TWW - currently 6dpo!

Welcome @Blondie7187. Sorry to hear about your loss. Hopefully this is your month.
@HugeAgeGap I’m not testing until I’m definitely late because I also have a higher risk of miscarriage. It’s too emotionally draining. I hope this one sticks for you.
@botbird84 I also had a few drinks last night and I don’t feel guilty because there’s a strong chance I’m not pregnant. I’ve opted out of a few things because of the tww and it hasn’t happened so I decided to not go crazy but to have some wine with a meal and a toast at midnight yesterday. I have a feeling I had a glass of wine the night before my bfps with my dds too. Maybe relaxing a bit will help!
Still no signs here that can’t be attributed to other things. My resting hr is still up from normal though. If I can wait that long I will test on Monday.

@Blondie7187 sorry to hear that 😔 think it might be a bit early, implantation usually occurs between 6-12 DPO xx

Hi, is it ok if I join?! So I think I'm about 5dpo didn't try to hard this month for it to happen but didn't prevent it either. Thing is today I have been feeling very nauseous and was nearly sick, very unlike me. Is there any way that could be a symptom of is it far too soon for that? Going to stay away from tests as long as possible but it's so hard 🙈

I am trying my best not to symptom spot or let the mind wander as we did manage to get pregnant back in April but sadly had a miscarriage at 8 weeks!

Sending you all baby dust 💕

Hey ladies. So AF was due today and hasn't arrived 🤔 last month the first day was unusually light but the following day was the usual. Today I've had no signs at all. Did a FRER Sunday and ICs since then, all BFN. I have one FRER and one IC test left, might hold out until the weekend and see what happens. Got rather too merry as I was convinced I was out this month, now I'm starting to think that was a bad idea! 😭

@Sunshinexx95 thank you. I think your lines are getting darker. I'm no expert at all, but I do wonder if the urine u use at the time of day makes a difference, I think for comparison of lines u ideally need to do same time each day so the urine is roughly same dilution, that might help. I did my 11dpo FRER this morning with FMU and dipped it. I'm not due AF until Sunday, so just gonna leave the tests now and see what happens...

@Crazymummyto3 it is a worry isn't it. I think u gotta try to not torture yourself about it, your body will do what it will do regardless of tests. That's easier said than done! I think I'm so relaxed about it because I kinda don't think this is gonna properly happen for me. This is my second (massive gap) but I had a bit of treatment on my cervix couple years ago which gives a higher miscarriage rate, so we'll just see. I'm pleased to know that partner and I biology bits are working ok though :-)

@Sunshinexx95 Those lines are definitely getting darker! I don't have any more FRER. I took the other Morrison's test this morning and the line leant look any darker which is making me worry, but the IC is much darker. My Clearblue digital which was due to arrive tomorrow is now saying Friday 😩 I don't even really know when AF is due as I'm currently cd31 and my cycles have varied between 27 and 33/days.

The top ones in the photos are yesterday and bottom ones are today.

@HugeAgeGap we r really cycle sisters. Congrats againI am 13 dpo and af is due on Saturday but my positive isn't that strong which is making me nervous
Xx

@Crazymummyto3 thanks lovely. It did come up pretty quick and is fairly dark, AF due on Sunday so still really early, see how it goes!!

@Togetherismyfavouriteplace symptoms sound really positive, just hang in there before testing as long as you can as it's disappointing getting a potential false positive etc

@Togetherismyfavouriteplace It sounds to me like you could have ovulated later. I would test again in a couple of days

@HugeAgeGap That's a really strong positive, huge congratulations to you ☺️ Hopefully we'll be able to go through this journey together ☺️

Morning everyone! Need some advice please as currently symptom spotting and driving myself insane!

Took ovulation tests this month and got my surge CD12 which is really early as I have a 29-30 day cycle on average.
I kept taking the test to see how the line faded but it darkened again on CD15 (which is more like when I’d expect it).

I’ve been working by the first surge on CD12 meaning I’m currently 13DPO but not due on for another 4-5 days.

I’ve felt different this month - had dull aches in my right ovary, my boobs have been really sore and firm and I’ve been exhausted! Today I’ve woken up to spotting!! Which I never ever get - it’s far too early and I’m usually spot on with when I predict AF to arrive. I never spot in the run up.

Don’t want to get my hopes up as it probably will end up just being AF but I’m clinging on to the possibility that maybe I didn’t actually ovulate until CD15 meaning I’m actually only 10DPO and would explain all the BFNs I’ve been getting on IC’s.
If I get no more spotting, I might go and get a couple of FRER to do tomorrow or Friday . Just driving myself mad! X

11dpo today and did a FRER with FMU, pic below. No symptoms whatsoever.
Wishing lots of luck to the other girls on the forum, can sympathise with all the bfn and bfp emotions x

Baby dust for everyone for 2020

@AliSxo feeling much the same! Last month I spotted for 2 days before AF came in full force, gosh it's shitty isn't it! There's still time for 2020 to be out hear ❤️

And at 11DPO I've started cramping and spotting like AF is coming 😩 don't think I'll bother testing tomorrow, see if AF comes or not and back to CD1 😢

If AF comes earlier for me that will be a shorter cycle than last month, since my periods returning from last bub I've had 45, 33 day cycles, how many dpo does everyone usually get AF? I'm all for it shortening, means we can try again sooner, if we don't have any success after feb cycle we'll break until June to avoid a Christmas/jan baby as my brothers always hated their bdays so close to Xmas then my son is a feb baby, sorry for the rant, two more months of possibilities to achieve the gap we wanted 🙏🏻

Happy new year everyone ❤️
I am having really bad cramping and back ache just like af is about to show her face.. I'm really worried about chemical miscarriages but I really wish it won't happen.
Pray for me please
Xxx

BTW we're all amazing. TTC is like the fucking hunger games but we're all muddling through! Good luck to everyone in 2020 xxxx

To those that have your BFPs, massive congrats! To those have haven't, get drunk while you can and fingers crossed for next cycle!

@AliSxo try and have a good evening, I'll defo join you on next cycles thread. Big hugs to you all xxx

Congratulations to all of the BFP’s on here! So happy for you all! X

@AliSxo - I really feel your pain! Had a false result from an IC this morning, Tried another and got a negative, then wasted my last clear blue and got a negative too. Feel like I’m definitely out this month and feel really deflated x
