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!

So my last cycle was 32 days, this cycle was 26 days! What the hell is going on 🤷🏻‍♀️
The one before the 32 days was 35 days. Just all over the place atm.

@mommyofone2019 perhaps knock the pregnancy vitamins on the head for a few cycles and see whether that helps? You could continue to take Folic Acid as recommended? xx

madeinthe80z · 21/11/2020 12:02

Erm, so my boobs decided to leak breast milk this morning!!! Am I so broody my boobs are leaking now?! I stopped breastfeeding almost 4 months ago and never had a leak between then and now!

@mommyofone2019 sorry about AF, so annoying 😒 were you taking any contraceptives before you started TTC?

mommyofone2019 · 21/11/2020 12:17

@madeinthe80z no I haven't been on the pill since I stopped to ttc my daughter. After she was born we used condoms as I didn't want to go back on it.
I've ordered some just folic acid tablets as I think the pregnacare are messing up my cycles 🥺
Must try harder next month 😞

Re breastfeeding. My daughters 15 months old and still has the boob. When she wakes, before her nap (once a day) and before bed. Then if she wakes in the night. Do you think this could have an effect on conceiving? How did you stop?

madeinthe80z · 21/11/2020 12:25

I stopped very gradually over a couple of months. Once she started nursery full time, she lost interest in all but the feed when she got home and we stopped that just after 12 months.
Breastfeeding could have an impact on your cycles, have you noticed your ovulation day changing? Plenty of people have conceived very easily whilst BF though! 2 of my friends unexpectedly! X

madeinthe80z · 21/11/2020 12:34

@Twinkle1989 you must be so excited 😀😀 is this your first?

Do you mind me asking when you tested and your results leading up to your BFP? Your FRER is very strong but I remember you mentioning you tested BFN earlier this week.

Twinkle1989 · 21/11/2020 12:51

@madeinthe80z I tested last night whilst I was running a bath and cleaning the bathroom 😳

I tested the previous day on a cheapie just hoping.

I tested with FR probably last weekend too and then I've done several cheapies in between.

I honestly didn't expect to be pregnant as I haven't had any key symptoms such as sore boobs. I was around somebody smoking yesterday and it nearly made me sick, I felt hot, sweaty and dizzy so really didn't think I had got a bug

I don't know whether to keep testing or what?! DP is worried in case it's a false positive(s) and doesn't want me to break my heart! 😭

madeinthe80z · 21/11/2020 13:04

@Twinkle1989 which cheapies were you using? Were they the 10mlu strength ones? (Clutching at straws that my bfn could turn into bfp before AF due on Monday 😂😂)

You have such a strong line on your FRER that I would have said you would have seen a faint positive on one earlier in the week. Some people continue to test until they are happy that the line is getting darker but honestly I wouldn't stress over it, just try and relax and look after yourself 🙂 it is most definitely not a false positive.

Forums such as this are a massive support but they also open your eyes to the world of what can go wrong, which I believe leads to increased anxiety. I had to delete this app when I was about 8 weeks pregnant because I was getting too stressed out! I read once 'you are pregnant today, thats all you need to think about right now' x

madeinthe80z · 21/11/2020 13:15

I tested 3 times yesterday🙈🙊 😂 I've finally given up now, can pretty much tell AF is round the corner. Haven't even been tempted today!

Twinkle1989 · 21/11/2020 15:29

@madeinthe80z ❤️

Femometer cheapies - I've got some 10 ones arriving later - Baby Plan ones.

DP has made me do more tests today 😂 FR is darker I think and now the cheapies are showing - AF due today / tomorrow

The dreaded TWW!
madeinthe80z · 21/11/2020 15:39

Looking good!!
The babyplan ones are the ones I have been using this week..Will be interested to see what a positive looks like on them 🤣

Highfalutinlootin · 21/11/2020 23:39

@Twinkle1989 what DPO were you when you first tested positive? Can't quite work it out from your posts. Congrats again!

Highfalutinlootin · 21/11/2020 23:41

Well 11 DPO for me and another BFN. I've been using only FRERs so I've pretty much given up hope this cycle and am waiting for AF. This is only my first cycle trying so I can't believe women go through this month after month! So hard.

Twinkle1989 · 22/11/2020 06:37

@Highfalutinlootin sorry - I'm probably rambling

So Clear Blue app said I was 11DPO (with OPK)
My other fertility app said I was 9 days DPO (without OPK) so let's assume 11DPO

I was 12DPO yesterday and got a much stronger FR test and the cheapies were clearly positive too.

AF is due today and literally no sign - thank god! I'm hoping this is a sign that it isn't chemical but I know I'll have to wait a few weeks to be sure.

I tested with FR and cheapies earlier in the week and all negative until Friday at 11DPO and it was strong (that was an evening wee too!) xx

KitQ · 22/11/2020 07:29

Tested again this morning and could see the faintest of lines. It definitely looked different to yesterday’s BFN and husband agreed. But now I think I’m probably going mad and I can’t see it. Will have to wait and try again tomorrow.

Twinkle1989 · 22/11/2020 08:08

@KitQ keeping everything crossed for you!! What tests are you using? xx

KitQ · 22/11/2020 09:12

@Twinkle1989 thank you! The pink FRERs. At most I’m 11dpo (don’t know for sure) so still early. AF due Thursday. I was so sure I could see something but now I can’t :/

madeinthe80z · 22/11/2020 13:12

How's everyone doing today? I'm lay on the couch feeling sorry for myself as AF feels like it's just hours away 👎🙄

Sounds promising @KitQ 🤞🤞

Highfalutinlootin · 22/11/2020 15:26

@madeinthe80z About the same. Got another BFN here at 12 DPO and now my BBT has started dropping so AF imminent. Plotting tomorrow's alcohol!

KitQ · 22/11/2020 15:43

@madeinthe80z do you think so?

I have been bloated and constipated since Tuesday but also today I feel insatiable which is something I feel just before AF due. No idea what’s going on with me it’s so confusing.

KitQ · 22/11/2020 15:52

Also I keep crying at NOTHING. I cried at I’m a celeb when Gi had that snake round her head. I said ‘oh her boys will think that’s so cool.’ And then I burst into tears. Something wrong with me I swear.

madeinthe80z · 22/11/2020 18:04

@highfalutinlootin I drank last night! 🙊 you're very good 😂

@KitQ hopefully its less of a squinted when you test tomorrow 🤞🤞

@Twinkle1989 how did you get on with the babyplan tests?!

Twinkle1989 · 22/11/2020 18:39

@madeinthe80z Bloody amazon haven't delivered them yet! But I tried other cheapies (I had various) and they're all positive now ❤️
As soon as they arrive, I'll do one and post ❤️❤️

The dreaded TWW!
madeinthe80z · 23/11/2020 05:33

Haha @Twinkle1989 our Amazon guy took 2 trips to and from his car today 🙊 (not pregnancy tests might I add!!)
Lines are looking really good, yey! 🥳🥳

madeinthe80z · 23/11/2020 08:25

Urgh, still no AF. Its usually here by now. Took a clearblue test. BFN. So mad at myself for wasting £8.50 on it 😡😡 Period pains this whole weekend have been really bad. Ont usually suffer this badly. Let's just get it over with now 😤
