I hope everyone doesn't mind but set up a new one as we have reached the limit!

The waiting and being on edge is the worst!! I've decided not to tell OH about anything until I've got a solid line to show him otherwise he'll freak out with the not knowing!
I don't know, I think most people seems to say you should still try to test at 12DPO? I've no clue though sorry! I'm ttc my first and haven't had anything like this to compare to! Maybe one of the others on here who've experienced this before can shed some light. Have you had any other "symptoms"? What cycle ttc are you?

@mm26 eek! I've been so chilled this month (hence why I haven't been writing on here!) but now I'm going to be on edge until I can do test! My husband actually rang me at the same time whilst I was having a wee lol and I blurted it out to him so he is going to be on edge too now! When do you think I can test?

mm26 · 18/07/2020 13:23

@PabsyPops I'm no expert but from my intensive googling I think that's a good sign and sounds like implantation! Fingers crossed for you that your get a bfp! 😀

PabsyPops · 18/07/2020 13:21

Guys... I need advice and I am freaking the f**k out. I have just been to the toilet and wiped some darkish brown blood (sorry TMI). AF isn't due for around another 5 days. I don't really know when I ovulated this month but I suspect it was around 7/8 days ago. Could this be implantation?? Help!!

Buns05 · 18/07/2020 12:23

I'm not really symptom spotting this month at all! Although the other night I got a really strange stitch like feeling down near my hip/below my tummy button that only lasted a few minutes.... no idea what that was all about 🤷‍♀️

mm26 · 18/07/2020 10:13

How is everyone today? Anyone else symptom spotting? My app is telling me to test tomorrow and I've got a FRER coming in the post today so I'll do that tomorrow morning. Did a cheapie today and a line was visible for a split second as the dye ran across but then disappeared. The. After 2 mins I could swear I could see the shadow of something but I think it's just my eyes playing tricks!

I've had tiny cramps every day for the last week or so. Just small cramps maybe twice a day at the most, and only around for about 10-30 seconds at a time. Not building and coming in huge painful waves like they have in the past.
I've also had uncomfortable boobs the past few days- not sore, just I've had to wear a soft bra to bed as I feel like they are heavy and getting in the way when I'm trying to sleep.
I had a cold sore and sinus pain on the day I got the cold sore - not sure if related or not?!

How's everyone else been feeling? Anyone testing over the next few days?

@krj2608 @boc86 @mm26 thanks all, disappointed but onwards and upwards to cycle 3! Will keep stalking this thread of course and will hopefully see some more BFPs soon x

mm26 · 17/07/2020 22:50

Sorry to hear that @whambam89 💕

Boc86 · 17/07/2020 15:34

Oh no @whambam89 that’s a shame x

krj2608 · 17/07/2020 15:13

I'm So sorry @whambam89
August is a good month x

whambam89 · 17/07/2020 12:53

AF has just shown up so over to the August thread I go! Can't say I'm not disappointed but despite all the symptoms I think I just knew it wasn't my month. Will keep an eye on this thread and hopefully see a few more BFPs! Going to keep going with my clearblue advanced ovulation kit but try and stay away from the apps and logging symptoms etc this month x

Boc86 · 17/07/2020 08:57

Im going to buy some FRER today they’re 6mui and my fermometer ones are 25mui!

whambam89 · 17/07/2020 08:29

@kirinm @krj2608 might see if I can get a more sensitive test today and test again tomorrow, definitely feeling as though it's not my month now though!

krj2608 · 17/07/2020 08:18

@whambam89 I use these ones x

@whambam89

Tested this morning BFN... I guess 11dpo is still early but I'm almost 100% I'm out now, think I'm just going to have to accept that all my pre AF symptoms are the same as pregnancy symptoms and it's likely I'll get new "symptoms" each month. I used a CB rapid detection test, not sure what the sensitivity is like on them - out of tests now though so I'll just wait for AF to show up!
I have one of those tests in the cupboard they are 25ml sensitivity so don't think you would get a positive on those that early. I used an internet cheapy which is 10ml x

Thank you @Boc86!

@whambam89 I think 11dpo could be a bit too early for the CB tests. Fingers crossed AF stays away.

Congratulations @krj2608

@whambam89 I also have a 10 day LP and am due on Sunday (although flo sats tuesdsy this month because of my possible chemical making my LP look longer last month)

I’m 8dpo today testing negative (yes I’ve tested stupidly early, started yesterday lol)

SS123456 · 16/07/2020 21:37

Marking my place in the thread 😊

mm26 · 16/07/2020 21:21

@whambam89 it's so frustrating! I feel so lost since I never got a static smiley on the CB either! I looked at my symptom chart and if I go off of symptoms it actually looks like I ovulated 2 days earlier than this says. So it's possible I am 9DPO actually. Logging CM is so difficult. I don't fully know what different CMs look like and looking at pictures online of other people's grosses me out! 🙈🤢

Do you think you'll test tomorrow?

whambam89 · 16/07/2020 21:14

@mm26 I really haven't got a clue when it comes to charting so not much use sorry! Femometer did the same to me last cycle then I ended up getting a positive opk a week later and got excited thinking it could indicate a BFP. I didn't log my CM on there this month until I got my positive opk

mm26 · 16/07/2020 21:00

I'm 7DPO today according to Femometer. It only confirmed ovulation with EWCM I logged so don't know how accurate that is. I'm getting tempted to test more and more each day now but going to try my best to hold off until at least the weekend. My temps are a bit all over the place and I don't think I'm too consistent. I can't really make heads or tails of it! 😂

My app says I ovulate tomorrow. Got some tests ordered in, incase I need them for end of the month.

whambam89 · 16/07/2020 20:32

I don't think I can spend all day tomorrow wondering if AF might show so I'm contemplating testing in the morning.... How accurate do you think it would be at 11dpo?

kirinm · 16/07/2020 20:08

Sorry, following to see how you guys go when you test!

@whambam those symptoms are sounding very positive indeed!
