TWW - anyone??

Never mind, just done another test and its negative 🙂 xx

13dpo - I took a test this morning and was negative after 3 mins.. i must of left it on the side and after an hour it looks like this? Obviously i ripped it apart (as you do) normally mine stays completely white. Obviously its a bfn because its after the time scale so i'll just wait to see if AF comes.. just wondering if this has happened to anyone else?

@apples24 congratulations.

@Hopefulx ahhh I see, yeah this is why I've decided not to temp after ovulation this month because I worry myself about it and that won't help. It's so disheartening isn't it, it literally consumes you and takes over your life.

Just wait and see if Af arrives that's what I'm going to do, feels like I've been waiting 2 weeks already and it's only been 4 days 🙃

Where did you get the blood test done for progesterone? The SCH groups I'm on over on fb gave mentioned progesterone to help with the SCH so if I fall pregnant again it will be the first thing I ask about.

@Sb86 you have said that perfectly- I couldn’t agree more than what you have said. When others announce their pregnancies although we are happy for them, it can make us feel sad about our situation. However I don’t get it with ladies on the threads as we’re all in the same boat and have had struggles.

im 10 DPO, but I’m convinced I’m out due to my temp / progesterone getting lower. I had a blood test which confirmed it was low and I’ve also done the Proov strips where you test it over 4 days and mine has got lower over the 4 days. I’m gutted but I guess it’s not completely over until AF arrives.

id recommend having a blood test 7 days after ovulation to see you progesterone levels. If it’s low you can get tablets for it. Hoping your tww goes quick and you get your bfp!

@Hopefulx sorry for your loss also, yes it's a very testing time. Makes you question your body, makes you angry and sad at the universe. I've had so many people announcing pregnancies on my fb who are a similar due date to what mine would have been and I've had to unfollow them so I don't see all the updates. Of course I'm happy for them but I'm also sad for me, my oh and our baby so I'd rather not deal with it. It's weird though because I keep my fingers crossed all you ladies get your bfp and am genuinely happy when it happens. I don't know if it's because I know more about the trying and background with you lot rather than just seeing a scan photo pop up on my timeline and it seeming like it's so easy? But I don't know the backgrounds of everyone on my fb so they could equally have struggled, I don't know if that makes sense or not but it does in my head so I'll go with it ha.

I'm only 4dpo so still early days, I'm trying to take a different approach this month and not test before I need to. Are you 10dpo? What's the progesterone test you speak of? I'm wondering if my levels are lower because I spotted for about a week before my period last month and then it was super short.

@Sb86 so sorry for your loss. It’s so hard, we are very similar I would have been 22 weeks now if didn’t Mc. Let’s hope we get our little rainbow - sending all the baby dust! How many DPOs are you? Have you had any symptoms as of yet? X

@AROSE9 Yeah definitely, all new to me this so we will try next month!
8dpo is still very early, I think i might just start waiting for AF's, so much stress counting these dpo's!

Sending so much luck to you all!

@apples24 I have my fingers crossed for you 🤞🏽 keep us updated with your FRER test ❤️

@AROSE9 I did another test this morning and it is still BFN, I can’t help myself otherwise I keep thinking about it all day 😂 I also did a progesterone test over the last 5 days and my results are getting lower so I think I’m definitely out this month. Keep me updated with how you get on, sending you so much baby dust ✨

@apples24 congratulations and fingers crossed everything goes to plan ❤️

@AROSE9 thankyou 🤞🏼

You are definitely not out yet, it's still only early so don't give up hope 🙏🏼

@AROSE9 - not out yet if only 8DPO! I had mine with first at 10DPO - I think I had implantation on 9DPO as remember struggling at work with awful cramps.

I had a better line this morning - so 9DPO. Even husband can see it and it has proper colour. I also tested my ICs with just water and there was no evap/indent. So I'm cautiously starting to think it could be real. It is still so early though, could turn out to be chemical. I also have zero symptoms - tummy was a bit upset yesterday but that's all.

FRERs should arrive on Monday.

Just an update,

I did a FRER this morning (12dpo, i think) BFN. My AF is due Sunday so I'll just wait for that

Baby dust for everyone x

Thanks ladies, was the worst time of my life and not a day goes by when I don't think about how big I'd be now and how I'd be going for the scan anytime as I'd be 21 weeks. It really is tough going, I just hope that we get a BFP before May as I'm dreading the baby's due date coming up and not being pregnant 😔

We are doing all we can just got to hope that everything is going to plan behind the scenes.

Having these threads to talk to all you lot is great though and really does help

@Sb86 welcome to the chat and I’m sorry for your loss.

@apples24 that sounds promising, hopefully it turns into a clear line.

omg this 2ww thing is doing so many tricks with my mind. One moment I’m convinced I have symptoms and the next I’m sure I’m out this month. I honestly just don’t know anymore. I woke up in the night with bad cramps but desperately needed a wee and TMI had to go for a number 2 urgently this morning so it could have been that. Nothing much else all day other than some discharge but I have seen it in months we weren’t TTC so I don’t think it’s a sign and actually think it means I’m out as it’s normal for me.

@Sb86 sorry for your loss, welcome to the chat.

I had another dubious looking line on internet cheapie thid evening, I'll test again in the morning and might upload a pic here if something shows up again.

@AROSE9 yeah, just like evap lines.

@AROSE9 heyyy, hope you're doing well! Im going to test tomorrow (approx 12dpo) then im going to leave it until after AF.. no new symptoms.. just tired today and my right boob is still hurting to touch. I usually get sore bbs days before AF and I havent had that yet! AF is due Sunday. My app says that my cycle is 25 days but has been 24 days and 26? So god knows.. i dont track ovulation, but we did dtd on the day i had EWCM and according to my app it was 2 days before ov but might be 3 if my cycle is 26 days or 1 day if 24 days? All very confusing 😕 x

@Sb86 @Louise0808 so sorry to hear about your losses. Hoping you both get your bfp soon.

@AROSE9 I see your temperature post, it’s hard to know if that’s high or not for you without seeing your temps prior to ovulation. Hopefully you get your bfp and don’t need to temp, but if you have another cycle I recommend temping as it can help confirm once you have ovulated. It can also help identify if progesterone is low, I think I have this as my temp has started to come down already.

I had some very mild cramps yesterday but they have gone today. I cracked today 😂 did a FRER test at lunch which was of course bfn but trying to still have hope as only 9 DPO and my pee was so diluted (trying to convince myself that’s why it was neg) I really thought this month was the month but now I’ve got that gut feeling I am out. I’m going to test again on Saturday morning and then will hold out until AF arrives. How are you getting on lovely? X

@Louise0808 fingers crossed for you 🤞🏼

I'm due the 10th to 12th. So still early I guess. I hope things change. I'm glad they did for you and it gives me hope still :)
