I'm 11dpo (due on Sunday) but my last cycle was 44 days so who knows what my body is doing at the moment.

Frantasic · 06/04/2016 11:24

The same thing happened to me on Monday... I did another yesterday and the same thing. I'm like you, I'm assuming it's evaporate lines, but I'm feeling terrible today and I'm starting to think otherwise. What DPO are you today?

lightcola · 06/04/2016 10:48

Ok, so I caved and took another test this morning (11dpo) and it was negative for the first 5 minutes so I walked away. Returned 30 minutes later to find a faint second line. I KNOW this isn't accurate and it's probably an evap line but now i'm even more obsessed. My head tells me I should wait till Sunday/Monday, but my heart wants to go out and buy all the tests in a 20 mile radius.

Frantasic · 06/04/2016 10:07

So I'm 10/11 dpo and am struggling with ridiculous fatigue this morning... I can't seem to get going... I'm also having waves of nausea. I felt crappy yesterday morning too, but more so today.

LittleHeart2014 · 05/04/2016 21:13

Natalie, I hope that's a symptom! I've been forgetful too Grin

So you have about as much patience as me lightcola. I'm constantly on the lookout for signs (well, reassurance) too!

Lovewatchingrainfall · 05/04/2016 17:23

I 100% agree that the TTW is torture. at least the sunshine has come out to make it a bit better. However when the sun comes out it normally means a nice glass of wine however since TTC i have given it up and instead i have gone for a nice cold shloer drink still in a wine glass Never knew that about a cold, will still keep my hopes up then. might try and test at the weekend and see what happens.

Sorry to hear about you negative test Lightcola however as you said your cycles are confused so maybe its just too early.

Natalie pre baby brain already. Has to be a good sign.

I was the same with my last pregnancy light cola... I had a very nasty fall between conception and BFP and broke my arm and several ribs.. I didn't notice until I felt very Puky on the day I was due to start AF and thought I'd rule it out....BOOM! I was so shocked. Sadly I MCed a week later.

The TWW is a bloody nightmare. Id rather have something to occupy me... Well, anything but broken bones because that was no fun either. Confused

lightcola · 05/04/2016 15:23

My last pregnancy wasn't planned so didn't know until I was late for AF and took a test..I much preferred that approach.

nataliefruit · 05/04/2016 14:51

I know exactly what you mean lightcola - I'm only 4 or 6 days post ov and the only thing I have is crazy sore boobs but I'm constantly on the lookout for others (is it possible to have baby brain this early as I've forgotten a folder for work yesterday, my pre-pregnancy vitamins and my fruit today LOL!)

lightcola · 05/04/2016 14:27

Hello. I'm 9 days in to my 2 week wait and it has been TORTURE! I caved and took a test yesterday but of course it was a BFN. 5 days to go apparently, but my cycle is so confused who knows. This is my first month of trying so trying not to get my hopes up but I am a woman possessed checking non existent symptoms.

LittleHeart2014 · 05/04/2016 13:08

Oh I don't know about that Love. They say catching a cold can be a symptom! I'm reading too much about what to expect...I guess until AF arrives it's possible.

I ended up caving and doing a first response this morning. BFN. But after a bit of "research" I've decided to test 16dpo as I have a long cycle and have read that this can result in lower hcg levels than average. So, I've tested too early for the average person, I knew that of course! And potentially tested WAY too early for someone with a long cycle. I'm becoming desperate to find out though.

My OH also wants me to wait until he's back from a trip next Tue so let's see if I can hold out until then x

Frantasic · 05/04/2016 12:11

Thanks guys. It's sounds worse than it is, it was an isolated incident. My GP did the referral because it was heavier than you'd expect from a bit of trauma during sex. I get the impression it's more of a precaution than anything.

Little, how are you feeling today? Any more symptoms?

Lovewatchingtherainfall I hope you the afternoon napping leads to more implantation symptoms.

Fx for us all x

Lovewatchingrainfall · 05/04/2016 08:54

Aww Fran you really are going through a lot i hope you get a BFP soon. Good Luck at your appointment.

