Hi, anyone else starting their 2ww?
I'm currently at 4dpo. Searching all over the internet for best time to test, anyone had any luck with super early positives?

This is my 4th cycle trying to conceive, and I've symptom spotted every time, and taken really early tests.

Hoping this is my month! 🤞🏻

Hey, day 8 here, I think! Decided not to use opks this month or bbt but it's frustrating! I crazily took a test this morning, I know it's too early. I think realistically 10 dpo is the earliest and it will most likely be a squinter, with a frer. Hope it's your month!

VixFromThe6ix · 23/04/2021 16:14

Like @Arghlife said, earliest 10dpo where you might have a squinted. Most pregnancy tests advice you to take it at 14 dpo to be certain.

Good luck to both of you!!! ✨🤞🙏

Can I join? I’m a bit early as not ov yet but hoping to in the next few days! This is cycle 5 for us trying for our first 😊

Arghlife · 23/04/2021 21:13

@Bellesjp hey! Think this is cycle 5 for me too.

wanderlove · 24/04/2021 07:50

Cycle 4 for me. I am 14 dpo so due af on Sunday but my cycles are all over thr place at the moment . Normally 28 days but last cycle 21 days so I don't feel like period will be late if it doesn't turn up tomorrow as I could have gone back to 28 days. I'm putting off doing a test for as long as possible so I am not disappointed. Anyone else had these crazy different cycles?

Bellesjp · 24/04/2021 08:26

Fingers crossed for you @wanderlove 🤞🏼 Mine have always been a bit long (31-35 days), makes the wait even longer 😂

Is anyone taking any vitamins or anything to help? I’ve been using the conceive plus vits for the last few months and this month started omega 3 as well

Arghlife · 24/04/2021 09:33

@wanderlove have you tested yet?

Arghlife · 24/04/2021 09:35

I'm taken seven seas and calc fluor which is meant to be good at helping to thicken the lining. I use to take about 5 different tablets as I had to increase my lp as it was only 9 days, I've managed to get it to around 11 days now.

Delight12 · 24/04/2021 09:49

Can I join please? I'm currently 2dpo I hate the 2ww process

FayLiv · 24/04/2021 10:15

Eek can I join also? I had smileys 14/15th and back down again 16th. So a little unsure of how many DPO I am but I'm in the two week wait and it feels like FOREVER. Sending you all lots of luck for a bfp. X

wanderlove · 24/04/2021 10:26

@Arghlife
Tbh I'm playing some sort of psychological game with myself...because I'm not sure of my cycle length and it seems all over I'm going to test next weekend if my period hasn't come. Tbh I don't feel any symptoms so I'm protecting myself from getting my hopes up! Think AF will arrive as usual this week

Ljastar · 24/04/2021 11:07

Can I join...in 9dpo today....stupidly took a test and it was a bfn! I know it's too early.

We are on month 2, I had my coil removed on 18th Feb and my first cycle was over 40 days. My OH is telling me to be patient and he classes this as the first real month...he said the first cycle doesn't count as my body was settle down. We both have two kids from previous relationships and don't currently live together. So in a bit of a weird situation. It makes DTD harder as he only stays here when he doesn't have his kids.

I'm symptoms spotting like mad and driving myself insane. Im due AF Thursday, but I've got a bit of dodgy stomach which I usually get a few days before AF so I think I'm probably out this month!

FayLiv · 24/04/2021 11:41

@Ljastar I think I am around the same as you DPO wise also due on Thursday. My boobs have started to hurt slightly but I don't know if that's because of AF..although no sore boobs last month. I only managed to dtd 14th so I'm not holding out much hope but still 🤞🤞
I tested with a cheapie and BFN.. sending you lots of luck

ChickenNuggetRose · 24/04/2021 14:56

Can I join please! Currently 2DPO and it's dragging already 😭 1st cycle of trying so I'm not holding out too much hope!

wanderlove · 25/04/2021 10:09

At due today and definitely feel big boobs and boggles cramps so not holding out much hope.

Arghlife · 26/04/2021 10:07

Af due tomorrow, looks like a positive 😬 hope it sticks

MamatoEsme · 26/04/2021 10:10

Can I get in on this. 10DPO for me today. Tested this morning and BFN. I had a "chemical" in Feb/March (I say chemical as that's what the midwife classed it as, as have positive tests for over 2 weeks but scan at 8 weeks showed nothing and BFN on tests but didn't bleed until a week after my second missed period) but I didn't get my first vvvv faint positive with that one until 12dpo. :(

victoria5895 · 26/04/2021 10:37

@Arghlife congratulations!! That's so exciting!

I'm at 7dpo now. I've had to lock my test away so I won't take any until at least Friday.

wanderlove · 26/04/2021 11:40

@arghlife
Wow congratulations!! Let's hope it is a lucky thread. Did you have any symptoms they made you think it might be positive. My period is now officially one day late if I go by 21 day cycle. But not late at all on a 28 day cycle; in fact 6 days to go. I have a test in the cupboard so may do it in thr morning. Not sure whether to wait as even if it is negative I don't know if I'll trust it and keep doubting as it may be too early

Arghlife · 26/04/2021 11:45

@wanderlove no different symptoms other than my spots that I usually get before a period seemed slightly worse and more concentrated around my chin 🙄 other than that, nothing. I nearly didn't bother testing this morning. Trying not to get excited but it's my first ever positive. We're you tracking your cycle for ovulation? Must be frustrating if your cycles range that much In days x

Delight12 · 26/04/2021 12:05

@Arghlife congratulations to you, I'm patiently waiting to test but getting really bad cramps so I'm probably out this month.

wanderlove · 26/04/2021 17:42

@Arghlife yes I was tracking and the last cycle was 21 and the one before 28 days so no idea what all that means. I'm trying to not put too much hope in being a day later then last cycle but it's so hard! I'll test once I'm late for a 28 day cycle .

A1b2c3d4e5f6g7 · 27/04/2021 08:48

Morning, 6dpo here, hate this point of the cycle 🙈 Fell pregnant in Aug on our first month, was all over in October, periods didn’t really come back properly until Dec and haven’t had a positive since! Anyone else find they really obsess in the week before period is due?

wanderlove · 27/04/2021 17:36

@A1b2c3d4e5f6g7
Sorry to hear about your loss. I have had two miscarriages and it is really tough. You can't take anything for granted even when you get a positive test, I think it really changed your experience of early pregnancy

My AF arrived. I'm thinking of getting some ovulation tests for next month as with my cycle being all over who knows when I ovulate. Anyone else use them or recommend one? Am I best with cheap Amazon ones or the digital ones?

A1b2c3d4e5f6g7 · 27/04/2021 18:15

@wanderlove really sorry about two losses, that must have been awful.

I am currently using the Clearblue Digital pink ones (just a blank zero or a smiley, no flashing smileys) they have 20 in a box and are cheaper than the flashing ones and last 2-3 cycles. I'm also doing bbt, which is very cheap, and easy - a lot easier than I thought. Turns out my ewcm comes quite a few days before I ovulate, so if I'd have gone off that only I'd be missing it
