AF every month 27th
Last AF December 27th
positive ovulation test Jan 15th. DTD 14th & 15th. AF due Jan 27th.
When is the earliest you would test?
I'm definitely not imagining it but have more discharge than usual, stomach always rumbling even while eating. Gas, horrendous low back pain and cramps. Sorry if tmi.
I know alot is common AF signs....but you know how it is when you are hopeful.
Thanks x

@Sesamechick it was a long time ago but I always remember it that I had my bfp before my implantation bleed as I then went to get an early scan as I was worried. Had an eternal scan and there was a tiny heartbeat and the nurse said it was implantation bleeding. But not heard of people getting bfp before IB?!

@Giraffe888 ooohhhhh fingers crossed for you!!

@Babycakes39

Ahhh really?! I've never had that before. I still don't think I'm in with a chance this month but I guess time will tell. Really hoping though!!
Do you remember after your IB how soon after you got your BFP? Xx

@Giraffe888

Do you usually get symptoms before AF?
I had the smallest speck of v v light blood on tpilet paper yesterday. I just happened to see it. Dont know wth that was about. I feel so rough today. Still got cramps/dull ache but I'm convincing myself its PMS bc we didnt DTD enough this month! Time will tell!

@imalmostthere
10dpo is still early! Dont lose faith! I also shamefully did an ic and obv BFN not surprised!!

@Sesamechick tested today at 10dpo with a FRER and BFN. Going to wait until Sunday now I think x

Giraffe888 · 25/02/2021 12:50

I’ve got no symptoms here but I didn’t with my first. Only thing I got with him was I had some pinky/red discharge at 9dpo

@imalmostthere

It's impossible not to symptom spot when we feeling so rough and experience new symptoms. The tww really is torture! My stomach is still quite uncomfortable. Constant dull ache.
Think I'll poas tomorrow morning with a cheap stick. Why not right?
When you testing? X

@Sesamechick oh my gosh exactly the same - I'm so nauseous and gassy! I never (sorry tmi) burp, but when I'm pregnant I don't stop - plus just like you, cramping. It feels like I'm about to come on and it happens intermittently and has done since about 3DPO. I'm also irrationally hi hungry one minute and urging the next - I guess it all could be pms but I really don't know! I just want to know 😩

@imalmostthere

Are you having any symptoms?
I'm still feeling extremely nauseous and have this constant dull ache in my lower stomach. Could be PMS! Who bloody (excuse the pun) knows?! X

@imalmostthere
Best wedding present!!
I also never tested this early with my others. I was so much more relaxed and never knew when my fertile window was nor ovulation!

Keep us updated if u test tomorrow!

OP posts:
imalmostthere · 24/02/2021 21:17

@Sesamechick I'm due on March 2nd, I definitely didn't test pos this early with my other two dc. Infact, I tested the day before my wedding as I felt pregnant and it was neg, and I got my BFP the day after our wedding day 😂

@imalmostthere

Not completely sure! According to 2 diff apps, I ovulated on the 16th/17th. I'm counting from the 17th and AF due on the 2nd. I suppose I'll be 8dpo tomorrow.
When is your AF due? I'm sure some have had a BFP at 10dpo but everyone is different
Some only get it after AF due. It's frustrating isn't it!
I'm trying so hard not to symptom spot but I shamefully admit, it is impossible! Last month I was convinced I was pregnant. Weirdest symptoms! I keep trying to tell myself i wont get a BFP this month just to avoid disappointment but that obv wont stop me from POAS 🙈

OP posts:
imalmostthere · 24/02/2021 20:46

@Sesamechick how many DPO will you be tomorrow? I'll be 10, again I know I can't test early and yet I keep doing it and probably will again tomorrow 😬

@Mamaforever Congrats!!! 🎉

@Giraffe888 welcome! Lots of baby dust to us all!

So tempted to POAS tomorrow morning even though logic says it's too early. I have no will power. I know it will be a BFN but will still be disappointed. Why do we do this to ourselves?! I need self control!

Thankyou so much everyone! I’m over the moon!!

@MaltyJones92 must be texting about primark a lot... lol!

Giraffe888 · 24/02/2021 19:38

@Mamaforever looks positive to me too. Congratulations 🥳

@MaltyJones92 nope I don’t think it should cause you a problem! Certainly didn’t for me x

MaltyJones92 · 24/02/2021 19:01

@Giraffe888 ahh that's good to know! I only started worrying about it this month after doing the dreaded Google search and seeing all sorts of doom and gloom. At least I know it shouldn't be an issue 👌🏻

MaltyJones92 · 24/02/2021 18:58

@Mamaforever

‘Primark’ was meant to say Poundland 😂😂
@Mamaforever So funny - I was like, Primark do pregnancy tests now!? 🤣
MaltyJones92 · 24/02/2021 18:57

@Mamaforever I'm definitely no expert but from what I've seen on these forums before it deffo looks like a BFP! Congratulations ❤️🙌🏻

imalmostthere · 24/02/2021 18:22

@Mamaforever HUGE CONGRATULATIONS- both BFP 🎉🍾🎊🥳

Hi ladies! I’ve been watching quietly for a few days now, so thought I’d finally ask for some advice!

I’m 12 dpo today with AF due on Friday! I tested this morning with FMU with a primark test (pink) and then later on after holding wee for a few hours on a wilko test (purple)

I do have a FRER but saving that for tomorrow morning.

What do we think ladies?

P.s. the purple test has got a lot darker since I took this image but I’m not sure if that’s just because it’s dried?

Thankyou!!

When is the earliest you would test?

@MaltyJones92 my LP has always been short but hasn’t affected me. I’ve got one DS already.

Sorry you’re having to re-arrange your wedding. A pregnancy announcement at your re-arranged wedding would be lovely!

@imalmostthere I’ve bought some tests today but I’m not planning on testing until at least Sunday.

With my DS I got my BFP at 12dpo

imalmostthere · 24/02/2021 16:47

So sorry @Emerald4512 that you're poorly as well!

Welcome @Giraffe888 ❤️

Took a FRER Today, 6 days before period is due as written on the side and it's a BFN - I didn't get BFP until much later with my other two children so I know to not test early as my body doesn't pick them up - doesn't stop me doing it though does it?! 🤦🏻‍♀️
