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!

I actually love this thread huge congratulations to everyone with their BFPs. I am due AF on Saturday/Sunday I have had some cramping for the last few days also really tired and feeling quite nauseous I am trying so hard not to test till the weekend but it’s definitely easier said than done 🤞

Mistymonday · 17/06/2020 10:00

Huge congrats to those with bfps today! Lovely news!

I cracked and tested early at 9/10 dpo - bfn for me! Hoping I am still in the game as symptoms still here, but could be a very erratic pms cycle this month. Period due on 24th...

GreysLove · 17/06/2020 09:59

Another one! Congrats @bluebubbles12 how exciting!

I have tried to post a few times from the app this morning too but doesn't seem to work so on the laptop now.

I did a test at 6am this morning (not FMU though as was up at 4am totally bursting, so i'm annoyed i might have wasted the test), anyway can anyone see a faint line??

I'm approx 12 dpo so I thought the line would have been more obvious. (not sure as i ran out of OPK's and had a weird cycle last month), had a bit of cramping, lower back pain and a pulling feeling behind my belly button. Could that have been late implantation pains, or normal implantation if i ovulated later than I thought? I've got myself all worked up and swaying between this may be an early sign or a CP, or am I totally seeing things?! I feel like a crazy woman, I'm exhausted with allowing my brain to come up with and tear down a million scenarios.

AF not due until Sat so I'm going to try really hard and not test until Sat or Sun. (I'm kidding myself since I've just ordered another pack of FRER's from Amazon to arrive tonight so I I test tomorrow it will be with the same brand - have some CB earlier but I know blue dyes can be bad harder to see).

OMG someone stop me/ shut me up lol!

Darcy86 · 17/06/2020 09:06

Thanks so much everyone! And huge congrats to @runnerttc and @bluebubbles12 as well! I totally get the nerves, I've immediately ordered a Clearblue digital just to confirm it and see it in writing...

For those who asked, I'm 16/17dpo so I did wait until AF was a day or 2 late. In terms of symptoms, last week I honestly felt like it was more PMS than anything - on and off dull cramping/pulling, quite mild but felt v similar to AF. Then over the past 2 or 3 days I've been coming over very tired indeed in the afternoons. And last night I gagged halfway through my dinner and was on the verge of throwing up, but took a few deep breaths and sips of water and I was fine! Have also been a bit bloated. My boobs aren't overly sore though, they just feel ever so slightly tender, I'd say.

Can't believe it...just hope it sticks! Sending lots of BFP vibes to you all!

SpringDream · 17/06/2020 08:55

Congratulations @Darcy86, @runnerttc and @bluebubbles12 !!

Chlo2701 · 17/06/2020 08:50

@Darcy86 congratulations!!!!!!
@runnerttc bet you're so relieved to see that 2nd line on the CB test! Is it finally sinking in now?
I'm 9DPO today & feel blah. Woke up with a headache yesterday had it all bloody day & woke up this morning & head still feels fuzzy😣 I'm not holding out much hope for myself this month though as had my usual pre AF spot come up on my face last night🤦‍♀️

bluebubbles12 · 17/06/2020 08:47

@Darcy86 congratulations!! Lovely strong line too!!

Apologies if this posts twice, I've just tried to post from the app but it hasn't appeared?!

Anyway, I have a BFP to add to the thread too!!! 😃 It looks better in person, but I can't quite believe it! I now suddenly feel very sick!!

AF due today, 11DPO, no symptoms apart from being a bit more hungry than usual!

runnerttc · 17/06/2020 07:55

Congratulations @Darcy86!! 🥳 How many DPO are you?
Any one else testing/tested today?
I'm still so nervous after getting my BFP yesterday, part of me was worried it wouldn't show up today! Did a Clear blue and its still there! Lol. Think I'm going to test every day for a few days so check its getting stronger. Currently 12DPO so AF not due until Friday, maybe that's when I'll believe this is really happening!
I love this thread ❤
How's everyone feeling today?

Congrats again so excited for you!

Mayhammonkey · 17/06/2020 07:36

Congratulations to all who’s got BFP 🥳 fingers crossed for those waiting to rest and to all with BFN, I really Hope next month is your month.

Darcy86 · 17/06/2020 07:34

Morning everyone, just wanted to update as I tested this morning and...omg! Never thought I'd see those 2 lines! Feeling so happy but a bit speechless!

Tonithetiger · 16/06/2020 17:52

Ooooh exciting. I've ordered some ICs which should be here tomorrow cause I've gone through a 2 pack of FRER just being stupid 🤦‍♀️. They say they're the 10mlu ones though which I think are really sensitive? I'm going back to work tomorrow so guessing AF will turn up then just to ruin my life haha. Still got a weird full feeling in my lower abdo though and just had a disgusting hot flush.

bluebubbles12 · 16/06/2020 17:46

So I've just done another cheapy test (I know, I know, it's not FMU and I took one this morning...) but I think I see a second line on it! It's so ridiculously faint that I can't get it on a photo (I've tried under so many light conditions 🤦🏼‍♀️) I looked at it after my shower though, so it's after maybe 10 mins, but it does look a pinkish colour. It's the first time I've seen something on these tests so it's got me a little bit excited!!

Trying not to build my hopes up too much though, but roll on the morning to test again 😬🤞

runnerttc · 16/06/2020 17:35

Thank you @BronzeSilverGold13! For once I'm glad I caved! Planning on doing another test in the morning to be really sure but feeling so excited!
@GreysLove good luck to you too, wishing you all so much baby dust!! Grin

GreysLove · 16/06/2020 17:31

@runnerttc Congratulations!

