Another TWW thread!

Anyone want to join me in being thoroughly distracted for the next 2 weeks?!

I am on CD19. I have a 28 day cycle and no idea when I ovulated but had EWCM really early this cycle (CD11-14).
AF due on the 13th.

We have been taking the 'relaxed approach' for the past 3-4 months. If it doesn't happen this month, going to take a break next cycle to avoid a Christmas baby (anyone else thinking of this?!) and then get properly tracking with OPKs, maybe temping etc.

That's true, I'm hopeful yet cautious

@melissa112 yes me too! Can't believe we're having the same feelings lol

Of course I will! I'm trying not to get my hopes up as it hurts more.

11dpo and still bfn 😭 Worried I'm out! AF usually due in 3 to 6 days.
DH thinks I'm out this month too, swear he's like a hormone sensor, can pinpoint to the hour of my peak!

Renovations starting Tuesday, all DIY by yours truly! Too worried to let traders in the house due to covid. But it'll keep me busy from dawn till dusk on my days off!

CD23 atm...
Came off pill in December had a 25 day cycle then a 22 so no idea when AF is due and driving myself mad

@melissa112 that line looks very promising!! 😬😬🙂

@melissa112 that's definitely a line! Ahhhh keep us updated!! If it's definitely BFP then please share your tips of what you did for the month!

12dpo and another BFN. Been up all night with awful cramps, looks like AF is going to be early this month so might look into vitamins that can regulate my cycles. Anyone tried any? I've heard Conceive Plus Ovulation Support has been good, but I don't want to waste the money on more tablets unless it's a guarantee!

Today I feel like AF is literally around the corner, which would be 4 days early but makes sense because I think I ovulated early this month based on CM.

@melissa112 how are you getting on??

How is everyone else today?

@madeinthe80z I hope that’s not the case for you!

I’m 11dpo today and still bfn on a ic this morning, I’ve got into habit of testing everyday now when I wake up 🙈 the last few days I’ve been so hungry, which was a symptom I had last time, although ended in mc. I am a generally hungry person though so could just be that

Hi everyone

@madeinthe80z hi. I'm well thanks. 8dpo today. Did an IC and it was negative although my eyes were playing tricks on me and I thought I could see a shadow 🙊

My premon app says my af is due on Monday (15th) and another one says 18th. Don't know which one to go with? Any help?

BFN on an IC for me this morning too. Its usually about this point I decide to buy FRERs and waste a load of money on them in the hope of a line but I'm just gonna sit this one out. I really feel AF is close so not going to waste my money this month!

@Mysleepingangel do you usually have irregular cycles?? I'm quite lucky as I tend to have 28 day cycles so always expect AF arrival every 4th Saturday! This did change from a Tuesday back in November though when I randomly had a 25 day cycle! I feel like that could be happening this month!

Apparently your luteal phase is always the same number of days so you could work out from your last cycles how many days that is and count forwards from ovulation to estimate when your AF is due.

@Bellesjp I'm testing every day too, its silly really, wish I had more patience. Thank goodness for ICs!!

@Bellesjp I did think feeling more hungry was an early sign. Testing here everyday too, why do we do this to ourselves!

@Mysleepingangel 8dpo is still very early, have you tested again since? If you normally have AF the same number of days after ovulation then id just add the number of days on and see which day is closer. Mine used to be 28 every single month but now vary so I try to go by my luteal phase.

@Kayleaaa really sorry about your negative and hope AF doesn't show up early! I haven't tried any of those supplements sorry so im not sure but I've also heard Conceive Plus is supposed to be good and something called Preseed but not sure what that is? I just see it mentioned a lot!

@madeinthe80z is your AF due this Saturday? Sorry to read about the BFNs 😔 are you going to test again using an IC or wait and see now?

