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

Hey! Thank you so much for replying!

I've noticed slight darkening, and also I've had so much saliva it's a little embarrassing!

There are sooo many different sites with different symptoms I got in a bit of a tizzy about what could just be AF (fingers crossed its not) I'm trying my hardest to hold off testing until next Friday but that is so hard!

I've been getting a feeling today when I sit down like I'm sitting on a stick, hoping this is also a good sign ah!

Baby dust to you too lovely x

Hi @Mgeno4bny! I also am due AF 1st December and I am 10DPO.

So to start with - 3dpo you definitely wouldn't have implanted yet (this is normally 6dpo - 12dpo) so any cramping and bloating then is more than likely other causes.

5dpo a sharp pain in your side is a little early for implantation, but could be - so that might be a positive sign!

Now at 9dpo bloating and light cramping is a good sign that there is plenty of progesterone - this causes wind, bloating, and other such digestive issues. Nipple soreness is good too if that is unusual for you - have you noticed any darkening, or veins noticeable?

My symptoms so far have been sore boobs and hot/sore nipples, metallic taste, tiny amount of pink CM yesterday, light cramping, and backache. I haven't tested at all yet and am going to wait until Monday to test I think, after AF is due. Saves money and frustration on potential false negatives. If you can hold out as long as you possibly can to test that's great, though if you want to try a FRER you may see a result from today onwards - it's still very early though. Ideally you want to be 13dpo+ before testing but that's easier said than done!

There's a great website here Countdown To Pregnancy that shows it's still a less than 50% chance of getting a BFP 9DPO. Even at 15DPO theres still a 6.4% chance of a false negative so the longer, the better good luck and baby dust to you!

Hi all! Apologies for TMI that will follow but this is my first month TTC and I can't stop symptom spotting! AF is due on 01/12 and I'm currently 9dpo.

Ive had the strangest few days! Started on 3dpo with cramping and bloating, by 5dpo I was getting random hot sweats and I got a really sharp pain in my lower left side , and now at 9dpo I'm feelig slightly dizzy and spaced out, hot flushes, wet knickers, very bloated with really light cramps, and when I go for a number 2 I feel a faint pain in my left side again! Also nipples are so so sore, I couldn't wear a bra yesterday evening!

Has anyone else had these kind of symptoms? And when is best to test?!?!

Thanks all x

Ok ok I’ll wait until Thursday morning (maybe Friday) and if AF not here then I’ll test again.

@scaredflamingo, you’re not technically late yet and it was not fmu so you are most definitely not out yet

@shuckle I think I’d have a positive by now? I’m alright, not as sad as I thought I would be. Still feeling sicky but going to try and eat something plain now.

@Wackadoodle84 i'm testing vicariously through other people, it's keeping me going :D From what I gather, continued cramping is good, means the progesterone is still going. If AF is coming the prog stops and falls, then you get AF

@ScaredFlamingo no... nooo.... AF isn't here, you're still in! You could be a late implanter!

I caved... I thought I could see a faint line but it’s not there. It wasn’t FMU but I may be out this month and just unwell!

@Shuckle I’ve just ordered some first response online that won’t be here until next week! The way i am cramping now though I’m pretty sure I’m out this month. I’m laughing here at you trawling for ‘can you see the line’ threads, glad it’s not just me 😂

@scaredflamingo I definitely think if a bfn will be very upsetting then maybe you should hold out until you are late to test

@wackadoodle84 I knowwww but what if it’s negative ... I’m so nervous to test.

@ScaredFlamingo just seen your latest message, my theory would be if your pregnant enough to be having symptoms then surely your pregnant enough for it to show up on a test?

@ElizabethBennet3rd I feel you on the heartburn, mine has been awful! Yeah I would say 9dpo is still likely too early with a FRER, especially if you have only just/not yet implanted.

Welcome @Lucy5546! Id probably until day after your longest cycle, but try not to be too disheartened if its not to be this month, cycles can take a while after coming off the pill! Did you use OPK's this month?

