May 2WW

[angielorna]

Yes, already!!! I know it's only May 2, but I DTD last night and am now begining the torturous 2WW.

Anyone else starting the 2WW wait soon????

Angie

[SamS_TTCPink]

I'll be attempting tomorrow so will be joining you after that! 😊

[angielorna]

Yay! How are you feeling?

[SamS_TTCPink]

Shockingly nervous!! 😜 Worried about not getting pregnant, worried about getting pregnant, worried about another boy!!

So scared of another loss but also trying to keep hold of the hope that the m/c will help sway pink.

Also nervous cause I've only been back on the diet etc for 2 weeks since the loss. Still, even though I was off LE when pregnant, I haven't really had red meat at all, not much fruit and little healthy fats. I was having breakfast and oats and obviously more calories though. Just hoping it didn't affect things too much.

[angielorna]

Being nervous is completely understandable. My personal opinion (not backed up by research, mind you) is that you are probably still in the "declining maternal" condition, given your slight additions to the LE diet and your loss. I cannot tell you how much I hope that you are blessed with a healthy pink bundle of joy very, very soon.
Fingers, eyes and toes crossed :)
Angie

[Boysway]

I'm already in the 2ww. My calculations I should be good to test in 8 days. Fertility friend's calculations I should test in 9 days.

I'm hoping to join in soon. Not sure when I will o. I have ewcm just now so hoping I will o soon. But my last couple of cycles I didn't o till cd23 which isn't till next weekend.

[Marika]

Hi ladies!

Glad you started this thread Angie!

I am also in the 2 ww, 4 dpo right now. My cycle has shortened so my "may attempt" was done last days of april (got two attempts in april!).

Days are going soooo slow and I am counting days until I can start testing! :poas:

Good luck to all of you!

[kitkat18]

Good luck everyone FX for some more BFP 's !! Xxxx

[SamS_TTCPink]

Well I guess I'm officially in the 2WW even though we didn't end up attempting last night.

My hopes aren't real high as we DTD Tues, pos opk was Fri and I think I ovulated yesterday as all CM is gone today. I probably won't even bother testing unless AF is quite late.

[Rosie85]

I am testing tomorrow, I had pretty bad cramps yesterday so I will check tomorrow. I will be 9dpo. If negative I will just keep testing every day like a crazy lady.

[Boysway]

Good luck Rosie :)

I think I might be in with a chance. CM has been a mix between sticky and eggwhite cm for the past three days :) maybe tmi but everything has usually dried up by now.

[SamS_TTCPink]

Goodluck both of you! Keeping my fingers crossed you both get BFP's! 😀

[FitBlonde]

I am now in the 2ww now, although I got a BFP with my son at 10DPO so will probably start testing then! Ahhhh it feels like forever, although I can't wait to hopefully get a BFP and go back to my regular healthy eating!

[angielorna]

Yay for testing, Rosie! Fingers crossed for you :) Why must the 2ww feel soooo long? It feels like I'm living my life in 2 week increments.
Good luck all!
Angie

[Rosie85]

test was negative but it's still early. I am not out yet.

Boysway I have the same stuff. Hoping it means something!

[3girlsnwaiting]

I am in the 2 WW too. Ovufriend says I ovulated on day 35 making me 4DPO. Fertility Friend states I ovulated on day 33 making me 6DPO. We only had 1 attempt in.

[belledandy]

[QUOTE=MumofSix_TTCPink;569014]Shockingly nervous!! 😜 Worried about not getting pregnant, worried about getting pregnant, worried about another boy!!

I totally felt the same way for a while but at this point, after 7 cycles, I think I just want to get preggo (with a pink bean of course!) The LE diet is so so dragging me down now.

I'm coming over from the April 2WW, on 11DPO and still too scared to test with only one digital test stick and really no symptoms, just a little breast tenderness which could be impending AF. I should know in a few days for sure if I hold out to my expected AF on Wednesday..or even earlier, pre-af spotting.

Ladies, good luck on getting a BFP this month. May the fourth be with you!

[Boysway]

Belledandy fingers crossed for you :D ROFL, "May the fourth be with you."

Hi everyone, I thought I'd join as I *think* I'm in my 2ww. BD on Friday night and had +OPK on Sunday so I left Friday's attempt at that. However I used Rephresh Sunday morning not realising I'd get a +OPK later that day and had already had my attempt so I hope I didn't kill them all off and I'm still in the running! Wishing good luck to everyone else in their 2ww :)

[Boysway]

Welcome luvmykiddies :) Good luck.

[SamS_TTCPink]

Goodluck luvmykiddies!

[Rosie85]

Well I tested, I think I am 10 Dpo today. Negative. Kind of bummed, hoping it's not the end. I know a lot of women don't implant until day 9 or 10 so if that's the case then it was too early to test.

[Boysway]

My last pregnancy I tested at 10 dpo, bfn. Tested at 12 dpo, bfp. There is still time :)

Sent from my GT-N7105T using Tapatalk

[Rosie85]

Boysway, yup! I normally implant day 9 or 10 so I assumed it would be early, just tested regardless, haha. I almost thought I saw the faintest line but I think my mind was playing tricks on me.

[belledandy]

Yes, boysway there is still time yet!

I just tested this AM at 13DPO, couldn't wait any longer, and a BFP!!! AAAHHH! The line came quick and it's not as dark as the test line but very visible. After having a chemical last November, I am super excited since this is my 7th cycle (though we've tried on and off since April of 2014) but definitely cautiously hopeful that this is my sticky pink bean. Have not even told DH yet, lol!

I thought I was a bit more emo than usual for PMS, bawling at a Toy Story 3 scene when Andy was ready to go to college, LOL!

Can't wait to hear good news from the rest of you!

[Marika]

Great to see some more ladies in here!

Belledandy: Huge congratulations!! Fantastic! Have you got any symtoms yet? :celebrate:

Rosie: I hope that faintest of lines is not imaginary and that you get those lines in a few days!!

[elise20]

Congrats, Belledandy!!! Very exciting :)

I got up at 6 am and tested, using FRER. BFN :( I was so sure it would be positive, as I felt so nauseous and my temp has been spiking.
Rosie- hopefully we're in the same boat and just tested too early. I am not 100% sure if I am 10 dpo or only 9, so who knows.

