TESTING TRAIN!! Who else is with me?

155 replies

So I'm looking for ladies who are nearing the end of their cycle, will be testing soon, and want to support each other!😁

As an intro: Hi! Im 23 and on month 2 of TTC #1, I'm currently on CD30 of a 32 day cycle. Exciting things to note for this month are that on CD27 I experienced a gush of bright red blood and have had nothing else since so I'm thinking this could be implantation! Also, for the past 2 days my cervix has been high and soft so I'm taking this as a very good sign!

How is everyone else doing?😁

@hereforthefood we shall see! We are supposed to just be ‘seeing how it goes’ until after Xmas but I’m already turning into a crazy person 😂

@maggiegary wow! That is a very strong line! I have everything crossed for you. How are you feeling?

@hereforthefood @PinkFizz1 this was taken just now, line showed up instantly 😩 so confused!

@PinkFizz1 I haven't really got proper EWCM yet annoyingly so can't be super helpful, however, I believe that you get a few days of it then you ovulate on the last day, so maybe you're further along that you think! Saying that, I usually get a bit of stretchy CM right before AF (I got it on Wednesday so was expecting AF afterwards but nothing came) so maybe this is your first bleed?

I could be way off. It’s probably my withdrawal. I’m just wishful thinking I suppose.

PinkFizz1 · 15/10/2021 12:57

@hereforthefood I have NO idea! I’ve not ovulated in 12 years so this is all new to me. I’ve been waiting on my withdrawal bleed from coming off the pill since 19th September but discovered the EWCM last week and Sunday so presumed (probably wrongly, like I say I’m new to all this!) that would mean I would be ovulating 2 days later? Just going on what I’ve read online. So between Saturday - Tuesday just gone could have been ovulation. DTD loads around this time so I’m probably just wishful thinking!

I’m stuck in limbo either waiting for my first withdrawal bleed to get my cycles back OR a BFP! 😩

@maggiegary ah, then maybe not so positive... I'd be chasing up the doctor's every day until they give you your results tbh. Especially with previous MC's on the cards

@PinkFizz1 no sign of AF yet! I'm a week late today and on CD40 with a negative FRER yesterday so quite concerned now...
My cervix has been medium-high and soft since the first of October... No idea what that's about! I'm going out drinking tonight (planned at the beginning of October and figured I'd know by now🙄🙄) so am tempted to take another test ~just in case~ but not expecting anything tbh and really don't want to use my last FRER for nothing :///
How many DPO are you? If you only ovulated (this???) Tuesday then it shouldn't be a withdrawal bleed yet! But also probably too early for implantation🤔 maybe it's an ovulation bleed?

maggiegary · 15/10/2021 12:36

@PinkFizz1 🤞🤞

PinkFizz1 · 15/10/2021 12:30

@Mrslight I would wait a couple of days and test again 🤞🏼 Good luck.

@maggiegary hopefully you get your results today.. a WEEK?! That’s ridiculous. Hopefully she was mistaken.

@hereforthefood any sign of AF yet? How many days late are you?

Little update from me, I’m guessing (and could be completely wrong here) as I had some EWCM last Thursday and Sunday, that Tuesday may have been ovulation day? Roughly? Anyway, I had some pains in my side overnight. Today upon wiping I have the tiniest bit of brown on the paper (TMI sorry)

So! This is either the start of my withdrawal bleed OR maybe..possibly..could be.. implantation?! 🤞🏼

maggiegary · 15/10/2021 11:50

@hereforthefood last month I had a chemical and the bleeding been pretty much the same I guess? It wasnt overly heavy or at all painful and I got a positive on a digital and started bleeding the day after!
I'm going to have to suck it up and get some better tests I think!

hereforthefood · 15/10/2021 11:27

@Mrslight hellooooo! 10dpo is definitely early, 9dpo is the most common day for implantation so you probably wouldn't get a positive test for a few days yet! Do you think you're pregnant?Smile

@maggiegary aren't chemical pregnancy bleeds meant to be quite long and heavy though? I always assumed that because the lining of the womb has had a few days to build up even more than it normally would then you'd have more to... Ahem... Expel shudders If your bleed was only light then I'd say you're still in the game! Plus, CP's don't usually last until they can be seen on a digital!

OP posts:
maggiegary · 15/10/2021 10:55

@hereforthefood I know! I feel like I'm being let down! I know that there's a good chance it was a chemical and the bleeding was af and I would accept it if the digital was negative and if those bloody cheapies weren't still slightly positive! I already knew I was pregnant and they were barely visible but even this morning it was quite obviously there!

@Mrslight you have plenty of time for that BFP

Mrslight · 15/10/2021 10:43

Annoyingly my frer had a very visible colorless indent in it before I even peed on it. I checked before peeing as I had an upsetting experience last cycle when all frers I took gave me a very faint line which was just an evap/indent line, just gave me huge hope for a couple of days

Mrslight · 15/10/2021 10:40

Test for the first time with frer 10 dpo today - bfn 😔 I know there is still a big chance, but it definitely took away some piece of hope

@maggiegary sounds like the digi was bang on then, very good sign!Grin

A week?!?! You'd probably have your answer in tests or AF by then anyway!!! What a bloody joke!!

OP posts:
maggiegary · 15/10/2021 10:20

@hereforthefood the nurse yesterday said results last night or today, when I rang last night to check the receptionist said it would be a week!
I can for the life of me remember when I ovulated but I think I should be just over 2 weeks from ovulation.

@maggiegary Is that accurate for how far along you're expecting to be? I really hope everything is okay for you. Will you be getting your results today?

OP posts:
maggiegary · 15/10/2021 08:54

@hereforthefood I forgot to say I did one yesterday morning and it said 1-2 weeks 🤷‍♀️

@toadstool32 can't move onwards until I get AF😭 just stuck in limbo with no idea what's going on!

@maggiegary they only seem to do this when we need them to be normal! Maybe try and do a digital and see what it says?

OP posts:
maggiegary · 14/10/2021 17:53

@hereforthefood I'm sorry 😞 hopefully things will sort themselves out soon. Have you had the covid vaccine? I've heard that can mess with your cycle.

I've stopped bleeding only very slightly pink when I wipe now (TMI). I'm still getting positives that aren't getting darker or lighter! Why are our bodies like this?!

TESTING TRAIN!! Who else is with me?
toadstool32 · 14/10/2021 15:55

Onwards and upwards for next month op Thanks

@sak96x BFNSad another faint indent on a FRER which I'm not pleased with tbh. It initially had some colour too which really threw me for a loop but now it's settled into nothing. Really unsure what's going on with my body tbh and only got one FRER left. Might wait another week before testing again if AF doesn't show up soon :/

OP posts:
sak96x · 14/10/2021 11:46

I think that it looks promising and that you should test! @hereforthefood x

@maggiegary fingers crossed everything comes back normal!

I'm now 13dpo (I think) with potential implantation on 9dpo. I've been reading about so many women testing positive on 13dpo and it's taking everything in me not to test! I don't want to waste my second to last test too early and I've also already been to the loo today (although not since 9am ish) - what do we think ladies? Should I test or wait?

OP posts:
maggiegary · 14/10/2021 11:04

@hereforthefood yes they're the control lines 🙈

Ive had a blood test with the nurse so we will see what that says soon

hereforthefood · 14/10/2021 08:44

So I've just looked at this again and I think I got confused, the really dark line isn't the test line, it's the control line, right? In that case your lines are still good @maggiegary, but I'd definitely be badgering the doctors until they checked you out, what time is your appointment today?
