hello, is anybody at their 2ww with me ? I am thinking I could be 7 dpo or 8dpo today, positive opk test was at midnight Sunday the 9th. I believe ovulation could have happened around 10th or 11th , I tested this morning knowing fully well that it is going to ne BFN and suprise suprise It was 😂

The faintest of faint lines. Really hoping this gets stronger. 10dpo

2ww anyone ?
Beth191 · 21/04/2023 16:42

@Hankthehonk it's always easier in person but I do think I can still see a vfl here, do you have any clear blue digitals for tomorrow's fmu?

BB2023 · 21/04/2023 18:18

@Hankthehonk Hugs for you - don't lose hope, still very early. Have you got more tests you can try over the weekend? Maybe take a break tomorrow and test again Sun or Mon? x

Hankthehonk · 21/04/2023 20:02

@Beth191 @BB2023 thank you both! I honestly have such line eyes that I have no idea if I'm seeing things or not with today's test, yesterday's seemed clearer for sure which is weird.
I have an abundance of tests - Boots, FRERs and a couple of CB digitals but I'd probably keep the digitals until I have a more definitive line on a pink dye one.
I know I SHOULD probably leave it a day and wait til Sunday but I'm not capable of that 😂 so I'll be testing again in the morning for sure. I even did a cheapie this afternoon with what I knew would be useless diluted wee because I'm such a testing addict. Trying not to beat myself up about that! I wasn't like this when ttc before the miscarriage but I think it has heightened my anxiety and the tests give me a sense of control or something.

@GemLou88 I definitely see something in that 10dpo picture! Sending luck and hopefully it gets darker, keep us updated

Hankthehonk · 22/04/2023 06:12

I don't know what to make of my tests. Last night before bed I had been holding my wee for almost 4 hours so I did a cheapie easy@home test which came up with the best line yet - see pic. So I was excited to do a frer with fmu, honestly I barely slept, but it looks negative. Again there's a bit more of a line on the cheapie from this morning but not as much as last night.
Frer are more sensitive than these cheapies so I don't get it!
I know, I know, I should try to stop testing but that's a lot easier said than done.

@Hankthehonk its encouraging that the ics have a faint line but you’d expect Frer to be darker by 10dpo

I’ve got everything crossed for you. Baby dust xx

Hankthehonk · 22/04/2023 07:37

@lucya66 thank you. Yes I was thinking the same about the frer. I think honestly it probably isn't my month but af not due until Tuesday and I will test daily until it shows up even though I know it's probably pointless. I don't really have any symptoms either if I'm honest with myself, tiny cramps and boob pain plus the insomnia but that is probably just because I've got myself wound up about tests. Told myself I wouldn't be like this!

lucya66 · 22/04/2023 07:41

I know what you mean @Hankthehonk its so hard not to obsess

could the frer be a dud as the control line looks a bit odd?

Hankthehonk · 22/04/2023 07:51

@lucya66 I'm not sure. Don't want to use another good test until tomorrow, I can at least hold out that much!

How's everyone else getting on with the tww?

GemLou88 · 22/04/2023 08:27

BFN for me this morning and a temp drop at 11dpo. AF due today or tomorrow so safe to say I’m out. Fingers crossed for you @Hankthehonk xx

BB2023 · 22/04/2023 10:47

Tested this morning but it was negative. That's ok though, I'm not sure when I ovulated or when AF is due so I just decided to go for it 🫣 Will test again middle of next week if no AF by then x

Beth191 · 22/04/2023 19:14

I'm 8dpo and trying to hold out on testing but might tomorrow morning, depending how strong my willpower is! I'm a terribly symptom spotter, I've convinced myself that I have cramps, boob pain and different cm to usual but I'm sure I'm imagining is all as usual!

@Hankthehonk I know you know this but try to wait until Monday fmu, the day before af that should give a good line on a frer x

Hankthehonk · 22/04/2023 20:16

@Beth191 I know you're right and that's what I should do but I'm not going to give myself a hard time for testing daily! I sort of accept I'm obsessed at this point.
Actually I think my af will be Wednesday or Thursday- premom saying Tuesday but my luteal phase is usually 15 days.

Fingers crossed for you as well keep us posted! I can't pretend I've spotted many symptoms, I've had a few boob twinges but nothing like the drastic change in my boobs I have had in both pregnancies. I had insomnia last night and been very emotional today but that could all just be how preoccupied I am about testing etc.

Hankthehonk · 23/04/2023 14:27

Any updates? Hope others are coping with the wait better than me!

buckingmad · 23/04/2023 14:48

Think I’m about 3dpo so that awkward stage of being too early to even symptom spot. DH is away with work until Friday when I’ll be 8dpo so just in time for me to start obsessively start peeing on sticks 😂

Ttcdcno1 · 23/04/2023 15:12

2dpo for me so still a long wait til poas time 😂

Hankthehonk · 24/04/2023 08:52

@buckingmad @Ttcdcno1 Hope the wait isn't too tortuous for you! I've found the second half of the tww - the testing part - much worse, I was a crazy person obsessing over invisible lines for a couple of days there. I'm now 12dpo and more accepting of the fact that this probably isn't my month. No symptoms that couldn't just be explained as pre-menstrual and any faint lines are probably evaps or my imagination. I hope af shows up on time (due Wednesday) so I can move on, and also enjoy a few drinks at my friend's hen do this weekend! (I've been thinking of this as my consolation prize if not pregnant this month)

Hello, yes you are definitely pregnant. I know it’s hard but try to stop testing if it’s causing you worry.

i just spoke to my gp receptionist. She’s going to get the midwife to call me tomorrow. :)

have you spoken to yours?

Hi ALL,

Congrats to everyone with the BFP'S🤗

@3rdsunshine Do you have any symptoms?

Ttcdcno1 · 24/04/2023 20:04

@Hankthehonk I’m going to try my hardest this cycle to stay relaxed.
It’s such a gruelling process though isn’t it! I’m usually the same, for the first bit I know there’s no point testing so don’t really think about it, and then as soon as it gets close to the days where there’s a slim possibility I could see something if I did test all logic goes out the window 😂🙈

Mannymoomin · 24/04/2023 20:28

Hope you all don’t mind me jumping on, but this seems to be a lucky thread, massive congratulations to everyone!

Im only at most 4dpo, I didn’t track and we only dtd once, but EWCM and being immensely horny I am almost certain I was at my most fertile. So I need luck 😂
This is my first time trying since mc end of last year and cp in jan.

Babydust to everyone

BB2023 · 24/04/2023 20:34

@3rdsunshine Sending hugs, easy for us to say don't worry but anxiety is tough. Hope you start to feel a bit more yourself soon. Lovely line xx

Good luck for this cycle! Finger crossed for you x 🤞🤞

BB2023 · 24/04/2023 20:37

No updates from me. I stupidly only had one test as that's all sainburys had when I went so I used that on Sat but it was negative. I'm in the office tomorrow so I'm going to pop to Boots to get a few more (I've seen on other threads that Boots one's are quite good apparently!). No AF yet so still just hanging around for now xx
