Amazing August 2WW Thread

So here's what I found on how this particular test works.... in case someone ever wonders ;)
Certainly got my hopes up :D



Unlike the traditional Clearblue Pregnancy test, the new Clearblue Digital Pregnancy Test with
Conception Indicator contains two test strips a low sensitivity strip and a high sensitivity strip.
Inside a Clearblue Digital Pregnancy Test
with Conception Indicator
Urine travels up the Absorbent Sampler and flows through the pad. If hCG is present in the urine it
will bind to anti-hCG antibodies attached to blue dye in the pad. The urine moves along both test
strips. As the hCG and anti-hCG antibodies pass through the result line zone, they bind to anti-
hCG antibodies to form blue result lines.
Both strips contain a result line; the low sensitivity strip also contains a control line. The Test
monitors the control line on the low sensitivity strip and only when a valid control line has been
detected will the result lines on both the strips be determined.
At low concentrations, hCG binds on the high sensitivity strip. At higher concentrations, hCG will also
bind to the low sensitivity strip. The concentration of hCG detected in the results lines of the two
strips determines the result of the Conception Indicator: 1-2 weeks since conception; 2-3 weeks since
conception; 3+ weeks since conception. If no hCG is present, the anti-hCG antibodies attached to
blue dye flow past the result zones on both strips, and no lines will be formed giving a Not
Pregnant result. If insufficient hCG is present, result lines may form but will be below the lowest
thresholds set, and a Not Pregnant result will be displayed.
The lines produced on the strips cannot be read by eye. Instead, an optical system is used to
measure the density of the lines. A red light shines onto these specific areas, and the light reflected
is converted into an electrical signal.

I definitely see a line! FX that it gets darker and darker!! :D

I wish it was Friday so badly! I really want to go see my alternative medicine doctor to find out what he's going to add/change with my meds to help improve my odds of a successful pregnancy. I feel like this week is seriously dragging and it just needs to stop. LOL! :running:

Thanx hun xoxoxox

I agree it's draggin' Hurry up Friday :D

That's crazy! Yes the line is there. I am sorry for what it's worth I didn't expect that... Maybe tomorrow morning it will give the pregnant result to go along with that hcg line?

Foreign I am reposting what my first response looked like for you when I first took it. It is very similar to how yours looked and I am def pregnant. No clue why the digital didn't work for you but tomorrow maybe it will!

You can have all my blue baby dust :) Well actually maybe share it around with the other blue swayers too :)

Happy to take the pink dust, although gender is already determined... just a matter of waiting to find out... assuming all is ok this time! I'm doing my 12 wk scan at about 11.5wks so it will be too early for nub guessing sorry. I actually don't want to nub guess as with DS2 I was sure it was a girl nub.

Fingers crossed for you Foreign Chick, hopefully the tests get darker for you.

Another stark white BFN FRER test this morning, I think I can safely say I am out this cycle.

Darn it, tfahn!! I was really hoping this was your month!! FX for your next cycle! :)

It sure does look very similar to mine!

That's exactly what I got again this am! The line hasn't gotten any darker :*( I couldn't resist last night so I did another FRER and it was stark white- NOTHING! I followed by the CB digital and of course -Not Pregnant, and after I took the test apart again, the lines were barely visible... wonder if my urine was too diluted ? Anywho I am out of CB and just used my last FRER this am... lol so I have to wait til I go to the store again, which will probably be this afternoon lol But I am slowly giving up hope, I feel the line should have gotten darker by now 10/11 dpo today... :/ Feeling Blah, but keeping in mind that its not over until the Fat lady sings...

Thanx for posting your test pic for comparison, I do appreciate it xx

Thank you tfahn <3 Unfortunately it's not getting darker :/ Last night I took one and it was also stark white grrrr this am then again and yet again this barely visible line .... Feel like pulling my hair out! TBH I'd rather have all stark white ones instead getting my hopes up with these "false positives" I sure wish I had the will power to resist the testing and just wait 3 more days... yeah right as if this is going to happen...

I am very sorry you got another BFN :/ that bites xx I'll probably join you here in a few days :rolleyes:

Foreign- how long were you awake for before you peed on the first test and did you drink anything before testing? That would cause dilution for sure. I'd say if you are pregnant you need to test on a morning right when you wake up do nothing else before he test and don't drink a lot before sleeping the night before and don't touch liquid until you have peed on a stick!

