@Bas27 best of luck to you in the morning! My fingers are tightly crossed for a BFP for you x

Bas27 · 13/07/2018 20:30

@themagictorch fingers crossed that it's just too early. What brand did you use?
I feel like I'm out too... but at the same time I feel like I'm in... it's like layers on layers of opposing thoughts but I don't know which one is the deepest down feeling.

@flapjackered I liked @trevorj's stat bending. Fingers crossed for you!
I'm testing tomorrow. Really nervous. Trying to convince myself it will be negative and not get my hopes up but in reality they're up and down al over the place. Just like my mood!
Stopped drinking to concentrate fmu... and my mind is going berserk.
I will update you all with a picture tomorrow.
Hoping for a squinter at least.

Thanks @Mumplanner yes it does help, at least I know I’m still in with a chance. My pains are very low down, even in my bum cheeks! X

Mumplanner · 13/07/2018 19:12

@Charlotte1x - I obviously can’t know exactly what you’re feeling - but it sounds like you feel exactly like I have. I said I thought I was getting AF because I had those kind of cramps - but it’s been accompanied by other different feelings - like aches and pains in all areas between my boobs and my hips - front and back. I hope that helps x

Charlotte1x · 13/07/2018 17:56

@Mumplanner thank you, but it still hasn’t stopped me obsessing constantly :( x

In fact I think I’m gonna be out soon, getting a lot of pressure and AF ‘sensations’ now as well as the twinges so it looks like the witch is well on her way.

Anyone to think it’s possible to get the period pains and pressure etc but still get a BFP? X

donna474 · 13/07/2018 17:46

@Mumplanner big fat congrats!

@FlapJackered my partner has low sperm count. His first daughter was through ivf and second a miracle! We're on cycle 6, when we first started I thought I would get pregnant quickly but now I'm just going to wait and see what happens

Mumplanner · 13/07/2018 16:19

Thank you everyone.
It looks like a few people are having some good signs 🤞🏻
@Charlotte1x you’re amazing! I honestly don’t know how you restrain but it’s definitely better if you can - I got so many negatives - and now I’ve got a positive, it’s just constant chemical pregnancy worries.
I can’t wait to see some other BFPs come up! X

TrevorJ · 13/07/2018 11:59

Hi @Flapjackered

Welcome to the wait! 5% of millions is still quite a lot (not a medical opinion, just bending stats).

Testing tomorrow not holding out much hope, but don't think AF is coming on 'time' but I did O late so.... Arrrgh. I've just decided that I'm going to get some frer. If the internet cheapies come up BFP I'll want to confirm or might just use frer straight off.

TheMagicTorch · 13/07/2018 11:44

@Charlotte1x
Well done for resisting, I'm about 11dpo too - used 2 out of 4 FRER and both BFN but like you say not out until AF! So got 2 left but... if I use those tomorrow and Sunday I would very likely just buy more from Amazon. I feel like it's a BFN for me this month too anyway.

FlapJackered · 13/07/2018 11:42

Can I join please!?
I am 4dpo...I think.
Cycle 2
Ttc #1

I think I am going to test on 22nd so a bit of waiting to go unfortunately.
Not holding out too much hope as just found out 95% of DH swimmers are an abnormal shape. 😕
Good luck to everyone testing this weekend.

Charlotte1x · 13/07/2018 11:36

I meant to write BFN not BFP!!!

Charlotte1x · 13/07/2018 10:53

Hi all. It’s not over until AF shows!

I’m 11 DPO today. Still gonna try and hold out until Monday. I crazily tested at 5 DPO with one out of my two FRERs. I’ve only got one left so I’m saving it, if I buy more I’ll just get out of control! Need to restrain myself.

I also think that part of me is quite certain it’ll be a BFP. And the longer I wait to test the longer I can hang onto the hope! I think AF will be a bit late this month because I ovulated late. X

MrsT1983 · 13/07/2018 10:11

@TheMagicTorch BFN for me too this morning :( feeling really bloated with lots of back cramps today so think af may arrive early. Only got one test left so was going to save it for Sunday but if af hasn’t started by tomorrow I know i’ll end up caving! Not due on til Sun so will see..... hope some of you get some good news over the next few days to cheer me up!

TheMagicTorch · 13/07/2018 08:59

@MrsT1983 I was trying to hold off til the weekend but I gave in and tested this morning and still a BFN.

Hoping it's just a bit too early but thinking it's not going to be my month to be honest 🤷

purplestar9 · 13/07/2018 08:45

@Mumplanner congratulations! Lovely news to see :)
So it looks like we may get the storm we were after today!
Sorry I've been a bit quiet on here, had a hard few days. And I have no idea when i ovulated! If I follow my app then I should be 9 DPO, but I had some cramps yesterday that may suggest I ovulated late. So who knows! I guess I'll have to wait and see. Can't wait for my cycle to regulate.
How is everyone today?

MrsT1983 · 12/07/2018 23:07

Hot nary?? Hungry, stupid phone...

MrsT1983 · 12/07/2018 23:06

Congratulations @Mumplanner!

I’ve stupidly been testing since about 7dpo and getting by disappointed with all the negatives, keep having to remind myself that it’s still quite early and there’s chance yet! (Them my faint positive on tues was definitely an evap as i’ve had negatives everyday since ☹️)
More lower back cramps today and pain around my left kidney area, felt quite sick but also ridiculously hot nary all day too, hoping those are good signs!
How are all of you holding out til the weekend before testing?? I’ve almost finished a whole pack of 15 tests already this week and had to order more and i’m not even due on til Sunday Blush

Charlotte1x · 12/07/2018 22:38

@Mumplanner congrats, fx for a sticky bean 😘

I too am a bit windy, and I keep thinking are these all AF cramps or do I just have tummy ache?!

Mumplanner · 12/07/2018 22:06

@TrevorJ - totally get you 😂 if it makes you feel any better I nearly had a very unpleasant accident yesterday. Thank god for the local library!!

Angelmiracle · 12/07/2018 21:59

@Mumplanner fantastic news congratulations 🎉

TrevorJ · 12/07/2018 21:25

whispers congrats @mumplanner

Tmi but I am sooooo windy atm which is sending my symptom spotting crazy!

TheMagicTorch · 12/07/2018 21:14

Aww @mumplanner lovely. Tentative congratulations to you 🤞 keeping everything crossed for a sticky bean x

Mumplanner · 12/07/2018 21:12

I’m still wary that it could be a chemical pregnancy but cautiously optimistic 🤞🏻

Anyone just starting the tww?
oakleywhite · 12/07/2018 21:03

Hi all! Hope the 2ww are flying by. I'm currently 7dop. I really feel like I've had tugging today in my lower left abdomen. Could this be a sign- or just wind 😂x