@ScaredFlamingo @Wackadoodle84 keep going, keep going, you can do it . 10DPO today for me and I am still resisting the urge to pee on stuff, its getting very hard!

I had some very light pink CM last night and my metallic taste is still coming and going, plus sore boobs/nipples, really hoping we have some BFP's by the weekend! This last week has DRAGGED and now I want to see some results haha! Resorting to trawling the conception boards for people wanting people to look for lines on their tests!!

Best of luck for tomorrow so @ScaredFlamingo, keeping everything crossed for a nice shiney bfp for you 🤞

@ceebee21 10dpo is still very early, you definitely not out yet

@elizabethbennet3rd the waiting to test is just awful isn’t it, what day are you planning on testing?

@ScaredFlamingo If it's positive you won't care about that last drink, you'll be too excited! And if it's negative you can have the drink - knowing that actually you might get a BFP in a few days but weren't pregnant 'enough' at this point for a glass of vino to do any harm. Not trying to fuel your POAS problem here, just the way I see it. Always manage to talk myself into these things somehow

@elizabethbennet3rd I think with this new development then it might be worth me testing today.. what if it’s all just nothing?! Ahhh I dunno what to do!! Nervous!!
I’ve been sober all month.. if it’s positive then I don’t even get my last drink?! Ha!

@ScaredFlamingo I'm even nervous for you! Are you still adamant you are waiting until Thursday to test? I might be due anywhere between Wed-Sun so I really must wait a while! Ordered FRER on Amazon though, they will arrive tomorrow!

@MummaShu you're not out until AF shows. So many women don't get a BFP until after a missed period, even on tests that say they can pick up early. That 99% accuracy is after the missed AF I think. Their accuracy before AF is lower. Don't give up just yet!

@ElizabethBennet3rd I just bought some tests. So nervous to do them.. if BFN then I’m gonna be sad, if BFP then im gonna panic/freak out... period due tomorrow..

Just took a frer and its a bfn :(. Due on Thursday but thinks its a miss for this month. Best of luck for everyone else though!

@ScaredFlamingo lets hope for knocked up then! Sorry to hear you're feeling poorly though. Get well soon xx

If I’m not pregnant then my body is really evil. Just had to cancel meetings this afternoon as feel like I could vomit any minute or pass out.. or both. Partner taking me home over lunch.
I’m either knocked up or really unwell 😩

@ceebee21 I am in a similar position as I had DEPO for years before TTC. No periods at all. Whilst I'm pretty sure my cycles are back and I'm ovulating regularly, the cycles vary between 28 and 33 days so it's hard to know when AF is due. Pretty sure it should come in the next few days though.

The hardest bit is constantly having no reassurance and therefore convincing myself the symptoms are all in my head and I'll just get AF soon.

@ScaredFlamingo The wine is what gets me through too! Might not be yet so at least I'll have another glass of red tonight before I have to give up my favourite habbit!

@ceebee21
It is really hard but it’s easier than day after day of BFN?
Really sorry to hear about previous MMC.. hopefully soon you’ll get your BFP and have a happy and healthy 9 months.
Hold out testing until the weekend. At least you can have a few glasses of wine if it’s a BFN (if what I’m using to keep myself positive haha!)

I keep coming over super hot but again... could be sick and/or PMS. I can’t decide if I’m feeling pregnant or period or just done with the whole thing already!!

@ElizabethBennet3rd @ScaredFlamingo I know I need to wait - so hard.

I am not sure tbh... I had the implant and didn't have periods throughout!

Came off and fell pregnant straight away - had a BFP 4 weeks to the day after removal, but unfortunately ended in MMC, then after the MMC AF arrived 11DPO, so could well come tomorrow, but maybe Saturday. Who knows!

Hey ladies mind if i tag along.? Im only recently off the pill so i dont know when AF is due. Think its this week. I am on cycle day 29. Last month was 28 days but not classing meself as late yet as id say my cycle is not consistent yet. I havnt had much symptoms just generally tired and a few cramps here and there. When do you guys think i should test? I was thinking the end of the week? I have been feeling like AF is going to make an appearance soon so i dont want to test too early!!
