1dpo - Anyone want to join during the two week wait?

Hi all, currently 1dpo. Hoping for a lucky month. I lost my twin boys a few months ago at 29 weeks due to TTTS. Two days before this I had a beautiful scan and two perfect babies - only 6 weeks away from c-section. And two days after my scan - our world fell apart. I had no movement and all of a sudden, I was told one of my babies had no heartbeat and then four days later, we had to remove life support from his twin brother as he was so ill. My sons were beautiful, visually perfect babies who were so unlucky. I miss them terribly.

So Here I am 1dpo and hoping for the best. Would love the support from any other hopeful ladies and in turn I'll support ye too. Much luck to us all 😀

We’re in it together! I don’t feel positive this month! @MamaBee23

@CadoAvo you have a lot more self control than me! As it's only my little boy who sometimes eats breakfast, we don't really have 'adult' morning foods, so of course I just HAD to settle with chocolate spread on toast 🤭

@narwhalsarereal I feel like I'm out too. I wasn't as crampy this morning but when I was, it did feel more like period cramps. Still been a little nauseous though, but again, not as much.

Been extra emotional last night and today but my little boy did get injured today so could very easily be the reason for all today's tears 😟

My husband picked up a 6 day early test after work yesterday and I couldn't help but test this morning, BFN 🫤 trying not to get worked up over it for now though

Hi ladies, I'm 9dpo today and honestly driving me mad.
The vivid dreams and bad mood I have is not fun but I also have bad pms the week before my period.
Af is due Tuesday and thinking if it hasn't come by Wednesday ( v day) I will test then as that would be such an amazing suprise.

I do not wanna test before, my CP last month has scared me.
Sending so much luck to everyone xx

Think there's a few of us due AF Tuesday....fingers crossed for Valentine's surprises for us all

2BabyOrNot2Baby · 07/02/2024 20:43

@Ella31 @narwhalsarereal Thank you, he's at the age where he's interested in absolutely anything and everything and unfortunately, his poor little fingers and an integrated freezer door did not get along very well 😬 initially panicked that they were broken but thankfully not. Sods law that the one time I let him into the kitchen with me is the one time he plays with the door he never shows an interest in 🫠
The whole ordeal sounds so dramatic but still feeling very guilty over it 🥲

Hopefully you're all doing okay this evening 💕

Fingerscrossed88 · 07/02/2024 20:44

@narwhalsarereal awww I have to keep stopping myself from thinking what I would write in the card
How are you feeling? X

Sore boobs have come back, it's a weird feeling, almost like a stinging graze pain....it's really hard to describe.

No more sickness but I couldn't eat my favourite meal tonight, it just really didn't appeal to me

I just want to fast forward to Tuesday now

Fingerscrossed88 · 07/02/2024 20:50

@narwhalsarereal ahh sounds so promising!
What tests are you gonna use? I have some easy at home but I get evap lines soo bad eith them.

Thinking maybe just doing digital?

I've got a boots early test and a first response early test.

If I get a positive then I'll get a digital clear blue with the weeks on

Aw poor fella. Don't feel guilty. They get up to all sorts when they are small.

Doing ok this evening. Still have slight cramps but no period but shiny clear discharge that's sometimes cloudy

Also got evaps with easy at home last time. I really question these companies. Every clearblue test I've done this week has had a faint line but no progression so can only assume evaps and all were within three minutes. So disheartening

Beanie14 · 07/02/2024 23:33

I only ever get it the day AF starts so will be full on tomorrow morning I guess! This is deffo AF and not IB though.
Got my fingers crossed for the rest of you though Xx

Libbynznz · 07/02/2024 23:37

12dpo bfn no symptoms they all gone. Hate cycles like this false hope

narwhalsarereal · 08/02/2024 08:05

9dpo today and I've got a vile taste in my mouth and cramps again.

Don't want to get my hopes up still.

The evaps are so annoying 😣 I’ve used a relatively cheap brand from Amazon before, I think they’re called Ayumed or something similar? They’re pink dye so hopefully less likely to give evaps, I think. Fingers crossed for you x

meepthebeep · 08/02/2024 08:40

I logged my symptoms in Flo this morning (sore boobs, fatigue, increased appetite because I don’t normally eat until 9-10am and wanted to eat at 6.30 this morning), and it gave me a pop-up askimg if I wanted to switch to pregnancy mode. 🙄 like yes, I do, but not till I actually get a BFP to confirm it! It’s never done that before. I’m still worried that all the symptoms are in my head, in which case Flo will have been a big meanie. 11DPO today.

It sounds promising. I'm 11dpo too, bfn , except for past 4 days been getting light line on clearblue 6 days early within 3 minutes. Clearly an evap. Has anyone else experienced this?

Just want af to arrive now so I can think to next month. So disappointed though, thought I'd have a chance, did every other day and all around ovulation date.

@meepthebeep are you holding out taking a test?

I looked up the tests you recommended, not available in Ireland. We are so limited here since frer got taken off our shelves.

OP posts:
meepthebeep · 08/02/2024 10:13

@Ella31 that’s frustrating that they’re not available where you are, I’m sorry 😔 is it definite that the 4 x Clear Blues are evaps? Four seems a lot but I’m not very familiar with the Clear Blue tests. Is 3 minutes too soon for it to develop?

That’s kind of you to say it’s hopeful but I’m not convinced Flo knows what she’s talking about (mainly because I don’t trust myself not to be imagining the symptoms), but I’m also too scared to test in case it’s a BFN, and too scared in case it’s a BFP that becomes a BFN so a chemical 😕 I’m going to try and hang on as long as I can to see if AF turns up and go from there.

It's just they haven't developed at all. They're still very light.
