That dreaded period of waiting to test 😓 9 days before I can test, it's not fun. I've never been a very patient person 😅

@MrsAnonymous24 really. They do say you are more fertile the 3 months following. The lady at the epu said this also. So fingers crossed.
@ThelastRolo20 yeah it does happen far too often. Something you don't realise so many people go through until it happens to you. Fingers crossed we get our lil 🌈

MrsAnonymous24 · 07/12/2023 13:00

@romdowa welcome! Thats amazing! Fingers crossed for this time! 🤞

MrsAnonymous24 · 07/12/2023 13:01

@miamiamia869 Absolutely! Fingers crossed for you 🤞

FriedSmartie · 07/12/2023 13:03

I'm 4DPO and going insane symptom spotting! This is our 8th cycle trying. We had a miscarriage 2 years ago and had to put trying on hold until this year again so we're now on cycle 8 this year of trying. Really hoping for a positive for Xmas.

Potatogirlpie · 07/12/2023 13:52

Hi everyone, not been active the past few days 😅. I'm 10dpo and I'm getting the sense that I'm out this month. I've taken several tests, all neg and I'm due on in 2ish days 😔. Just bought some first response tests, so I'll test again tomorrow 😭

@Potatogirlpie I’m sorry you think you’re out! Fingers crossed for a miracle and you get your BFP!

ThelastRolo20 · 07/12/2023 15:51

@Potatogirlpie best of luck for tomorrow. 10DPO is still relatively early to test! I only had a whisper of a line at that point last time x

Bugdem123 · 08/12/2023 08:29

@ThelastRolo20 hey! Nice to see you here. I think I'm going to take a leaf out of your book and not rest until AF is due too.

I had my work Christmas lunch yesterday and definitely had one too many wines. I rarely drink now so feeling a bit annoyed at myself and guilty that I have during the TWW but also kind of feel like I can't pause my whole life indefinitely? Can anyone make me feel better and say they all have had a drink in the TWW 😅

ThelastRolo20 · 08/12/2023 08:44

@Bugdem123 completely agree to not put life on hold. My Christmas party is tomorrow and I'm having a drink. Not a silly amount but this is stressful enough as it is 😂

AppleCrumble96 · 11/12/2023 12:14

Thought I would update you all! AF started bang on schedule this morning so off on to the next cycle to try again. Wasn’t first time lucky as expected!

MrsAnonymous24 · 11/12/2023 15:32

Sorry about AF @AppleCrumble96. Good luck with the next cycle 🤞

I’m testing tomorrow if no AF! 🤞

AppleCrumble96 · 11/12/2023 15:38

Thank you @MrsAnonymous24! Fingers crossed for you 🤞✨

MrsAnonymous24 · 11/12/2023 15:39

Thank you @AppleCrumble96! Will update tomorrow

miamiamia869 · 11/12/2023 16:40

Good luck @MrsAnonymous24 I think I might test tomorow too. I was gonna hold on to Thursday when af due. But I jaut feel like I'm out this month I've been so stressed and struggling not to break down and cry at work that I just want to know and get it of my head x

MrsAnonymous24 · 11/12/2023 19:56

Good luck @miamiamia869! Let us know how you get on?! I’m sorry you’ve been stressed and struggling!- I know what you mean, I hate the waiting and I just want to know!

MrsAnonymous24 · 12/12/2023 08:02

Hi everyone. So tested this morning.. 14dpo and app says period due tomorrow. I didn’t test ovulation this month so I’m not definitely sure when I ovulated.
I got faint lines.. picture attached..the first cheapie one I was sure was negative until about 2 and a half minutes where I thought I saw a faint line.. but my husband said he was a bit late with the timer so it could have been after the 3 minutes.. got darker since but you can’t trust them after the time limit so I don’t know 🤷‍♀️ I think it looks pink..
the clear blue one definitely came up with a faint line which I think looks blue within the time limit.. but I’m not sure if they’re evap lines, whether they have colour or I’m just making that bit up 🤔
I thought for sure that they would be darker by now. I’m going to see what happens with AF and if not test on Thursday.
my husband is taking that as positive for now.. but I don’t know 😞

Also worried about it being a chemical with the lines being faint.. 😞

bubballoo · 12/12/2023 10:22

@MrsAnonymous24 the time is usually "after 3 minutes but before 10". These are definitely positive! Congratulations! 😊

Lines have to start somewhere. My pregnancy with my now 2yr old started faint and got darker over about a week.

MrsAnonymous24 · 12/12/2023 10:27

@bubballoo You’re right and that makes me feel better! Thank you! 😊 that’s interesting, hopefully it’ll get darker over a week too!

My clear blue one has faded a bit now though, almost can’t see the line! Bit worried about that.. But I read that clear blue ones can do that.. think the clear blue tests faded with my Son..

miamiamia869 · 12/12/2023 13:09

@MrsAnonymous24 I tested this morning and stark white BFN. I was kind of expecting but still gutted. I know 12dpo is still a bit early but it was so white and I just feel out this month. Congrats on yours though and that's not even that faint line it's clear positives. Try not to worry about chemical I think them lines will darken for you. Massive congratulations x

MrsAnonymous24 · 12/12/2023 13:18

@miamiamia869 oh I am sorry about this mornings test. Not out until AF arrives though! It does make you feel terrible doesn’t it, I’m so sorry.
Thank you I hope so. Will see what happens and test again on Thursday.. or tomorrow if I can’t wait 😂

Anyone had a clear blue that faded when it dried- it was a good few hours after the test was done..

I feel like I have stolen OP thread- I am so sorry!

FriedSmartie · 12/12/2023 15:43

Congratulations 🎉🤗 They're definitely positives🤗 Any time I use clearblues the control line always ends up fading away so probably same with that, wouldn't be worried about it fading afterwards when it's a clear positive.

MrsAnonymous24 · 12/12/2023 16:36

Thank you @FriedSmartie 🙏

romdowa · 13/12/2023 07:19

I'm 10 dpo tomorrow, is it too early to test or should I wait the 14 days ? I've never known 10 days to go so slowly

brbttc · 13/12/2023 07:40

Hi all. 12DPO today and got this positive ❤️ for the past few days I've had pulling sensations in the abdomen, slightly sore and fuller boobs, dizzy in the morning. Cautiously excited Smile best of luck everyone else Flowers
