Looking for TWW buddies....

[peaky297]

Hey! I'm on my first month of TTC baby number 2!
I'm now approx 7dpo (I think!) And in the two week wait.
Anyone else?

@Trojancheese how did you get on with the frer? 🤞
How's everyone else today?

I’ve been getting some on and off cramps on my left side, and low down centrally an ache like I’ve done too many sit ups. Absolutely shattered again today. But reading other people’s symptoms around now who got a BFP, I don’t think this is my month.
Hows everyone else feeling?

I got a negative frer with fmu today @peaky297 :( that could mean I'm out already but who knows. Apart from that I literally feel no different. Nothing is new just normal.
@GemLou88 I remember with my last pregnancy writing something down in an app along the lines of 'feels like loads of situps'.
Not everyone has symptoms though!

@Trojancheese sorry to hear that- how many dpo are you? You could still be in with a shout!

Gem lou - sounds promising!

I did a FRER this morning with FMU and I'm pretty sure it's a BFN... I keep thinking that I can see a very slight shadow, but if I'm being honest with myself I'm probably just seeing what I want to see 🙈 pic below

I think I can see a shadow peaky. I'm also 11dpo today, I'm sure I felt some light cramping too so who knows!
How is everyone today? My husband has gone back to work after 10 days off & I'm on a long shift to cover tonight 😩

Sorry @peaky297 im not much help. I think I can see a shadow of a line, but I zoom in and it disappears.
@Trojancheese have you tested again?
Im 9dpo and a stark white bfn this morning in an easy@home. I do have some FRER tests that I can use tomorrow but I don’t really trust them. Should really wait until Friday to test

@GemLou88 I did with a cheapie annnnddd... Bfn ☹️ I've got some early clearblue digitals coming tomorrow. But I've lost interest in using them so it's like my defences saying nope you're not pregnant don't give yourself the heartache! Anything could happen though.

I think it may just be our eyes seeing what we want to see. Will do another FRER tomorrow morning and if that's still negative I think I'll need to prepare for the fact that it may not be my month!

@trojancheese good luck with your test tomorrow - let us know how it goes!

@gemlou88 - you are still very early days, so think you are definitely still in the running!! Why don't you trust FRERs? Do a lot of People gey false positives on them?

@peaky297 when I was pregnant with my son I never got a positive on them until I did with the clear blue digital with weeks. And I’ve seen lots of ladies have indents on them and lots of ladies complaining about them lately.
Sorry for you BFN this morning @Trojancheese like you say anything could happen.

@GemLou88 interesting to know! Maybe that shadow.we think we can see is just an evap... Time will tell!

Any symptoms today?
My boobs are still very sore - they feel bruised! 🙈 I'd usually be having a bit of cramping by now, but don't just the odd ping which is on the sides rather than the middle. All very odd 🤔

In the (very) sore boob club here too @peaky297

I've decided I'm not going to test until AF is due as it just breaks my heart every time I see a BFN after so long TTC. And even then I'm going to do a digital one so I'm not having to use line eyes and it's just in words.

Hope everyone is doing ok today

@monsteramunch totally understand - sometimes you just have to do what is best for your mental health. It's such a brutal process.

Do you usually have sore boobs?

I still have that achey feeling that I’ve done too many sit ups. Feel a bit nauseous and woke up with a headache/dizzy hungover feeling. But I didn’t sleep great because of my 2yo. App is saying AF due a Sunday

Sounds promising @GemLou88 !!
🤞🤞🤞

Just had some pink when I wiped. Think it’s too late for implantation bleeding so I think I’m out

9dpo is within the implantation timeframe @GemLou88 ! 9dpo seems early to be starting? Unless your LP is less than 14 days

@Trojancheese I’m not too sure on my cycles at the moment. I went one the mini pill as soon as I could after having my son 2 years ago, so didn’t have any periods. I came off the pill at the end of October and have had 1 period since. I’m getting some stronger cramping so I’m not being positive on this one

Aww @GemLou88 really hoping it's implantation for you - as @Trojancheese said it's within the timeframe and very possible! As my dad always says to me: prepare for the worst, hope for the best!

Well I finished work an hour ago, came home and went for a wee and found a small amount of pink tinged cm. I'm not going to believe it's IB because I've never had that before but on the flipside my af is never early.
Probably nothing though!

Fingers crossed it’s ib for you @Trojancheese how many dpo are you again?

exactly what I’m doing @peaky297 prepare for the worst, hope for the best x

Thankyou 💜 I'm actually 12dpo, or 13 now we're past midnight. But this must have been in the process yesterday and only just appeared late at night so I'm saying 12dpo.

Pretty sure AF is here for me now. I had no more pink when I wiped yesterday. But this morning there was a lot more pink when I wiped, so I think it’s making a slow appearance

@GemLou88 well on the up side, if it's here you can at least have a fresh slate to try again and a couple of weeks off all the symptom spotting etc (which is exhausting isn't it!?)

@trojancheese - interesting! Perhaps a sign that something is going on! Did you test this morning?

I did another FRER this morning which is a BFN... again, I keep thinking I can see a shadow but given that was the case yesterday too it's probably in my head 🙈 I know its not game over til AF shows, but I am feeling less confident. I still have super sore boobs and fatigue though and today my skin has gone spotty, which never usually happens to me 🤷‍♀️

@peaky297 feel like I can see a shadow again but it disappears. How frustrating! When is AF due?
Pink has turned more red now and heavier so definitely AF. But like you say at least I’m not waiting around symptom spotting and can focus on the next cycle.
Keep us posted @Trojancheese 🤞🏻

@GemLou88 hope you're OK- I know how disheartening it can feel!

AF is due tomorrow/ Friday, so if nothing by Saturday I'll test again, but think I need to pause as I'm driving myself mad! 🙈
