Anyone fancy keeping me company (sane 😅) during this dreaded TWW on our 5th cycle of TTC baby #2 after falling quick with our first I thought this would be easier! Feel free to give all symptoms and feelings etc! I’ve just purchased a BBT thermometer so starting that in the morning! By checking my cervix (feels slightly lower and firmer) and CM drying up slightly thinking the worst for this month already 😢

@Banditrules I’ve tried dipping one in water to see if I get these lines and they’re stark white, nothing. I’d hope for a better line though at 11dpo than these 🫠

Banditrules · 16/01/2023 10:22

@ttcat37 oh ignore me then! I thought they were 25.

ttcat37 · 16/01/2023 10:21

@Banditrules they’re 10miu apparently!

Banditrules · 16/01/2023 10:14

@ttcat37 those tests aren’t the most sensitive are they? Maybe wait a couple days and try a more sensitive test?

ttcat37 · 16/01/2023 09:11

More vague shadows for me this morning 🙄

@ttcat37 keeping everything crossed for you.

I'm convinced AF is imminent - even though a bit early yet - but I was freezing yesterday and boiling today which is usually a telltale sign for me.

@Ncl31 @northernmam @Banditrules thank you guys. I’m not telling my DH yet after last month’s chemical. AF not due till Tuesday and still getting those weird pre period aches.

I’d be the same @Banditrules. It must be amazing looking at a digital and it saying pregnant.

I don't blame you, I'm pretty sure I had one in August 2020 when we were TTC our 2nd baby (but didn't know what they were at the time). Hope you get your BFP in the next few days. I'm not due on my period until Friday/Saturday and the wait is awful xx

Thanks everyone! Did another test this morning just to be sure (as you do) and got one left so might as well use that in the morning. Hopefully this is a very lucky thread indeed!

@ttcat37 they look promising, especially the second one. I did an easy@home one at 11dpo and it looked very similar. Fingers crossed for you!

northernmam · 15/01/2023 10:00

@ttcat37 I definitely see both lines. Will keep everything crossed for you xx

Ncl31 · 15/01/2023 10:00

@ttcat37 i can see something. Only thing I can suggest is to wait a few days and test again.

ttcat37 · 15/01/2023 09:56

And that is definitely a bit of fluff on the picture not a pube…. Probably… 😂

ttcat37 · 15/01/2023 09:54

Woke up bloody boiling again, 36.84c same as yesterday. I’m 10dpo today. So jumped up and did a test.
I took the bottom one and got this vv faint greyish line. Didn’t get this yesterday- only when I held it at a weird angle- so I did a different brand, which I got nothing at all from yesterday. Same weird grey line.
Am I going mad?

Welcome @Ncl31 and @chezvic 👋🏻
Hope everything goes well for the both of you.
@Ncl31 I’m 9dpo today and AF due Tuesday/ poss Wednesday so we’re on similar days.

chezvic · 14/01/2023 22:02

Ooh congratulations @Banditrules amazing news!

And yes @TTC0123 let's hope this is a lucky thread.

Bit of background, if anyone interested 🤣 I've got a 10yr old DD already, but had bad PND so said no more but I think something kicked in recently that my time might soon be up ie menopause and suddenly here I am TTC.

I'm only going to try for a few months though because I turn 44 next month. If its meant to happen it will. I'm not tracking temp or using ovulation kits, what will be will be.

Period due next weekend so trying to hold out testing till then.

Long post sorry!

Ncl31 · 14/01/2023 21:20

Please can I join this thread. I’ve not been counting DPO until around 3 hours ago… I had the weirdest twinging pain in my left ovarian region…. So I took a look at my app and saw I’m 8dpo, I’m not obsessing whether that is implantation cramping, we’ve been out for dinner and I’ve been having niggling pains all night.
AF due 20-22nd so going to hold out until next weekend to do a test I think, I can’t cope with the disappointment again this month.

@TTC0123 hope your day turned out ok! I was out with my DM this afternoon so that took my mind off things a bit. Both yours & @ttcat37 temps look good! I can see why they say to get a proper thermometer, mine only measures to one decimal place so if I went from 36.69 to 36.61 or something I’d never know.

@Beginningless glad your temps are looking good so far too! Sorry you’re not feeling too well. I’ve just seen off a cold & now I’ve got another one back, it’s constant!

I ordered some more FRER which arrived today & couldn’t help myself when I got home, I think it’s pretty definitive!

How lovely! Huge congratulations and hope you have a happy and healthy pregnancy xx

Luckystar7jf · 14/01/2023 21:00

Hi all. I am due 19/1 been having ovary twinges all day yesterday. Today feel very tired. Good luck everyone x

@Beginningless thank you! I’m 14dpo, had faint lines consistently since 11dpo so thankfully some progression!

Yes it is, I’ve got a 2 year old already😊

Beginningless · 14/01/2023 19:15

Oooh huge congratulations @Banditrules ! What a nice strong line. How many dpo are you? Remind us is this your second?

I’m also doing stupid googling which I’ve never done in my first 2 pregnancies, I definitely never appreciated how lucky I was for it to just happen easily. My bbt chart is looking good at 8/9dpo today with a dip a couple of days ago and still rising. But last night was a terrible sleep and I’m not feeling too well so I’m not holding too much by it. Some frers arrived this morning but I’m going to hold off another couple of days. Fingers crossed for those of you with possibles, and everyone else, be kind to yourselves it’s ok to be a bit crazy about something you care a lot about…

I don’t think anyone does until they are then TTC do they! I took it for granted so much thought this would be a piece of piss 😅
Fingers crossed for your BBT to be even higher tomorrow ☺️🤞🏽And update us with your FRER results! Thanks for the positivity much appreciated over here!!

@TTC0123 today it was 36.84 so not much lower than yesterday. Here’s my chart.
36.67 is high! Have you had any dips yet?

thats really high yeah!! Intrigued for tomorrows! Yes a slight dip yesterday went down from 36.65 Thursday to 36.59 yesterday then 36.67 today, still getting to grips with it all 😅
