Two week wait anyone?

Anyone else currently in TWW? I’m 4dpo and anxiously waiting until I can test.

I am currently trying to conceive my 3rd baby. I have 2 girls who are 6 and 8. And I’m desperately hoping they to see a positive test
My periods have been very irregular for the past year or so. But got a positive ovulation test on Sunday morning and have done BD with hubby last Wed, Saturday night and Monday night.
🤞🤞

Im also anxious because as ridiculous as it sounds I’ve had 2 online readings from 2 different psychics last month, one said I would conceive in November and give birth in August and one said September and December would be important months. Now I can’t get it out of my head that I won’t convince until the end of the year (if that even happens) 🙈🙈

I had no problems conceiving my first two girls 6 and 8 years ago, happen on first try both times so I am desperately hoping it will be the same this time. I am 30 now so still young.

sorry for the long read! X

@BoldPinkAnt thats a really noticeable difference! So you would be 12 DPO? A digital might show up now.

I'm 7dp5dt now, the line looks like its starting to darken more compared to the top one which was vvvf on 5dp5dt. I'm not sure whether i should test on my clear blue yet or jus wait for otd.

Not with OPKs, but I pretty much know when I’m ovulating due to cm and ovulation pain. When I’ve tracked in the past it’s dead on day 14. It’s very odd, never had a period this early before. I have started taking new conception vitamins so I wonder if it’s that?

12dpo for me, tested this morning and tonight and super negative tests. Have been shining the tests into every light, looking in every angle, taking pics on flash, no hint of a line 🤣

I am quite upset but I’m ok. I just kind of hoped it would happen quickly like it did with my first 2 pregnancies. I did use ovulation tests with them both too but only had to use them one cycle because it happened first try with both of them. But I was very young then, had no issues like irregular periods and thyroid problems like I do now.

My boobs are in agony now can’t walk without a bra on 🤣 my girls wanted to bounce on the trampoline with them this evening. No chance could I do that 🤣
and still on and off cramping. Hopefully AF will come Monday/Tuesday. I will kind of be glad to see it, as they have been so irregular lately I’m always glad to see it just so I know my body is working 🙈 if it does come Monday it will only have been been 2 months exactly since my last one, where as the last few have been closer to 3 months! Hopefully the thyroid medication I’m on now is starting to regulate my hormones/cycles.

congratulations to you girls seeing positive tests I love to see it ❤️
you girls who aren’t seeing it this month like myself please keep in touch on this thread. It’s definitely nice being able to chat about it with others in the same situation xx

Hi ladies,

So I am out this month 😞. My breast pain has gone away, I am wiping away red tinged cervical mucus and I have a period headache (I get a headache the day before my period is due which lasts all day and no amount of pain killers help it). Fingers crossed for next month xx

@AG1993 sorry to hear 😢 have you been testing? Xxx

How's this for needing to squint lol

I'm just going to take this as my answer for this month but may test again if period is late, which is predicted for today or Monday. Also 10dpo.

I can totally see something on yours but I understand not wanting to get your hopes up. Would you test again in the next day or so?

I can see a tiny line/shadow, you’re only 10dpo so really hoping over the next few days it turns into a more visible line! 🤞 xxx

@2BabyOrNot2Baby I'm 10dpo today. See I didn't think it was obvious at all. You really have to squint and look in the light to even see it. But there's deffo like a shadow there. What did your evap look like?
I did ask my partner and he said he could see it but it's more like a shadow so not a positive result

@GreenPickle unfortunately not, I had the other negative from this morning and it was in the bathroom bin. Partner has just taken all the rubbish out the bathroom bin (probably because he knows I'm crazy and will look back at tests lol). But the one this morning was definitely stark white with no evap line.
Think this is just an evap. I'll attach a better pic.

Only 10dpo though! This is nice data www.countdowntopregnancy.com/pregnancy-test/dpo-chart.php?dpo=10

This is my first cycle ttc so I was testing from like 5dpo 😂 and then at 9dpo I got rid of everything from then and just kept 9+10dpo to compare and going to carry on until AF or a super clear BFP 🤞

I had an evap/indent earlier and yours looks a lot more obvious. Are you sure that's not a line?? What dpo are yo?

I took this test around 5pm. Tbf my wee was very diluted. I think I've lost the plot and I'm imagining lines. It really does make you crazy. I know it's negative!! I think these tests show evap lines 😫 X

I feel like a see a shadow of something? Do you have another test to compare against? Might be able to see if it's slightly darker x

I'm not holding out much hope. Been really hungry today no matter what I've eaten and only other symptom I've got is still feeling nauseous, so fully expecting AF. There's always next month x

Hi,

i'm currently going through IVF, a fresh cycle i am 6dp5dt.

see pic attached does that look like faint lines or am i seeing things🙈

Yes looks good!!!
Wait till official test day...
I had ivf and first positive on 5dp5dt and it was very faint. I did one the next day and it was very negative so was heart broken. Waited till test day and was a very very strong positive!!! My little boy is 2.
Your tests are looking promising xxxx

deliwoman1 · 20/04/2024 14:50

@MaybeBaby2024, top one is today, 12dpo. Started off with a very faint one at 10dpo. Congrats on your good news! A visible positive at 8dpo is great!

@Aisling1010 and @Optimistic66 , I’m so sorry. It’s not the end until AF shows but I know what it’s like to feel so deflated.

@moosey89 congrats! No doubt a positive. What dpo are you today?

I’m feeling very on the fence about my chances of success with this pregnancy. Everything seemed so much more definitive by this point with my DD.

@deliwoman1 don’t worry this is great line progression 🥰❤️

Hi ladies, I've tested again today and it was another BFN. I did have indent lines on it, which seems to be becoming more and more of a regular occurrence for me. Would anyone be able to suggest a brand of HPTs to use? I don't want to straight away jump into FRERs as they're quite difficult to get hold of, and if I'm using them multiple times it can get quite expensive. I currently use easy@home OPKs, and have noticed a few of you are using that brand for HPTs too, but just wanted to ask what they're like for indents and such?

I can see the indent with my own eyes but then the camera isn't picking it up very well. I've attached a photo anyways but I feel like I'm driving myself crazy as I can only slightly see it when it's inverted but jumping out at me in person 😩

I can see a veryyyyy faint! How many dpo are you again?
