Back at the start of another TWW… anyone else at the same point and fancy being TWW buddies?
We have tried the SMEP method and conceive plus lubricant this month, time will tell if they have made a difference!🤞🏼

I’ve done a digital this morning too! Not pregnant of course😫

I now have ran out of any form of pregnancy test and don’t plan on buying any until next cycle🥲

Emiily887 · 24/09/2024 08:56

It’s so hard but at least we have eachother again next cycle!🩷
So happy for everyone who’s got a positive this cycle and really hope they’re all sticky beans 🥹
@owlcat24 so sorry af has made her ugly appearance for you, don’t think I’ll be far behind now.
Good luck to anyone else testing today 🥰

My AF arrived this morning so that's me officially out. Thanks for all the support ladies, I really hope I don't see you in the October TTC thread (in the nicest possible way 😁)

It’s so hard isn’t it @PennyPencils ☹️ I really hope they get stronger for you 🩷
I did my second digital this morning and it says not pregnant again, I think I’ve had a chemical😭

So sorry about this @Emiily887 ☹️ So deflating isn't it!! I've got all my usual AF pains so I think I'm out this cycle. The thought of having to do all this waiting around and symptom spotting again to possibly be let down again is draining. I try to think there's our little babies waiting for us we just aren't at the right time yet for them ❤️

Here's today's.
Yesterday's AM and PM at the top and The last two are today's 5am then 7am
Feels like AF is coming 😓
I know I shouldn't but I was feeling really positive and would be gutted now if it doesn't continue. No matter how much we tell ourselves not to get excited it's impossible not to.

I can see those lines getting darker, keep positive 🤞🏼 will you do a digital and when is your AF due?

LuxyLocket · 24/09/2024 07:49

Aww @Emiily887 I’ve just seen this I’m so sorry lovely it’s so confusing isn’t it and unfair what our silly bodies do to us when you’ve been mucked about by those faint lines!! 😢❤️❤️

@PennyPencils Can def see the progression in a couple of hours, there’s a chance your feeling like AF is coming is actually better news, is AF due on today?

it’s impossible not to get excited, I was daydreaming all sorts last night and sort of counting dates etc and thinking ahead to what we could be doing then I was like stop!!!
it’s so hard. Hugs to all

LuxyLocket · 24/09/2024 07:46

Morning girls! Hope everyone’s ok.

aww @Emiily887 I completely agree I’ve been so grateful to you all for all the support and looking forward to keeping in touch next cycle.

more extremely faint lines this morning. Clearly picking up something but at this point I’m not particularly re assured as the hcg doesn’t seem to be building very quickly. Ahh well. One or two more days then we shall see what AF does.
feel soo tired this morning and been awake since 4.30. Trying to keep my eyes open at work 👀

@PennyPencils it was the clear blue early detection digital, I think they’re 10miu 😫
I really don’t understand, unless it was a dodgy test. I had drunk a lot of water before I tested today so I guess if there’s not much hcg yet that could have caused a not pregnant result but I just have a bad feeling 😭
Regardless though, I’m really truly grateful for all of you this cycle and if it isn’t meant to be this time, I’m looking forward to hopefully continuing this supportive thread with you girls!🩷

Oh I didn't realise those digits had early ones. Oh that's frustrating.
Well my lines are no darker today and I'm cramping a lot. Bit worried

I think I’ve done about five tests today feeling deflated😫

Bb542 · 23/09/2024 17:32

It's official... I think I'm pregnant. 3 different brands. I'm in absolute shock. Really thought it was a chemical. Not out of the woods yet and also a lot of worries as I've had two miscarriages 😭, but the lines are getting darker. Hopefully everything works out ❤️

So so happy for you😍🥰

PennyPencils · 23/09/2024 21:23

Emiily887 · 23/09/2024 21:11

How is everyone else doing?🥰

Those digitals are 25miu aren't they so not great for early testing. I can't believe you'd go from that good line to nothing straight away. Can you get more cheapies?

I was raving about easy @ home tests before and I've realised I use One Step tests, sorry.

Be good If you could do that same test again with FMU to really compare.

Kiwiburgh · 23/09/2024 21:23

I'm really sorry to hear lots of you guys are stuck in limbo, it's absolutely awful and anxiety ridden :(

@Emiily887 so sorry lovely 💕💕its still early and there is still time. You haven’t reached the first day of AF yet. I know you are preparing incase and I don’t want to give you false hope but you’re due on Wed or Thurs right? I was talking to a friend today and she had some signs and had vvv faint lines like us on the strips and took a digital a few days before AF and it’s was negative and she thought well that’s that then. 2 days after her missed period bam there is was positive.

Edited

Thank you! App says tomorrow, but probably Wednesday going by other cycles. I hope it was wrong and just because I’ve drank a lot today but I just don’t feel hopeful with the cramps 😭 xxx

Bb542 · 23/09/2024 20:47

Thanks everyone🥰 I'm not getting my hopes up and will keep an eye on the line progression.

Hope everyone is ok and so sorry to those with a bfn so far. Remember, you're not out until AF shows up xx

MrsS11 · 23/09/2024 20:39

Ahh congratulations @Bb542 that's amazing! Bfn for me today too, my periods are settling down still but think I'm due between Tue -thurs. However I'm currently snuggled up with my 7yo who I tested negative with until I was a couple of days overdue 🥰 so not completely giving up, but trying to make peace with the idea of whatever comes next

@Bb542 congratulations!! Amazing news!

Emiily887 · 23/09/2024 19:29

I’ve taken a digital and it’s come back as not pregnant😭 I don’t have a clue what was going on with yesterdays but it must have been a false positive😔😔

@Bb542 that's brilliant! You've had so many days not knowing what to think. So happy for you

MsCactus · 23/09/2024 18:11

That's such great news @Bb542 congratulations!!!

I caved and took a pregnancy test at 7 dpo (I know, what am I thinking). It was stark negative and now feeling a bit down - I should have waited a few more days to test!!! It's so hard
