April Bus 2

@waitingforbubbles I'm 9dpo. Randomly did an ic at about 1am when I couldn't sleep. Had the faintest whisper of a line so brought out the big gun (frer) this morning. Might have been whiter than white every single time so a squinter was a first! x

Thank you. Still hesitant to get mega excited and still in complete shock x

Congrats @helbel42 no doubting that line. Lovely news.

@helbel42 that's excellent news! Congrats :-)

@helbel42 incredible!!! Huge congratulations!!! How many DPO is that? Ahhhh!!!

So this happened this morning. I'm in complete shock x

Thanks lovelies. I'm okay just disappointed. Hope not to see you all on the May bus x

Really sorry to hear that @polkadotjersey I was so expecting good news, hope you're ok x

Hello all. Introduced myself in the other bus and hadn't realised it was carrying on, thought it had just gone quiet.

Now 8DPO and still symptom spotting like crazy. Felt so tired today even after 8.5 hours sleep and this evening I got this really strange low back ache almost around my tailbone. Boobs also feel ginormous for me (not in real life though 😹 definitely still an A cup). Also had light headedness and head-rushes.

Planning on testing Friday- AF due Monday. All I keep thinking is if I'm not pregnant, my body is playing some serious tricks on me and is never to be trusted again.

@polka so sorry to hear that.

Bad news from me, I'm afraid. AF made a surprise appearance this morning so I'm wondering if maybe it was a chemical? Either way I'm out. Masses of luck to those of you still waiting xx

I do think frer are the best tests but ive been impressed with asdas own in the past. When i have had the barely there lines on internet cheapies they have been pretty clear in asdas own.

Jumping on too!

BFN today, have no clue what's going on 🙈
Good luck to everyone waiting to test

Symptom spotting galore for me today. I'm 8/9 dpo. 4th day of really sore boobs, left ovary twinges, sometimes quite strong but mostly mild. Creamy white cm. feeling full of energy which is very unusual for me (but then I am being more disciplined about actually going to bed at a reasonable hour) I don't know if any of this means anything but thought I'd share!

Two days to go til AF due, still testing negative on internet cheapies (although they are 10mL supposedly) So I think I must be out. Still getting lots of cramps but not AF.

Welcome @makingapplecrumble00 !

How are you getting on @Boboelephant ? CD47 has been filled with no AF, but AF style cramps + lots of CM, serious sore boobs, insomnia and headaches. The last could be due to stress/dehydration, so trying not to get my hopes up too much. Usually before AF I get sore boobs and cramps when it comes, but these are more AF cramps where I feel like it's come and end up going to the toilet to check, but nothing.

@Pob13 - I'm kind of hoping it's just hype about frers being so sensitive because I got a negative a few days after AF was due. It probably depends on the IC you used. I've neither used ICs nor gotten a BFP though so I can't compare from experience. They've all been accurate BFNs no matter what the brand.

Any know if frers are actually more sensitive than ics (or is it just hype)?
I have had 2 bfns on ics but think it is a bit early anyway. I dont want to waste my precious frers!

Can I join please? Apparently I'm only allowed to try for another if I don't get obsessed with it but I'm sure I had some spotting yesterday so major fail today and frantic 'early symptoms' googling (despite knowing better!) so I will have to talk to you lovely lot and not the hubby!

I'm in dire need of assistance to resist early testing. Last time after many months of testing only to get AF next day I've vowed to not test until I'm late - help please!!!

I'm only just going to be on the bus as I'll be testing either 29th or 30th. Only 3dpo right now. Feeling much more relaxed than previous months though which is odd. I have a weird feeling of calm this time. Fingers crossed for all.

Yes please do!

Bloody hell, it says 29th now, my 2ww is a 3ww, boooo

Thanks so much @helbel42. I'll keep you updated!

I agree that NC is likely to be more accurate, especially where you've been using it for so long, so you've got plenty of time to still get that BFP! Sending lots of positive thoughts your way.

I've got everything crossed for you! Can't wait to hear when you retest!!

Glow says I'm due on 23rd but natural cycles says 28th and I think that's likely to be more accurate so going with that one. Still a way to go. My luteal phase has been quite a bit longer than average since we started trying and I was using natural cycles for about 8 months prior as contraception x

Thanks everyone!

@DBoo Yeah it's pink. I used First Response both times.

I've just looked at my TomTom app and seen I only had 3 hours 20 mins sleep last night so that might have something to do with it. I've spoken to my friend who's a midwife and she said hcg levels can be quite low to start which can lead to inconsistent results. Natural Cycles told me not to test till Saturday so I'm going to do my best to hold out till then and hopefully get a stronger line!

@helbel42 Everything crossed for you. When is AF due?

@polkadotjersey that looks like a line! So strange about the second one - like everyone else said I would try and do another - maybe wait a day or two if you can (but I know I prob wouldn't be able to!!)

Can definitely see the line polka is it pink?cant tell from the pic.

Did you use the same kind of test?

I would maybe test this afternoon some people get on better testing later on. Tentative congratulations!
