@Glago2017
Did you have any symptoms in the 2 week wait? šŸ˜‚
I can’t help myself

alexalexalex18 · 10/12/2021 14:34

@Glago2017
Congratulations!!!!šŸŽˆšŸ¾ No drinking though šŸ˜‚
Your bfp gives me hope!
Really hoping my pain today was due to implantation. It’s gone now.
Lasted for a few hours

Decaffe · 10/12/2021 14:29

Oh that is fantastic, congratulations! I had a feeling it’d be a strong one! Star

Glago2017 · 10/12/2021 14:25

@Decaffe this is my first time using these so didn't know either. Managed to nip to the shop for the early result tests and bnp!!! I don't quite believe it.

The packaging is ridiculously similar!

Decaffe · 10/12/2021 13:26

I only know because I got stung a month or two ago!

What I don’t understand is, three minutes isn’t exactly long to wait - who is desperate to save two minutes and 15 seconds?! šŸ˜†

@Decaffe I never knew this, always just picked up any first response. Can't wait to get home to see which one I tested with. Hoping it was the less sensitive one so I can try again šŸ¤ž

Decaffe · 10/12/2021 13:02

7dpo here - so hard not testing!!! 😩

Decaffe · 10/12/2021 13:00

Whoops I meant to write:

Wow, the rapid response ones aren’t at all sensitive, so the fact you have quite a clear line there is surely really encouraging?! Can you get a early result one to check?

The rapid response and early result tests are both made by First Response but the packaging is very similar. Which wouldn’t be so bad except sensitivity of the early result is reported to be 6-10iu, whereas rapid response is reported to be 100iu! Hmm

Tor88 · 10/12/2021 12:40

@Glago2017 I can see a second line but verrrry faint, try again tomo but fingers and toes crossed for you!

alexalexalex18 · 10/12/2021 12:39

Ah, so they’re 2 different tests.
I was planning to test with this one the day I miss my period (still have one left from last month).
Is this one ok?
@Cmacq32 what do you use?

@Glago2017

Opinions please? I think I can see something but not sure. This is the rapid response ones that I've seen people say not to use. Also my first time using these so not sure about evap lines. šŸ¤¦ā€ā™€ļø

alexalexalex18 · 10/12/2021 11:49

@Glago2017

I thought everyone says to use these ones, pink dye first response.
I can’t tell if it’s a fine line or indent or evaporation.
Maybe repeat tomorrow?

alexalexalex18 · 10/12/2021 11:47

@Cmacq32
I don’t feel fatigued, don’t have backpain, don’t feel nauseous :(
Trying to keep positive but one more week of
waiting feels unbearable.
I wish conceiving would be more technical and precise, like going to the dentist :))
Well I guess there’s FIV, but it should be free :))

@alexalexalex18 aww man I can tell how much this means to you... To all of us wanting our babies. You've done all you can and hopefully will be this month šŸ¤žšŸ¤žšŸ¤ž

My cramping was just like period pain, a dull twinge but less so than a period. I knew I was pregnant both times way before I got my BFP. I coukd tell from the fatigue as its an abnormal feeling for me. But I tested 11, 12 and 13 days po and only get my positive on 13 so I realised there's no point in worrying about it. I've used the flo app for 3 years so I have great notes from previous pregnancies and logged all my symptoms!

alexalexalex18 · 10/12/2021 10:28

@Cmacq32
where did you feel the cramping with preg. #2?

alexalexalex18 · 10/12/2021 10:26

@Cmacq32
I’ve had crazy dreams for the past 2 nights :))
Woke up with this weird cramp on my lower middle to right side. It’s still there but not as sore, just like a dull ache, kind of radiating towards my very low areas and right ovary.
Was lightheaded yesterday and had some headache the day before.
The thing is I only get cramps before my period and AF should come next friday (hope it doesn’t).
My basal temperature was 36,87 today so still high. No idea what’s happening, def feeling the pain more towards my ovary now.
Starting to get anxious, I really want this month to be the one with a BFP.

@Hayls07
Huge congratulations šŸŽ‰šŸŽ‰šŸŽ‰šŸŽ‰šŸŽ‰šŸ„°šŸ˜šŸ˜˜ super exciting. Hopfully see you on the thread for expecting. Xx

Cmacq32 · 10/12/2021 10:14

@alexalexalex18 not implantation with pregnancies #1 & 3 (my daughter) but implantation bleeding with #2 (it was light cramping and pink diluted CM for a few days after.

I'm 7/8DPO today and I had very light cramping yesterday, I've got a sore head today but I've also had a nightmare night with DD and daddy has buggered off to Glasgow for a Christmas work thing. 😓😓😓
How are you feeling today?

alexalexalex18 · 10/12/2021 10:01

@Hayls07 did you experience implantation pain? if yes, where? :)) and if you had implantation bleeding, when did it appear, the same day or after?

@Cmacq32 did you experience it with your previous pregnancies?

Waldoyle · 10/12/2021 08:08

@frenchie4002 - it's possible. But I definately had very light spotting last Friday night and light cramps for a few hours afterwards which I was convinced was IB. Was feeling nauseous for a few days after that. The nausea has eased but I would have thought if it was IB last week then I should show positive by now. Its very unlike me to be late so all the signs have been there but the bfn is killing me!!

frenchie4002 · 10/12/2021 07:45

@Waldoyle is it possible you ovulated later than you thought?

frenchie4002 · 10/12/2021 07:45

@Hayls07 congratulations that’s so exciting! I am still around time of ovulation I think but no real clue as I had a miscarriage in Oct and 5 weeks between that and my previous period so not sure how long this cycle is. Just having sex often and hoping for the best!
@alexalexalex18 deffo could be fingers crossedšŸ¤ž

Waldoyle · 10/12/2021 07:43

@Hayls07 huge congrats wonderful news for Christmas.

Any advice from anyone. I was due AF two days ago, its been 1 week tonight since I had what I think was implantation bleeding and cramps, still getting bfn though. It is possible hcg would be too low too detect at this stage? Getting so confused šŸ˜•
