TWW starting 31.07.22 - Company Needed

@eleveneleven11 have you been testing regularly or was this just a one off to check in on things? Any idea how sensitive the Boots test is?
As @TheCakeIsALie18 says, I'd expect it to be darker too, but I've only been using a set of 10miu cheapies so don't know what the line would look like on a less sensitive test.

Hope you're OK and fingers crossed for you xx

hey everyone! hope you are all doing ok - anyone in the TWW yet?

@TheCakeIsALie18 congratulations on healthy bub! so pleased that everything is going well for you, your scan pictures made my heart happy 🥰

i think i am around 5 weeks today. i did a test this morning and i would have liked the line to have been darker? never been pregnant before though so i'm not sure if it should be at this point. i used a cheap boots own test and this was the line after around 8 minutes (5 mins wait time advised). it didn't come up straight away either.

im out of the country at the moment until monday so can't use one of my better tests! any thoughts/experience of testing at 5 weeks? x

Aw sorry to hear @Diamondbabe 💐💐

Sounds like you had fun ;) @ttcfirstbaby90 Third times a charm.

Thanks for your response I've started bleeding soo pretty sure that's my period 😢

@TheCakeIsALie18 thanks so much for sharing! Wonderful to see baby looking so real and measuring up now! Hope you're feeling good xx

Oh my gosh. How real does it feel @TheCakeIsALie18 look at how cute and tiny he/she is. 🥰

I hope everyone is okay. I've been on the road for 4 nights now. It is not agreeing with my skin or hair. I think it must be the water down here haha. I'm used to soft water in Yorkshire. Anyhow been a little busy.

I'm pleased to announce I've hit my peak today so ovulation day tomorrow. When the van is a rocking don't come knocking. 😂

I am a class clown if you hadn't already noticed. 🤣

This has concluded my LP is about 17 days which according to Google is the latter end of normal so I'm feel positive. Come on cycle number 3 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻

@TheCakeIsALie18 awwww.. I am so happy for you! you must be so relieved 😃.. so cute the baby was waving 🥹🥹

@Diamondbabe Sorry to hear about your previous MCs 😞. I have never gotten a bfp myself and am certainly no pregnancy expert so maybe my opinion doesn't count much. Maybe others with experience getting bfps can chime in. What will be will be---worrying won't change anything. Praying that you get good news soon and the child meant for you comes into your life soon 🙏🏼🙏🏼..I hope you are able to reassure yourself..I know its easier said than done. Lots of hugs..

Aw congratulations @TheCakeIsALie18 baby is looking like an actual baby!

im due my period Sunday, should it be a lot stronger by now? This was after a day or so over checked back it's shown this. I'm so Confused I've had two miscarriages im finding it difficult x thanks for your kindness x

@TheCakeIsALie18 and sorry to hear about the previous MC.. I would be testing like that too!

@Diamondbabe I can see a very faint line! congrats!

Sorry forgot to add the picture

I took this test yesterday or the day before and checked back and it's showing as positive.

can that happen? My period is due Sunday. I didn't have any FRERs left so used a cheapie but not showing much

please help I'm driving myself mad

@TheCakeIsALie18 No worries! you have the best excuse in the world🤰🏻🤰🏻..haha..and thank you for sharing the pics. There is such conflicting info out there on when women first test positive especially on cheaper tests. Do you actually see a line on the easy at home at 12 dpo? camera doesn't pick it up i think. And definitely no judging from me..i started testing from 6dpo last cycle pretty much everyday 😆

All the best for your scan! let us know how it goes..

(To reassure myself and my bank, the tests were about £4 for a box of 30, and are the most expensive ones I've bought so far 🙃)

It's so interesting to hear how different everyone's experiences are! Hope you're feeling better now @GreyGreymalkin12

I've had some light occasional cramps, but am feeling fairly energetic. Although I've noticed that my words keep swapping for the opposite word when I speak, which may be a problem at some point 🤪

I've got a box of 30 cheapie tests so have just been using one a day to see what's going on (especially with no obvious outward signs) but I will stop by 20dpo I promise! I can stop any time! I may take a digital a few weeks later just to show family (and for my own peace of mind) as I'm not planning any early scans or anything.

Hope everyone else is doing well xx

@Hannargh not sure how to describe it, very tired, feel rather brain dead. But emotionally all over the place, daughter was late for school this morning which resulted in tears everywhere from me, which is not a normal reaction!

hello hello! All fine here thanks @Hannargh. I did a test on Sunday, nothing since then. I have one test left so trying to save that for a weeks time, maybe?! I’m not a serial tester as I just see it as peeing on money 😂 but I totally get the buzz it gives you seeing that positive! I have ordered a digital one to do in a week or so.
How are you doing?

@Hannargh hey! thanks for checking in :) it's such a weird time isn't it - being pregnant but feeling pretty normal. I've been feeling good. yesterday i had some mild abdominal pain - felt like a heavy pressure in my tummy, like i had rocks in there. it passed after an hour and a half and a dog walk. im also still waking up in the night/early morning and struggling to get back to sleep which was something i mentioned on here back on maybe 5/6 dpo.
i took a cheap test this morning and got a nice line. :)

really glad to hear your tests are getting darker! I've decided to test maybe once or twice a week but limit myself. have you been testing daily? x

Hi everyone - just wondered how everyone was getting on today?
(Especially @eleveneleven11 @Shleepymummy @Greymalkin12 )

I'm feeling exceptionally unpregnant but my tests are getting darker (I will stop checking soon, honest. I'm blaming the box of cheapies that I have lying around).

How is everyone else?

@Greymalkin12 its funny how things workout sometimes no..when we are expecting the least! sorry to hear about your recent struggles. hope this one goes as smooth as possible!

@xttcbabyno1x thanks! xx
