Anyone else here back in the TWW around this time? My TWW started 27th Aug and I'm in need of some company!

This is cycle #9 for us now so really hoping this is the one 🤞🏻

Oooh I see it @Foreverhopeful92 its pink too! I do find those hard to see when you’re half asleep so you could have just missed it! Could you test again this evening? ✨

Foreverhopeful92 · 06/09/2022 10:19

@JaneGnR88 i could - I have a FRER but I’m scared! I know that sounds silly! I think I’ll try and hold out til tomorrow morning as I’m too worried about getting a BFN later.

Thank you everyone 🥰 really appreciate the support. Went on a clothes online shopping spree 🤣 and we have a spa day booked in for next week.
Still spotting though it's now very light, it keeps coming and going, which is sending my mind into overdrive!

@Foreverhopeful92 oh that looks hopeful 🙏🏼 definitely try and hold out til tomorrow morning with the FRER

@JaneGnR88 I think fingers crossed for you!

Foreverhopeful92 · 06/09/2022 12:19

@Astar21 online shopping spree and spa sounds like fab plans!!

ForeverMrsK · 06/09/2022 13:36

@JJaneGnR88 i see it. Fingers crossed test again tomorrow or even tonight! xx

@Foreverhopeful92 I see this too plus you guys are using the pink dye and I defo trust that more. Its so scary, I acn honestly relate but defo bite the bullet and use the frer xx

I tested today as well but I'm convinced I imagined a line plus its blue dye so I don't think I trust it. I will attach a picture. I don't know what to think because as I speak Im having period cramps.

What do you think? X

It's getting darker (buts it's probably been 20mins now) . Im going to go buy a frer because Im actually scared, I feel like these tests play on your emotions a bit xx

Foreverhopeful92 · 06/09/2022 13:50

@ForeverMrsK I can see something but definitely try a FRER if you can get hold of one!
I had dull cramps/ache yesterday so let’s hope it’s a good sign for both of us x

ForeverMrsK · 06/09/2022 13:59

@Foreverhopeful92 lets hope so, keeping everything crossed! I will buy some today and then try to holding testing tonight and test tomorrow morning xx

Hi everyone,

Been lurking in the background on a lot of thread for the last two weeks. Been super moody and had some light cramps nothing from what I would usually be!

Decided to do a test since AF is due tomorrow onwards (my cycles can vary up to 35 days) but the apps say tomorrow.

Unsure if I can see a line. Thoughts? This was after about 5 minutes of waiting.

Hey ladies,

Hope you all are doing well, sorry for those who got their BFNs☹️. Defo treat yourself! @Astar21 ahh I wish I was you right now, spa day and all lol 🥰.

I'm currently on 7dpo, I don't think I'm going to test till AF is due. Currently facing some sharp stabbing pains on my left side since 6dpo.
Sore breasts but very very sore Nipples.
I'm eager to test but defo holding back from doing that .

Did anyone else experience this?

JaneGnR88 · 06/09/2022 15:08

Hi @Scottishgal1 absolutely 10000% a line! Congratulations 💕

JaneGnR88 · 06/09/2022 15:10

@ST18 yep! Last week on and off for 3 days I had sharp pains in my right side which moved downward a bit later on, still getting tingles like pins and needles 🤷‍♀️

ST18 · 06/09/2022 15:13

@JaneGnR88

Ah yes, mines been on and off since 5dpo, on 7dpo today .
Yesterday was the worst I've had. Hopefully it's all good news for all of us soon.

Baby dust to you all ✨❤️

Scottishgal1 · 06/09/2022 15:16

@JaneGnR88 Thank you 😊 I’ll wait til tomorrow and do FRER just to confirm …. Slightly nervous about it all now as we were planning on starting to try til nearer the end of the year!!

good luck every one 🤞🏻

ST18 · 06/09/2022 16:17

@Scottishgal1 I can definitely see a line ! 👍🏼
Best wishes for the upcoming days !✨🙏🏼

Foreverhopeful92 · 06/09/2022 17:05

So I took a FRER this afternoon and BFN!
Now feel silly for getting my hopes up! My rational brain knew that I looked at it after the time limit :(

Obviously was not FMU like this morning so will probably test again tomorrow morning to be sure but not feeling so hopeful now.
I know it’s still early as think I’m only about 10 dpo but I got all excited and carried away! X

pixiecircle · 06/09/2022 18:40

Congrats @Scottishgal1 !!

