TTC TWW November 2021

@kizzy97 yeah I’m trying to stick with every 2-3 days for now, just to cover as many days as possible, without driving ourselves mad! Some AF symptoms today, lower back pain, and a weird pain in my side!

Thanks for all the advice ladies, I've ordered some internet cheapies and a couple of FRER and they won't be delivered until tomorrow so earliest I will test will be Wednesday when il be 13DPO I think!

@winkles23 those lines look very positive to me! My friends have all said early reassurance scans have really helped them in leading up to the 12 week scan x

Never had a blood test to confirm my first pregnancy so I don't think it's the norm in my area. @winkles23 all of those lines are really good, they are def positive, I wouldn't worry at all about the variation in colour or darkness. X

@beckybabyx that sounds like what I had just this morning. It was just once though after FMU. I'm on 9 dpo and did feel a little bit of cramping a couple of days ago, but not reading too much into it. I'm not going to test until Thursday (12 dpo). Fingers crossed for both of us!

@Tinkerbell098 I don't think I could even call it spotting to be fair, it's literally a slight tinge of brown when I wipe (sorry TMI) - happened this morning when I wiped and then I've been to the toilet once at work today so far and it happened then too (although a bit less)

I am going to see how I feel tomorrow and maybe do another cheapie and then I could always pop to boots on the way home from work to get a FRER xx

@winkles23 that looks so promising. I wouldn't worry at all. I thought it was standard for the GP to run a blood test to confirm pregnancy so I'm surprised to hear they haven't done that for you.

@winkles23 - that's still strong to me, just a bit of a thinner line xx

@beckybabyx has the spotting stopped now? is it usual for you to get spotting a few days before AF? If it is unusual and you haven't had your AF by Wednesday, I'd definitely test.

I may do @Tinkerbell098, I might order one now and test on Wednesday morning. Do you think its worth doing? xx

@winkles23 I don’t think you have anything to worry about, they’re all strong lines. Would booking yourself in for a reassurance scan at 6/7 weeks help?

@winkles23 it still looks strong, so I wouldn't worry about it.

@beckybabyx are you going to ty with a FRER as you've got symptoms? the cheapie could be giving false negatives?

@winkles23 I think all of those lines look really strong, try not to stress and enjoy the moment (easier said than done I know)

Another BFN cheapie for me this morning at 12DPO and a very very tiny bit of spotting and more severe cramps so thinking AF may be on the way (usually my luteal phase is about 16 days) fingers crossed it’s IB but that’s wishful thinking xx

@melbxldn - ah I'm so sorry! xx

@Thedesirerainbow - welcome! Hopefully this month is your month! I'm not tracking with opks either just using my app. Good luck, everything crossed for you! xx

Hiya, I'm new here 😌

This is our 11months of trying to conceive for our first baby. Had quite a few faint positives in the past that needed up into AF showing up - how uncertain everything is..! Little I knew 🤦🏽‍♀️

I think I'm around 9dpo today. First month of not tracking with ovulation strips so not really sure where I am at as my cycles are normally between 27 days to 34.

Congratulations to those who got the positive! 🌈

All the best to the rest who are also in the two week wait xx

AF for me so I’m out but first cycle so knew it was unlikely. Good luck everyone!

@Tinkerbell098 - As I say I'm aiming to wait until weekend as that's when I'm due! The only thing that's effectively keeping me from testing early is because I'm too much of a chicken!

@mightbeyesmightbeno - Chin up! You're not out yet, still super early!

@1989gem - Welcome! Symptom spotting is an absolute nightmare! Fingers crossed I hope you get your bfp this month! :)

@Tinkerbell098 fingers crossed that’s a good sign for us both! And hopefully that brownish spot could be a sign of implantation around 9dpo 🤞🏻

Welcome @1989gem :) can recommend the Onestep internet cheapie tests - my usual theory is if I get a line on those I’ll use a frer. Good luck for this cycle - symptom spotting is just a nightmare 🙈 every little thing becomes a sign!

@mrsS21 I had period like cramping on 6dpo as well, which vanished by 7dpo. I am 9 dpo now and no symptoms whatsoever. Although I noticed a brownish spot when wiping FMU, which could be anything to be honest.

@1989gem welcome to the group. Symptom spotting is a nightmare. I get excited over every little thing, but I am also being realistic and trying not to get my hopes up too much. I think FRER is the go to test for most of us. You could also use internet cheapies, although I have never tried them, but should be able to give an early indication.

Between my two apps I’m either 6dpo or 7, have a period type feeling today, funny aches in abdomen. Sickness seems to have eased off, so not really sure what to expect this month :(

Hi ladies, I'm glad I've found you all, the TWW is horrendous! Think I'm 11DPO but petrified of doing a test so I'm leaving it a few days, symptom spotting is the worst and like a few of you have said, I am torn between staying positive and being realistic. What tests do you find the most accurate? x

Hang on in there @mightbeyesmightbeno it's super early xx

@kizzy97 @mightbeyesmightbeno we are in similar stages as I am also 9 dpo. I'm not testing until Thursday, but bet I'll be impatient by tomorrow!
