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.

Aww @ShortandSweet96 sorry to hear that but hope the pizza is helping...when is AF due?? I too have felt cr@p all day, had a busy stressful day at work and now on the train home eating chocolate.

TTC is such a drama, struggling to face going through it all again next month!

Mooey89 · 23/01/2019 21:00

a receptionist I barely know that I have to call regularly for my job asked me today if I was pregnant yet NO SHEILA IM NOT SO BACK THE FUCK UP

Got married 4 months ago so everyone thinks they have the right to ask?!

Apparently once you get married everyone in the world stops making small talk about the weather and changes it to when are you having babies!

ShortandSweet96 · 23/01/2019 21:08

@doris19 AF due on Saturday! :(

My boss has started asking me if I think I'll have another child. And what sort of age gap I'd like. He's fishing big time, I only started in October.

HeartvsHead · 23/01/2019 21:19

I'm due somewhere between Sat and Weds depending on shortest v longest cycles. Too scared to test as don't want to know it is negative!

@ShortandSweet96 hope you are ok, it is such a rollercoaster! I'm so jealous of your pizza!

Congrats to all the BFPs! More to come in the next few weeks and months hopefully!

SunnyL88 · 23/01/2019 21:26

@lizzie198 I have the same af arrival date as you.

I’ve just done first round of clomid on day 2 of cycle and have on average 33-35 day cycles. This month I’ve been feeling light headed, more double vision like eyes not adjusting quick enough and cramping almost daily with sore bbs and lower back. This is our 8th cycle and also unsure of ovulation due to the clomid. Anyone else had these symptoms?

agteacht · 23/01/2019 22:21

So sorry to hear about AF @Frizzy1986 and everyone in the same boat. Been there, felt the disappointment, it sucks. The only way is to pick yourself up in a few days time but in the meantime eat ice-cream and chill 👍

@Mooey89 I feel your pain.... if it is any consolation I've been married for nearly 5 years so have been asked that question so often that people have started to give up!!!!

I'm on 8 dpo today and my cramps have died down a bit. Kind of starting to get hopeful because the cramps are unusual but still petrified that AF could arrive any day and I've been fooled. Let's see....!!

Peaky1 · 23/01/2019 22:42

@Scottish1 that's defo a line! Looking forward to seeing your test tomorrow!

takingtheplungeagain · 23/01/2019 23:00

@Scottish1 I'm seeing a hint of a line there! Look forward to tomorrow's picture!!

Hope those that are feeling the stress of the tww have a better day, week or month to come

Frizzy1986 · 23/01/2019 23:02

It's all OK, I enjoyed my cake and am now in bed with a hot water bottle to get through the cramps.

closedcircuit · 23/01/2019 23:31

@shortandsweet96 really sorry to hear about the BFN. I've had loads of AF symptoms since Monday and the last test I did on Tuesday was negative so have tried not to waste anymore.

Have to allow yourself time to feel sad and move onwards. Thats what I've been trying to do anyway. Hopefully next month is the month

Scottish1 · 24/01/2019 06:04

Morning ladies, test on top is one I did yesterday 4pm and one underneath it is the one I just did now with fmu. As you can see it’s not even as dark as yesterday’s and less colour! Don’t know what to think. Will just have to wait and test again in a few days x

Scottish1 · 24/01/2019 06:06

Scottish1 · 24/01/2019 06:18

Could they be evaporation lines? Pictures were taken at 4 minutes past time though so I thought evaporation lines only appeared once wee was dry?

Frizzy1986 · 24/01/2019 07:07

@scottish1 I think you're just going to have to wait a few days to give it time for levels to increase. Fx crossed you get an answer soon

Scottish1 · 24/01/2019 07:10

Thanks @Frizzy1986 Back to the waiting game 😏

SunnyL88 · 24/01/2019 07:31

@scottish1 oh no... yes back to waiting. How many days into your cycle are you?

I think I’m out, just done a home bargains first response at cd 27 of 33 and it’s a no. 😫

SunnyL88 · 24/01/2019 07:42

Ps @Scottish1 I still see the line!!

Scottish1 · 24/01/2019 07:44

@SunnyLL8 I am on cd 29 but not sure how long my cycles are... last one was 38 days but think I was late... had a faint line last month but af came cd 38. This is only my
second month tracking and think cycle length varied in the past. Just have to wait and see what
happens... Sorry you didn’t get the result you were hoping for today but may still be early? 🤞🏻

Scottish1 · 24/01/2019 07:47

Yes, lines are there 🤞🏻

HeartvsHead · 24/01/2019 07:49

@scottish1 fmu might not have your highest hcg levels. The theory was always that it built up over night so was more concentrated but they now reckon for some people it's more concentrated later afternoon as more is produced when you are more active. Don't give up hope just yet!

I say this as I'm currently sat in bed deciding whether to use my fmu to test! Anyone else find once they are up and have had a wee they are less likely to test thatt day and get one more day close to af without knowing?

agteacht · 24/01/2019 07:56

@Scottish1 I would be feeling very hopeful, both have a line!

SunnyL88 · 24/01/2019 08:05

Amazing @Scottish1 . I actually think the bottom one is darker!!

My cycles are irregular and range anywhere from 32-37 so could still be early.

We’ve been using preseed bd 3 times a week since af and I’ve been feeling extremely light headed this time and on around cd 14 I had the worst pain in my uterus that lasted until I got to work so around 25 mins. Then never again. I was feeling so hopeful this time - I will keep an eye out for anything else. Tentative congratulations and fingers crossed for a sticky bud xx

Peaky1 · 24/01/2019 10:54

@Scottish1 I'm very excited about that line. It's definitely there!!

Here's my latest one at 12dpo, due AF on Saturday. Getting darker! I'll officially get excited on Saturday 🥳
