Anyone just started their dreaded 2WW ? 👀👋🏼

keeping everything crossed that tomorrow confirms it 🤞

@EllieWales I dont know, same brand tests so I guess it could happen on all of them? I so hope its a BFP but atm I dont really believe it. We will see if it gets darker. 🤞

@Lh4503 that looks like a bfp to me too, surely you couldn’t have 2 indent lines in one day??? I think this is positive 😁

Looks like a BFP to me!

@EllieWales well ive done 3 tests in the space of 24 hours 😆 so unlike me. But the one I've just done is deffo slightly darker (though still very very faint) Am I losing the plot or is that an indent line? I've upped the saturation to see if it's pink and not grey 🙈 I'm so paranoid.

@Lh4503 I really hope it was, the limbo is the absolute worst! Fingers crossed it gets stronger tomorrow 🤞

@WF1990 I’m glad you’re feeling a bit better today. Good food and a bit of reality tv is the one 👌 glad you’re away this weekend it’ll be a nice reset for you this cycle. Hoping you get some clarity on next steps soon.

I think I ovulated yesterday bbt and rhr rose slightly last night but not the drastic rise I would’ve liked to confirm it so I’m going to wait and see what is says tomorrow morning. We DTD Sunday and Tuesday so well timed if I did ovulate yesterday, if possible we’ll give it another go tonight to be safe in case it’s delayed (again). I can’t believe I’m not even in the TWW yet 🤪

@WF1990 Sometimes a cry a sandwich and some TV can really help 🩷 You dont have to be strong, this is hard and emotional. But your getting answers. 🤞Glad your okay. Sounds like the trip away is just at the right time 😊

Thank you! I dont really know what to think at this point, definitely getting impatient and a little scared i really dont want to get my hopes up and that test is doing exactly that. 🙈

@EllieWales morninggg, well my temp has risen again this morning and I did a test and at first I thought it was nothing but im sure i see a flicker of a line. Mind you we've had a few in here that have looked positive and then haven't been and it's so faint im questioning if its just me hoping lol. No spotting since yesterday afternoon either so I guess the next few days will tell. Last time I didn't get a BFP until 13dpo and it was super faint and im 12dpo today. I hate this back and forth not knowing 🙈

Hope your doing okay? Keep us updated with the LH!

@WF1990 Sending hugs, hope your feeling a bit better after a sleep ❤️

@WF1990 I hope you’re feeling ok today, sending a big hug

@Lh4503 let us know how you get on with your test this morning 🤞

@WF1990 sorry to hear that! Treat yourself with kindness and keep the faith 🫶🏻

@WF1990 awww im so sorry, I've been thinking about you today and hoping it went well. 😔 Let yourself feel everything you need to, and yes as Ellie said get some treats, do some self care and remember that this is the beginning now, the hospital will have a plan and if it's PG tablets then the next few months you'll have a much better chance than you've had so far! ❤️ And we're here if you need support.

@EllieWales I had a little this morning but it seems to have stopped since. We will see what happens with my BBT tomorrow and I'll do another test in the morning I'llbe 12DPO then! Really could go either way at this point.

@WF1990 I’m so sorry 😔 get yourself some nice treats and take it easy tonight. I know you’re disappointed, try to remember this is one step closer 🫶

hope you’re feeling ok @Seasaltandgrass you’re not out until you’re out but at this stage you would typically expect a faint line. You could have ovulated later than you thought though, try again in a couple days hope you get your bfp 🤞

@Lh4503 any more spotting as the days gone on? Are you planning on testing again?

I feel like I’m ovulating today but I don’t really know what’s real or not anymore! I’ve been having some cramps and just generally feel tired and unmotivated despite sleeping well last night

@seasaltandgrass awww its the worst feeling. You could have ovulated later. From what I understand about BBT if you te.p hasn't dropped yet then your still in the luteal phase if you see a drop then AF is coming. Your still in, I know it's stressful maybe wait 2 days an test again if AF hasn't arrived? Thats my tule of thumb. And try and do stuff to take your mind off it while you wait, easier said than done 😊

Thanks for replying That does help actually.

I think I ovulated around 3rd August.

That would make me about 17dpo now, which is why I’m so thrown off AF is never this late for me.

I know you’re right that it could just be late ovulation rather than late AF, but the weird thing is all the symptoms: sore/heavy boobs, darker nipples, loads of vivid dreams, lots of gas and feeling like I constantly need the loo.

My Apple Watch temps and resting HR have also stayed up instead of dipping like they usually do before AF, so I really feel like something’s different this time.

I’m feeling a bit lost and just looking for some comfort or shared experiences.
My period was due yesterday (I’m usually very regular and normally come on first thing in the morning), but nothing so far. I’ve had loads of symptoms this cycle, sore/darker nipples, bloating, vivid dreams, fatigue, basically everything that made me think “this is it.”

We tested Sunday morning and again today (first morning urine, using First Response), but both were negative. It’s left me feeling really flat and confused. Can symptoms be this strong and it still just be PMS? Or is there still a chance it’s too early for a positive?

I don’t want to keep wasting tests, but not knowing is driving me mad.

Has anyone else had strong symptoms, a late AF, but negative tests that eventually turned into a BFP? Or did AF just show up late?
Just need a bit of reassurance really, feeling very emotional today.

@WF1990 exactly the same here, my cycles/symptoms only seemed to start when I started TTC, I think its because we're more aware of everything.

I dunno, just had another small bit of brown spotting so I feel like it's the slow start of AF coming. But I'm hoping it's not 🤞

@EllieWales yeah it's good to do but obviously is frustrating when its very up and down.

No spotting this morning!

@WF1990 good luck today 🩷

@Lh4503 are you still spotting this morning?

@Lh4503 I can’t say I do, sometimes I think I can feel something but I also know I can convince myself of anything 😅 just going to assume it’s coming over the next few days and keep an eye on bbt to confirm! I’m glad I did LH this month though I would’ve been way off on ovulation timing had I not.

Good luck today @WF1990 🫶