[angielorna]

Congrats on your BFP, belledanady!!! Very exciting :)
Angie

[angielorna]

So....my plan to was to DTD Thursday and Sunday ("almost" positive OPK Thursday), knowing the rest of the weekend was a wash (DH unavailable). I was too tired last night (as was he). I'm debating tonight. I'm concerned I've already missed the egg, but I keep getting twinges on my left side (wondering if it's O pain). I thought I was due to ovulate Sunday, which I think would have been perfect.

Do you think I should do a second attempt tonight? I mean, it would probably be too late, but just in case? If I do ovulate today, do you think there would still be enough swimmers around? I told myself I wasn't going to micromanage this attempt, lol, but I really want to be pregnant. I know one attempt is getting good results with every 4 days trailing behind.

In addition to pregnancy desire, I of course have girly desires too. I keep waffling back and forth. I've decided at this point that if I'm not preggo by my 36th birthday (July), I'm going to stop TTC and focus on the two beautiful boys I have now :)

Angie

[Marika]

Angie - I am no expert at all, but I think I would probably have made an attempt tonight. Even if a few of the swimmers from thursday are still alive I would wanna add some more. Maybe would have done a j & d as well.

Thinking there should be a reason why every 4 days are ok for girl sways and considered to give one attempt. GL!

Elise - I don't think you are out yet, it's still early! Fx!

I am 6 dpo and doing SO BAD on the diet. Have had cake & cheesecake three days in a row and pizza two days. Veggie, but still over limits. Today I am feeling awful - super touchy and irritated. Went to bed now (7.30 pm) just to not have to talk to anyone. Just wanna fast forward the days until I can test.

[Boysway]

Belledandy huge congratulations on your bfp :) May it be a sticky bean :)

Afm, my face has broken out so bad. This is not a normal thing for me. Cm isn't so much eggwhite now. My stomach has been a bit funny as well. I'm trying not to symptom spot. But, my stomach does tend to go funny when I get my bfp. No other symptoms though.

Angie I would BD asap as well no harm and it might get you a BFP!!
Good luck all xxxx

[belledandy]

Thank you ladies! I hope it's a sticky bean. My AF is expected this Wednesday and my last chemical only went a few days past my expected AF. Marika, the symptoms I had weren't obvious and could've been mistaken for PMS too. I did get tender breast from 10DPO, stuffy nose, gassiness (tmi, sorry!) and pimples on my chin (which is rare for me to get pimples). I was really emotional and DH mentioned I was a bit sensitive and I have been falling asleep with my boys when I put them to sleep. I usually get up though.

Elise, 10DPO is still early. Hoping 11 or 12DPO will show a BFP for you.

Boysway, you're not out unless AF shows!

Mariko, I starting cheating on the supposed O day with a big burrito (didn't mean to though, lol) and then the rest went downhill.

Angie, I would give it another try too (but same as the other ladies, no expert here!) I did two attempts, one on the day of the first +OPK and then another one two days later, when my CM turned creamy (maybe O+12?). I hear eggs can live up to 12 hours after ovulation. Good luck!

[SamS_TTCPink]

Yay!! Congrats belledandy! Knew May would be your month! 😉 Fingers crossed it's a sticky pink bean. 😀👍

[FitBlonde]

Congrats belledandy!!

[Boysway]

My temp did a massive drop today, I sure hope it's implantation. I would love to blame my horrible skin on something! A bfp would be the perfect reason ;)

[Rosie85]

I wish I would have been temping. I am 10 or 11 dpo today and another BFN for me. Hoping I am 10 dpo, it would give me more hope. ha.

[elise20]

BFN for me too, Rosie. Here's hoping for tomorrow!

[Rosie85]

bummer Elise, fingers crossed for both of us for tomorrow! Is your AF due friday??

[fivebabies]

Huge congrats belledandy!!!! That is so exciting!!

So many waiting this month! :)

I'm finally, officially in the 2WW! Was taking B6 and it delayed O (usually CD20) until CD23. I have a short LP (7 days) so I will wait and see if AF is late but probably will wait to test. Not much hope for a BFP but I am giving myself one more cycle to ttc. So I'm not too concerned.

So excited for this month for you all! I want pics of t he BFPs!!!!!

[elise20]

Rosie- it's due Saturday. Are you having any weird symptoms? I have been feeling nauseous on and off, temp a little higher than normal, stuffy nose, and slightly sore BBs. Mainly, I have felt "off" for the past couple of weeks. Kind of foggy. If I'm not preggo, then I don't know what's going on with me! :happy:

[angielorna]

still lots of time to get that BFP!

Okay, back in the 2ww. Did an "attempt" last night (4 days after our real attempt). I'm hoping beyond hope that one of them catches the egg!!! I was supposed to O Sunday, might have been Monday....who knows. So I guess that makes me 1-2 DPO. Is it too early to test?

haha,
Angie

Angie

[Rosie85]

Elise I have had some cramping and such. A stuffy nose and sore throat but everyone is sick so I don't count it. Nausea here and there but no sore boobs or anything, just some tingling. I am just not really feeling it. I expect to see more BFN's and AF soon.

[angielorna]

I wish this site had a dislike button (something I've often wished about FB too). I'm sorry to hear of your husbands appendicitis, Kitkat, hoping for a speedy recovery (and no missed attempt). I didn't know peppermint tea could delay ovulation :s I've been drinking it like a crazy woman!

I hope all those who are expecting AF get a pleasant surprise of double lines when they test (or test next). It could happen!!!

Sheesh, don't you wish TTC was easier? Or that a person could just decide when it was time get pregnant and *poof* it happens?

Oddly enough, the first day I could test, I will be away on training with my BOSS who is adament I not have anymore children (she threatened to tie my tubes herself before I even HAD kids). I know it's not her call, but it's an office joke how she dislikes it when her staff end up pregnant. It's kind of funny and I wouldn't be overly concerned, but we are in the middle of a ministry directed redesign of all services in our district....and there is a possibility I may not have a job after maternity leave (deemed redundant). EEEEKKKK. Anyway, that was more info than required :P

Fingers, eyes and toes crossed we all get our BFP ASAP!

Elise and Rosie - I hope you get those two lines! Testing again today?

Boysway - fx for you!


I am now 8dpo. Couldn't resist taking a test this morning but it was neg. I know it's early but I confess I am an poas addict ;-)

Yesterday afternoon I got a tiny tiny pink discharge (not sure if that what it's called?) and this morning I had some as well. I am of course hoping for an implant bleeding but I have had early spotting the other cycles ttc so is very likely it's only spottings.

