Anyone else in the two week wait??

I think im going mad. I always put my tests online and they always say negative. I dont see anything on this test but 3 different sites do! Do you? I know im mad and im out this cycle but its so weird all these sites say there is something!

6dpo for me but I did end up bringing one test with me while we are away! I’m keeping it until Friday morning so I’ll be 10dpo by then so still early but I’m desperate to test haha.

@TheUniqueMember I remember with my youngest being so gassy and bloated and saying to DH it must mean I was pregnant haha it was only after I though thank goodness I was otherwise I had no excuse for all the loud gas that was omitting from me!

I'm hoping I'll be able to wait until the weekend as I'll be 11dpo-12dpo but I might end up testing on Friday. 😅

@Slippedonmahbeans00 so I tested last Friday because I realised we’d nailed the s*x timing, got weirdly hopeful and found a test in the back of the cupboard, but to be honest the whole time I knew I was wasting the test (plus it had been over a year since I tested - I’ve been abstaining for my sanity!) I was around 9dpo I think, so too early.
if AF doesn’t show this week I will test again on Friday. I know for certain I ovulated by the 10th July (as my boobs got sore that evening) and my luteal phase is 13 days. Problem is I’ve had so many MC’s now I don’t trust that a test means anything other than we had another fertilised egg that didn’t work. 🤦‍♀️
God I must sound cynical. This is the sound of self-preservation right here 😅😱

Oh, I certainly know it's not possible to be related to pregnancy. You're not raining on my parade - I think if you're ttc it's likely common knowledge you won't feel pregnancy symptoms until 1 or 2+ weeks after conception.

It's just weird how I have never felt this intensity before (other than occasional light bloating) 😳 and I wanted to post something!😅

No, I haven't tried that but thanks for the suggestion.

@TheUniqueMember sorry about your bloating! That sounds uncomfortable 😣
It’s really worth trying to remember (take it from someone who did this whole merry go round for years, years ago) that until implantation symptoms physically cannot be to do with pregnancy. It’s just not scientifically possible. So we have to remember (I know it’s super hard) that “weird” symptoms before about 10-12dpo are only to do with how strong of a progesterone response your body’s having to surpassing ovulation.
I say this in the kindest possible way, I’m absolutely not trying to rain on your parade - sometimes it helps though to put things in perspective because we do tend to obsess during the TWW.

On the subject of bloating, have you tried Wild Dose? I’ve been using it recently and it does temper it somewhat. 😊

6dpo today. Sorry if this is TMI but I have never been so gassy and bloated in my life, my stomach feels so heavy and uncomfortable.

@Slippedonmahbeans00 its called ovusense. It confirms rather than predicts, it’s for people with complex endocrinologies like myself but can be used by those without to help track dpo.

@Moominmamato3 only if my period doesn’t come by Friday this week. Waste of money otherwise, with how my luck goes.

@Moominmamato3yes we were! Thank you, fingers crossed you have a successful cycle too 🤞

@Slippedonmahbeans00 thank you, I’m 42 so time isn’t on our side but we’re still hopeful 😁

@Slippedonmahbeans00 glad I’m not the only one haha I’m hoping positive thoughts may help!

Hi @Vixminator I think I was on a thread with you last month? Sorry if I’ve mixed you up with another poster. Fingers crossed for you that you get a positive soon.

Hey ladies, I’ll join you. I’m currently 4dpo, cycle 8 ttc after a mmc in November. So we’ve officially been trying almost a year now 😢 GP phone appointment is on Thursday to discuss so I’m hoping it scares my body into conceiving lmao 🤣

@Slippedonmahbeans00 We are off to Center Parcs, we booked it when I was pregnant earlier in the year so didn’t want to get on a plane. Plus with the big age gaps between our three I find there is something for each of them to do alongside the swimming so just easier.

@lm1986 I’m pretty sure with all of mine I didn’t get anything until 12dpo, definitely with my last it was really close to my period even with early detection tests.

@Or4nge sending positive thoughts! When you planning to test again?

5dpo for me, went to car boot and saw the cutest Winnie the Pooh sketches so picked them up in the hope I will soon be planning a nursery!

Im1986, with my daughter, I used one of those internal monitoring devices to confirm ovulation after the fact, and I didn’t get a positive test until 12dpo with her. 9-10dpo is when the vast majority of implantations occur and it takes up to 48hrs for hcg to be detectable so any bfn test taken before 12dpo cannot be counted as absolute. Keep your chin up!

I caved and tested think 10dpo was tracking through strips. Bfn so reckon im out! Used easy at home which ive been told our good to test early!

Hi ladies, hoping some of the luck going around this thread might rub off on me.
I think I’m either 13,12 or 11pm today. Did a Clearblue early test on Friday at 11,10 or 9 dpo and bfn.
Background: Have one daughter, nearly 5 years old, from a previous marriage. Have a complex hormonal disorder called Non Classic Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia than among other things affects cycles and ovulation. With my current husband, we have had four mc, have no hope of being able to conceive so are not trying, but have regular enough sex that it’s usually within my fertile window (or what I think is my fertile window) every month.
I think we dtd either day before, two days before, or on day or ovulation (it was a Sunday and a Wednesday and I think I O’d Monday, Tuesday or Wednesday).
posting this from bed, in all likelihood I’ll go to the loo in a second and AF will turn up but I’m hoping that my unusual breast soreness (both instead of only one) and size means something.
😀

Hi all ~ kept myself busy and distracted today which is good but did order some tests which will be here tomorrow so I can test when I’m back from holiday next weekend. I won’t be tempted to test Monday before we go as I’ll only be 6dpo at that point so way too early.

Has anyone else caved and tested again?

@Slippedonmahbeans00 I do try and be careful of what I’m eating and try and avoid my bath being too hot as I love them really really hot, luckily the heat is helping with that atm as I don’t feel like sitting in a boiling bath right now!

@lm1986 we all do it but I wouldn’t lose hope as you say it was early. I think I end up testing early because it’s something tangible to do rather than just symptom spot if that makes sense.

Its because im symptom spotting everything, vertigo when I wake up, nausea and headaches all.which are probably just progesterone but didnt get them last month! Bloody nightmare!
