TWW starts now, join me!

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.

So according to this table Superdrug's own brand is one of the most sensitive at 10miu - more sensitive than FRER which is 15miu, and the reviews are good too. Think I'm going to get some of these and have a first go at the weekend too...

@wheresthehope sorry to hear about your mmc I too had my second one in June 2018 and my due date was the 13th of this month. Sending you a hug. Xx

Lauraliverpool · 15/01/2019 10:38

@Doris19 have I got you hooked now 😂 it can be slightly addictive going on there and seeing what symptoms each day past ovulation is and high lighting the date in your phone and diary the date you miss your AF and officially late so go and ahead and test date! I think I have a problem haha 😂

I did try superdrugs own brand when testing one month and must have got a dodgy pack as literally no control line even came up in the window. They are reasonable though. Have seen on Amazon think it's a double test pack of frer for £7.62 or a first response, clear blue and a one step for £8.99. x

T2710 · 15/01/2019 10:50

Had never heard of that website, thanks for the heads up. Guess I might be popping to Superdrug after work

T2710 · 15/01/2019 10:54

I actually just read some reviews of the Superdrug tests-lots of fake BFPs. Think Ill just wait a couple more days and try FRER

Pika88 · 15/01/2019 11:28

I just got a BFN, I have been trying really hard not to test, AF is due on 20th.
I used Clear Blue Digital which says it can detect before period, but I am hoping it was still too early. Think I might pick up some cheaper tests tomorrow.

@pika8. Those cb digital aren't her sensitive at all. Have you tried a early detection conventional test rather than a to go? Not out until AF arrives

Thanks @Doris I’ll have a look at that list!

takingtheplungeagain · 15/01/2019 14:13

My last pregnancy I had no tell tale symptoms at all except a little mild cramping leading up to when AF was due, I still micro analyse every single little thing this time round as a potential sign of pregnancy Grin

takingtheplungeagain · 15/01/2019 14:16

I got the faintest line on ic at 11dpo and a very strong BFP at 12dpo on a frer do I'm going to try (who am I kidding) to wait til 11dpo Wink

Welcome new threadmates!!

closedcircuit · 15/01/2019 14:50

@pika88 what strong symptoms! It could be a 24hr but or something that didnt agree with you though. I would be cautious as it is quite early.

@wheresthehope sorry to hear about your MMC Flowers to you

Apart from my back ache today im feeling generally good. No more tiredness than usual. Hopefully this is a good sign.
I have an insane case of the munchies though. Want to eat everything always, lol.

MaryZM · 15/01/2019 14:56

Hello!
I’m on my 2ww, AF due on the 18th (so my app says). I took a FR early test yesterday but it was bfn so I’m not holding out hope.

closedcircuit · 15/01/2019 14:57

Pressed post too soon!

I like this link too - this has worked great for some other girls on MN too

Gumball54 · 15/01/2019 15:11

I’ve no symptoms really. Some light cramps and temp rise this morning. My temp always rises until the second AF starts so not reliable for detecting pregnancy sadly! Definitely works for tracking ovulation though. I’m also absolutely exhausted! I’ve just finished work and my son is at a friend’s - I’m tempted to nap!

closedcircuit · 15/01/2019 15:22

@gumball54 nap! You deserve the rest after the stresses of day to day life and ttc. Hopefully extra rest will promote a lovely environment in your uterus to get the ball (egg!) going lol

Lauraliverpool · 15/01/2019 17:37

Had like a stitch all day to the right of my belly button, been really hungry too! X

Just stuffed piece of bread and butter in my gob whilst doing the tea!

Jealous if your bread and butter @Laura I haven't got time for tea tonight as off to a quiz night down the local bar lol!

Mooey89 · 15/01/2019 18:36

I’m bloody exhausted! And I’ve got a headache - But then work has been mega stressful so could just be that.
I’m also constantly starving way more than usual...

I just don’t feel like I am though, like I just know I’m out this month you know?

Lauraliverpool · 15/01/2019 19:12

@Mooey89 you're not out til af shows up. So much goes into this trying for a baby business! X

Lauraliverpool · 15/01/2019 19:13

Ooh very nice @ShortandSweet96 enjoy your quiz night! X

Doris19 · 15/01/2019 19:19

@Lauraliverpool that is a good price on the FRERs!
@T2710 useful on the Superdrug ones too.
Think I will just try to hold out and do a frer next week. I got a pack of 2 on a deal in boots. I have quite a long cycle though so just not sure its worth testing this weekend 🤷‍♀️

@Mooey89 @MaryZM not out until AF!!!

I have no particular symptoms today and trying not to obsess but certainly on the eating band wagon...ended up tucking into some mini eggs...in January 🙈

Lauraliverpool · 15/01/2019 20:07

@Doris19 it is good isn't it? I've got a clear blue digital test left from when I got a bundle from Amazon. My cycle has varied by a few days lastest one was 25 days. I'm now working my way through fizzy multi coloured rainbow belts then going to open galaxy caramel bar. 😯 X

HeartvsHead · 15/01/2019 20:53

That website is addictive!!

My boobs feel full and I've had a bit if tugging in my lower stomach but pretty sure that happens every month. I did almost burst into tears today when telling my little girl I loved her earlier so may be something is starting to happen with the hormones!! I also can't stop yawning but had a busy couple of days at work.

I really hope it is a positive this month. A Sept/Oct baby would be awesome.
