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??

I see it! Congrats x

Emmgrem · 24/01/2021 11:08

Got a squinter this morning at 10DPO girls. Can you see anything?

I won't believe it until I see a digital but it's too early. I think I'll test tomorrow and Tuesday with FRERs again and see if it gets darker. My temps are still above 37 too

@TTCBaby1
Congrats!!!!!! So happy for you🌈🌈

Got BFP today, period is due tomorrow and I had no symptoms so tested! We had an early miscarriage in November so finding it hard to be excited for now... this was our first month TTC following this, feeling very blessed and hoping this is our rainbow after the storm x x

LauEli · 23/01/2021 21:23

@Emmgrem it was faint to start but 100% there, checked it after work and it was as bright as it could possibly be. Gonna use my last test on Wednesday then not test again. I used the clear blue early detection, pricey but just what was available in tesco. Good luck with your testing 😊 let's hope the odds are in everyone's favour!

Sesamechick · 23/01/2021 20:41

Really praying for all of our BFP! x

Sesamechick · 23/01/2021 20:40

@Emmgrem
Nope never tracked before. Was on BC when I got married, after 2 months we decided to try and fell pregnant right away. Same with #2, happened 1st month.
For #3 (big gap between #2 & #3...9years!) I was actually on BC for years, was visiting my family in USA, husband and I had a whole chat over the phone (he wasn't able to come with us to USA) and we decided I would stop taking BC while in USA and try for a baby when i returned. Stopped bc, got my period right away and then fell pregnant the day I returned to UK (august. She is a May baby)
Its bit different now as I'm older, more ahem, weight but who knows. I went off BC August but never tracked bc we just DTD whenever as Husband was away for work etc. I finally decided now to track Jan and see..... fingers crossed.
Sorry for the boring story!!
Its very tempting to use FRER tomorrow but I wont till at least Mon/Tue. Will keep teying cheap ones while i have them haha xxx

Emmgrem · 23/01/2021 20:20

@Sesamechick wow #4 and you've never tracked it before? You must be so in tune with your body and very fertile! Amazing 😊 everything crossed for tomorrow! Keep us updated. I think you'd be more likely to see it on a FRER and get a false negative on a cheapie as they aren't as sensitive but I get that you don't want to waste a test!

@LauEli Congratulations! How dark was your line at 11DPO and which test did you use?
I think I'll test in the morning if temp stays up- back pain is bad enough to need a hot water bottle now so it's either BFP or AF is coming a little sooner than planned I'd say

LauEli · 23/01/2021 18:33

@Sesamechick thank you so much 😊 I'm over the moon, although I'm rubbish and impatient, I renovated a whole house last time I was pregnant so it made time go so quickly this time will go so slow, especially because we've found out early on.
The best of luck to you when you do decide to test!
@Emmgrem have you tested?

Sesamechick · 23/01/2021 18:09

[quote Emmgrem]@Sesamechick I think I'll see what my temp does in the morning. I've got back pain today which I didn't get last cycle pre AF, but if my temp plummets I'll take it as an AF sign 🤷🏻‍♀️
If it stays high maybe I'll be tempted to use a FRER but not consider myself totally out if it's bfn.

Yes this will be my first. What about you?[/quote]
@Emmgrem

Oooo its so exciting but frustrating the TWW!
I have crazy symptoms but I keep teying to convince myself that its AF bc I get really down when I get a BFN. Ive had horrendous back pain, pressure in my tummy, feels achy rather than painful. Who knows!?
AF due Wed 27th so I'll do a cheap test tomorrow morning. Ive never tracked my temp or ovulation dates. Jan was the first month of doing so.
This hopefully will be #4 for us xxx

Sesamechick · 23/01/2021 18:05

@LauEli
WHAAAAHOOOOOOOOOOO so so so happy for you!! Yay!!! You must be thrilled.
Wishing you a healthy and easy pregnancy !
I did the FRER today but going to wait. Im going to feel like an absolute idiot if i get AF but really havent been feeling too well!
Going to do cheapie tomorrow and might save FRER for mon/tue? No idea! X

LauEli · 23/01/2021 17:47

@Sesamechick did you get the frers today are you gonna test with them or you waiting till Wednesday?
Tested this morning with cb early... Bfp 😊 11dpo today is

Emmgrem · 23/01/2021 17:47

Have you got any symptoms?

