It’s our first month of vaguely trying so I’m not convinced that it will obviously happen but despite that it’s dragging so much !
AF due 13 th !!

@LetsD0ThisThing oh no big hugs for you. We have a WhatsApp group for those who are still trying. Let me know if you want adding. We are all here to support each other ❤️

@LetsD0ThisThing @Pumpertrumper I’ve just done my FRER this morning and the line is paler than yesterday too🙁 I’m not sure what to do, whether to just wait it out to test again tomorrow morning or to test again this afternoon.

Pumpertrumper · 16/09/2020 11:38

@Amy259

So sorry, it’s horrible isn’t it?

I feel very deflated this morning as had gotten a bit too excited at the prospect. I’m lucky enough to have DS (6 months) though

Amy259 · 16/09/2020 11:46

@Pumpertrumper mine, 24hrs apart. Top was yesterday.

It’s awful, I can’t stop googling. What’s your plan? Re-test again tomorrow? I might wait a couple of days...

Bethy1995 · 16/09/2020 12:37

@Amy259 I would test again this afternoon, as you said the line was stronger for you in the afternoon

I managed to get hold of 4frer so I'm currently waiting for my afternoon pee

Amy259 · 16/09/2020 12:49

@Bethy1995 I’ve just gone back and looked and today’s has gotten a bit darker, there’s not much difference now, so I’m thinking they must darken as they dry? Yesterday’s is darker today than the photos I took of it yest. Who knows! I’m trying to chill out until there’s reason to worry (af arriving!).

Let us know how you get on with your frer.

Pumpertrumper · 16/09/2020 13:49

@Amy259

Tbh if I was getting yours I’d be taking them as positive. Mine with DS were very similar. They’re not squinters at all on that pic ^ I agree with @Bethy1995 though and would test again this afternoon.
For contrast this was my 14/15 dpo with DS

I’d be tempted to get yourself a digital CB one at this point and see what that says. That’s what I did after I took this one with DS

Amy259 · 16/09/2020 13:55

@Pumpertrumper thanks for the reassurance ♥️

I bought the cb early detection pack of 3 on Monday and one of the line ones was a squinter then the digi said not pregnant. So I’m a bit scared to do another because I think seeing not pregnant again would really worry me!

Bethy1995 · 16/09/2020 14:01

Ladies I missed the stick 😭😭 I've now got to wait again. How does that even happen.

@Amy259 keeping fingers and toes crossed for you let us know how you get on

Pumpertrumper · 16/09/2020 14:09

@Amy259

With DS I remember doing the CB digital on the Sunday and it saying negative, deciding it was over for me as I was already 12dpo then retested on the Tuesday evening as felt SOOO unwell and it read positive!

When they later did my dates the Tuesday was my week marker, so I got the positive pretty much exactly 14dpo

I know they are expensive but with your results I’d buy a pack of two and take one today then one in 48 hours if it’s a no. (Obviously if that’s within budget) x

Pumpertrumper · 16/09/2020 14:10

@Bethy1995

Use the cap/top from a bottle or toiletry item. Or a clean/dry little pot, I find that MUCH easier and more reliable. I just rinse it out in the bath and keep next to the loo xx

Amy259 · 16/09/2020 14:13

@Pumpertrumper thank you for all of this advice - you’ve brought me down from my faint line hype.

I had a 2 day lh peak this month so I’m either 12 or 13dpo today but have an 11 day LP so I’m late. Feel crampy but different to af I think, and lots of cm (sorry tmi) which is very unusual for me but keeps making me think it’s af. Think I’ll do as you say, one cb digi this afternoon then one on Friday if still no af.

Pumpertrumper · 16/09/2020 14:32

@Amy259

Not sure if this is your first but if so, it honestly feels like it’s never going to be real until it suddenly is so don’t lose hope until AF, or at least till AF is well overdue and tests are clearly negative.

I’m gonna offer my tentative congratulations Flowers please keep me updated xx

Amy259 · 16/09/2020 14:36

@Pumpertrumper it is indeed, second cycle trying. We got married 2 weeks ago so if this sticks it’ll be a wedding baby, just in time for my 30th next Friday 😂

Thank you - I will do. What’s your testing plan?

