Anyone starting the TWW #2

[Gigi318]

Hey ladies, has anyone started a new thread? If so, link it for me and if not here it is!

@Laur89 @Ellsbells112 @Robbo93 @Lauren3118 @Anny27 @Gems7 @Happymumma29 not sure if I missed anyone!

Hi all. I'm 10-11DPO, 2 days late. I got a negative FRER two days ago (8-9DPO) the day AF was due, I usually have a 27 day cycle and a short luteal phase. I'm now on CD29, no real symptoms apart from sore breasts (but alas I've been wfh and not wearing a bra so that's probably why).

Will test again tomorrow but feeling a bit bummed that I'm having no symptoms so not feeling confident. This was also the first month I took conception vitamins and I've heard they can mess up your cycle.

Let me know when you test or if AF arrives @Gems7 @Missgoldilocks :D

We are taking a ttc break this month - see how the virus pans out. Last pregnancy I needed a lot of intervention so think whilst the nhs is super stretched it's best that I wait a while. For you guys if you have successful and easy pregnancies I dont think there is a reason to wait :)

@Gems7 @anny27 will do. I'm due tomorrow so it may come tonight. I'm not getting my usual symptoms, normally I have bad cramps for 2 days prior and sickness but I started taking dong quai 3 days ago and if it's started to work already like that then I'm really happy! The pain and sickness was just awful to deal with. So if af comes nice and quietly it'll make it easier lol

@Annny27 Defo will do hun, I won't be testing until I think I'm definitely late, so mid next week..
Half way through 12DPO now (CD27) and STILL no sign of spotting 🤞🏻🤞🏻 It's unheard of for me..
Not getting my hopes up for a BFP though as the Agnus castus has probs made my cycle slightly different hasn't it.. not taking them now because I ran out yesterday.
Boobs are tender and I feel so fat and bloated and ugly these last 2 days 😞 AF must be here soon! Xx

@Annny27 me and OH won't stop trying i don't think but if AF arrives for me then I think I'll ditch the OPK's and logging everything for the next couple of months as it's far too stressful and I get so upset each month! Xx

@Missgoldilocks what's dong quai? 👀

@Gems7 yeah it's upsetting every month isn't it :( dong quai is a herb it's great for pms cramps and fertility! Honestly I feel like crap but I don't feel like a truck has hit me how I normally feel 😂
Ohhh yes agnus castus does change cycles but that's great news because fingers crossed it'll lengthen your LP!! Whoop whoop for no spotting xx

Girls..... I'm freaking out over here!!!!!!
I said I wasn't testing until I'd missed a period but I found an old clearblue rapid response in the bathroom cabinet.. I don't even have the instructions for the bloody thing anymore.. LOOK!!!!!!!

OMG @Gems7 that looks like a BFP to me!!! When did you say you were due on?? Eeekkkk that's so exciting!!!!!

@Laur89 Thankyou huni, I still can't believe it, I feel like it's not true. I had a bottle of wine last night because I literally thought there was no way after all this time. 😫
Not fully sure when AF is due, I would say Sun/Mon.. my cycles always vary by a few days.. I said I wasn't going to test until then but I've had no spotting which is unusual and it's been niggling at me on and off, then I saw the rapid response when I was in the bathroom and thought sod it.. xx

@Gems7 omg!!!! That's a massive BFP!!!! congratulations chick that's amazing!! 😻😻❤️🤗🤗 I'm sooo happy for you!! How long was you actually trying for?? You started vitex this month right?
My temperature has dropped straight down to coverline so af will be here at some point today if not any minute

Omg!!!!! Dreams do come true 🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳 that's amazing @gems7 how long have you been trying again?

And did you do anything different these month?

@Gems7 congratulations sweetheart that's amazing xxx

Congratulations @Gems7, so exciting!! How are you feeling?

@Annny27 @Missgoldilocks @PrettyTulip @Laur89
Thank-You all so much, I'm still not convinced it's positive, it just feels like it's not true at the moment it's so weird Im struggling to believe it, going to make OH go out and buy another one later from somewhere just to double check!
This is my 9th cycle, and I was so sure I was going onto cycle 10.
All I have done differently is take high dose Agnus castus (and 400mcg folic acid like normal)
And I made OH take Ginseng..
I got them from a herbalist shop.
Wether it was because of those or just a coincidence who knows 🤷🏻‍♀️

I feel okay, I have mild cramps on and off, and my boobs are a little bit tender. My OH made a comment about them looking big the other day in a top I had on but I have quite big boobs anyway so didn't think anything of that. Apart from that I am fine and dandy, really thought AF was coming!

If I get another positive later today I still think it's going to take a while to sink in xx

@Gems7 yeah it takes a while to sink in doesn't it! When I saw my BFP I couldn't believe it, I genuinely thought af was coming also! This is your second pregnancy isn't it? Let us know when you take another test! I'm so happy for you, it's sooo exciting!! 😁😁😁

@Laur89 yes my second but my first was such a long time ago now. Thankyou so much, I hope you are feeling okay in your pregnancy xx

Well OH came back with another test (a cheaper brand I've not heard of before) and it's negative.. 🤷🏻‍♀️
That clearblue was such a strong line this morning too.. now I just feel shit! 😞

@gems7 you are still early before your period so a cheaper brand might be less sensitive! Get him to get a first response and thay will be reliable before your period

Xxx

Also you are supposed to use FMU for before your period so perhaps your qwe was also diluted xxx

@Annny27 yeah maybe.. 😏
I'll see if I can grab one from somewhere later today for tomorrow morning.

@Gems7 that line is so clear though!! I honestly think the cheaper brand isn't picking up the low levels of hcg! Don't get under the weather yet wait for a new test xx

I've ripped it apart like a crazy woman and I can see a very very faint line, OH checked and he could see it too (very faint) so that's made me feel a bit better! I'll check again tomorrow
Thankyou for making me feel better girls 😘 xx

The pictures not great.. xx

Yep definitely there I can see it xx @Gems7 don't worry that was a strong bfp on the first one xx❤️
