Anyone else in the dreaded tww?
I'm currently 2DPO. Would be nice to chat to others in the same waiting game to keep us sane!

@mommyofone2019 thank you! How many dpo are you now?

mommyofone2019 · 18/11/2020 15:09

@Boredinthehouse12 I'm 9DPO today. Couldn't resist the urge to test using a frer anymore so did this afternoon and was a bfn!

Does anyone know when a chemical pregnancy (hate that term but don't know how else to phrase it) is no longer an option? Is is a few days after AF is due or a week?

Boredinthehouse12 · 18/11/2020 15:50

@mommyofone2019 you’re definitely not out yet. I tested on 9 and 10 dpo but got -a bfn. As I previously said I tested again this afternoon at 13dpo and just got my BFP. FYI I tested with FRER on days 9 and 10 too! There’s still a chance!

madeinthe80z · 18/11/2020 15:56

@zeerecords I'm not too sure. I think I had what you would call a chemical the month before I conceived my daughter. Basically, I tested early and got a faint positive. The lines on the tests didn't get darker over the next week and then 9-10 days later, I started bleeding, which was essentially AF but a week late and more painful. Not sure what that was classed as though really. Lack of line progression seems to be the common theme with 'chemicals'
Not a nice term really.

Highfalutinlootin · 18/11/2020 16:54

@DJmum83 So sorry. :( But at least the new cycle comes on very quickly after AF.

@Boredinthehouse12 Congrats!! Keep us updated on the line.

I tested again today at 8 DPO. BFN. Been having all sorts of twinges and cramps but like all of you somehow I can’t tell if it’s just my period coming on or not.

KitQ · 18/11/2020 17:08

@Boredinthehouse12 Congrats! How many days before AF are you to get your BFN?

KitQ · 18/11/2020 17:09

I mean BFP sorry @Boredinthehouse12

Boredinthehouse12 · 18/11/2020 18:23

@KitQ AF is due on Saturday, so 3 days. I didn’t test between 10dpo and 13dpo because I didn't have any symptoms. I’ve got everything crossed hoping this one sticks

mommyofone2019 · 18/11/2020 18:47

@Boredinthehouse12 that's kind of given me a bit of hope. I'm exactly the same. Zero symptoms. Just the odd pain and I wouldn't even say cramps, more like a weird belly ache 🤷🏻‍♀️ I'm not going to bother testing tomorrow now. I'll hold out until Friday fmu

OP posts:
KitQ · 18/11/2020 19:21

I’ve caved and ordered some early pregnancy tests. Arriving tomorrow but gonna hold out as long as I can before testing (let’s see how long that lasts once they’re here..)

mommyofone2019 · 18/11/2020 19:49

@KitQ good luck 💪🏻 I caved and tested using a frer today and instantly regretted wasted one 😞

OP posts:
Highfalutinlootin · 18/11/2020 21:01

I keep testing because I think I'm having symptoms, but if it doesn't work out this month I think I'll know better next month and be much more judicious with the tests. Just hard to know what's a symptom!

Emmie12345 · 18/11/2020 22:20

Just got my period ((

Feel really sad (

Good luck all ! Xx

mommyofone2019 · 18/11/2020 22:31

Oh no. So sorry to hear @Emmie12345 🥺 is it definitely af?

OP posts:
Emmie12345 · 19/11/2020 07:24

Thanks @mommyofone2019 yeah 100% AF (

I thought the time I ovulated was when dp and I were apart this month as I was mega frisky . Just missed the boat(

Feel so sad cos at my age I literally have so few eggs left I rhink ! Xxx

mommyofone2019 · 19/11/2020 07:27

Morning ladies.
10DPO for me today. Tested using fmu this morning using an internet cheapie (I was good and didn't use a frer 💪🏻) and a bfn .... not surprised!! Did the standard procedure of holding at at every angle, under every light. Got the torch on my phone on it. And I think it gave me live eyes as I was starting to believe there may be something there 🥺

OP posts:
KitQ · 19/11/2020 08:04

So sorry to hear @Emmie12345

Got my flu jab today and I said to my husband ‘I’m nervous but also nervous cause I just want to test!’ And he said ‘patience.’ Yes thank you, didn’t realise I needed to be patient! They just don’t feel the way we do haha

Emmie12345 · 19/11/2020 08:05

Good luck all !

Just can’t see how I’m gonna conceive when I don’t ovulate sane time every month and dp works away argh

Patience yes )

madeinthe80z · 19/11/2020 09:10

I wish I had their patience!!

Where is my amazon man?! I havent tested in almost 48 hours 🤣

Jessandra · 19/11/2020 09:30

Amazon always show up at the least convenient time 😂

I’m hugely dizzy & nauseous today 🤢 So if AF does show up on Sunday then I’ll go to the doctors next week because this definitely isn’t normal! And I’m too nervous to test in the meantime 🙈

mommyofone2019 · 19/11/2020 09:44

So I thought I could see a shadow but the more I look at it, I think I just made it up and 100% had line eyes 😂
what does this tww do to us!!!!

The dreaded TWW!
OP posts:
madeinthe80z · 19/11/2020 09:53

Line eyes are the worst! Do you find yourself staring and blinking?! I can't bring myself to throw them out for hours either- got to keep checking 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️

mommyofone2019 · 19/11/2020 10:18

@madeinthe80z haha yes. All that. Looking from every angle, under every light possible!!
I 100% think I'm out this month. Convinced there would be something by now if there was going to be.
