TWW - 8 DPO

[AliceRR]

Anyone else? Any symptoms?

Still holding out here to test. I think i will try Saturday morning. Only have those cheap strip tests here

Had the tiniest bit of brown mixed in my discharge when I wiped before in the toilet. Wouldn't have seen it if I wasn't looking for anything different

Sorry @CatLover210 I just meant spotting usually means af is here for me

I feel similarly to you. As mentioned above my daughter was stillborn earlier this year and I feel like I’m not going to get another BFP. I know it’s a bit irrational and I haven’t been trying long but it’s easy to feel that way

You know what they say though, you’re not out ‘til the witch shows!

Hi @AliceRR

How’s the spotting? Has it gotten heavier or is it the same?

And wow I’m so sorry 😔. I couldn’t imagine the pain of going through a stillborn. You’re so strong for coming out the other end. If you ever need to chat please message me ❤️.

I know I said I wasn’t gonna test but I was in Poundland (as you do lol) and I just felt the need to buy their £1 test. My way of thinking was ‘I know I’m not so I just want to see it for myself so I can stop obsessing over it’ (I struggle with OCD).

Well I got a faint line that was clear to see with my eyes but wouldn’t pick up on camera so I’ve used the pregnancy test checker app to show the line. Do you think this is actually positive? I’m not sure how to feel!!!!

@CatLover210 Thank you. Yeah it’s been hard and I can never replace her but I’m 35 so didn’t want to wait too long to start trying for #2

I’m still spotting but that’s how my af usually starts so I assume it’s that although I was tempted to test too!

I can definitely see a line on your pic! 😊

@AliceRR Well let me know if AF arrives!

I don’t believe it yet still... I’ll wait til Saturday and do a CB !

@CatLover210 I couldn’t believe it when I got my first BFP. It was a clear positive but I was thinking of all the ways it might have been positive even if I wasn’t really pregnant and we were trying (but I wasn’t using OPKs then or anything and didn’t expect it to happen immediately). It’s so exciting! Let me know if you test again but that was positive 🤞

I will let you know but I’m not holding out much hope that it’s anything but af now.

This is my first TWW and I'm finding it difficult not to think about it.
I'll be honest and say I think we missed the window of conception (my boyfriend was in France, alright for some) but there's a slim chance.
I guess it's a good way of getting used to this feeling!

Good luck everyone.

@AliceRR When I got my first BFP with the pregnancy I didn't keep I found out at the doctors. I went in cause I thought I had thrush and they wanted to do a pregnancy test too for some reason. The pregnancy was caught early then too so although clearer than the test I took last night it was still faint. I made the doctor do FIVE more tests because I thought her tests were faulty.
I'm visiting my parents tonight after work and my partner has a work event tonight so I just wanna focus on my day today and try not to think about it. If the CB confirms tomorrow morn I will tell him tomorrow. :D
'Try not to think about it' yet I've spent all night tossing and turning in case my AF does arrive and maybe it's a chemical because I tested too early... TTC is not very fun nor relaxed is it??

@ItAllStartedHere That's a shame your boyfriend was away during your window. Did you use OPKs this month to determine your fertile window?
I started taking folic acid less than 4 weeks ago now (day or two after I got my period this cycle) and I might have a BFP (my pics are earlier in the thread) so I'm wondering if that helped me??

@CatLover210 I have my fingers crossed for your test later.

I'm 11dpo today ad think I'm out 😕. Temp is still high, RHR dropped by one though and I had a small bit of spotting last night. I'm gutted.

We are DTD at the correct times, both taking supplements and it's just not happening. Been TTC 10months now and all I have to show is heartache from a MC back in April. I don't know what else to try. You are supposed to be more fertile after MC and I'm obviously not.

I did a few tests this morning.
I think they were negative so far, but only one seemed to work.. One strip basic stayed completely blank ie no control line either, so did another, control line appeared slowly but no other, then did a regular window test where no control line appeared either within the 3 mins, and then just control line appeared after 20+ minutes.

Should be 13dpo

So I assume nada.
However, I had had some browny disharge (TMI), since Thursday evening. I thought it was AF but it would have been be 4-5 days early, and hasn't developed into anything. So no idea. If no full AF arrives, might test again Monday.

How frustrating Caspian. Sounds good though with the spotting? Fingers crossed!

I also tested today... Straight away I could see the line but it disappeared to almost nothing. It's a real squinter with no hint of pink so I've no idea if it's a BFP or an evap. I'll have to get a proper test today I think.

@wineymummy I live in the middle of nowhere really, so the only way to get tests easily is to get delivered from the UK. Hence im probably stuck with these semi duff ones for a while.
Ah well, Maybe its just too early or not this time around

Hey Ladies

I’m 12 or 13 dpo today and I got my BFP!!

I’m in shock ! I don’t know how to feel! I want this baby so bad but it’s not sinking into my brain yet!! My hands are shaking as I’m typing this haha.

I did the test 15 mins ago (couldn’t sleep) but I think I’m gonna go gym to clear my brain (gym is my happy place) and as my gym is in town there’s a few things I wanna get in order to surprise my partner....

Hope the CB screen stays positive for a while???

Photo didn’t attach ^

Oh wow @CatLover210 that's absolutely fantastic news. I'm so glad your wait is over! This is only our first go and because of partner being away it is a LONG shot so I'll be ok. Can't see me enjoying this waiting thing every month though.
I use OPK to help along with my tracker app and noticing my cervical fluid changes too.

Have fun surprising your partner!!!!

Yes my dh was also alway in june until day 13 in cycle so likely missed it if early here

You’re in with a chance @ItAllStartedHere

@CatLover210 Congratulations!

@Kayjay2018 There’s still a chance for you too but I can understand how frustrating it must be each month. This is only cycle 3 for me and I already feel like it’s not going to happen but hopefully it will happen for us 🤞

@Caspianberg When is af due?

@wineymummy Fingers crossed for you too. You wanted your BFP in July I think didn’t you? 😊

I’m still spotting but it’s getting heavier so I’m still pretty sure it’s he start of at, so much so that I had two glasses of Prosecco last night!

@Caspianberg I think you're in for a chance in day 13!!

Thanks girls :)

@CatLover210 congratulations on the BFP. I wish you a happy and healthy 9 months!

@Catlover210 - congratulations on the BFP

AF arrived here yesterday (4 days early), so thats me out for this month. Good luck with everyone else for this month, and maybe see you into next month on another post.

Af due today according to FF (I think due tomorrow if I'm going back to pre MC Luteal phase. I tested this morning on an FRER and stark white, so despite the still high BBT which made me hopeful, this obviously is not my cycle.

Fingers crossed for a BFP in August!

@Kayjay2018 @Caspianberg thank you ❤️❤️!

I really think taking folic acid and just having sex every day the week I was fertile is what did it for me. We had been passively trying but this cycle we really went for it so to speak 😅.

AF has definitely arrived for me too which is a shame 😬