Will probably test again tomorrow unless the spottings turn to an super early AF.

[Marika]

Went to toilet again and there was some more blood when I wiped. Not a lot, but now more red/brownish than pink (sorry tmi).

Really, if this is spottings and they keep starting as early as 7 dpo there can't be any good chances of pregnancy, right?

What can be done to get rid of them? They started when I started taking vitex, but this cycle I havent taken any at all and cycle before that I took it only a few days and half dose.

[yogi&booboo]

Hi Marika,
I really really hope this is implantation bleeding for you. There are a lot of Women who get it as early as 6dpo. I started spotting at 8dpo. I would spot dark brown and pinkish on and off never a full flow. Sometimes I would only see it when doing a cervix check *sorry tmi* and today I am today at 15 dpo now officially CD1 my af showed her ugly face today. You might be lucky and this could be ib. Keeping my fingers crossed for you.

Sent from my SPH-L900 using Tapatalk

[SamS_TTCPink]

Hoping it's implantation Marika! Fingers crossed for you.

[Marika]

Thanks yogi and Mumofsix. I hope so too, but I don't feel very confident. First cycle I had spottings like this I was hopeful, but now I know it can just stay like this until AF arrives.

It's not much and I only see it when "looking for it" but I would really wan't it to stop by now. I am not sure how IB is supposed to be and I guess they are different for everyone, but the more blood I see I doubt it's IB.

[kitkat18]

Really hope its IB marika!! I had it with my second DS and it was one drop of pink after BD cycle day 7 but im sure its different for everyone....last cycle I had mid cycle spotting too wierd!! Atomic thought mine might be the diet as I don't take vitex....again hope its IB for you we need some good news for us gals who have been here a while xxxxxx

[Marika]

Thanks kitkat and daisymoo, I won't give up yet.

I had ib last pregnancy but didn't know It was an ib until later since we weren't actively ttc. It was for one day or something and at first pink, then a little bit red and the *poof* gone. I thought I was havning an early period but didn't think more about until I suddenly realized my period never came and I got a bfp.

How long after an implantation would the hcg be out in the urine and noticeable on a stick? Is there any meaning eve testing tonight? Or does it take several days?

[daisymoo]

I think it's usually 48 hours later that it would turn up positive. So maybe wait a day or two (if you can!)

Marika- that really sounds like ib!!! :) So exciting to have little clues showing up :) I've heard that it can take up to 3-4 days before HCG would show up on a urine test after implantation, so don't stress if you don't get a positive right away.
11 DPO and a BFN for me (on a dollar store test.) I am going to try to resist and not test again until Saturday (when AF is due) Waking up to BFNs every morning is not a great way to start the day.

[Rosie85]

Hey ladies, I tested today, I think I am 11 dpo. I got a super faint line. I am pretty sure it is BFP because I do NOT feel good. I am on day 3 of a major headache which is a typical early pregnancy thing for me and I am super nauseous. So I am going to say it's a very very light BFP. Will test again tomorrow or next day to get a brighter line. Hopefully I am not all crazy like and just seeing an evap line but I didn't see it the other day when I tested. I did a frer and a wondfo test. wondfo was negative though, I didn't see anything on it. Does that make it a higher chance of an evap line for the frer??

[daisymoo]

I held the test up to the light, there is a def line! I am going to take a digi test on friday--2 days--to make sure! hoping this is really it, I kind of can't believe I got pregnant if I am...we did it standing in the shower with a second batch, gosh what are the odds??

I can't wait to see your follow up pictures.

Angie

[Rosie85]

angie, yes it is almost shadow like! I can only see it myself if I look closely. I thought it was negative at first but then about 5 minutes after peeing on it I saw the shadow of blue show up. I am 11 or 12 dpo depending. I think I am only 11 though I had cramping for two days so I will just assume the egg was the second of the two days.

I shouldn't have been testing but I can't help it! The only reason I used a frer was because my last two i.c's were bad or at least I thought they were. They didn't work at first.

[angielorna]

last month I started testing at 5dpo, knowing full well it was FAR FAR too early. Went through about 15 dollarstore tests (and 2 FRER). Ooops.

Angie

[Boysway]

Omg, what wonderful news to wake up to. I can't wait to see those lines get darker Rosie :D

My temp is still up this morning. Cramping feels a little worse. Breasts are tender at the sides but that could be nothing. Strange though, I've woken with pins and needles in at least one hand past two mornings and *TMI* had diarrhea on and off but at least once a day for the past 3 days (not today as yet, hopefully not either).

[fivebabies]

Dang!! This is FAST moving thread! LOL! But that's great! I am an impatient person. ;)

Yogi&booboo- Shoot! I was thinking you said 1DPO not CD1. :( Sorry AF showed up! Grrrr.

FitBlonde- Yay! can't wait to follow you! :)

Marika- Sounds like IB to me too! Hope that's what it turns out to be! Eek!!! FX!!!

Rosie- Yay!!!!! FX that's your bfp! I never trust blue dye tests anymore but I bet you see more in real life! Can you post a pic of the other test for us to obsess over?? :)

[coocoobananas]

Boysway, sides of breasts is good! I remember mine were just the nipples but when I internet searched everyone who was pregnant felt stuff at the sides so I kept poking myself there but felt nothing lol! And I had diarrhea on and off so fx for you!

[belledandy]

Wow, this thread is happening with some very hopeful and good news!

Rosie, a big CONGRATS!!! I hope to see the line get darker for you!!!

Marika, hope it is IB for you. I've never had it, so don't know much about it, but I do get spotting pre-af a lot. I've since taken some B6 to help with spotting but to be honest, I don't notice any difference.

Boysway, hoping the breast tenderness is a positive sign! My first signs were around 10DPO with breast tenderness from the bottom, lol. I guess they can happen anywhere for different woman?

Good luck everyone else!

[Boysway]

OMG! Add swear word here! Btw, no bfp before I continue. I took the manual override off FF and it put my ovulation as the same day I thought it was which is the day of my +OPK. WOOOO HOOOOOOOOOO!!! So, now I am 11 DPO :) and in for a MUCH higher chance :D :D :D

[FitBlonde]

Congrats Rosie!!!

