May Bus Continued...

@EllieJai44 yeah those are the ones I've got and they were delivered! Good old amazon ;)

@notyetamumbuttrying oh thats a shame! The second cheap brand I've found good is Home Bargains ones but also First response are good and you can get them delivered lol

Wow and so cheap too! @EllieJai44 my nearest ones is miles away and don't fancy London buses at this time so I'll sit tight with the ones I've got for now but good to know these are out there!

@notyetamumbuttrying they say they have sensitivity of 20miu and I think first response is around 8miu 🤔 but these deffo have given me stronger lines! They come in packs of 2 for 99p!

@Noble89 Thank you, I really hope so! It was red and only once when I wiped so wasnt a lot

@EllieJai44 AHH that line is coming on lovely! Definitely seems like a sticky bean 😊. Well the spotting started yesterday afternoon so I guess I should know on the next 24-48 hours if it was implantation. I really don't think I'm pregnant though so not holding out much hope. Was it brown bleeding? Mine is like brown discharge not red bleeding if you know what I mean?

@MrsDh2019 I know it COULD be implantation but my gut just tells me it's not. I didn't have IB with my previous pregnancy and I got a clear BFP at 11DPO last time where this time I've got a very clear BFN at 11DPO.

@Kodaamom have you tested again today? Spotting early on can be completely normal so try not to worry

@Noble89 wow how weird! Are you 13dpo today? Yeah same, only when I wipe and it's dry too. I reckon we didn't get positives because implantation wasn't finished yet. It takes 48 hours for hcg to detect from implantation. And 12dpo is usually the latest it happens. Maybe we all implanted late? Seems unlikely tho eh lol! But still likely as well lol! Have you been pregnant before?
@Kodasmom will you test again now or wait until AF is missed?
@EllieJai44 those tests look awesome! I didn't even know B&M did pg tests! Are these early detection ones then?

@Kodasmom I saw your test and I deffo see a line! Its amazing at how much different brands can show line, ive taken some cheap strips that show really faint and then I've taken others that show dark!

These ive found to be the best, they are Clear and Simple test from B&M

Morning everyone.

@Noble89 @notyetamumbuttrying girls I’ve had af like cramping for 3 days now and brown spotting when I wipe just in the morning. I don’t know if there’s something not right or it’s normal. And as you know I got a faint BFP yesterday morning. It’s like our bodies are playing tricks on us.

@EllieJai44 that looks good 😍 I’m going to test Sunday again and I’m hoping for a stronger line like that.

@SmileyT I will test Sunday I think as I’m an idiot who tested last night and got a BFN. I expected it so don’t know why I tested. I told my hubby and he said maybe it’s just hiding from us for now 😪😭 which of course made me emotional ..
are you testing Saturday or Sunday?

@Noble89 definitely messing with my head! 🤦🏻‍♀️
Ooh... usually spotting is implantation maybe you could’ve been a late implant?! I’ve read online it could happen anywhere up to 12dpo so who knows!! I’m still holding out hope for you!! 🤞🏼
I was the same with #1 - 12 dpo with evening urine I did my first POAS and it was BFP clear as day ... however I have trust issues with FMU because the next day I did it again and it was barely visible so that panicked me then! So this time around doing strip test with FMU I just don’t trust it 🤣 so now I have no choice but to wait until Monday and I’m NOT going to try and find where he’s hidden the FRERs 😬😂 x

@Noble89 I'm feeling okay thank you! Tired and a bit nauseous here and there!
I had a random show of blood about midday on Saturday 9th and the Monday with FMU I got a faint positive test. I only had the blood once and nothing else 🤷‍♀️

I'm 14dpo today and here my test compared to the first test I did 4 days ago

@Attybae welcome lovely! The waiting is awful isn't it? I'm on cycle one after a molar pregnancy last year. It's taken 6 months to get signed off to be able to try again so although this is technically cycle 1 we actually started trying in May last year, got pregnant in August then found out about the molar/miscarriage at my 12 week scan in October and have had to wait till now to start trying again so I'm soooo over waiting and feeling super impatient. Fingers crossed this is your month! Are you an early tester or will you wait until AF is due?

@MrsDh2019 oh that must be messing with your head so badly! Definitely sounds like just waiting until you can get a definitive answer one way or the other is the best plan. I'm honestly baffled by my body. I'm 11DPO today and got a BFN on a FRER this morning. DP and I DTD yesterday and I've spotted ever since. AF isn't due till Monday but I feel like I'd be getting a BFP by now if I was pregnant as I got a BFP 11DPO with my last pregnancy and it was clear as day not a squinter.

@notyetamumbuttrying - mate I'm having the exact same thing..spotting since yesterday afternoon. TMI but it's brown like old blood and only when I wipe, not enough to mark.my underwear. That's never happened in my life so I thought MAYBE implantation but surely id be getting a BFP by now if that was the case? I'm getting the same mild cramping and pressure too but I just don't think I'm pregnant, my gut just says no 😔.

