Starting the two week wait again. Anyone else? Pleeeaaase be the month 🤞

[Momma22]

So I'm starting another two week wait, a bit sooner than anticipated. It seems I either ovulated CD 10 or 11 this cycle, which is very early for me.

Not sure if I'm 1 or 2dpo? Got a positive ovulation strip on Wednesday, by Thursday it was negative, but had lots of EWCM and CP was high soft and open. Would I get a negative OPK on the day or within hours of ovulation? Any advice would be much appreciated .

Good luck ladies 🤞 Hopefully we get our BFPs this time! Xxx

I can see a line, I think you're going to have to try a different type of test to make yourself believe it a bit more though!

@seastargirl I can see a line too, but OH is making me doubt myself because he can't? Think he thinks I've lost the plot 😂

Will try a FRER if AF doesn't arrive in a few days. My longest cycle since I started TTC was 34 days, I'm now CD31 so if by the end of the week I get a BFN on a FRER I'll know I'm out for definite and AF is just around the corner.

Boobs have started to feel a little tender now, don't know if that's a good sign or not? Because they usually are, both when I'm pregnant and around a week before AF. Still have a fair bit of CM. It's been creamy in the last few days, but this morning it's more like EWCM but white in colour? Also I've came out in spots all over my chin, and they are monsters! No amount of concealer is covering them. Again I usually get spots right before AF so?
Cervix is high closed and of medium firmness, so I guess that's a good sign?

We'll just have to wait and see. I'm a great believer in the idea that you're not out until AF appears, so I'm keeping my fingers crossed!

@momma22 I can definitely see a line on the first two photos you shared. I agree about the later ones but the colour fades so definitely worthwhile getting a FRER - fingers crossed it's stronger then!

@ContadoraExplorer definitely will try a FRER soon, might leave it a few days though.

I've been analysing these pics all morning! I'm about 70% sure it's probably just an evap line or the dye has ran, or a combination of both.

Hate this not knowing! I'm more confused than I was a week ago now. I just need some solid answers!

@Momma22 I can see a line in both! I hope you can get hold of some FRERs soon so you know for sure! Your symptom list is almost exactly the same as mine (even down to the cervix) so it's making me hopeful (again)... weirdest thing is they keep coming and going, like yesterday my boobs were really sore and I had these massive spots pop up but now the soreness has eased and the spots are already nearly gone!

Sorry to hear that @feerouge. At least you know now.

@Triskaidekaphilia thanks for reassuring me that I'm not seeing things! I can definitely see the faintest of lines.

That's strange that your symptoms keep coming and going? If thats unusual for you it's got to be a good sign? Like I said in my previous post as long as AF hasn't arrived you're always in with a chance!

My boobs have really only started feeling sore today, and they are huge! They have got progressively more sore as the day's gone on, and I've been having weird tingles in my nipples (sorry if tmi) and my boobs just feel kinda like they're burning? Reminds me of how they felt from time to time when I was breastfeeding DD? So strange
It's so funny how the way my boobs feel give me the biggest insight into what's actually going on with my body 😂 Of course all of this could mean anything? AF could be due, and what I had on the test could still have been an evap? Trying to stay realistic!

@Momma22 yeah I definitely see it. I've used those tests before and there hasn't been any hint of a line so it's not a quirk of the tests.

It is very unusual, I've had my AF symptoms come any time from two weeks to one day before AF, and I don't always get the same symptoms every month, but they usually stick around til the day AF starts, then they disappear slowly or immediately. I woke up sick with hunger today and haven't been able to feel full for more than about 10 minutes which usually only happens on the first day. I just jumped up and down and though my boobs feel extra bouncy (weight loss or extra water I think) they aren't sore at all, whereas yesterday it hurt to go down the stairs without a bra. I've had the tingly nipples too about a week ago. Maybe my hormones are just completely fucked this cycle I have so many good symptoms but still bfn, and they could be AF symptoms anyway or linked to the uti/antibiotics I'm now on. I'm going to just have to wait. If AF hasn't come before I leave next Friday I'll use my last test. It'll be CD44 by then, not unheard of for me, my longest was 49 days but that was a whole year ago and I haven't had one over 40 since the start of this year when I started losing weight. Glow reckons AF is due tomorrow, but it's almost always wrong!

My cats keep curling up next to my tummy when I'm sleeping. Maybe they're very sensitive pregnancy tests, or they can sense the uti and are trying to heal me with purrs because apparently that helps. Either way they're being so sweet.

@Momma22 oooh keeping an eager eye xx

@Triskaidekaphilia I've also been feeling really hungry lately, all I can think about all day is food! Although this is usually a sign AF's on its way for me so? but usually I crave sweet things when I'm due one, now I'm just massively craving cheese, crisps and dips, and salty things. My boobs were unbelievably sore this morning, wouldn't say tender, just painful! They just felt really engorged, like a milder feeling to when my milk came in day 3 after having DD. Seems to be easing as the day goes on though, so the pain's coming and going like how it is for you.

