Is anyone else around 6dpo?

Hey girls ☺️ I'm possibly 6/7DPO with AF due on the 13th. I'm itching to take a test as I'm not even 100% sure I ovulated this cycle, and if I did when it was...

I had two LH surges but no positive, although one very close to a positive, and my BBT doesn't seem to explain much, but I didn't start until mid cycle so that's probably not very helpful. I had some twinges in the lower middle of my tummy three days ago that lasted two days and nausea at the same time, and some lower back ache. I've attached my chart to see what I mean about LH surges and temp.

I think I'll hold out until the 11th to test as know I'll just feel rubbish if it's a BFN but then still holding on to a little hope thinking it might be too early. This is my first cycle TTC and second cycle off the pill, so I guess my cycle may be a bit off for a while and good chance I didn't ovulate this cycle, still doesn't stop me from hoping 🤞🏼

@kell2126 definitely looks like a line to me! But I would also use a different test over the next few days to confirm.
I'm 10DPO today but hanging on until AF due.
Excited to see everyone's tests come in!!
best of luck! Xx

Thanks @Nat4392. I don’t think it looks flooded though - they often look like that when drying. We’ll see - won’t believe anything till I see a line on a frer! It does make me laugh that if you post a squinter at 9 dpo, folk say it’s too early, but if you post a squinter at 12 dpo, everyone says ‘oh if you were pg it’d be much clearer than that’ like there’s this magic 2-day window only in which any result is valid . FX for us all!

@kel2126 the test looks flooded. Take a a FRER with FMU in a few day’s, 9DPO is still really early to test x

9 dpo today and just got this with smu. First pic when wet, second after it dried. I’m confused because had a bfn on frer with fmu. So is this the world’s nastiest evap??

@Emae26 I shit you not, I dreamt I was Lumiere from beauty and the beast. If that’s not vivid I don’t know what is!! 😂

@Emae26 FRER all the way definitely, they by far the most accurate. Then follow up with a digital to confirm in writing I’d say 👍🏻

@Emae26 personally I would use frer first as heard the digital ones aren’t as sensitive? ( I could be wrong thought) I’ve got some of the onestep cheap tests from amazon and then a couple of frer x

Welcome everyone! Good luck 🤞🏼🤞🏼

@Emae26 I’ve only actually had one month where I tested, other times AF/cramps have arrived so I haven’t needed to. That month AF was annoyingly 3 days late so I really got my hopes up. I started with a couple of cheapies, then when AF still didn’t arrive I tried an FRER in case they just weren’t sensitive enough. It was negative and AF arrived a couple of hours later. I think getting some cheapies would be good if you’re planning on testing early, as FRER are really expensive!

@emea26 I am curious of this too! It's my first month and I have no clue. I've bought cheapies from Amazon as per a recommendation on here:

15 x Ultra Early - 10mIU Wide... https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0026RQ75W?ref=ppxpoppmobappshare

But I'm yet to use them so can't give a personal recommendation xx

Mind if I join? I think I’m around 6dpo, TTC cycle 1. Had zero symptoms until yesterday when I had some brown bleeding and intermittent cramping, but not like AF cramps - sharper. In the evening, I started getting some boob pain at the sides. Probably just my body playing tricks on me but we’ll see!

So interesting to read about all the vivid dreams! I hope it’s a good sign for everyone ☺️

Hi Everyone

Currently 12 DPO, AF due Monday 8th. I am posting because of the dreams, been having these since 7 DPO and they are so strange and making me jump out of my sleep. The thing is I already have a LO and got a BFP 2 days before AF. What made me test was how sore my boobs were. I don't have that this time... Guess I will see what Monday brings x

Thanks for the welcome @beachbum85 and @ShellMc2237
@TTCgee I always felt really 'wet' in my previous pregnancies although I can't recall from when if you know what I mean. This will be tmi but I felt so wet I used to run to the toilet thinking I was bleeding or something, 🤞🏻 it's a good sign. 2 of my recent cycles have felt 'wet' though and it's been bfn but probably not as bad as pregnancy so there is a difference.
I'm cross at myself for testing early now lol I never did with my other pregnancies 🙈 but this ttc journey all my rules have went out the window 😂

Thank you @TTCgee! I haven't tried Brazil nuts yet... another potential add on hehe

@Bic501 sorry about your BFN, it is very upsetting but DPO10 is still a bit early, you're not out yet!

Good luck to all... 1 week to go, more or less! There seem to be some strong symptoms in this group... fingers crossed for some BFPs

@Emae26 it's frustrating as I seem to have different 'symptoms' every month! I remember one month getting white and very creamy Cm but negative but mostly I've just been pretty dry after ovulation and up to period? So I think this is the first time it's been really wet?

I hope it's a good sign! I'm actually going to try my best and not think about it until next Wednesday now... so gonna sign off here for a while until AF either arrives or I test! Xxx

@beachbum85 you don't sound crazy to me!

This month we tried SMEP and preeseed for the first time. I've also been eating Brazil nuts and I was on evening primrose oil before ovulation!

Like you say it helps to feel like you're doing everything you can to help! Let's hope we all get some luck this month ladies 🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼

@emae26 I'm 9 days post ovulation I think... AF due 10th June and I've had exactly what you describe! Thought I was coming on period but just very wet and watery discharge!!

Hoping it's a good sign! I've also had cramping for the last few days and a spike in temp today

Trying hard not to obsess or get my hopes up!! I'm TTC #1 ... off the pill since November but 3rd cycle really 'trying' xx

@Bic501 sorry about your BFN it's disheartening isn't it :(

Hoping we see some BFP's in the next week or so from this group, I've been having full achey cramps today so thinking AF is definitely on her way
