Hi ladies...

Here we go again..

I'm currently CD 12 and have just got my static smiley and a HIGH on my E@H. We're doing the deed as much as we can and will continue to do so for the next few days, haha.

I haven't obsessed so much this month, and it's taken lots of the stress away.

Fingers crossed for us all and join in if you want to do the TWW together!

@TrishyLou1111 I'm ok - should get flashing on CD11 usually but now gone CD12 and nothing. Just slowing losing hope as I've not got a good ovarian reserve and I just feel like maybe I'm not meant to have a baby 😞

Hi everyone, thought I’d join you all as driving myself insane during the two week wait.

TTC baby number 3 after a 7 year gap and currently 10 days post ovulation which I’ve tracked using basal temp and ovulation sticks.

My boobs have literally been sore since a day post ovulation. They seem to calm down but then I’ll randomly have pain in nipples and it’s just different and worse than any normal breast pain. The other thing to make me think that I’m pregnant is that I had some slight cramps 7 days PO ( too early for period) and then the following day after jogging literally from the car to the football pitch with my son I suddenly had a big period type pain in stomach… it was definitely brought on by the very brief jog and I run a lot normally and have never has that happen before!

Despite feeling optimistic I’m too scared to test early and trying to hold out until Tuesday when AF is due. I’d forgotten just how stressful and all consuming this is! X

@TrishyLou1111
You still have time for it to show!!

Still no AF for me- she was due 8 days ago (never been more than 1 day late before). Since my two early positive ish tests they've all been negative.
I'm starting to panic about ectopic pregnancy but I think (?) that would still show positive test result?
I'm away for the weekend and then on Monday will test again (11 days after AF due). If negative, I don't know whether to see GP. I'm really nauseous all the time and just feel a bit worried about it but probably overthinking! X

I'm sorry to hear this.
It's all so draining and emotional, isn't it.
I hope you get your BFP soon.

I'm most certainly sure that you are meant to have a baby x

Hi lovely,

It all sounds very promising, but our bodies like to play tricks on us. Keep us updated and I hope you get your BFP! x

@TrishyLou1111 thank you - it's so hard. I just wish I could fall asleep and wake up and magically have a baby!x

I suppose I do!

8 days late? An ectopic would still show positive. Are they stark white negatives? No hint of a line? Have you tried the red dye tests?

If it's negative i would possibly contact GP, however when I missed a period a few years ago they said they typically don't investigate until you've missed 3 on the bounce as it's quite normal to have a blip in hormones. Keep us updated xx

I can't say I completely understand because I'm lucky to have children. But I do know what that pining feeling is like to want to be pregnant so I can sympathise with you. How long have you been TTC? x

@TrishyLou1111 it's complicated but first time I TTC was 8 years ago, took 2.5 years to get pregnant and miscarried at 11 weeks. (Then a break because of my marriage breaking down). This time round TTC 6 months, miscarried at 10 weeks. Currently on month 5 of trying again since my most recent loss x

Hi everyone

Grateful if you can look at this test for me and see what you think. I’m 11 dpo (I think - I did an ovulation test which was positive 11 days ago but not sure if that counts as the day I ovulated?) anyway I’ve had low level nausea now for a while, very lightheaded and sensitive to smell! It all sounds promising but I convinced myself last month and I got bfn.

Just to add - I did this test this morning. By the time I got home from work the faint line had gone… :-/ I’ll try again in the morning I guess. Just interested to hear people’s thoughts x

@TrishyLou1111

Thanks that is really helpful! Stark white negative on normal clear blue & "Not Pregnant" on digital 5 days early (taken 5 days late for AF)
So pretty confident I'm not / no longer pregnant 😥
Sending love & luck!
I'll probably not go to GP unless this nausea continues...it doesn't feel how I would imagine morning sickness to feel. It's where I wish I had a friend who was a doctor or nurse to talk it over with for reassurance but don't want to trouble the NHS!

If that's in the time frame, that's v promising!! I wouldn't look at it after the time frame as can fade.
Fingers crossed for you <3

maybemumtobe · 15/12/2023 21:45

Aw thank you, I’m glad I’m not seeing things! Yes it did appear quite quickly. Good to know it’s normal for them the fade.

wanted to jump in, I was super lucky only halfway through my tww. Yesterday I had a possible vvvvvfl on a cheapie test, though I thought it might be evap or indent. This morning (8dpo) I did another cheapie and saw the line more obviously so did a FRER and CB digital both came up very clear.
Fingers crossed for a sticky one, but 8 dpo seems so crazy early, my last son (now 2) I got a squinter on FRER at 9 dpo so much clearer this time.
Last pregnancy my lines at 11/12 dpo were similar to todays test.
