Hey guys

Is anyone else in the TWW and want to join me in desperately trying not to test 😂

Currently 4DPO in cycle 9 of TTC, and frantically googling when is the absolute earliest I can test, driving myself insane!

How's everyone else finding the TWW at the min? Lockdown is making it harder cause I'm home all day with all my tests 🤦‍♀️

Baby dust to all x

@helia thank you, feels awful but nothing I can do. Bleeding getting heavier so going to be a rough few days xx

Sdoo4 · 16/07/2020 09:39

@helia wow!! That is a definite positive, amazing!!

I’m going to pop out and get some tests today. 16dpo now with no sign of AF. Keep getting little bits of white discharge, and AF type cramps come and go. I usually get painful cramp the day of AF and that’s it. Also been quite nauseous this morning. Can’t put it off any longer, need to test today!

So sorry @mrsgtobe97 Sad look after yourself xx

Bims2019 · 16/07/2020 11:13

Still no AF for me but I cracked and did another test yesterday afternoon. Again possibly the faintest of lines but I'm starting to wonder if it's just a dud batch of frers. Either that or I'm losing it 🤦🏼‍♀️

Katiekat12 · 16/07/2020 15:25

@mrsgtobe97 ooh moo bless you.. look after yourself and don’t get disheartened xx
I’m 7dpo today and got absolutely no symptoms I normally get sore boobs by now on every cycle starting from about 5dpo but nothing so far

Katiekat12 · 16/07/2020 15:26

Sdoo4 · 17/07/2020 10:26

@Gab101 17dpo today. Been feeling a bit funny this week and getting cramps on and off so was scared to test incase AF was on the way.

helia · 17/07/2020 10:50

@Sdoo4 Congratulations! Flowers

Bims2019 · 17/07/2020 11:01

Aww congratulations @Sdoo4! Lovely news 😊

Itisme90 · 17/07/2020 12:02

@Sdoo4 congratulations that’s amazing news I am 10 dpo today have been having cramps on and off for a few days so hoping it’s implantation and slightly off my food but apart from that nothing else going to wait till I am late to test

Jurassiclover · 17/07/2020 15:12

Sorry I've been MIA guys, been dealing with grieving for a friend who passed away recently. Would've been his birthday this week so I've been a bit all over the place.

@mrsgtobe97 So so sorry to hear of your chemical, look after yourself!

@Sdoo4 eeeek, congratulations that's amazing!

I'm 17dpo and no sign of AF still, had a lot of creamy CM so not sure what on earth is happening

Bims2019 · 17/07/2020 17:45

@Jurassiclover so sorry about your friend, that must be so tough. It's important to take time when you need to so don't be sorry 😘

I'm also 17dpo and same, no AF! No idea what is going on. I'm reluctant to test again as pretty sure she's on the way, I keep getting dull cramps. But part of me can't help hoping...

Jurassiclover · 17/07/2020 19:10

@Bims2019 thank you lovely 😘

I'm exactly the same! I've got sore nipples too but I don't want to bother testing for it to only end up negative cause i feel like then I'll get stressed and probably prolong AF even more hahaha

acaciabluebell · 17/07/2020 21:04

It seems quite a few people are 17dpo! I would also be 17dpo today if AF hadnt showed up 😂 funny that we all ovulated on the same day lol

Good luck to you girls @Jurassiclover @Bims2019 xx

Gab101 · 18/07/2020 07:42

Question ladies - what's the longest you all know of it taking someone to get a positive pregnancy test? We always focus on the shortest (8 dpo) but I'd love to know the longest it's taken. X

scrambledeggy · 18/07/2020 08:36

Hi everyone! I've been lurking for ages! Can I ask opinions on this FRER? I'm 15 DPO, and I have quite irregular periods. It's my first cycle trying and I did the test quite sleepily this morning, didn't see anything after 3 mins, then went back to sleep. Woke up a few hours later, glanced at the test and saw this! Could it be a BFP given the time that has passed? I'm going to wait until tomorrow to test again.

Jurassiclover · 18/07/2020 09:47

@acaciabluebell oh wow that is so strange we all ovulated at the same time haha! What's really weird is that I hadn't ovulated, then got the shock/stress of finding out my friend had died and then I ovulated, I would've thought the stress would have stopped me ovulating but nope, my body decided it was a good time to ovulate 😂

@Gab101 my DPs mum (future MIL) only got a BFP once she was 2weeks late! She didn't find out until she was around 8 weeks because she kept testing but getting negatives.

@scrambledeggy that definitely looks positive to me! Does it have colour? Looks pink in that pic so I'd say unlikely to be an evap! Definitely test again when you can just to be sure

scrambledeggy · 18/07/2020 09:58

@Jurassiclover Held it up to the light and had DH look at it, it's definitely pink! I'm trying to calm myself down before I head out to buy another one. And thank you for being so generous with your own time when it sounds like it's not been easy for you lately. I am really grateful.

Also @Gab101, I was getting nothing but BFNs until this morning (what I believe to be 15dpo), and even this is pretty faint.

Yesterday my boobs started to feel very weird and painful...can only describe as being like they had tennis balls inside them Confused and I've been losing appetite all week, but I just put that down to AF approaching.

scrambledeggy · 19/07/2020 07:59

Okay, spanner in the works, a BFN the next day. See picture for comparison. Does this mean I've had a chemical pregnancy or is it worth testing again next week? Sad
