Hi guys, I'm currently 7dpo and losing my mind 😂 I tested this morning like an idiot and of course it was a bfn. I have had a couple of symptoms, but honestly I could just be clutching at straws.
Ovia says AF is due this Saturday, I'm just looking for some pals maybe to see out the next few days?

Good luck to those testing 🤞🏻
Sorry to hear af got you @SS123456

I’ve tested again and the line is stronger today. I’ve also been up since god knows when, couldn’t sleep. Think it’s just a bit of anxiety!

MrsSharpie · 26/01/2020 08:27

Good luck to everyone testing today... I should have listened to that article and waited. As you'd expect BFN!! AF is due Thursday but I need to know why I've got this dizziness /nausea symptoms!

@Rybenka I can completely relate to this. I think I’m 8DPO and have been feeling on and off cramping, I’m sure I’m not just imagining it because I wake in the night and usually I’m a good sleeper.
I have no idea of when my period would be due as I came off the pill recently. For me it doesn’t feel like period pains but then I think maybe it’s different since I came off the pill!
I don’t want to waste tests either but then I see people getting positive at 8DPO and I’m tempted even though I know it’s the minority!

Hello ladies,
I am resisting the urge to test yet...i am about 7-10 dpo, however i have longer cycles, hence not expecting my period for another 4-7days.
Maybe i am paying too much attention to this, but over the last few days, I've had mild cramps in my abdomen, struggled to sleep for a few nights now, and I've been pretty snappy at my DH (for no reason).
Anyone else having these symptoms?
It could be PMS however it's too early for that!
I know if i do a test now, I'll be doing them for another week nonstop and that's emotionally hard (and expensive)...

@mumworkstudywine we have everything closed for you. Hopeful for a darker line for you in the morning. Keep us posted x

lostfrequencies · 25/01/2020 22:39

@mumworkstudywine fingers crossed for you

SS123456 · 25/01/2020 22:31

Looks like I'm out, AF has just shown up 😩. Good luck ladies! 😁🤞🏻

MrsCOR · 25/01/2020 22:22

@mumworkstudywine - have everything crossed that you get a stronger bfp tomorrow!!! 🤞🤞🤞

mumworkstudywine · 25/01/2020 21:28

Update! So, still can't upload any pics. This morning I got a faint BFP on a Lloyd's early detection and on a CB ultra early test. No bright right bleeding today, which is good although a bit of yellow CM. Still having pretty gnarly stomach cramping low down and half expect AF to turn up tomorrow. I'm a bit of a nervous wreck so please cross your fingers for me. I've got some more tests (this is getting expensive) so I'm hoping to post a good update in the morning. 🤞🤞🤞🤞

@MrsSharpie - I was thinking of purchasing a more expensive brand but I just want a digital once I see 2 lines on my cheapest! It was payday for me too 🤣

MrsSharpie · 25/01/2020 19:44

@MrsCOR I got the clear blue triple pack and the FRER double pack 😂😂 It was payday yesterday so sprung for the branded 🤣

MrsCOR · 25/01/2020 19:31

@MrsSharpie - Yep I did exactly the same thing! Damn Amazon Prime! Which tests did you purchase? I bought the MomMed ones - pack of 20 for £10 🤣

MrsSharpie · 25/01/2020 19:27

@MrsCOR I know... The temptation 😩 I didn't buy any tests... But stupid amazon prime means they're arriving tonight 🤣

MrsCOR · 25/01/2020 19:11

@MrsSharpie welcome!!

It is hard to not symptom spot - I have had very similar symptoms to you though. Currently 10/11 dpo and I think I am experiencing implantation bleeding. Testing every morning because it's difficult to resist - I dont know how people do it! I really want to hold off until Monday now but know I will probably cave in tomorrow morning 🤣

MrsSharpie · 25/01/2020 18:49

Agree! Thanks for posting! I'm going to try and wait... So hard though 😩

SS123456 · 25/01/2020 18:38

Thanks @LauraJayne15 that's a really helpful article

LauraJayne15 · 25/01/2020 16:46

@MrsSharpie fingers crossed for you! I’ve tested so many times this cycle and I’m getting a bit fed up. I think it’s best to hold off if you can

I read this article last night and it’s made me reconsider whether early testing is helping me or making me think about it more. I think it will be different for everyone 🤔

Bit late to the party but can I join in please?

After either a chemical or physical symptoms of stress so took the advise of my doc and tried to destress and calm down... Then got flu for 3 weeks over Christmas and now even though I've been trying not to think of it, it's getting harder to ignore some things...

Currently 9/10 dpo... And yesterday (tmi warning!!) pretty sure there was a little spotting but black knickers so only 80% sure. Keep getting little dizzy spells during and been sooo tired. This morning I woke early but exhausted so have spent the day on the couch. On top of everything else my stomach hasn't exactly been cramping just bloating and a feeling of light abdomen pressure that I've not experienced before.

It's my birthday in a few days and the same day AF is due so I'd really like to hold off testing ... But today I'm finding it really hard not to test!

MrsCOR · 25/01/2020 16:00

@CouscousEvaporator - haven't had anything else since. Was enough to notice it on the toilet paper but it hasn't increased which is good. Been having cramps and a pressure feeling around the same area. Totally convinced I am pg now so fx I get a bfp to show dh 🥰🤞🤞

CouscousEvaporator · 25/01/2020 15:55

Aw that will be lovely timing @MrsCOR 🤞🏻🤞🏻

MrsCOR · 25/01/2020 13:30

I have just had a pink tinge on toilet paper today - never experienced spotting before and I think this might be IB? Af not due for 4 days (Wednesday) and usually starts with strong cramps and brown cm which I haven't had. So excited to test now on Monday, DH's birthday! Fx 🥰

LauraJayne15 · 25/01/2020 10:10

Great news @mumworkstudywine and @couscous 🥳

BFN for me this morning. No idea what’s going on with my body. 13 DPO and no sign of AF either. The pink/light brown spotting that I had earlier in the week has stopped. Fingers crossed there’s something in there and my HCG levels just need to build up

CouscousEvaporator · 25/01/2020 10:03

Congratulations to you as well @mumworkstudywine
Sorry was rude of me, was in total shock
Fingers crossed for sticky beans xx

CouscousEvaporator · 25/01/2020 10:02

Thanks! I’m 10dpo. I keep looking at it and it’s getting pinker and pinker.
Must act normal now as I have a full house 😂

eatanazurecrayon · 25/01/2020 09:50

@CouscousEvaporator @mumworkstudywine congrats 🥳
