1dpo - it's going to be a long two weeks if anyone wants to symptom spot with me

I think it's an indent as there's no colour :(

@emevol I have had evaps that look like that and BFPs that look like that. You could try a FRER?

@emevol , I had a few of those that looked exactly the same in the last few days. I used to really like these tests but the last few batches have had indents and/or some sort of scratches that looked like lines 😔

I think I've just had one of the nastiest indent lines I've ever had just did a test after a long hold. 'Line' appeared straight away.. but doesn't seem to have any colour.

@Wrenegade ive started drinking raspberry leaf today at 6 DPO, not sure if I’ve started too late, but I’ll let you know how I get on! It didn’t taste bad either which was a relief

@Mortima I can relate, having the bfn yesterday has helped to set my expectations even if I’m aware it was really early to test. There is something about seeing the bfn visually that helps me to accept the process. I find that my interpretation of my body is completely unreliable.

I’m considering drinking red raspberry leaf tea. I recently learnt that having a short LP can impact chances of implantation. Apparently the tea can lengthen the LP phase. We DTD everyday between day 5 and day 13 so I think we will start around day 7 and try every other day. Let me know how using pre-seed goes, I have heard good things.

@Wrenegade So far I have always intended to wait for AF to be late, but ended up testing between 8 - 11dpo...in a way I wonder if it helps me to lower my expectations gradually, but it is such a head fuck isn't it.
Do you think you might do something different next cycle? This time around we tried pre-seed with the applicator...I don't notice much CM so hoping it might help.

@Mortima perhaps we can keep one another sane until the day of AF! It was my intention not to test at all unless I had a missed period but I caved yesterday. The bfn was enough to make me want to wait but it does seem far away. To make the few days seem shorter I’m thinking about how I might approach the next cycle.

Tentative congrats @Panda0! Please keep up updated with your progression

@Wrenegade think we are cycle buddies...I'm also about 9dpo and AF will be due by Tuesday, so trying to hold out testing until Wednesday if no AF, which seems ages away at the moment!

@corgilover @emevol your symptoms sound promising, still early for a BFP so fingers crossed.

Congrats @Panda0!

After 2 days of BFN, last night I was sick after being in a taxi and have woken up so nauseous. No tests in the house and trying not to get my hopes up. Ordered some FRERs that arrive tomorrow so fingers and toes are crossed.

Thanks everyone. I am not going to tell DP yet as he will think I am mental with those faint tests 🤣. Really hoping they will get darker and I can tell him in a few days 🤞🤞.

Hope the rest of the TWW is bearable and best of luck for some BFPs in the next few days ✨.

@Panda0 congratulations! I also see both.

only 7dpo today, this tww is going sooooo slow

Congrats @Panda0 !!

Only 3 days until I’m 9DPO, going so slowly…

@Panda0 congrats!

Another BFN a for me this morning at 10 DPO. Just want AF to hurry up now.

@Panda0 I see both lines too, congratulations 🥰

9dpo today and I’ve been feeling like AF might make an appearance since yesterday. Set myself the challenge of not testing unless I miss my period on Tuesday. Let’s see how long I last 🤣

Still negative for me today. 9DPO. Boobs are still sore, still cramping too! 😫

Congratulations @Panda0 !! 😍🥰

Yay! Congratulations @Panda0

I can see both lines @Panda0 wonderful news! Have everything crossed for you ❤️🤞🏻

Morning everyone.

I’ve got a wee update this morning. I was cramping on and off all day yesterday at 9dpo and was honestly dreading going to the bathroom and seeing AF had arrived. I’ve had short cycles recently and have had 10 day LP so just though here we go again. However didn’t have my usual sore boobs pre AF and no bleeding at all so far. Tested this morning and have got vvvfl on both easy@home and FRER. Both are pink and came up within time but really faint! Have everything crossed that this will progress and be good news 🤞🤞🤞. It’s going to be an anxious wait after CP in July.

How are you all doing now?

Another thing I've just noticed this evening., my nipples are considerably bigger!! Tenure swollen, seem darker (?!) and there's white bumps all over them? What on earth...

@Mayfield87 same here, must be nearly £100 as I’ve been getting out the big guns this TWW (mostly frers and even a digital 😂). All BFNs so I think I’m most definitely out. Will try and stick to one/day until AF now both for my sanity and bank account.

Hey
can I join in. I’m 6dpo today I had a CP last month so I’m both excited and dreading testing this month!

Well I have officially pee'd on all pregnancy tests I had in the house now over the last 3 days. I've made a pact with myself to not test with any cycle until after Af is due- I can't bare the torture 🙈 and the amount of money I have spent- madness!

I couldn't even count the number of OPK's I used when TTC last time! I felt so much relief from just deciding to stop. TTC again now and honestly all of those anxious obsessive thoughts and behaviours I had last time are coming back in full force 😫😫
