4dpo and counting!

[beanchopper17]

Are you in the 2 week wait? How are you doing/feeling?

After my either early loss/chemical last cycle I was hoping to try again this cycle (most fertile first 3 months after loss) but sadly I have been super poorly and only managed to baby dance once around peak 🤦🏼‍♀️

So I am not too hopeful this cycle, but at least we did try 😂

9dpo for me, caved and did a test which was BFN

@YEN1 sorry to hear this but it's still quite early! My BFP first time was only very very faint on 11DPO so there is still Hope x

@beanchopper17 yes all the well meaning 'just do this' is annoying. You hear it all the time and it infuriates me even when not directed to me! Most of the time r doesn't come from a bad place when people say these things but it's hard to remember that at the time. After my MC one of my close friends said 'at least you know you can get pregnant' I love her so much but I just had to say 'not helpful right now!' At least I could say that to her.

Hi @Bridgey8, I'm 4 DPO so we're pretty close! X

Seems everyone is at very different stages of the tww!

How you getting on, not gone mad yet 😂

8dpo and realised I have no tests in the house, thank god for Amazon! Even though trying a different brand this month (I only get bulk dip sticks, otherwise I would be bankrupt by now). So will see how I get on with them.

When does everyone usually cave and test?

@SGChome20 oh feel ya with the the good news is you got pregnant in the first place, no hunny the good news would be to have a healthy pregnancy to full term.
Yeah there are certain people who you know you can be honest with and others you just have to bite your tongue and politely nod.
I get people are just trying to be nice or positive, some times I wish people would just let me vent at them 😂

I'm currently 7dpo with a weird taste in my mouth. I had a chemical/early mc and started bleeding properly on Christmas Eve. I'm trying so hard not to symptom spot but it's tough. I had little faith in this month given what happened last month so I've bought the smart thermometer and ovulation tests for next month but I have no idea how to use them either ... basically clueless, feeling a little overwhelmed and anxious. xx

Following on from last night, I had the lightest bleed yesterday when I wiped! Really hoping it's IB. Somebody pass me a crystal ball already... I can't handle this TWW!

I caved and tested this morning at 8dpo. Bfn of course lol I was super emotional yesterday which is pretty typical pms for me so I've not got much hope for this month.

@Salamander91 You're not out until AF shows!

@Salamander91 definitely still hope as 8dpo is so early. I've ordered some tests and I think they'll arrive today and I'm so tempted to test today 10dpo but I know there's little point. Last time I didn't get a even a sniff of a line till 12/13dpo but that was a chemical I guess.

Oh 8dpo is 100% too early I'm just feeling my normal pms symptoms so expecting AF to arrive in about 4 days as usual.

@handbagsandholidays if you need any opk advice, happy to help, been at this for long enough to have a good grip of what's worth trying (remembering everyone's different 😊)

Today (9dpo) I am super super emotional, I have cried 4times today for no reason and it's only lunch time 🤦🏼‍♀️ also I have a very unusual pain in my right groin/hip ish area, like a squeezing sensation, never experienced this before

I might test in the morning, but I might not have time as I have an appointment first thing haha

@Salamander91 it's so hard isn't it. Especially when pms and pregnancy symptoms are similar. Total head waste!

Ok I caved and took a test. Not fmu but a 4 hr hold. It's just the cheapy accu news strip tests from home bargains. I'll attach a pic and see what you girls think.

I can see a line! How many dpo are you?

10dpo today. I'm really hoping it is and I get a sticky bean. I'm going to be testing everyday now! The tests are so cheap (79p for 3!) so I dipped one in water and there was nothing on it at all. I think I've officially gone mad!!

Congratulations @SGChome20

Thank you @YEN1 I really can't get excited about it yet as it's so faint and after 2 losses the last 2 cycles. It's mad, with my first we couldn't get pregnant and now we appear to struggle to stay pregnant. Hoping that this one is a good egg 🤞🤞🤞

@SGChome20 that's a little interesting! I will keep my fingers crossed for a sticky bean 🤞🏻

Congratulations @SGChome20 I think it's a great line for 10dpo on a cheapie :)

Hi ladies, mind if I join you? 2dpo - first month TTC number 2, but have been tracking my ovulation since July. I always seem to ovulate a few days after the Femometer app tells me so think my period is due around the 26th. Have a load of internet cheapie tests upstairs and am a POAS fanatic so trying to wait as long as I can!

Thank you. I really appreciate it. Once AF arrives, I'll start to think about when/how I should test. I've the last 3 days I've started taking my BBT just to get myself in to the habit of doing it ready for next month.

In other news, I've felt so nauseous all day today. 😩 Wondering if it's psychological after last night or whether it's a genuine symptom.

Really random but is anybody else taking pregnacare preconception and noticed neon yellow urine? Might be nothing but it's something I've noticed in the last few days.

@beanchopper17 Have you decided whether you are going to test tomorrow? Part of me is tempted to try a cheap Amazon 10mui one tomorrow too just to see if there's anything at all. Xx

@handbagsandholidays had it got vit b in it (either Vit b complex or b12), if so that can turn your pee some intense yellow/orange colour depending on the dosage!

I will try, depends what time I get up I may need to rush out the house 😂

Well I just had a 3hour nap, I could not keep my eyes open this afternoon, that's something different for a Friday afternoon 😂

Yes! I just googled and it has b12 in it so that must be it! Feeling unusually tired when you've not done anything different sounds very positive. Sending lots of baby dust your way xxxx

I've noticed the neon urine as well. It looks like mountain dew!
