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 congratulations love!!! So happy for you!! I noticed you said you're 11DPO & have had no symptoms. Is this your first month trying? If you don't mind me asking how has your CM been this last wk? I noticed a lot of ladies that get their BFP have felt very wet. I'm 8dpo & really dry & woke up with a headache this morning. I just think I'm out. You telling your OH later or gave you told him now? X

@runnerttc congratulations! I’m trying to hold off till the end of this week incase Af Does arrive.

runnerttc · 16/06/2020 13:08

I caved and went out and bought a FRER, my high temperatures were enough to give me hope and look what I just got!! I had absolutely zero on my IC this morning!! I'm literally sat here crying I'm so happy but so nervous. Oh god. I'm home alone on Furlough and feel out of my mind happy and nervous!!! Ladies using IC don't give up hope just yet! Xxx

Morning everyone! Hope you're all doing well!

@CaramelTart23 I did a IC strip test this morning but still BFN at 14DPO no AF in sight today though... I'm going to wait until AF arrives or a week today whichever one appear sooner and retest. I feel different this month in comparison with other months but who knows what's happening. Really hope it's my month.

Exhausted1989 · 16/06/2020 10:24

Hi, I hope you don’t mind me jumping on. I’ve been watching people’s stories and some of you have had a really tough time.

We are trying for our third, so I’m not overly stressed but becoming very obsessed witn cycles and stalking MN now too, checking every symptom. I came off the pill late April, had bleeding, then AF 16th May for 7 days. Around the 4th June I had the worst cramps and back pain, I convinced my self it was implantation pain, however to BFN later I’m no clearer. My app says I was due AF last week but I’m sure that’s wrong and it should be any time now. I’ve had period type cramps the last few day’s but so far nothing! I also stupidly looked back at a test I did and saw a line but I know that would more than likely be an evaporation line as I studied it close at the time and there was nothing. The whole time I have no AF though I’m baffled! We have had to rebook our holiday to June next year (should have been flying today 😭) so if it’s not this cycle I may have to wait a while 😪 don’t fancy a new born abroad 😂.

Sorry for the long post! I also don’t know when to test again!

Fingers crossed for you all!

Chlo2701 · 16/06/2020 09:36

@CrazyCat15 so sorry to hear of your story, literally heartbreaking!! I'm really hoping it's a BFP for you today🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻
@CaramelTart23 im 8DPO & woke up with a headache 🥴 I'll be testing on Father's Day Sunday 21st as that's when AF due. Not holding out much hope this cycle, just feel like AF is on her way x

CrazyCat15 · 16/06/2020 09:26

I've got myself convinced mine will be a BFP and I'm crazy for thinking like that! Hopefully Amazon won't deliver too late

Tonithetiger · 16/06/2020 09:19

@bluebubbles12
Another bfn for me too. On a frer with fmu. I think that's me out for this month.

runnerttc · 16/06/2020 09:00

Welcome @CrazyCat15, so sorry for your loses. Wishing you all the baby dust Flowers

@bluebubbles12 Another BFN for me too at 11DPO, I like you rarely have symptoms before AF, she usually just starts without warning.
Zero pregnancy symptoms for me either but heart rate and temp are both back up again.. no idea if high temps mean anything yet though??

bluebubbles12 · 16/06/2020 08:50

I'm so sorry to hear what you've been through @CrazyCat15 - I really hope this is your month!

I had another negative on an IC this morning at 10DPO. Feeling a little more disappointed than yesterday. AF due tomorrow though so at least I don't have long to wait to find out (I don't ever get PMS symptoms, just very mild cramping about an hour before I come on so I couldn't tell you what's going on!)

Anyone else testing today? Any re-testing updates??

CrazyCat15 · 16/06/2020 03:48

Hiya this is my first post here. I've been lurking since yesterday and following this post hoping to see some bfp!

