Hi! Is anyone else currently on their two week wait?? We dtd only once during my fertile window and this is C1 of ttc for #1! We wanted to take it slow and easy at first to get used to it all. So I'm not doing opk's and not dtd every other day or anything like that. Just taking it super easy this month. Might try and dtd a little more during my fertile window next month if this month isn't successful. Which obviously I'm not expecting it to be cos the chances are quite low! BUT regardless. I keep getting little nervous butterflies and just wanted some company at the start of this all!! AF is due 23rd April so I'm right at the start of ttw!

@Luciechapman I'm so very sorry for your loss, I was devastated to lose my pregnancy at 8 weeks (we had seen a heartbeat and been told everything was fine a few days before which made it harder) so I can't imagine how much more painful it must have been to lose your son. A close friend of mine lost their son at 26 weeks and being close to them through that gave me a glimpse of the agony.
I know I'll be incredibly anxious if and when I fall pregnant again and that positive scans won't even reassure me now after the experience we just had. I'm enjoying a tiny window this week of not feeling anxious, I was pleasantly surprised that ovulation happened relatively quickly and in quite a textbook way.
Sending you so much luck for a healthy pregnancy.

@Hankthehonk so sorry for your loss, I lost my son in jan at 22 weeks, he was my first baby. Ttc after loss is stressful and scary. I’m excited that it might be a positive but the next stage scares the life out of me. Good luck and sending you lots of baby dust ❤️🤞🌈

Hankthehonk · 13/04/2023 07:45

@Star2023 @Luciechapman I can see both of your lines! Fingers crossed they develop in the next couple of days.

Joining in as I'm 1dpo today. I had a mc 4 weeks ago (at 8 weeks) so I'm just relieved my cycles are back and I definitely caught ovulation yesterday with opk and bbt testing. Right now I feel quite relaxed that it is unlikely to happen this cycle, let's see if that feeling continues through the tww.

Ttc #2, our dd will be 3 in July. With the pregnancy I just had that ended in mc my symptoms started at 6 or 7 dpo and I had a bfp at 9 dpo. So I'm not even going to pretend I won't be testing early!

RegardingPersephone · 13/04/2023 07:21

@Star2023 @Luciechapman I can definitely see those lines!🤞

Star2023 · 13/04/2023 07:12

I can definitely see a vvv faint line too. Fingers crossed it gets stronger on Saturday!

Luciechapman · 13/04/2023 07:03

This is my test today, hard to photo and very feint so maybe I just have line eye or an evap line

Luciechapman · 13/04/2023 07:02

@Star2023 it’s hard to tel with the clear blue ones as the ink is blue, but it’s quite a strong line so fingers crossed for you! I just did a first response one and got a vvvv feint line. Not getting my hopes up yet but will test again tomorrow or Saturday xx

Star2023 · 13/04/2023 06:48

I just did a clear blue early response test and this came up within timeframe but not sure if it’s an indent/ Evap?

Star2023 · 13/04/2023 06:41

@RegardingPersephone i definitely see a line there!!!

suz2285 · 13/04/2023 06:08

@RegardingPersephone sounds positive for you! 🤞

Yeah well some of us are up at 3am googling implantation dips and some of us are peacefully snoring away quite happy at sleeping peacefully (DH 😂)

RegardingPersephone · 13/04/2023 06:04

@suz2285 I think so too! It was much clearer today! I'm 10dpo so hoping tomorrow will be even clearer.

Oh god I've been there (sleeping on the floor of the lounge) with the addition of a dog with just had surgery! It is not fun I feel for you.

suz2285 · 13/04/2023 06:02

@RegardingPersephone def see a line there! 🤞 how many dpo are you?

I'm 8-9 dpo today and have a big temp drop this morning which seems too early for AF! Really hope it's not cos she's coming super early!

I also have been sleeping terrible the last 3 nights awake from around 3.30am and not getting back to sleep really so I don't even know if my temps would be anywhere near accurate at this point! Just wait and see I guess, we're in the middle of decorating the bedroom so we're sleeping on the floor of the lounge on the mattress with our 2 cats milling about all night 😂

RegardingPersephone · 13/04/2023 05:55

Today's test!

ofCourseYouHave · 12/04/2023 21:37

The wait feels really long. I've been tired again today and a bit cranky. Again, it could just be coincidence. I'm generally quite tired most of the time anyway

Maizie83 · 12/04/2023 21:18

Yep, me! DTD twice during what I think was my fertile window - 7 days ago and 3 days go. Miscarried four months ago and my cycles have been haywire since. Had EWM and high sex drive. Waiting until 13 DPO to test. Oh the wait sucks. I always go a bit insane.

Star2023 · 12/04/2023 21:16

@RegardingPersephone i can definitely see a v faint line in that, fingers crossed for tomorrows test!

RegardingPersephone · 12/04/2023 20:27

@Star2023 @Omgreally11 I feel the same about the TCC process. It's so stressful and upsetting! I am so impatient and slightly obsessed. I've got ADHD so I tend to get hyperfocused which isn't great for this kind of thing 😂

Thanks @Omgreally11. I thought the same. Not sure it's anything. Quite crampy tonight so not sure if that's AF signalling her arrival or just a continuation of the cramps I've had since ovulation!

Put my frer into a website that is meant to sharpen lines and it showed this... Not sure if I'm imagining a line or the website is just embellishing an indent. Will see tomorrow... Not getting my hopes up.

I see a v faint line but wouldn't be able to say if it was a line or an indent! See what tomorrow brings.

@RegardingPersephone oh don’t worry I have to, just did one as I feel like I have a few symptoms (pretty sure I’m making them up) and no surprises no line. Didn’t realise how hard this TWW would be, especially as I know we didn’t really try much this cycle

That's exactly how I feel. I'm going to force myself to wait at least three days before I test! It is so difficult tho

@regardingpersephone ooh! Well maybe do another test tomorrow?

ofCourseYouHave · 12/04/2023 10:06

I'm feeling a bit sicky this morning, although that might have something to do with the Easter chocolate I ate for breakfast. Day 5 post ovulation for me - so it would be too early for symptoms for me really.

RegardingPersephone · 12/04/2023 09:58

Think I might have fallen foul of the internet cheapies again like last month as there is a slight line on this morning's but nothing on the frer I took. Don't trust them!
