Hi,

Currently trying for DC 2, already have a 2 year old DS.

I should have ovulated today 🤞🏻🤞🏻

Anyone else entering the TWW? Due AF 7th Jan but will probably end up testing a couple days before 😄

@Mrsrobinsonx exactly. I had a chemical in November so won’t believe it until the lines get darker. Will try again tomorrow morning and hopefully trine won’t be as diluted 🤞🏼

Mrsrobinsonx · 05/02/2023 16:52

I’m exactly the same, @MrsL22
After my chemical I don’t think I’ll believe it for a while, I’m praying for some progression this week 🙏🏻

MrsL22 · 05/02/2023 16:48

@Mrsrobinsonx i can definitely see that!

I’m already doubting my faint line so desperately need to see a progression 😂

is that three potential BFPs this month??

Downtherabbithole83 · 05/02/2023 15:57

@Pitstop1986 more CM than normal was an indicator in both of my last pregnancies 🤞 I’ve also heard good things on here about the Wondfo IC.

@Mrsrobinsonx I can see that!!!!! Quick, pee on something else 😂

@SimplyChic everyone on Mumsnet raves about frers but I’ve never had much success with them. I’ve used clearblue for all of my pregnancies and they’ve seemed pretty reliable 🤷‍♀️ My IC showed very faint lines within the time but have dried darker afterwards. From about 12dpo they were more obvious but even then faint enough that I was worried before I’d done my clearblue.

Pitstop1986 · 05/02/2023 14:44

That's two very faint positives today!

Pitstop1986 · 05/02/2023 14:43

I can definitely see a shadow @Mrsrobinsonx how exciting!!

Mrsrobinsonx · 05/02/2023 14:29

Not sure if I have line eyes or not! Husband isn’t sure (obvs he’s a man 😂) but I’m sure I'm seeing a faint line, usually my negatives don’t even have a shadow.

however it’s still so early I’m not 100% sure.

I'm getting a lot of cm today and just noticed that it's stretchy between my fingers. Now googling like mad if ewcm is a sign of early pregnancy or a sign of impending period.

I had some stretchy mucus the day before my period last month, but that kind of came out as one glob on a wipe after going to the loo. Reading up, this is the corpus luteus (sp?!) coming out just before AF

I need either a positive pregnancy test or AF to arrive as I'm going mad here!

Pitstop1986 · 05/02/2023 13:45

I've got Wondfo Internet cheapies. Obviously haven't had a positive on them so not sure how long they take to develop, but it'd be interesting to find out.

It does say on the packet to read the results after 5 minutes

SimplyChic · 05/02/2023 13:29

@Downtherabbithole83 poor you!! That must of been so rough to go through.

My backache has returned this afternoon 💀

I kept getting the FRER's online and they kept looking like I was getting indents or some sorts and I wasn't the only one who could see them so I feel wary of them now. Plus if my cycle really is being a pain again this month, I don't want to waste money trying to buy them repeatedly again, haha.

How long until your Internet cheapies showed up/got darker?
Been reading up that IB needs 4 days before testing, so I may use another cheapie tomorrow.

Downtherabbithole83 · 05/02/2023 12:33

@SimplyChic I have two DD with my ex-husband but none with my current partner. We fell pregnant last year but at the 12 week scan it was obvious that something was wrong and CVS confirmed serious chromosomal abnormalities so we had a tfmr at just over 14 weeks. I’m trying to go with a the mantra ‘different pregnancy, different baby’ but it’s hard not to worry about it happening again.

I found the lines took ages to develop on my internet cheapies and are still faint in the time frame. Might be worth grabbing one of the ‘6 days early’ tests as I’ve not had indents on those.

SimplyChic · 05/02/2023 12:22

@Downtherabbithole83 you're about the same with my cycle by the sounds of it. Is this your first DC? I don't have any children yet, I think it's mostly why I'm so anxious especially with my erratic cycles.