[Boysway]

Rosie, I tend to get light headed while pregnant as well. You will probably find it's your bsl dropping. Try having something to eat and drink. :) So excting.

[essnce629]

Jumping in over here for the first time from the May TTC thread!

Yay Rosie!!!! Congrats and I hope you get a darker line tomorrow. How exciting!!!

Marika- I hope your spotting is implantation bleeding. I've heard it's most common on 7 or 8dpo (same as an implantation dip) and that you should get a BFP two days later. Fingers crossed for you!

Boysway- good luck to you too! Looks like you have a good chance now!


I'm only on CD3 so I still have about 12 more days till O. Trying to buckle down and be super strict with my LE diet and exercise every day. Good luck to everyone!!!!

[SamS_TTCPink]

Yay Rosie!!! Sounds like a definite BFP to me. So excited for you!! 😊👍

[Rosie85]

Thanks mum!

Dh came home to look at it and he says he could really see the line! I am not crazy after all. He said he won't get too excited or accept it as for sure until we get a darker one or a positive digital. Speaking of...I only have a digital left, I am so bummed. I don't think I should use it tomorrow, that I should wait another day to ensure it registers as positive but I really want to test tomorrow too. I want to go buy some regular tests now. haha

[Abifasc]

Oooo Rosie yay!!!

[Boysway]

I wasted my digital today :( Stupid idea. Ladies, I am officially a POAS addict! I swear I see an extremely faint second line on my IC HPT. I definitely have a faint second line on OPK's. Unfortunately, 2nd line on IC HPT doesn't show up on a pic. Grrr, silly obsessive tendencies!

Rosie, If you see that line on two tests and your husband sees it as well, then I think they are real! I can't really see much on your picture but I know those faint first lines are almost impossible to catch on camera. Looking forward to see your following tests!! I truly believe you are pregnant!

Boysway - that sounds so promising!! I admit being :poas: too! Fx you get a stronger line!!

I think I'll test tonight (9 dpo) if I don't start bleeding heavily before then. I have seen some more blood when looking for it but it's more brownish than fresh red. Doesn't mean a lot since that is how the spottings have been as well.

The only possible "symptom" I could point out by now is sleeping bad. When I am pregnant my biggest problem (worse than the nausea and back ache) is that I can't sleep at night. I wake up after 4-5 hours and can't fall back a sleep. Last two night have been like this, waking up at 2 am wide awake. Last night I also had a really bad headache and night before I was frozen and felt like I was gonna cath the flu. So these could absolutely be the reason to why I am awake, but since I am in the 2ww everything can be analyzed and picked apart in the chase of symptoms ;-)

[Boysway]

Fingers are still crossed for you Marika :) Maybe too early to POAS. I know I wish I hadn't tested early. Especially knowing I didn't get my bfp for my last bub till I was 12 dpo.

[angielorna]

Good luck Rosie and Boysway!!! Can't wait to see your updates this morning :)
Angie

[angielorna]

Out of curiousity, at what DPO did you start experiencing symptoms? I'm symptom free, only a few DPO (3-4). I cannot remember when symptoms creep in. My last 2 pregnancies were unplanned though I knew both times I was preggo before the test turned positive (I was testing and waiting), but don't think it was symptom related.

Angie

[Rosie85]

I had to pee super super bad this morning, I couldn't hold it long enough to even open the digital test if I wanted to. So if I happen to go to the store I might pick up a non digital one and use it later. Sorry to disappoint! I am having a really hard time not using the digi stick today...I feel like it would come up negative though so I am fighting the desire.

[Rosie85]

So does anyone break open their digital tests after getting a negative?? I broke mine open...it shows the dark blue control line and then there was a super faint blue test line, just like my frer. I am assuming they work the same as all tests. Any that can confirm this?? Now I am way too tempted to take my other digi and just break it open if negative again.

[Rosie85]

18681

This was inside the digital. Barely a line yesterday and now this today. Is it trustworthy? I'm pretty sure they have to be the same darkness to get a positive but if it's darker than yesterday's maybe that's good enough??

[fivebabies]

I did the same this with a digital for my last pregnancy Rosie!!! You are SO PREGNANT!!!! Congrats!!!!!!!

[fivebabies]

I took a digital, said not pregnant so I tossed it. 2 days later I got a faint BFP on a FRER so I dug the digi out of the garbage and cracked it open...mine was even lighter than yours!

That is so exciting!!!!! Huge congrats Hun!!!

[fivebabies]

Here was mine from the last baby....top was the BFN on the digital. The other 2 were bfp on digitals.


18682

[Rosie85]

Thanks five, I am a little nervous because online it says all over that digi tests always have two lines show up and to not trust them...but my line yesterday was barely there and now today it is pretty dark. It's also a target digi, not like the one that tells you how far along or anything. I think I will sneakily buy another box of frer today. I feel awful for wasting all of this money!

[Rosie85]

oh wow, so it does seem like it does get darker and darker. Thanks!! This makes me feel pretty good. You said the top one--the negative one you didn't pull out until a while later? The one I took yesterday I didn't pull out until this morning so I will wait and see if the new one I just took dries out and practically disappears too.

[odd]

Rosie. You are soooo pregnant. Have that celebratory meal!! Big fat congrats ...:-):-):-)

They don't work the same. I think I read that on the old pee on a stick.com. Apparently the digital always has 2 lines (sorry to disappoint). I didn't read the other responses before I responded. So ignore me if your question was answered.

Angie

[angielorna]

I second the go out and buy some FRER. It's not wasted money!!!! It's for (hopefully) some peace of mind (and a celebration)!!!

Angie

[Rosie85]

does it count though if the line gets darker??

[angielorna]

Honestly, I don't know the answer to that. I'm hoping it means a good bean is growing in you :)

I am dragging my littles out to the store again after little number 3 wakes up from a nap. I feel like a crazy woman.

[Abifasc]

Eek so exciting Rosie!!

[WantingPink]

Rosie sound like you are PG!! Oh if you only knew how many times I made trips to the dollar store and Walmart to pick up more HPT... it would make you feel much more sane:) Of coarse you should go and pick of a FRER and it isn't a waste of money. It is piece of mind!! I always confirm with a FRER but then I do a progression with the IC, Walmart, or dollar store brand (or sometimes a combo of them cause I am that kind of crazy!). Can't wait to hear your update and post pictures!!

