My first TWW 🙈

Thankyou we ended up at hospital with her as she had a temp and then a bad rash but she's OK it was just a post viral rash and nothing to worry about... which we did.

How's everyone doing?

I'm now day 5 of cycle and rather panicked cos our donor goes away on day 13 for 12 days so I'm pretty sure we are gonna miss it but seeing him day 10 and maybe day 12 if his plans finish early enough so hoping I either ovulate really early or really late haha 🥴

Aw sorry about the bfn what a funny month for us all. I've got a different brand of sticks n amazon basket this next cycle but not going to order till later on as I can't be addicted to peeing on sticks if there are no sticks 😅 I'm still unsure whether I maybe had a chemical again or if I had 3 dodgy sticks... my period is quite heavy compared to usual and cramps are intense adding to that my 3 Yr old dd has had sickness bug for 2 days it's been a fun time for us here and our house looks like a laundrette with all our bedding and sofa cushions we have had to wash 🥴 had I been pregnant I would have been using a grab stick to support her haha

Here's hoping next cycle is the cycle for us 🙏

Well I am now cycle day 1

Boooo

But onwards and upwards... least I can blame the sticks now lol.
How is everyone else doing?

Thankyou @Lemonbell
I've had more faints but also a couple of stark negatives and I due on yesterday/today. Had pms symptoms for over a week now but keep going to check as keep thinking I am on but not. I have seen some people test negative on day they were due on and then a few days later get positives so I'm not throwing the towel in yet, as I've said to others it's not over till af arrives. I had a CP last cycle but didn't start getting the faints till closer to af but I am telling myself it's possible to be happening again. I have another clear blue but it's 25miu and don't think there is any point using it until 10miu get any stronger... even if that's a few cycles away. I keep looking at day 12s stick which was the strongest i had and the line is still there and I'm just so confused. I've added extra pressure to myself stupidly as after my 12 week loss in Feb I told myself I want to be at least pregnant by their due date in August and it is fast approaching. I'm just waiting for af at this point. I have 2 cheap sticks left and a clear blue and have a different brand of cheap sticks for next cycle so will use up the rest of these sticks over next 2 evenings and then if not on after another few days will use the clear blue. I tracked with opk and could feel I was ovulating so I'm just hoping if I am it was just taking the maximum time to implant but who knows. Its such a frustrating time lol

Sorry your af came... onto the next cycle and good luck to you. I always feel a bit refreshed and will treat myself to a beverage when I get mine lol xx

This was today's right after but I had to edit to show up on here 😫

Aw did af show? I always feel a bit refreshed by time I get af and try focus on the next cycle... I hate the inbetweeny.

Well I don't know what is happening with me. I did another test and it's like the previous one so wife got a clear blue dye test however after i had dipped it and waited for it do its thing I read instructions saying it was a 25miu so I feel like i wasted it. It had what looked like a slight line but I now have actual line eyes. I took it apart to see better and put it so the line I'm looking at is in line with today's faint squinter on the other test 🥴

At this point I'm still completely expecting af in next 2 days esp as I have had period pain for like 4 or 5 days now. Arggg

I had some spotting today which means my period will start in a few days (probably Tuesday) so looks like I’m out for this round!

Keeping fingers crossed for you all and sending lots of baby dust your way ✨✨✨✨

Aw no heartburn is awful. Not this early on but when I was about 5 weeks pregnant I had the worst heartburn I saw you can use rennies in pregnancy and was delighted cos it felt like I'd swallowed a car battery acid it was the worst... so could very well be an early sign. Oooo I really hope you are and we have a full thread of positives hehe. I'm sending baby vibes over. Yea I keep going to loo thinking I've come on but haven't and today I've had what I can only describe as period pain without the period. I'm still telling myself I will probably come on when due but due to the amount of chemical losses I've had I feel its probably more self preservation. My wife has said she's gonna pee on a stick to ensure its not the sticks but they have been negative up to now... am like don't waste my precious sticks (like gollum 🤣). Here's hoping for progression for myself and a start of bfp for you to progress. Hoping a bit of Guns and roses does the job as I've got that on at full volume on bbc2 currently haha

Aww it is such a rubbish 2 weeks isn't it... I mean like I said before it wasn't until 13/14dpo I could see my positive last time without squinting and so I always tell myself it's not over till the fat lady sings... or af 🤣 so don't count yourself out till then. My stick this morning was stark white and I only did it this eve cos even when I was pregnant I'd always have a better reading in the evening and I am unfortunately addicted to poas 👀. It will happen. That's what I keep telling myself... maybe not this cycle but at some point it will happen.

Yea as I say I'm classing it as the sticks just trying to have my life atm as 4 days ago I got a similar one but will do daily and see if any progression and if not ill be ordering a different brand next time. I have a 25miu for when I have darker lines whichever cycle that may be so I'm not 100% relying on these. I'm due on on mon/Tues... I always seem to have 14 days after ovulation whenever that happens in a 5 day window, since my mmc my periods haven't been very regular but my LP seems to be always 14 days before af so fingers crossed it doesn't show haha. Im keeping everything crossed for all of us 💕

My boobs feel full and my right and left feels sore and my back is horrendous (with disc disease it's usually pretty bad but it does feel worse but telling myself the heat is causing inflammation) xx

Again... I'm unsure if I'm just seeing what I want to see but will keep on testing. At this point I'm still telling myself it's cheap sticks. I feel like this 2ww is taking forever. 11 dpo now x

@Gabgab
I do see a line 😊

I can definitely see a line here and have seen plenty of pics where people have said they can see one and I can’t see one at all!!! Eeeep keeping everything crossed for you ✨🤞🏻➕

That looks positive to me :)

Losing my mind in the tww and convinced I’ve seen a line on the test within 5 minutes! Think I’m 11 or 12dpo. Coming off the back of two miscarriages back to back in April and May both around 5 weeks. On Cyclogest now and hoping third time lucky.

Aw no worries I suddenly remembered I still had them on my phone from December. Took me a while to look at them after losing the baby at 12 weeks but I'm now staring at them myself like this is a line and this might be an evap lol. I thought it might help people not throw in the towel yet. I know people who were a week late before getting their positive like one day nothing then next thick positive so for any other cycles you may have never class yourself out until period comes. It's just such a hard mental a physical to do to ourselves every 2 weeks...for 2 weeks... yes I had bad back pain in early preg but I also have disc disease which got worse in pregnancy so although I have horrific pain atm I'm kind of telling myself it's the disc disease not early pregnancy until I know for sure. My boobs do feel fuller today though too 🤔 again alot of this happens when due on too haha.
Yes I always like to have slightly better sticks just in case I start getting positives as these cheapies in pic can cause evap lines (even within correct time frame) so until I get a few I don't actually class it as pregnant... I have it in back of mind but still like to wait till I don't need to squint or edit pics haha. Good luck for tomorrow's test but don't be discouraged if it is negative 💕 and I'm glad the pic of my December sticks has reassured you 😊
