Hi ladies,

I have been TTC for four months now. I actually didn't realise how stressful this whole experience is. I shouldn't have expected for it to happen straight away but i'm so impatient.

Anyway, would love to see who else is out there to join me on my TWW. I used CB ovulation tests this month and dtd the day before ovulation. I had an HSG last month and my tubes are all clear so that's good to know.

I am only about 2dpo. Obviously no symptoms the only thing worth mentioning is I have been getting these weird gurgling/popping noises in my stomach. It's SO strange I've never had this before. Maybe it's because I'm drinking lots of pineapple juice which I never normally do, who knows! What are you all doing to keep yourself occupied and not obsessing over this tww?!

I've booked my first acupuncture session this Friday so hopefully that will help de-stress me! Good luck to you all, would love to hear your stories x

@reginaphalange 13 to 15dpo not sure exactly when i ovulated ! Last 2 cycles have been 25 days and this is day 28 now so I'm assuming I'm already late !

HouseplantInvasion · 26/10/2018 07:14

@Barker26 anything to report this morning?

I have another definite bfn, boobs still feel like they are heavy/tingling/almost burning, but I’m feeling like it’s probably not going to happen this month as there’s nothing at all at 10dpo. I’ll try a FRER tomorrow morning though, just been using amazon cheapies so far.

Anyone else tested?!

Barker26 · 26/10/2018 07:51

Hi girls... So I tested and got this!!

HouseplantInvasion · 26/10/2018 09:08

Argh I stupidly wasted a FRER just now, and got a stupid grey indent line. Def not at all pink though. I just can’t help POAS 😂

HouseplantInvasion · 26/10/2018 09:08

Eek congratulations @Barker26! I’m really happy for you XX

Barker26 · 26/10/2018 09:13

@houseplantinvasion thank you so much ! I'm still in shock !! I'm sending you luc through mn!! How many dpo are you now ?

HouseplantInvasion · 26/10/2018 09:19

10dpo - I know it’s still early, I just feel like I’ve had so many symptoms that if I was going to test positive I should have done so by now!

How are you feeling?! Are you going to tell nyone or wait for 12 weeks?

Barker26 · 26/10/2018 09:22

@houseplantinvasion if my flo app is correct I was 15dpo yesterday with faint lines and 16dpo on the digi so there is definitely hope ! I technically could have implanted later but even then i dont think I would have been more than 13dpo yesterday and 14dpo today! I was starting to lose hope! And I've had barely any symptoms really! When is af due for you? I've got everything crossed for you ! I've told my sister but that's it, i will be 12 weeks just before Xmas day so thinking may tell the rest of family on the day :)

ReginaPhalange89 · 26/10/2018 09:22

Ah isn't it so good when you actually see the word pregnant lol congratulations ! Can't wait til it's my turn 😊

sav89 · 26/10/2018 09:35

Hi everyone, so i've given up for this month. Boobs stopped hurting and AF due soon. I just know I am not pregnant, no doubt in my mind and can't take seeing anymore BFN's so no point testing anymore.

Going to focus on new cycle and will come back during my tww again. Good luck to all those waiting for BFP and congrats to those that got theirs.

HouseplantInvasion · 26/10/2018 10:59

I will try to keep thinking positive thoughts @Barker26. A Christmas announcement would be lovely 😊

@sav89 I really hope you get your bfp soon, good luck next cycle xx

PinkLady89x · 26/10/2018 11:42

Fantastic news @Barker26 congratulations.
I took a test again this morning and it's still VERY faint with a second line so I'm assuming I either need to wait longer as I'm only 10 or 11 dpo or that this month is not the month for me. I am however 3 days late now but that could just be messed up cycle from the mmc.
Good luck to everyone else hoping for bfp in the next few days!

Barker26 · 26/10/2018 12:34

@pinklady89x please let us know how you get on! A faint line sounds promising

closedcircuit · 26/10/2018 13:04

@Barker26 congratulations!!!

Theres a line irl but i think its just another EVAP.
have had lots of twinges in lower part of my stomach but maybe thats just me not eating very well the last few days.

