Hi girls

Thought it might be useful to start a thread to get all those of us who are down to our last week of the tww together and who are going to start testing soon!

Let the symptom sharing etc begin and let's pour all our best wishes in for plenty of bfps this coming week!

Who's with me?

Ok @Owlpatrol. Good luck! Just to warn you I did an ic one too and it was negative. The FRER deffo positive though so I don't think the ics are as sensitive as they reckon. Mine are one step ones that say they are 10miu

@Owlpatrol I felt exactly the same. I don't even know why I tested I just thought what the heck!!! I'm still cramping like AF will come any second so it's either normal or mine will turn chemical. You're not out yet girl x

11 dpo x

Owlpatrol · 25/01/2018 18:52

Yep they're lovely pics! Ahhh so happy for all these bfps!!

I don't want to be a Debbie downer tonight but I do think af will be here at the weekend. I think I'll test in the morning just to be sure so that I can have a chilled weekend and not be too sad when af arrives. I'd literally eat my words if it comes up positive. Had saw vag today (sorry tmi) and pressure down there fairly certain I'm out Sad

Omg congratulations @mamabear05 eeek you are the creator of this lucky thread! Xxx

Jessabean · 25/01/2018 18:25

Congrats @mamabear05!!! 🎉
Don't worry you probably just implanted bit later than you did last time still normal though. That or you ovulated a bit later than you thought your LH levels can be a bit variable after a miscarriage and OPKs don't always pick up the ovulation day properly when this happens!

HellaBella0 · 25/01/2018 18:12

Implantation is apparently around 7-10dpo so you’re def still in the normal range. I read that it can sometimes be up to 12dpo. Also that wasn’t FMU which will mean it’s prob not as concentrated.

I will be keeping everything crossed for you 🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼 and hopefully see you over on the October anti natal board (not that I’ve actually had the courage to join it yet 😬)

@HellaBella possibly!!! I was starting to wonder if I'd even ovulated but if I did the opks would suggest it was 10 or possibly 11 days ago as they stayed positive for 2 days 11/12 days ago then have been negative since.

I got really bad cramps two days ago so wondering whether that could have been the start of implantation??? I just put it down to AF arriving early.

Will test again Friday if I can get anymore FRER tests. I so hope it doesn't turn out to be chemical but the line is deffo there in real life! (Hard to photograph)

HellaBella0 · 25/01/2018 17:50

I see it @mamabear05 !!!!! Eeeeek

You may have ovulated later than you thought or maybe you just implanted a bit later?

@Celebelly try to stay positive. I'm having bad cramps and my bfp is so so faint too but hang in there till AF arrives x

Massive congrats on all the bfps! Very lucky thread!

I’m 9dpo now, still holding out on testing but still have zero normal af symptoms or anything else - no sore boobs, no spotting which I’d normally have by now, no cramps - wonder if I’ve even ovulated! Only think different is that I’m super super exhausted but I think this is probably down to a nasty virus that’s going round school!

Feeling pretty calm this month so when af shows I think I’ll be okay...

Celebelly · 25/01/2018 17:14

I see it! Congrats!

Just to confirm it's pink in the right place but ever so faint in real life but that's with this afternoons urine. Still cramping really badly though...

Congrats on the BFPs, ladies! Some nice strong lines there too!

Celebelly · 25/01/2018 13:10

Not very positive news from my end, I'm afraid. After a day or two of faint lines on several tests, they've now faded to almost invisible and I've started having quite bad cramps. No bleeding yet but I don't feel very confident and think I might have had a chemical pregnancy. Feel a bit gutted but I know these things happen fairly often and it's just one of those things so I'm going to wallow for a day or two and then get back to it next month smile

Owlpatrol · 25/01/2018 13:07

@Jessabean fabulous congratulations!!
@HellaBella0 you too girlie looking great those lines!
@mamabear05 feeling the same as you actually! Not too bothered for af to arrive, can feel the usual heaviness down there indicating af is on her way. Was going to test again tomorrow but not sure I'll bother. Oddly though usually by now I'm really down about af but feel ok this time. Wondering if I ovulated as well. I just used the regular non branded Aldi grapefruit juice and mixed with water. Xx

Congrats to all those with BFPs. I'm very sure I'm out and AF will arrive by the weekend as was soooo crampy last night. Deffo AF cramps tho. CP low and firm too. I'm feeling remarkably unbothered by it today though - not even bothered to test. Onwards and upwards :)

Can I just ask all those who've tried the grapefruit juice...which brand did you drink and how much??? Did you drink it just before ovulation or both before and after?

We tried SMEP this month but I have a sneaky feeling I didn't actually ovulate. I usually get one opk where the line is darker than the control but this month I just had 2 days where the lines were he same. Assumed positive but now I'm wondering if not. Apparently an anovulatory cycle is not rare after a miscarriage so if that's the case it makes me feel better about it not working and more positive for next cycle!

@Owlpatrol how you holding up chick? Keeping my fingers and toes crossed for ya and any others still to test x

OP posts:
HellaBella0 · 25/01/2018 07:57

Owl I also feel quite crampy so don’t think that’s a necessarily a sign you’re definately out. I have no symptoms at all really, other slight cramps and sore boobs which I get every month anyway.

I did really similar things to @surreygirl1987 this month actually, it’s weird it sounds almost identical! I did SMEP (although missed the last 2 times you were meant to DTD), drank lots of grapefruit juice, used conceive plus, pineapple after ovulation and kept really warm as also have fairly low temps.

I have no idea if any of those things helped or it was all coincidence!

Good luck to everyone still in and congrats to everyone else with BFPs. I might stick around for a while to see how everyone gets on as I love these threads

Got my digital BFP this morning!! Still not 100% sure how many days of i I am - 12 or 13 dpo I think!
Am going to stop testing now though and just hope I don't see any blood for the next few months!! Really hoping this one sticks! Just wanted to jump right to 13 weeks now!
Good luck anyone else POAS today! 🤞 And to those of you being strong enough to resist a bit longer! Xxx

@surreygirl1987 thank you that's really helped I'm so pleased for you as well!! Trying to remain positive I may test again tomorrow. I've had some indigestion which isn't normal for me and lots of tiredness. Some cm but not watery mainly lotiony. I had a better night sleep last night and temps still relatively high so fx xx

Presh12345 · 25/01/2018 02:59

What do we all think??? Tested twice at 9 and 10dpo but got nothing. Slight cramps but nothing out of the ordinary.
