Hi! I'm a couple of days in, tww seems to last for aaaages 😭

Have you decided a date to test on?

Sarahmayo · 06/04/2022 00:05

Hey, glad not to be alone. I am a bit of an obsessive tester, I think I will try to wait until the 16th but will probably cave and test earlier, just can't help myself, despite knowing it will probably lead to disappointment. With my MC pregnancy in December I knew I was pregnant before I tested, I just felt it but I've also talked myself into thinking I felt the same last month and I wasn't.
Have you decided on a date to test yet?

I agree the 2WW is torture and seems like 2 years. How long have you been TTC?

Hey ladies I'm also there with you :)

like you guys I'm also a POAS addict, I've accepted my obsession and yes, in between the evaps and seeing lines that arnt there, I'll also even pee on an opk once in a while whilst waiting for the preg test to develop just to see at test with 2 lines on it 🙈😂

I got a bit of a hope building test this morning but it was quickly dashed by the frer confirming that the IC is actually a cruel false positive giving a$$ (not that I'm bitter lol) I've attached a pic. Fingers crossed we all get some proper blazing positives going on this month fx

Xxx

Hey, how many dpo are you? Smile

LinearPenguin · 06/04/2022 09:52

@Sarahmayo I'm sorry to hear about the MC :( I've been trying for about 2 years now, had a couple of CP and trying not to get my hopes too high each month. I think you know your own body, fingers massively crossed it is right :D I 'felt pregnant' the last time I got a bfp 🤞🏻

How long have you been trying?

I've decided to test on the 15th... hopefully I'll stick to it 😅 but I have a suspicion I'll end up testing all next week

@Gigi88 I can't seem to stop myself from poas! Fingers crossed for a bfp! How many dpo are you?

Gigi88 · 06/04/2022 10:25

@Sarahmayo @LinearPenguin

Hey thanks for your responses.

I think I'm only around 8DPO so to early to be getting positives. But then even now I still struggle to pin point what I think is ovulation and feel confident. I do OPKs but i can get more than 1 positive opk. Im currently awaiting to have a diagnosis of PCOS confirmed which can make using OPKs difficult because of the multiple highs and lows in LH. Once I've got it confirmed there'll be medication I'll need to take to ovulate so...looong story short (trying to lol) I'm testing but im not 100% as to where I am in my cycle untill I see specialist.

I no I'm a head ache sorry

LinearPenguin · 06/04/2022 19:36

@gigi88 I'm never too sure the exact ovulation day either, I have a rough guess and try to overestimate to try and stop myself testing 🙈

I have googled bfp at every dpo so I think it is possible at 8 so you never know

It sounds like you're on the right track in getting the diagnosis and medication, hopefully it'll be quick for you (unless it is a nice bfp and not needed 😉🤞🏻) waiting is the worst part of anything

PrettyPolly92 · 06/04/2022 21:06

Hi everyone please can I join? ☺️

In my first ever TWW, currently about 4DPO trying hard not to symptom spot alreay 😆

@Gigi88 I think you should keep testing, that cheapie test has got a definite line!

When is the earliest an FRER will give a positive? Is it around 8DPO?

Trying to hold off until Easter Sunday to do a test 😄

LinearPenguin · 07/04/2022 10:07

@prettypolly92 it's hard isn't it! I was googling bfps at different dpos this morning 😂 I think you can get one at 8dpo but are likely to get false negatives... This may or may not stop me testing haha

PrettyPolly92 · 07/04/2022 10:44

@LinearPenguin Definitely hard!

I’ve seen so many women getting very faint lines at 8-12DPO which turn out to be chemical pregnancies or indent/evap lines and I think this would upset me too much!

I’m just going to wait until AF is due to test. It will be extremely difficult especially since I have enough pregnancy tests to sink a ship in my house 🤦‍♀️ It’s going to take A LOT of willpower 🤣

Is this baby no. 1 for you?

GoT1904 · 07/04/2022 10:50

Hey! I'm currently 3dpo. It feels like the days are going by so slowly. I'm going to test a week today, at 10dpo. So the 14th. It can't come fast enough!! Xx

PrettyPolly92 · 07/04/2022 10:54

@GoT1904 How exciting! Sending you lots of baby dust 🥰

Please post a photo of your test when you do!

I’m trying not to test but I’ve got a weird addiction to analysing tests is that weird? I love the squinting game 😆

Chlo1995 · 07/04/2022 12:31

Hi, I’m 8dpo today!

