TWW - let’s keep each other sane!

Officially in the tww after a temp spike yesterday morning and this morning. I’m around 2dpo today, we are onto cycle 4 of ttc baby no 1 which isn’t a long time really but feels like a lifetime. Really hoping this is my month 🤞✨

Usually I go mad googling symptoms and driving myself crazy during the whole wait only for AF to show each month so thought I’d change it up and make a wee thread for people also in the tww. We can all keep each other sane!! Feel free to join everyone is welcome!

Randomly decided to test tonight, of course another BFN 😔

Ginini · 21/01/2021 18:13

AF was supposed to arrive today but no sign, trying not get my hopes up too much as I'm on cycle 8 and I've had 2 longer cycles before!

@Grace185 thank you I can't believe it I swore I was out yesterday I just felt nothing literally had 0 symptoms all tww except some mild cramps on days 8-9. Must've been implantation

Took an FRER and I think I'm definitely pregnant. I can't believe it I'm in shock. Yesterday I was sure I was out with how bad I felt

@strangerontheinternet yeah I woke up with such a sore throat and streaming eyes and and breathless (I do have asthma which gets worse when I've got a cold) so trying to remain calm and test tomorrow morning with FMU

@Dex1521

11dpo. Do these look like v faint BFP or indents. I can't tell l. I've gone all shaky at the thought they could be positive and need someone to confirm or give me a reality check 😂
I can see it! How exciting x

@Dex1521 I've heard a lot of people sore throat/cold etc just before BFP as your immune system drops. I know when I found out Tuesday I FaceTimed my bf and my hands were properly uncontrollably shaking 😂 I'm sticking around here a little bit, as I'm cautious so I did 3 tests Tuesday morning with FMU all positive so I didn't do any yesterday and I think AF would have been due today so I did another IC and a another clear blue digital this morning as that would be 48jrs since last tests and 14dpo. My IC wasn't any darker I don't think and my CB digital still said 1-2 weeks I thought it would have been more like 2-3 or 3-4 today. Does anyone know what I should expect?

@strangerontheinternet I'm trying not to get my hopes up. Will definitely use a FRER with FMU tomorrow but oh my god I'm shaking like a leaf and I've no idea why 😂 definitely thought I was out I've had a cold for a few days, a killer mouth ulcer and I got a Bartholin cyst on my vajayjay (don't google they're horrid) so my immune system has been non existent these past couple of days

@Dex1521 I see lines on both I think congrats are in order 😬🤞🏻 I did a cheapie first I think the same as your pink one it was the easy at home strips then I saw a faint line so using the same wee did a frer and got a clear positive snd much darker than the cheapie cause the cheapie is like 10 (strength per urine or something but I don't know the unit of measurement) and frer is 6 so frer detects better if that makes sense. Then I also did a clear blue digital with the same wee at got pregnant 1-2 weeks. This was at 12dpo. If you have a frer and still have your wee I'd do it, if not frer with FMU tomorrow!

ree348 · 21/01/2021 10:15

I think the pink dyes are just easier to spot over the blue dyes. I can see lines in both though. The pink it a lot clearer though.

Would it be possible to get a BFP on a cheapie before a branded test? I've got one CB and FRER left I'll maybe use the FRER tomorrow

Grace185 · 21/01/2021 10:11

@Dex1521 I can def see a line of the cheapie and think maybe on the other one :) have you got more for tomorrow?

ree348 · 21/01/2021 10:10

@ree348 it’s a mind field isn’t it! My left pelvic pain has got worse this morning and I’m starting to want to know if I should be worried or if it’s even related!

ree348 · 21/01/2021 09:26

@Grace185 @AmberGee I had cramps, back pain (still have that) and sore boobs. All seem to have disappeared now bar the back pain but I think that's because af is due early next week. Think I'm out this month!

Grace185 · 21/01/2021 08:15

@ree348 and @AmberGee all my ‘strange’ symptoms have seemed to have gone too and been replaced with af cramps so I feel like she might be on her way 🙄 (due tomorrow)

AmberGee · 20/01/2021 23:35

@ree348 what symptoms did you have and when did they disappear? What were they like?? Strong? Mild?
