Hello! Anyone just starting their TWW? There's a couple of other TWW threads going but it feels like they're a bit older now with people testing already. I'm 2DPO - anyone else early on?!

Morning all. I had a negative easy@home this morning. I'm either 10DPO if I ovulated after my first peak, or 8DPO if it was my second. I'm holding out some hope that I'm 8DPO and it's too early but I just feel like it's not my month. We will see. I'm finally feeling a bit better today after having covid since Friday so focusing on that.

Thanks @imy, I'm keeping my fingers crossed that it still happens for you this month. For what it's worth my FRER this morning was a stark negative bfn, but I've now done two cheapies both of which have faint lines, so I wouldn't necessarily count yourself out just based on a FRER alone

pbdr · 15/07/2024 09:42

Oh sorry just saw it was an Easy@Home test you did, not a FRER. I didn't get a BFP with my daughter until 12dpo so you're not out if you're only max 10dpo. Keep testing and hoping!

Thank you! That's really reassuring. I'm surprised about the FRER, I've always thought they were the best! I think because I got very clear lines on both an easy@home and FRER at 9DPO with my daughter it's hard to stay hopeful but we will see 😊

Keeping my fingers crossed for you @imy! And really glad you're feeling better too Smile

I'm 11DPO today and some tests have just arrived from Amazon so going to do one when I get home from work. I feel very pre-period-y so not feeling hopeful, but at least a test will say for sure and then I can forget until next cycle.

Grinchface · 15/07/2024 11:02

So sorry to hear that @Nic2908. Sending love and I hope you can do something nice for yourself ❤️

May100 · 15/07/2024 19:54

I've ordered some tests which should come tomorrow so I'll test on weds morning at 12dpo because I don't think I can hold out until 14dpo or period arrives 🙈. I knew I'd get my hopes up this cycle 🙈

May100 · 15/07/2024 20:26

Although I've just researched the proceive vitamins I've been taking and most of the 'symptoms' I thought I was having are likely down to the vitamins 🙄. I think I'll hold out for my period after all. What mean tricks our bodies play on us!

How did the tests go @Grinchface ?

Oh no! What sort of symptoms have you been having? You never know 🤞

OP posts:
imy · 16/07/2024 06:00

Morning all! Another negative for me at either 11DPO or 9DPO depending on which peak I ovulated from. I do now think it was the second peak but even so I think I'd a faint line by now but we will see 🤞🤞 will keep hoping for another couple of days x

@imy swollen and sore boobs - never get this, nausea. Both of these apparently can be side effects of the vitamins and this is my first month of using them 🙄. I've been getting cramps too but that is very usual for me. I always get that. I got my hopes up but this has knocked me back down to earth.

Grinchface · 16/07/2024 07:21

@imy negative, as suspected. But even though I thought it I'm still disappointed. Guess you have to have some hope though while you're trying!

Wondering if I should get some ovulation tests for next cycle just for added reassurance re timings.

Will you test again? Or wait for AF? I suppose still in with a chance until you know for certain!

I'm sorry @May100 So disappointing. But also, you haven't tested or started your next cycle yet so you absolutely still haven't a chance.

You definitely have to hope @Grinchface ! I will keep testing for a couple more days yes. I find that if I don't test I just obsess over it and then get really hopeful/nervous about it all. I'd rather just know (at least for that day) and then move on.

I'd definitely recommend testing for ovulation using LH strips. This month I ovulated about 5 days later than I'd expected. I would have missed my fertile window if I hadn't tested.

pbdr · 16/07/2024 08:28

Sorry to hear about the negative tests @Grinchface and @imy, but it's not over until AF arrives!

This is my test this morning :) I'm starting to believe it might be real!

@pbdr woohoo! Is that 10dpo? Amazing!

@May100 @imy Thank you! It's a surreal feeling, just hoping that it sticks 🤞

imy · 17/07/2024 07:07

Morning all, another negative test for me this morning. I also have some very light brown discharge which is unusual for me. I was hoping it might be implantation bleeding but realistically it's probably just a little bit of spotting before my period. Ready to move onto the next cycle now!

Hi everyone
So after my early ‘period’ I’ve been feeling so sickly, my breasts seem ‘swollen’ and quite tender, and I’ve just been feeling generally all over the place with my mood swings!
I decided to take a test this morning (with my second urine of the day because I forgot first thing!).
Does anyone else see a vfl or is it just me and my hopeful line eyes? X