[Marika]

Wow Rosie, since lines are getting darker between the tests I would also say you must be pregnant!!


I have taken no less than TWO tests this afternoon/evening.

At 4 pm I got a super super super faint *something*, like a shadow. It could not be caught by camera. POAS addict as I am, I decided to take another one 3 hours later, like 40 min ago.

This time it was sliiiightly stronger (or maybe urine was more concentrated) but still only *something*, I cant really call it a line.

I tried to catch it on camera, but it's almost impossible. Probably because I can barely see it myself, but dh also admitted seeing *something* that wasn't there two days ago.

I'll post a pic just to let you have a look, but I totally expect you to see nothing. (Only 9 dpo!)

18691

[sweetdream]

I've had the same line in the past months Marika they are too far on the left. The color has slide a side. I was so disapointed AF showde. This can happen if you move the test while still wet.

I hope you get a BFP soon.



I've also learned the digital stripes are not to be trusted. But it sounds pg. Good luck testing.

[yogi&booboo]

Marika,

I definitely see something. I hope you get a strong positive soon.

Rosie,

Your tests look promising. Last I tested on a digital which was a bfn and I open my tests and saw two lines. I hope your tests end with a bfp :)

Thanks sweetdream, I did move the test while it was still wet, didn't know this could happen! It is in the middle of the "area" though when I look at it, the test is a bit angled on the pic. I know it is early though and I don't consider it even close to a positive. I'll take a new one in a few days and make sure I don't run around with it!

What really makes me a doubtful about this month is that I still have remains of the spottings (if they are not new...) Shouldn't they be gone by now if it was ib?

[angielorna]

Oh Marika! I hope it's your BFP coming soon!!! Are you going to try and hold out until tomorrow to retest? I don't know anything about IB, but I'm hopeful for you.

Have you got your new tests yet, Rosie?

I have to live vicariously through you all for the next week. Ugh, well, 3-4 days down, 7 to go until I can test. I'm really going to try and not test until 10 DPO, but we shall see what the future holds :P

Angie

[Marika]

Angie, I'll test at the earliest tomorrow, it's already 8.30 pm here :-) So not so many hours since that last test, it wont have changed a bit.

Hope these days passes quickly for you, it's like every day has the double amount of hours during 2ww!

[Rosie85]

Went and got a box of two. I am just waiting to have to pee now! eeek I got the pink dye ones this time. Good ol trusty pink dye. Don't fail me now!!

[sweetdream]

Does this one show up better?

[Rosie85]

It looks twice as dark on my end so that's good. Haha. This is also with my 4th pee of the day. I didn't think it would show up at all!

[sweetdream]

Its def there! On my mobile it's better to see then on the comp!
Congrats dear! How many Days past O are you?

[Rosie85]

Thanks! Yeah it showed up better on my phone too, less glare. I believe I am 12 dpo now! I still can't believe this.

[sweetdream]

In two days you have a big FAT! positive! congrats!

[coocoobananas]

Rosie you're hilarious! I thought you were going to wait? Well I'm glad the tests didn't torture you and you can see a line!!
You're totally going to have a girl;)

Thanks Angie!

I already updated it! I am bored here. DS3 is napping and the other two are laying down. We are under a tornado watch so I am just chilling and waiting for something bad to happen or not.

[Rosie85]

I hope you see a positive too!! My fingers are super crossed for you Angie!


Boysway--any update??!!

[Boysway]

Bfn for me at the moment. My big temp dip happened on 9 dpo. Apparently can possibly be picked up 3-4 days after that. If it was indeed an implantation dip. So, maybe I just tested one day too early.

[Pinktink]

Hi everyone! We made our attempt last night. FF are now saying I Oed yesterday so it puts me at 1dpo. We swayed pink. I'm a bit nervous as I had no ewcm, only watery and today I have ewcm. I'm hoping it's going to be our pink month as I cannot keep up the diet for much longer! Good luck everyone!

[essnce629]

I totally see that line Rosie! Congrats again!

Marika-- I see your line easily too! Hope you get a darker line tomorrow!

And good luck to you Pinktink!!!

Yay Rosie!

Congrats Rosie!!! So glad I have another lady to stalk now...lol.

Those last lines are beautiful Rosie!! :flowerz: Congratulations to the bfp and a great sway!!


I am not feeling positive about my own result this month. Still spotting, take it as a bad sign :-(

[sweetdream]

How long are you spotting Marika?

I was trying to stay away from here. I always want to be in all the way. and notice. such a thread goes to fast and I cannot respond to everyone..

But were I was all calm this month. not much on this site..
I'm pretty nervous now.
It's my fourth month TTC. and I've had months with all kind of symptoms. last month with none. so I knew I wasn't pg. still tested. had a runner. and the months before that I've had tests that came up with false faint lines (wich I could capture on film too!) but in the end all negative. (different brand from now on)

but now.. I'm not feeling wel for a couple of days.. there some bug going around here so might be that. Since yesterday I've started to feel pains in my lower back and belly. Pee more often. so guess it might be a irritated bladder..
or.... also I've got stretchy feelings in the groin area's and upper legs.. could also be from doing nothing.

Since yesterday my boobs are sore.. when my son is using me as a climbing frame it really is uncomfterble. (and I'm pretty used to be that for him LOL)

and then again it could be a sign AF is showing next week. AF should be wednesday. so.. can't test till monday.. this gonna be a long weekend.

Hope my head isn't taking a run with me...

[Marika]

Sweetdream - I started spotting 3 days ago, 8 dpo. Or well, I had a slight pink(-ish) discharge 7 dpo but that wouldn't have been noticed unless I would really have looked for it. I tend to very easily bleed also during pregnancy due to a very sensitive cervix, but I believe these bleedings comes from more inside.

Anyways, took a new test this afternoon. Nothing. Not even as visible as yesterday.

Feel a bit bummed - have a feeling that spotting can cause me problems when they start this early.

The other months with spotting AF has started around 10 dpo (which I am at today) so we'll see if that happens this cycle too.

So fed up with diet right now, decided to make my kids happy and had a real cheat meal tonight; french fries and veggie wrap from Mc Donalds AND some chocolate. Now I am gonna have a glass of wine (or two since I am not pregnant...). Back to LE tomorrow.

