Eeek today I got my first flashing smiley face on clearblue digital opk, how long should I expect it to be flashy before turning static? Anyone used these? X

This is only first cycle... although we had been trying earlier in the year until I decided against it and got implant. I hadn't had a period since DS2 so couldn't really properly track anything.

We can't try again until January after this, December is out. Will be making the most of the alcohol, pate and soft cheese...two of which I have tonight. WineXmas Smile

@Waiting1987 did you order? I've looked at that a few times and wondered whether it was worth it or not, how long did you say you'd been trying for? Xx

@Lori86 that sounds really promising 🤞🤞. Everything crossed you get bfp soon. I've already ordered some Blush. I know I would use the ones I already have before test day! Can't stop poas

@Lori86 just going to go check it out.
@Waiting1987 ahhh testing week.. exciting. Can't wait to see what happens this week xx

OP posts:
Waiting1987 · 08/12/2019 21:37

I can't see anything yet @Mich2020 , but might be clearer in real life. At least last week is over and it's now going to be testing week.

I definitely got a negative about 10dpo and positive 11dpo last time.

If I got a bfp I would die of shock. I've never had less cramping in my life than the last few days. Angry

Lori86 · 08/12/2019 21:26

I don't want to fuel anyones poas addiction but I just saw that the first response early test are on offer on amazon 😂. I've ordered a pack!!

@Lori86 yes I know it's majorly early and there's nothing there just had to post haha. Felt good just to poas though 🙈
Ahh well that's a good sign for you 😊 not good that your feeling rubbish but that you've experienced that before when pregnant. fingers crossed we are around the same time. I will hold off testing again now until I've ordered some more cheapies in. Probs around Wednesday/ Thursday xx

@Mich2020 I don't see anything but as you say it's early days. I honestly wouldn't even know where to begin with my cervix 😂!! I feel so weird today, I was in tesco earlier & suddenly felt ravenously hungry. I literally felt like I would pass out if I didn't get food right away, I remember feeling like that in early pregnancy with my wee boy & I've been so nauseous since. Trying not to think about it too much, I'm probably just coming down with a dose (hopefully not!!). I ended up doing another one of the cheap amazon ones when I got home & no surprise it was negative. Of course it would be as I'm only 7 or 8 dpo & it wasn't even fmu but I was just so curious.

@Waiting1987 eek I hope so. Keeping fingers crossed for us both xx

Ahhh your symptoms sound so good! @Mich2020 . The last cycle I got pregnant in my symptoms started about 3dpo and were really noticeable.

I wonder when I'll get a period and whether cycles will regulate now.

Mich2020 · 08/12/2019 13:27

@Waiting1987 haha 😂 I'm not sure what it means anyway. I've logged it on my app just incase. I have such bad stomach cramps at times and other times it's just a little twinge here and there. Boobs are sore. And sure they have already grown but this is normal before AF anyway. My app says 6 days until pregnancy test. I will try and hold out. But I think if I order some cheapies then I won't feel so bad wasting them, not going to order frer this early on xx

OP posts:
Waiting1987 · 08/12/2019 13:12

So glad I'm not alone @Lori86 . I also did a cheapie and an opk today .

I have zero symptoms! Not even a hint of a cramp or sore boob. I can't even try to convince myself of a twinge.Angry

@Mich2020 I've never been sure about cervix! I saw a picture of one once and was so horrified I try not to think about them. Blush

Mich2020 · 08/12/2019 11:28

Ah trust me I've been thinking about it and I know there would be 0 chance it would say positive as I'm so early on. Need to order some cheapies as I won't hold out that long without testing and won't be wasting too much money if I get the cheap ones.
My boobs still very sore. Does anyone track cervix? Don't really do it but was in the shower and tried and I couldn't even reach mine so it's very high up. Don't know what that means really though lol xx

OP posts:
Lori86 · 07/12/2019 20:19

@Waiting1987 I did one today too even though I knew it was too early, although it was one of those cheap ones from amazon. It was negative too. I got like 20 of them for a few pound so I don't feel bad wasting it!!

Waiting1987 · 07/12/2019 14:07

I did a frer today Blush. Obviously negative as I'm only about 6 dpo max 7. What is wrong with me...

Lori86 · 06/12/2019 20:41

I'll probably try to leave it until Friday of next week. My af would be due on 16th ish if its a 25 day cycle. My cycles are all over the place though so not sure when to test really. I'm out for drinks next weekend so I'd like to test before that as I reckon it'll be a messy one!!

Mich2020 · 06/12/2019 15:17

Yes it would be great. When are you testing? Xx

OP posts:
Lori86 · 06/12/2019 14:11

@Mich2020 fingers crossed. It'd be so lovely if some of us (obv hopefully all of us) got our bfp.

Mich2020 · 06/12/2019 13:41

@Lori86 had my first peak on the 1st so I think the 2nd, this is way to early to have any sort of symptoms I know. But just feel crappy. Never feel this bad after ovulation xx

OP posts:
Lori86 · 06/12/2019 13:36

@Mich2020 that all sounds promising. How many days ago did you ovulate?
@Waiting1987 don't rule it out yet, every pregnancy is different. Hope you're feeling better soon x @Wantywanty same to you, don't rule it out yet. Fingers crossed for you all.
I've been getting cramps the last 2 days & quite a lot of cm plus the boob pain, sounds positive but I've never really paid that much attention to how I feel at this time of the month before so I don't know if that's how I always am!!

Ahh afternoon ladies. Last night was awful, was sick during the early hours and didn't have much sleep. These cramps are on and off and generally feeling pretty poo. I have my works night out tonight bingo and a few drinks 😞 but feeling yucky so don't know how far I'll get.
Shame about your bfn but it maybe too early.xx

OP posts:
Waiting1987 · 06/12/2019 09:25

Definitely don't think you are out then @Wantywanty . You might only be 9dpo! I was still getting negatives until I think 11dpo.