Update from me. Im feeling a bit gutted today. Definitely a line progression from 9dpo afternoon to 10dpo morning but this morning at 11dpo i dont think I saw any change. I had a little cry while waiting for the line to pop up. Id expect it to be at least darker than yesterday's and so im worried its a chemical. DP is trying to stay positive but that actually was bothering me more (bless him) because I see no hope now for this month. Will test again tomorrow but then if its the same im going to wait for AF. Feeling very sad this morning and asked him to pick me up a maccies breakfast on his way home from dropping DS off at nursery. We're both off today and it's DS birthday on Thursday so we're going to focus on the wrapping and getting the cake sorted etc.

Hi everyone, can I join? I'm 8dpo, with one app saying af due on Friday, the other saying Tuesday think I will test Friday if I can control myself.

Sorry your not getting the line progression you were hoping for @melissa112 is it worth leaving it a few days before testing again?

I tested again and bfn still 🙈 I’m 12dpo now so thought might have shown by now if I was! Only using ics though which I think are 25miu

@melissa112 try not to panic, I heard that your levels double every 2 days so might be darker tomorrow 🤞🏼

@madeinthe80z and @melissa112 my cycles are regular but I've not been doing the opks for long. This cycle seems to have a longer LP.

I've not tested today and don't think I will until I miss my af next Thursday. I'm getting too obsessive 🙊

@Melissa112 what tests are you using?

And yep, it only doubles every 48 hours apparently so try not to worry too much yet. Really hope this turns out good for you xx

I have had a strange couple of hours.

No idea what possessed me but I decided to take a test (IC) about 11.15am with the most dilute wee ever and I could swear there was a shadow of something there. I then needed to pee again about 10 mins later (poor bladder!) So I did another and there was more of a definite line there!

So I drove quick to Boots for the good old FRERs and BFN! So annoyed I have wasted a tenner on FRERs when I said I wouldn't 🤦‍♀️

Wish I could post pics but I am having issues with posting picture that MN is currently investigating. I may email and ask them to attach for me!

If this turns out to be negative again, I am definitely binning these one step tests, I had a line last month on just one though and the rest were blank. Argh.

Hi @TheWhalesOnTheBus that's some good willpower to hold off til Friday. Wishing you loads of luck for testing x

@Bellesjp I think 25miu is still quite high for so early so maybe give it a day or two? When is AF due? X

@Mysleepingangel is AF due this Thursday or next week? Yeh I know what you mean about being obsessive. It's so hard not to be isnt it x

@madeinthe80z sorry about the BFN on the FR. I wouldn't have said that 2 lines on two IC would be wrong but that's a real shame if they are throwing out dodgy results. Will keep my fingers crossed for you and hope you can post the pic x

After my wobble this morning I tested this afternoon out of sheer madness. Anyway I think it looks more promising?

Top is 9dpo pm
2nd 10dpo am
3rd 11dpo am (the one which made me cry as just didn't look dark enough compared to yesterday)
Bottom 11dpo pm

Hoping it sticks x

@Melissa112 that bottom one is a great line for 11dpo! Yey! Goes with the doubling every 48 hours too!

@melissa112 your last one at 11dpo is most definitely darker than 9dpo. I don't think you should worry and keep testing (I know how hard it can be)
Remember at this stage hcg is still rising.

My af is due next Thursday. Think I'll be OK to test on Friday/Saturday?

@madeinthe80z thank you hun. I know I need to not test everyday to see the progression but i think I've become a bit obsessed..x

@Mysleepingangel I'd go with Saturday as then you're 6 days before then but still very early. Fingers crossed x

@melissa112 your last one looks a great line 😊 so pleased it’s improved from this morning!

AF is due thurs/friday, today I’ve needed to wee every hour and so thirsty, very strange! So bloated as well but that could be where I’ve not stopped eating 😂

@madeinthe80z ahh that’s rubbish about the bfn on frer ☹️ How many dpo are you now? The one step ones are meant to be quite sensitive aren’t they? Have you got another frer you can try with fmu?

@Bellesjp I do have another but tbh I'm not gonna waste it. I really think the one steps are just being cruel! They are 10mlu but if its picked up on there, a frer should defo have picked it up. I'll do another IC tomorrow but I'm pretty sure its not happening for me this month. Onwards and upwards! I do have bad AF cramps again today, surprised she's not here yet, even though I'm not due till Sat x
