

Can I join? I'm actually due on tomorrow. I've taken a couple of tests which have the faintest line or shadow I've ever had. I've read a lot of bad reviews of the cheap one step tests so I'm trying not to get my hopes up. Especially as I have had bad period pains and backache for several days.

I was lucky to have my DD in 2018 but before that I'd had 5 miscarriages. I'm also 42 so I think even if I am pregnant this cycle, I will be completely paranoid. I was with my DD and it was awful.

Chlo2701 · 19/05/2020 09:36

I'm due on this Sunday aswel! Currently 8dpo today. Got some frer & CB stashed in my wardrobe. Might cave & test Friday though🙈
@emiliet123 so so sorry to hear that, one of the worst things ever to go through, just unimaginable.
Let's all keep each other updated xx

imhereforthecake · 19/05/2020 08:54

@imhereforthecake welcome ! When are you AF?
@emiliet123 Erm if I'm due on Sunday does that make it 2 days or 3? It gets so confusing 🙃. That is weird haha noway lets hope it's a mad sign we will get pregnant at same time 😆.

OP posts:
imhereforthecake · 19/05/2020 08:35

I'm due on 29th.
I have pcos and been started on metformin which seems to be giving me regular cycles so far.
The 2WW is the worst.

emiliet123 · 19/05/2020 08:31

Thanks - it was rough 😖 still is!

Haha that is weird - and even weirder I used to get called Blondie when I was at college! Not a blonde anymore though 😂 I don’t know any other Emilies.

How many days before your AF is Friday?

Hey everyone. I’m due on 29th May so I’ll join you on this wait!

Lost a pregnancy at 24 weeks in January, it should have been her due date last Friday... and I was supposed to ovulate on the same day as well! I’m wondering if because we’ve had a little memorial now and shared her full story with the world that maybe my body will stop holding onto the stress of grief and maybe that will help with conceiving? It could also be nonsense.

I can massively empathise with you @Bl0ndeye, it feels like everybody is pregnant and I’m terrified of this happening again. I don’t know if I can actually do it! 😖 I’m sorry about your losses, too. It’s such a stressful time.

I’m wide awake and it’s 1am - my mind is on a loop of “I wish I could test now and just know... I’m so scared in case I am pregnant and I lose this one... I can’t go through it again... but I will never know unless we keep trying... I wish I could test now...” gah!

I think I’ll be testing early - probably from next Monday/Tuesday! Will have to order some FRERs from Amazon and hide them from the hubster... 🙈
