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'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 think they look positive too. Congratulations 🎊🎊The clearblue with the red light is dont think are great. They didnt show up for me when I was pregnant 😊

@Mouche85 I also always have 2 lines on LH I think that’s usual.

@DownWithCremeEggsi would say all of those tests are positive! Did you test again today?

WishUponAStar4 · 15/06/2025 20:37

@mummm2 what CD are you now? How is your LH ?

@WishUponAStar4 CD10 today, predicted to ovulate CD15.
I’ve been testing LH 3 times a day (only because I’ve been home over weekend so slipping an afternoon one in too!)

It seems to be staying quite consistent though but always higher in evening

Oh they are quite consistent aren't they.

I only test twice a day closer the suggested peak day.

Hey all, jumping back in after my negative test a few weeks ago.. needed a little break from obsessing… but now it’s time to start obsessing again 🤣
currently CD11 and predicted to ovulate CD15. Things I’ve added since my negative tests: CoQ10 and NAC supplements and BBT tracking… fingers crossed for a positive this cycle!

how’s everyone getting on?xx

The break from obsessing does you good doesnt it. Im just on CD 5 now will start the LH tomorrow though because my cycle is a bit all over the place.

Hello and welcome 🙂. Best of luck in your TTC journey. Yeah on average ovulation occurs around cd14 + - a couple of days. Try dtd every couple of days should be enough. 🙂 do you track ovulation or just go by physical signs ?

Yeah really has given me a nice break and I feel a bit more stable and relaxed heading into this cycle! We’re just DTD as much as possible but also not pressuring (last month I was literally militant with it haha.. how romantic 🙃😵‍💫) so it feels a lot better now! Probably won’t be feeling relaxed when head into TWW but will try my best ahah.

sounds good to start testing a bit earlier if your cycles are a bit off atm! 🤞🏻🤞🏻

mummm2 · 18/06/2025 22:34

@Ttcaftertfmr good luck for this cycle! My BBT tracking has been rubbish the past few days as I’ve been up throughout the night.
Ive not heard of those supplements before, what do they target?

@WishUponAStar4 YAY. The start of your new cycle can begin and you can POAS again!

@leah247x welcome 🤗 try using LH tests to track ovulation, should help pin point your most fertile window!

@DownWithCremeEggs I am truly so sorry to hear your going through this 😞 so unfair x

@leah247x
Are you using OPK tests or tracking BBT to track ovulation

@leah247x

Have tried this… asked for advice on BBT tracking which is useful. Ovulation tests have had lines the last few days but fainter. I was due to ovulate on Tuesday but the lines are only just getting darker so maybe I ovulate late?! First month tracking so we will see!

SquadGoalz · 19/06/2025 12:38

@leah247x
When you track BBT you have to do it consistently every morning before getting out of bed and you will start to see a pattern and when your BBT rises and stay risen that usually signals ovulation it will then drop back down when AF arrives.

With OPK tests start testing a few days after AF and when the line starts getting darker start testing multiple times a day until it's darker than the control line. This will indicate peak ovulation will occur in the next 12-24 hours, once this happens your BBT should also rise

mummm2 · 19/06/2025 20:10

Absolutely no DTD in this heat 🤣 🥵 💀 good luck ladies!

Alex2022 · 20/06/2025 07:54

Hi ladies, hope everyone’s TWW is flying! Was wondering if anyone ever experienced spotting on CD 15 but also had a peak on fertility test that day? Thanks in advance x

It can happen. A bit of spotting when the egg is released. All normal, nothing to worry about

Itonlytakesone · 20/06/2025 19:20

@DownWithCremeEggsso sorry it’s so tough- I get it. No words just understand.
day 12 ovulate a day 14. Do I go for it or have a month off?

WishUponAStar4 · 20/06/2025 20:37

Are most of ye in the TWW or where are ye at ? Best of luck to ye all 😀. Im only on cd8 I think, been super busy so the days are going fast . Im dying with a cold and the heat isnt helping with it either. Hopefully will be gone before ovulation 🤣
