TWW. AF DUE 30/11 ANYONE ELSE IN THE TWW

Morning ladies! Wow congrats @Shuckle thats definitely a positive!

Update: heartburn is still here and killing me! Cramps, sore boobs and lots of creamy CM still but NO AF. AF due between yesterday and Sunday (ish). I have a FRER but I'm afraid to use it! I don't want to be disappointed.

@ScaredFlamingo when are you going to test? I assume the bloods won't come back for a few days from docs? Your symptoms sound promising though!

@Wackadoodle84 sorry about the BFN. No af yet though means you're not quite out! Keep positive. I read yesterday that FRER is only 99% accurate if taken with FMU after the missed period. Whilst it CAN detect pregnancy sooner, it doesn't mean it always does - especially if you're still not passed the missed af date or testing with less concentrated urine.

@shuckle OMG congratulations!!!! I am so happy for you!! X

12DPO on a cheap home bargains early response

I got a positive this morning

I'm in utter shock

@scaredflamingo fingers crossed for you! I'm still symptom spotting, driving myself and DH insane

@wackadoodle84 It does, which makes me more nervous. See how today goes. They said up to a week but I’ll be calling tomorrow if AF hasn’t shown up and if no result then I’ll test Saturday morning.

Oh no?! Fingers crossed it’s not AF!!

Symptoms sound very promising @scaredflamingo, when do you get your blood results?

Not testing, bfn on frer yesterday, feeling very crampy and pre AF today, she is due today and am sure she will be checking on before the end of the day or at worst tomorrow

Update while I wait for blood test results...
Nausea this morning again
No AF yesterday
Back/butt cheek ache like sciatica down my legs yesterday
Restless muscles again
Gums started bleeding a bit this morning
And randomly noticed my lips are super plumped since weekend... like I’ve just had my filler topped up haha!

All of this could well be AF messing with me but we will see!!

How is everyone else today? Anyone testing today?

@CrazyCoonz ah thanks! Maybe not out just yet then, good luck with everything x

Congratulations @CrazyCoonz!!!!! X

@Shuckle I used an internet cheapie initially, got a very very faint line at 10dpo, also faint line on Sainsbury's own test. Then 11dpo got strong positive from fmu on Sainsbury's test and then positive boots digital test.

@HugeAgeGap Yeah this time nothing cm wise after 6 dpo and then today I've had a lot of runny cm to the point that I was checking I wasn't bleeding. All fine though so fingers crossed. Last time I remember having a lot of white cm for several weeks.

@CrazyCoonz sorry to hear about your previous mc, hopefully this time will be smooth sailing!

I've heard a lot about the cm, did it calm down again after the 5/6 day mark?

@CrazyCoonz congratulations!! which test did you use?

@Wackadoodle84 @LEBW yes, imagine me pink panther-style creeping around the house to find different light sources.. even offering my cat to have a sniff of the test to see if she reacts weirdly (she did, she looked at me like i'm mental)

@LEBW put the tests down!!!! haha. 7dpo way too early even for a FRER, its only going to frustrate and disappoint you further... or give you line headaches

@HugeAgeGap that was something I did notice actually. I had two days of thick white CM at 5/6 dpo which is unusual for me. The only other time I had experience that was before I found out I was pregnant in May (ended as MMC at 14w).

@Wackadoodle84 no i havnt tested yet. Im trying to hold off as long as i can. Im not sure of DPO. According to CM at the time about 15 DPO now. Im CD 30 but not sure of my cycles yet since coming off BC.

@shuckle that made me laugh about the light. I'm the same. I often make myself have a headache from staring. Then have argument with DH that there is a line (him telling me there isn't) then send 25 pictures of it to my sister who is also TTC to see her opinion haha

I'm glad I came across this chat!!! I'm meant to be testing on Saturday at the very earliest but currently running up a £9 tab on pregnancy tests - all BFN obvs as I'm only 7dpo.

Why am I doing it to myself ?!!

So far this month I've been off coffee (then been fine with it), weird cramps and ate something spicy earlier and was convinced it was spicier than ever. Pretty sure I'm going mad.

@Shuckle am laughing at your thorough examination of your test under every light source possible, that’s exactly what I do 🤣🤦‍♀️ Hopefully it will turn into a bfp for you in the next few days

@ScaredFlamingo did gp give you any indication of when you will have blood results, fingers crossed for you that your bfp is cooking!

@ElizabethBennet3rd you are certainly Geri g plenty of symptoms. Heartburn is awful, I can remember during my last pregnancy I got to the stage where I carried a bottle of gavison around in my handbag so I could take swigs out of it as needed (classy lady 😉)

@Lucy5546 I might have missed this but have you tested yet? When are you due?

@VaggieMight any updates for us? Hope the spotting has settled down

@CrazyCoonz congrats! That's a nice early positive!! Can I ask what ur cm was like from ov onwards? I'm 8dpo today, does not feel like my month at all :-( things are like clockwork exactly same as previous!

AF due tomorrow but got my BFP today on a digital test, 11 dpo! Had a faint positive yesterday but wasn't sure if it was an evap.

Symptoms were vomited yesterday morning, have been exhausted today. Woke up in the night needing a wee and starving! Had to go and make some toast and couldn't get back to sleep.

@ElizabethBennet3rd I'm 11DPO today and AF due anywhere between Monday 25th (past that now obv) and Sunday 1st December so we're moving through the week but not out of the woods yet! No sign of af yet, plenty of heartburn and feeling a bit sick this afternoon. I don't have a FRER in the house and I work out of town where it's awkward to get to somewhere that sells them so luckily that's keeping me away from the tests now! Gonna have to test at the weekend though if still nothing, I literally can't bear to start next week without knowing

So im cycle day 30 today and my symptoms have all vanished. Just still have a wet feeling down there. Im running to the bathroom every so often to make sure its not AF. Ugh bodies are so confusing!!

@elizabethbennet3rd Yep, but we’re all in same boat!! How are you? Heartburn still bad?? Do you usually get it?

Try and hold out until after missed period!!!

@ScaredFlamingo Ugh how annoying for you. More waiting.....! How a few days feel like a lifetime.

@elizabethbennet3rd I’m still nauseous, no sign of AF and now waiting on the blood test from Dr to see if a BFP ...! I could test but Dr said she thinks still bit early for urine test. Af due today or tomorrow so if she’s not come by Friday morning and blood test results not back then I’ll test then!
