**Calling ALL TWWers** Testing buddies starting 15th June Onwards

[CaramelTart23]

Hello and welcome!

I kinda wanted to make my own thread as I've been itching to POAS at only 7dpo 😒 I know I know... ridiculous right?

So need you lovely ladies to join in and keep each other distracted, share your experience, have a giggle/cry together and most importantly have each others support during BFNs and BFPs.

Please feel free to jot down your cycle/dpo info and when your AF is due so we can all keep a track of where we are!

This is also a thread where you are free to post any thoughts, poems, pictures, recipes, dreams and aspirations, the good the bad and the ugly 😝

As always stay safe and baby dust to you all!

Cycle #6
CD22
7 DPO
TTC #1
A fudging F due 17th

I can't believe how lucky this thread is, congratulations all with bfp!
I had cramps yesterday and bad night last night. Strange pulling feeling round my belly button all day and even though I'm due today no sign of af. Just did an IC and bfn again. Wish AF would just turn up now so I can get trying again next month 😭.

@Tonithetiger I'm also impatiently waiting for AF to arrive to get it out of the way! I've had my usual spotting I get these days for 2 days before AF starts and a completely negative FRER days ago so 100% know it's a no this month. Just wish I could get to CD1 to start again fresh.

Glad to see others have been getting some good news though 👍🏼 there's hope for us all

Hi ladies, I've just done a test but I can't be certain if I see a faint line or not! I don't know if it's just me... it's not picking up on pictures I don't think! If it's there It's super faint! I have another so I'll do it in morning with FMU but can anyone else see anything or am I getting my hopes up?

Hi everyone. I'm very new to mumsnet so bare with me as I learn.
Hope I'm OK to join you ladies.

I'm 32, ttc #2, cycle#1 I have 1 dc, 13. I had my mirena removed mid May and ov 10th June. I believe I'm 6 or 7 dpo but unsure what my body is actually doing at the moment but did ovulate as I bought loads of ov tests and have been obsessed with the whole process. Can't wait to poas and get a bfp!! X

Sorry ladies I know I sound obsessed but I read a thing about OPKs being used as a pregnancy test so decided to try it... it had something to do with LH and HCG being similar does anyone know if this is true!?

@2020mission see my cramps keep coming and going and it's not really usual af cramps but with 3 bfn now I can't see it changing. Just wanna know whats going on!
@BronzeSilverGold13 not sure I can see one but it's a pain when the camera doesn't pick it up. I'm sure you'll get a clearer one with fmu.

@BronzeSilverGold13 Heyyy sorry for the late response... I decided to give myself a time out.

How have you been feeling?

I think I see a little bit of blue on the test line, I would deffo test again with fmu. Hope it goes well! Xx

I've tested again today 😩😭 it's definitely darker than the last test I did but still feint I'm not sure why since it's been 2-3 days I was sure it would be a lot darker than this hmmm... think I'll be testing again tomorrow 😩 this is driving me INSANE god I just want to screammmm!!

Feeling really drained... this cycle has really tested my patience lol 😅

This is my test from this morning at 14dpo.... no sign of AF yet.

Still feeling the hot flushes and heaviness in my uterus and light brown cm which is definitely odd as I don't get any cm before AF. She comes very much imminently 😒

I really don't know what to make of this test and hoping that it does get darker tomorrow 😩 feel like I'm being tricked by my own body.

Should I be worried?

@CaramelTart23 thank you for saying that! I sent it to my BFF and she said she couldn't see anything and DP said he wasn't sure, I don't know if I'm wishing it there or if it's visible.

I still see a line in the test you've just posted! I've been reading up about how the HCG leaves can actually fluctuate! That's why I mentioned about the Ovulation tests... I read that the ovulation tests actually look for a LH which is a similar hormone to HCG but the tests can detect lower amounts of HCG if taken after a missed AF. I took one this evening after my test and it's very much positive! So either I'm ovulating again/late or it's a low amount of LH/HCG?!

I know what you mean about driving yourself crazy! I am too. I just want to know one way or another now!

