Anybody starting their tww?
Mine starts today, my app says test on the 25th so I'm challenging myself not to test early this time!

Come join me for 14 days of symptom spotting and a healthy dose of moaning about mean AF.

The cheap £2.50 coop tests are quite good. Pink dye which is always good and they are early testers too. Might grab a pack, if I even get a squint of a line ill be doing the frer tomorrow!

We only managed to DTD twice in fertile week this time as well so not feeling too hopeful... but year 9 sex education said once is all it takes so fingers crossed 😂

Ok, might get a cheap test. Would be amazed if I am as my rational brain has told me I’m out this month. However, I will also be sad if I’m not (I realise that makes no sense)
Symptoms wise - just sobbed through the second and third episodes of the BBC Les Mis so feel something hormonal is going on..

HeartvsHead · 18/01/2019 14:56

This is all getting very exciting!

I feel like I'm a lifetime behind you guys. In reality it's about 3/4 days behind but still. In the TWW every day is an eternity!

Scottish1 · 18/01/2019 14:57

Going to wait a bit longer as even though the app says 24th it could be later as my periods are not consistent every month. Looking frwd to hearing about your results though! 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻

I am still driving my self mad with impatience. 12dpo and still getting BFN. I did a supermarket test yesterday and then a Clearblue Rapid this morning.
I've just picked up a FRER to do tomorrow morning. I've been having low abdominal twinges for a few of days which I thought was my period coming but that normally comes a few hours after the pains start and so far, nothing. I've got a busy weekend so I'm guessing AF will pop up tomorrow just to be annoying!

Scottish1 · 18/01/2019 15:33

Fingers crossed for you! 🤞🏻

Doris19 · 18/01/2019 16:43

@Mooey89 that sounds like a plan!

Welcome @Figuringitout 😊

I've got a clear blue early results test by accident, meant to get the digital one - do you think boots would exchange it??
Still in the wrapping but doubt I kept the receipt. May pop in tomorrow just in case.

Sounds like we are all struggling with the TWW, when to test etc. I am trying not to discuss it too much with DH, I'm so glad to have all you ladies, and so many of us with similar dates! I'm 8DPO today so over half way at least 🙀 😘

Lauraliverpool · 18/01/2019 17:08

I've just done a home and bargain 99p pink dye test and think it's a bfn, line came up in control line and if you shine it under the light can make out what looks like a faint line in the test window but thinking it could be where the pink dye would go if it's positive. Getting more backache today which seems to start before AF shows, but I'm hoping it might be implantation. I've decided that if I am out this month I'm going to go for the 21 day blood test,had the form a while now, just not sure what day would be best to go, do any of you girls have an idea? X

Lauraliverpool · 18/01/2019 17:14

Here's the test.

TWW starts now, join me!
Lauraliverpool · 18/01/2019 17:15

Don't know if it worked.

TWW starts now, join me!
Scottish1 · 18/01/2019 17:17

@Doris19 Clear blue digitals are not sensitive at all. You probably wouldn’t get a BFP at 8DPO. You might be better with the early one anyway....Are you testing tomorrow?

ShortandSweet96 · 18/01/2019 17:17

Without until she arrives @lauraliverpool. Wait a few days then test again! Grin

Scottish1 · 18/01/2019 17:19

@Lauraliverpool Looks negative, I’m afraid 😢 Wait a while longer and retest if no AF x

Scottish1 · 18/01/2019 17:20

I’m trying to wait as almost lost the plot last month testing-cost a fortune too! 😂

Lauraliverpool · 18/01/2019 17:25

@Scottish1 and @ShortandSweet96 thanks for looking I thought it was. I spent loads of money last month 😯so thought won't break the bank getting a 99p one. X

Scottish1 · 18/01/2019 17:36

@shortandsweet Are you testing tomorrow? I’m 8DPO tomorrow too so curious to see your result! Fingers crossed 🤞🏻

Doris19 · 18/01/2019 17:55

@Scottish1 thanks, yes I read that....the thing is I have a 2 pack of FRER to do tomorrow and then if necessary maybe Sunday/Monday?! so then was going to use a cab Digital after AF due date to confirm on fri/sat... having the cb early ones (which aren't that good as you say) as well as FRER didn't seem much point, as I could get some extra cheapies if I end up testing all the days between???

Tomorrow I'll be 9DPO and 5 days before missed period so I'm the FRER window I was thinking...

Doris19 · 18/01/2019 17:57

@Lauraliverpool yeah it does look like a bfn ☹️ remind me, how many days dpo etc are you?? X

Scottish1 · 18/01/2019 17:59

@Doris19 You sound like you have it all thought out 😂 🤞🏻

Doris19 · 18/01/2019 18:10

Ha, clearly been too preoccupied at work!!! But do you think boots will exchange??? As I really don't think I need FRERs and cb early tests!!

Scottish1 · 18/01/2019 18:12

@Doris19 Doubt it if you haven’t got receipt but you never know! Could you show transaction from account as proof?

Doris19 · 18/01/2019 18:14

@Scottish1 good idea, thanks. I'll have a rifle through incase I didn't chuck the receipt quite yet too...

Lauraliverpool · 18/01/2019 18:18

@Doris19 I thought so ☹️ I had my peak last wed, I'm rubbish at working out how many dpo I am. X

Doris19 · 18/01/2019 18:26

@Lauraliverpool ooh I had mine last thurs so we are about the same timing! Still early to be testing esp with a cheapie. I managed to resist today but going for it in the morning with FMU!
