Two Week Wait Buddies

*symptoms

13 DPO and this morning I've done another FRER and I'm not sure if there's a faint line, I think I can see something but DH doesn't. However, he couldn't see the line previously and now she's 8! So not sure I trust his eyes.
I would post a pic but I can't pick the line up in a picture, it's so faint and you have to squint and hold it at a certain angle.
Do you just think I'm just seeing things? Like DH said - if I was pregnant the line would probably be stronger 🤷🏻‍♀️

I feel nauseous, sore full boobs, cervix is high and soft. But then again if those sympathetic were caused by pregnancy hormones there should be enough hormone for a FRER test to pick it up properly.

Maybe I just want it so bad I'm seeing lines which aren't there.

[quote Magnum99]@Mom1of2 so sorry to hear the sad news, I know a few people who have been through IVF and I know how much it takes out of you.

My lovely app sent me a notification this morning saying "your period is on its way". Yeh thanks for that! 😩

Am I right in thinking cervix is usually firm before AF and soft if you're pregnant?
Mine is pretty soft, well it's kind of firm in the middle but soft and squidgy around the outside. Sorry TMI I know, but where else can I talk about this? 😂
I've got another FRER but I don't dare test again after the disappointment I felt last time, I'd rather just wait and see if AF arrives. [/quote]
I love cervix checking! Mine is high and soft at 10dpo, but don't know how long before AF it's meant to change. I can't seem to find much info from others though

AF is here today! I am actually relieved because I know where I am, the nausea has lifted and I feel less ‘hormonal’. CD1, new hope goes into my eggs for my next fertile window! I have a ferti lilly cup to try this time

Baby dust to those of you still waiting and testing

@Mom1of2 sorry for your bad news. The bfns really do suck

@Curlymam88 thank you 😊 fingers crossed for you for the weekend! I'm really tempted to book for ours 6th week, likely 6+6 as that's DH birthday. His idea.. I just hope it's all okay and we have a great day! I asked the clinic and they seemed confident that if dates are right that 6 weeks would see with an internal scan. I know it won't look much on screen but there isn't too much diff between scans I've looked at online for 6/7/8 weeks really.. seems to be a big change around 10-12 but I'd have the NHS one then.

I've continued to have light cramps and dizziness.. boobs still bigger than normal but not sore. No sickness at all. Was really worried today about the cramps, they are exactly the same as other days but felt wet a few times (Lol tmi) and panicked running to the loo.. but all seems ok. Wonder when the worry will stop.. need to trust that it's going to be fine this time 🤞🏼

How's everyone's symptoms?

@Mom1of2 so sorry you've not had good news today. Hope you and your partner are okay xxx

But @Sparrowfeeder there is a line on your test?!

Thanks @liland I think I will if AF doesn’t arrive and still testing negative.

@Sparrowfeeder is it worth contacting your GP to rule out ectopic? I don't know much about them admittedly.

It is a horrible rollercoaster. It amazes me how much women go through (not all I know). I wish I could spread hope to you all but I am lacking it myself right now

@Liland I am having a weird 2ww because I had a ridiculously early bfp at 7dpo (!) (see pic - it was pink so not evap) that disappeared at 8dpo, fine I can deal, that’s a chemical etc. Testing negative ever since, sad but fine. But then my symptoms are not going, which they really should do. I am weepy and the nausea is increasing so I ate only plain rice for lunch and I threw up my dinner. Food poisoning not likely. Just at a loss to understand what is happening ‘tis all.

So sorry @Mom1of2
It's a horrible rollercoaster of emotions. Yesterday even though I'd had my blood checked and knew I wasn't pregnant I felt so sick and convinced myself I maybe still could be pregnant. I'm deffo not im just going crazy.

So, bloods came back, its a BFN. Yhat was We're now discussing if another IVF round is financially viable 😔

Good luck and baby dust to you all. Xxx

Im 12dpo same as everyone else. Twinges and feeling sick but negative on my cheap preg test this morning. Af due any day up until next Thursday. This is my first cycle since my TFMR in December so not sure when to expect it. Very teary this week, can't help thinking this week I would have been having my 20 week scan and finding out the gender. Currently out in the fresh air trying to clear my mind about it all

@Sparrowfeeder @Magnum99 I guess it still could happen. I think i was 12dpo when I found out with my ds? It's just so disheartening. I feel like I've waited so long to start trying again at my DP's preference, and I just want it to be now!

@Sparrowfeeder I know, I didn't realise I was pregnant with my son until I was 7 weeks as 1) I didn't think we'd DTD at the right time in the month so thought was impossible 2) I was getting spotting and aches and cramps so was convinced AF was coming.
It was only when I saw my nurse about something else and she asked when my last period was she was like " let's do a test". I felt such an idiot sat there saying I'd been TTC, not had a period for 7 weeks but I couldn't be pregnant 🤣

I just think I probably would have got a faint BFP yesterday if I am pregnant. I suppose could be late implantation, but I just don't feel pregnant.

Last night I drowned my sorrows with a Chinese take away, wine and chocolate.

@Magnum99 cramping pains can be a good sign though! The time I did get pregnant I was in shock as I was 100% convinced AF was coming. It’s not over yet...

@Liland I'm in exactly the same boat, also 11dpo, also DTD loads at the right time. BFN on FRER yesterday, AF due around Saturday. Also had lots of cramps 7dpo, so much so that I had to have a hot bath and some paracetamol, so really thought it was implantation. But I can feel AF brewing, wouldn't be surprised if it turns up tomorrow.
Gutted 😞

@Liland I know it is so hard, every month and worse without the normal life distractions as we are in lockdown.

I find the random symptoms and the testing so unsettling when I just want certainty past a certain point. I just want to know where I am! If this is not my month, honestly please can AF get on with it

Jumping on this thread because I'm bummed out. 11dpo, AF due Monday. Another BFN this morning using the One Step tests :( I really thought this was the month, lots of DTD in the right window, and weird cramps at 7dpo. I hate the uncertainty of TTC.

Well, the plot thickens, my nausea is worsening, I threw up all my dinner last night. I am starving but can’t quite bring myself to eat. I am crying at really minor silly things when normally pms for me looks like rage rather than tears. Various tingles and pains in intimate areas. Mild intermittent cramps, sore boobs but could be pms.

AND still testing negative at 14dpo! AF due in window from today until Sun (mc messed up my cycle length) so it’s anyone’s guess...!

I am going with bfn for now (but if so, some v. unusual hormonal stuff is happening so I might need to monitor that...).

How is everyone else getting on?

@Horehound definitely! We do cheap tests early but when they are negative we don't believe them because they are only cheapies so then spend more money on expensive tests but then don't believe them as we've done it too early.
Bloody minefield!

I agree with you @Magnum99 next time we try I'm not testing until the two weeks. My husband said what's the point anyway, you want to be sure not squinting at tests!
And I think we have more chance if we feel more relaxed! Hard though

I should get a result sometime after 2pm... 🤞

I'm just hoping I was daft to do it with diluted urine 😫