I've always found Glow to be the least accurate of the 3 apps I use, I would highly recommend downloading Ovia in future cycles if your not pregnant this time around. It's great!

That's so cute that your cats are curling up close to your tummy, maybe they can sense some kind of presence in there, I know when I was pregnant with DD my cat was very attatched to me, although usually OH is her favourite, she just would not leave me alone whilst I was pregnant, so who knows maybe cats have a sense that we don't?

@owlpatrol thanks! I'll keep you all posted, having some good symptoms, just need a solid clear cut BFP! Keeping my fingers crossed xxx

@Momma22 my sense of smell/taste has gone a bit insane now. I could smell crisps through thier packets and the box was nearly a metre from my face and my favourite sandwich and a jam ring didn't taste very nice. My boobs are a bit sore again but not too painful.

I am definitely getting Ovia, I can't really blame Glow though for the bad predictions as my cycles have been so different every month.

I think the cats know something, they just can't tell me what! A few months ago my period had just started and I sat down on the sofa feeling a bit shit, and 5 seconds later my tabby cat, who is usually the less cuddly of the two, came and jumped right on my belly and snuggled me.

When are you testing again?

@Triskaidekaphilia I'm testing on Saturday maybe? I'll be CD 34 then, and my longest cycle to date since I started TTC was 34 days, so I think I'm likely to get my clearest cut answer by then, that's of course if I don't get AF by then, im starting to get a bit anxious that AF is going to start as my CM has dried up again today, just praying it doesn't! I might not even be able to get hold a FRER by then as my local chemist has none in stock & I refuse to go all the way to town just for one pregnancy test, might order off of amazon, they're doing cheapy 10mlu tests so I could give them a go? But for the price don't know whether 10mlu is too good to be true? I stopped taking opks this cycle around CD18 I think? Just because I'd ran out, and the last one i did was fairly dark and close to positive so if I get AF or a BFP on cd34 it's highly plausible I ovulated around CD20 and would have got a positive opk again if I'd have carried on testing after I took my last opk CD18, I think it's also fairly likely as the month I used CB OPK's I ovulated around CD20, so I think that would be pretty standard for me.

When are you planning on testing? Got everything crossed for you 🤞

Good luck everyone.i got faint BFP today - negative when i tested last night. AF due saturday so will test again then.

I just have usual feeling like AF is due so its hard to sympton spot at this stage i think. I was certain last month i was pregnant with symptons but i wasnt x

@Momma22 Amazon does FRERs, but you may not need it to be a frer in a few days time anyway, especially since you already had a faint positive! I've used the 10mlu cheapies before, seeing as they've all been correctly negative I can't really vouch for them, but I would probably give them a go!

I don't know when to test. I want to all the time but I also know it'll be a waste. I'll just wait as long as I can but next Thurs/Fri at the latest before I go on holiday! Though I'm thinking of getting ICs too!

Sounds good @rosegold33!

Well I couldn't quite wait until tommorow morning...

not the darkest of lines, but clearly positive! OH is finally convinced anyway, over the moon!

@Momma22 CONGRATULATIONS!! amazing news!!!! So lovely to have a good bfp on this thread. You must be so happy. How many dpo are you out of interest?

I am testing tomorrow morning, but don't really feel pregnant so think it is likely to be a bfn.

Congrats @Momma22 so happy for you ! I knew from your other test that you'd get a BFP soon!

Good luck for tomorrow @FlapJackered, you never know 🤞

Amazing news @momma22 congratulations!

Fingers crossed for more on this thread asap!

Thanks everyone! We're so so happy! Although a little nervous because of the MC in April.

@Flapjackered I actually don't know how many dpo I am? I got a positive opk 23 days ago but only now am I getting a clear bfp, so I doubt I actually ovulated that early, my guess is I'm about 13dpo, these are 25mlu cheapy tests, so the line im getting ties in with that I reckon.

Fingers crossed for the rest of you lovely ladies still in the 2ww! Hopefully this is the start of a stream of BFPs! Xxxx

Congratulations @Momma22 !!!

Really sorry @feerouge . Let's hope it's a successful September bus for both of us. Fingers still crossed for you @FlapJackered

It's a bfn for me, not even a whisper of a line. I had such a vivid pregnancy dream last night too. Oh well I suppose it's just waiting for AF to show up tomorrow. 🙁

We're going to have a break TTC and try again around Christmas ladies as I've got a concert in December! Best of luck ladies xxx

Congratulations @momma22!

@FlapJackered sorry it was a BFN for you this morning just out of interest what CD are you? Could there not still be a chance if AF doesn't show up tommorow?

Just want to say thankyou to all of the lovely ladies on this thread for all of the support this cycle! You've all been really lovely and I sincerely hope you all get your BFP soon! xxx