I am currently 6 days post ov part of me thought it was more or hoped it was more. Had a cheeky nap yesterday afternoon as was so tired. I am full of a cold at the moment so don't think i will be that lucky this month.

I think i will be buying the first response test this month as i normally buy the clear blue tests but not heard wonderful reviews.

Good luck on Thursday if you test little

LittleHeart2014 · 05/04/2016 08:32

Gosh you're going through so much Fran. I hope it's all okay and good news at the appt. Fx for us both x

Frantasic · 04/04/2016 22:19

Thank you. I'm not looking forward to that appointment at all. It's an urgent referral because I bleed heavily during sex around the time I was OVing. It only lasted minutes but it looked like we'd sacrificed a small animal. It scared the bejesus out of us both. They are gonna do an up close and personal with my my cervix and make sure it's nothing sinister. I'm sure it's not because I had a smear, hysteroscopy and uterine biopsy last year and they were all fine. Sorry if that's TMI. :0/

I will have my fx for you on Thursday.

LittleHeart2014 · 04/04/2016 21:57

Prob Thu soonest. Part of me wants to wait a bit longer as while I tested +ve on opk for 26 March apparently I could've ovulated anytime in the 24-36 hours after. I'm quite new to the charting thing.

Good luck with your appt. Hope it goes well and what you had today was a faint +ve after all!

Frantasic · 04/04/2016 21:52

Well I did a cheapie strip today and there was a line there but well out of the testing time frame, so I think it was an evaporation line rather than a BFP.

I have a gynaecologist appointment in Thursday so I'm sure they'll do bloods while I'm there. That'll save some hassle. What about you?

LittleHeart2014 · 04/04/2016 21:37

I'm feeling exactly the same Fran. Symptoms wore off overnight and this morning, which was nice as I got more sleep, but had what felt like a cold and headache when I woke up. Now it's cramps and lower back ache again.

When are you testing? I keep reading posts about being 8dpo and getting positives but I reckon I'll continue to wait until Thu. Some haven't got positives until 21dpo!

Frantasic · 04/04/2016 21:26

Hi everyone... I've been trying to find this thread to post for two days. Grr!

How is everyone doing?

I'm now dpo 8/9 and am furiously symptom spotting. There's something I wanted to ask those of you that have DC. I am either getting a visit from AF stupidly early or I think I'm experiencing implantation cramps. Have any of you ever had them. This feels like a heavy dragging sensation in my pelvis. It's more uncomfortable than painful. The only time I've ever had this feeling before is when I've been pregnant.

Other symptoms are my boobies seem a little bigger and I can't get through an afternoon without a nap on the sofa, and headaches. Oh AND a lot of watery CM.

It could all be PMS, but it's a bit early for all that.

Anyone else feeling anything today?

LittleHeart2014 · 04/04/2016 20:59

How soon are you ladies testing? Just looking at Ovia app more closely and it's suggesting I test 12 days dpo. Should I wait a bit longer?

Been reading up on various types of tests and as it's common for some women to have lower hcg levels for longer wonder if it'll just burst my bubble if I test too soon!

What tests are you using?

nataliefruit · 04/04/2016 17:59

I think I'm either 3 days post ov or 5 days post ov depending on when it happened. I'm not quite sure as had ewcm and ov pain but negative opks 5 days ago and then positive opks but no ewcm 3 days ago so we'll see. I'm thinking I'll test around 16th if my af doesn't show.

It's our first month without protection and, while we dtd every other day leading up to ov, I hurt my back (hovering of all things!) And haven't dtd on or since ov so I'll be astonished if we get a bfp this month! Good luck to everyone Grin

Lovewatchingrainfall · 04/04/2016 17:21

Did you take a test today Little or did you decide to wait? Hope your all okay. I am fed up of waiting now. Still more then a week to go :-(

LittleHeart2014 · 03/04/2016 21:18

Hope this is an easier journey for you Love. I'm beginning to feel impatient. Keen to test tomorrow but think I best wait until Thursday so I can be absolutely sure x

Lovewatchingrainfall · 03/04/2016 18:19

Of course you can join. How is everyone doing?
