Hey.

I am in the 2ww and struggling so much this time, much more than usual!! I'm only 5po ish. I feel so stressed and like time is going past so slow. I've even tested 🤦‍♀️ which I know it's far too early so don't know why I even done it 😂. I don't think it has worked this month I don't know why I just feel I know. Is anyone else in the wait?? How do you cope ? Xx

@Agapanthus13 since June. I only two months left I think.

Temp dropped a lot this morning and AF was there soon as I got up. Don't know how much longer I can take x

@J90A sorry to hear that. How long have you been on clomid? You’ll get there eventually I’m sure. Are you also LH testing to help pinpoint OD? Not sure if it’s any help, but the app I use says to take your temp with the same 2hr slot each morning & says you need to have not got up or woken up in the 2hrs before that. To be honest, your graph is looking pretty spot on though, looks like you’ve done a good job testing!

@MrTumblesEyebrows sorry to hear of your miscarriage. Fingers crossed this month is your one!

@2mumlife that’s exciting, not too much longer for you to wait. Have you transferred before?

J90A · 29/12/2021 06:49

My temp dropped today so AF on her way I'm gutted. I'm finding this so hard. Feel like it's never gona happen xx

I'm also in 2ww. Had a miscarriage last month so I'm extra anxious and also really angry with the world. This two weeks is actually making me really depressed when I'm not distracted by something else. I'm 5dpo so too early for symptoms but I'm reading into every. Little. Thing. I decided that if it doesn't work this month I'll just stick with the one baby I have because I've had so many miscarriages I can't keep doing this... so no pressure 😬

Good luck everyone 😊

[quote J90A]@Agapanthus13 I'm on clomid 12dpo I think. I had a failed attempt at bbt last month so is my first proper time charting from the beginning. I've became obsessed. Sometimes find myself waking up in the middle of the night checking my temp🤦‍♀️😂. I think I might be out now tho. Xx[/quote]
Sorry to hear this. It is all so stressful x

@Agapanthus13 I'll be testing 31st so 10dp. We're not planning on doing anything for new year. Blood really depend on your clinic, my clinic do it as standard but many don't and just use POAS

Agapanthus13 · 28/12/2021 19:40

@J90A you temp chart looks really promising! Are you on any meds? I’ve tracked my Basel temperature for years but stopped during treatment as I was unsure if it would still work with ivf meds, wishing I’d tracked it now, darn!

Agapanthus13 · 28/12/2021 19:34

@2mumlife that’s quite a bit earlier! I was half thinking I might test on 10dp5dt but we’ve friends staying for NYE so I think 11d would be my possible earliest. I should have asked my clinic about bloods, they just said POAS d14 & call with results. What day will you be testing?

2mumlife · 28/12/2021 17:59

@Agapanthus13 And the POAS was to still be 10dp5dt

2mumlife · 28/12/2021 17:59

@Agapanthus13 Thats a long wait. My clinic would normally have me in for blood hcg 10dp5dt but they're closed that day, and they've just told me to POAS instead (I think if its positive though they'll then get me in for bloods when they reopen but not sure)

pennysays · 28/12/2021 17:08

Hi all. 11dpo today. Temp should normally drop by now but is still up so not out yet. All BFNs so far which makes me feel mad. DP all just like “think about something else…” ok!!!

Agapanthus13 · 28/12/2021 16:54

Hi Ladies, please can I join? I’m currently 6dpt with a 5day blastocyst. Clinic have said not to test until day 14 which feels like a long wait 😳 Hope you’re all getting on ok.

Pinkmini21 · 28/12/2021 16:53

Yeah I get that. I have been using the Clear Blue Advanced digital hormone tracker. As I had an ovary removed in October so wanted to check everything was working and the advanced measures estrogen too. I'm not going to test until Friday I do have some FRER ones in my draw but it's not worth the heart ache. If I convince myself that I'm not anything else is bonus xx

2mumlife · 28/12/2021 16:18

@J90A Clear Blue are notorious for line-eyes - generally consensus is pink dyes is better than blye dye for not getting up false hopes

@Pinkmini21 If you're going to test early use first response - I was still getting a line on them when my blood hcg was 5 at the end of my chemical pregnancy. But BE AWARE because they pick up such low levels you can get a 'positive' thats really just a chemical pregnancy. This is why I've sworn never to test early again

BlueSky57 · 28/12/2021 14:29

Hi all! I’m also in the TWW. Not quite sure exactly when I ovulated as recently came off the pill but CD1 was December 8 so I’m assuming around 19-24 December. AF is due Jan 4/6 for me… first time ttc for us at 31 so not feeling hopeful but have fingers crossed for myself & all of you too Flowers

Pinkmini21 · 28/12/2021 14:28

@J90A 😢could it be too early? I was ready about the rates that hcg increases. Although I still feel I tested to early, I don't hold out a lot of hope x

J90A · 28/12/2021 14:23

@Pinkmini21 I done another clear blue was negative as was first response. 😢 I though it was rare to get a false positive

OP posts:
Pinkmini21 · 28/12/2021 14:15

@J90A which FRER ones do you recommend? I don't plan on testing now until Friday...whether I do or not is another thing x

2mumlife · 28/12/2021 14:00

I'm also feeling out. The only BFP I had (which was a chemical) I got implantation bleeding 6dp5dt and had nothing. I'm 7dp5dt and feeling no symptoms etc only thing unusual is the worlds hugest spot developing on my chin. Trying to stay positive until OTD on Friday but I've lost the ability to imagine it working out to be honest.

2mumlife · 28/12/2021 13:56

@J90A Strongly recommend you use FRER rather than clear blue, particularly when testing early.

@Easymeasy Fingers crossed for a good beta result.

Pinkmini21 · 28/12/2021 13:42

I had pink tinges to my CM sorry for the detail on day 8/10/11 and today. But it's a little more today so I've just got this feeling. We've been trying for over a year! Waiting tests but I have mild cramps which I've had more and more over the last few days. I tested yesterday and it was negative. But could have been too early x

Lozzza90 · 28/12/2021 13:23

@Pinkmini21 of course not! I'm also due Sunday as well! Its so painful this waiting game! I'm itching to test but just holding out and trying to keep busy. I felt really positive yesterday for some reason but today I feel so down about it all.

How comes you feel like you're out already? Xx

Pinkmini21 · 28/12/2021 13:06

Hi, do you mind if i join? I'm in the 2WW and it's dragging!! It's the worst few weeks. I'm due Sunday and already feel like I'm out...again.
