3 days into the TWW and already struggling!!

[ChloM1234]

I'm a few days into the two week wait and hoped there was a few others in the same boat so we could help each other get through the next couple of weeks! AF due on the 29th of Jan, anyone in a similar place??

@Sesamechick did you get the frers today are you gonna test with them or you waiting till Wednesday?
Tested this morning with cb early... Bfp 😊 11dpo today is

@LauEli
WHAAAAHOOOOOOOOOOO so so so happy for you!! Yay!!! You must be thrilled.
Wishing you a healthy and easy pregnancy !
I did the FRER today but going to wait. Im going to feel like an absolute idiot if i get AF but really havent been feeling too well!
Going to do cheapie tomorrow and might save FRER for mon/tue? No idea! X

[quote Emmgrem]@Sesamechick I think I'll see what my temp does in the morning. I've got back pain today which I didn't get last cycle pre AF, but if my temp plummets I'll take it as an AF sign 🤷🏻‍♀️
If it stays high maybe I'll be tempted to use a FRER but not consider myself totally out if it's bfn.

Yes this will be my first. What about you?[/quote]
@Emmgrem

Oooo its so exciting but frustrating the TWW!
I have crazy symptoms but I keep teying to convince myself that its AF bc I get really down when I get a BFN. Ive had horrendous back pain, pressure in my tummy, feels achy rather than painful. Who knows!?
AF due Wed 27th so I'll do a cheap test tomorrow morning. Ive never tracked my temp or ovulation dates. Jan was the first month of doing so.
This hopefully will be #4 for us xxx

@Sesamechick thank you so much 😊 I'm over the moon, although I'm rubbish and impatient, I renovated a whole house last time I was pregnant so it made time go so quickly this time will go so slow, especially because we've found out early on.
The best of luck to you when you do decide to test!
@Emmgrem have you tested?

@Sesamechick wow #4 and you've never tracked it before? You must be so in tune with your body and very fertile! Amazing 😊 everything crossed for tomorrow! Keep us updated. I think you'd be more likely to see it on a FRER and get a false negative on a cheapie as they aren't as sensitive but I get that you don't want to waste a test!

@LauEli Congratulations! How dark was your line at 11DPO and which test did you use?
I think I'll test in the morning if temp stays up- back pain is bad enough to need a hot water bottle now so it's either BFP or AF is coming a little sooner than planned I'd say

@Emmgrem
Nope never tracked before. Was on BC when I got married, after 2 months we decided to try and fell pregnant right away. Same with #2, happened 1st month.
For #3 (big gap between #2 & #3...9years!) I was actually on BC for years, was visiting my family in USA, husband and I had a whole chat over the phone (he wasn't able to come with us to USA) and we decided I would stop taking BC while in USA and try for a baby when i returned. Stopped bc, got my period right away and then fell pregnant the day I returned to UK (august. She is a May baby)
Its bit different now as I'm older, more ahem, weight but who knows. I went off BC August but never tracked bc we just DTD whenever as Husband was away for work etc. I finally decided now to track Jan and see..... fingers crossed.
Sorry for the boring story!!
Its very tempting to use FRER tomorrow but I wont till at least Mon/Tue. Will keep teying cheap ones while i have them haha xxx

Really praying for all of our BFP! x

@Emmgrem it was faint to start but 100% there, checked it after work and it was as bright as it could possibly be. Gonna use my last test on Wednesday then not test again. I used the clear blue early detection, pricey but just what was available in tesco. Good luck with your testing 😊 let's hope the odds are in everyone's favour!

Got BFP today, period is due tomorrow and I had no symptoms so tested! We had an early miscarriage in November so finding it hard to be excited for now... this was our first month TTC following this, feeling very blessed and hoping this is our rainbow after the storm x x

@TTCBaby1
Congrats!!!!!! So happy for you🌈🌈

@TTCBaby1 congratulations 😁

Got a squinter this morning at 10DPO girls. Can you see anything?

I won't believe it until I see a digital but it's too early. I think I'll test tomorrow and Tuesday with FRERs again and see if it gets darker. My temps are still above 37 too

I see it! Congrats x

@Emmgrem
I see it!! So exciting. Congrats!!! 💗💙

@Emmgrem I see it.. Woo!! Congrats 😊

Omg you guys, the more people I hear say it the more I believe it 🙈 I'm still not convinced until I see it on a digital but thank you all!

@Emmgrem ((hugs))

So I tested again this morning 11DPO and it hasn't got any darker, it's not even as good as in that pic I sent on here yesterday. Still barely visible unless you squint and shine a light! Very frustrating.. but I know hcg is meant double every 48 hours and also some people say they get better results with afternoon testing 🤷🏻‍♀️ so tempted to try that!

Hi @Emmgrem, did you use a FRER test this morning? When is your AF due? Mine's due on Friday I'm. Really tempted to take an early test today but not sure if I'm best just to wait!

@ChloM1234 yep a FRER 🤔 so disappointing and confusing. Some people say they work better in the evenings so I may have to try again and then stop wasting my money after that!

Based on my experience now I would hold off until 12dpo if you can! It drives you mad with line eyes any earlier than that..

The line is back again today (12dpo) but no darker than the 10DPO line! What is going on?! 😩 Surely it should be darker by now...

@Emmgrem I would say that line is slightly darker than the one in the last pictures you posted..how many days until AF?
I stupidly caved and used a FRER test yesterday afternoon which was a clear negative and only 4 days till AF so I guess I am out this month

How is everyone?

I was hoping to test tomorrow at 12 DPO but have had clear/creamy discharge today so think I'm out this month and AF will appear over the weekend 😢

Fingers crossed for everyone testing 🤞

@ChloM1234 @Emmgrem how's things going?

@Sparkles512 I'd still test, your not out till she gets here!
