AF 10th July - anyone else?

@leftitlate37 well I tested again this evening with clear blue instead of FRER and definitely has a line so looking good. It’s still light so I’m going to wait until Thursday now. BUT importantly @Sdoo4 I had my smear test done 1 week ago after I would have conceived so it’s definitely not a problem, so don’t let that worry you!

oo lots of messages to catch up on! Hello all!
exciting to hear some potential lines - fingers crossd these are all BFPs!
@Sdoo4 - same! went yesterday and had same spotting, and am like 5 or 6DPO and wondered exactly the same as u! was too afraid to ask as just wanted in and out as quick as poss (in more ways that one ha). But as others have said above, surely they would tell u or check situation first.
@LC53 - i'm same as u here, trying not to symptom spot but like hmmm boobs are usually sore by now - could it be?!
anyway hoping the week ticks by quick and I can keep busy and not symptom spot!
fingers crossed for morning testers - keep us in the loop! x

Thanks @KeishaV but I'm almost 41 now... really do feel like the ship has sailed for me.... still love the threads that end in some hopeful BFPs though

Thanks you @KeishaV I have also been trying since December. I think we all need to practice patience, even though I’m def the worst at it! Must be so disappointing to get pregnant and then not stick. Crossing all fingers and toes for you xx

@KeishaV thank you, I'm keeping my fingers crossed for all of us still. Good luck everyone xxx

@Suemay803 @Chel93 @Icouldstillbejoseph it's honestly still so early, especially if implantation happened later, last month I didn't get a faint positive until 12 DPO and it was realllly faint.

@LC53 everyone is welcome! That sounds really positive, even if it's faint it's still a BFP - congratulations!

I've been off the contraceptive pill since December as wasn't trying but wasn't preventing for a while and then for the last two cycles we have been trying OPKs and the SMEP which has made me feel much more in control of the whole process. I also think it helped us fall pregnant last month even though it didn't stick. We've also been taking the Pregnacare him and her tablets for the last two months as well which I think has helped but we won't know for sure until we actually get pregnant 😅

@Icouldstillbejoseph to be honest it’s the only reason I tested because I normally have the sorest boobs and just thought it was strange. It’s faint but definitely there so trying not to get too excited yet and will test tomorrow and see. Super interesting same happened to you though! Can totally relate! Keep squeezing my nipples wondering why they don’t hurt 😂

@LC53 that's how I was with my previous children so I think that's positive
I remember squeezing my boobs and staring at my BFP being very confused

I'm all test test test at the moment.
Felt exhausted for 2+ weeks and think I've had lots of symptoms. 🤷🏻‍♀️
Keeping my hopes up as AF due today, but is not totally reliable. Came off Depo in Nov 2019 and AF came back in March. Have been TTC for months and getting really despondent but fingers crossed there may be good news soon.

@KeishaV I tested i got a BFN I feel like crying ino I'm not out till AF comes but you know when you just have that feeling now that's it for the this month 😩
Any one else testing today?

Hi all, hope you don’t mind me joining, this 2ww is just painful isn’t it! I’m currently 10dpo and think I have a faint positive, but not getting my hopes up as literally have zero symptoms. Not even the usual PMS sore boobs. Good luck to everyone this cycle!

I'm due 10th too - been getting loads of BFN as usual....resolving not to do any more and then repeating them..... sigh......! Good luck to all the rest on this thread. I love a good line eyes so please give me some

@KeishaV I'm 10 dpo, I'm still hopeful, trying not to stress over it. We ve been trying for 3 months but this is the first month we've properly tried if that makes sense. I will use the ovulation strips next month

@KeishaV I'm 10 dpo, thank you, I'm still hopeful but trying not to stress, this is our 3rd month but our first proper month where we've really tried and tracked etc. I'm going to use the ovulation strips next month if this is unsuccessful

Morning everyone, how’re you feeling today? My boobs are definitely getting sorer hopefully it’s not just AF!

@Suemay803 how many DPO are you? BFNs suck and are so disheartening but some people don’t get their BFP until well after their missed period.

@Chel93 if you test today let us know how you get on! 🤞

@Sdoo4 I know I’m the same, longest two weeks ever! I don’t think a smear can otherwise I feel like they would check but I’m not 100% sure x

I got up this morning and had a sharp pain under my ribs but didn’t last long. Now my lower back is sore. This TWW is a nightmare just constantly questioning everything! I had to go for a smear test today so bled a little and getting slight cramps, can a smear effect implantation?

I'm 9 dpo and the same symptom spotting like crazy my boobs are soo sore and thinking of testing in the morning due AF on Saturday but don't know if that's too early still 😩 fingers crossed for us all 🤞🤞

I gave in and tested this morning with first response, bfn, I think I'll wait now to see if AF comes 😞 good luck ladies

I was convinced I was out. Spotted 5 days before af last month and just assumed that was what was happening this month though it’s stopped and had a few other symptoms but thought that was just because I had been googling everything haha.
I have an frer so I’ll check it tomorrow. Today’s is visible but so so faint. It came up straight away at same time as co tell line so don’t think it’s an evap. Who knows. I’ve never done this before 🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️

@LT103 how exciting, a positive is a positive no matter how faint! Praying it sticks for you ❤️ When will you test again?

Thank you, trying to stay level headed and calm but it’s so difficult when you want it so much 😂

I’m 10 dpo and have a v v faint line today on cheapie test (yest frer was negative). Been spotting last 2 days and af not due until Saturday so 🤞🤞🤞

This symptoms sound promising @KeishaV

Sorry just catching up, welcome to everyone who’s joined us!

I’m symptom spotting like crazy too 😩 sore and tender nipples, bleeding gums when I brush my teeth, increased CM yesterday (TMI sorry!) and I cried when my OH said he didn’t like the musical Hamilton 😂. Can’t stop thinking about testing either but after having a chemical last month I’m going to try my hardest to wait until at least Friday when I’m 14 DPO. I have so many tests in the drawer though that the temptation might get too much 🙈

For those that tested early I didn’t get my extremely faint positive last month until 11dpo and it gradually got darker until 15 DPO (it got lighter after that). I read that some people don’t get their BFP until 15 DPO + especially if they implanted later.

Keeping everything crossed for us 🤞we’re not out until AF shows ❤️

Seeing**

@OliR93 ahh we are so similar! Do you mind if I ask how old you are ? (I’m 28 if not obvious from the name haha) I've been doing the same too ...clue app and wasting all my money on CB digitals
Ahh I hate saying BFNs and still keep POASing. I think I’ll next test end of the week? (She says) I’ve had no “symptoms” so far so I’m not feeling hopeful ....though my rational side does tell me it’s too early for symptoms or hcg to rise! When do you think you’ll test next ? Yes fingers crossed!! 🤞🏾

@Suemay803 opk are ovulation test strips which show your LH surge which happens just before ovulation.
Bbt is basal body temp which goes up after ovulation (I think I’m response to progesterone) then falls again just before period....or stays high if pregnant.
