TWW - 7DPO

[stokieginge]

Anyone else half way through their TWW?

Do people usually hold out to POAS or do people cave.

I'm not sure if we've even done enough to catch this cycle

@stokieginge I've read that cramps are relatively common during the 2ww and especially during implantation which can occur anywhere between 6-12dpo so I think it's a hopeful symptom!

I had cramps last time I implanted and was pregnant! That was at 11dpo but it was way too late :( as it turned out to be a chemical

@Needadoughnut sorry to hear that 😞 I never knew chemical pregnancies were a thing until I head about them on her.

I'm going to try and hold out until AF is officially late (if she is late) before I POAS

@Stokeginge I wish I had your will power to resist POAS. If it wasn't for ic's I'd be bankrupt

@Sleepingstarsmommy would IC's be internet cheapies? I'm still trying to crack all the lingo.

I've got some cheap Asda ones and I have a FR - from other times. All of which have been after I've had AF but I'm still adamant I'm pregnant because I've felt 'weird'

@Stokeginge yes internet cheapies. I have a first response as well. But considering I test from around 7dpo at least once a day this hobby (or more accurately this obsession) could not be funded on my salary without them.

Just gone and done exactly what I said I wouldn't do and POAS!! An internet cheapie when I'm either 9 or 13 dpo. Completely white as snow. Feel like crap now, like I'm out for the month.

@showmethegin you're not out until AF shows up, especially as you're uncertain exactly what dpo you're at

@showmethegin your not out yet.

I've just tested for the 2nd time today at 10dpo and not even with fmu. Nothing to see but keep staring at it willing it to change

Have attached a pic so you lovely sane ladies can give me a virtual slap, tell me to put the strip down and stop squinting at it

Normall have a 26 day cycle which means cd1 should be tomorrow but did go 28 days last month so could be Saturday. Really hope I get my bfp tomorrow or Af arrives as this constant symptom spotting is sending me crazy. If it's not my month I just want to get onto my next cycle and try again.

@sleeping that's deft s negative and I do t want to be a downer (although I do think we need reality checks every now and then) if AF is due tomorrow, I would definitely day yourret out

Cross posting from the December bus theead, so apologies if you're on both:

I very naughtily busted out a FRER! I am supposed to take it any day from tomorrow (when I'll be 10 days PO) but I used ahem ...logic... to decide it was ok to do it tonight after a four hour urine hold 🤣🙈

My DH and I are pretty convinced we can both see the slightest lightest pink line. So slight the camera doesn't pick it up.

We're both pretty clued up on chemical pregnancies and evaps etc so not allowing ourselves to get too excited, but If everyone could just cross everything for me, I'd appreciate it very much 😁😁😁😁 thanks!!!!

Of course, I'll be returning the favour x

I think I'll retest in the morning!

We need a pic wildflower!!! (And as far as I know your logic is flawless ;) )

@wildflower have everything crossed for you.

@WildFlower2018 keeping everything crossed for you too!! Update tomorrow please

Thanks for the lovely messages everyone. Here's the pic. I took it out of the plastic to try and get a clearer picture with lighting etc.

I am 50/50 on whether you can see in the photo but I'm 90% sure you can in real life. The other 10% is the possibility of it being of an annoying evap.

I'll do another first thing in the morning with FMU. And post here of course ☺️

Would help if i actually attach the picture 🙈

Thanks for the kind words everyone.

Keeping fingers very much crossed for you wildflowers, and everyone else.

I can something there @WildFlower2018 for sure, whether it's an indent, Evap or BFP I'm not so sure, definitely need a morning retest to give us something to compare with fx for you!

Update: this mornings test is the same if not fainter and more squintier than last night. I'm calling evap lines. I expected it to be darker with my FMU.

Oh well... We'll see what tomorrow's looks like x

So AF due today on my usual 26 day cycle. However basal temp has not dropped. Haven't had 2 or 3 nights insomnia like normal.

But still BFN.. Even on FRER.. Really think I am out this month..

@Sleepingstarsmommy did you confirm ovulation this cycle though?

I'm 10DPO. AF due Saturday. If we're to POAS today would it need to be a FRER or could I chance a IC

@Stokeginge online with my POAS addiction I used ic opk's and clear blue advanced ovulation sticks. They were in sink with each other with peak being on cd15. Had symptoms such a left side ovary pain etc and temp went up on cd17. We BD on CD 10, 13, 14, 15 and 16.

Going onto cycle 18 now when AF arrives and just getting so disheartened.

@Sleepingstarsmommy hope you find out one way or the other asap

I used a frer last night and definitely BFN and repeated the same test as yesterday this morning and it looked identical so the line I saw was definitely an indent. I did however miscount yesterday and I'm 10dpo today not yesterday. Feeling a little deflated after yesterday's excitement. The not knowing is a bitch isn't it!!

@WildFlower2018 fx tomorrow is your day