MrsLBear · 26/10/2018 13:29

@Barker26 congratulations!
I'm new to this!
I'm in the same boat.
Did a FRER today (not first wee as I couldn't wait until tomorrow morning) and it was a BFN.
I'm around 14DPO I think and AF was due Wednesday or Thursday.
Been TTC since June!
So tempted to do another but I know it will be the same result. I've ordered some ovulation sticks ready for next month.
Didn't think I would get this impatient so quickly.

closedcircuit · 26/10/2018 14:03

@MrsLBear ah that sucks. Im sorry. If AF doesnt show up in a few days definitely do another test. Otherwise i really hope next month is the one for you.
I've been trying since June too cycle #6 currently. Im 9DPO yet so will test on sunday and wednesday now

MrsLBear · 26/10/2018 15:52

@closedcircuit fingers crossed for you!
Playing the waiting game is the worst. I get to a point where I just want AF to come so we can start again.

HouseplantInvasion · 27/10/2018 10:01

Morning all! It’s another BFN this morning for me at 11dpo, so not feeling at all confident anymore. Still have all the same symptoms but the closer I get to af due date (tues) the more likely it seems that it’s just crazy pms for the whole 2 weeks!

I did 2 tests, and did think there was a faint line starting to show on both of them in the first 5 mins, but by the time 10 mins was up the lines were gone 🙁.

How’s everyone else?

GreyC · 27/10/2018 13:47

I’m due on tomorrow/Monday. Pretty sure I have very mild cramps (I’m ignoring them basically!) I don’t generally test unless I’m late as I can’t bare to see one.
Finding it really hard at the minute. A lot of my friends have announced their are pregnant (which is amazing @ fantastic) but I’m not and it makes me sad.
Trying to be positive on to the next cycle!!

mrsof20118 · 27/10/2018 15:21

Good luck to all those testing and I guess hello to those joining the new two week window. Cd3 for me now x

PinkLady89x · 28/10/2018 10:18

Hey ladies,
I haven't posted for a couple of days because there's nothing to report! So annoying! My AF is now late by about 5 days (which has NEVER happened in my life) but still nothing showing on a preg test. I know I ovulated late this cycle and I'm assuming it's because of my mmc 2 months ago. So that may push AF back a week or so! But it's just so annoying with no sign of AF and still a very pathetic faint line on a first response! I'm now about 12 or 13 dpo. Anyone been this far and still got a neg that went on to a pos? I think I've given up in my head now xx

Barker26 · 28/10/2018 10:21

@closedcircuit @houseplantinvasion how you girls getting on? @pinklady86 if you ovulated late your AF will show later, if you're 5 days late but you ovulated late your normal time of AF due wouldn't give the egg enough time to implant IYSWIM? I think its called luteal phase? No news is good news though as they say!

closedcircuit · 28/10/2018 10:38

@MrsLBear i understand exactly what you mean.

@Houseplantinvasion im really sorry to hear about the BFNs. Its really disappointing in the end.

@GreyC same here, a lot of my friends announced pregnancies this whole year whilst i was waiting to TTC and actively started. I love that they're pregnant and i love asking questions and knowing how they're getting on but its still sad.

@mrs20118 ahh the start of a cycle the exciting bit of starting fresh! (Until the novelty has worn off)

@PinkLady89x oooo thats interesting!! sav89 posted a picture pg7 take a look at it. Its the only thing giving me hope right now!

@Barker26 hello lovely! I keep thinking im seeing lines but dont think anythings there its just white lines. Waiting for my FRERs to arrive tomorrow morning and will test again

closedcircuit · 28/10/2018 10:43

Page 6* sorry!

HouseplantInvasion · 28/10/2018 11:00

Hi all, I’m 12dpo I think today, but I have run out of tests! Waiting for my amazon cheapies to be delivered and trying to not pee until then but no idea how long it will be 😂.

I had some proper annoying tests yesterday that had a strong line pop up in the first few minutes, and it was still there at 10 mins, but when I went to look at it later the line had almost completely disappeared, and now is only the squintiest squinter (like hardly visible at all unless you shine a light on it!). I’m still getting cramps and some light spotting (mostly brown but some pinky red) since 8dpo. Def feelingmore like it’s just going to end in AF but guess it’s not over yet!

Seems like a few of us have had super faint lines that haven’t really darkened yet, I really hope some of them at least turn to bfps....getting a bit fed up of seeing bfn’s now!