Temp dropped this morning so looks like I'm out :' -( Really thought this was my month, I really feel like just crying right now and giving up on trying to have a son, but its only been our 2nd month on ttc, although we have always been successful on the first try with our girls, well off to October I go. I wish you all the best, GL girls hopefully you all get your BFP soon.

So sorry DesGi!! I hope you get your bfp in October! :)

Sorry, foreign chick. I know how frustrating this whole thing is. :(

Oh no ladies! I'm so sorry that things aren't going your way [emoji20]. This whole TTCing thing can be rough. Hang in there! I just know that your BFP is coming!

AFM- I'm not sure what to make of my chart. I thought I had an almost positive opk two days ago, and now I think it truly must have been positive. I only tested in the morning. This morning my temp is high and had a bit of spotting with mild cramps. I must have ovulated, which means my attempt at O-2 is no good. I've never conceived from an O-2 attempt before. On the bright side, it's definitely one attempt! So I wait for AF. Hopefully this is not a case of gearing up to O and not until later. My CM was watery for the past two days and is now sticky, so I'm hoping that this means my cycles are back on track with a normal cycle length.

Now the waiting begins [emoji12]!

I always forget about that [emoji23]! Since having him, my fertility is not what it used to be, and I haven't gotten pregnant since then with an O-2 attempt. DS3 was an O-1 attempt.

went to bed @ about midnight drank just a little bit of water before laying down. Woke up @3 again, cause I had to pee, so ... idk... I went and got some more of the CB digitals I saved myself the $ for the FRER as I've read that sine they changed the design to the curvy one, there have been MANY false+'s so yeah I'll wait til in the am before testing again, I should be 11/12 dpo by then...

Sorry to read this, so disheartening, are you attempting next month? If so I will be glad of your company. Am feeling very disheartened about continuing with swaying, cannot get my diet back on track, considered skipping next month to give me a chance to get back to strong sway but feel because I have struggled to conceive, I cannot afford to miss a month! X

my fingers are crossed so hard for you foreign. good luck and im waiting to hear!! :)

Thank you for taking the time out of your day to say something to me I always appreciate that. I will not be attempting next month, because I dont want my daughter to have to share a birthday with a new baby. Im going to wait for October that seems like such a perfect month for a boy sway anyway, boy month and it is supposed to be a full moon right around the time I ovulate, and I fell off my diet for the 2ww, still was taking all my supplements tho, and drinking my banana smoothies. Well if you did skip next month we would be doing October together, that would be so nice having someone to talk to and cheer each other on! Im sorry to hear you've been having a hard time, I know how you feel. All this swaying stuff is so new to me and I almost feel like Im driving myself crazy to do everything the right way, its kind of taken the fun out of baby making for hubby and I. There are a few things I will do different next time. The first time we tried I did bsf and the 2nd time I mixed the baking soda with the pre seed so I think I will leave the baking soda out this time, I have seen a few women who say the used it a few times and never got pg then when they did. Not use it they did get pg. And think I am going to start temping, I gave up on it, because I would always forget, but started again about 6 days after our attempt, and going to start the bd as soon as a get a positive Ovulation strip instead 12 hours later. Sorry for the long post, but I really have noone to talk to besides the hubby and I feel like I need a woman to talk to who would kund of understand where Im coming from. I'm rooting for you! I pray you get that BFP soon!

You might end up surprised XXforhubby!! I ended up ovulating two days later than normal this cycle, so my attempts were 0-5 (J&D) and 0-3 (laid for 20 mins) and I am definitely pregnant! I thought for sure that with my only solid attempt being at 0-3 I was out but that was not the case. Fingers crossed for you!

Thank you <3 good luck to you as well!!! Hope October is your lucky blue month xx

I'm so anxious to ttc!!! I called my fertility doctor to make sure it's fine for us to ttc this month but I had to leave a message. I have a feeling he's not going to tell us anything new at my appt on Monday (aka my miscarriages are due to bad luck), and I should be ovulating on Sunday. I don't want to waste a whole month! I'm not even sure that my body would let me get pregnant this month anyway, since I miscarried a few weeks ago. I want to be pregnant so badly! I'm sick of waiting!! :( DH is also sick of waiting. Especially since his brother just had his 2nd DD yesterday. He's a little baby crazy at the moment, lol!!

