@samantha06 i’m sure that’s nothing. Try not to stress too much. Won’t be good for you and hopefully your pregnancy test can put your mind at ease.

samantha06 · 24/08/2020 10:23

@pinkiii nothing much was just when i wiped after having a wee.x

Pinkiii · 24/08/2020 10:23

@Roelav1i had extreme bloating all Last week, which I don’t normally get, even when my period is due, also had lots of cramps which were quite painful actually.

Pinkiii · 24/08/2020 10:21

@samantha06 sorry to hear that. Is it bleeding or just spotting?

My friend had some spotting all through first trimester and had a healthy pregnancy. Fingers crossed for you!

samantha06 · 24/08/2020 10:19

Hi ladies, i had abit of blood when i went to the loo this morning, phoned local gp not their prob, passed me onto early pregnancy clinic, called them nothing they can do atm need to retest in a week if i dont have period type bleeding. If i do and bleeding increases, looks like a chemical pregnancy or early miscarry.. anyone got some positive stories for me😭😭😭😭 feeling heart broken x

Roelav1 · 24/08/2020 09:51

Hi everyone, I still haven’t tested yet AF due any day now. Having a few very mild cramps and feel super bloated, hubby says he’s never seen me look so bloated before🤣 Just wondering if anyone else experience mild cramps and bloating before getting a BFP?! not holding out much hope but these cramps and the bloating just feel a bit different to what I normally get before AF so who knows!

Lozzbee · 24/08/2020 08:40

@samantha06 yeah i tried taking a photo aswell but that made me feel worse haha. Going to try again in a few days. AF is due over the next couple of days. Feeling very crampy this morning morning so maybe out of the running this month. Fingers crossed for you if youre testing again with a diff brand xx

samantha06 · 24/08/2020 08:24

@mosherchick thankyou, im really worried now that im not, i really expected the lines to be way darker, 4 days after expected period now too, but granted i dont know when i ovulated, just going by my last period now. Theres nothing i dont think that could have caused a false positive, i havnt had a uti or anything! Also no bleeding or anything to suggest otherwise!
@lozzabee congratulations! Horrible when the lines are so faint it makes you question if they are even there, thats how mine are. Google says the first response are the most sensitive tests on the market.
My lines dont really even show when i take a pic😖 so frustrating

Lozzbee · 24/08/2020 08:13

@samantha06 i tested this morning aswell. Im almost sure i can see a faintline but it could be wishful thinking. I used clear blue aswell so might get a different brand and test in a few days x

Mosherchick · 24/08/2020 07:41

First off, @Samantha06, congrats!second, I don't think Clearblue is am especially sensitive brand. First response is the most sensitive brand, as far as I'm aware.

samantha06 · 24/08/2020 06:24

Good morning ladies!! I did a test thursday & Friday and got very faint positives, tested agaim this morning and its stil super faint?
Now in worried it should be darker by now... whats everyone else think?
Going by my last period it does only put me at 4 weeks pregnant, ive been using clear blue, thinking i should have got a more sensitive brand. Feeling abit worried now??... 😬

Mosherchick · 23/08/2020 22:15

I don't blame you. I've been there! I'm just sick of seeing that empty screen, so I told myself I'd wait this time.

Lozzbee · 23/08/2020 22:04

@mosherchick i caved. Bought one today to do in the morning. If its a bfn ill not test again til AFs late x

Mosherchick · 23/08/2020 22:02

@Lozzbee Yeah, until I'm three days late. You?

Lozzbee · 23/08/2020 21:58

@mosherchick fingers crossed for you! You holding off testing?

Mosherchick · 23/08/2020 21:54

@Lozzbee AF is due on the 26th. Since I started trying at the start of this year though, my cycle has been all over the place.

I assumed that if I had implanted, it was early at 6/7DPO. Now, at 12 DPO, pink spotting.

Aaah, yes the twinges. I'm overanalysing too!

Lozzbee · 23/08/2020 21:50

@mosherchick when is af due? Is there a possiblity you could have inplanted earlier than you thought? Not sure what the window is for implantation haha. Ive also had some crampy/pully/twingey sensations in lower abdomen but im pretty sure im over analysing. Probably wind haha x

Mosherchick · 23/08/2020 21:33

Hi @Lozzbee. I'm in more or less the same boat as you, symptoms the same almost down to the last detail! This evening I've had some pink spotting, but now confused as how could I have been having symptoms for the past few days if I've only just implanted? 😆

Lozzbee · 23/08/2020 21:29

Hope im not too late to the party. AF due on the 28th i think. The last week ive been symptom spotting like crazy, feel different this month to previous. 9th month ttc 1st baby. Had heart burn on and off every day for a week. Boobs feel heavy and veins seem more noticeable. Skin has broken out on my chin. And for the last few nights ive had insomnia. Think im between 10-12 dpo but not too sure. Bought a test for tomorrow morning. Wanted to holf off til AF was late but didnt have the will power. Fingers crossed! Seen that some of you are also due AF around thr 28th! Feels better somehow knowing youre all feeling the same haha x

Kg87 · 23/08/2020 21:26

@abitfunny oh how annoying! I’ll be sure to avoid, hoping you get a stronger positive soon xx

abitfunny · 23/08/2020 21:21

@Kg87 - apparently not! Then I googled and so many bad reviews came up. The two I took before this one were both Tesco and were much stronger positives.

Kg87 · 23/08/2020 20:36

@abitfunny what did the other thread say about the Tesco ones? Are they not very reliable?

abitfunny · 23/08/2020 19:33

Thanks ladies. I’ve just seen another thread on here about the Tesco ones which make sense! So bad and misleading...

Pinkiii · 23/08/2020 19:22

@abitfunny definitely a positive!! Congrats!!

igloo92 · 23/08/2020 19:13

@abitfunny yes definitely positive! 🎉🎉🎉
