Anyone just starting the tww?

[Bas27]

Hi all!
Either 1dpo or on ovulation day here! Been trying smep this month but hoping for a few lovely ladies to go through the tww with!
Age: 26
Ttc: #1
Cycle #2

Can I join please!?
I am 4dpo...I think.
Cycle 2
Ttc #1

I think I am going to test on 22nd so a bit of waiting to go unfortunately.
Not holding out too much hope as just found out 95% of DH swimmers are an abnormal shape. 😕
Good luck to everyone testing this weekend.

@Charlotte1x
Well done for resisting, I'm about 11dpo too - used 2 out of 4 FRER and both BFN but like you say not out until AF! So got 2 left but... if I use those tomorrow and Sunday I would very likely just buy more from Amazon. I feel like it's a BFN for me this month too anyway.

Hi @Flapjackered

Welcome to the wait! 5% of millions is still quite a lot (not a medical opinion, just bending stats).

Testing tomorrow not holding out much hope, but don't think AF is coming on 'time' but I did O late so.... Arrrgh. I've just decided that I'm going to get some frer. If the internet cheapies come up BFP I'll want to confirm or might just use frer straight off.

Thank you everyone.
It looks like a few people are having some good signs 🤞🏻
@Charlotte1x you’re amazing! I honestly don’t know how you restrain but it’s definitely better if you can - I got so many negatives - and now I’ve got a positive, it’s just constant chemical pregnancy worries.
I can’t wait to see some other BFPs come up! X

@Mumplanner big fat congrats!

@FlapJackered my partner has low sperm count. His first daughter was through ivf and second a miracle! We're on cycle 6, when we first started I thought I would get pregnant quickly but now I'm just going to wait and see what happens

@Mumplanner thank you, but it still hasn’t stopped me obsessing constantly :( x

In fact I think I’m gonna be out soon, getting a lot of pressure and AF ‘sensations’ now as well as the twinges so it looks like the witch is well on her way.

Anyone to think it’s possible to get the period pains and pressure etc but still get a BFP? X

@Charlotte1x - I obviously can’t know exactly what you’re feeling - but it sounds like you feel exactly like I have. I said I thought I was getting AF because I had those kind of cramps - but it’s been accompanied by other different feelings - like aches and pains in all areas between my boobs and my hips - front and back. I hope that helps x

Thanks @Mumplanner yes it does help, at least I know I’m still in with a chance. My pains are very low down, even in my bum cheeks! X

@flapjackered I liked @trevorj's stat bending. Fingers crossed for you!
I'm testing tomorrow. Really nervous. Trying to convince myself it will be negative and not get my hopes up but in reality they're up and down al over the place. Just like my mood!
Stopped drinking to concentrate fmu... and my mind is going berserk.
I will update you all with a picture tomorrow.
Hoping for a squinter at least.

@themagictorch fingers crossed that it's just too early. What brand did you use?
I feel like I'm out too... but at the same time I feel like I'm in... it's like layers on layers of opposing thoughts but I don't know which one is the deepest down feeling.

@Bas27 best of luck to you in the morning! My fingers are tightly crossed for a BFP for you x

@bas27 I second that entire second message! Tested today (only 8dpo haha...) and BFN. Like so negative. Haha. Going to wait until Monday. Can’t decide if I think I’m pregnant or building up to period. Trying my absolute best to forget about it until AF but it’s hard!! X

It's so weird isnt it @bas27 one minute I think I'm in and the next out. I used FRER. And using FRER again in the morning. I should be 12dpo tomorrow so I know I'm not out until AF but to be honest if it's a BFN tomorrow I'll count myself out. Fingers crossed for you tomorrow lovely 🤞🤞

Thanks for the moral support guys! ❤️
Fingers crossed for you too magic 🤞
I think 12 dpo is about early to count yourself out... but I think regardless of rational thinking I would feel the same way.

So I did TWO frers this morning. Absolutely couldn't believe my eyes!
Pics were taken within the time and the line had s much more pink in real life... BFP!

Wow a definite line, didn’t even have to open the pic! Congrats to you @Bas27 !
💐💐💐💐 x

I’m 12 DPO this morning and still don’t dare test :( I want to but then don’t want to, because it’s it’s a BFP I’m going to be so disappointed. Got symptoms of AF arriving, apart from very tender nipples and a soreness in my lower back which I needed paracetamol for again last night. X

@Bas27 congrats! that's a very clear line! 🎉 I tested last night at 10dpo and BFN, I don't feel anything other than I had the pinching sensation on 7DPO so counting myself out this cycle I think.

@Baz27 Congratulations that's a BFP for sure. I just got a bfn with the internet ones. May go and buy some FRERs today.

@Bas27 Congratulations!!! 🎉🥂
Amazing news! That is an unmistakable line!
Have you had any symptoms at all?
Thanks, I suppose all I need is one sperm preferably without multiple heads or tails!

@TrevorJ - thank you, that is a good way to look at it! Good luck testing today!

@donna474 that's amazing that your partner had a miracle baby and a good sign that it can happen naturally. Fx'd for you!
It's difficult not to let these things worry us isn't it.

Wow @Bas27 congratulations! Definite positive - looks just like mine did 😊.
@Charlotte1x - the suspense is killing me - you’re a far stronger woman than I am!
@TrevorJ - I got BFNs on a variety of different ones and then a BFP on an FRER first x

@Bas27 congratulations again! That's a fab line!

Not even a squinter for me this morning 😕 stark white at 12dpo. Can't help but be disappointed.

Sorry to hear that @TheMagicTorch - make sure you treat yourself this weekend x

Hugs to you @TheMagicTorch xx

@FlapJackered he's on a health kick now so hopefully in three months time his sperm will be better swimmers too! Fingers crossed for us both!
