I'm a few days into the two week wait and hoped there was a few others in the same boat so we could help each other get through the next couple of weeks! AF due on the 29th of Jan, anyone in a similar place??

@Lisyloo725 they're so expensive aren't they 😳 I've done 5 clear blue tests so a small fortunes worth 😂 I'm too impatient for amazon though even if it is next day delivery.

Lisyloo725 · 30/01/2021 20:36

Aaa congrats @LauEli - booking appointment scheduled -that’s so exciting!!!! I’m feeling really woozy today - kinda sicky/dizzy all day which im excited about. Hopefully it’s a sign.
I’ve ordered some first responses, coming tomorrow. They’re much cheaper on Amazon than in boots where I’ve usually bought them from! 🙄

@Lizzysmi keep busy and it’ll fly by! Fingers crossed for you hun x x x

LauEli · 30/01/2021 16:40

On Monday 😂 sorry I've lost the plot, was on a night shift last night

LauEli · 30/01/2021 16:39

@Lizzysmi thank you 😊 I'm sure your tww will go quick! Can't believe it's February tomorrow already

Lizzysmi · 30/01/2021 15:51

So hope everyone still waiting gets their bfp. I’m jumping on this thread if that’s ok even though my wait is loooong - AF not due until around the 9th Feb- bit after yours @Lisyloo725. So great to hear of your success @LauEli

I hope your lines (which looked good to me) get darker @Emmgrem

I find this part so tricky - and end up spending loads of money on tests that I use too early. Really praying I’ll get positive outcome this month as my husband starts chemo next month which will put us out of action for a long time. Best of luck to you all.

@ChloM1234
Hey. How long are your cycles normally? Im feeling similar to you, i had some cramps Wednesday and i thought AF was coming. They have settled, now I just feel weird lol. My cycles are normally between 25-29 days. Currently im on CD31. I had a peak later this month at CD21.
When is your AF due? Have you tested?

Sparkles512 · 30/01/2021 15:06

Hi Ladies, still no AF and I don't feel like it's going to appear either, I usually have stomach ache and crave loads of chocolate but not this month!

I'm wondering if my cycle might be slightly longer this month but even so I would have thought I'd still have my usual cramps and carvings?

How's everyone else feeling?

LauEli · 29/01/2021 23:18

@ChloM1234 got my bfp last Thursday and all good upto now 😁 just waiting on some symptoms I suppose. Still doesn't feel real really.

@Emmgrem that's good news, hopefully get some darker lines on 15dpo. I didn't have any implantation blood at all, but I didn't with number 1 either so not too worried about that. You feeling any different?

@Lisyloo725 hello 😁 welcome, the 5th will come round so quick, my two week wait seemed to fly, and here I am 8 days post positive, booking appointment booked and reading up like I've never had one before. I seem to have forgotten everything in 3 years 😂

Lisyloo725 · 29/01/2021 19:44

Fingers* (doh)

Lisyloo725 · 29/01/2021 19:44

Fingered crossed for everyone!!!! So nice to read your thoughts etc from the last few weeks. I’m 7dpo and desperate to conceive (following a MC and ectopic last year) oh yeh as well as turning 40!
Anyhow, AF due next Friday -5th Feb so I have aaaaages before I can even do a FR test.
...I’ve gone off wine tho...which is verrrry odd and unlike me!

Sparkles512 · 29/01/2021 19:28

Urgh another BFN! 😭

Fingers crossed for everyone testing soon 🤞

Emmgrem · 28/01/2021 21:57

@Sparkles512 @ChloM1234 you're still not out!

@LauEli thanks for asking ☺️ AF was due today, still hasn't arrived and temps high, plus I did have a few tiny dots of spotting 2 days ago. I haven't tested since 12dpo so testing tomorrow morning at 15dpo 🤞
If I get a bfn then I'm wondering about whether it could've been a chemical pregnancy as they delay AF a bit I think

@LauEli AF is due tomorrow and pretty sure it will show up as I did a FRER 4 days ago that was a clear negative! How are you doing?

OP posts:
LauEli · 28/01/2021 21:30

@Sparkles512 I'd still test, your not out till she gets here!

LauEli · 28/01/2021 21:29

@ChloM1234 @Emmgrem how's things going?

Sparkles512 · 28/01/2021 19:39

How is everyone?

I was hoping to test tomorrow at 12 DPO but have had clear/creamy discharge today so think I'm out this month and AF will appear over the weekend 😢

Fingers crossed for everyone testing 🤞

@Emmgrem I would say that line is slightly darker than the one in the last pictures you posted..how many days until AF?
I stupidly caved and used a FRER test yesterday afternoon which was a clear negative and only 4 days till AF so I guess I am out this month

OP posts:
Emmgrem · 26/01/2021 09:13

The line is back again today (12dpo) but no darker than the 10DPO line! What is going on?! 😩 Surely it should be darker by now...

3 days into the TWW and already struggling!!

@ChloM1234 yep a FRER 🤔 so disappointing and confusing. Some people say they work better in the evenings so I may have to try again and then stop wasting my money after that!

Based on my experience now I would hold off until 12dpo if you can! It drives you mad with line eyes any earlier than that..

Hi @Emmgrem, did you use a FRER test this morning? When is your AF due? Mine's due on Friday I'm. Really tempted to take an early test today but not sure if I'm best just to wait!

OP posts:
Emmgrem · 25/01/2021 10:49

So I tested again this morning 11DPO and it hasn't got any darker, it's not even as good as in that pic I sent on here yesterday. Still barely visible unless you squint and shine a light! Very frustrating.. but I know hcg is meant double every 48 hours and also some people say they get better results with afternoon testing 🤷🏻‍♀️ so tempted to try that!

Sesamechick · 24/01/2021 11:28

@Emmgrem ((hugs))

Emmgrem · 24/01/2021 11:25

Omg you guys, the more people I hear say it the more I believe it 🙈 I'm still not convinced until I see it on a digital but thank you all!

LauEli · 24/01/2021 11:23

@Emmgrem I see it.. Woo!! Congrats 😊

Sesamechick · 24/01/2021 11:18

@Emmgrem
I see it!! So exciting. Congrats!!! 💗💙
