Hi
Just wondering if there is anyone else who is now waiting the two weeks before testing. I had positive ovulation test on 27th this month so just a waiting game now :( only managed to dtd on 25th and 27th so hoping that will have kept me covered

12dpo this morning and got a bfn, weird tasting food went after two days but learnt it could be dysgeusia which is a symptom which manifests as a really awful taste in mouth so was kinda expecting a bfp? Pain in boobs has changed from an ache tomorrow of a sharp stabbing pain. Going to test again tomorrow. How are all the other Saturday testers? Good luck ladies Glitterball

Got a slightly stronger positive this morning.

I’ve switched my app into pregnancy mode and it has me confused Confused My last period began on 10th Dec, and the app is telling that I’m 5 weeks and 6 days pregnant, but the NHS calculator says 3 weeks Hmm
Any insights on that?!

Congratulations @MyBreadIsEggy

I think I'm 7dpo now. Have got sore boobs and having occasional cramps so hoping it's good news going to order some frer on Tuesday so I can't start testing too early do have a stash of ics in the back of the cupboard

MulderitsmeX · 11/01/2019 20:45

Congrats to all the bfps
backaway sorry to hear about your MMC, hope there is a bfp soon.

This is cycle 1 for me ttc no 2. We are supposed to be doing it only casually (ie no charting etc) as DS is only 9 months (!). Dont know if its my head but i keep getting dull feelings in my uterus but not sure if that means anything.

Would be great to not have to try too long but also Shock to have 2 so close together.

BackAwayFatty · 11/01/2019 20:32

What tests are you all using to get your BFP? I'm 13DPO & using cheap pink strips off amazon & so far BFN. With my last pregnancy I got a BFP at 10DPO. Gonna be gutted if my period comes tomorrow when I'm at work. Will be my first period after my MMC 😭

MyBreadIsEggy · 11/01/2019 18:04

Couldn’t believe it! Especially since I got a negative first thing this morning!!

becca3210 · 11/01/2019 17:52

Congrats @MyBreadIsEggy good to hear of somebody getting a 13DPO bfp :) @LillianFullStop ooh good to know. Seem to be worse after eating could just be cause I am eating too much and nothing to do with pregnancy haha

@becca3210 I’ve been getting the stitches too similar to stretching pains during first trimester.

@mybreadiseggy 12dpo is still early so AF may just stay away!

@Lisaawilson it’s normal to be a little worried esp first trimester - every stage has its worries but the first trimester I found the most emotional. It will get easier the more you progress and you will let yourself relax and enjoy Smile.

MyBreadIsEggy · 11/01/2019 16:04

So this just happened

MyBreadIsEggy · 11/01/2019 15:13

Gemma I didn’t get any sign of a BFP with my two DCs until my period was a week late! So I’m not losing heart yet

GemmaJen · 11/01/2019 14:37

@Lisaawilson it's always going to be a worry. I had an MMC in November, so extremely nervous this time around. But I've given myself a talking to and decided I'm not going to let fear rob me of this experience, if it goes wrong it'll be devastating whether I spend my time being pessimistic or optimistic. I am still checking BBT, Hr and testing everyday, but keeping the positive mindset is keeping me sane. Like yours my tests are now super dark. I'm going to stop with the tests from tomorrow, but in the first few days looking at those tests really helped me. I'm also going to have an early scan, it's not the right choice for everybody, but I think it will help me relax a little. Basically embrace the fact that your pregnant and do what you need to do to stay sane. X

@MyBreadIsEggy all the signs seem promising 🤞 lots of people don't get their BFP until after 14dpo.

Lisaawilson · 11/01/2019 14:26

Hi!! Just wondering how all the lovely ladies who had their BFPs this month are getting on?? Since my positive on Monday my line has gotten so dark which is reassuring! However I'm so worried about miscarriage especially after my friend who was due to have her 12 weeks scan in 4 days miscarried last night :( is anyone else like this or should I just try be positive?! Xx

I’m 13dpo.
Got another negative this morning.
But my boobs are genuinely enormous. Today I’m wearing a bra that has been too big ever since I stopped breastfeeding DS 20 months ago! I’ll do more tests over the weekend if AF doesn’t pay me a visit

AttiBones · 11/01/2019 11:08

How's everyone doing symptom wise? I'm now 8dpo and been really tired the last few days and a bit light headed, last night I started feeling a bit queasy, and keep getting lots of excess saliva. This is still happening today and also getting mild cramps. Keep thinking it might be AF, but not due for another 7 days and I am like clockwork normally! Stupidly did a digital test last night and very firm bfn. How long do you think I should wait to test again?

Pinkelephant12 · 11/01/2019 09:29

I ordered some frer late last night fully knowing they won’t come until Saturday. Hopefully that will make me wait until at least Sunday to test

becca3210 · 11/01/2019 08:34

Am enjoying reading this thread. 11DPO (or there abouts!) today so took a FRER - negative :( Had a few weird stitches on Wednesday so if that was implantation (wishful thinking perhaps!) then I guess I might need to wait longer... this waiting game is hard! Most I have had symptom wise is a few light stomach and back pains and stitches so not much and could just be PMT stuff. Guess wait to see if AF comes on Sunday or not. Good luck everybody!

MyBreadIsEggy · 10/01/2019 12:44

Lillian my DS was in a rush! Wasn’t due until mid-November!

LillianFullStop · 10/01/2019 12:42

Sounds about right my DD is Oct 2016 too! Nice to see you here again maybe we will be due date buddies again lol

MyBreadIsEggy · 10/01/2019 11:26

Lillian I was on a due date buddy thread when pregnant with DS (Born October 2016) Smile

LillianFullStop · 10/01/2019 11:14

@Pinkelephant12 i POAS at 6dpo too so obv BFN... Blush

It’s not over yet @MyBreadIsEggy! By the way I think I remember you from the boards from a couple of years ago. That name is quite memorable lol

MyBreadIsEggy · 10/01/2019 11:06

My tests arrived this morning and I got a negative result. Period still not due for a few days though, so I’ll retest every day until either a period comes or I run out of tests!
