Anyone else here back in the TWW around this time? My TWW started 27th Aug and I'm in need of some company!

This is cycle #9 for us now so really hoping this is the one 🤞🏻

Congrats @Scottishgal1 !!

@Foreverhopeful92 I'm in the exact same position as you! I'd given up hope after my BFN yesterday, but this morning (12DPO) I woke up to a big temp rise so I couldn't resist testing... got a faint pink line on easy@home similar to yours! Squeezed a teeny wee out within the hour and got a stark white on FRER. I caved a couple hours later, again nothing on FRER or CB. Feel so silly wasting so many spenny tests today, but I've never seen a second line before and it just got me so excited... thought it'd be too good to be true.

Anyways I think there is still hope, the line was pink and you're still early — I'll be testing again with you in the morning! Got my fingers crossed for us!! xx

So I took a FRER this afternoon and BFN!
Now feel silly for getting my hopes up! My rational brain knew that I looked at it after the time limit :(

Obviously was not FMU like this morning so will probably test again tomorrow morning to be sure but not feeling so hopeful now.
I know it’s still early as think I’m only about 10 dpo but I got all excited and carried away! X

ST18 · 06/09/2022 16:17

@Scottishgal1 I can definitely see a line ! 👍🏼
Best wishes for the upcoming days !✨🙏🏼

Scottishgal1 · 06/09/2022 15:16

@JaneGnR88 Thank you 😊 I’ll wait til tomorrow and do FRER just to confirm …. Slightly nervous about it all now as we were planning on starting to try til nearer the end of the year!!

good luck every one 🤞🏻

ST18 · 06/09/2022 15:13

@JaneGnR88

Ah yes, mines been on and off since 5dpo, on 7dpo today .
Yesterday was the worst I've had. Hopefully it's all good news for all of us soon.

Baby dust to you all ✨❤️

JaneGnR88 · 06/09/2022 15:10

@ST18 yep! Last week on and off for 3 days I had sharp pains in my right side which moved downward a bit later on, still getting tingles like pins and needles 🤷‍♀️

JaneGnR88 · 06/09/2022 15:08

Hi @Scottishgal1 absolutely 10000% a line! Congratulations 💕

ST18 · 06/09/2022 14:57

Hey ladies,

Hope you all are doing well, sorry for those who got their BFNs☹️. Defo treat yourself! @Astar21 ahh I wish I was you right now, spa day and all lol 🥰.

I'm currently on 7dpo, I don't think I'm going to test till AF is due. Currently facing some sharp stabbing pains on my left side since 6dpo.
Sore breasts but very very sore Nipples.
I'm eager to test but defo holding back from doing that .

Did anyone else experience this?

Scottishgal1 · 06/09/2022 14:44

Hi everyone,

Been lurking in the background on a lot of thread for the last two weeks. Been super moody and had some light cramps nothing from what I would usually be!

Decided to do a test since AF is due tomorrow onwards (my cycles can vary up to 35 days) but the apps say tomorrow.

Unsure if I can see a line. Thoughts? This was after about 5 minutes of waiting.

@Foreverhopeful92 lets hope so, keeping everything crossed! I will buy some today and then try to holding testing tonight and test tomorrow morning xx

Foreverhopeful92 · 06/09/2022 13:50

@ForeverMrsK I can see something but definitely try a FRER if you can get hold of one!
I had dull cramps/ache yesterday so let’s hope it’s a good sign for both of us x

ForeverMrsK · 06/09/2022 13:44

It's getting darker (buts it's probably been 20mins now) . Im going to go buy a frer because Im actually scared, I feel like these tests play on your emotions a bit xx

ForeverMrsK · 06/09/2022 13:36

@JJaneGnR88 i see it. Fingers crossed test again tomorrow or even tonight! xx

@Foreverhopeful92 I see this too plus you guys are using the pink dye and I defo trust that more. Its so scary, I acn honestly relate but defo bite the bullet and use the frer xx

I tested today as well but I'm convinced I imagined a line plus its blue dye so I don't think I trust it. I will attach a picture. I don't know what to think because as I speak Im having period cramps.

What do you think? X

@Astar21 online shopping spree and spa sounds like fab plans!!

Astar21 · 06/09/2022 11:30

Thank you everyone 🥰 really appreciate the support. Went on a clothes online shopping spree 🤣 and we have a spa day booked in for next week.
Still spotting though it's now very light, it keeps coming and going, which is sending my mind into overdrive!

@Foreverhopeful92 oh that looks hopeful 🙏🏼 definitely try and hold out til tomorrow morning with the FRER

@JaneGnR88 I think fingers crossed for you!

Foreverhopeful92 · 06/09/2022 10:19

@JaneGnR88 i could - I have a FRER but I’m scared! I know that sounds silly! I think I’ll try and hold out til tomorrow morning as I’m too worried about getting a BFN later.

JaneGnR88 · 06/09/2022 10:14

Oooh I see it @Foreverhopeful92 its pink too! I do find those hard to see when you’re half asleep so you could have just missed it! Could you test again this evening? ✨

Foreverhopeful92 · 06/09/2022 10:06

@JaneGnR88 Hi!! that looks really promising!!

so I’m about 10 dpo, but not 100% sure as based on EWCM not OPk peak! I woke up this morning and tested half asleep looked BFN so went back to bed.
Now I know I shouldn’t have done this but I looked again later and now I see a line. I’ve never ever seen a line before it’s always been stark white and stayed that way but I’m well aware that it’s probably an indent or evap as was after the time limit. My rational brain knows this but my heart has hope!!!! 🙈

JaneGnR88 · 06/09/2022 09:55

Morning all, how’re we all doing?

Tested this morning with frer and another easy@home and got the attached, I can see lines but I’m so scared and don’t want to trust them! What do we think? Are these for real or indents?

The easy@home is the darkest I’ve had so far 🤷‍♀️🙏🤞✨

Sorry to hear @Astar21 :( Hope you have something nice planned this evening or this week.

pixiecircle · 05/09/2022 10:04

@JaneGnR88 I think I can see the faintest shadow of a line, but could also be indent like you say. Must be so frustrating not knowing without a positive OPK! Keep testing 🤞

@Astar21 sorry lovely, hope you’re able to take things easy today.

So I caved yest with a BFN and that set me off to a sad day… woke up this morning to a temp rise of almost 0.2 which made me test again, another BFN at 11DPO. I know I’m not technically out, but I do think this is me out now. Keeping my fingers crossed for you ladies xx

JaneGnR88 · 05/09/2022 09:46

Sorry @Astar21 I cross posted! Hope you’re okay and looking after yourself, maybe treat yourself today if AF does properly arrive? 💕

JaneGnR88 · 05/09/2022 09:45

Thanks @Astar21 and @Foreverhopeful92 I keep trying to switch off but it’s so hard, and I was in such a mood last night I was so mean to DH for no reason (and he’s so lovely and understanding he was just like ok) which made me feel horrible!

Because my cycles are sometimes all over I feel like I should be carrying on with OPKs too but honestly I don’t have the energy at all 🥹

Anyway, another piccie for some line eyes of the test dry ✨

Astar21 · 05/09/2022 09:44

@Foreverhopeful92 no this is exactly how my AF started last month. When I had implantation it was 8DPO and tailed off quickly. This is getting slowly heavier 😔

Foreverhopeful92 · 05/09/2022 09:33

@Astar21 sorry to hear that! Any chance it could be implantation bleeding? Fingers crossed it might be!

@JaneGnR88 still potentially early days for you too then! I’m also due Saturday according to Flo but as I’m guessing my peak as didn’t test over the right time it could be earlier or later!