That's soo exciting!

I'm still exhausted and sway between being starving hungry and not wanting to eat at all.

Holding off to do my FRER tomorrow, will be 12dpo. Hoping this is a lucky thread for me too!

Good luck to everyone testing in the next few days x

BronzeSilverGold13 · 16/06/2020 14:47

@runnerttc I'm so glad you've done that FRER test. I did a IC from poundland this morning and got a BFN but I still haven't started AF yet and she's usually very punctual! I might have to give it a few days and test agin if she's not turned up!

BronzeSilverGold13 · 16/06/2020 14:44

@CaramelTart23 Good afternoon, sorry to hear you're feeling drained! But being in babysitting duty might help your energy levels depending on the age! It sucks when you have no energy, I was feeling it last night. I was in bed by 9:30pm

I don't really have much advice regarding testing times! I always figured people could test at any time of the day and get a positive, I never knew it had to have a high HCG! I think if the HCG there a good detecting test will show it even if it's faint! But I did read online that not drinking much and not having a wee for 4 hrs is a good rule for testing in the day time as it mimics the FMU.

I still don't feel out of the game this month even though the BFN this morning technically says I am.
If AF was going to appear today I'm sure I'd have had back ache again but the pain I felt last week had almost gone completely. I'm going to wait to see if AF arrives tomorrow and yeah first thing on Thursday morning.

I'm pretty much the same, I'm exhausted today. I've been to the loo
More times this morning than ever before. And I keep feeling a watery CM which keeps making me think AF has arrived as it's the same consistency as blood. My right nipple is very sensitive today too. I'm still getting dizzy spells and I feel very bloated today but again it's more like I've been holding in my wee too long and I can't suck my stomach in for fear of bursting 😆

I just wish I could get some indication either way! Especially as I don't trust my ICs as they're dip ones and I don't feel I've done them right 😆

Hope your afternoon is a good one! It's incredibly sunny today for the northeast of England but I've just finished work so all I want to do is take a nap!

Exhausted1989 · 16/06/2020 14:28

@CaramelTart23 when will you test again? I’m so anxious. Yesterday my stomach was gurgling non stop, so loud you could hear it over the television and then today nothing! So could be the start of AF but I’m still hopeful! I’m trying to wait to test again but I’m Not sure I can hold out!

Tonithetiger · 16/06/2020 14:18

@runnerttc congratulations!
I have to say it is really reassuring to see people with all different experiences and symptoms/lack of getting their bfps. Makes it seem more doable for novices like me!
AF is due tomorrow and I think she will arrive but I have a weird full/tender feeling under my belly button at the moment. Like my jeans are too tight but I'm wearing the softest leggings I have 🤔. Also still loooooads of cm. I think I just don't know my body well enough from coming off the pill. Not too disheartening and will try again next month.

CaramelTart23 · 16/06/2020 13:58

Thank you ladies for responding back with dates ☺️

It's nice to see all the different symptoms everyone has been feeling this cycle... which makes it that much harder when you are trying to look for similar symptoms and going absolutely stark crazy searching online 😩😩

But remember ladies, we are all different! Each cycle and each conception is DIFFERENT.

We can only do what's best for our body and mental health... and that is to support one another. I applaud all you wonderful ladies as it's given me such warmth to see the kindness, laughter and hope in this thread.

We all have our stories to share. One of tragedy, loss, miracle and blessings ect. But we are here in the present ☺️ and it's a huge opportunity to see another cycle xx

bluebubbles12 · 16/06/2020 13:53

@CaramelTart23 with getting a faint line yesterday and that wasn't FMU, you could still see how the line has progressed if you test today?

It depends if you want to use up a test or whether the disappointment if there isn't a proper line is worth it though...

bluebubbles12 · 16/06/2020 13:50

Oh wow @runnerttc I'm so happy for you! Congratulations!

Out of interest, what's the sensitivity of your ICs? The ones I've got are 10mIU/ml, which is supposed to be the same as FRER.

It's given me hope though that no symptoms is perfectly acceptable to still get a BFP!

CaramelTart23 · 16/06/2020 13:41

@BronzeSilverGold13 Hellooo my lovely, ughgh super draining morning. I'm on babysitting duty today... it's keeping me distracted from overthinking 😩😭

I'll be out to collect a few PTs hopefully should test soon (I know it's not ideal given the time) but I've not had much to drink and desperately holding my wee.

Any advice? Do you think it's pointless to test now or should I wait till tomorrow morning?

I have a bunch of strip ICs but realised most of them are defective with indents and so will not be relying on those. I prefer fr.. I know they aren't cheap but it's the most sensitive PT in drugstore for early results! Definitely recommend them.

How are you feeling this afternoon?

I'm pretty much the same.. have noticed watery CM yesterday night and even more heavy feeling in the centre of my uterus. Quite frankly it's making me a bit queezy 🤢

runnerttc · 16/06/2020 13:32

Yeah 11DPO and nothing other than my high temps and higher than usual resting heart rate. We've actually been trying for 18 months so its hern a long journey for us! I had amenorrhea (loss of periods) in the summer due to a combination of exercise and weight loss. Periods finally started to settle and we then unfortunately had a CP in January, probably why I'm so nervous! @Chlo2701 I've not been overly 'wet' mainly creamy until today which is a bit thinner.
Thank you @CaramelTart23 I love how lucky this thread is!
Oh and no not told OH yet, going to wait until he gets home!
