SEPT 2020 BPF testing/ two week wait Gals 🤞🤞

[ChasingRainbow]

Hi girls,
Im currently in the tww and wondering if anyone is too and wants to share their journey. Im currently 8DPO and am doing my best to NOT poas though its so hard! Im literally an addict...but so far so good. Im determined this time to not test before 12DPO!
Bit about me: im 37, Have been ttc for just over a year now and in that time sadly had a MMC x 2 and more recently an ectopic requiring tube removal. So afraid that I wont be able to concieve on the side of my existing tube but ya gota have hope, right?! Hoping for a rainbow baby on this our fourth attempt.

Symptoms so far:
-Bigger boobs but not sore (yet)

• loads of rumblings going on low down
• sleepy after food
• weight loss ( though im on the large side so no harm there!)
• odd lower back pain
• VERY emotional (poor hubbie!)

Would love to chat to ladies in a similar boat to symptom share and have a laugh with in this horrible tww fiasco! Fingers crossed for baby dust for all hoping for their BFP ✨🤰🤗❤

Hi @ChasingRainbow thank you for asking 😘

Feeling a bit all over the place if I'm going to be honest.. I don't know whether to be grateful or worried but I have absolutely no symptoms now at all! 😔 I feel so normal.. With my last pregnancy I basically had it all, which was awful (at the time) but with this one I have nothing.. it makes me worried! Is it normal do you think? I'm hoping it's because I'm still so early, my app says I'm 5+2 but midwife believes I might be further along - it's hard to calculate as my cycles are long and irregular.

Just been feeling a bit confused by it all to be honest. But trying to stay positive 💓

Hope you're well anyway lovely, I hope to follow the next 2WW for you all when it arrives 💫

Thanks @ChasingRainbow irl there is definitely a line. Faint but there and so so hard to capture what I see on camera. I've been ttc for a long time now so I know I've never had these lines before. Lol. Hope your well 😊😊 x

Aww @Bellaashley it’s totally normal at this stage to have no symptoms. I think most women don’t feel much until at earliest 6 weeks. In my last pregnancy I don’t remember the nausea really kicking in until about 8 weeks, which was my main symptom in the first trimester. It’s so nerve racking being preg, but try to enjoy it if you can. 💓💓

Tomorrow will be 14 dpo for me, but I think my period is due on Thursday. I don’t want to get my hopes up so trying to avoid testing unless af is late. Tbh I’ve been having tonnes of AF symptoms , so I’m expecting her arrival any minute 😒! I Don’t think this month is my month, but you never know 🤞🏻.

Thanks @Bizawit 💓 I think I just needed that little reassurance. You're totally right, I'm going to try & start enjoying it rather than being a worrier! X

Great to hear you are well @DontFadeAway! And two days ahead aswell. Fantastic!
Out of interest, what dose of folic acid did they put you on? Is it 5mgs?
Mind yourself & congrats again! Xx ❤

Also, @Bizawit well done for not testing until now, I caved at 10DPO!! Don't lose faith, I'll keep my fingers crossed for those 2 lines for you 🤞

Hi everyone, would love to join!

I’m 8DPO, so crossing all fingers! We’ve been TTC on and off since Sept last year although we were basing things on the Ovia app’s fertile window. Starting using clear blue ovulation tests last month (!) and apparently shows that my fertile window when we were doing the deed was a week early! Science eh?!

We are both 34 and cannot wait to add a baby into the mix - it’s me, DH and a little puppy right now.

@Bellaashley absolutely right to stay positive lovely!
As far as I know, its completely normal to have different symptoms for each pregnancy, or none from one pregnancy to the next. And they say the 6 week mark is usually the start of morning sickness (though I defo disagree with that!!). Maybe you are one of the lucky ones with no M Sickness 🤞🤞🤞 Hopefully you are!

Tcc, pregnancy, delivery. All of it has fresh worries and concerns at every stage, doesnt it. You are so right - positivity is the way forward. Congrats again lovely xx ❤

Still holding out hope for you @Bizawit 🤞🤞 Are you testing tomorrow morn?

Welcome @RazzleDazz1e 👋 Hoping this is a positive cycle for you x

@ChasingRainbow thank you lovely, hope you're keeping well too!