I'm feeling pretty much the same as I was tbh. Still getting a lot of watery CM to the point that DP actually asked if I was turned on!

I really hope it gets darker for you but I also read that sometimes the HCG levels are so low that it only really gets detected by blood test! So if you're still unsure if go to GP!

@CaramelTart23 I do see a faint line in that FRER you just posted but can't recall how faint or strong it was previously. Was your ovulation estimated or did you do tests? I hope it sticks for you 🤞 when would AF have been due?

I started getting brown or pink tinted CM for 2-3 days before AF over the last few months but I never got that in the past until I started TTC - it's really confusing.

Bfn for me today. Due on usually today.. but cycles have been known to go on a day or two longer. 14dpo and bfn so think I'm out. Trying to convince myself it's because I tested like 20 mins ago and lots of water and juice today. Maybe try Friday with fmu if no af by then.
@CaramelTart23 can defo see your line. Was it with fmu? X

@BronzeSilverGold13 Really hoping it works out for all us here on this thread. It's just frustrating when you've come so close to the end of tww and it's still just a waiting game ughgh 😩

Thank youuu 🙏 if I don't get a darker line by tomorrow I think I might just give my GP a call x

@2020mission My last test was so feint I had to use filters just to get a squint of it lol.. I've not needed that today (fmu)... thank god I held it in my hubby thinks I'm a pee machine haha

I've been using OPKs every morning and evening and my peak was a little late this cycle at cd15 around 11pm

AF due today according to flo but we'll see I will be testing again tomorrow x

personally I find it difficult to check CM as I don't get much of it. But like you I have found it really confusing this cycle. Usually light brown and light pink CM are a good sign so let's hope we get our sticky bean 🙏🙏🙏

Fingers crossed for you @CaramelTart23 x

Sorry I am late to the thread! I would love to join, I am due AF on Sunday but got these today at 11dpo with afternoon wee, I'm so hoping it is positive and would love to share the journey with others 🥰

@CaramelTart23 I really hope it works out too! My cousin knew she was pregnant with her DD she did a blood test but it came back BFN she asked for another and it came back BFP so everything is so unpredictable but I'd deffo call GP if you're still unsure!

@Mich2020 I definitely think it's worth testing again!! I hope it's just your body building hormones 😩🙏🙏 really praying for you! I know it's difficult with the wait and not knowing what could be in our paths. But fingers crossed for all us

Keep us updated x

I shall do 🤞🏻🤞🏻 for us both xx

AF arrived this morning. Kind of glad it's finally here. FX for July!

I got a negative test this morning after two faint positives last night :( I find the whole thing so stressful!

Hi everyone, I've been getting these cramps for the last two days and I'm a POAS addict 😂 so I took a FRER this morning (7dpo) and it's come up with two lines 😱😱

It looks pink in real life... not sure how it's going to show up on here?! Really hope it sticks!! Xx

@hannah88j wow congratulations! That line looks really good for 7dpo! Are you certain with your ovulation dates? Either way, it's a very nice positive!

@Tonithetiger sorry that AF got you, but fingers crossed for you next month.

@xx11xx I'm not the best with really faint lines, but I couldn't see anything on last night's photos I'm sorry. That doesn't mean there isn't anything there because I know from the last couple of days with mine that there was definitely something, it just didn't photograph well! How many DPO are you? It could still just be really early for you, don't lose hope just yet!

Thank you, I'm 12dpo today. There was some pink to them yesterday but we have had really bad luck with false positives over but the last few months and have been trying for a while so was trying not to get my hopes up. Hard though isn't...

Congrats Bluebubbles! That's amazing!

@bluebubbles12 I tracked using the Premom app. I got my peak OPK on 10th June so presumed I ovulated on 11th - so I'm as surprised as you are to see a line like that! I've been having cramps for the last two days so thought I may have implanted at 5dpo... but worried that's too early so we shall see what happens over the next week or so! I'll keep testing ☺️🤞🏻

Sorry I meant congrats Hannah! ☺️

@xx11xx thank you ☺️🥰