I tested this morning, like an idiot🙄 I told myself I wouldn’t test at all because I can’t see it happening this month, but you just never know😂

AF is due Sunday, but I was a week later last cycle, so it’ll be interesting to see if we have another late arrival this time😬 I’m just so nervous about everything…

Like I say, I can’t see it happening for us and I’ve definitely had my usual pre af cramps.

Fingers crossed for you ladies🤞🏼x

TSunshine · 07/04/2022 20:36

Hi ladies!

Hope I can join too? I ovulated on Monday- major cramps all day and on my left hand side. So thinking that makes me 3DPO?

Trying to resist googling every symptom and what happens next, it’s so tough!! 😅

mgdj · 08/04/2022 12:41

Hope it’s okay to join! Currently 1dpo so got a while to wait till I can test!

GoT1904 · 09/04/2022 14:17

@PrettyPolly92 I'll definitely post my tests! 5dpo now here lol. So just 5 days left. And I imagine the easter holidays will keep me nice and busy. 🤣

Welcome @mgdj :) xx

LinearPenguin · 09/04/2022 18:51

@prettypolly92 I'm the same, I squint so hard at tests I always see the indent 🫣 I'm doing my best to hold off until next week but know I'll end up testing soon haha I can't stop myself

Ttc baby number 2, how about you?

I'm looking forward to seeing everyones tests, fingers crossed for lots of bfps! 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻

PrettyPolly92 · 10/04/2022 08:30

@Chlo1995 Fingers crossed she won’t tease you this month! I absolutely hate when you can feel her coming on but she just doesn’t show up for an extra few days. Fingers crossed she doesn’t come at all for you 🤞🏼

When she does show up I kind of feel relieved in one way that now I know and it’s like a fresh start for the next cycle ☺️

Haha I Am looking forward to all the test photos 📸 👀

This will be baby no.1 for me 🥰

I’m 8DPO today and the temptation to test is real 😫

I’m not even sure that my timings for DTD around ovulation were good enough as DP went away for the weekend…. I think I’m being stupid hoping for it this month but I guess I’ll know next weekend and if it hasn’t I can drunk over Easter! X

PrettyPolly92 · 10/04/2022 08:32

Welcome!! Haha you’re in the right place we are all like that by the looks of things ☺️ Always here to support you in your TWW 💪🏼 xx

Sarahmayo · 10/04/2022 09:44

Hi ladies, hope your all doing ok? I've been a total nightmare this month, I've been testing everyday since 6DPO 🙈. Negative of course, not sure why I do this to myself, I've just got a feeling this month is the one. I have really sore boobs, had some mild cramps, headache, feeling tired and been a bit snappy (normal for be in early pregnancy, my kids called me a dragon last time 🤣). I know that i am testing way too early but I can't stop myself. The earliest I could stand a chance to see anything is next Thursday on an FRER and that's only if I ovulated on the predicted day exactly. Did work out that if this is our month me DD is 25th December, would be a baby born at Christmas, conceived on my birthday! How are you all doing? 🌈🌈🤗

@Gigi88 have you tested anymore? I

OP posts:
Sarahmayo · 10/04/2022 09:55

@LinearPenguin
We have been trying since the middle of last year. I got pregnant last October MC in December.
Sorry to hear you've been trying so long, I know it's really hard and drives you insane. I hope this year will be your lucky one.
I usually do know when I'm pregnant but I have been known to convince myself as well when I'm actually not 🙈. How's this month going for you? I shouldn't test until at least next weekend really but I know I'll cave again and test during the week this week 🥺
Welcome everyone and sending you all baby dust and luck 😘

Chlo1995 · 10/04/2022 10:32

@PrettyPolly92 well af is due today and I definitely think it’s coming as I was spotting quite a lot yesterday!

Like you say, I think I’ll be relieved this time around that it’s not happened, I started a new job 5 weeks ago so can’t see it being the best thing to happen right now😬 we’ve also been trying for about a year now and I’ve decided now is the time to do a few blood tests just so that we can rule out anything being wrong… I’m hoping they come back okay and it’s just a case of it could just be taking us a little longer than some people.

Fingers crossed for you!🤞🏼x

Gigi88 · 10/04/2022 18:10

[quote Sarahmayo]@Gigi88 have you tested anymore? I[/quote]
