Hello and welcome!

I kinda wanted to make my own thread as I've been itching to POAS at only 7dpo 😒 I know I know... ridiculous right?

So need you lovely ladies to join in and keep each other distracted, share your experience, have a giggle/cry together and most importantly have each others support during BFNs and BFPs.

Please feel free to jot down your cycle/dpo info and when your AF is due so we can all keep a track of where we are!

This is also a thread where you are free to post any thoughts, poems, pictures, recipes, dreams and aspirations, the good the bad and the ugly 😝

As always stay safe and baby dust to you all!

@runnerttc thanks, to be honest this is all pretty new to me, only came off the pill end of march and only started using OPKs cycle just gone so we will just try again. I think we ran out of steam before I ovulated cause I expected to ov about day 15 according to my app so we dtd every other day the week before that, but I didn't actually get a positive opk till day 18 so ovulated day 19 and what with work and life and stuff we only dtd once 2 days before I ovulated. FX for third time lucky!
Thanks everyone else for somewhere to chat and stuff the last few weeks :)

Hiya @CaramelTart23 yeah I'm getting all the same symptoms, tired, off food, like a river in my nether regions where CM is concerned. My nips looks a darker pink but only slightly more sensitive, I'm either super hot or I'm just normal. Hopefully HCG will double soon. If AF hasn't arrived in a week or so I'll buy a frer and a clear blue digital. Just to be on the safe side haha.

Good luck for tomorrow. Don't be nervous we're all here for you!

Ps finished the bunny and gave it to my friend she was chuffed with it!

bluebubbles12 · 18/06/2020 20:39

@runnerttc I'd already decided before I got my positive that I would go for an 8 week scan! Fortunately I'm on annual leave during my eighth week so I'll book in for then. I phoned the gp/midwife today to register, but she said it was too soon and to call back next week. What date does that make your scan? I'm going to try and resist a six week scan unless any symptoms worry me.

Good luck @CaramelTart23 for tomorrow!

CaramelTart23 · 18/06/2020 20:29

@BronzeSilverGold13 Hey Hun I'm feeling blegh still no sign of AF 😩 not a cramp in sight.... just that same heaviness. Bbs weigh a ton right now, my veins are more visible 😖

Hcg should double up in the next few days if you can't wait a week haha 😆

Are you still getting hot flushes? CM?

Let me know how you get on

I literally made it to Superdrug's with minutes to spare 😩

Thought I'd try ClearBlue this time round, will be testing in the morning.. I don't know why I feel nervous 😥

Don't worry at all @CaramelTart23.. I'll take that as a good sign ☺ ☺

I actually do remember someone congratulating me before too now you mention it, but they must have got their names mixed up at the time.

BronzeSilverGold13 · 18/06/2020 19:14

@runnerttc the OPK wasn't FMU after I did the test yesterday afternoon (couldn't help myself) it came back like that! I did another test this morning with FMU and the line IMO was darker but nowhere near noticeable like these and DP and my friend is on the fence about the line! In interest I did another opk This evening and it's still there! Today's wasn't as dark but deffo there (in fairness i hasn't long since been to the loo)

I'll give it a few days-to a week and see if af has arrived and take it from there!

runnerttc · 18/06/2020 18:58

Hey @BronzeSilverGold13 does all sound very confusing! Was that OPK with FMU? Like you said maybe wait a day or too and test again with FRER? If you're still getting faints but too faint for a photo maybe give your GP a call so they can do a blood test? I'm sorry you've had such a confusing couple of days!
Hows everyone else getting on? Has anyone looked into early scans? I'm such a worrier so paid for a private scan at 6+4! It can't come soon enough!

NatJayne87 · 18/06/2020 18:39

@CaramelTart23 thanks for checking in, i think im 4 dpo at the moment and thinking i might test on 12dpo which will be Friday 26th but if i chicken out im due Sun 28th and if that doesnt arrive then i might test. I hate the idea of symptom spotting but it comes with the territory unfortunately, i was doing it today already at only 4dpo haha im dure as i get closer of i notice any symptoms i will be testing earlier lol

BronzeSilverGold13 · 18/06/2020 17:25

@runnerttc it was clear blue but I read that being overweight can make tests give false readings and I'm not exactly a healthy size! Yeah I was asking about OPKs I did one yesterday after I did my test and thought I saw a line and it was 2 positive lines in the OPK! But I'm far from ovulation dates!

