TWW - Early October

[30somethingandtired]

I'm 2DPO today so right at the beginning of the 2WW.

Anyone else?

Ahh okay now I feel more excited. Just took one step pregnancy test and got these results. 😁

@Kayleigh0713 those lines are so good for 9dpo they're darker then mine were yesterday at 9dpo. Trying not to test today and wait a day or two so there's hopefully some good progression. I'm so anxious about it all but there's not much I can do, I do kind of wish I'd waited till Friday now 

@Wewin thank-- you already google searching proms-- trying not to get too excited at the min as it's sooo early. I'm always constipated even more so since I've been taking prenatal vitamins but I know change in that erm area can be a sign. Are you going to wait or test in a few days? Fingers crossed for you

I've been getting cramps on and off since 4dpo and I feel like my uterus is full.. like when you've overeaten but down there instead of in my stomach haha. And my boobs hurt and today I am very grumpy and tired and I don't want to make tea so dh will probably starve as he cannot possibly cook himself

@Kayleigh0713 that last photo looks very clear to me, it's a bfp!

I've not caved in to testing yet, I don't seem to be feeling as positive as I was that this might be my month so I don't want to feel worse if I get an early negative. Might do one tomorrow with fmu, I'll be 8-9 dpo but I usually ovulate earlier than day 14 so still about 10 days away from af due date.

Ahhh amazing @Kayleigh0713 @Flossylou congratulations to you both

So early too amazing!! I have poas and totally negative! Think I'm out this month :(

Do you class 1dpo as the day your temp spikes or the following day as 1dpo? Do you class the temp spike day as ovulation? X

Oooh such exciting news! Congratulations ladies x

@Lew2016 I count 1DPO as the day after ovulation. Not sure on temp though as I was mainly using OPKs.

Saw GP today about something else and they asked me to take a pregnancy test. Waiting for FMU tomorrow. Not due AF a week yet, I'm currently 7DPO, so will be 8DPO if I test tomorrow.

Didn't really want to test this early, but guess I need to follow the GP's instructions. 🤞

It's a BFN for me this morning 😞.

Only 8DPO so was too early to test, but still feeling disappointed.

@30somethingandtired I'm sorry, I feel your pain! BFN for me too :(
Banging headache too! Bet AF is on its way quite soon for me :(

Hey Sorry I don't know if I am on the right thread as never really post usually just read. Period was due yesterday, no sign so fingers crossed but had 2 negative tests :(

@30somethingandtired same here, silly me new it was far too early but tested anyway. I will restrain myself from further nonsense...for now!

@30somethingandtired I think I see a shadow on your test. The pic is blurry though so can’t be sure, so don’t lose hope!

@Kayleigh0713 your line is amazingly good for so early. I hope it keeps getting stronger for you.

@Flossylou I know what you mean about that full feeling in your uterus. I’ve got that today. It’s like it’s filled with air. That’s so like me when I get pg, I get grumpy! Last month when I had a slight chemical, my adorable puppy who I’m in love with, well I wouldn’t even let her up on the bed much. It’s usually my husband who feels the brunt of it so he got off! When I was pg with my youngest I completely went off him. It was hilarious. I even hated his smell and wouldn’t let him near me unless he’d recently showered and changed all his clothes. He has a weird smell that I only smell when I’m pg.

Hoping all the rest of you ladies are doing well and hanging in there! I’m 9dpo today and i had a weird dream last night about breastfeeding en-masse. There were many people in a massive club type outside environment and everyone was breastfeeding- even the men! Now that’s got to be one of the weirdest dreams I’ve ever had. It was really disturbing and in my dream I was saying “nooo! This isn’t right!”

I didn’t chart or use OPK’s this month. So I think I’m 9dpo. My boobs hurt today. But that’s totally normal for me. I’m not hungry, tired, thirsty, moody, no increased sense of smell etc. So I know it’ll be a bfn if I test, will wait a few more days and see if my usual pg symptoms materialise. AF is due on Monday.

It would be so funny if I do end up pg on the month with little symptoms!

@Lew2016 everybody is different when it comes to temp rise after ovulation. My temp starts to rise 2-3 days after ovulation. I’m a slow riser. Other people’s temperature will shoot up the next day after ovulation. You usually get a little temperature dip on your ovulation day.

@30somethingandtired it's so early I agree, I had a stark white blank test at 8dpo! Give it a few days and re-test.

