Hey all
My tww starts again today. 4th cycle. Just had 2 full days of positive opks and lots of bd with dh.

So let the crazy symptom spotting begin and the madness that is the tww.

Anyone else in the tww - hoping to hear lots of bfp stories xx

Any news you two?
I'm still keeping fingers crossed for you. Xx

Bfn first thing this morning, then af announced her imminent arrival. I guess I'll see some if you for the 2 week wait very soon. Really hope all still waiting have a nice clear positive soon.

ThreeBeanRap · 13/11/2014 09:09

I came off the pill in July and since then have had a completely regular 28 day cycle. Going by that, AF should have arrived yesterday so I tested this morning but got a BFN :-( using a Clearblue Digital test. Could it be wrong?! I was quite dehydrated and there wasn't much of a sample…anyone had a negative result with one of these then a positive?

NoArmaniNoPunani · 13/11/2014 09:24

I feel like crap, trying to hold back from crying at work. Bloody hormones

loopylou1984 · 13/11/2014 12:16

Sorry to hear that Boris.Hugs to you.
Three, it's possible that there's not enough hormone yet, but it's also possible af is just a little late. Leave it a couple of days and test again tomorrow.
Noarmani, big hugs to you. This is just how I felt last week. Has af made an appearance yet? Xx

HairStylistToBoris · 13/11/2014 12:43

Noarmarni I've been like that recently too. Too many hormones and too much body watching. It's an emotional roller coaster hey? Be good to yourself right now.
How's things with you Sam? Getting ready for another mad month? X

ThreeBeanRap · 13/11/2014 14:06

Thanks samc85, you're right. It's just because I'm usually bang on time…I don't really feel like AF is on the way either – I just can't stop thinking about it and it's driving me a bit mad. I'll get another test and try again in a few days (or tomorrow!)

loopylou1984 · 13/11/2014 18:01

Lol three, yes, I say test in a couple of days but in reality I got through my fair share of tests last cycle! Have you got some cheapies? Good luck Smile

Boris, yes getting ready for round 13, I have purchased a bb thermometer, pre seed and some new ovulation tests! Am going to give it the best possible go while waiting for my referral appointment to come through!

NoArmaniNoPunani · 13/11/2014 19:23

I've bought exactly the same three things today!
AF due Saturday but I just know I'm out for this month. It feels like it's on it's way. I'm having a glass of wine

loopylou1984 · 13/11/2014 21:32

How funny!

I just enjoyed a glass of wine with a meal out, the only perks of bfns :). X

CrazyCatMomma · 13/11/2014 22:19

Aw nice to read your posts, doing our best to keep things upbeat Flowers Sorry to everyone who's had bfns and good luck for our next TWW! I am going to start using OPKs as of tomorrow. Have already got charts with my BBT but my thermometer only measures to point one of a degree °C - is that accurate enough..?

Patientlywaiting2014 · 13/11/2014 22:44

Hi ladies, I'm back! Not quite the tww yet but just had a positive opk tonight, so I might be back on the bus shortly :) how is everyone getting on? I think November/December is our months!! Fx x

loopylou1984 · 14/11/2014 06:52

Crazy cat, I bought one with 2 decimal places as some ladies on another thread said 1 decimal place wasn't enough... Guessing it can be a very subtle change ??

loopylou1984 · 14/11/2014 06:53

Patiently - fingers crossed for December BFPs Smile

HairStylistToBoris · 14/11/2014 09:24

Still got my fingers and toes crossed for a bfp for all those still waiting...

I'm loving the shopping you ladies are doing for technical stuff for next month.... Bring on temping and charting...!

Fingers crossed as well for Xmas bfps for us all.

HairStylistToBoris · 14/11/2014 10:06

Just bought myself a thermometer. Anything you ladies can do... But what is pre seed?

Nightowlagain · 14/11/2014 10:37

Hi guys, I posted a little at the beginning but I've been keeping a low profile for the last few days, trying not to think about it too much. As if!

I'm due on today but no sign. I'm usually early, so at least there isn't the horrible waiting and convincing myself that it's worked! I'm having lower back pains that I usually don't get, so obviously now I'm trying not to overthink it. And I've been more bloated feeling than normal. Low level cramps but nothing as bad as when my period is coming. I just hate the disappointment so try really hard to think it's not happened. So sick of this tww torture, it's half my life!

Hope everyone's feeling ok, I'm sure I'll be there on the next one as well!

loopylou1984 · 14/11/2014 11:01

Boris - pre seed is a lubricant which is very similar to fertile cm. it has some really good reviesws and is meant to make it easier for the swimmers to reach the egg.

Night owl, it's not over till af arrives, keeping my fingers crossed for you. The disappointment each month is horrible, and the waiting is a killer! Hoping you don't have too long to wat either way. Have you tested? Xx

Nightowlagain · 14/11/2014 12:13

I have tested a couple of times, but only with cheap ones and not today. It's very tempting to keep doing it but I'm going to try and not. Might buy some FRERs on my way home, but that's tempting fate! Time will tell..

loopylou1984 · 14/11/2014 12:27

Talking from experience I would say only test every few days if you can wait. Not only is it expensive, but it's horrible to keep seeing white sticks! Xx

HairStylistToBoris · 14/11/2014 12:36

Nightowl - good luck! I also tried to minimise testing as the negative tests got me down. And it felt like I was somewhat pissing on money!

Joey0805 · 14/11/2014 14:31

I hate it...the little lone line. And my CBFM which says Not Pregnant in massive letters. Urgh. (I am now well into my fourth week of waiting, so over this cycle!)

loopylou1984 · 14/11/2014 16:51

Oh Joey I completely know how you feel, what cycle day are you on? Xx

NoArmaniNoPunani · 14/11/2014 17:57

AF has just arrived. Onwards and upwards, let's hope we get some luck with the pre seed
