Currently 1DPO (I think). Got a positive OPK on Thursday so assuming I ovulated either yesterday or maybe today. Have had sore boobs, bloating and cramping today.

Anyone else at the same stage who wants to wait with me?

Oh @rathernotshare I'm so sorry to hear this, it is a very cruel game for sure. I really hope next month is your month and that you have some treats planned now AF is here (for me it's always straight onto the blue cheese and wine!)

rathernotshare · 01/07/2021 11:02

AF is here 1 day early 😢 good luck everyone and congratulations to those that have made it out of this horrible game 😂

overtherainbow21 · 01/07/2021 09:41

@SATCfan ha no worries at all lovely! I find it really hard to keep track of who said what too...MN need avatars I think! So much baby dust✨to everyone, I'll post the results of my little experiment later 🤓 x

@overtherainbow21
Ps I just saw that I congratulated you yesterday re your CB BFP - that’s some serious memory loss on my part!!!

SATCfan · 01/07/2021 09:24

@overtherainbow21
Oops 🙈 I just realised I had mixed you up with someone else.. new to mn and I seem to get very confused re who said what 🤣🤣. Anyway, so chuffed it’s a BFP and certainly I hear positive things about FRERs. Sounds like a good experiment to use your FMU with the other tests - keep us posted. And send us baby dust please x

Left work at lunch today because of really bad cramps. AF not due for another five days, cramping is really bad in my ovary area. I know my monthly PMS symptoms are really extreme and I'm concerned I have something underlying so I've booked a Dr appointment. Being a woman sucks sometimes!

Poppydoppy18 · 01/07/2021 08:16

@sunnyside257 I think implantation can happen as late as 12dpo right? You might not be out yet

Think I'm out. 12 OR 13DPO and started bleeding this morning. Af wasn't due until Saturday and the blood looks like brown ewcm (tmi) but I'd say it's too late to hope it's implantation so just taking it as the start of AF.

Aw thanks @SATCfan 💗 Actually my other positive from yesterday was CB early detection at 11DPO (wasn't sure as it was blue dye and faint)- I had BFNs on IC, Sainsbury's own brand (both 9DPO) and CB early detection (10DPO) earlier in the week...have kept this morning's sample and might do an experiment with my leftover ICs and Sainsbury's tests later though to see how well they work, as I always wonder!

@toadstool32 thank you! I'm only 3 weeks 5 days 🙈 how are you feeling?

SATCfan · 01/07/2021 07:07

@overtherainbow21
Ps so the internet cheapies were right (and quicker at picking up than FRER), who’d have thought?!? Congrats again ☺️🎊

toadstool32 · 01/07/2021 07:02

Congrats @overtherainbow21 how far gone does that make you? I found out a week ago and am now still only 4 blooming weeks!!

SATCfan · 01/07/2021 07:01

@overtherainbow21yes, definitely a clear line, hooray 🎊💐🥳, that’s great!

overtherainbow21 · 01/07/2021 05:25

Confirmed with FRER 😳 faint but clear I think...starting to believe it now! 🎉 AF due tomorrow just hope it sticks 🤞🏻 Good luck to everyone testing today x

TWW anyone?
BritInNZ · 30/06/2021 21:38

@sunnyside257

I feel okay. Starting to feel like I have PMS. Can feel it in my boobs but I also have some ewcm. My period is due Friday or Saturday.
EWCM is unusual for so close to AF, hopefully that's a good sign! I just went on my monthly 'AF is coming, let's buy all the vitamins so I get pregnant next month' shopping trip 😂
rathernotshare · 30/06/2021 21:29

@Poppydoppy18 I'd say 15dpo is a good day, impressive you've waited so long!!

Feeling rubbish, absolutely fed up. Ringing the fertility clinic tomorrow even though AF isn't here yet

How's everyone feeling? I have full blown PMS now - really sore boobs and cramps (happens every month) and AF due on Tuesday. Well and truly out of the hope phase for this month and pretty gutted and emotional. This is SO hard! Now onto 6 months TTC and officially fed up.

theodora2146 · 30/06/2021 18:45

We last DTD Sunday.... I did my ovulation test today and got my smiley face..... is there still a chance I could become pregnant? My partner is now working away for a few days!

Poppydoppy18 · 30/06/2021 18:32

My period is due tomorrow but I feel too stressed to wait till the morning after to take a test (if AF doesn’t arrive). Would it be silly to take one tomorrow morning? Would be 15dpo

overtherainbow21 · 30/06/2021 11:40

Aw thanks so much lovely ladies, I had 100% counted myself out for this month so really wasn't sure if I was seeing things! 😳 Feeling quite stunned, I can't concentrate on anything today - excited but cautiously so for now as AF not due til Friday. Reeeeally desperate to see a darker line tomorrow 🤞🏻

Sorry for the BFNs, I've had a few of those myself this week and maybe I'll turn out to be a cautionary tale not to lose hope! It's not over til it's over. Keeping everything crossed for you all.

@rathernotshare that's really does sound odd - did you get your FRER from Amazon by any chance, just because I've seen threads about faulty batches from there before? I've used a lot of ICs in my time including onestep and they have always been stark white when I wasn't pregnant 🤔 I don't want to give you false hope but you never know.

T2710 · 30/06/2021 11:22

@rathernotshare no mine are AZ healthcare ones from Amazon.
Really hope you get your BFP

SATCfan · 30/06/2021 11:10

[quote rathernotshare]@SATCfan my boobs feel like lead but that's pretty normal for me, if I get cramps tomorrow I know I'm out as I always get them 1 day before I come on. I think if it doesn't happen this month I'm paying for private tests, it's been 20 months and all I've had is a blood test and he's had a sperm test, GP is refusing to do anything more ☹️[/quote]
Oh I'm so sorry your GP isn't helpful, there's such inconsistency with GPs I think. Oh I hope hope hope your ICs are right and FRER just needs to get a grip and show you a BFP too 🤞🏻🤞🏻

rathernotshare · 30/06/2021 10:55

@T2710 one step, are yours the same?

T2710 · 30/06/2021 10:45

@rathernotshare which brand of cheapies are you using. I think my line is actually darker on the cheapy than on frer this morning