The thing that's not sitting right with me is I'm usually clockwork with AF I've never ever been late since I was 11 and I swear I saw a faint line yesterday and a slightly darker one today but not by much!

I don't really know what to do! If I hadn't seen the line I'd have sworn it was a BFN but I'm sure I can and I did the OPK (shown below)

Maybe I'm obsessing too much I just think it's all very strange! Thank you for taking the time to message me btw that's very lovely!

@Maybe333 oooops my bad I'm sorry 😖 I've tried my best to ensure I've read through all the comments from when the thread was made. I'm so certain I have seen your name tagged with congrats 😩

Haha maybe it's a sign? 😆 Anyhoo I do hope you get your bfp soon! 🙏🙏 fingers crossed for you hun x

runnerttc · 18/06/2020 17:01

@BronzeSilverGold13 what brand test did you use? Was it you that was asking about OPK tests? I was curious after that message and did an OPK, its bold as day and probably stronger than my peak OPK lol. My FRER and clearblue are both strong lines but my IC is still barely visible, just thought in case you're just using IC? Xx

Elou26 · 18/06/2020 16:29

Hi ladies I'm 7 dpo hope I can join in I had bad cramps last night and they woke me up this morning but none since. I'm seriously bloated ! I had a chemical pregnancy last month and ovulated really late this month CD25! Going to test on Sunday at 10dpo and hope my LP stays the same even though I ovd late 🙈. Feels like such a long cycle! Scared with the cramps and bloating AF will turn up!

BronzeSilverGold13 · 18/06/2020 16:20

@CaramelTart23
Hello lovely! I took another this morning and i still think it's got a line, the picture can't pick it up but my friend isn't sure after seeing it in person!

I don't know what to do. I'm tempted to wait another week and try with a FRER if AF hasn't arrived!

Any advice? How are you feeling?

Boc86 · 18/06/2020 15:42

Testing properly June 20th 10dpo

Maybe333 · 18/06/2020 15:39

Oops.. Must have crossed comments with someone else as I'm still 8dpo...no bfp for me yet! Would love to soon though ☺ perhaps that's an omen... 😂

2020mission · 18/06/2020 15:17

@CaramelTart23 I'm out, AF arrived today. Just relieved to know now and can focus on cycle 5 in a weeks time. Crossing my fingers for you to get a big confirmation of your recent positive tests soon 🤞 I've got a good feeling about it especially since your cervix is closed.

Best of luck all 👋🏻

runnerttc · 18/06/2020 14:37

@CaramelTart23 That is too cute!! Thank you so much 😍
Sounds like you've got positive symptoms still, what's your temp chart looking like, you say its still high? That's a good sign!

RoEP2018 · 18/06/2020 14:30

Hi All. Hope you don't mind me joining in the wait? I have a 2 year old DD and TTC #2. First attempt this month. AF due 30th June/1st July ish. Cycles are between 26 and 32 days so who knows 😁
Having a go at temping, done OPK's and watching CM. Pretty sure I'm 3/4 PO
Good luck everyone and congratulations to all those BFP's! Love seeing those posts 💕

Mayhammonkey · 18/06/2020 14:22

@CaramelTart23 that is so lovely! Thank you! I really hope when you test tomorrow it’s a BFP! Xx

hannah88j · 18/06/2020 14:15

@CaramelTart23 that's amazing and so lovely of you! Thank you! Keeping everything crossed for everyone else that July is a super sticky month for you all! Baby dust to everyone ❤️

CaramelTart23 · 18/06/2020 14:15

@Mich2020 @BronzeSilverGold13 @GreysLove @2020mission any update ladies? How are you all feeling today? Xx

I've decided to wait until tomorrow morning to test as I've ran out of frers 😩

Still feeling the same, nips feel like it's been grated with a sandpaper 😭 stinging like hell!!

Body temp hasn't gone down either.. and cervix is closed up like a barrier which is odd as by now it would be fully open for AFs arrival 😩🙏

SITL1992 · 18/06/2020 14:14
