TTC TWW November 2021

[winkles23]

Hi 👋🏻 anyone else in the TWW?

@mightbeyesmightbeno I wish I could just enjoy it but I feel like I'm just waiting for the test to turn into a bfn. I think it's because of last month's chemical. Did an internet cheapie this morning and it's there but slightly lighter than last night but I've also read that this can be the case for some women. Hate being such an over thinker!

How are you keeping up?

I'm freaking myself out by constantly testing. I'm expecting to see progression on the internet cheapies but I can't seem to see any! 12dpo today, I'll attach a pic of the progression and also the FRER I took just now (SMU, 4.5 hour hold)

Sorry to be a pain :( I'm naturally a stressy person so I don't want to keep bringing it up with hubby

Those are all pretty obviously positive. The stick one is really clear.

Try not to stress. Those cheapies might just not get any darker. Or you need a couple more days.. doesn't hcg double every 2 days or am I plucking that out of no where?

Try a different brand maybe? Premom are pretty clear and affordable. You can get them quickly on Amazon prime. How does the FRER compare? X

@Ballygowenwater yeah I know they are positive but after last month's chemical, I just want to see some progression.

@Rachipops I think if I had a FRER to compare I might feel a bit better. I've ordered some now which are due to arrive tomorrow so I'll do one tomorrow and one the following day and hopefully they will have some progression.

Thanks x

Sending you all the baby dust Winkles

Sorry I was in a meeting and writing at the same time. What I meant is that the Frer is as strong as I remember it ever getting when I was pregnant last time, as are the strips.

Hi everyone, I'm new here. I have been trying for over a year now (i'm over 36) with no luck. Thought it would help me to join a forum to hear from others in a similar situation to me and to keep me sane during this TTW.

I meant TWW ;)

Anyone experiencing any 2WW symtoms? (Other than the Time Moves So Slowly symtom) 😂

@Peonies94 @mightbeyesmightbeno thanks! I got a little frustrated last night as it was a no-go on dtd. Ever start to feel cross that it’s literally such a small window for us to try?!
But we dtd 2 days ago, and hoping we can tonight, so should be covered. Hopefully.

It’s exciting, but just feel like I want it to happen so badly now.

Hope you’re both doing ok!

I'm going to attempt to wait until 10d PO too, AF due around day 12 😬

Yes I completely get you! I feel like my DH holds all the cards sometimes on this front... he honestly thinks that with his "super sperm" it will happen immediately, first session 😂 But I think it's obviously just us women we're far more in tune with our bodies and things that are going on. I absolutely wish that I could just relax / enjoy / be totally natural and not even think about where I am in my cycle. But it's literally impossible!

@mrsS21
Although my O day has gone (I think / according to CB test) I still worry that it wasn't accurate and I'd like to DTD again. Was hopeful for last night also but like you there was no chance!
So hoping for tonight also 🤞

Nope! Nothing except clock watching symptoms! (But also only 2d PO 😂)

Keeping everything crossed for you that it doesn't turn and stays there! I def remember from before that different tests at different times gave me different strength lines. And then as pregnancy moved onwards they got fainter and fainted until almost nothing!

Hi @Tinkerbell098 welcome! Not sure we'll help much with keeping sane... we're all going pretty bonkers with the TWW 🤪

Hey everyone!
I'm 8dpo today... negative on an internet cheapie. Got a FRER to use for tomorrow morning. Any success stories of negative 8dpo but goes on to be positive?! (I've only ever tested from 12dpo previously to get a BFP) xx

@winkles23 ahh congratulations! How long have you been TTC?

@Peonies94 we haven't used protection in over a year but have actively been trying/tracking ovulation for around 5 months x

@mightbeyesmightbeno haha! well, at least it's good to have a place to go crazy with you all. It makes me feel like I'm not alone...

It’s killing me not testing loads but I’ve only 3 tests and can’t get anymore delivered till next Tuesday 😭😭😭

@mrsS21 totally get the frustration! That should be you covered though, but I totally get it! I get really frustrated when I feel like we miss an opportunity! Goodluck! Im skipping a day today, and jusf trying tomorrow for the last time hopefully!

I hate this TWW though! It’s so hard isn’t it, I’m okay for the first 3 days, then I just drive myself crazy, imagining all sorts, even though I know it’s way too early to feel anything!!

Someone needs to come and chop my hands off or maybe just my bank card. I cannot stop POAS!
I'm going to try and refrain from doing anymore for two days now, hopefully I can focus on something else
