@Kaz1987 thanks , I would hold off testing. I wish I had as I am questioning everything.

My spotting has stopped completely and no signs of AF yet . I don't no if I would have to wait 2 days after an implantation bleed (if that is what that was) before I would get a result x

@Kaz1987 thank you 💕 If I were you (having tested this morning and also due on on Friday) I would try my best to wait. I tested this morning and haven’t stopped googling for the slight possibility that I’ve just tested early so it’s messed with my head even more 😔 even though deep down I know it’s a negative you always have that little bit of hope. So, I know it’s really hard but If you can wait, I’d wait.

I was reading a article this morning that said testing early isn’t good because it only confirms you haven’t got enough HCG in your urine yet. You still don’t know where you stand until AF is due or one day late, unless you do get a positive!

I really do hope at least one of us gets a BFP this month🤞🏻 💕

Kaz1987 · 20/01/2021 11:40

Good luck to everybody, fingers crossed for 🧚🏼‍♀️ dust everywhere Over the next few weeks 😊

Kaz1987 · 20/01/2021 11:39

@LRW26 sorry about your negative
@1992EM sorry to hear this, bring on the AF if that’s the case

I’m due AF on Friday, symptom spotting out of hand I’ve noticed:-

Burping more (sorry tmi)
Bled slightly last week
Feeling nauseous but not actually been sick
Having cramps on and off

Don’t know whether to just test today or not, I’m nervous 😂

@LRW26 sorry about your negative. I am now annoyed I wasted a test. I do the crazy Google searches too but always find you look for the answer you want to hear. I am now worried about why I have started spotting so early . Not had anything overnight or today so far so will see when AF decides to rear her ugly head x

@1992EM I’m 12 DPO and I also caved and tested this morning with a easy@home test and it was stark white 🤦🏻‍♀️ I’ve been Googling ever since but honestly I just think it’s not my month again.

@Misswhoshallnotbenamed welcome to the group! 💕

@Dex1521 it’s hard isn’t it! Maybe wait until AF and then if no show test again? I know I’m always mad at myself when I’ve kept testing because AF has shown and I’m mad I’ve wasted the tests 🤦🏻‍♀️
I really hope you get your BFP! X

Dex1521 · 20/01/2021 08:38

@Tabbycat92 yah that's the plan don't know if I'll do it again Friday or wait until AF shows on Sunday

@dex1521 sorry I am not good with tests unless the line is obvious . Hopefully there is one.

I tested at 12dpo and stark white. Just waiting for AF to come now. 😭 I know i am not out until it shows but in my head I know I am x

Tabbycat92 · 20/01/2021 08:15

@dex1521 I can defo see something!! Test again in a couple days 🤞

Dex1521 · 20/01/2021 07:50

@Tabbycat92 yeah you want your chart to keep rising after ovulation it should stay about the horizontal line. When it starts to drop below it means AF could be on its way

I took an FRER this morning and BFN I think. I feel like I can see something and so can DP but think I'm kidding myself tbh I'm 10dpo

@misswhoshallnotbenames welcome!

Anyone good with bbt charts? I have no idea what I'm looking at haha. Is this normal for it to keep rising like this? I ovulated cd14. Bbt is the blue line. The red like is lh

@apwilso sounds promising . I am on the dash the the loo every 5 mins as keep thinking AF has started but just loads of discharge 🙈. Spotting has been intermittent throughout the day. If AF starts early I have no idea what has went wrong as I always have a 14 day luteal phase the shortest being 13 .

Still on low level opks but I've got EWCM! Looks like it's on route hopping the OH comes home from work sooner rather than later 🤐

Misswhoshallnotbenamed · 19/01/2021 18:35

@apwilso thank you lovely! Thanks for having me 💗

apwilso · 19/01/2021 17:04

I'm still waiting for ovulation always feel well behind everyone😂 was getting worried because my opks aren't very dark but remembered I had w late period so it might be later than expected 😅

@dex1521 Thank you, I have had brown blood before but it usually comes first and then pink, red. This is just different and my boobs still feel massive whereas when spotting starts they tend to not be as "swollen". I am going to say I will test tomorrow and will see how I feel in the morning 🙈🤣. Good luck testing. Fingers crossed this is our month. 💕x

@1992EM it definitely sounds more like implantation than AF and AF spotting would more like me red whereas implantation is pinkish/brown. If you want to test I'd say go for it, I'm going to test tomorrow morning. But remember if it is stark white you may not have enough HCG in your urine so could be false negative. Not out until AF shows

Crazy symptom spotting is back. So I have had spotting since yesterday. Yesterday it was very light like just a pin prick of blood and some pink discharge but not a lot . This morning it went to a brown colour which I know can be old blood . Surely the old blood would have been first though rather than pink and then brown. The last few times there has been nothing at all . I really want to test tomorrow but don't want to see a stark white test. I also don't even know if I was if it would even show up yet if what the bleeding was , is implantation. I am so tired and have bad heart burn today as well. The tww is such a killer x

@misswhoshallnotbenamed it takes getting used to with all the shortened terms . Just ask if you are not sure. We have all been st that point in our journey 💕

@1992EM yes! You all seem so supportive so pleased to have found this thread! Ahhh thanks so much for confirming what IC was... was sitting here for ages racking my brain as didn’t want to ask and look stupid. Thanks again for the advise 💗

@misswhoshallnotbenamed IC is Internet cheapie and I would say 12dpo is the best date as more likely to have a true results . Even better to wait until AF is late so you don't waste money on loads of tests x
