TWW - anyone else testing in early March?

590 replies

I'm just starting the dreaded TWW and could use some company. All the other threads on this seem to have reached the testing stage already.

I am 2-3 dpo and planning to test on 4 March. We have been TTC for about 18 months and are getting fertility treatment. I am pretty sure I ovulated this month though, so I have have high hopes for this cycle.

Ladies I've had a brilliant idea. I'm going to invoke sods law for this cycle. I'm going to book myself a massage for end of next week and get a really nice bottle of red wine in for myself and a massive block of Brie. Then it'll be sods law when I get a BFP and can't have any of them Grin

Hahaha that sounds like an awesome idea Ethel!
I can feel the dark loom of AF creeping up.... dull aches in tummy ☹️

ethelfleda · 01/03/2017 12:23

It might be early pregnancy cramps, they feel just like AF cramps Smile

dangle90 · 01/03/2017 12:26

Just with the negative tests, now this, think I'm best just accepting it's not this month rather than trying to give myself false hope, feel really fed up today, wishing I'd of come off the pill sooner ect ect.....then get annoyed with myself because people wait a lot longer than what I have so far so I shouldn't grumble! Sad

boatrace30 · 01/03/2017 12:34

Haha ethel. Great idea 😊
Welcome new people.
Fingers crossed for everyone.
dangle, I know that feeling, I'm still in my optimistic phase this month but it won't last!!

dangle90 · 01/03/2017 12:40

So frustrating, you have this unrealistic expectation that you'll just get preggers the first month of trying, then 4 month in your realising it's not that straight forward at all.

Hi all, I've been lurking but haven't jumped in yet!

AF due today/tomorrow and think I'm pretty much out. Have had spotting for a couple of days which I often have before AF.

Had a crazy moment yesterday (12dpo) though where I peed on a Frer. It came up BFN so I threw it away and had to run out. Something came over me an hour or so later when I got back to the house, I went outside to the bin and fished it out from the very bottom and there was a second line, fairly obvious. I threw it back in (should have saved it!) and did another Clearblue test - BFN. That's me out of tests now. Tried to look at the Frer again to see if the second line looked more grey or pink but had thrown it right into a coffee cup that still had a bit of coffee in it so ruined now.

As I said, I think AF is on its way anyway and although my boobs have been a bit sore, I haven't felt any real sign this tww, whereas with DC2 I felt clear signs.

So that's me, just had to share my crazy with people who understand!

Oh and stats are TTC #3 cycle 1.

I'm sorry you're having a bad day dangle Flowers if this isn't your month it will be your month soon I'm sure of it x
I'm still slightly optimistic but that's because AF not due until Monday so no AF signs yet. Plus Temps still high and boobs still hurting but that's nothing special.
Hi banania you're in the right place here!! When will you test again after your coffee stained FRER drama Smile

ethelfleda · 01/03/2017 13:28

Because she is a vile ugly witch satsooma I wish she would leave us all alone!!

dangle I always save a few treats, (cake, a movie I am excited for, maybe something I've been wanting to buy) for days that suck - like if AF shows. Helps me to have a little something to look forward too, no matter how things turn out. This whole TTC thing is so emotionally exhausting, make sure you look after yourself.

TheGrumpySquirrel · 01/03/2017 13:32

I got another BFN this morning but no AF yet and still feeling dizzy. CD30 (of a possible 35+..?) I only came off the pill end Dec and got AF 31 January

Firsttimeandclueless · 01/03/2017 13:44

Welcome Banania!

Sorry to hear Satsooma and Dangle, it can be so tough emotionally!
I can't believe I once thought it would be so easy.

Not expecting AF for another week so no spotting yet, but starting to feel very discouraged this month.

But, it is not over until AF shows Smile Smile

dangle90 · 01/03/2017 13:55

Thanks so much ladies, you all really help FlowersHalo As much as I love DP and he knows how much I want this, I don't think they truly understand how much goes through our head during these weeks waiting, and if they did they would think we were bonkers 😂, which we are of course Wink! Have a wedding/holiday to Croatia booked in may, think I need to start concentrate on loosing weight for that to take my mind off this ttc business!

dangle90 · 01/03/2017 13:56

Hi banania waves!

dangle, losing weight is something i try and work on as a bit of a distraction too. As I am overweight, supposedly every little bit lost makes it easier to get pregnant, so it makes me feel like I am doing something towards my goals.

dangle90 · 01/03/2017 14:37

Yeah I think I will do the same, I did slimming world last summer, lost nearly a stone, felt good, stopped dieting, then put almost 2 stone back on 😂 nightmare!

Andysgirl15 · 01/03/2017 15:38

So I'm really confused ladies. As you all probably read I had bfn this morning on 2 different brands, well on the way back from taking lil ones swimming I picked up a PT from the £1 shop and did it when I got back after a 4 hour hold. Anyway I see a really faint line and immediately thought evap after having bfn this morning. So I did the old " drop a bit of water on the line and if it disappears it's an evap" well it's still there.

I'm gonna attach a pic, please tell me u see what I see

TWW - anyone else testing in early March?
Andysgirl15 · 01/03/2017 15:39

Aaarrrggghh I can't see it but I swear it's there irl

ethelfleda · 01/03/2017 15:44

I can't see it I'm sorry andys have you got abother one for in the morning?

satsoooma · 01/03/2017 15:47

Afraid I can't see any line Andysgirl, but I had a chemical pregnancy a few months back, where I could see it in real life, but not in a photo.

If the line is grey, it is likely an evap, if it is pinkish, it could be a positive result.

dangle90 · 01/03/2017 15:48

Sorry Andy I can't see it :( x

Firsttimeandclueless · 01/03/2017 16:40

Sorry Andy I don't see it this time.

I'd say do another one tomorrow, just to be sure

theotherendofthesockportal · 01/03/2017 17:06

Hello ladies, can j join?

I had a mmc in January. My period started on 14th February (how romantic). I then became a crazy lady obsessed with opks but never saw a positive.

I'm hoping somehow that I did the tests wrong and I can test around 11th March

Good luck to everyone else

boatrace30 · 01/03/2017 17:27

So how is this for mental... just went to Superdrug to buy two of their early detection tests as they seemed to have the best stats for early results on the "countdown to pregnancy" site. Despite having loads of ICs, some boots tests and a clear blue digital (for special occasions only!)
Can't remember who posted that site but you are responsible for much of my lost time!! Wink (& £8.50!)
