@Irishgal1987 so happy for you!!! My test arrived still no af... I will try and hold off until the morning. Did you test with fmu?

Rose785 · 03/09/2022 16:22

I caved and took a test as it said you can test at any time. Stark white negative staring back. I don't know why I do this to myself every month and just wait until I am late before I test.

Irishgal1987 · 03/09/2022 16:33

@Rose785 I'm so sorry 😔 it's better to know but doesn't make it any easier. Get yourself a wee glass of wine tonight and watch some crap TV.
Yeah I used fmu this morn but did a clear blue later in the day just to be sure.

Rose785 · 03/09/2022 16:54

Thank you! I surprisingly feel ok we have ordered an Indian takeaway to make ourselves feel better ha ha! I am glad to have heard your positive story it has definitely given me hope!

Toastyteacakes · 03/09/2022 16:55

@Rose785Sorry 😞 It’s so disappointing isn’t it. I am going to try my absolute best not to test until I miss AF next time. It’s just not worth it.

Rose785 · 03/09/2022 17:02

@Toastyteacakes yes me too! Will wait until I am at least late!

Irishgal1987 · 03/09/2022 17:07

@Rose785 good woman, an Indian takeaway is perfect. I reckon you should have choice of the movie tonight haha. I'm glad its given you hope.
Aw girls so hard to wait, I hear ya. Wishing you luck for tomorrow @Toastyteacakes

I’ve had covid since weds/Thursday. I have never felt so rough in my life. Take extra care out there ladies xx

Irishgal1987 · 03/09/2022 07:44

Girls I caved and tested early this morn. Cant actually believe it. Need to do another test asap.

This is incredible news, so happy for you Flowers

Jacko10 · 03/09/2022 23:11

Hey ladies. Also in the 2ww, trying for 2nd baby. My period have been so irregular I'm never sure if I'm late or not which makes the 2ww super stressful. I think I ovualted 11 days ago and got slight implantation bleeding 4 days ago, but BFN this morning. Getting me down :( I have no symtpoms unlike my last pregnancy which I knew straight away. X

Rose785 · 04/09/2022 07:26

Still no sign of period or any pains nothing. Did another test with fmu to be sure and still negative. I didn't beat myself up this time about taking it as I am now late. I just want my period to start now so I can start a fresh cycle for my June baby 😅

Toastyteacakes · 04/09/2022 08:46

AF arrived this morning ! I don’t feel as bad as I expected to. Any tips for success next cycle would be much appreciated 🙂

Rose785 · 04/09/2022 08:57

@Toastyteacakes glad you cam at least move on to the next cycle and not be left in limbo! Yes @Irishgal1987 did you do anything different this month? @Jacko10 I know how you feel! It's awful seeing a negative test. What early symptoms did you get with your last pregancy?

Irishgal1987 · 04/09/2022 09:20

@Nb790410 covid is a horrible bug, hope you feel better soon!
@wellhelloitsme thank-you so much!
@Jacko10 so sorry to hear about the BFN. The 2ww must be so hard for you with the irregular periods 😔
@Toastyteacakes so sorry mrs but at least you know and can move onto next cycle afresh. Glad to hear you arent feeling too bad 🤗
@Rose785 not really. I did use ovu sticks and dtd on the day of a static smiley face. I found the process stressful and almost took the fun out of it. Wouldn't recommend that, try to relax and enjoy as much as possible!

If you don't mind me asking, did you DTD other days around ovu day too? Or was it one lucky time during that window?

Really happy for you Smile

Tes004 · 04/09/2022 09:42

Hi ladies - hope you don’t mind me jumping in - in the process of leaving details on threads as I have searched the net for days being a complete nutter at success stories etc etc
but yesterday I done another test bfp … on Tesco brand which I spent all night being so excited I couldn’t sleep- this morning after seeing reviews I thought better check again complete BFN .. so heads up - don’t use the Tesco 😢 I have to wait to tel my husband when he gets home from work that it was a crap test and no baby - 14dpo today so I guess we’re out - pic added - good luck ladies xx

TWW since Tuesday, anyone else waiting? Due AF next Saturday
wellhelloitsme · 04/09/2022 09:48

@Tes004

Sorry this has happened, it's the worst isn't it?

Is it just the two tests you've done? Only as I've read it's much more common to get a false negative than a false positive so might be worth taking one more (another brand) to see?

Tes004 · 04/09/2022 10:00

I have done so many tests - after the + from Tesco I done the same test (top pick) and cheap strip negative- I was so sure I was , boobs have been killing me had tiny amount of very light brown discharge this morning when wiped so I guess at is on way -14dpo today x

Irishgal1987 · 04/09/2022 10:28

@wellhelloitsme dont mind you asking at all 😊 we did yeah but not often if I'm honest. Like two days before static smiley and one time after.
@Tes004 I'm really sorry that you had to go through that. Did you try the pink dye tests?

Tes004 · 04/09/2022 10:40

@Irishgal1987 I did like 5 days ago negative. But I’m pretty sure it’s all over, it’s so hard because it’s like your going crazy - last night laying with husband excited planning etc and he works in the justice system so he would have gone to work today on cloud 9 and now I have to try to explain that the test was either wrong or v early loss/chemical- though I think false positive is easier to process - I’ve had 8 mc all early , the cramps I feel seem to be more painful x

Irishgal1987 · 04/09/2022 11:54

@Tes004 I'm really sorry 😔 having such a high to not is so hard for you to get your head around. Take time and look after yourself lovely.

Rose785 · 05/09/2022 07:09

Af arrived this morning. 2days later than expected. I feel fine about it and just relieved to know rather than waiting! Can move onto trying for a June baby! My fertile time will be when we are on holiday so maybe we will have more luck! I am worried as I used the clear blue this last cycle and 2 before all with positive ovulation confirmed but still not the outcome I hoped so makes me think maybe there is an issue. I guess no point worrying about something out of my control. Thanks for all your support on this thread you have been amazing!

NatGee · 05/09/2022 07:30

@Rose785 sorry to hear that but glad you're alright with it and ready for the next cycle

Kpinks44 · 05/09/2022 08:22

Hi ladies! Great to hear we have a positive, congratulations @Irishgal1987 !

sorry been very quiet, was trying to just keep busy and not go into overdrive!

decided to test on Saturday (9DPO) and was a negative, but I had kinda convinced myself! Nevermind, I’m due AF on Friday 9th but since I got the negative I’ve literally not had a single symptom so it was definitely my mind just being mental 😂 so I feel fine now and just cracking on. We go on holiday this week so all good, just go to relax and enjoy and on to next month!

we will get there! Sending lots of love xx

Rose785 · 05/09/2022 09:22

@Kpinks44 that's still quite early to test, so I think you still could be. If I was to give myself advice on what I have learnt over the last 6 months of ttc, is don't bother symptom spotting as period symptoms for me are exactly the same! Like this morning I felt really nauseous, sore boobs, headache, tired all weekend. Don't bother testing until at least a day late. And I think I am going to stop buying all these various conception pills and just take folic acid ( I have been taking vit D, DHA, Coq10, B6) as this whole thing has cost me a few hundreds already! All this is easier said than done I know, and will do everything to stay strong and listen to my own advice 😂(not sure I can stick to testing late as I too just want to know early!) I would also love to know how everyone gets on in their next TWW, baby dust to all!
