Would you say the 3rd test down was my peak? Seems to be getting lighter top one was today. These were alot brighter irl. The picture of one on its own was the third test down before it dryed. How many more days should I DTD? And when would I class 1dpo? Thanks 😁

@Skl2021 I usually get them maybe the day before but that's it.. this started Friday 👀🤷🏼‍♀️ I'm due Sunday 🤷🏼‍♀️ this is why I just don't know what's going on!! I haven't tried an OPK, I'm not trying anything now 😂 as I know my period is coming!
How long is your cycle usually? Xx

@Confused678866 have u tried an opk? Do u usually get symptoms before af? I was hoping to wait until at least 10 if not longer. So that would be Thursday. If opks don't get darker I might even try and wait until af is due which I don't even know when that will be 😂 as cycle is way longer than normal. X

@Skl2021 Yeah that's what I was thinking but the cramping started Friday! So I just think AF is teasing me and will appear in the next couple of days. It's easier if I think I'm already out to be honest!
Haha when do you think you will test? Xx

@Confused678866 yes its still to early 😂 your still in this month think positive. If the cramps were implantation I think it takes another 24-48 hours for hgc to start showing so still to early? This final week is going to drag 🤦 the need to test is becoming real 😂🤞

@Skl2021 I had a moment of madness this morning 😂
I just can't understand why I'm getting the cramps, the backache and the bloated feeling... I'm only 9DPO but I figured if the cramping was due to something happening, I'd have a BFP after all of that. AF is due the weekend. I have 3 different tracking apps (👀😂) one says Saturday, one says Sunday and the other days Monday so I'm going on the middle and saying I'm due on on Sunday! But with my random cycles the last couple of months, who knows! 🤦🏼‍♀️

@Confused678866 no not really had the odd niggle in tummy but I think I'm reading into things too much 😂 I'm only about 7dpo so too early for anything I would think. What dpo are you? Stil bit early for testing isn't it. Hope af doesn't show for you! It's not over until she does. I thought u were trying to hold out 🤦😂

Confused678866 · 15/03/2021 19:36

@Skl2021 oh that's good though, any symptoms?
I'm still getting the cramping on and off so I tested with a FRER this morning but was it was BFN as suspected.. I think I'm out this month, I reckon AF is on her way shortly! It can be the only reasonable explanation for the cramping I think xx

@Skl2021 Ooh let me know how it goes later! It really does become an addiction doesn't it 🙈
I keep going between hopeful and not hopeful this month.. I'm driving myself crazy! Currently not hopeful 😑🙄😂 xx

@Confused678866 yes might do another later tonight or see if I can wait till tomorrow. Just to see if it goes darker 🤔 I know it's not definite and I'm not getting my hopes up just good to see the outcome of it 🤣 and I have a pee on a stick addiction 🤦 keeping me from testing early x

Confused678866 · 14/03/2021 16:59

@Confused678866 haha get trying an opk to pass the time! Keep ya going until you test for real 🤦🤣🤞I'm going to do one later on haven't done one today x

Confused678866 · 14/03/2021 13:00

@Skl2021 Yes it's so weird how everyone is just so different! I think I'll wait another couple of days and then I'll be 10DPO and I'll see how it goes. I've read about the OPK thing actually.. don't tell me these things, I've got so many in my drawer 🤣 keep me updated though!! Xx

@Confused678866 yes different people get different symptoms nothing we can do but wait. That won't stop us tho we will still symptom spot 🤣🙈 unless it was something obvious like implantation pain and bleed. I would test after that. Well I was thinking around 9dpo IV read alot get it that early but I think that's a bit early? Might do my opks and if they start getting positive then try one and if not hold off until 11ish? Haha I'm saying this now but I'm sure the urge will take over I can't help myself even though I know it's early 🤦 x

Confused678866 · 14/03/2021 12:24

@Skl2021 Well, I have read lots of stories about women getting cramps like AF at this point in their cycle and then going on to get BFP's but I just really don't know! I mean, I definitely wasn't imagining it as they were quite full on all day yesterday and they've eased today 🤷🏼‍♀️ I just fret that AF is going to come early again like last month!!
Well, no symptoms at all is actually a good sign too!! I've read that so many times!
I haven't got a clue when I'll test, I think I'm really going to wait as long as possible as the BFN's just kill me! When will you start testing? Xx

@Confused678866 isn't that a good sign? At least your having some symptoms I have nothing 🤣 haha I also read into everything I'm also doing opks as I read that sometimes if there positive it can lead to positive hpt! But u can also get a surge of lh before af so I'm not sure haha just thought I would pass the time 🙈 there not positive yet tho only hint of a line 🤣 this week will drag. When are u starting to test? X

Confused678866 · 14/03/2021 12:09

@Skl2021 Well, I had AF type cramps yesterday and backache. AF not due until next weekend. I had my peak last Friday (5th) so I'm thinking I'm 8DPO today.
The cramps have thrown me a little to be honest as I'm really trying not to read too much into it (that's a complete lie, I'm reading absolutely everything 👀😂). But I never get cramping this early on... unless my period is coming early again like last month? 🤷🏼‍♀️ xx

@Confused678866 so it's a week last Sunday I got my positive. Not much to update. Don't feel any different 🙈🤣 too early to test yet. How about you?

[quote Skl2021]@Confused678866 yes they usually stay as soon as you stop trying it happens. It stresses me out too I just don't want to miss my window as I don't have a clue what's happening with my cycles. Would start going silly as soon as we ttc! I also think half the time we find the symptoms 😂 I don't even think I felt any different to normal when I got positive tests! This will be my 3rd child. 1st took 9months of trying. 2nd was 1st month so we will see how long this one takes 🤦 at least our tww wait will be similar we could share symptoms and testing! 🤞🙈 Tww drives me crazy I hate it. I thought with this cycle I was coming to the other end of it not starting it again 🤪😩[/quote]
It’s so true!! I just wish I could be more laid back about it all. 🙈
I’m the same, I don’t want to miss the window as I think that’s what happened in Jan/Feb but who knows.
Oh wow so both times were pretty quickly. Hopefully not too long for this one 🤞🏻
Yes we’ll definitely have to keep each other updated. Me too, two weeks feel like two months! I’ve been working from home mainly though so I know that doesn’t help me as I overthink everything. Back in the office the end of March so that will be better but I’m really hoping I get my BFP this month 😭
Let’s keep everything crossed 🤞🏻 for both of us xx