AF is due today and I'm praying it doesn't arrive!! Unfortunately mine is a bit of a sad and tragic story.
I'm very lucky to have 3 children but in 2015 I fell pregnant and bled most of the way through, my son was born early due to placenta abruption and he passed away at a week old. As you can imagine we didn't cope well and my kids struggled big time!!
A year later Me and my DH decided if we had another baby it would give us all a light at the end of the tunnel and it would distract the kids from their grief. unfortunately I had a MC at 12 weeks so it was more added grief for the children.
I absolutely worship and adore the ground my kids walk on and all I've ever wanted is another baby and as I'm 38 I know it has to be sooner rather then later.
I literally can not look at a little baby without wanting to burst into tears, as for looking at a pregnant lady, forget it!!!

It's not often we DTD but this cycle we managed it and I checked the dates and it was bang on peek ovulation.
I've had the usual AF type pains but I know full well that it is PERFECTLY NORMAL to feel AF type pains in pregnancy, I've had 4 babies and with everyone it felt like I was going to come on at any moment.
AF and Early PG symptoms are unfortunately almost EXACTLY the same 😂
Since yesterday I've been feeling incredibly sick and it reminds me of when I was PG with my eldest, it's the same feeling!
My heart is telling me that I'm pregnant but my head is like nah girl not this time 😂
I've got tests being delivered later on today and I'm so sure the tests will be positive and I'm kicking myself for thinking that because I should convince myself I'm not PG so if it's a bfn I'd expect it.
I keep telling myself that if this isn't my month then luckily for me my DH has super sperm and just has to look at me to get me pregnant 😂😂😂😂
Anywhooo good luck to everyone and fingers crossed we all get a BFP

bananabread2000 · 16/06/2020 00:41

I'm annoying myself looking for symptoms that don't exist today! It's still early days so I wouldn't really expect much yet but it's hard not to feel disappointed already (even though I'm only 7/8dpo) .

GreysLove · 16/06/2020 00:12

@CaramelTart23 so excited for you really got everything crossed that your line gets darker!

AF due on 20th so I'll probably do the FRER I have on Wednesday and keep the CB digital for Sunday if AF doesn't show.

Symptoms: boob pain on and off, when I think it's gone it's comes back, across both and a mix of achy and more sharp pains, the odd itch too. Low energy but also super horny.

Ovia app always says the symptoms are typical of the cycle phase, but they're also preggo symptoms so annoying!

Positive vibes to all for your tests ❤️

Mistymonday · 15/06/2020 23:34

Current symptoms this cycle:
-hot blood feeling (breasts on fire)
-tender breasts
-Fatigue/dizziness on exertion

  • Thirsty & need to wee more than normal
-my mum burnt her toast, it smelt so gross to me. -acid reflux when I get hungry -getting hungry sooner than normal -wanting to eat more and really craving fruit (especially melon! Dreaming about it! )which I’m not normally all that mad keen on, vegetables, nuts/seeds and marmite. -A constant bloated feeling, irrespective of digestive status (a pms symptom but too early) -an awareness of where my uterus is due to a novel heavy, full feeling there. -cramping but not my normal ov cramping or period cramps as too early.

Meh, who knows. It could all be coincidence/psychosomatic but who knows! Trying to stay open to either possibility. Cut down on my caffeinated tea just in case though, which is hard! Grin

Testing date - my period is due on 24th and i am 7/8dpo.

Mich2020 · 15/06/2020 23:32

Heyyy. No signs of af yet. My body isn't aching all over like usual and I don't seem to have the acne I get every month either. I have ran out of tests, if no af by Friday I will get some delivered from amazon. My boobs are now sore and I have cramps on my left hand side (my bad side..endometriosis and tissue partially blocking that tube)
Hope I get to see more bfps from you ladies this week 🤞🏻🤞🏻 xx

MummaShu · 15/06/2020 23:07

Thanks for checking in @CaramelTart23 I'm ok not feeling positive with my past pregnancies I've had some very set symptoms and I've just... not... this months. Apart from the stabbing on one side cramps for the last few days. Pretty sure my body is doing that to spite me though!

