14dpo

@gg321 your bladder control is IMMENSE. I am weeing every hour at least to see if AF had come or if my spotting has gone (no change!) cheers 🥂 and enjoy your drink!

@WatchOutLurkerAbout did you test this eve?

I'm really sorry @gg321 but I gotta say a massive WOW to that bladder control! I only manage that on days where i don't have time to drink so a trip to the loo is never going to happen. I'm feeling quite antsy after waiting four hours atm

Ha @WatchOutLurkerAbout I can appreciate that! I wish I just had a conclusive answer.

Hello @indigo89 😊 Keep us posted if you test!

Hi
I've no idea how many dpo I am, or if I'm even ovulating at all as I'm still bf-ing 17month old DD.
But, I'm 14dppo(possible ovulation) as I noticed ewcm then so we DTD several times in hope more than anything.

I'd kind of forgotten about it but felt nauseous in the car yday, and the smell of a damp towel my DH left in his gym bag made me gag, then I went to get my nails done and the smell of the polish was different and overwhelming but the beautician says it's the same as always, not a new brand.

This would be my only symptom though. No periods to wait for, always tired with DD anyway so can't tell any different. Feel like it's very unlikely I'm even ovulating so don't want to get my hopes up. Maybe test on the weekend.

@Wise0wl totally get that, im the opposite lol the more I know the calmer I am! Not knowing drives me round the bend!

Sometimes it’s best to prepare for the worst (and any good news is positive!) I still have everything crossed @WatchOutLurkerAbout

I haven’t used a FRER yet, am going to get one later this week but feel weirdly nervous and keep waiting for AF in the meantime. I don’t temp because I can get quite obsessive about things and so trying to keep it chilled to save my mental health! I refused to test until AF was late for the same reason (but obvs it’s all I can think about!)

Sorry don't know how or why that went into bold lol

Thanks @Wise0wl tbh I'm not holding out hope of any good news. Don't know why I'm just convinced it's going to be a really bad verdict. I won't have time to do any tests in the morning as I'm on my own with my two year old and two dogs and got to get out of the house lol. Tbh though if I'm not getting a positive at 9 days late then it's not good fmu wouldn't make that much difference this late.

Have you used a frer @Wise0wl? Do you temp or anything?

Ahh @WatchOutLurkerAbout 🤞🤞🤞 for Thursday for you, I hope it gives you some reassurance and information. Could you take a FRER on Thursday morn? That way you’d know before your appointment too...

Waiting is hard though.

I’m on CD32 (had regular 28 day cycles) and no AF, still a bit of brown spotting and feeling very nauseous like yesterday.

Congrats @DiaryOfaTTCer! I knew you were from your post so glad I was right. I remember that feeling in the end I rang my best mate lol

@EmmaMCS I'm right there with you with my head all over the place. Makes it really hard to enjoy time with my son because half of my head is always elsewhere.

Thank you @Wise0wl we started investigations last month due to the number of mcs - I've had five since January. Our appointment is on Thursday to find out our first lot of results. I'm cacking myself not going to lie.

Well AF is now officially 9 days late at 18dpo. I always have a really short luteal phase at max 10 days and my cycle is never more than 30 days at max atm I'm on 36 days. I've been feeling lightheaded and nauseas after food but that's not unusual I get that when AF is due too. I've got some FRERs coming this afternoon. I'm at work at 7am tomorrow and won't have chance to do one in the morning so tempted to do one tonight but I know when it's negative I'll just make excuses.

I missed this earlier but HUGE congratulations @DiaryOfaTTCer !!! Such amazing news!!

Thank you @Wise0wl!! So glad you all think Clear Blue are no good - I was so cross with that stick this morning! Lol. I have another cheapie one I will try again with tomorrow, and see what it's looking like. I just have no other explanation for what's gone on with me the last few days.

Huge congratulations @DiaryOfaTTCer and fingers crossed for you all ladies!

Hello @emmamcs and welcome!

I think we all need to ban the Clear Blues and invest in some FRERs... none of us have had any luck with the Clear Blues at all!

You’re not out til AF comes so 🤞will you get another test and test again, do you think?

So glad I found you ladies - prepare for my rambling emotional outburs!! I'm 17 dpo, and started spotting/light bleeding at 11 dpo - AF not due until 4 days later. Spotting lasted 4 days (and it was deffo just spotting though it was quite red in colour) with the faintest cramps for an hour or so to start with. Definitely wasn't AF, which is usually bang on time and pretty heavy (I use a cup so always see that there's a fair bit in there!) So I think I'm technically 2 days late for AF, did a cheapie test yesterday and was sure I could see the faintest something, but then did a Clear Blue one this morning and was a bfn. Is there still hope for me?? My boobs are so tingly and I thought I was going to throw up all day yesterday!!!!! I have one gorgeous DD and had a miscarriage earlier this year so really anything could happen.... So heartbroken and confused, cried all the way in to work this morning. Every hour I change my mind about what's going on and it's torture!! xxx

So organised to have so many tests @Blondeandbroody ! I’m glad I’m not the only one with spotting, I was worried it meant AF was on the way.

I’m going to hold off testing til at least tomorrow, and enjoy a glass of wine tonight. Am now 4 days late!

It’s so inconvenient to try and test and use FMU on a weekday and then have to go to work.

@DiaryOfaTTCer congratulations x

Ahhh I got a BFP! Absolutely stunned! I had a feeling as I took my temp this morning and it’s the highest it’s ever been.

I can’t believe I lasted until 20 dpo to test!

This was our first month using clear blue opks and pre-seed so would deffo recommend.

Omg what am I meant to do now? I can’t tell my partner until we are both home from work so got to hold this in all day!

Ah yeah silly me..
I may hold out a couple of days I'm not hopeful though.

It's a first response early response test. It's the most sensitive one you can get I think? @Brookepardoe1

What's a FRER trst? Lol

@Brookepardoe1
I'd try again with a different test, every pregnancy will be different, you're not out until AF shows.

@Wise0wl I've had some brown spotting last 2 days but really minor 🤔 trying not to think into it too much! Key word is trying!

I have my FRERs ready and waiting haha I went a bit nuts and bought 4 different brands of tests so I have good stock!

I get up and wee quickly in the morning so that I resist the urge to test as it gets closer to my AF due date.

@Brookepardoe1I’m sorry, @Blondeandbroody is right though. I think all of us on here need to get a FRER!

@gg321 if you can hold your wee for 6 hours you’re a stronger woman than I am!

I’m not feeling so confident. Still feel sick and not right, but this is my 4th day of brown spotting (only when I wipe, sorry if TMI!) 😕 going to wait until at least tomorrow to test again, fingers crossed if you test again earlier all!

@Blondeandbroody i havent tried anuthing else aoart feom cheapeis reli. With my last two pregnancies i think I tested posirive earlier so i wanst sure if that was me out and me just imagining it. Thougjt i would hsve had a bfp by now.