[daisymoo]

Well you deserve that glass of wine Marika And if you are pregnant you're still allowed a glass of wine At least you are in Ireland! Go ahead enjoy it. And your Mc Donalds treat sounds lovely. I had a Mc Donalds last Sunday Nothing like it! :)

[Rosie85]

Sweet- I bet this is your month hun. I have my fingers crossed for you. You are experiencing all of my symptoms I have so that is a good sign!

[3girlsnwaiting]

So I broke down and took a FRER Gold today and got a no. FF has me at 11 DPO and cycle day 44. This has been my longest cycle ever. I was feeling so nauseous today. The last couple days my dog and/or my 21 month old has woken me up at 2ish or 4ish. Perhaps I am getting sick from lack of sleep.

[Rosie85]

Bummer 3girls, maybe tomorrow?? If it was digital they take longer. My digital said no while my ones with lines were positive.

[elise20]

Congrats again, Rosie! So exciting!! :) :)

[Boysway]

Another bfn for me. I will try to hold out till AF is overdue now.

[Marika]

What dpo are you on Boysway?

[Boysway]

Marika, I am 13 dpo today. It's currently 10:53pm where I am in Australia so, 14 dpo when I wake. My longest luteal phase is 13 days.

Sent from my GT-N7105T using Tapatalk

[sweetdream]

Good luck Boysway!

Marika did you test yet?

I'm 10DPO now. and the faith of getting a BFP is sliding away. I think I feel everything i felt fot months..
Just have to wait. I hope I can control myself and Won't test till monday...
But I think I'm not PG.. and the feeling here we go again is crawling up again.. sigh.. it's so hard swaying.. RESPECT! fot those who did this so long...
it feels like an eternety

[Marika]

Boysway - but your AF has not arrived? That sounds like a good sign! I am really hoping this will be your month!

Sweetdream - At 10 dpo I don't think you should lose hope! My fingers and toes are crossed for you!

And yes I tested this morning with smu. I did get a very very faint line but even dh admitted seeing it after looking closely. I don't wanna consider it a positive yet though, have to see if it gets stronger. What I did like with it even if it was super faint was that it came up within time, seemed to "fill" the test area better than before and that the color was more of a pinkl tone than just a grey shadow.

Have had a little spottings, but only when I go looking for it. This part is what makes me most pessimistic, I don't like the presence of blood in combination with ttc or pregnancy. Although I have bled/spotted almost every day in all pregnancies from week 5 to 16 or more it stresses me a lot.

Last night my hope for this month was almost gone, but this morning I got it back just a little. Try not to get hopes too high or go symptom spotting, don't wanna get too disappointed when/if AF shows up (obviously inevitable!).

[SamS_TTCPink]

Marika I really hope that faint line gets darker for you and it in in fact your BFP! I know what you mean about the spotting/bleeding though, it is nerve wracking at any time during pregnancy. It does sound like it's "normal" for you during pregnancy though so still keeping my fingers crossed for you. x

[Marika]

Thanks mum! Yes it is "normal" and I know my cervix is very sensitive and gets extremely sensitive during pregnancy, but it has always started after a week or so, now I have had them since 7-8 dpo without stopping.

I have a good feeling for you, you conceived so fast last time and if I am not wrong it isn't uncommon to be extra fertile after a m/c! Fx!!

Sounds promising!!! do you ever test in the eve/during the day? Or you going to be strong and wait until the morning now? Good luck and I hope your line gets stronger. I am of the opinion that a line is a line is a line.... :P

Angie

[Marika]

Angie - I've tested some afternoons and evenings as well. Did yesterday evening but it was fainter than in the morning. Thats when I lost hope, but then this morning it was stronger again.

I also believe that a line is a line etc, but this is really barely a line... or no, I wouldn't call it a line. Maybe a beginning to what might become a line.

When I can see it from standing, lying flat on the table without angling or so, I'll call it a line ;-)

How many dpo are you now?

[angielorna]

haha, okay. I know what you mean :) I hope when you test tomorrow (or next), it is an undeniable LINE! That you can see from feet away!

I don't know, I think I'm somewhere between 5-6 DPO. I'm not experiencing any symptoms and EVERY time I go to the bathroom I think, am I peeing more? SMH. On the plus side, I haven't unnecessarily tested yet. I'm really hoping to make it until Friday without having a POAS party. Then I'll be 11-12 DPO, I think.

For now, I will live through all those (yourself included) who are at a point where POAS may actually tell you something good :)

Angie

[Marika]

I'll let you ladies have a look. It's from this morning, 11 dpo. Picture is taken with my cell phone and the camera is not great so the quality is pretty poor, especially colors. Everything looks kind of greyish. Do you see anything at all or am I trying to trick myself?

18725

Sorry, got two images in, can't really get one away.

[Marika]

Angie Oh those first days are sooooo long! At 5-6 dpo I start finding reasons to why I should test already. My husband thinks I am crazy, if he only knew how many tests I have used! I show him maybe one or two, but the rest is hidden! :-)
It's like having favorite candy at home, once it's there I can't resist having it.

[sweetdream]

Marika! Thats a LINE!!!! Congrats!

[angielorna]

I call it a line as well :) i was looking at it on the computer and switched to my phone...better on my phone for sure! I can't wait to see it get darker :)
Congratulations!!
Angie

[angielorna]

My DH doesn't even know when I test. I took over 15 tests last month. As far as he knows, I didn't take ANY.

So excited for you!
Angie

[Marika]

Really Angie and sweetdreams?! Do you think that is a line?

:pray:

I am trying to stay realistic here but when you say like that I do get my hopes up. Will test again tomorrow and maybe get another brand just to make sure it isn't something wrong with the tests :-)

Angie - It is addictive, isn't it? :-D

[essnce629]

Marika-- that's totally a line! I see it easily without even having to zoom in on my phone! I'd say get a FRER test. I bet you'd get a great line on there! Congrats! !!!

Yes! It is addictive. And I second the FRER plain jane test (meaning not digital). Oh my, I can't wait to see!!!!
Double lines when you are TTC'ing is the most beautiful of sights ;)

Had to google "frer", haha! It's the brand you use for early tests right? We don't have them here in Sweden unfortunately. We do have a brand for early tests (measures 10 hcg) but they are lousy. I've tried them and they didn't really give any clearer lines than the normal ones measuring 25.

I'll go to the farmacy though and get the best one that is available (non digital).

BFN here...

[Boysway]

Sorry about your bfn sweetdreams. Fingers crossed that changes soon.

