**June TWW**

Aera11

Ahhh FX @JDMRS!  

I had a small temp dip this morning too @lilylover27.  Trying to stay positive but I have a feeling I am out this cycle.  Hang in there I am so over this TWW..

lilylover27

@Aera11 I am so over this TWW too! I might just test tomorrow anyway regardless to get it out of my head you know? It's the not knowing either way right I now I think that's getting to me. At least we are in this together!

dubcompanion

FX for you all @lilylover27 @Aera11 @JDMRS! It's like watching a super suspenseful movie that's a week long!!

lilylover27

We'll probably TMI but just had some light pink CM so not too hopeful now with that along with dipping temps.

LoL Nailed it!!

I am not zen!! I am SS!! It feels like an alien is about to burst out of my pelvis!! My post-O cramps have been suspiciously absent (usually from 3 DPO to AF, worsening at 12DPO)!! Would like to skip out the rest of this week, please!!

JDMRS

@dubcompanion thanks! Not sure how I am going to make it 5 more days... Intellectually, there is no sense wasting a test. Emotionally- I am full on BSC. 

mylittleversailles

My cheapies just arrived!! You all should take bets on what ridiculous day I'm going to start peeing on my money.

To be fair to myself, I didn't feel any better last cycle when I had none to pee on and ended up spending $50 on tests that gave me lines where there shouldn't have been any.

dubcompanion

@reneeannemm You are 6 DPO today, correct? I'm gonna bet you start peeing on your money* on Friday.

*this is an amazing saying, by the way

Wishilivedinflorida

@reneeannemm Mine arrived today, too. I pulled out all the OPKs and fanned them out like a deck of cards to show DH. I got some serious eye roll there! At 30 cents a pop, I have a feeling I'll start testing at some ridiculous 9dpo. I think I may have DH hide and ration them out to me when the time comes. Dang, the crazies are already starting and I'm only CD3. 

At least these shouldn't give any false positives to you. That was so stressful and awful for you to go through. 

mylittleversailles

@dubcompanion Yes, 6DPO. Usually I don't slip into this nonsense until 7DPO. I think you're probably right! But I got my last BFP at 10DPO so maybe I'll start at 8! Maybe I'll just open the packages and throw them directly in the garbage to save myself the trouble of peeing in a cup! I spend too much time alone...

@Wishilivedinflorida I think when DH gets home I'll open the packages and throw them in the air like they're dolla dolla bills y'all 

Yikes this was poor timing!! I'm just wringing my hands and squeezing my boobs to check for increased tenderness, like that tells me bull anything.

lilylover27

I need to get some of these cheapie tests because I really always want to POAS starting 10dpo! Does everyone use the Wondfo ones or is there another one that you all recommend? Also are they as accurate as the ones from the drugstore? Sorry such a Newb question but I only ever bought the FRER tests and they are starting to get expensive!

Wishilivedinflorida

@lilylover27 Another cheap but reliable option are the First Signal 88 cent tests at Walmart. I don't think they are as sensitive as an FRER or Wondfo, though, so I've only used them at 12dpo or later or when I was pregnant and anxious just to see a line. Wondfos are generally revered as very cost effective and sensitive around here, and lots of women have used them at 10dpo with positive results. There are imposter Wondfos on Amazon, so you have to be sure you are buying from a authorized seller. There are threads about this over at TTGP or a quick Google search will give you the same info. I'm thinking FRERs will go out of favor now as the old ones are hard to find and the new curved handle ones are giving evap lines all the time now. Plus like you said, they aren't cheap. 

iceandsnowflakes29

@lilylover27 dollar store or walmart 88 cent ones. 

lilylover27

@Wishilivedinflorida thanks for the heads up about the imposter ones! My DH was already getting concerned about costs last time when I kept POAS and like $20 for 2!

@iceandsnowflakes29 I have never seen that brand in my local Walmart here, I will have to look again, thanks!

mylittleversailles

@lilylover27 I buy these ones because one time an order from Amazon took three months to arrive - DH ordered them and they were for sure the knock-offs from China. The ones I buy take 7 days every time to come to me in Canada, which is a miracle and I imagine they're even faster with USPS.

dubcompanion

@lilylover27 I use Sure Predict and order them off Amazon. I learned about them over at Peestick Paradise's Peestick Reviews. $11 for 20. I used these when I tested positive for my BFP (along with FRER for confirmation). I also used SP's to track if my HCG was lowering following the D&C. They're super sensitive at 10 mIU. 

I will be switching to Wondfo momentarily since I ordered OPKs and they came with their own pregnancy tests.

JDMRS

@lilylover27  I got burned by fake Wondfos once. So here is the deal with getting real Wondfo

OPK: https://wondfousa.com/test/ovulation-tests/

OPK packages should be blue, with the word "Wondfo" in the drop logo, NOT "LH". The OPK strips themselves should have a BLUE handle, not green, with the letters "LH" in darker blue.

