Anyone else 7DPO and hating the waiting part?

@Meg87 so sorry to hear AF came for you x

That's a good sign @Cafeaulait27 !! Good luck for Friday!

BFN today for me so I'm thinking I'm out and unfortunately my BFP was an indent or something?! 😞

Hahaha very good idea @Cafeaulait27 😀

Yes, very sure it's AF unfortunately. Heavy bleeding (which I imagine wouldn't be the case with implantation), and period-like cramps. 😣

@Meg87 are you sure it’s def your period and not implantation? My first pregnancy implantation bleeding happened at exactly the same time my period was due xxx

I’m going to wait to test until Friday! Usually I would be testing now but my husband has hidden the tests under strict instructions to not give them to me until Friday xxx

AF started this morning, right on time, so no testing for me tomorrow 😔 I'm pretty disappointed as I thought I felt a lot different to other cycles, but I guess that's probably standard when TTC!

Good luck to everyone else still in the running 🤞.

That sounds promising @Cafeaulait27 - is it tomorrow you're going to test?

@Lulukate1 that’s so early so don’t give up hope! 🙂

Sorry for TMI but my husband and I did it again this morning and I got some pink discharge afterwards. This is the second time it’s happened this cycle, last time we did it was Monday and it happened then too. It’s too early for my period so I googled it and it’s mostly saying it’s normal and common in early pregnancy as the cervix is changing so I’m hoping this is a good sign. It happened last time I was pregnant too.

I’m hoping it’s a good sign and not a bag sign 🤞

How is everyone else doing today? Any more tests? Xxx

Morning ladies,
9dpo and BFN this morning.
Feeling strange as not had my usual AF symptoms but have had some. I know its still early for testing but I just can't help myself 😂
How is everyone else today? X

@Aubyone thank you that’s such a good idea! We’ve got some of my favourite wine in so I can have that, and we have pains au chocolat in the freezer that we could have for Friday breakfast after testing 🙂 and maybe we could watch a movie Friday night or something. Xxx

@hungrycaterpillar12 I did my own chart 🤓 However can't workout how to upload it as a pic (I'm using the MN app). But over the last 9 days my heart rates been:

02-Feb 57
01-Feb 56
31-Jan 48
30-Jan 55
29-Jan 50
28-Jan 50
27-Jan 52
26-Jan 46
25-Jan 51

What's more interesting is that the weekend I had really bad pain with my cysts my heart rate was up to 60 those days. Mine varies normally between 45-56 on average

@Crazydoglady123 I have an Apple watch too, but to be honest I much preferred fitbit and their heart monitoring. I think Apple just have so much information but don’t always present it in a user friendly way. Do you manage to use it well?

@HerringGull thanks, I will test on Thursday I think.. fingers crossed. Hope you are doing well!!

@Aubyone I've looked up the threads after your comment and I'm now checking my HR averages on my Apple Watch 🤣 In all seriousness though that's really interesting!

@peach1234 it ain’t over til it’s over, fingers crossed for you!

I’m due Friday and no spotting or any cramping yet, so I’m hoping it’s a good sign...

Thursday according to my app! But cycles have been a bit random and ranging between 27-29 days and that's based on 27! After negatives today I'm not holding out much hope but we'll see! Xx

Thanks @peach1234 3 days to go for me! When did you say you’re due? Xx

Good luck to everyone due af in the next couple of days, hope she stays away!! Xx

@Lulukate1 - re heart rate, I wouldn't particularly recommend it unless you are an absolutely data-nerd like me looking for all and any info you can get on your body! Temperatures are much more useful. The jury seems to be out on whether Heart rate really shows much - mine shows a very clear pattern of rising before ovulation, and staying up for a bit, but some ladies on here (there's a coouple of threads on it) say a continued rise/staying high in luteal phase is a good sign for a BFP, but then also, some peoples drops so I know i shouldn't read much into it until I've tracked for a few cycles! I wouldn't go out of your way to measure it, but if you already wear a fitbit or similar, then might be interesting? I love plotting things on graphs because it gives me some sort of feeling of control

@hungrycaterpillar12 I can definitely see a line on both photos - tentative congratulations! How long are you going to manage to wait before testing again?

@peach1234 not sure if I can see anything or not, but so much harder in a photo than real life. I guess you've just got to wait a bit longer to know for sure - so frustrating!

@Blossom37 hate a temp drop, but in some ways it's kind of a nice way to let you down slowly, rather than the nastiness of AF pouncing on you. I assume your temp drop is the time when you usually see one before AF, and not earlier (in which case it might not be so bad)?

@cafeaulait27 it's easier said than done but it's still very early stages so if you're not testing until Friday try and keep busy until then ❤ you're definitely not alone, we are all on this journey together. I am also so hopeful but ive prepared myself for a BFN this time next week. Until then I am testing regularly to see if I see any change. Personally I've found it OK and easier to accept the negative results, but I know this way isn't for everybody!

@blossom37 you're not out til you're out 🤞 keeping everything crossed for you and for all xx

@hungrycaterpillar12 I can see a second line on the second photo! Try again if AF doesn't arrive 🤞

@aubyone I tested BFN this morning also at 8dpo. And the same as you I feel OK about it, its first month for us too. I'm not tracking my HR would you recommend it? Hopefully we have implantation over the next couple of days & we see some BFPs at the weekend 😊

What’s everyone’s thoughts? I am very sceptical. Think it might be too grey. When i took it out of the casing, it was a bit clearer as you can see, but also know you shouldn’t really do that.

BFNs this morning 😞 weirdly though looked back at the cb from last night (attached) and there's a faint line but obviously wasn't within the time. Wish I could just chill and wait until AF!

I am 14dpo today, could possibly be 13dpo (period due tomorrow to give me a 29 day cycle, but can be up to 30 days usually) took a FRER test and have the faintest lines. Really struggled to get a photo of it, but my thoughts are that it’s an evap line. I will try and get some photos but struggling, might take it out the casing for photo purposes only. Will post them below for you all to judge.

@HerringGull maybe. I feel like I'm just going to keep putting each day off 😅 I haven't had any major symptoms and obviously with my cysts being ruptured I've had a lot of abdominal pain and bloating but the last couple of days I've been constipated and yesterday I started burping loads and heartburn but like I say hard to know if the cysts or pregnancy sign

Hahaha @Cafeaulait27, we sound like a right couple of charmers at the moment 😀 my poor DP, having to listen to my tummy gurgling away in bed, and then to be greeted by a burp first thing this morning 😆

I agree with @Aubyone about getting something nice in to treat yourself if you do get a BFN, but hopefully you won't need it! 🤞 And remember, we'll all be here if you need us.

This is the sixth cycle I've tracked, my first cycle was when I had my early loss, and the cycle after that was a bit messed up because of it, but for the three cycles after that my periods have started 16 days after my LH peak. The length leading up to the peak has varied by a day or two but it's been consistent afterwards.

@Aubyone that's a great idea! Like whatever the result you'll have a good night anyway I guess it would only work if you only test once per cycle though... if you're a test-every-day person that would be a lot of food and wine!!

@Crazydoglady123 I was terrified too. Would it help to do it together with your DP so that you can support each other whatever the result?