Sesamechick · 23/01/2021 17:32

@Emmgrem

Ahhh thats so exciting. Fingers crossed for you?
What do you think you'll do? Are you having any symptoms?
I'm going to keep doing cheap tests till AF due.
Is this your first? Xx

Emmgrem · 23/01/2021 17:24

@Sesamechick Yeah ov'd on the 14th jan.
Had a 13 day LP last month.

I don't know whether to test tomorrow or Monday/Tuesday.
A few people on here recently have had bfn at 10DPO on FRERs and then BFP at 11 or 12dpo.
But it would be nice to get my positive on a Sunday to have the day with my H to talk about it rather than a Monday when I won't be able to concentrate on work 😬🤷🏻‍♀️

Sesamechick · 23/01/2021 16:59

@Emmgrem hey!
Oohhhh we both due Wed. Do you know when you ovulated? Im only going by a strong positive ovulation test which was on Jan 15th.
Have you tested at all?
I used a cheap one this morning and was BFN.
So frustrating isnt it??!! X

Emmgrem · 23/01/2021 16:15

@Sesamechick what did you decide? My AF is due weds too!

Sesamechick · 23/01/2021 04:42

@LauEli
Awwww so sweet! 3 is such a cute age, love that stage.
Oh yes time goes by soooooo slow while waiting. I wish I didn't let it get to me so much and just be patient! Really frustrating.
Tested with a cheapy this morning and obv BFN. I'm getting 2 FRER delivered today. Not sure if it is worth testing with 1 today or waiting? AF due Wed.

LauEli · 22/01/2021 19:13

@Sesamechick he was 3 on Halloween 😊 yes use fmu, it rests my mind knowing it'll be the strongest result I suppose.
Time seems to stop when we're waiting for something so important doesn't it!

Sesamechick · 22/01/2021 16:38

@LauEli

This hopefully would be #4. How old is your child? With them also I somehow managed to test on or after AF due/late. I dont know what is wrong with me this time around haha
I tested this morning and thought i saw a v v v faint line but who knows. Probably dreaming it! Going to use a cheap test tomorrow morning. Do you do FMU?
Husband doesn't even know I'm testing now. I stopped BC in August but we had a hard few months so hardly DTD around Ovulation time until this month. I would just love to be able to surprise him with a +. He has no idea when I'm due on hahaha he feels it may take us longer this time around x

LauEli · 22/01/2021 16:14

@Sesamechick. Ooh exciting stuff! Good luck 😁 is this first baba or have you got others?
With first I only took two tests, both positive but I needed to see it for a second time ha!
I've got work every morning now till Tuesday but might test tomorrow morning anyway Smile
Did you get a line? My Tuesday negative I think i saw one but hub said no!

Sesamechick · 22/01/2021 16:07

@LauEli

I feel pretty much the same as you! Also have terrible lower back pain and crampy legs. No idea why? I always feel silly saying what I'm feeling bc then I feel like an idiot if/when I get AF. So difficult bc symptoms so similar! I tested today but i think i saw what I wanted to see but obv not confident enough to be sure lol i have 4 more cheap ones plus i just ordered 2x FRER which are coming tomorrow. I'm addicted to POAS hahaha
Good luck to you and let us know how you get one xxxx

LauEli · 22/01/2021 15:55

@Sesamechick I tested Tuesday, negative. But that was early obviously, I feel different to af symptoms. Tired, achy boobs, dull ache in tummy. Pretty similar to what I felt with my first. Sending dh off to tesco to get tests later 😁
How are you feeling?
