Is anyone else around 6dpo?

Hey, I'm around 6dpo but I have an average of 31 day long cycle so still got about 9 days until AF is due. I've had some twinges yesterday but today I had some cramps that were like mild period pains and a dot of blood in pants (sorry a bit tmi), so hopefully this is implantation 🤞
Just wondering if anyone else is in a similar time in their cycle that wants to obsess with me for the rest of their cycle? 😂🙈

CopperSelkie · 08/06/2020 11:48

@beachbum85 thank you and fingers crossed for you too! That definitely looks like a line, yay!
I'm keeping hope Smile

Em1194 · 08/06/2020 11:25

@sshl definitely looks positive! Keep us updated with the frer 😄🤞🏼 so exciting! xxx

beachbum85 · 08/06/2020 10:56

Definitely darker!! Excellent news - congratulations!! (star)
Looking forward to seeing the FRER too

sshl · 08/06/2020 10:50

@beachbum85

Yes I did again this morning and it's darker. I have ordered 2 x FRER to use to be sure but I'm fairly sure it's a positive Smile

Will update once I have done the FRER

Is anyone else around 6dpo?

Sorry to hear about your BFNs @CopperSelkie, @bigfootfred, @ShellMc2237 Sad even though it's unlikely, you're not out till AF arrives... still keeping my fingers crossed for you

@sshl have you tested again? any progression? looked like a promising start Smile

@Emae26 I did have another vivid dream tonight, and a few strong twinges yd, but no new symptoms... not even sore/full boobs.Who knows?! I'll keep hoping till I see AF, or test if I'm late... 4 days to go!

ShellMc2237 · 08/06/2020 10:10

I was a BFN yesterday, so out for this month I think

@AlisonLew15 its weird isn't it, I felt like I knew, it was this gut feeling but I'm going between that and not feeling confident at all.
@bigfootfred sorry to hear that but you're not out until AF! 🤞

I had a vivid dream again last night. Did anyone else? Yesterday I had cramps that were like period pains but maybe more stretchy. My boobs also felt really full yesterday evening but they don't feel like it this morning... very weird!

@clolo I'm 11DPO and no symptoms today either. Did have sore nips a few days ago but they've worn off now. When is your AF due? U holding off testing? I'm due end of next week so going to hang on I think.

@Emae26 I feel the same, was full of positivity beginning of the cycle and it's slowly worn off!

@kell2126 hoping AF stays away and you get another + test in a few day!

Em1194 · 07/06/2020 13:14

@kell2126 thank you so much! Keeping my fingers crossed for more bfps on here 🤞🏼✨ xxx

kell2126 · 07/06/2020 12:53

@Em1194 that's so lovely Smile – really happy for you! H&H – please keep us posted on how you're getting on xxxxx

Em1194 · 07/06/2020 12:39

Thank you for your lovely comments! Means a lot x

@kell2126 He was over the moon, he questioned multiple times if this was actually happening, I was like yep definitely looks like a positive to me! Now to try and relax 😬

CopperSelkie · 07/06/2020 12:25

@MrsB25 Thank you so much, I've just been saying much this to DH with lightbulb moment of "Oh maybe it wasn't on the exact day of Ovu that it's happened if I am!" and it was so reassuring to then have this backup pop up! I'm still going to try and not test again till next weekend now if AF still hasn't appeared, fingers crossed! Yes as said by @Emae26 (and fingers crossed for you too!) it's so awesome to see this support and all the advice here, it's way too easy without real folk like you lovely lot to get lost in the mires of T'Internet "Symptoms PMT or Pregnant?!" pages and start falling down the daily pee stick bunnyhole (guilty!) Especially when you're not a wee young thing in years anymore, just at heart!

kell2126 · 07/06/2020 12:05

Huge congrats @Em1994! What a lovely line!! How did DP react?!

@sshl I can see the line on yours too – FX!

@AlisonLew15 this cycle is a natural one. Would be great to get pg and not have to do another ivf round. How are you feeling today?

@MintGreenLife tested with a FRER and an IC this morning – BFN on FRER and BFP on IC. I'm thinking I must've got a really dodgy batch of ICs because there's no way you'd get such a clear line in those and nothing on a FRER (sigh). Still, not out till AF shows... (same for you @clolo – too early to lose hope! x)

@MrsB25 it really is... I'm finding it so hard to think of anything else. AF is due Friday so I've still got 5 days to wait until then and I'm probably not going to test until the monday after AF because I don't really want to order test unless AF doesn't arrive friday because I know I'll be tempted to test early. I really is good to be able to talk about everything. I'm so grateful of this thread 😊

MrsB25 · 07/06/2020 11:38

So sorry @CopperSelkie to hear about your loss last year. I definitely think try testing again in a couple of days- you aren’t out until AF shows. Maybe you implanted late so don’t have enough HCG yet? I can totally relate to expecting to see a positive and being so upset, my AF was 3 days late a couple of months ago so I really convinced myself it would be positive, was heartbroken when it wasn’t xx

MrsB25 · 07/06/2020 11:35

Congratulations @Em1194! And hopefully you too @sshl and @kell2126 🤞🏼🤞🏼

@Emae26 I go through the exact same thing every cycle, feel positive and sure it will happen, then negative and resigned to it not happening. It is such a difficult process and hard to switch your mind off from it! It’s always good to have people to chat to about it 😊

Welcome to all the new thread joiners, I hope it continues to be a lucky one for us all!

sshl · 07/06/2020 11:03

@Emae26 thank you 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻

@Em1194 congratulations! So happy for you!
@sshl I think I can see a second line! 😊🤞

I didn't have any vivid dreams last night, I feel like I did dream but I can't remember them so they can't have been vivid. I felt so confident at the beginning of this cycle, I just knew that I was going to get pregnant, but as time goes on I'm feeling a bit disheartened... It feels less like I know and more like I'm hoping (or kidding myself). I don't know why I feel like this, maybe it's some sort of hormonal fluctuation but hey ho... let's hope early cycle me was right and current me is just a bit off!

bigfootfred · 07/06/2020 07:56

I'm going to test tomorrow AF due Thursday but I have a gyne appointment so want to test before that.
Feel PMT'y so not sure if will be success only DTD once in fertile period

CopperSelkie · 07/06/2020 07:27

Hi, first time posting, sorry if I do it wrong!
Ttc, early on loss last August, 43, completely regular periods, not too heavy or light, last around 4-5 days.
So, tracking with My Calendar app - ovulation day was 20th May, deed was done well&good each day for the four day surround of high fertility days (before and after those too!) AF was due to start on Wed 3rd June and still hasn't shown up - but BFN tests? Been good and restrained and only done 2, a wee cheapy strip on 1st day and a FRER this morn - should I keep hope and test next week again if still no sign of AF? I want this so badly, I'm trying not to get upset but I just really thought I'd see a BFP this morning and I'm gutted Sad
