Two Week Wait .... another one ....

[SqidgeBum]

Hi everyone! I am facing down my TWW (AF due 22nd of March) and thought, after looking at other threads of the same topics who are on the BFP/BFN now, I thought I would start another for those with their fingers crossed for late March BFPs.

I am on cycle 8 TTC #1, have used Preseed for the first time, I am taking Evening Primose Oil and I have the DH on Vit C. I am feeling really positive having DTD the day before and of ovulation, but can feel the paranoia and counting down days setting in. I feel all in the same boat can lean on each other as we try not to POAS :-/

Anyone in?

@Stephisaur oh no sorry af turned up

@Member642266 congrats that looks like a great line xx

Congrats on the BFPs this cycle :)

Was convinced AF was turning up bang on time yesterday... still nothing yet. Test shows BFN. Sigh.

Squee congrats @Member642266 😄

We're all getting close to our AF dates, sending you all baby dust and BFPs 🙏

Sorry guys completely off topic but just need to vent!!

So my Son is 5 months old, nearly six, we were planning on trying for number 2 in August as wanted to have all our kids pretty close together. So I had a miscarriage last month, it was a surprise pregnancy that we were actually really happy about, but unfortunately was a chemical at 5/6 weeks.

So we’ve decided to start trying, Im guessing this month has been unsuccessful.

Anyway so my friend is 15 weeks pregnant, she’s knows about my miscarriage and 2 days ago I was telling her I was feeling pretty down about it. So tonight she is hounding me to come round tomorrow so I can listen to her baby ( I’m a midwife).

I’m just so angry at her she is so self obsessed and really insensitive. I’m not going to say anything to her, there isn’t any point.

I half feel silly for feeling upset because my son is so young, I feel like I’m lucky enough to have had a baby, so I have the right to feel upset, which makes me feel even madder, and I just want to cut her out my life for being such a huge dick!!! Plus she got pregnant by telling mine and DH good friend who she was seeing for 3 months that she was infertile, when she isn’t, and he had explicitly told her he has 3 children alread and catogoricly didn’t want anymore.

Sorry this is so off topic but I just needed someone to vent to, and feel better because you guys don’t know me. Feel free to not reply!

She doesnt sound like a very good friend / also slightly crazy

@TTCnum2 that's awful and super insensitive! I know how you feel as I've had a MC before. It's heartbreaking no matter when it happens. I think you need to avoid contact for a while from your friend. She sounds like she is shoving her pregnancy in your face to try to make you jealous or feel worse about your mc.

These are the last 6 tests I've taken. The top two are from Friday, the next two from Saturday and the bottom two from today. The last one I took was just 30 minutes ago and definitely seems darker now! I haven't told DH yet. I'm thinking of taking a FRER tomorrow if another one of these tests doesn't get darker and try to run to a shop tomorrow and maybe get my DD a shirt that says BIG SISTER.

Hi all 👋🏻

Can in jump on this... Wasn't meant to be TTC#1 for another couple of months due to buying our first home, wanting to move in, see what our financial situation was like etc... But one thing led to another and here I am... 😂👏🏻 I think according to my app I'm 1DPO 🤔🙄

Sending LOTS of babydust to you all 🙌🏻👏🏻👶🏻

Now time to catch up and have a read through the previous comments 😊

@pob13 and@browneyedpeanut Thanks it’s nice to see that others can see my point of view and I’m not just being grumpy! Feel better now I’ve vented!

And they are defo positives Brown eye!! I’ve seen other pots on Instagram with those kinds of tests and the do seem to take ages to get good line progressions so if you do a frer tomorrow it will probably not a bit darker I’d have thought, better get buying that T shirt! Where are they from? Need to stop spending a fortune on tests!

Hi @Sunshineandrainsbows6 welcome to the 2 week crazy wait full of crazy ladies 😂

@TTCnum2 I got these from Amazon but in the states. They're called easy@home. Super cheap! And one box has 25 tests

@BrownEyedPeanut congratulations! Lovely to see that progression too - don't forget it doubles in 48hrs so you wouldn't expect much difference morning to night.

@TTCnum2 your friend sounds like a complete narcissist. I don't know what her background is when it come to pregnancy / family but to blatantly lie and trap a guy like that is wrong! As for her insensitivity with your after your MC that's poor form and sounds like she's just trying to abuse the fact that her friend is a midwife. Hope you're doing ok.

@SunshineAndRainbows6 hello!

Not sure what's going on with me, bfn this morning but have a blood test on Wednesday to check for residual hcg after my MC in January so hopefully that will be right down now. Thought I'd ovulated already but blood test showed HCG at 50 last week so ovulation unlikely which puts me back at the start of TWW (maybe even longer?). So fed up of this wait (hitting week 9 after MC), was told 4-6 weeks to get back to normal. Ugh.

@browneyedpeanut - I can definitely see something on the bottom 3 :)

@TTCNum2 - your friend sounds like a right cow. Even if you hadn't had the MC, asking you to go round and check on her baby because you're a midwife is a bit of a cheek! Not to mention the circumstances around the conception...

@Sunshineandrainbows6 - welcome to the mad house!

I'm sat here all confused. I was so certain I was out after yesterday, but AF (if that's what it was) disappeared as swiftly as she appeared. So that's 4 days of cramps and light spotting (plus a bit of heavier spotting yesterday), 2 days of lightheaded-ness and me just sat here being super confused at 13dpo.

2 days late but BFN this morning. No real sign of anything happening.

@Pob13 Snap! In exactly the same boat here. 2 days late. BFN. No symptoms of ANYTHING. So frustrating.

If AF is coming she needs to get a move on so it can be over with and we can start again.

Thanks everyone always feels good to have a rant!

8 days late now and another bfn 😑

These tests are driving me mad. I took one this morning with fmu and it's lighter than the one from last night. I suppose I need to call my Dr and get checked out anyway. AF due today or tomorrow and no sign of her yet so that leaves me hopeful. Oh, and I shall get a FRER sometime today and hopefully the line will be dark enough to not doubt it. I guess I am happy but somehow in denial that I am preggers. So many months of TTC with failure will do that I guess.

I would get a frer and some CB digits if I were you peanut. The ICs aren't that reliable but you definitely have a line. It could be that your HCG is higher later in the day, I've seen on threads that that can happen too for some people.

Do you feel any different? My symptoms never really kick in till 5-6 weeks but u never know haha.

Yes, that's exactly what I'm thinking is going on too DBoo. The only symptoms I have are a slight tingly sensation in my nipples. I usually don't get too much cramping before AF shows up either so it's hard to tell. But I have no cramping whatsoever at the moment. With DD1 I started to feel some morning sickness around 5-6 weeks as well.

Yeah @browneyedpeanut I agree with @dboo I think once you get a line one an ic that’s all you need as line progressions isn’t that reliable on them, Fodor frer it detects hcg From 12 and clear blue from 25, I’ve seen some good things about Asda and tescos own brand to of you want to save form money 😂.

My symptoms didn’t kick in till 5-6 weeks either then I was puking like a goodern!

I have always gone for asdas own after using ICs then the Digi weeks if asdas own was bfp which they always have been after a bfp on an IC.

I keep getting twinges so go to the loo and nothing! This is so frustrating.

I hear that @pob13 never wanted af to turn up so much!

Ooh mmmyy gooooddd
