TWW testing end of sept/Oct

[MrsSokhi]

First cycle trying, 3 days post ovulation.
How do you all cope with the TWW? My best friend rang me today to tell me she is pregnant with her second so it's almost to good to be true that it's worked for me first time 🤞🏻
I'll be testing next Sunday, want to wait the full 2 weeks incase of chemical pregnancy.

@Lilsttc welcome btw! I'm not sure I have any words of wisdom ... other than having this forum to share has been really helpful. For me my OH doesn't want to hear all my hormonal stuff much, not at least until a positive result comes up! x

Thank you. Sorry you're out.

Yeah symptom spotting is the worst, isn't it amazing how blind we are to these things have have happened to us for years every month but now we're ttc it's like omg my boobs, my cramps, my cm. I even piss myself off 😂😂

I hear you @MadisonC Google can be terrible can't it. Two weeks has never felt so long. I'm a little worried that I'm due on Sunday and I don't have the same symptoms I had last month. My boobs hurt like crazy and yet this month nothing. I'm worried that my cycle is going to prove to be completely messed up still.
But wait and see I guess. Grrrr.

Keep strong ladies.

Af due Monday/Tuesday and ttc 3, a few months in now and driving myself crazy!

@MadisonC sorry to hear it's not your month either :(
I'm hoping to relax with this next cycle and try and not symptom spot but who knows lol

@Chaosonthehorizon welcome hope it's your month xx

Thanks @MrsSokhi from what I remember of our second pregnancy we conceived after the 3rd cycle and it was getting a little easier, I think I was just getting bored of it by then. I must admit I don't know how people do it for years, that must be so tough.
How are you doing now it's been a couple of days? I'm a little low today, not awful but feeling hormonal like I'm a teenager again! x

This made me chuckle, no useful/practical advice but makes it clear we're not the only ones feeling this way, our anxieties and repetitive thoughts are perfectly normal -

All the best ladies xx

@MadisonC well that I mean about pms I didn't get because I was on the pill. I just wanted to cry at everything and was so moody. Not looking forward to that again haha my poor husband.

Yeah I think your right about getting bored and completely agree about trying for years must be so hard, babies are everywhere for me at the min xx

Hi ladies, woken up to an absolute squinter of a line, can anyone else see it? I feel like I'm going made looking at a test this much!!

I should add I did a FRER too and it's as white as white can be

@Lilsttc I can see a faint line!

@Chaosonthehorizon I'm also due on Thursday 3rd Oct. This is our 5th cycle ttc now, I know its not long in the grand scheme of things but finding it really hard. Trying not to symptom spot, thr only thing I've noticed different this month to all the others, is the last couple of days my left boob hurts first thing in the morning. At first I thought it was heartburn, but in all honesty I don't even know if I've ever had heartburn to know what it feels like.

Fingers crossed to everyone. @MrsSokhi will this be your first baby? Xxx

Hello, hope you don't mind me jumping on this! TTC baby #1 this is our second cycle, now 4pdo. I told myself i wouldnt obsess symptom spotting this month but been just as bad! I imagine every little twinge or ache as being some kind of sign or symtom. The 2ww is sooo long DH doesnt get it at all, he tells me to just chill and not think about it

Hi all

I've not even bought any frer because a) I don't want to test too early because it makes me sad and b) there have been reports of them giving out false positives which is heartbreaking. I bought a load of one step sheet tests so I'm going to wait until AF is due and use one of those instead

*cheap tests

Advice please ladies. I am 9dpo today and bought a few of the CB Early responses this morning. When should I test? Getting very impatient! AF due on Tuesday.

Blue dye tests are notoriously bad for false positives so I would wait a few more Fahd

*days

The first responses say they can detect from 6 days before your missed period (so 5 days before its due) but the sooner you test the less accurate they will be. The best thing is to wait until the day your AF is due but for me that is impossible as too impatient haha

@littlevoice22 oh, I'm absolutely the same haha. Tested with a cheap Poundland one a couple of days ago and got a BFN but was only 6dpo then. Don't know what I was thinking! Don't want to waste the First response (not CB as previously stated) as they're more expensive.

@Marlieandme81 last month i started testing at 6dpo all the way through to AF like a crazy woman! Cost a fortune haha

@littlevoice22 I'm totally obsessed too. I ordered 20 tests from Ebay on the cheap so I won't feel so bad about 'wasting' them. When are you due AF?

@Marlieandme81 AF due 8th October. Pretty sure i ovulated monday as got what i think it a positive Opk on sunday and then had cramps on monday so should be 4dpo... when are you due?

Omg I'm glad it's not just me getting impatient. I can't concentrate at work hence being on here! I've ordered some ICs however these weren't reliable for me last time I just don't want to keep wasting money on frer and cb. I'm convincing myself I'm out for this month as don't have any symptoms to note other than heavy, bigger boobs (which happens with af anyway) and been feeling as though I'm coming down with something sore throat, blocked nose in morning etc. I just want to know now whether I'm out or not so I can prepare for the next cycle.

@MrsLEB dont count yourself out just yet, I've read lots of women getting cold symptoms before getting their Bfp, and heavy boobs is a great sign. I have ups and downs of feeling pregnant then being convinced I'm not, no symtoms thus far but my logical side is telling me its way too early

Hi Im currently waiting patiently with a test in the draw too! AF due on 2nd. Zero symptoms but I didn't have any with my first til gone 6 weeks pregnant. This is our first month trying for number 2.

Dumb question but what does tww stand for?