Trying not to test until the 19th, pretending like I haven't already used five cheapies lol.

Itisme90 · 15/06/2020 23:05

Hi I hope yous don’t mind if I join ladies I am on
Cycle #2
CD 22
9DPO
TTC #2
AF due around 20th-21st
I have a few symptoms this month compared to last month been getting hot flushes and some cramping so just got my fingers crossed 🤞

Hopingtobelucky · 15/06/2020 22:41

AF is due Tuesday 23rd, I'm 8 DPO today.
Yesterday I had what felt like a stitch in the afternoon and a couple of hours later found some blood on wiping after having a wee. Finding it hard not to get my hopes up that it was implantation bleeding and stupidly did an IC yesterday and today even though I know it's too far too early.
Last night my boobs felt a bit sore and tonight for the last couple of hours they've felt really sore. Last night I didn't drop to sleep until 2am and was up at 6am, felt a bit sick between 9am-11am but the symptoms can so easily be explained away with other reasons.
This is our 11 cycle and this 2WW feels particularly long.
I've got FRER ready to test with 6 days before AF so going to try and hold out until at least then.
Wishing you all lots of luck x

2020mission · 15/06/2020 21:58

Hey @CaramelTart23 thanks for checking in with us all, very kind of you. I've had a BFN on a FRER this morning at 10 DPO and some spotting this afternoon so I'm sure AF is on the way (due Friday). I'd put me in for 15th July testing now as I'm sure I'm out for June. Always get spotting days before AF and I reckon I'd have had a faint line today if it had happened for me this month.

Best of luck to the rest of you - I hope some others get better news for June 🤞 💕

BronzeSilverGold13 · 15/06/2020 21:56

@CaramelTart23 it's scary how similar our symptoms have been.

I'm due AF tomorrow I think I'll do a cheap test first thing in the morning and if it's a BFN I'll wait for AF if she doesn't arrive I'll buy a better test and go from there... my floof is going to be so sore soon, any time I feel any wetness I'm straight to the loo to se if AF has arrived... also I seem to be busting for the loo but get there and only to produce a trickle.

I don't actually know what cramps feel like as daft as that sounds. I've never had cramps. So I'm not sure if I have them now as a symptom...My back ache has gone which is very odd If AF is on her way as usually have crippling back ache by now.

I'm exhausted today which isn't fun but I did manage to eat pasta for my tea.

I'm not convinced I am still in the game this month but only time will tell. I want it so badly but I can't get my hopes up.

Anastacia1 · 15/06/2020 21:20

Hi @CaramelTart23 I see a faint line I really hope it gets darker for you 🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼
Today I've been so tired and hot flushes not comfortable xx

Tonithetiger · 15/06/2020 21:04

@bluebubbles12 I'm exactly the same as you with dates. Tested today at 9dpo as well and bfn but to be expected.
@CaramelTart23I'm still getting unusual twinges in my tummy but I wouldn't call them cramps. Don't feel so sick tonight and less discharge today but I've been laying around most of it. I've got a feeling this month isn't mine but will probably test again weds morning if I have no more signs of AF. I usually cramp a couple days before.

Mayhammonkey · 15/06/2020 20:41

Hi @CaramelTart23

I’m doing good thank you! Nervous as every time I got to the toilet I keep inspecting the toilet roll to make sure af isn’t making an appearance. Did my 10000th test today and showing 2-3 weeks on the clear blue digital. I think AF was due today so about right I think. How are you doing @CaramelTart23? Are you testing again tomorrow? X

bluebubbles12 · 15/06/2020 20:34

@CaramelTart23 AF is due on Wednesday 17th, but that's only 11DPO for me. I tested with an IC this morning (9DPO) and it was negative, but I'm not too disheartened. I'll test again with ICs tomorrow and Wednesday and see what Wednesday brings me! If nothing (🤞) I'll use a FRER later in the week. I really hope I have some lines to show you all soon!
