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!

@madeinthe80z it definitely doesn't I actually think this one has been the hardest.
I caved and done a frer not with fmu and I'm only 8/9 dpo I think it's negative but then I keep thinking do I see a shadow.
Will post picture. Pretty sure it's negative though. And too early for treating anyways xx

My AF is due 24th so will try to hold out until then. Does anyone else struggle to pee, no matter how long you hold off for when it’s time to do the test? 🙈

@mommyofone2019 this is the frer and the strip test.. I'm pretty sure there is a line on both but less so on the strip one.

@jennaxc deffo looks like a faint line 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻

mommyofone2019 · 13/11/2020 15:18

@DJmum83 it's hard to see on those photos because of the reflection!

@jennaxc I definitely see a line on both! I would say that's your bfp - CONGRATULATIONS ❤️

@jennaxc, definitely a pink line there👍👍🤞🤞🤞

mommyofone2019 · 13/11/2020 15:30

@jennaxc did you do anything differently this month? What days did you dtd?

madeinthe80z · 13/11/2020 15:35

@jennaxxc defo a line there! 😁

jennaxc · 13/11/2020 15:45

Thanks so much everyone.

I'm going to wait a couple of days and do another digi to make sure. Going to try and keep it to myself (and all of you) before telling my bf, I really only want to tell him if I'm sure.

@mommyofone2019 I recently started taking the vitamins recommend by Luisa zizzman which i know sounds so silly, they have such good reviews though and lots of people on here tak about them. It's Folic acid, 600mg of coq10 and vital DHA. She has a highlight on her Instagram to a blog she's wrote.

My bf has cfs so don't get to dtd as much as we would like so I started monitoring ovulation this cycle to give us the best chance. We dtd on ovulation day, the two days before that and one the day after ovulation just to be sure.

Fingers crossed it's worked 🤞🏼

zeerecords · 13/11/2020 16:51

@jennaxc it looks like a line to me!

mommyofone2019 · 13/11/2020 17:30

4DPO today and it's making me want to pee on a stick 😂😂

madeinthe80z · 13/11/2020 18:16

Tell me about it @mommyofone2019
I am max 6dpo or min 3dpo and I only have one stick to pee on!!
Are we gonna last till Thursday?!

Highfalutinlootin · 13/11/2020 18:33

@mommyofone2019 First baby for me. Hope you get your positive for your second this cycle! I'm planning to test Wednesday on 8 DPO. But who am I kidding, I'll probably test Monday.Grin

@jennaxc I think I do see a faint line! We're all crazy!

Highfalutinlootin · 13/11/2020 18:35

When you ladies got pregnant with your last, do you remember what days you DTD? Everything I've read days that O-2 and O-1 are the most fertile, surprisingly not O itself! Then there's also conflicting advice with some saying only do every other day and others saying every day around ovulation. Unsure which works.

PurpleIsTheColour · 13/11/2020 19:36

@Highfalutinlootin, I got my bfp with dtd on day before ovulation. I think that there is quite a big risk if you dtd on day of O because some eggs only live 12h and sperm can take a while to reach the egg, so depending on what time of the day you dtd it can be too late for the egg and sperm to meet.
Every other day apparently is better as it gives enough time for sperm to replenish, which from what I’ve read takes ~48h. If you do the two days before O you should in theory be fine, and any other days of dtd are a bonus.

Jessandra · 13/11/2020 20:34

@Purpleflowers21 I’ve never POAS before but if I have to give a sample for the doctor I really struggle 🙈 I have a feeling I’ll struggle to POAS too 😬

madeinthe80z · 13/11/2020 20:54

@jessandra I get the same. My trick is to pee into a container and then dip the test into it! Works a treat 😀

madeinthe80z · 13/11/2020 20:57

I think we just DTD every day around ovulation! It covers all bases that way! I knew exactly when I ovulated though as when TTC, I checked temp, CM and did OPKs so I think that meant we did about 4 days in a row

mommyofone2019 · 13/11/2020 21:03

@madeinthe80z snap this is exactly what I do haha

Wow I love that chart! I had not looked into the detailed phases before implantation. It's exciting to know the cells are already dividing. That makes the baby/fetus seem more real somehow.

madeinthe80z · 14/11/2020 02:35

@DJmum83, not sure if there's a squinter there, are you testing again today? 😬

DJmum83 · 14/11/2020 08:07

@madeinthe80z I don't think there is.
I'm going to wait until tomorrow and then I will be 10 dpo. But I think I'm out this month,
Xx
