Agh! This tww is agnosing! AF due in 11 days. I'm on month 6 of ttc for baby no.1! I don't know why but I just have good feelings about this month. I feel like our timing was better cos I used the clear blue opks doe the first time.

Anyone else in their two week wait?! Join me!

@ssunflower893 yeah that's a great point. Testing won't change the outcome. I'm 7dpo today and so angsty. I have a fertility charm my husband bought me when we first started trying and he said I need to carry it round with me for luck. And today I found it cracked it half. I'm so sad and feel like it's a bad sign. But also hoping it could be a good sign that I no longer need it haha.

I would definitely take that as a good luck sign you don’t need it anymore! Are you staying strong on the wait? I admit I’ve tested every day since 6DPO after saying I would try and wait for missed period. Thankfully just been using cheapies otherwise it’s going to get quite an expensive habit 😅

This was my first month of properly trying so wasn’t expecting this! Obviously it’s still really early days, but I’m praying for a sticky baby.

truthfully I’m now doubting when I ovulated because based on when I thought I ovulated I wouldn’t have tested positive yet! X

Huriya · 11/08/2023 17:41

@Mrsttcno1 Congratulations!! 🥳🥳
Was this your first month ttc? Also how many dpo are you x

sunflower893 · 11/08/2023 17:11

Hi! Joining you all in the tww! Congrats @Mrsttcno1 !
I think we are on cycle 5? After a chemical last month. Tracked ovulation this month so think I'm around 6/7 dpo. The wait is unbearable!
I did read somewhere that testing won't change the outcome which sometimes helps me curb the urge.. even though I did a cheapy test yesterday! Couldn't help myself, no surprise it was negative. Sending everyone baby dust

User657891 · 11/08/2023 16:34

@Mrsttcno1 not wrong!! Congrats!

Mrsttcno1 · 11/08/2023 16:27

Wow. For anyone who said they could see the second line this morning, I suppose you were right.

WTF.

I was on the train home at lunchtime and was suddenly overcome with the most horrible sickness feeling. I have NEVER had a sickness like that before, physically running to the bathroom on the train to be sick.

got off the train and went straight to boots to get a test and did it in the train station toilets😬

could this test be wrong? I see people talk about evap’s and indents, does that also go for this type of test false positives?

feel a bit shell shocked, sorry if this doesnt make much sense!

@user657891 @lamcatmum hahaha yes I know. 7dpo is so early. We have no self control :')

@Omgreally11 @User657891 love how we’ve all ended up testing at 7DPO knowing full well it won’t be positive yet 😂. Not me also wondering if enough time has passed since this morning to test again. Might need to ask my other half to hide the tests…

Omgreally11 · 11/08/2023 09:26

@KeKellyd79 welcome to the chat! Ohhh I am so so sorry for your loss. I can definitely see a 2nd line in that pic! I have no idea if it would dry darker or not, but have absolutely everything crossed for you! I know lots of people conceive in their 40's, so sending you so much baby dust! Xx

Thank you! I won't believe it until I see a darker line I don't think

User657891 · 11/08/2023 10:20

I've also just tested at 7DPO and got a negative result 🤦🏻‍♀️

@lamcatmum yep! I tested at 7dpo as well which is today for me! Obviously negative. Cos its just too early. But it's so tempting. I think its cos I'm always hoping for a second line!

Morning, how is everyone today? I feel like I’ve lost the plot this morning, I was up at 5am as I am away with work today and I have tablets for travel sickness on the trains, only thought this morning I don’t know if they are okay to take while pregnant/ttc. I did a quick test just incase, not a sensitive early one (so yes I just don’t know what I was thinking, blame being half asleep still!) and at the time thought I could see something so took this photo, but now I’m actually awake on the train I can see this is negative and my eyes were playing tricks on me! But that is my first pregnancy test of ttc so I’m going to celebrate that🤣 And also- I now have period cramps and really feel like AF could start today. So it’s 6:30 and already I’m exhausted 🤣

I can also see what could be a second line here! I guess wait a few days and test again to be sure. Fingers crossed for you :)

Iamcatmum · 11/08/2023 08:01

Omgreally11 · 10/08/2023 11:28

I'm thinking 10. But I know that's still too early tho. I just have no self control. What about you??

Tell me about it - it’s actually impossible to resist. I was actually more like 5DPO on Wednesday, So I’ve already caved and tested at 7DPO, which was obviously going to be negative! 😅I think it just helps me not to think about it the whole day. I’m now going to try and hold out for at least 10DPO now.

User657891 · 11/08/2023 07:56

@Mrsttcno1 I definitely see a second line and I don't think those type of tests get indents

Kellyd79 · 11/08/2023 07:38

Hello, can I join? A little background, so we had a stillbirth in Sept 2021 and started trying straight away. Fast forward to last month and after many chemicals we decided to stop trying (I'm 43 so not getting younger) anyway I didn't track as such this month, just going off when I felt ovulation pain and I did my bbt for a few days around that time. So I'm either 11dpo or 12dpo today, 2 days ago I did a test and it was stark White, last night I did a clearblue early and there was a line straight away, I stupidly forgot to take a photo within 10 minutes but I did get one about 15 minutes or so after. I've got up this morning and rechecked it and it's dried darker so it's not a squinter anymore! If there was a genuine faint line from the start would it dry abit darker so its more visible? Is it possible that the month we stop trying is the month I get a bfp? 😅
Thanks for reading my essay and I hope you're all well and coping with the awful 2ww

@Mrsttcno1 yeah I see a second line! Got everything crossed it gets darker on tomorrow's test!! Keep us updated and hoping for the same results for everyone else! Baby dust everyone!!

Mrsttcno1 · 11/08/2023 07:22

@Omgreally11 do you honestly think so? I thought I could see something when I first took it but the more time goes on I can’t see anything!! I’m only 9/10dpo based on when I think I ovulated, I do have some FRER in the house so I might take one of those on Sunday if AF doesn’t arrive today. I’ve got cramp this morning which does feel like AF cramp to me so we will see!🤞🏻

Omgreally11 · 11/08/2023 07:18

@mrsttcno1 it could be an indent or an evap line cos I can't tell if there's colour in it or not. But definitely don't count yourself out yet. What does everyone else think?

I'm 6dpo today and finding it so hard not to test, even though I know its too early.

I definitely definitely see a second line there!!!!!! How many dpo are you? Maybe see if you get get a first response and take that? Or definitely test again tomorrow!!