My AF usually begins about 10/11am (other than the spotting which was about 5pm) and it still hasn't began yet 😖

Mrsrobinsonx · 05/02/2023 10:42

@Downtherabbithole83 how exciting.
I also have barely any symptoms this tww that’s why I’m not sure at all. Slightly sore boobs, bit hungry/nauseous the last few days, and still quite a bit of cm.
but that’s it! Possibly IB last night and maybe a shadow on todays test but also not getting my hopes up as had a chemical in November. X

Downtherabbithole83 · 05/02/2023 10:37

@SimplyChic I’m also surprised that I don’t have any symptoms. I do have a bit more cm than normal and I had 2 days of uncomfortable back pain around 9 & 10 dpo. But that’s it really! Possibly a couple of waves of nausea but that could be due to the extreme snot levels from my cold (sorry - tmi)

I’m either 13dpo or 14 dpo - officially four weeks today according to my last AF start date. I’m amazed at how much my line has progressed from the almost not there line on the early detection test on Thursday to the very clear line on a less sensitive test today.

@Downtherabbithole83 When I had the spotting was the same day as my breast pain which usually indicated AF and especially now I still have it I'm surprised nothing further has occurred. I expected AF to appear full force from it.

I am surprised you have less symptoms. How far along are you do you think?

MrsL22 · 05/02/2023 10:07

@Pitstop1986 basically yeah 😂

if it weren’t for the fact that I’ve woken up feeling really woozy then I wouldn’t have tested. But I said to DH ‘something just feels off’

Pitstop1986 · 05/02/2023 10:05

@MrsL22 I see a line! Tentative congratulations!

I love how we all said we'd wait to test, then all caved, so today's been a mass poas event! Haha

MrsL22 · 05/02/2023 09:59

Like I said it was so diluted so no idea. The IC was a clear BFN (I couldn’t accept that hence the frer). Will try again in a day or so. Or when I have stronger urine.

Definitely won’t be getting my hopes up. My last faint line turned into CP

Mrsrobinsonx · 05/02/2023 09:54

@MrsL22 i can see something!!
I actually caved too and think it’s negative. Maybe a shadow but will go with bfn for now x

Downtherabbithole83 · 05/02/2023 09:54

I can see it (just) @MrsL22 - how exciting! You’ll be stronger than me if you now don’t POAS constantly for the next few days! Thank goodness for internet cheapies… 🤞

MrsL22 · 05/02/2023 09:39

Not sure if you can see it on a photo and it also looks more grey in that but it’s definitely pink.

MrsL22 · 05/02/2023 09:36

@Downtherabbithole83 well before I even saw your message I had caved… FRER and a very thin second line. Within the first minute I was like no there’s nothing. Then I shone a torch (madness because let’s face it that’s what we all do) and I was like hmmmmm. DH looked and said I can definitely see something. Now I can see it without the torch. It was my third or fourth wee of the day so far (can’t stop peeing for some reason) and it was so diluted despite me not having had a drink yet today.
Ao will test again tomorrow and see 🤷🏻‍♀️

Pitstop1986 · 05/02/2023 09:33

I'm also still eating like a horse. DH has just suggested getting my thyroid levels tested as I swing between over and underactive with my thyroid and my main symptom is hunger levels- I'm really hungry when overactive and forget to eat all day when I'm underactive. Last bloods a month ago came back as normal, but things could have changed

Pitstop1986 · 05/02/2023 09:30

I caved and tested this morning. Stark white bfn! Oh well, it is pretty early for me to be testing. I'm also noticing a lot more cm than normal, but this may be normal and I'm just reading too much into things...

@Downtherabbithole83 don't worry about missing a week or two of running, if it alleviates your anxiety, then it won't do any harm to slow down on the exercise front. Have a nice, gentle walk instead. It is looking really promising for you, if your hormones can be picked up on a regular test!

Downtherabbithole83 · 05/02/2023 09:27

@Mrsrobinsonx how long will you hold out?