@Foreverhopeful92 I'm in the exact same position as you! I'd given up hope after my BFN yesterday, but this morning (12DPO) I woke up to a big temp rise so I couldn't resist testing... got a faint pink line on easy@home similar to yours! Squeezed a teeny wee out within the hour and got a stark white on FRER. I caved a couple hours later, again nothing on FRER or CB. Feel so silly wasting so many spenny tests today, but I've never seen a second line before and it just got me so excited... thought it'd be too good to be true.

Anyways I think there is still hope, the line was pink and you're still early — I'll be testing again with you in the morning! Got my fingers crossed for us!! xx

Foreverhopeful92 · 06/09/2022 18:48

@pixiecircle oh gosh literally identical to me! Although I did look at mine after the time limit which concerns me!
I have also never seen even a hint of a line on easy@home tests the whole time I’ve been using them! Even after leaving them they’ve previously stayed stark white so it gave me hope!
Similarly to you I got so so excited and then the BFN this afternoon knocked me back :(
I also got annoyed with myself for using an expensive FRER!
I hope it’s good news for both of us!! Thinking good thoughts for us both!
i will also test tomorrow morning. I originally said to myself and DH I’d hold out for another day so test on Thursday as I’m only about 10 dpo and to hopefully have a more definitive positive or negative but I know I won’t be able to resist testing in the morning! 😂

ForeverMrsK · 07/09/2022 08:11

Morning Ladies,

My update today at 14DPO,

BFP on clear blue and BFN on FRER. AF is due in 2 days so will keep testing unless AF arrives first of course. I did think I saw a vvvvvvvv faint positive on FRER but DH swears he can't see what I'm seeing. I honestly think I'm imagining it now. I feel so deflated and just sad.

Goodluck to everyone testing today. I have everything crossed for you xxx

Foreverhopeful92 · 07/09/2022 08:18

BFN this morning for me unfortunately :(
clearly an evap or indent yesterday! Felt like I just knew it was too good to be true!
Feel like my body has properly tricked me too as just felt odd since Monday when I had the day of cramping.

About 11dpo today definitely not more but could be less as not 100% on ovulation so guess it’s just time to wait now! AF due at the weekend!

@pixiecircle and @JaneGnR88 - hope you both had better news this morning!! X

Foreverhopeful92 · 07/09/2022 08:19

@ForeverMrsK sorry to hear your news this morning! It’s so difficult when the tests give you some hope! :(
Fingers crossed AF doesn’t turn up and you get your BFP!

JaneGnR88 · 07/09/2022 08:41

Morning all, tested on a strip and a frer this morning and both BFN, can see something if I squint, turn into light and pray but really they’re BFN so think my lines up to know are perhaps indents?

I’m around 11 DPO now, not even sure if I ovulated this cycle so feeling really down today 😣

@ForeverMrsK do you have a photo of your frer?

@Foreverhopeful92 we’re in the same boats with tests and dates! Let me know how you get on 💕

Foreverhopeful92 · 07/09/2022 08:48

@JaneGnR88 sorry to hear you’ve also had a bad morning :(
i’m trying to focus on all the nice plans we have this month instead but it’s not easy.
I’ll keep you updated with testing/AF.
I know realistically I should just step away from testing until at least Friday or Saturday but I may need DH to hide them 😂

ST18 · 07/09/2022 09:13

Good morning everyone.

I'm sorry to hear the bad news this morning, there's always a light at the end of a tunnel !

I'm currently at 8dpo, and I try and tell myself to stop symptom spotting but it's so hard.

I had sever breast tenderness from 6dpo. Woke up this morning to absolutely no pain whatsoever. The cramping is also on and off for the past couple of day, however it's eased down today.

I'm beginning to think and fear that things are going down south for me🥺 feeling a little crappy today.

Wanted to ask if anyone else experienced this ?

ForeverMrsK · 07/09/2022 11:08

@Foreverhopeful92 and @JaneGnR88 I'm sorry is not the BFPs we wanted this morning but please take heart in that we still have a some daysand hopefully this can turn around.

I have a picture of my FRER from yesterday which I took. I didn't take a pic of the one this morning because I was so disheartened. It's pretty much similar to the one I'm attaching. You literally have to squinttttttttt so not really reliable.

@STI8 I haven't experienced the breast tenderness but have and cramping on and off and some bloating around 8DPO and 9DPO. The cramping started as a dull ache at the bottom of my stomach and then sometimes it spreads. Right now though, I feel fine. You are still vvv early at 8DPO so please don't lose hope just yet xx