[Marika]

Sorry sweetdreams :-(

I wish I could update you with a new picture of a stronger line but I can't. :-(

This morning I took a test with smu (waited about 45 minutes) and it was negative. I could see where line was supposed to show up, but it didn't. Urine was not very dark so I decided not to drink anything and wait 3 hours and have a new test with other brand.

I bought clearblue (+) and took both that and the other test I use. At first the clearblue seemed negative, but after 15 minutes both me and dh thought we saw something coming up. Then it seemed to be gone and in desperation I picked the test apart.

Looking only at the thin test strip we both clearly see a blue line (the one that is vertical in the +). I put the test together again and we still see the line, but did picking it apart start a reaction that could create the line? Cause it seemed to be clearer outside from the test.

I know I sound like a maniac and I do feel like one. I think I'll just throw all of these used test in the trash and wait until tuesday and see if AF shows up. So stressed and bummed right now! And oh, the other internet cheapie I took at the same time with the clearblue was a little stronger than this mornings (that showed nothing more or less), but not stronger or maybe not even as "strong" as yesterday.

Not very optimistic here (unless someone knows more about the clearblue thing?).

Anyone else about to start testing soon?

Marika I feel your stress! Those last few days of 2ww can be torture. There was definitely a line yesterday so maybe wait for another day and do another test. Hcg only doubles every 48 hours so it might not show up on another test until tomorrow. It's hard not to test though I know!!! Best of luck for tomorrow x

Thanks daisymoo. I have another CB PLUS that I can take tomorrow. Will not test any more today, I am turning into a nervous wreck. I wonder how much this stress and testing sways blue? Probably worse than having cereal and a big steak :-S

Right now the light cramps (aching) that I've more or less had since o have changed into feeling like AF if gonna show up any minute.

Oh well, I'll just have to wait. Will try to stay away form computer rest of the day just to get my stress levels down.

[angielorna]

Marika, I'm so so sorry you didn't get a stronger line today :( I've got my fingers, eyes and toes crossed that AF stays away and your bfp shows up on tomorrow or tues test!!!

[Marika]

(Coudn't stay away after all...)

Angie, I am bleeding a bit. Not more than spotting but since I have the cramps I am preparing for full flow very soon.

I just wanna show you the Clearblue test, the one that got "positive" after time was out and when I opened it (on the pic I had put it together again). What makes the line come through after like 20 minutes? Do all CB:s get lines after a while? I know that tests are supposed to be looked at within 10 minutes and then thrown away. Everything after 10 minutes is to be considered as false.

I haven't really used them a lot, I think once before but that was positive right away.

[Marika]

And now I think the wich has arrived :-(

Out for sure.

[sweetdream]

Hug Marika!

[angielorna]

OMG, Marika....that looks positive to me....but I don't use the blue dye tests. I've broken open LOTS of pregnancy test...never once did it make it positive. I'm sorry the witch has shown....I can't believe it after all those tests. Hugs to you.
Angie

[Marika]

Angie, I know, I almost regret taking it. If that would have been my only test and I wasn't bleeding I might very well have thought I was pregnant. I red a post from Atomic the other day where she wrote that a line is a line, even if it comes up after the test time and that evap lines may occur HOURS after that but that they are rare.

That sounded kind of promising, but I am convinced I am not pregnant now. Maybe something was about to become a pregnancy but that didn't. The bad part of trying to test this early I guess.

[Boysway]

I am definitely out ladies :( I am seeing this as a way to get my sway attempt right next time. Exercise is definitely a priority!

[SamS_TTCPink]

BFN today! Don't even know why I tested, I know we missed our chance this month. Still disappointed though. More so cause it was our only chance to "take advantage" of the first cycle after a m/c and having it sway pink. 😞

[Marika]

Sorry Boysway and Mumofsix :-( May hasn't really started out great for us.

[Boysway]

Thanks Marika. No it hasn't started out well :( Hopefully next month will be our month.

[SamS_TTCPink]

no it hasn't started well at all!

[angielorna]

How many DPO are you Mumofsix? I'm sorry to hear you don't think you caught the egg.

I, stupidly, tested last night (at 7dpo, so much for waiting) and again this morning (because I tricked myself into believing I saw a shadow that would be positive this morning). Slept crappy because I was so worked up. Sigh. In reality, both tests are stark white and rightfully so. I ate red meat Saturday night and pork last night so I think my stomach issues were probably due to that and NOT a symptom :(

Stupid 2ww (might as well blame it instead of myself :-P ). I know, there is still time for those 2 lines to pop up. I'm just not hopeful they will because of our timing (again) this month. It was a little better than last month, but still not ideal. But NEXT time there will be nothing to stand in the way of proper timing (my goodness, I hope that's true!).

Happy Monday all,
Angie

[SamS_TTCPink]

I'm 10-11DPO Angie. Last time I got a definite BFP at 10DPO but today was very negative!! I've also had no symptoms at all and no inclination of a BFP this month but a BFN is always a downer! 😞 When I got the BFP in March, although I didn't have any symptoms I "felt" something going even early days after ovulation so I had hope then but nothing like that this month. According to a period app I have AF is due tomorrow but I'm expecting it to be late as it's the first cycle after our loss and I have no PMS symptoms either. I spoke to a lady today who I knew swayed for her girl a few years ago and she was TTC for 9 months before her BFP!!!! And she never went off track at all throughout that time! Now that's commitment of a different level!! I can't even go a week without cheating on the diet! 😕

Hope you get your BFP in a few days, it still is early so there's still hope!

[angielorna]

I'm sorry :( I was really hoping for you. Wow, 9 months. That's dedication. I'm definitely a "loose swayer". I am in awe of those who are able to keep up the diet (exercise too if they choose) and supplements up long term.
Thanks, we shall see.
Angie

[sweetdream]

Well against better judgement I did another test... BFN again ofcourse...
I need to accept it. Month 5 here we go. It was golden for my eldest. So who knows!

[Rosie85]

Oh ladies. I am so sad to come in here and re so many bfns. I truly hope June is everyone's month. Thinking of you all!!

[fivebabies]

So sorry to hear about all the BFN's ladies! :( It really stinks.

I'm only 8dpo so no testing for me, but I have a really short (7 day) LP so AF is due today. I have a really bad back ache so I'm pretty darn sure I'm out too. :( Moving on, I guess...