Yes they've put me on 5mg of folic acid :) feeling much more reassured now that's in my system xx

Hey everyone! Been Mia! I started bleeding 2 days late with very very very light pink blood but it then turned into a period. But now stopped bleeding again. So so strange. It lasted 2 days stopped then today I've had really really light pink spotting. This is so odd for me because I normally have 5-6day periods sometimes 7 days! Maybe just an odd month for me x

Sorry to hear that @Imog have you tested again just incase? X

@Mich2020 hey! I have but didn't hold my we in long. Not sure whether I can see a vv faint line or it's an Evap? How are you doing lovely?

Here's another x

Think I can see something in the second pic. I'm 2 days late now. Think I've got a bfp this evening but it's not dark but definitely darker than I have been getting. So confused. Also done a cb but left it too long so can't count it yet x

Can see a line on all of them @Mich2020 eeee congratulations 🎊

Thanks @Imog I don't want to get too excited yet. It's still very faint x

Thanks @Bellaashley and @ChasingRainbow. 💓
Not testing yet, as I hate going through the disappointment of a negative test. I’m going to wait and see if AF comes or not first. AF due tomorrow. Wasn’t having many AF symptoms today and got more optimistic again, but right now I have horrible cramps 🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️😔

So I cracked and tested this afternoon. One day after AF was due. BFN 😔. I stupidly tested only about 30 mins after I just pee’d and I had also just drank a pint of milk. Do you think there is still any hope?? Or would it be BFP now regardless if I were preg? I tested with one of those clear blue rapid response tests..

Hi ladies, joining the party as we wait for the BFP.

DPO12 / CD33, AF due Sunday I think!!

Been cramping on and off since DPO5, which happened back in April when I was pregnant before miscarrying in June.

I have also noticed some increased CM last weekend, and it's changed a little this week with wetter and drier days.

I do feel like AF is coming and my body is just tricking me into feeling I could have a positive outcome!

Baby dust to all!!

Hiya, hoping to join you all as this seems the right place for me. First month TTC my 2nd, DD is 7. Noted when AF arrived in July and again in August, 28 days exactly. Have been off the pill for a few months but never noted dates however I’m sure my cycle was longer than that the last few months and definitely longer before I started on the pill. Did a basic calculation (no basal temps or opks) of when I’d be ovulating and dtd. It’s now 18 days past my guesstimate of ovulation, 3 days late (based on 28 day cycle) and got a negative clear blue digital earlier. Gutted to say the least and I know I have no right to be as it’s first month trying but can’t help it... hence why I’m still awake at 2.30am! Think I’m particularly gutted as had some signs and got my hopes up. Boobs are bigger, TIRED is an understatement, overly emotional, twinges, lower back ache and I can smell everything.
Wishing everyone in here luck and really hoping I got a false negative as maybe i was a bit early testing or the error symbol flashing at the same time as the timer meant a faulty test (wishful thinking I know but it’s not a definite no until AF arrives right?!)

@Gem176 I’m in a really similar situation except I used OPKs and had a positive on the 1st! So expect I ovulated on 2nd or 3rd. Still no sign of AF , but BFN yesterday 😢. I’m actually a bit confused as I am normally so regular. The only thing I’m telling myself is that I didn’t test with FMU and I drank a lot of fluid just before taking the test. But at thIs stage I feel like it should be positive if I were , regardless 9of those factors right? I’m going to try to avoid testing again and wait for AF as I hate seeing that negative result. 😢
Are you planning on testing again? 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻For you xx

Hi everyone!

I hope you don't mind me joining, I am 6 dpo (positive OPK and BBT confirmed ovulation on the 13th), 1st cycle TTC. My husband has DE (delayed ejaculation) so we are using the "turkey baster" method. Though, no turkeys were harmed, we used sterile syringes! I am 34 in November, I was diagnosed with PCOS during a scan 9 years ago but never experienced any severe symptoms. I have since lost 5 stone and my periods have become very regular at 27/28 days.

Congratulations to all the BFP this month and keeping everything crossed for everyone else!

@Bizawit AF arrived this morning 😭 so no need to retest for me this month but like you I hate seeing that negative so probably wouldn’t have retested unless I got to CD56 with no sign of AF.
I’ve ordered OPKs and a heap of the cheap HPTs. Googled SMEP and going to give that a try for the next few months and hope that I’m lucky! At 22 I got pregnant despite being on the pill but at 30 I’m thinking actively trying with no contraception isn’t going to be anywhere near as easy 🙄 another joy of ageing!!
Everything crossed that yours was a false negative and a FMU in a few days will give you that BFP xx
