Heyyy I am back in the two-week wait if anyone is in the same boat and wants company, I ovulated 29th sept I believe! Chemical pregnancy two cycles ago so wishing this cycle is the one 🤞🏼

Congrats @Panda0 !!

Only 3 days until I’m 9DPO, going so slowly…

Kerri9 · 08/10/2022 08:59

@Panda0 congratulations! I also see both.

only 7dpo today, this tww is going sooooo slow

Panda0 · 08/10/2022 09:40

Thanks everyone. I am not going to tell DP yet as he will think I am mental with those faint tests 🤣. Really hoping they will get darker and I can tell him in a few days 🤞🤞.

Hope the rest of the TWW is bearable and best of luck for some BFPs in the next few days ✨.

Congrats @Panda0!

After 2 days of BFN, last night I was sick after being in a taxi and have woken up so nauseous. No tests in the house and trying not to get my hopes up. Ordered some FRERs that arrive tomorrow so fingers and toes are crossed.

Mortima · 08/10/2022 10:07

Tentative congrats @Panda0! Please keep up updated with your progression

@Wrenegade think we are cycle buddies...I'm also about 9dpo and AF will be due by Tuesday, so trying to hold out testing until Wednesday if no AF, which seems ages away at the moment!

@corgilover @emevol your symptoms sound promising, still early for a BFP so fingers crossed.

Wrenegade · 08/10/2022 11:13

@Mortima perhaps we can keep one another sane until the day of AF! It was my intention not to test at all unless I had a missed period but I caved yesterday. The bfn was enough to make me want to wait but it does seem far away. To make the few days seem shorter I’m thinking about how I might approach the next cycle.

Mortima · 08/10/2022 11:28

@Wrenegade So far I have always intended to wait for AF to be late, but ended up testing between 8 - 11dpo...in a way I wonder if it helps me to lower my expectations gradually, but it is such a head fuck isn't it.
Do you think you might do something different next cycle? This time around we tried pre-seed with the applicator...I don't notice much CM so hoping it might help.

Wrenegade · 08/10/2022 13:08

@Mortima I can relate, having the bfn yesterday has helped to set my expectations even if I’m aware it was really early to test. There is something about seeing the bfn visually that helps me to accept the process. I find that my interpretation of my body is completely unreliable.

I’m considering drinking red raspberry leaf tea. I recently learnt that having a short LP can impact chances of implantation. Apparently the tea can lengthen the LP phase. We DTD everyday between day 5 and day 13 so I think we will start around day 7 and try every other day. Let me know how using pre-seed goes, I have heard good things.

justbelieve · 08/10/2022 13:10

@Wrenegade ive started drinking raspberry leaf today at 6 DPO, not sure if I’ve started too late, but I’ll let you know how I get on! It didn’t taste bad either which was a relief

emevol · 08/10/2022 13:41

I think I've just had one of the nastiest indent lines I've ever had Blush just did a test after a long hold. 'Line' appeared straight away.. but doesn't seem to have any colour.

@emevol , I had a few of those that looked exactly the same in the last few days. I used to really like these tests but the last few batches have had indents and/or some sort of scratches that looked like lines 😔

blueberry23 · 08/10/2022 14:08

@emevol I have had evaps that look like that and BFPs that look like that. You could try a FRER?

emevol · 08/10/2022 14:09

I think it's an indent as there's no colour :(

HJA87 · 08/10/2022 14:24

I second what @blueberry23 said, I would get a FRER. The strip test take ages to show anything.

Also, does anyone use the Ava bracelet? Thinking of getting one.

Surreymumma · 08/10/2022 14:28

Hey. I think I'm 5 dpo. Can't wait to test.

Chaoscontrol · 08/10/2022 15:22

@emevol i had an indent in the last test I did yesterday.. 🙈 The last 2 have had vvvvvvfl which I think were both indents..sucks. Still early though. 9dpo and holding out till tomorrow or at least Tuesday.. My fingers are crossed for you 🤞🏻

Sunshine085 · 08/10/2022 16:14

@justbelieve I am drinking raspberry leaf tea to lenghten my lp but I was under the impression to drink it in the first half of the cycle and stop at ovulation. Am I doing it wrong? Thought I was supposed to stop at Ovulation as raspberry leaf tea can make you cramp or something.

Wrenegade · 08/10/2022 16:36

I just wanted to share how grateful I am for this thread and that we’re rooting for one another.

I just sat through an afternoon at MILs whilst she barely engaged with me because she was texting a WhatsApp group with my two pregnant SILs. Hearing how thrilled they are to be bonding over pregnancy and all of their purchases and chats made me feel really anxious and isolated.

@Wrenegade that made me so sad for you reading that, that's not a nice feeling at all, she could have waited until you weren't there to be on WhatsApp, it'll be your time soon ❤️

TheBirdintheCave · 08/10/2022 17:49

@Wrenegade That sucks :( Sorry you had to sit though that.

@Panda0 Congrats! Hope this is a sticky bean :D

Sunshine085 · 08/10/2022 18:30

@Wrenegade how rude of your Mil! Sorry for your shitty afternoon.

Mortima · 08/10/2022 18:36

@emevol That's bad if it's an indent! Hard to tell though, and it is still very early (particularly for a cheapie test). You've done amazingly with the weight loss, I'm really hopeful for you.

@Wrenegade So rude of your MIL! Would this be your first pregnancy? I'm TTC #1 and know that my MIL is dying to become a grandmother, although my BIL and his girlfriend are probably not in that stage yet so I don't feel compared like that.
Thanks for the tip about the raspberry leaf tea, I'll look into that - also aware that my luteal phase is on the shorter side.

I'm convinced one boob is more sensitive than the other this cycle, and that this might somehow mean something 😂

blueberry23 · 08/10/2022 18:42

@Wrenegade that's awful. Does she know you are TTC!?

justbelieve · 08/10/2022 19:34

@Sunshine085 I’m not too sure on whether it gives you cramps, I’ve heard you should drink it until it you get a BFP as it helps to thicken the uterine lining and encourage implantation - I’ll have to look more into it to see if you should stop at ovulation.

I’ve been so bloated this afternoon and had hot flushes, a bit of dizziness and a very very minor twinge from my left ovary… no idea what’s on, but 7DPO tomorrow, so we’re almost ready for testing 💪🏻

Mayfield87 · 08/10/2022 19:35

Sorry to hear you've experienced that @Wrenegade. If she is aware your ttc that's very insensitive.

So I don't know if I'm going mad, I've had a dull ache like AF is coming all day. The veins in my boobs are more prominent too. No sign of spotting which normally happens before AF and it isn't due until 5 days time. I just have this feeling if I'm honest but also could be going mad 🙈 10dpo.
