Hi, I don't know about illusive hcg levels but as far as the tww goes I dunno! I'm trying for baby number 4 and have had two unsuccessful pregnancies in the past. This time round I'm onto cycle 7 ttc and every tww I'm a basket case. I'm getting better at pretending I'm cool calm and collected on the outside but inside my head I am constantly scanning my body for a clue. I could say, relax, find a hobby, spring clean your house blah blah blah but it would just be lip service! So, if you do find a trick or two to get through it please share? Lol :)

No advice from me either. I'm horrible. I test starting at 7 dpo. All that added stress isn't good I'm sure. TWW is the worst ever!

Hi there,

I find coming on pages like this one, and Baby center to be helpful. I can read other questions, ask a few of my own, and answer questions for other people. :)

My earliest positive with my 1st was 4 days before period was due. The 2ww is horrible an were floating n the same boat right now I'm 8dpo and still saying negative. You won't be able to detect hcg until implantation which happens usually around 9dpo some take longer some shorter some don't even show. But keep fingers crossed!! BTW iv never had any spotting or anything related to letting Me no of implantation with my prior pregnancy hope that helps a little.

Thank you all. Every answer has helped tremendously! I'm 7 or 8 DPO of course I've tested and all are negative but I'm trying my hardest to stay strong.
