Hi ladies ❤️ I don't know how high my chances are of conceiving this month as feel we may have missed our window, however I am 7 days off AF and I know it's to early to test, anyone else want to join the 7 day wait? These last few days are the WORST 😂

@stepmumSW5 I'm keeping everything crossed for you! There's no reason why you couldn't get pregnant on your first month of trying ❤️

@Kristy17 that is amazing, congratulations! Please post a picture when you can ❤️

So after my possible faint pos yesterday this mornings was stark white, no hint of a line and I feel really period-y. There is no mistaking AF is on her way this month, but it's been so lovely seeing that a lot of us have got those BFPS!

@HollowayL30 I've had my copper coil removed early this month. But as it was the copper I still had my periods. AF due today but no sign of it whatsoever. Might be wishful thinking gut I've been having terrible hay fever for the past 2 weeks and my mom says that was the only symptom she had for both her pregnancies (apart from nipples getting darker). 🤷🏻‍♀️

HollowayL30 · 23/07/2020 09:33

@Kristy17 congratulations!! How long have you been trying? I've just jumped of my bed and I had the pulling stitch in my womb which I got with my other 3 children, not sure if I'm
Just thinking it tho 🤣 My AF is due tomorrow and I don't have any feeling that it's going to happen, however I've only just had my coil out on the 24th last month so I haven't had a period in 9 months ( yup that's how long it lasted in, before we decided to have another) normally without fail the day before I'm due I crave chocolate 😂

stepmumSW5 · 23/07/2020 09:31

@Kristy17 yayy!! Congrats!! We need some baby dust!

I'm afraid to test and get a BFN, at least if I want for AF to be a bit late for a few days I might get a more accurate result. Maybe I'm just avoiding disappointing myself so early. Rarely people get pregnant in the first month they are trying 😰

Kristy17 · 23/07/2020 09:28

@stepmumSW5 I have no idea I’m afraid but if AF hasn’t arrived I’d be tempted to test.

I have some news... I can’t share a photo as I’m a new account but I’ve got my BFP 😃 I can’t believe it eek.

stepmumSW5 · 23/07/2020 08:56

@Workingmama1 I don't know... Still no sign pf AF and normally I get it in the morning. I might wait until the weekend to do a HPT. Fingers crossed!!

Workingmama1 · 23/07/2020 08:27

@Nov19 congratulations!

@stepmumSW5 I have seen a few people get a surge before AF on OPKs, are you going to test today?

Femometer is telling me I'm 8 DPO but I only got a high on Thursday and Friday last week (didn't get a peak but think I missed it) which would only make me 6 DPO by my calculations! Is it mad that I'm annoyed im not 8 DPO and closer to testing?

stepmumSW5 · 22/07/2020 23:04

@MummyFD not really, but this is my first month without the copper coil so the AF symptoms might be super mild?

MummyFD · 22/07/2020 23:03

@stepmumSW5 it could be! I don't want to disappoint you but I tend to have a little surge just before AF - however every body is different and it might mean something else for you! Have you had an AF symptoms?

stepmumSW5 · 22/07/2020 22:32

AF is due tomorrow and I did an ovulation test just to see what happens. Here's the result. May it be the case of the ovulation test picking up hcg by mistake?

7 days until AF, anyone else?
Kristy17 · 22/07/2020 22:12

A huge congratulations @Nov19, definitely a line!!

Thank you @greenjavapiano, here’s hoping for a darker line tomorrow to share with you all!

Welcome @AntiHop.

There’s still plenty of time for lots of you by the sounds of it too. Good luck everyone.

AntiHop · 22/07/2020 19:17

Can I join? I'm 8 days dpo. I have dd aged 5 who we conceived on cycle 2. We've been trying for 9 months now. I'm 42 so I know my chances are low. I had a chemical pregnancy recently.

Nov19 · 22/07/2020 19:05

@3isthemagic don’t lose out hope, I had BFNs at 8 and 9dpo. I told myself I’d do it a few days after missed af but it’s hard not to be impulsive!

@Wherethereshope thank you, good luck! X

Leobaby · 22/07/2020 19:03

@Nov19 yes I can imagine, I’d deffo be the same! I can’t wait to see the results of your digital!

Wherethereshope · 22/07/2020 19:02

@Nov19 congratulations!
Good luck everyone!

3isthemagic · 22/07/2020 18:56

@Nov19 I tested today at 9dpo & got a BFN - I don't know why!?! After 3+ years of trying you would think I would know better by now!?!! 😂😂😂

Nov19 · 22/07/2020 18:37

Thank you all, spreading lots of baby dust to everyone! I didn’t think it would happen this month. With my two DS pregnancies I just knew I was pregnant and would have been content without testing. This time I just wanted to get AF over and done with.

@3isthemagic I’m 11dpo I think. I tested at 9dpo and didn’t even get a hint of a line, so left it for 2 days and here we are. It is a different brand of tests though.

I have another two so will check with fmu tomorrow too to make sure the line is still there.

stepmumSW5 · 22/07/2020 18:14

@Nov19 please spread the baby dust!! congrats xx

stepmumSW5 · 22/07/2020 18:11

Hello can I join yet one more TTC thread? (totally addicted!!)

I'm TTC for the first time ever, first cycle. AF is due tomorrow!! No sign of cramps but because I've removed the IUD this month (and cramps were caused by IUD) I don't think I'd have cramps anyway...

Almost the end of the TWW and I'm going crazy!!

3isthemagic · 22/07/2020 17:56

Congratulations @Nov19 that looks like a good strong positive to me x x
How many dpo are you?

greenjavapiano · 22/07/2020 17:47

My boobs are sorer this afternoon. Glad I'm on annual leave this week and can do something nice to distract myself (mostly) from the symptoms Confused

@Wherethereshope I don't normally get swollen boobs during tww (just a bit sore) so would say that's a positive sign.

@Nov19 congratulations Smile the line's dark enough that I didn't have to open the photo

@workingmama1 Sorry to hear about your loss Flowers. The only month I got a positive test I was sure our timing was wrong too, and not often enough!

@Kristy17 don't worry it would take ages to fully read every post, I haven't. In my experience there's not as much dye in the thin strip tests, for me they were always fainter than the stick tests I've used so I wouldn't worry about the faintness.

Nov19 · 22/07/2020 17:01

@Leobaby thank you! I thought because I tested negative at 9dpo then I didn’t stand a chance. I’m going to confirm with a clear blue digital in a few days, I feel like I won’t believe it until I see the words (especially after the evap line a few days ago)

HollowayL30 · 22/07/2020 16:57

@Nov19 I can def see a line!! Congratulations!! xx

Leobaby · 22/07/2020 16:48

Ooo that’s a definite line @Nov19 congrats!!Flowers
