Hi Ladies,

A little thread so we can all keep in touch during this TWW we all know how long it can be, the wait feels like a lifetime away doesn't it.

I'm 1DPO & TTC Baby 3 🤍

Good luck all of you 🥰

Congratulations @Gummybear10 😍😍 that's a lovely line on your FRER and the clear blue digital ones are reliable, I have used those before when pregnant with my eldest 😊

@Gummybear10 first of all CONGRATULATIONS 💖 💖💖💖
At 12dpo it is completely normal to get faint lines - but I think it is safe to say you're pregnant!! Enjoy your Hen Do! Virgin Margaritas for everyone! 🥳🤣

Gummybear10 · 29/04/2022 09:19

Thank you for the reassurance @allthingssparkly @Hana89 its much appreciated.
Now I just need to tell my other half and get through my hen do without anyone suspecting.
Sending lots of luck to anyone testing this weekend 💗

allthingssparkly · 29/04/2022 09:26

Your welcome @Gummybear10 😍

Hopefully this is the thread for BFP's this bank holiday weekend 🤞🤍🤞🤍

Hi all! Just a note to say good luck to anyone who is testing this morning!
I'm waiting until tomorrow (12dpo) but I'll be thinking of you all today! 🍀🍀🍀

Glitternails1 · 01/05/2022 08:26

I’m 15dpo and BFN. My bbt increased this morning! It’s been hovering around 36.5-6C since ovulation (dipped to 36.4C 4dpo and 12dpo), but the past 2 days have been 36.7C. Very odd.

Why do women’s bodies have to be so confusing??

allthingssparkly · 01/05/2022 08:35

I have been feeling nauseous this morning 🤢

I've got FF saying I'm 12dpo and Pre Mom saying I'm 11dpo 🙈 however Pre Mom indicates I got my BBT spike on 21st April and my peak OPK on the 19th so I think I'm going with being 11dpo today.

I will either test tomorrow or wait till the 3rd May if I can, but I may cave before 😬

Sounding positive for you @allthingssparkly ... you can hold out it's on two more days 🤞🏼😍 good luck xx

allthingssparkly · 01/05/2022 13:39

Ahh thanks so much @HR2022 🥰🥰 I really want to try and hold out, I've got family plans tomorrow which will keep me busy all day anyway luckily!

OP posts:
HR2022 · 01/05/2022 13:51

@allthingssparkly I'm sure it will :)

I'm going to test again tomorrow... I still haven't had a withdrawal bleed yet after coming off the pill three weeks ago and my friend who's a nurse advised me to test 3 weeks post coming off the pill if I haven't.. my boobs feel quite full today and a little achy, had a lot of hunger feels and cramps but trying not to get my hopes up 🙄 xx

allthingssparkly · 01/05/2022 13:55

Sending good luck wishes to you, keep us posted @HR2022 🥰

I'm getting a little nervous now knowing that this could go one way or the other come the 3rd May 😬 I think it's also why I want to test on the date AF is due rather than any earlier just to be sure I will be gutted if AF makes an appearance 🤣

OP posts:
HR2022 · 01/05/2022 13:59

@allthingssparkly yeah it's such a horrible feeling seeing that dreaded BFN!

I am the most impatient person ever so really struggled to hold out this long! With it being my first month off contraception I don't really know when AF is actually due! Fingers crossed for us both (any all others in this thread) for a BFP soon 🤞🏼xx

allthingssparkly · 01/05/2022 14:31

It really is @HR2022 😩

I'm impatient too, so honestly surprised I've not gone out and bought tests, to do already but I've resisted the temptation 🤭

Hopefully we get some good news our way! 🤞

@allthingssparkly tested this morning - BFN 😞 fingers crossed for everyone else x

allthingssparkly · 01/05/2022 16:44

Oh no sorry to hear that @Kindofcrunchy, how many DPO are you today? X

OP posts:
Kindofcrunchy · 01/05/2022 19:24

@allthingssparkly 10dpo today, early but all my symptoms have gone -.- it took us three years to conceive dc1 and I'm already resigned to a long wait 😂 have you tested yet or are you holding off a bit longer?

allthingssparkly · 01/05/2022 19:27

Oh no @Kindofcrunchy 😩 don't loose hope your not out until AF arrives.

I'm now considering waiting until AF is due which is 3rd May, if there's no sign that day I'll test 😊

Two days to go 🤞

OP posts:
Hana89 · 02/05/2022 09:43

Well I'm 11 or 12dpo and I've got a squinter! There is a faint but distinct second line on the HPT.
It's early days but I'm keeping everything crossed 🍀💖

anotherscroller · 02/05/2022 10:14

Hi! I just found this thread as I’m feeling poorly (cold, sneezing, sore throat, a bit shivery last night) so I’m off work. THANK YOU for this thread.
10 days dpo.
second baby. Fourth cycle we’ve been trying after taking out mirena coil.
feeling: bloating and gas (could be the prenatal vitamin?) not as extreme as I remember from the first time
crazy dreams (I remember that from the first time)
not particularly tired
boobs feel and look normal

I cracked this morning and did a clear blue digital test AND opened it up and watched all the YouTube videos they explain why there are three lines even when you’re not pregnant.
i have to admit even though I think I’m probably NOT, it did raise my hopes a tiny bit, so I’m going to buy another one from another brand later.
i wish I had the strength and willpower to wait until 14 dpo, I know this is such a waste of time and stress.

anotherscroller · 02/05/2022 10:18

Here is the photo if you’re curious (apparently the top one is pregnant/not pregnant, but you can still get a v faint line even if you’re totally not pregnant e.g. if you’re a man. The second one is how many weeks (again, there is always some sort of line, it’s all about how strong the line is).
I think there’s a chance?? But remaining skeptical.

anotherscroller · 02/05/2022 10:22

Forgot to say in case it wasn’t obvious that the digital test said ´not pregnant’

allthingssparkly · 02/05/2022 10:41

I've bought some clear blue tests this morning, so keen to do one today 🙈

I'm 12dpo, AF due tomorrow does anyone know if you have to use these test after your missed period or if they are just as accurate before?

OP posts:
Hana89 · 02/05/2022 12:34

@allthingssparkly I think they can detect very trace elements of hCg so they should be fine to use from 12dpo but I think generally first morning urine has the highest concentration so if you can bear to wait until tomorrow morning you might have a more accurate result x

allthingssparkly · 02/05/2022 13:03

I caved and tested around 11am and it was negative 😩 BBT still elevated though, if AF doesn't arrive tomorrow I will re test in two days x
