Fertile window 10-15 October. Anyone with me?

Oh that's so good to hear! I'm sure this little bean is a sticker and everything will be perfect! So exciting!

Look after yourself and keep us posted on progress!xx

Hi @BrownF89 I am doing well thanks! Still pregnant according to the cheapo tests that I can't stop doing daily! No big symptoms yet except for mild cramping. I still can't quite believe it and have to stop being too excited as its still very early days.

Hope you are all doing OK, sending lots of baby dust your way xx

Hey @Luckyelephant1 - just checking in to see how you're doing? Hope everything is good!?

@Luckyelephant1 - YAAYY! Congratulations!!! So exciting and hoping it's a sticky little bean! 😊

BFN again this morning (although I think I'm hallucinating lines now!! 😂) so pretty sure AF has come early!

I'm 11dpo and it wasn't an evap line I saw yesterday as I've taken two further tests today and they are definitely BFPs! I'm shocked! It doesn't feel real yet, hoping against hope this little one sticks!

@BrownF89 it could still be IB if you ovulated later than you thought? Maybe test first thing tomorrow. I didn't have any spotting.

So I cracked yesterday and took a test with was BFN but I feel like it's too early. Still waiting for AF although I'm still getting cramps and I swear my nipples look darker!

Sorry for the constant questions ladies... (i promise next month i won't ask as many questions!) Just been to the toilet and after I wiped had a bit of dark brown jelly like stuff.... I'm 11dpo now but AF not due until the 3rd? I know time will tell but can you have implantation bleeding at 11dpo or is it likely early AF??

Happy weekend everyone x

@Luckyelephant1 - I'm glad I'm not alone!! Haha! Keeping EVERYTHING crossed that your line is a positive!

@Char1803 - thank you! I know it's still early so won't lose all hope yet... just preparing for a BFN to soften the blow! And... massive congratulations on your BFP! I'm sure it will remain that way and AF won't appear xx

@jules5232 to be honest this was my first month TTC so i was so confused by symptoms etc because I didn't really know what was normal for me during my cycle and what wasn't as i never paid much attention. But here are some because I know I frantically googled mine in hope of a sign!!

I had such painful breasts (still do). I have always suffered from tender breasts during my cycle but mine were just constantly sore, I would wake up and they would be aching! Also noticed them to he much fuller and bumps around my nipples.

After ovulation (EWCM) I found my CM to be quite an obvious white creamy lotion (I didn't get loads of it though only when wiping was it noticeable).

I have had back ache for the last 2 weeks and I never really suffer from it.

On around 8dpo I had a real sharp shooting pain in my left hand side (it lasted only a few seconds and only happened once). I hadn't really experienced any other cramps or pains before my bfp or any spotting.

On around 12 dpo I started to get really bad heartburn and was burping constantly! Also a tooth of mine that has had a hole in for years suddenly cracked and part of my tooth felt out (I googled that hormones can really effect your teeth).

I was a smoker and even though I tried to stop when TTC I had the odd one here and there and they really made me feel sick.

I felt a sour/tangy taste when eating lots of foods that almost made my mouth water.
It sounds silly but the whole time I really just felt like I was pregnant but tried to convince myself I was going mad.

I'm now driving myself mad hoping that AF doesn't appear and it turns out to be a CP!!

@Char1803 Congratulations! That's great news 🎉

@jules5232 spotting got heavier yesterday and has continued today, so it's definitely af. Temp has come down marginally but nothing significant so that's a bit strange. Back to starting the whole process again! Fingers crossed your af doesn't arrive 🤞 x

Don't let this put you off, I took a test 9dpo and BFN, I then took another 12dpo and got a vvv faint bfp. Took a clear blue digital yesterday and got a bfp (14dpo). AF not due for another 2 days so keeping my fingers crossed 🤞

Omg @BrownF89 are we the same person... I cracked today too at 10dpo. Hope you're OK, there is definitely still hope.

There's a really faint line on mine that both my husband and I can see. However it's quite far apart from the control line compared to what is shown on the instructions so I'm telling myself not to get hopes up as it is most probably an evap line. I'm going to test again on Saturday (although who am I kidding, I bet I'll test again tomorrow).

From a very shallow perspective I kinda just need to know as I have a weekend of social events planned and want to know for sure if I can drink or not!

10dpo and obviously I cracked and took a test. And obviously it was negative! 🤦‍♀️

First - why don't I have any self control? 😂

Two - now feeling pretty fed up but trying to remain a little hopeful. Especially seeing as on my other tracker I could still only be 9dpo.

Although the last five months of 'not not' trying has been unsuccessful, it was definitely more enjoyable and less stressful!!

I'm 9dpo now and getting mild cramps but because I'm get bloating and ibs symptoms quite a lot I can't really tell if it's that. I also got way more out of breath than usual today in my workout, like very noticeably so, and apparently breathlessness can be an early sign. No spotting or anything else though. Trying to hold out the next few days until I test!

So I had mild cramping yesterday which I thought was the beginning of AF but now nothing at all!

@jules5232 since this morning, the spotting has got heavier and has gone from brown to reddish brown, so I think it is af. Strange though that it's come so early and without a dip in temp. I do sometimes get spotting a day before af.

How are you getting on? Did your af arrive today?

@BrownF89 hey I'm not sure about the OPK as I don't use them, hopefully others here have experience and can help you.

I'm really confused as this morning there has been more spotting and light cramps, which normally would indicate af but I'm 9DPO so af shouldn't be starting yet. If it was implantation bleeding would it mean I might get a BFP now or still to early?

Ladies! Just trying to work out my ovulation and dpo (first month using lh tests) - the photos show that i peaked on 18th. Would i have definitely then ovulated on the 19th because of the decrease in lh or could it have been the 20th?
This app says 19th however my fitbit (which I've been logging periods on for years) said the 20th? This femometer app changed my ovulation day by a day after my lh tests! Hoping that question actually makes sense! Thank you

@jules5232 yes hopefully! Yep still charting temp, it dropped slightly today but still fairly high. I guess I'll know if I get a big drop in the next couple of days! I'm glad I started monitoring my temp, its made it much easier to work out what is going on. Hopefully you won't need your new thermometer but if you do, it definitely is useful! That will be good to get the bloodwork done, just incase there is an issue, you want to know sooner rather than later.

@Chascha18 are cramps normal for you this many days ahead of your period? If not, could be implantation cramps 🤞

Hey everyone, 8DPO today and I've just noticed some creamy CM with a very slight grey/brownish tinge. So either af is on the way or possibly implantation spotting. If af is on the way, that's not a good sign as will mean my luteal phase is too short. I was planning on testing 30th or 31st but we'll see what happens with af.

@ame88 if it's not getting too costly, I think it would be good to do another test on Thursday, you'll be 14DPO and most people would be showing a positive by then.

@jules5232 maybe you could also test again on Thursday is af doesn't arrive? Just curious, what does the Day 3 bloodwork look for?