Pumpertrumper · 16/09/2020 14:53

@Amy259

DS was a honeymoon baby too!! Although we found out when we were back home. Congrats on your wedding!

I’ll probably wait till the weekend and test again if AF hasn’t arrived. It’s hard to rely on it though as I’m still breast feeding DS!

LynzP85 · 16/09/2020 15:19

Today is Day31 of my cycle and DPO10, I caved at lunch and did a FRER and got a negative, no line at all.

According to the app my period is due Sunday, when I was pregnant in April, I got a positive at DPO11. So I feel like I'm comparing and shouldn't!

I've had cramping on and off but now I wonder if I'm imaging things!

Amy259 · 16/09/2020 15:52

@Pumpertrumper did a digi, neg again. Dipped my last cheapie in the same pee and it’s really faint, pretty much the exact same as Monday afternoon. Who knows. I’m just going to sit tight until Friday.

@LynzP85 that must be so tough not to compare. Still so early though so 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻

Bethy1995 · 16/09/2020 17:56

Well I got my answer 😩 no more tests for me now

Anyone on 2ww going crazy 😂
Amy259 · 16/09/2020 18:26

@Bethy1995 ahhh sorry to see that. How many DPO are you? When is af due?

Helenh19 · 16/09/2020 18:39

Hi can I join? I had my implant removed last month TTC first time. Currently 8DPO and Lamar night I had watery pink discharge and a mild cramp. No sign of anything today. Wondering when I should do a test...

Unicornsparklez · 16/09/2020 19:05

Joining because I'm on my TWW and definitelyyyy going crazy! 🤪

This month I switched to clear blue digital this month for the first time after 16 months of trying with the cheap OPK strips and with my CB I got blank circle on the first day of use (CD11) then flashing smiley (CD 12,13 and 14) then a static smiley CD15 when all my apps I was using along side the strips were predicting ovulation around CD20...have a tiny glimmer of hope that I've been missing ovulation all this time.. we have busy work schedules and do try to plan DTD around fertile week which doesn't help if I've been getting it wrong.

I'm now CD 26.. my cycles have been irregular since I stopped BC in May last year. Shortest cycle I've had is 30 days and longest is 54 days but I average around 32/33 CD.Yesterday I had pink/red tinge on tissue when wiping one time and nothing since. That would have been around 8/9dpo as an estimate if the CB was right. Also had mild cramps since Sunday (6/7dpo) & sore boobs but I can get that from about a week before AF anyway. Going to wait til Sunday if I can to test if I don't keel over before then 😂 wishing you all luck on your journey🤞🏼✨

Trying4one · 16/09/2020 19:17

@Unicornsparklez I was recommended by a doctor to BD 2 to three times a week for the week leading up to ovulation rather then waiting for the tests to say I was ovulating. Do you get any signs from your body when you are ovulating? I feel for you as the wait to test is hard. I thought I was getting implementation bleeding last week until my AF arrived a day early 😭 the longer you wait the more chance you will see something on the test if you are pregnant but excitement always gets the better of me 🤣
@Helenh19 when is your AF due?

Unicornsparklez · 16/09/2020 19:23

@Trying4one we usually DTD every other day around the FW but it would have been too late I think if we were miscalculating. We shall see what happens this month with it being a few days earlier. Going to try and hold off til Sunday now. If bfn or af (whichever comes first) then gonna get a thermometer and start temping along side the CB sticks I think and try that. TTC is way more complicated than they make it out to be haha & the waiting is unbearable I just can't distract myself! 😆

Trying4one · 16/09/2020 19:28

@Unicornsparklez how long have you been trying for? It really is. I am avoiding doing my temperature at the moment as I want to try and be chilled about it. If I am not pregnant by Christmas then I may change my mind 🤣

Unicornsparklez · 16/09/2020 20:48

@Trying4one it's been 16 months now. Had some tests done bloods ultrasounds etc and all okay for me so far & then OH had sample analysis. He had borderline low morphology so just been trying anything we can to up his % to see if that helps us. I haven't tried temping yet so thought it might help pinpoint ovulation 🧐😀
