I didn't want to miss everyone's BFPs this week and our last bus is nearly full up so thought I'd jump over here.

@SmileyT mate we both know I'll be testing every day from now till AF because I've got no will power 😂. I had cramping yesterday and today but I don't usually get any cramping till the day before/day of AF which would be Monday for me. I'm just gonna keep hoping and I guess we'll just have to wait and see!

Why are you concerned there's something wrong? How long have you been trying? I know it's so horrible waiting and wondering but I read somewhere that even if you're perfectly fit and healthy with no fertility issues and have sex at the right time etc that you only have a 25% chance of conceiving each month so unless you've been trying for the best part of a year there's really no reason to think anything is wrong

notyetamumbuttrying · 14/05/2020 09:10

@SmileyT vag is a great one lol!
So 8 months at present, so heading into cycle 9 after AF is done. 9 months seem to be the marker for ppl I know so will try and hold off booking in until 10 months trying. I'm 34 so hoping they'll just get me started on the tests. Hubby's 37 but it's less about men's age isn't it. How long have you been trying?

Kodasmom · 14/05/2020 08:52

Thanks everyone, I’m feeling excited but still scared that it’s not really happening to me. I don’t think I’ll be happy until Monday passes and AF doesn’t come. The cramping and spotting is annoying me too.

@notyetamumbuttrying I’m 11dpo. AF is due Monday.

@SmileyT you do have to really concentrate when looking. I keep going back to look at it.

@Noble89 there is still hope so fingers crossed.

Congratulations @Kodasmom I'm shit at seeing the lines on my phone but can definitely see a blue line in that second picture 🙌🏾 how exciting, how are you feeling?

Test with me on Saturday @Noble89 🙏 I so wish I was one of those people that had signs of AF in advance, 12dpo and apart from a bit of pressure this morning (but realising I haven't 💩 in the last 36hrs so could be that 😂) I've got nada.

@notyetamumbuttrying my go to is normally vag 😂 - remind me how long you have been trying? I might get some tests done when everything is back to normal... even if it's only to put my mind at ease that I'm not attempting an impossible task.

@Julia529 sorry it was a BFN this morning... how did you track ovulation this month?

Julia529 · 14/05/2020 08:31

Morning Ladies!
I'm 13 DPO today and clearblues arrived in the post yesterday so thought I'd give it a shot. Got a BFN ☹️AF due tomorrow, hoping for a better result next cycle 💜

notyetamumbuttrying · 14/05/2020 08:19

@Kodasmom defo a faint line there! How many dpo are you again?
@SmileyT hooch works for inoffensive for sure! I tend to say fan lol. Yeah I'm ok actually, but it's just compounding my feelings that's somethings wrong with us, but we'll see. As soon as my gp's open again I'm booking us in for fertility tests.

Noble89 · 14/05/2020 08:16

@Kodasmom congratulations! That's 100% positive and I'm sure if you test again in a few days the line will be stronger 😊

@SmileyT I know it's still early so yes I'll test again in a couple of days. I've gone back through my Flo app and actually my BFP last time was 12 DPO not 11 so that's made me feel a bit better

Kodasmom · 14/05/2020 08:07

Can you see it any clearer in these?

Kodasmom · 14/05/2020 08:06

@SmileyT it’s very faint but yes a blue line. I’ve attached another photo that might show it better. Hopefully I’ll get a darker one as the week progresses.

@Noble89 and @notyetamumbuttrying sorry it wasn’t the result you Both wanted. Are you going to keep testing?

J0DI3 · 14/05/2020 07:58

@SmileyT yeah it’s disappointing but I’m trying to stay positive! I have an OPK arriving today so I will start using them for an accurate reading of when ovulation happens in the hope we have a better chance next month. Onto the June bus... 😂

@Kodasmom Does the line have colour in real life? And I agree if DH says there is a line it's a good sign, I always show my DP tests on MN and he is like 'nah they are kidding themselves it's negative' so I trust he'd be honest with you, will you test again in the morning?... 🙌🏾

@notyetamumbuttrying oh I'm sorry it wasn't the result we wanted this morning 😕 hope you are not feeling too disheartened by it. I definitely don't normally call it my hooch but was trying to find the most socially acceptable word to use 😂

@Noble89 you know it's too early to be certain, will you test again on Saturday?

