Who else is in the 2WW currently? How many dpo are you? What symptoms do you have? How do we make time go faster?🤣

Fingers crossed for us all 🤞🏼❤️

Yeah, you're right. In that comment I more meant that I was sure I didn't mess up my ovulation day/fertile window but you're right, even if I got it 100% right there are so many other factors.

I'm also going to stop testing and wait for AF, who is late now. I'm never late, so she's just being cruel 😂 onto the next cycle I guess whenever she shows!

That does feel cruel doesn't it 😢 really hope you get your BFP soon. It's so hard isn't it.

Why do we do this to ourselves? I just took my last cheapie test and it has the worst indent. Bad enough that is very very faintly shows up on a photo. I know these give indents, I’ve had multiples over the last few days which then never get darker and are clearly indents. Grrr! No one but the 10mlu one step cheapies off Amazon or eBay! They cause nothing but false hope.

Oh no! Which cheapie is it? I find the easy @ home gave me so indents this cycle. Don't think I'll be ordering them again. Still not too late for you, but let's both wait now until when or if AF shows x

I can see it. Fingers crossed! If others fe the same batch are stark white, that’s promising. My assumed indent is about the same as this, but my batch has had loads of indents previously this month, so I’m not as hopeful! But I recon yours is likely to be a positive 🤞

Bb542 · 31/12/2023 14:54

Oh wow @Nic17 that looks promising. Please keep us updated won't you? I really hope it's positive 🤞🏼

@Applesandcake keep us updated too, you never know!

I don't understand why my period is late 😭 it's so cruel... like I'm literally never late 😭

I’ve now got an indent on a Clearblue. I really really don’t think these are the beginning of a positive but just awful tests, it’s playing with my mind though. I want to drink baileys tonight if it’s a negative! I will hold my wee and do another test tonight and if it’s negative on the first response I’ll have a small drink!

Applesandcake · 31/12/2023 14:58

Definitely looks like an indent but grrrr.

2WW - How are we all feeling?
Bb542 · 31/12/2023 15:04

@Applesandcake that looks like it could be positive to me. I don't think it's a coincidence getting indents on two different brands? Definitely test again in a few hours and let us know. I've everything crossed for you!!

Did it come up within the time frame?

OP posts:
Starlight11111 · 31/12/2023 15:29

@Applesandcake that could be positive, I don't want to get your hopes up but I find clear blue indents are usually super thin and dark, yours looks lighter and wider to me. Keep us posted!

@Bb542 my AF was 4 days late last cycle (usually like clockwork) and it was torture, I couldn't stop testing. I hope it turns up soon.

No nausea for me today and generally feel fine, used another easy at home and I think it's a bit darker 🤞🏻 will let you all know how FRER goes tomorrow, thanks for being here for support! X

Do the Clearblue indents you’ve had have colour in them? I’ve always been told that evaps and indents should be colourless, but not sure if that’s true with blue dye?

Bb542 · 31/12/2023 16:07

@Nic17 aw so glad your lines are getting darker 🥰 I love the little group we've got here. I imagine lots of you will be moving over to the pregnancy forum soon but hopefully we can still chat here too 🩷 and hopefully I'll be joining you next month 😍

@Applesandcake I had an indent on a clear blue and while it was blue, it was a really skinny line and parts of it were faded. Like Nic17 said, don't want to get your hopes up but I think it could look good. 🤞🏼

Thann you. Don’t worry, no hopes up as I really don’t believe it is anything, I’ll be gobsmacked. It has a thin darker strip to the side but then is thicker across. Weird. Holding from now until 7.30! I will update regardless!

Bb542 · 31/12/2023 20:41

AF arrived for me 😭💔 onto the next cycle I guess... any updates with you girls?

Little nervous as I’ve fallen quite poorly in the last 24 hours we had to leave our family’s New Year’s Eve party and come home as I am really sick coughing cold and fever 🤒 so worried I’ll have an early miscarriage again! Hope you are all having an amazing New Year’s Eve!!

Ah I'm so sorry to hear that. I hope you've got a nice glass of something to drink (if you do drink!) And are all geared up for the next cycle.

I still haven't been able to test again, we are travelling home tomorrow so will pick up tests in the evening and let you know.

Bb542 · 01/01/2024 00:36

@1111hope oh you poor thing. Nothing worse than the flu 😭 hope you're feeling better soon and try not to worry too much 🩷

@TTCnewbies thanks so much 🩷 had a little cry to DP but he reminded me 2024 will be our year so fingers crossed 🩷 please keep us updated on your TWW 🤞🏼

OP posts:
Starlight11111 · 01/01/2024 03:24

@Bb542 I am both so sorry your AF arrived and equally relieved you can move onto your next cycle where I really wish you all the luck 🤞🏻

@Applesandcake for me the CB indents were bright blue.i think this is why everyone recommends red dye tests, please keep us posted!

Ladies I had a "pregnant" on an early digital today!!!!! Obviously I'm ecstatic but given my two loses in also terrified. Send me hope please 🙏🏻

Starlight11111 · 01/01/2024 03:25

Starlight11111 · 01/01/2024 03:42

@1111hope I really hope you feel better asap! As I'm also experiencing pregnancy after loss I feel you xxxxx

SC126 · 01/01/2024 07:53

Sorry to jump in. Tested this morning at 11dpo! I had a chemical last June so now I'm on edge 🙈

2WW - How are we all feeling?
Applesandcake · 01/01/2024 08:11

Congratulations to all the positives! Amazing.

I tested again last night and had a vvvvvvfl on the Clearblue again in the time frame, but it was lighter and nothing on the first response, so I think either I’ve had three nasty evaps, or I’ve had a chemical, which would explain my sore boobs and breastfeeding aversion (which I have only had in 6 years during two periods of time, each time I was pregnant!) but who knows.

I don’t have any cheap tests left, so I’m not going to test again - I’ve spent a fortune already! AF is due on Thursday. Seeing people getting positives on 11dpo does make me want to test again but I’ve seen so many negatives and stared at so many shadows the past few days, I need a break!

I ovulated day 12 if my cycle last month, which if I do again means my fertile window will start in only another 12 days, so at least I don’t have long to wait :)

Im sorry Bb542, so rubbish, but also a fresh start.

Bb542 · 01/01/2024 08:42

@SC126 @Nic17 ah they both look like brilliant tests! So happy for you guys. Fingers crossed everything continues to go smoothly 🤞🏼❤️ keep us updated please!

@Applesandcake I totally understand how you feel. I also was so sick of testing. Keep us updated though and if AF doesn't show in a few days I definitely would test again.

I thought AF arrived last night but there nothing there this morning. I don't know what's going on 🤷🏻‍♀️ classic, the one time my cycle isn't regular and starts acting weird...
