Hey ladies
I know there's lots of threads out there for this but who's joining me?
I think I'm either 1 or 2 DPO - got a static smiley on a clear blue digital OPK on Wednesday and annoyingly didn't have any IC to test when I did actually O nor am I temping so guessing I O'd either Thursday or Friday.
I am determined NOT to symptom spot but realistically I will 😂

Honest to god 5 mi items ago I was convinced I had no chance as today IV been having thick white cm and IV read somewhere that means af is on the way (not due till a week today) and laid here reading these messages I'm sure something is going on down there... Not period like.... It's so weird. Please say I'm not loosing my mind lol! Xx

Steaming not dreaming!

Plus I'm bloody exhausted- I'm barely awake right now

Rosetinted47 · 16/07/2019 19:13

I caved and ordered FRERs on Amazon, but something went wrong so they aren't arriving til Thursday, so I couldn't test til Friday anyway. Which is probably a good thing!

I've felt rotten all day though, nausea since this morning and a headache. Though headaches are signs of PMT for me and sometimes nausea follows. This time the nausea came first. I work in bridal and damn near fainted dreaming a dress earlier.

Trying to hold out til Saturday! Keep me strong!

Sorry to those with BFNs, it's a really shitty feeling which is why I'm trying to avoid the test this time and wait for AF to show

MrsLBear · 16/07/2019 14:07

Hi ladies
I've sort off been off mn for a few days. Got a bfn 10dpo and I'm 12dpo today and not poas again. Af should start tomorrow well I should start spotting tomorrow. I know I'm out so just want it to hurry up.

@FlorenceLane how you doing? Did af come?

I'm happy for you @Islandermum! Glad to see the line getting darker!! And so early too!

Definitely out, AF arrived this morning. I don't know why I'm surprised, it took ten months to conceive last time so I was really ambitious to think I'd get it in the first month this time. I'm still sad, we DTD so much you'd have thought one would get through?! Anyway, I'm going to suggest a date night with DH this weekend and just eat and drink what I want and try to forget about it all for a little while. Good luck to everyone x

Islandermum · 16/07/2019 10:03

That still sounds ok @FlorenceLane! Some women actually don't get a positive until their missed period. You're still in the game x baby dust x

FlorenceLane · 16/07/2019 08:14

Hey guys,

13dpo today.... Had very very very faint spotting yesterday afternoon of brown blood... But AF hasn't arrived yet.... this is bloody torture!!!!

I had a BFN at 12dpo (morning). So I know it's 99% likely AF is just torturing me and will turn up today...

Baby dust to all xxx

Elles1980 · 15/07/2019 19:15

Aww thank you so much, if it doesn't happen this month (I'm hopeful but quite crampy and no sore boobies) then I'll keep going and drown my sorrows in Ben and Jerry's ice cream haha xx

Islandermum · 15/07/2019 18:50

@Elles1980 possibly wait until Thursday! Also, it's not too common to get a BFP that early too so if you know it will really upset you, wait another two or three days after that. I am hoping for you so much!

Elles1980 · 15/07/2019 15:42

@largepinotplease please.... Limbo is the worst! I'm a friggin maniac lol! @Islandermum I'm not sure when I can test? I'm due on the 23rd and the test says 6 days before so I'm guessing Wednesday morning... To be quite frank and not beat around the bush I'm actually shitting myself because I don't want it to be a negative, my life is kind of on hold at the moment as I'm training to be a personal trainer and I can't exactly be lifting weights etc whilst trying to concieve so I'm on postpone with that (super selfish lol), and at my age 39, with everyone reminding me the clock is ticking it's making me nervous! I feel like a goldfish 🤦🏻‍♀️🤣! So fingers and toes crossed for Wednesday I guess! I'm so great at pep talking but obviously when it's me myself I'll probably be sad for a few days! Hugs to all you ladies, I guess at least we can all start a new 2ww together lol xx

largepinotplease · 15/07/2019 15:03

Congratulations to everyone who's had a BFP! Very exciting. I did a test this morning and it was negative, I feel like AF is going to come any minute, I've not had cramps but just the sensation it's close. According to my app it's due today but I could be out a day or two. Anyway, in my head I know I'm probably out this month but I'll still hold a glimmer of hope until I know for certain if I come on at some point over the next couple of days. I hate this part, if I'm going to come on I just want it to start now and be done so I can move on, can't stand the limbo, it makes it ten times worse 😩 good luck to those still to test x

Islandermum · 15/07/2019 13:56

Sorry to hear about Af and BFNs, giving you lots of baby dust! @Elles1980 when will you test this month? Won't be long now until you can get a faint positive!

