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 🙈

Aww I’m so sorry to hear ladies, it’s really not easy 😢😢 my period is 3 days late today but I am on holiday and unsure whether to test or not … I don’t want to get a negative and be upset for the remainder of the week .. also, I want to enjoy myself this week as it could be our last trip for a while! What do you think? Xx

I agree it's would proberly test so that I have the holiday to dostract me if negative. But I also think you should do.what feels right for you. Best of luck if you do test ♥️♥️

Thanks for having me! Tww is so lonely at times. So I’ve never had a positive ovulation test until this month, I track in the Premom app and it’s just never happened until this month! 🎉 I believe I’m 6dpo if I go by my peak on OPKs but I had the most painful cramps at around 5am on Saturday morning so I’m unsure if I go by then?

how are you finding this journey?

Yeah it can be so lonely. I love having people to talk to in the same situation. Oh thats amazing, you must be so excited seeing the positive test 🥰. Do you have any kids already or would this be your first ? .

Journey has been up and down. This is our 3rd cycle and had a chemical the first cycle. My 2nd cycle was then delayed and this cycle iv Been really sick 🤣🤣🤣

So hopefully next cycle il be back on track 🤣🤣

Husbands (in my case) or partners never quite get it😂 this would be my first! I’ve been trying since November but the pcos diagnosis came in March when nothing was happening 😂

oh bless you I’m sorry to hear that. My friend had several before her DS. The cycle gods are never on our side are they 😂 my peak ovulation day was when we had 31 degree heat so that was fun… not 😂

fingers crossed we both get our bfps this cycle and they stick 🙏🏻

No they dont. Not as much as we do anyway. 😊 it very different for them .

@chlxe97 good luck with this lucky egg you’ve found this month and hopefully it’ll encourage some more to come out if not. It’s a tough journey this thread has been my saviour.!

@WishUponAStar4iv got a DD too my ivf miracle. AF came today …and I was pleased because that build up to it was VILE ‘hormone horror’ ill call it. Can back up that the cycle build up post a chemical pg is to be warned about. Thinking about it I felt same feb after the chemical in jan. I’m glad you told me you felt same because I really needed to hear that the other day! Confused Definitely need a break and a holiday now 🫠

@Itonlytakesone thank you! Trying to remain positive but realistic as I know based on experience it doesn’t usually go my way 😂 This thread has been really lovely in this wait, it can be such a lonely time. I struggle with googling every symptom and ending up stressing myself so it’s nice to have you ladies here ❤️

@WishUponAStar4Oh that’s lovely!! How old is DD? At this point I’d be happy with twins 😂 Saves me doing this again in a couple of years! They always say you’re never out until AF comes.

chlxe97 · 08/07/2025 10:42

@Itonlytakesone sorry to hear about your chemical, as rubbish as AF is, I try to see it as a new chance to try again. Sending lots of baby dust ❤️

She is not long turned 1 . Haha yeah twins would be nice. They could keep each other company 🥰.

Yes this is very true I always say that to people too. But the cramps are telling me otherwise 🤣🤣

I can definitely see a faint line!! Do you track ovulation? You may have ovulated later than you thought. Definitely test again tomorrow 🩷

So I was thinking about this like how long sperm has to reach egg etc so ot is possible to ovulate later then the norm. I hope that it for you. I don't trust clear blue as had so many nad evap lines and always prefer a pink dye lol. Do another in about 6 hours xx

Yeah i do. I thought i ovulated on CD 13 (pain) but the app says CD 14 as the peak was on CD14 I am now CD 26. I didnt confirm ovulation with BBT or anything. These tests are notorious for evap lines too. Plus I'm cramping since yesterday like AF is coming 🙄

I second that with blue line tests. Easy at home test strips are my favourite, you can get them on Amazon in bulk with next day delivery

Im the same with clearblue but couldn't get anything else. I have some ordered alright but won't be here untill tomorrow. Af might come first though 🙄

It’s always a mystery on when ovulation actually takes place after a peak, this is my first one and I’m still unsure. Definitely get some pink dye tests and try again, hoping this is it for you!!

Thankyou I will let ye all know. I have that tiny tiny bit of hope but I think I know deep down its not it. With my DD I have a super super strong positive on the same CD as today 🙈

Morning ladies. How are we all? Im getting frustrated with AF. Im in no doubt shes coming as had cramps for 2 days and back pain but I wish she'd just show! Got a feeling will be a bad one as well. 1st one after mc wasn't to bad and tbh the whole mc itself i didn't bleed alot so this feels little like it's going to catch up with me 🙈 due on today so hopefully by tea shes reared her ugly head!
Baby dust to you all ✨️✨️