HPT: https://wondfousa.com/test/pregnancy-tests/

HPT packages should be pink, with the word "Wondfo" in the drop logo, NOT "HCG". The HPT strips themselves should have a PINK handle, not blue, with the letters "HCG" in red.

If you receive counterfeit Wondfo tests, alert Amazon customer service and they'll make it right.

To avoid counterfeit Wondfo tests, note that their authorized sellers are iFast, Ding!, TEST `A-SURE, Easy@Home, IN-N-OUT, USHealth Tests and Products, Formosa Medical LLC, and Fairview Mart.

Hope this helps!

@lilylover27 I usually use the dollar store brand ovulation and pregnancy tests. Given my track record I probably wouldn't be wasting my money, but I always think that I will order a bunch and then get pregnant. I guess if that happened I could always just send them on to someone in here though

lilylover27

@reneeannemm  and @dubcompanion thanks for the suggestions!
@JDMRS thanks for all the info on Wondfo! I will definitely look for all of these while buying!

Aera11

@lilylover27 I use the target brand digitals normally, but I did splurge on clear blue advanced digitals for this tww. I'll probably use one target & one CB. 

rainbowturtles

LoL @reneeannemm I still haven't looked into how to do gifs yet, but I'm picturing a "MAKE IT RAIN!!!!" gif just for you 

iceandsnowflakes29

@rainbowturtles  I'm mobile. I save the gif to my phone and then upload using the little icon that looks like a piece of paper with the corner folded down.

Ugh it's one of those days (or must be 10dpo)... I'm normally a good cook but the crockpot recipe I was trying tonight, epic fail. I texted DH that he should grab carry out because now I'm cranky and can't salvage it so instead of dumping it and cleaning up, I went for a pedicure. Yup. That's how I fixed the problem haha

edited because finishing sentences is difficult 

iceandsnowflakes29

@Aera11 sounds like something I would do! 

dubcompanion

@Aera11 I totally have those days too, and they always seem to happen during TWW too. Last time, I completely botched up a tried and true Swedish meatball recipe that I've made for over a decade. It was like eating salt balls. DH went and grabbed fast food at my dramatic and dire request.

A pedicure is a great solution!!

Aera11

@iceandsnowflakes29 and @dubcompanion. I'm so glad you guys can relate and I'm not alone!  And, it's only Tuesday!  This week is already dragging...

iceandsnowflakes29

@dubcompanion  lmao at "salt balls" 

dubcompanion

@Aera11 I hope your week gets better! If not, there's always a manicure you could go for also.

@iceandsnowflakes29 The amount of salt was unreal. I have NO idea where my brain was at the time I was cooking, but it was not in the kitchen. I must have dumped at least 1/4 cup (way over the usual amount) of salt into the mixing bowl! WHO DOES THAT.

JDMRS

@dubcompanion in our house we have a day known as salt pancake day. DH decided to make me pancakes. Bless his heart. And he confused Tsp  and Tbs. I tried to power through but after 2 bites I had to stop. I am still thirsty to this day...

Aera11

@JDMRS salt pancake day lol

@reneeannemm I feel you! I am at 6 dpo too, and am struggling to not test. Tonight during yoga during a pose my boobs got squished and definitely felt a little sore so I'm ready for the next couple of days to go by fast ( though I'm sure they won't!) I am feeling similar to how I felt before my first BFP, so I am hoping that's real and not just in my head! Also, I just realized what POAS stands for....

cmmiller531

Maybe somebody can help me with trying to figure out when a good time to test is. I had a D&C 4/15, AF returned 5/19. My cycles pre loss were roughly 29 days putting my next AF this Friday. I have had random nausea since last week, quick short pains, and some dull aches. I'm too nervous to think that this could be it already. I don't feel like a lucky enough person to have it happen again already. I'm too afraid to test early and get mega BFNs but then again I'm DYING to know already!!! 

Also somebody mentioned the curved handle first response tests? Why were they bad? I tried getting the flat handled ones I used the first time but they only had the curved and I'm trying to stick to the same one as before. 

iceandsnowflakes29

@cmmiller531 they still sell the flat ones in a combo pack with the digis. Or at least, that's usually how I find them. GL. 

mylittleversailles

@natsfan2442 Hey there cycle buddy! Let's ride this crazy train out together.

edit: incorrect

BornReady

@cmmiller531 Maybe testing on Friday would be a good goal? If BFN, then every  few days until AF or BFP. Do you track ovulation with temping or use OPKs at all? I did not have a D&C, but I'm sure other ladies might have some wisdom on that front.

I am a wondfo user, so no insight on the First Response tests. Word has it there is an eval problem.

Good luck!

lilylover27

Well tested this morning at 13dpo and BFN. Guess I'll just wait to see when AF shows up. Kind of felt this month was a no go but was still hopeful of course.

JDMRS

@lilylover27 Sorry about the BFN.

Today I am 7dpo and I tested with Wondfo, and got a BFN but seriously, 7dpo and testing with Wondfo?!...that was a guaranteed BFN. Last night I had a dream that AF arrived, so I had to test. Only you ladies understand this BSC.