Here we go- Today is my last day of clomid. I am cd7...I had no side effects so far and I feel normal. I am on an unmonitored cycle at 50mg so I will wait and see what my body does. Think I will start OPK tests cd12 which is very early for me but I don't want to miss it and I know clomid can mess things up. I have felt fairly relaxed up to this point but now I am suddenly nervous and anxious to TTC this cycle and see if this works.

FX for you GirlieCat!!! I hope it works for you!! :) I did clomid. I only ovulated 1 egg on 50mg. It was a painful ovulation though. I ended up on the couch with a heating pad for a few hours. That was the worst of it that cycle. When my doctor upped it to 100mg, I had a lot of hot flashes at night. My ovulation was not as painful though.

girliecat- im glad the clomid was kind to you! fingers crossed this does it for you and you get your BFP!!!

I had my attempt a few days ago. Unfortunately I did not manage to detect a pos OPK but I have never before had so much O-nausea and O-cramps. I know I had an egg bc I saw it on a scan last week. According to my fertility doc the egg would be ready to go this past weekend or start of this week. But no POS OPK and no watery cream in my pants!

Maybe my body geared up up O and then the egg decided to dissolved itself.

This is only 3 weeks past my MC/missed abortion which happened first month TTC and on 50 mg Clomid. Maybe my body is confused and drained.

Fx we see a lot of BFP this autumn. This swaying-proces is hard in the long run. So many things to keep track on and so many things to worry about.

I might get a elective scan at 15wks if I get impatient or wait until the 20wk scan. I would love to leave it as a surprise but I don't think that will happen!

Good Morning Ladies and Gentleladies :)

I am officially out :rolleyes:
AF got me this am 2 days early... I am not going to lie, I am a bit disappointed especially after all these "near positives", BUT on the other hand I am kind of glad it happened the way it did, because everything I knew about swaying was apparently wrong. So this gives me the opportunity to gather some info before I attempt again. I am not sure if I'll attempt this coming cycle, I'll have to see, but defo NOT in October! 2 of my daughters were conceived in October and I do NOT want another Birthday in July hehehhehe

Good luck to those who are still in the 2WW and good luck to those who are about to attempt. Have no blue dust to share, but blowing all my pink dust around xoxoxox

Dreamsister, clomid made my ovulation a lot different than normal, even for a few cycles after I stopped taking it. I think you ovulated. FX for a bfp for you!!

:bighug: Foreign Chick!! I'm sorry af got you!

AFM, I dtd last night. I still haven't heard back from my doctor's office and since he never said too skip this cycle, we went for it. I still think I'm at least 3-4 days before a +opk, so if I do hear back that we are supposed to skip this cycle, our attempt has microscopic odds of actually doing anything. Overall, I'm confident in our choice. :) I'm so excited for my doctor appointment tomorrow. I'm interested to see how he adjusts my meds. I am also very nervous to get the results of all of my testing on Monday. DH is more excited but I'm definitely more worried than anything.

Sorry Foreign chick. I know what you mean about having more time to sway, it was the only silver lining to my last BFN since I am new to swaying pink.

FX for you Dreamsister. I am always confused if I actual ovulate because I have lots of O-cramps for many days. I haven't had scans to monitor it yet.

Momamia hoping everything goes as you hope tomorrow. Looking forward to an update on what happens.

As I don't know if I O'ed or not I am supposed to continue BD-pattern which is E4 or E3D. But DH is going on a fishing trip so won't be able to BD on day 4 or 3 but first on day 5. Oh, shit, what to do? Make him leave a sample [emoji12] so I can do self insemination. Actually I'm so sick of BD that often. Others feel the same? Like sex has become more duty than pleasure?

Maybe I should just relax and have faith that I am past O-time so nothing more to do than just wait and see.

Dreamsister, I would just wait until he gets back and dtd then. That's the easiest. You could always flip a coin. That's what atomic always says to do in situations like this. :) I hope you can decide on whichever option makes you feel the most comfortable.
