Testing this week/tww 18th- 26th October

i'm out I think AF arrived... that would have been way too easy if it happened on month one of TTC, putting all the weird symptoms down to birth control hormones. Best of luck ladies fingers crossed for you all!

Dpo what feels like a thousand! I gave in and tested but used a cheap amazon test strip. Result was a vvvvv faint positive so going to test in two days time and hope for the best!
@BritInNZ ah hopefully all these twinges are exactly what we want them to be! ❤

Jumping on here - im due AF on Saturday. I had EWCM about 5DPO (it was weird!) and all of Sunday I felt nauseous and had lower back ache (like muscle spasms in my lower back that still haven't gone two days later). Boobs and nipples are slightly sensitive but nothing out of the ordinary (my boobs are usually agony right from ovulation to AFs arrival!). I'm having some light cramps but again, nothing out of the ordinary before AF arrives. I'm also getting SO hungry but then when I eat I can't finish my food.

I never usually test but I really want to this month 😂 this is the one month I haven't tracked BBT so I think I'm either 8 or 9DPO, so not quite ready to test yet! This is cycle 9 for us, and we're on a countdown now for further investigations in January.

@Decaffe I’m also DPO 12, really bad lower back pains today. So you have my sympathy. I feel like I’ve lived with a hot water bottle attached for a week. Hope she doesn’t come for you this month.

I’m also Insanely thirsty, need to pee, boobs feel weird. Sometimes feel sick. Also starving the last few days at 11pm, like insane can’t sleep hunger despite dinner and snacks. I have bleeding though and it’s lighter than normal AF and not clotting, but i really don’t know if it’s AF come early as it’s a lighter than normal red/pink colour and it’s day 3. Losing my damn mind. Also testing negative but would have been 2.5 days after implantation cramps so not sure. Called my dr and no apts till Wednesday afternoon so this is just great 🤦‍♀️.

@Decaffe it’s not over till AF rears her ugly head…. Stay positive. Sending lots of good luck your way xx

12DPO. Negative tests. Achy lower back as though period is imminent (it’s due Saturday, but I often spot beforehand). Absolutely no CM at all, to the point where it’s almost uncomfortable.

No idea what yesterday evening’s twinges were.

I guess it’s not true that you are more fertile the month after your chemical, or that conceive plus helps you to conceive first time (like it did all of my friends!).

Bugger.

Thank you. Let me know how you get on @madeleine85 x

@Moonshine160 I’m so sorry she came... onto next month, i very may well be joining you. Enjoy a glass of wine and mental relaxation from the guessing game tonight ❤️

Good luck everybody. Unfortunately AF arrived for me this morning annoyingly half an hour after I tested negative!

@Moonshine160 until AF arrives there’s a chance. Im BFN this morning but I felt implantation cramps late Friday night followed by bleeding which is still there but is 100% not my normal period and is almost gone. I think it takes 3-5 days to show positive though so trying to not obsess, and AF shouldn’t be here till Wednesday. Need to set myself up for a real BFN but failing miserably.

So sorry ladies its so disappointing, chin up and onto the next cycle!

I'm due on Saturday but i wont test untill I'm late. I had spotting and slight on cramping 9dpo so we will see.

Im due my next covid jab so im hoping that doesn't cause any issues

@Moonshine160 I’m gutted too. AF came yesterday at the last possible moment. It’s so mentally tough isn’t it. Try to keep your chin up. This will be cycle number 7. Just joined November thread.

Just took a test and BFN :( I’m gutted. Now just waiting for AF which is a day late!

@Decaffe honestly can’t stop crying… yes he was there when I took the digital test. He’s over the moon. We want this so badly and feel incredibly lucky to have this the first time trying.

Just hoping it’s a sticky baby and we see this first trimester through ok.

I found the FRER difficult to ready- clear blue ultra early digital was great (the one with the flashing light on the end)

Sending you all my luck xxxxx

I'm so happy for you @Yayay30! Have you told DH yet?

I know, it does make me wonder! Or could it have just been indigestion and wind?!

Gosh this journey is just a nightmare isn't it, never knowing what to think. I have one FRER left and two arriving tomorrow before 1pm courtesy of Amazon.... decisions decisions!

@Yayay30 congratulations!!!!! That is amazing 🎉🎉🎉🎉❤️❤️

@Decaffe that sounds like implantation pains maybe ?

Got an undisputed BFP tonight at 10dpo with clear blue ultra early digital. Absolutely delighted and can’t stop crying.

Just changed position on the sofa a bit and had another twinge, only once but it was uncomfortable enough to make me stop and go 'ooh'....

Just had a few weird stabbing pains low down, LHS. Probably only lasted a few seconds... hmm?!

Ah that’s great to see @Yayay30! How exciting ☺️

A negative FRER for me today (10dpo) so just going to wait for AF to arrive now.

Interestingly I noticed today that the unused FRERs had faint grey lines straight out of the packet.

@Yayay30 thanks, think it might be AF as getting stronger, but no clots and need to pee constantly. This month has been downright weird. I’m guessing I’m out but let’s see.

Was that a FR test? I read really bad reviews about them with blurred lines and early false positives so I’m very dubious of any I take now and follow the instructions to a T. Hate that the others take forever to detect though (or feels like). Fingers crossed 🤞 for you and the BFP!

Helps if you attach the photo to the comment lol!

@Decaffe how did you get on this morning?

@madeleine85 that sounds promising!! Fingers crossed

@tryingtobeamama that’s exactly how I felt the week of ovulation- still feeling really lethargic (that might just be that I’ve weaned myself off my 5 mugs of strong black coffee per day habit though!)

I tested again this morning - this was a FRER. I also did an easy at home and lines on both are still very faint but getting stronger! I am starting to get, cautiously, excited!

My boobs are absolutely agony this morning too. I don’t normally get that, so taking that as a positive sign.

Sending good luck to you all! Xx

[quote madeleine85]**@Yayay30* congrats!! And @Decaffe* hope tomorrow brings luck your way. I’m pretty certain I’m having implantation bleeding. I just came off the pill so expected a heavy first AF and this isn’t high volume and it’s light pink, I also need to pee constantly, dpo 10 now and felt the implantation cramps yesterday. Guessing I should wait a few days to test though, unless AF arrives after all... The wait never ends 😂🤦‍♀️[/quote]
I had implantation cramps yesterday too! BBT picked up an implantation dip.
I just don't know when to test 🤦🏻‍♀️

So I'm 9 dpo, not starting testing until tomorrow. However my BBT picked up implantation dip yesterday 🙏🏻🤞🏼