[elise20]

Add me to the list of BFNs.
I've been having light pink spotting for the past couple of days, which never happens and now AF appears to have arrived. I've been so nauseous and feeling pretty badly all month, so my doc is wondering if I might have a cyst. Going in tomorrow to see and hoping to joing the June 2WW group soon! :)

[Abifasc]

So sorry ladies!

[fivebabies]

Man! Was I the only one that felt like May was going to be super full of BFPs?? I really thought so many of us were going to get them. :(

[Boysway]

No fivebabies, I thought we were in with a good month as well :( I am trying very hard to put a positive on my bfn. There were several things I didn't do around attempt time. My aim to do everything as I should. That way, I know I tried the best I could. Now, to get the motivation to stick at it.

[daisymoo]

Sorry girls for the bfns It can be so disheartening. I really hope there are more bfps next month. When I got my bfn I had the biggest cheats ever and I think it got me rejuvenated for the next cycle. Hope you all catch the egg next cycle. We need more bfps!!

[Boysway]

daisymoo, I have had cheats. Thoroughly enjoyed having a Crown Lager last night with hubby. It may have gone down a little too easy, lol. I plan on enjoying some Moscato wine at my cousins wedding this Friday night :)
I also haven't been eating as I should. Not eating enough and not eating what I should. I guess I am still feeling a little disheartened. Today is the day I start doing as I should before I fall into bad habits again. I have eaten breakfast and now to re-start my vitamins that I shouldn't have stopped taking to start with.

[fivebabies]

Me too boysway! I feel like I'm going to try 10X harder this next cycle! lol

how many DPO is everyone?

I'm only 8 dpo but AF should be here today. Ready to move on.

[SamS_TTCPink]

I really thought May would be full of BFPs too! 😞

[FitBlonde]

I'm 9DPO today. AF isn't due till Sunday. Cervix is still really high, firm and closed and have had some symptoms (heartburn and sore boobs which I never get). BFN this morning, but it's still early. I got a faint BFP with DS at 10DPO so will continue testing in the mornings. FX.

[angielorna]

Good luck, fitblonde! Hope you get your bfp!!!
Angie

[Boysway]

Good luck fitblonde :)

[SamS_TTCPink]

Fingers crossed for you FitBlonde!

[essnce629]

I'm only on CD9 so nothing exciting going on with me, but I just wanted to share that my best friend (who has 2 boys and has been swaying pink since November!!!) just got a BFP today at 12dpo! She had what she thought was an evap line on her dollar store test yesterday since the line showed up HOURS after she took it, but then she tested today with a FRER and a CB digital and both were BFP!!!! I've been begging her to join the boards but she still hasn't but said I could post her sway, so I just added it to the post your sway section (her user name is Heidigirl3). She texted me the pics of her BFPs this morning and it really made my day. She loosened up her sway by a lot and was mostly just doing the supplements and exercise. So don't give up hope ladies!!!!

I'll be starting my OPKs today at CD9, but my normal O day is CD15. Good luck to everyone still in the TWW and for those moving on I really hope June is your month!

[Boysway]

Good luck essnce :)

Hi all, thought I'd join in with you if that's ok?
So I am also just beginning my 2ww. It's all happened rather quickly... So I started the LE diet only a week ago as planned to start ttc next month but I o'd super early this month (yesterday, I think? CD14) I've been charting my cycles and I normally ovulate CD19! Anyway me and DH DTD CD12!!
So I guess that means I'm in the 2ww now! Feeling really nervous as really not been swaying long enough!! Eeeek
Xx

[angielorna]

Well, 9 DPO here. No symptoms (except the ones I'm making up in my head). I tested (little embarrased) 7 DPO and 2x at 8DPO. I used my last test last night JUST so I could obsess over it. I knew it would be neg. but I couldn't help myself. Hello, my name is Angie and I am a POAS addict.

I'm debating buying some FRER today. I'm going away on training with my boss and can't get to a dollar store. I know it's a waste of money because I'm pretty sure it's not my month :( But I'm not sure I can contain myself.

And a friend of mine had an "incident" 2 days ago and is now in the 2ww -- she was done having kids. She doesn't know I'm trying. I swear, if she ends up preggo (despite all odds) and I don't, I think I'll be super annoyed!!!

Anyway, I'm just rambling because I have no one to talk to IRL about my TTC'ing and addiction.....so you ladies get to hear allllllll about it, haha.

Angie

[fivebabies]

LOL! Angie, you crack me up! I'm on 9 dpo too! AND I've also tested (with $ store tests)! Which is stupid because I get really late bfp's. I think the earliest was 13dpo. I keep getting back cramping but only on and off. But I still keep wanting to test. I'm ridiculous.....

Tell me this ladies: (this might be confusing)

I normally have 27 day cycles (last 2 cycles at least). I normally O on CD20. Giving me a 7 day LP.

This cycle I was taking B6 (to lengthen my LP) but it delayed O by 3 days. After I already calculated in the 3 days for the late O, AF was "due" yesterday.

Here's my question: If the B6 delayed O by 3 days and I already extended AF's due date the same 3 days to keep my 7 day LP, do I extend AF's due date again in case it actually did lengthen my LP?? If so, how many days??? I've never had a LP longer than 10 days, just FYI.

Help please! I don't want this to be wishful thinking but I can't help it. ;)

[daisymoo]

Angie I think you can safely say every one of us on this site is a poas addict!! I think it's that 3min excitement of what if!!!!!! Best of luck Hope you get a bfp this month!
Best of luck you too Penelope x

BFN this morning at 10 DPO, although I only have internet cheapies.. I should really invest in some FRER tests!

[angielorna]

Anyone ever go from a stark white negative at night to a positive the following morning? I feel like I might have asked this question last month, ha ha

[fivebabies]

No....did that happen for you??? :)

Just dug this info up again. Always a good reminder:

Here are percents on BFP when going by dpo:
35% at 10dpo
51% at 11dpo
62% at 12dpo
68% at 13dpo
74% at 14dpo
80% at 15dpo
88% at 16dpo
92% at 17dpo

[angielorna]

Ha ha, only the first half . Got the stark negative...trying to decide if I should bother wasting a frer I the am. Ugh...thanks, that info is encouraging. 10 dpo in the am.
Can I just fast forward a few days??? I got my bfp at 9dpo for at least 2 of my pregnancies. Angie