Update, I'm now 10dpo and my line is getting stronger on a FRER! Starting to get some symptoms now, I'm so thirsty and my boobs are on fire!

Izzie1994 · 15/07/2019 13:35

Started spotting, I'm out xx see you all in a few weeks time to update on this cycle xx good luck to everyone still waiting xx

Izzie1994 · 15/07/2019 07:37

I've been quite over the weekend because I've been at work xx my boobs have been soooo sore but woke up this morning and they are a lot less painful so I think AF is on her way! X

Elles1980 · 14/07/2019 20:40

Well I'm just stuck in limbo.... I'm either 7 or 8 dpo, I read so much during the week I was convinced I she all of the symptoms and now IV not over the weekend I feel nothing. I ovulate really early so I still have to wait till the 23rd to see if af arrives! Aw ladies who have been hit by mother nature please don't loose hope, try to chill and know it's only 2 weeks till you ovulate again and then the 2ww, break it down a little. Sending you hugs. And the ladies with bfp congratulations it's lovely to hear of the nice stories. As for me, I'll just keep floating around till something happens lol! Xx

Islandermum · 14/07/2019 17:48

Took a frer this afternoon, the line is absolutely there but of course it is still faint!
Hoping 10dpo brings me a clearer line so I can show you all a picture/feel confident!
Pregnancy after loss is really hard and I'm feeling all confused right now but hopefully this is a sticky one 🤞

Islandermum · 14/07/2019 17:47

Ladies, you aren't out until af rears her head! Giving you all of my baby dust and luck for this cycle. Remember, you are one month closer to having you BFP!!

LouLouB1987 · 14/07/2019 17:00

10 or 11dpo and BFN on FRER this morning sooooo guessing I can expect AF to show her ugly face this week.

Was hoping after first round IVF ended in MC we might just catch naturally but looking like we'll need to use our little frozen bean 💜

Congrats @Islandermum ! Seeing that lovely line on anyones test never gets old 😍

Dexysmidnightrunner · 14/07/2019 13:35

@Islandermum, congrats on your BFP! Great news!

AF arrived this morning so on to the next cycle. Feeling pretty grumpy today and trying to keep at bay the feelings of panic that it just might not happen for us

FlorenceLane · 14/07/2019 13:04

Hi everyone, I hope you don't me joining?

I'm 11dpo, and had a BFN last night...

This is so bloody disheartening. Feeling moody today so AF is probably going to show it's face in next 48 hours. Anyone else also hide themselves away to wallow after BFN or AF arrives?

Xxx

maria2bela · 14/07/2019 12:19

@MrsLBear you're not out until AF arrives!! Don't give up, keep going we will get there eventually. We will be cycle buddies for an August BFP hopefully!

@Islandermum That is FAB!!!! Very happy for you! Yes test with a FRER to confirm, but those lines look good enough to me :)

Islandermum · 14/07/2019 10:44

So excited! Now we just have to wait until af has passed and maybe we can be excited? I honestly feel like I can't believe it. Tbh I need a clear line on a FRER to be satisfied that it's real!!

mushroommayhem · 14/07/2019 10:40

@Islandermum thank you! I see yours clearly!! Fingers crossed we have sticky BFPs this time around. Definitely use the First Responses when they arrive, but I'd say an obvious line on yours Grin

Islandermum · 14/07/2019 10:36

@maria2bela @MrsLBear I'm so sorry ladies, it's a really disheartening feeling when Af arrives. Sending lots of love and baby dust.

Tested this morning 9dpo but with a cheapo v unsensitive Tesco test and I've got another faint positive. I do have some FRERs on the way from Amazon so I'm hoping to get a bit of a clearer positive later on!
@mushroommayhem what incredible lines! Congratulations, I have a MC in may so I completely feel the same!

You might not even be able to see a second line in this picture but this is this morning test x

mushroommayhem · 14/07/2019 10:10

Hi ladies hope it's okay if I join! I'm 9dpo and think I got my BFP yesterday at 8dpo - tested again today and it's definitely a positive, but I'm just hoping it sticks as I've had a chemical before. It's really, really early so definitely shocked to have lines and worried it's not going to stick.