@robarc are your cycles usually regular? May have ovulated late so that's why not picking anything up

@Wewin what a weird dream, I've been having weird dreams for a few weeks now, but none quite that weird I've been smelling everything so much stronger and tasting everything- until today when I've woken up to a full blown cold. Currently sat at my desk wishing I was in bed.

I did a test again this morning at 11dpo and it's still not really dark, granted it's darker then 9dpo but not dark enough to stop my worrying - one of the signs of ectopic pregnancies is faint tests- I only have one tube due to my last one so I really don't want it to happen again. Hate early pregnancy it's such a worrying time. I've got older dc and I never remember this stress- although my youngest is 11 so I don't really remember much from all those years ago and I suppose pregnancy at 22 is different than pregnancy at 33!

@Flossylou so sorry you are unwell. Hope you have an easy day at work and get home and snuggle. Testing is hard in the early days, it’s so worrying. Dye varies from each test especially with ic’s. I hope they keep getting real dark for you. Stay positive. I’m glad you’re dreams aren’t as weird, that was a strange dream I had lol. If I’m not pg then I’m obviously some weirdo!

Hey all! Hope your all well?

I'm so confused and gutted at the moment. So I took that frer with fmu yesterday along with 3 one step pregnancy test all came back positive very faint because as you all know I've tested earlier and you've all seen the photos.

However, this morning used a frer with fmu and came back negative so since then took another 2 one step test and they are practicular negative. A very very slight second line but a proper eye squinter so nothing like they were yesterday.

Would anybody know why 😢

@Kayleigh0713 So so sorry that's horrible hugs
It sounds unfortunately like a possible chemical? How many DPO are you/ were you when you took the positive tests?

I was 8dpo I'm now 9dpo. Could it happen that quickly then? That's so strange. Oh well I guess another month of trying 😔 thank you though x

@Kayleigh0713 I've been reading so much about testing and none progression etc. My line hasn't really got much darker as I would of expected in a day and a half. Apparently testing at different times of the day is bad because hcg fluctuates throughout the day.
And depends how hydrated you are... on Sunday I was really dehydrated (due to the previous nights wine).

I honestly wish I hadn't tested this early. All I'm doing is panicking, fingers crossed it all works out positively for us both.

@Kayleigh0713, you might not be out of the running yet. I've heard false negatives are more likely than false positives and I would think it would take more than a day for your hgc levels to drop if it is sadly a chemical. Just my opinion though.

Are tour lines on test still showing @Flossylou if so at least that's something mine have basically completely disappeared it's strange. Yours should hopefully start getting darker over the next couple of days. Good luck. X

@WutheringShites86 thank you, I'm not entirely sure I'm feeling very disheartened. I will never test early again haha. Thanks for your support. Will let you know how it goes x

@Kayleigh0713 yeh mine are still there but haven't really got any darker. I'm worried because it's a symptom of an ectopic as with an ectopic your hcg doesn't increase as quickly as it should. I agree with you early testing is a bad idea!! Really hoping there's a line for you on your next test

@Kayleigh I’m sorry your line doesn’t seem to be progressing at the moment. I’ve had 4 chemicals and they suck. I hope it’s not the case with you. Some chemicals can go on to week 5 (20 dpo) then fads out. Some can last just a few days. Last month I got a very faint line that didn’t progress then disappeared 9-12dpo. Other months BFP 11-13dpo only then AF. They are all different. Hugs xx

Hi all - im new to this forum im 44 years old and ttc - I'm currently 8 dpo and have been following this thread with interest! Good luck everyone xx

Hi @Lizziejayne13, welcome. Looks like you're in our boat!

@Lizziejayne13 welcome to the group, definitely in the right place. Lots of luck to you

Wow, so many posts to catch up on tonight! Welcome new ladies x

Thanks @Lew2016 , @WutheringShites86 and @Flossylou . I tested earlier than I had wanted to as my GP wanted to rule out pregnancy before doing other tests, I'm booked in for bloods tomorrow. @Wewin I checked the test when I got home and it still looks depressingly blank to me so probably just the fuzzy photo, but I'll try again when I'm actually due, which still feels like aaaaages away.

Get well soon @Flossylou , hope you get a nice dark positive line soon to put your mind at ease.

Sorry about your tests @Kayleigh0713 , big hugs. Chemicals are crap.
