Bfp or AF due 14th feb!!

Hi @sal1987 I'm on month 14 and last month was the first time I broke down. It's so tough. Big hugs and wishing you a huge bfp this month x

So I am 8dpo and today I just feel a bit defeated!! I'm having symptoms but ones I have been getting most months with the end result being a bfn!! It's been 16 long months and just don't know how to feel about it anymore!! As much as I'm trying to be positive it's been a bad day today 😢😢

FX for everyone in this group, both new and old!! I hope you all get your BFP and don't have to stress for this long!!

@Baba11 thank you xx

@StarryEyed88 yes!! Another crazy symptom spotter to join the gang! Welcome 😂 lets hope this week flies by🤞 for you xx

Hi ladies, can I join? Driving myself crazy symptom spotting! Only 6 dpo but today I’ve felt so tired, sore boobs and have some cramps. I just want to skip to this time next week so I can test and know either way.

Good luck everyone!

@Baba11 I've had similar feelings....

I've been more than aware of how my womb etc has been feeling over the last few months. In July last year I had 4 tumour/cyst things removed from my ovaries, and my left ovary and tube removed completely. It's all been quite tender in there up until December-ish. Every little pain etc worries me that they had grown back or there was scar tissue attaching itself to my bowel or something.... anyway what I'm trying to say is this feeling is different to any feeling I've had over the last 6 months. This gives me a little glimmer of hope 🤞
We've had such a shit 6 years with family illnesses and loosing close ones, it's about time luck was on our side! Xx

Hey @Baba11 I haven't actually tested yet! Just bought the tests so they are ready for the weekend when i'm close to AF! I know I shouldn't have got them so early though because now I feel like they are staring at me whenever I go for a wee 😂😂

Thanks for the info @CaramelCluster. Always interesting to hear other people's symptoms!

@Elle - have been cramping too today which I never get at this point in my cycle, only thing is that loads of people in my school are sick at the moment so just hoping it's not a bug instead 😅

@Pinkelephant12 I think I'm 9dpo too and planning on testing on the 14th. 😊

Hey @Pinkelephant12 welcome to the group! Clearly we are all as bad as each other 😂 at least the holiday will help take your mind off the wait! 🤞🤞

Can I join? I’m 9 DPO due AF/BFP on the 14th too.

I’m trying everything in my power not to test early, I’m going on holiday on Saturday for a week and don’t want to start the holiday with the disappointment of a BFN! I’m also determined not to take tests with me. Who knew poas could be so addictive!

@MrsMarsden19 no worries hun, hope it helps!

@Elle187 sounds promising, that was something I noticed as cramping only hits me on the day AF starts. So having it a week earlier was strange, so hoping the same for you! Xx

@MrsMarsden19 thank you!! I definitely will! I'll just have to resist the urge to test for the next couple of days! 🙄

@Elle187 good luck and please let us know how you get on 🤞🤞🤞xxx

So I've caved and gone and bought a couple of first responses but I'm going to try and hold off until the weekend so I don't waste them!

I've had quite a lot of cramping today which doesn't usually start this early with AF! I normally don't get anything until it arrives and I never come on early! So fingers crossed that's a good sign 🤞

@CaramelCluster thanks so much for getting back to me I'll keep you all informed in a couple of days xxxx

@MrsMarsden19 I am now 11dpo according to my spike in BBT after ovulation. I was chatting to a friend of mine a couple weeks back and she said she hadn't got a positive until 4/5 days after her missed period. Once you test in a couple days I bet your line will get darker, it'll always vary from woman to woman so keep positive.

@justsparklexx sounds like a good sign indeed! Literally how I got it, just sitting down then kept coming and going. I got my 🤞🏽 for you hun!

Congratulations caramelcluster!! What amazing news💖 I've been getting heart palpitations too, I'll just be sat down and my heart will suddenly race.. also being getting cramps and tugging sensations. Hopefully it's a good sign for me too!

@CaramelCluster if you don't mind me asking the picture of the test below... how many days before your AF are you? That's a good positive mine wasn't that obvious 💕

Thank you @Queenofmyownheart

I had quite a lot of symptoms when I jot them down, some may not be related to it but putting them down if it helps anyone:
Appetite increase (I'd eaten an hour before but then get really hungry again) belly was growling "feeeeeed meeeee" a lot more than usual!
Tugging sensations in the abdomen area, got a couple very mild cramps too. Thought it might be wind though 😂
BBT went higher than before this morning (35.90 which is unusual for me) it's always been 36.80 or below for the past 3 months at its highest.
Lots of toilet breaks - I drink a lot of water normally but this was ridiculous (almost doubled)
Heart palpitations - not sure this was actually a symptom but worth noting I think. I completely ignored it initially; I'm a gamer geek and was playing Resident Evil 2 remake at the time - for those who don't know it's a very tense horror game, and it makes me nervous! 😅
Felt flushed yesterday - my face was quite red which never happens to me (I'm mixed race so honey/caramel complexion) so haven't seen anything like it. also felt quite hot when my partner was warm/cold in the house, which is always the opposite usually!

Hope this helps, we're all different so don't be disheartened with mine or anyone else's symptoms, one of the most common symptoms is breast tenderness, and I can still jump around and slap em with no consequences! Another is implantation bleeding/dip and I also got neither of those.

Ahh congrats @CaramelCluster! Did you have any symptoms? Ooh I'm desperate to test but know it's far too early. Got some IC at home tho, might do one just to ease the desire 😂 at work perusing amazon considering ordering some frer so they will be here by the weekend 😂

Thank you so much ladies, let's hope we get some more BFPs in the next few days too!

Haha @Gilly2505 I'm very tempted to get a digital, I may get one tomorrow/Friday so I have something to show my partner in black and white so to speak.

Thank you all for your help. You've all been so lovely! 💕

Awww yay congratulations @CaramelCluster

I'm sure your line will get darker @MrsMarsden19 like @CaramelCluster said I've seen people have the same problem! I'm sure it's just too early! Or maybe just a dodgy test/not enough pee etc.! They can be a little inconsistent can't they! Part of me wants to grab a first response and test 6 days early but I'm such a wimp 😭