@J0DI3 oh I'm sorry 😕 so frustrating that you've waited aswell and the witch doesn't show up and it's not a BFP

OP posts:
Noble89 · 14/05/2020 07:46

Morning ladies. 10DPO and BFN for me. Not even a hint of a line 😔. I know it's still early but I feel like of I was pregnant there would be at least the shadow of a line so feeling pretty deflated and think I'm out for the month. Hoping for some better news from the rest of you!

Kodasmom · 14/05/2020 07:45

Sorry guys I forgot to attach lol the photo isn’t showing it as clear as I can see it. Xx

J0DI3 · 14/05/2020 07:42

Morning ladies, AF due today although still no sign and 14dpo with a BFN! Now the dreaded wait for the witch to show her face. Good luck to everyone else testing xx

MrsDh2019 · 14/05/2020 07:40

@SmileyT thank you. I have one more strip test left to do tomorrow AM and then I have a box of 2 FRER which I will use when I’m actually due AF on Saturday/Sunday. So fingers crossed 😪 I’m hoping for even just a faint line on a FRER 🤞🏼

@kodasmom have you got a pic of the test? Usually if the DH agree to seeing something then it’s there! (My DH is just really blunt if he can’t see a faint line he will just say no that’s negative!🤦🏻‍♀️) I’m sure if you can see even a faint line then it’s your BFP. I’m hoping it is for you keep us all posted x

notyetamumbuttrying · 14/05/2020 07:39

@Kodasmom can't see a pic hun, can you resend?

notyetamumbuttrying · 14/05/2020 07:38

@SmileyT love that you call you it your hooch lol! I get that weird pressure there as well. Had it all day yesterday so tested today and BFN!! At least I can just wait for my period with ease on Sunday I guess. Feel like I've wasted a test though as it was a FRER, ah well!

Kodasmom · 14/05/2020 07:34

Morning all, ladies I just tested and I’ve seen the faintest of lines. I’m so nervous and scared of getting excited, because when I wiped after POAS there was brown spotting. Sorry tmi. I’ve cramps as well but I swear there is the faintest of lines. Even DH had a look and agreed. What do you all think? Xx

SmileyT · 14/05/2020 07:19

@Dreaming101 I keep changing my mind as my will power is slipping 😂 but either Saturday or Sunday, 14or15dpo if there is no clear sighs of AF but I do kinda feel a pressure towards my hooch this morning so don't know if that means AF will make the decision for me.

@MrsDh2019 sorry it was a BFN will you test again tomorrow or wait a few days now? Definitely not out yet... try and keep positive today and embrace the distraction of work x

OP posts:
MrsDh2019 · 14/05/2020 07:12

Morning everyone - 10dpo and did a cheap strip test this morning with fmu... still showing BFN but with a weird shadow on so still feel in limbo once again! At work all day today so atleast I can distract myself! I’m not holding out much hope for me getting a BFP now but Fingers crossed for you all today 🤞🏼 Xx

leaferty · 14/05/2020 04:45

Good luck everyone!

I'm 8dpo and really struggling to restrain myself from testing. I know it's too early! I got a bf with my first at 10dpo so want to hold off til Saturday but I'm struggling to be sensible and wait! My gut instinct is that this isn't our longhorn though :-(

KRK05 · 14/05/2020 00:16

Marking my place so I can hopefully see from BFPs from u all 💛

Dreaming101 · 14/05/2020 00:09

@SmileyTi think I’ll test this weekend. I should be 8/9 DPO going by the first peak. I’m not expecting a BFP but definitely hoping for one!
When are you due to test?

Wasn’t tagged but I am joining anyway, I know it’s so hard to remember who was in that huge thread so all good 😊.
I am currently 10DPO, probably going to test Saturday at 12DPO.
