In the dreaded 2 week wait

Hello lovely ladies, wishing you all luck on your journey. Anybody else currently in the 2 week wait? It has to be the longest wait doesn't it? I am only 2 DPO and already want to test 😭. I know I will shortly start imagining symptoms now too 🙈

I actually tested LH for first time this cycle tonight. How long do you wait to read your test?
I quickly took a pic at 3 min mark it was 0.39 then forgot looked again at 20 min and it was 0.45 🤣 I know it doesn’t really matter at this stage but I guess I shouldn’t read after like 10 min?

@mummm2yeah it was such a long time ago and with a different partner so I don’t think it has anything to do with anything anymore tbh!! Testing on Sunday if I can wait that long

@FlyHighSky72what dpo are you now? Will you be due on Sunday?

FlyHighSky72 · 11/06/2025 22:00

@mummm2i think you read it after 5 mins - that’s what I’ve been doing for two cycles anyway.

FlyHighSky72 · 11/06/2025 22:01

@mummm2im 8dpo today/9dpo tomorrow. Will be 12 dpo on Sunday. Period is due on the 18th

i think that sounds about right tbh, I’ll delete the higher result from my app so it doesn’t skew my chart!!

eek not long to wait for you now.. 🤞🏼

Hello everyone! I'll be back herr in a few weeks hopefully after a MC.

@mummm2 how do you do to have numbers? Mine are just positive/negative with the little colour control/test bands

mummm2 · 12/06/2025 08:50

So sorry to hear you’ve had MC @Mouche85 😞

I use the Premom app to log my LH tests. Take a pic and it gives you a level

ill share a pic of mine from this cycle - only 2 tests so far!

Yeah i think it says to read them between 5-10 minutes. No later than 10.

AF finally arrived CD 33 . Never been so happy for it to come haha 🙈🤣. On to a new cycle 😊

FlyHighSky72 · 13/06/2025 07:37

Thanks @WishUponAStar4yeah trying to stay positive! Think I’ll do an easy at home cheapie and a FRER on Sunday and if they’re negative count myself out properly (I’ll be 12dpo then and AF due on the 18th)

yay for AF - when it comes late I know the relief of finally starting a new cycle!!

Itonlytakesone · 13/06/2025 08:11

@WishUponAStar4 amazing finally I’m relieved for you!

I wouldn't count myself out at 12dpo . Implantation can happen on 12dpo. At least give yourself 14dpo 😊

Yeah I'm actually delighted I'm not waiting anymore

FlyHighSky72 · 13/06/2025 10:46

@WishUponAStar4yeah maybe - I got my only positive ever at 12dpo with my DS 10 years ago so just feel like if it’s not positive then it probs won’t be!!!

mummm2 · 13/06/2025 11:54

@WishUponAStar4 so glad that cycles over for you! And you can start a fresh!

@FlyHighSky72 I think I can usually tell if I’m out or not by 12/13 dpo as I usually get the cramps and light spotting. Your definitely still in with a chance 🤞🏼

@Itonlytakesone how are you getting on?

Itonlytakesone · 13/06/2025 20:26

@mummm2im ok now thanks. It takes a while though almost a week to feel normal again post chemical. My new tests arrived did a quick one today 100%bfn so no lines to confuse me.

mummm2 · 14/06/2025 10:52

@Itonlytakesone at least you have some clarity now and can reset x

Ah thats great now though you know your starting fresh and not getting confused by faint lines. Hope you're feeling a bit better

Took a pregnancy test this morning and it was negative. Mixed feelings here as that's what we want to be able to start again but still ghad a little pinch in my stomach.

Followed with an ovulation test and it was already showing a faint line! Is it leftover from hormones or beginning of next cycle already?

I'm driving myself mad 😆 had a few positive FRER tests yesterday, but a CB early digital (the one with the red light on the end) was negative.

Took another red dye test this morning (Ovum whih is apparently less sensitive than FRER) with FMU and I feel like there's a second line? But then took another CB early with second morning urine (as I stupidly threw the first sample away) and negative again. Argh. Could it be that the second sample was too diluted?

I have always had 2 lined on LH strips and it is normal to have 2 lines. 😊
