Hello ladies!

I’ve been reading these threads (at all hours clearly!) I just wondered if anyone was currently in their 2WW and wanted to join me? It’s so long!! I’m ttc number 2, have a 4 year old son, fell first time with him luckily so certainly not expecting the same this time round. This is our first cycle. I’m only using an app not any ovulation sticks so not sure how many days po I am, but According to app fertile window ended yesterday. AF due 21st I only have 24/25 day cycles since coming off my pill.

Anywhoo no symptoms yet as too early! I’ve had ovulation cramps and a few nights of very intense dreams. I think the only symptoms I can remember pre bfp with my son was really really sore boobs, couldn’t bare a bra on!! And really tired.

Please people join me to symptom spot and keep each other company during the 2WW.

@smiles39 yeah that’s true!! I guess because there is still a chance that you could be pregnant! Awww I’m sorry to hear that! I’m not sure if they just don’t get as emotionally attached to the prospect as us because they don’t symptom spot or anything so they just don’t seem to have the emotional rollercoaster! My OH didn’t even ask this morning if I’d done a test so I didn’t tell him!

I wasn’t as upset about the BFN as I thought I would, I guess because there’s still hope as I’ve tested early.

Very upset about my OH’s reaction though, which was completely absent, no reaction at all. Given it’s cycle #1 for baby #1 I’m really hurt about his lack of care and support in that moment.

@smiles39 aww I’m sorry 😢 I wish FMU wasn’t the best as it really puts u in a meh mood for the rest of the day! I’m
Lucky enough to be going to breakfast with my friend whose pregnant this am.. so guess there will be lots of pregnancy talk!
@SkeletonSkins I think it’s the silvery line on my test or if o stare at it long enough I duplicate a second line in my mind!! However on your second one in the really good lighting I can see a clear line!

I’m off to buy some clear blues today to feed
My addiction despite all the bad feedback about them!

Morning all, fairly sure I’m a BFN too. I can see SOMETHING but I think it’s just the silvery indent line that’s there to start with.

@ANP2020 to be fair I think I can see something but I’m not sure if it’s the grey line like mine? When’s your period due?

Sorry about the BFN @smiles39 :(

Good morning!!

So I tested thought I may see the faintest line but equally think I’m going mad!! With my first got a positive at this point on an FRER so think I’m going mad!!

Hello ladies!!

I’m sorry I’ve been missing I’ve been working till just now! I managed to squeeze in another test though haha! BFN of course! Ahhh my body is playing tricks on me! My boobs a full, as I’ve been driving around to patients It’s felt like my womb and pelvis are pulling and tugging! My body isn’t this active before a period…unless I’ve just not realised!!

Awww guys I’m sorry we’ve had BFNs on here! I’ve been sure on mine I can see a thin line! Not visible on a photo and only to the naked eye so faint it catches your eye but when I put a flash on can see it a bit better! But then…I realised I can see it before i even pee on it!! So down the black hole of google I’ve been! Apparently it’s a thing! A silvery line that many people have initially thought was a positive!

Ahhh @SkeletonSkins I’m sure I can see something on those tests Particularly that first one!

@thebloodycatwontstopmeowing I’m sorry I can’t see anything but that doesn’t mean tomorrow isn’t a new day!

@smiles39 I wonder if there’s a national FRER shortage!! There’s not many around here I’ve had to go to Amazon!! Loads of clearblue but I’ve not used them before as I’ve heard they’re bad for Evap!

Ahhh another sleep for another morning and 3 hopeful minutes! I’ll update again in the morning (if I don’t get blown away in this storm!!)

How many cycles have you been trying? I’ve got PCOS and so this is the first month in a very long time I’ve actually had a shot. Getting a BFP just doesn’t feel like a possibility to me.

I’ve tested again, it’s much the same as this morning. If you mess about with the contrast etc the line clear but that’s just not realistic is it. I just hope I sleep okay and don’t keep waking up anticipating testing in the morning.

smiles39 · 16/02/2022 21:15

@SkeletonSkins IKR!! At least it’s a deterrent for me testing too early, don’t want to waste them as so expensive 😂

SkeletonSkins · 16/02/2022 21:07

Ah I’m sorry @thebloodycatwontstopmeowing, I’ve got everything crossed for you.

FF is predicting my period tomorrow so I guess we’ll see.

@smiles39 aren’t they bloody expensive! So much for a bit of plastic that we wee on 😂

smiles39 · 16/02/2022 20:55

Just had to go on an expedition round the town to find some bloody FRERs. Out of stock basically everywhere and I am currently boycotting Amazon so that wasn’t an option.

Anyways, I’ve got some now but I’ll stick to the rules on the pack and wait until Friday morning to test as that will be 5 days before AF.

Hopefully we have a positive test turn up before the week is out 🤞🏻🤞🏻

Wheresmycustard · 16/02/2022 19:37

@thebloodycatwontstopmeowing sorry it's bfn. Trying not worry it's early days yet. 🤞🤞

@thebloodycatwontstopmeowing not yet but I might do later if I think my wee is not too diluted, going try and avoid drinking much this evening. Funny enough my friend said to me today hers were always strongest in the evening too.

Wheresmycustard · 16/02/2022 16:59

@thebloodycatwontstopmeowing I don't think it matters as long as it's concentrated. My fmu was always really diluted my early tests never showed up. My second pee of the day was my most reliable coz I knew I'd not drunk too much since last pee.
If testing tonight given its early maybe reduce fluid intake and then use second pee so it's least diluted 🤷🏻‍♀️

Ha ha £ mean I probably wont make AF but at least a few days 🤣🤣🤣

Wheresmycustard · 16/02/2022 14:06

@pinkpirlie i admire your ability to wait til af is due. That's a strength I wish I had😂

Good luck @D0nd361u mind let us know when you've cracked and tested can't wait to hear❤️

D0nd361u · 16/02/2022 13:17

Thanks for all the advice girls, think ill wait and see what happens, my periods are irregular too so its hard to know when to test. They have been 28days the last 3 months so im going by this 🤷🏻‍♀️