@EllieJai44 glad you found us lovely! How you feeling. So did your BFP come 48 hours after your spotting started or finished? I had brown spotting starting yesterday afternoon and its ongoing. It's not getting any heavier but it's been there every time I've wiped

@EllieJai44 eek thank you! I'm going to cling onto the hope still!! Glad you found us ;)

Ahh this is where you're all hiding! 😂😂

@notyetamumbuttrying I had pressure at beginning of the week, real low down, eased a bit now, I got my positive on 10dpo but two days before that I had some spotting 🤷‍♀️ ill keep everything crossed for you!

Morning all! So before bed last night when I wiped I had brown spotting...I was 12dpo yesterday and tested that morning and got bfn. Af is due Sunday, I never spot 3 days before it so now my brain is thinking that could have been a late implantation?? I have one more FRER to use so I'll save that and use it tomorrow morning because if I did implant yesterday 48 hours should be enough to detect hcg. I feel like I'm just clinging onto a thin string here but my cramps have been wild this month and started about 8 days before af due date. I've had the pressure lower down too. Any already mums felt similar before?

@SmileyT @Noble89 just catching up on the thread and I’m relating to everything you girls are saying. I did another cheap strip test at 10dpo yesterday and it’s still doing the weird faint line. I’m convinced I’ve just had 6 Evaps now but I think they’re still luring me into a false sense of hope 😖 I feel if I just had a certain BFN then id be slightly reprieved but I’m having so many weird symptoms ?! Im not one to symptom spot but I’m very in tune with my body and I usually only get AF cramps which feel almost like a hollow sensation in my tummy - I’m but I’ve had twinges and sharp lower back pains, also very sore boobs which I have never had any other time in my life deffo not a regular thing for me to have! So god knows!! For now I have genuinely forced DH to hide the FRERs from me because I told him I have no self control. AF is due Monday at latest from what I predict so I’m just forcing him to keep them and not to give them to me until Monday. It’s gonna be a looooong weekend 😳 (especially since DS has been screaming for chocolate since 6am) 🤣
Hope to hear from you all soon hope you’re doing well x

Welcome @Attybae I think you’ll find this thread really useful as I have! We can all tell you not to get too carried away with symptom spotting and testing to early but honestly I think it’s a natural response to something that just feels so far out of your control. I found that to be the hardest part of my first pregnancy! You just assume you can have a baby when you’re ready but life just doesn’t like us to be in control I don’t think 🤔 I wish you all the luck in the world and as today is still early days I hope you start to feel/see something over the course of the next few weeks and we will all be here for you to lean on. Baby dust ✨ x

Hello! I’m new here. I’m 29 and I turn 30 this year. My DH (darling husband) and I have been TTC (trying to conceive) for a year with no luck. 3/4 of that year was spent with him working offshore but he now is home for good. I have no bio children and no known fertility issues. It gets frustrating when I feel like I’m doing everything as far as opks to make sure we have sex before during and after ovulation. I got a strong positive ovulation test on May 8th so according to my app today is 6dpo. I’m really praying and hoping this is my month

@SmileyT it's just unusual for me to spot and when I woke up today I'm still getting a BFN @ 11dpo so pretty sure I'm out and maybe it's AF starting early 😭.

100% if I'm not pregnant I just want to get on with cycle 2

@Noble89 how about you?

@Noble89 if I’m honest I have no idea where I am!! The app I use along with the ovulation sticks says cycle day 30 which does check out. I had a LH peak on CD 21 and then another on CD27 which was the highest so far. My cycle last month was the first natural cycle since stopping the pill and it was 28 days in total🤦🏽‍♀️

@SmileyT had to happen. I'm running out of things to pass the time 😂. Like AF cramps but not as bad. It's just freaked me out as I've never had that before and obviously after the molar I have major cancer anxieties and immediately thought I had cervical cancer. I've realised that's now a tad dramatic after a single bout of spotting but it's just made me uneasy. Totally with you mate, were in this together now!

Omg snacks are fabulous. My OH calls me Snacky Chan as we have to have a full on snack draw and I am militant about keeping it stocked. Sometimes I can't go to sleep without a bedtime snack so I have to take something up with me every night😂.

@Dreaming101 100% the waiting is the worst part. I can deal with a BFN, it's not what I want but it's only cycle one. Really I can't wait for this cycle to be over one way or another. Where are you in your cycle?

@Noble89 I feel the same as you, once I know that it’s not going to be our month I’d rather AF just show up and be done with it.

@SmileyT my first MN friends!

@SmileyT thanks for clarifying. I think that’s the problem with reading lots online 😂
