Hi,

Currently trying for DC 2, already have a 2 year old DS.

I should have ovulated today 🤞🏻🤞🏻

Anyone else entering the TWW? Due AF 7th Jan but will probably end up testing a couple days before 😄

I’m an idiot. 9dpo and I used a frer and got a bfn.
which I new would happen.
so why did I do it?
argh.
also why do I think this time will be different from the past two years?
argh.

MrsL22 · 30/12/2022 21:08

@Downtherabbithole83 keep me updated! I’m hoping to wait until Wednesday (10dpo) but think I’ll be itching by Monday (8dpo).
Something’s telling me not to get my hopes up.
But then I’ve also had more CM than usual after ovulation. Nightmare for symptom spotting 🙈

When do you plan on testing?

MrsL22 · 30/12/2022 21:10

@pennysays this is what I’m always worried about! Please don’t be disheartened - 9dpo is still early. You may have ovulated later than expected. Retest in a couple of days. I have everything crossed for you 🤞🏼

Downtherabbithole83 · 30/12/2022 21:17

@MrsL22 like you I was hoping to wait until Wednesday or Thursday but realistically if I make it to Tuesday it’ll be a miracle.

I haven’t had any symptoms other than some lower back pain yesterday and this morning. It felt like period pain but could easily be from spending hours bent over doing Lego with the children over Xmas… trying not to read into it especially as it’s really too early for anything to be happening.

MrsL22 · 30/12/2022 21:32

@Downtherabbithole83 I’ve had back and pelvic pain but like you say it’s way too early for anything. Probably all phantom and no -existent 🫣 just praying so hard for this to be my month.

Downtherabbithole83 · 30/12/2022 21:38

@MrsL22 will keep my fingers crossed for you! I love reading all the success stories on here.

This is only my first cycle since a loss in November so I’m mostly relieved that my app said I had a peak and should have ovulated 🤞 I know that it’s not likely to happen on the first try since (especially as it took 6 cycles before) but I can’t help but hope.

MrsL22 · 30/12/2022 21:44

I had a CP at 5 weeks in November 😢 made me want it even more but I know my chances are lower now.

Just been scrolling through eBay having a look at cheap pregnancy test strips. I thought that maybe I could buy a few and have them to use for early testing... If they're cheap, you don't mind wasting them!

The earliest delivery date for them is the 6th January! I'm due AF on the 7th, so not really worth it!

I might sneak to the shop and buy a couple. The only problem is that they're so expensive! I have a feeling I'm not going to last until I'm late, so I'm going to need something for next Wednesday/Thursday when curiosity gets the better of me!

MrsL22 · 30/12/2022 22:34

@Pitstop1986 I got mine from amazon! Amazon prime next day delivery :)

Pitstop1986 · 30/12/2022 22:55

@MrsL22 unfortunately where I live even prime orders take a lot longer than usual to get delivered. It's rubbish if you need anything in a hurry 😔

MrsL22 · 30/12/2022 23:10

@Pitstop1986 oh noooo!! Just think - all the money spent will be worth it when you get that positive!!!

T4Opal · 31/12/2022 01:50

Hi can I join please I’m 6 dpo today and this ttw is going so slowly while I’m off work!
I think AF is due on the 6th or 7th but I need to test on the 5th as I’m going to a spa. This is my first cycle trying properly, I had my first full cycle in November after a miscarriage in September. I have a daughter who has just turned 4 and am worried about the sibling gap getting much bigger!

LAgeDeRaisin · 31/12/2022 06:43

What is this???? Took 4 FRERs yesterday 9dpo, ALL negative.

I'm away off to work 25 hours this weekend in A&E... going to be an utter misery and it's an hour commute either end... took one more test this morning, and this- can't believe it. This is real right?

10dpo

@LAgeDeRaisin well look at that!!!! Looks like it is your month after all.
Congratulations - keep us updated xx

MrsSprouse · 31/12/2022 08:46

Tested way too early at 9dpo and I can't tell if the EXTREMELY faint line is real or in my head

MrsSprouse · 31/12/2022 08:47

@LAgeDeRaisin CONGRATULATIONS!

MrsL22 · 31/12/2022 09:23

@MrsSprouse a bit of a squinter but I’m definitely hopeful! Test again in a couple of days 🤞🏼X

Amazon prime next day have 20 for £8.99

ScotsBaby2 · 31/12/2022 09:28

@LAgeDeRaisin that's real. That's a line! Congratulations x

ScotsBaby2 · 31/12/2022 09:30

@MrsSprouse I struggle to see really faint lines on screen but definitely test again. 9DPO is still really early.

MrsSprouse · 31/12/2022 10:59

@MrsL22 I definitely will

@ScotsBaby2 honestly I can barely see it on the picture it was so faint. 9dpo is crazy early so I really should have just waited lol

Pitstop1986 · 31/12/2022 11:08

@LAgeDeRaisin Congratulations!!! This is amazing news! I'm over the moon for you! I bet you can't believe it after all those negative tests that you got when testing too early.

I would say relax and look after yourself, but if you've got long shifts in A and E you'll be run off your feet!

@MrsSprouse I can see a very faint line, but like you say, 9 dpo is very early. Maybe try in a couple of days (who are we kidding?! You'll be itching to test tomorrow to see the line progression!) Sending all of the baby dust your way for a clearer line tomorrow

pennysays · 31/12/2022 13:55

10dpo. Had a long dream before waking about getting a positive test and being so happy. Tested again this morning and a BFN. It’s still early. That dream felt very cruel though.

congratulations @LAgeDeRaisin Your story gives us early testers hope.

Cramping and sore boobs continue.

@MrsSprouse i took my frer apart to ‘see my line better’ but there is no line for me. Hoping for a line progression for you soon.

how is everyone else getting on with symptoms?
