Testing around 14th May

@JaneGnR88 AF is due for me on Wednesday! I can definitely feel it creeping up on me. And I'm doing the same with my boobs 😂😂 I keep copping a feel and giving them a little jiggle just to assess the situation! The things we women do when TTC hey 🤣

Oh wow @Cat2hop CONGRATULATIONS! Lovely strong line 😍

@S0220 I’ve had cramps on and off for the last few days, always feels like AF is going to come but she’s not here yet, so frustrating! My
boobs are still tender but I also keep grabbing them to check which can’t help 😂

@Chlo1995 fingers crossed for you 🤞🏽

@Cat2hop oh how wonderful! Massive congratulations to you. What a lovely strong line too 🥰

Unfortunately ladies I've been having AF cramps and my boobs aren't as sore today so I do feel that AF is on the way. I'm preparing myself to be out for this cycle and will be gearing myself up for the next!

It is 😔 I’m holding out for Saturday, or trying to, when I will be 12dpo and will use FMU

im having a few symptoms that I had last time I was pregnant (dizziness when I stand up, cramping/squeezing feeling, emotional) but trying to stay realistic.

fingers crossed for us both. It would be a lovely surprise for the weekend.

@Cat2hop congratulations!👶🏼

I also caved and tested this morning and absolutely certain I see lines on all 3 tests but they’re so faint that I’ve posted in other places and nobody can really see them!

I obviously sent them to my bestfriend and she sees them ever so slightly so here’s hoping! We’re on cycle 13 of ttc so it’d be amazing for it to of finally happened for us😬🤞🏼x

Oh wow! And a lovely strong line! Congrats 🥳

So...I caved. It's a BFP!! Only took us 9 months ☺️ Just have to try to not get too excited as we did have a chemical in Feb at cd 35 and I'm cd 29 today.
Hoping for lots of happy news for everyone 🤞🤞🤞

@LemonZestDribbles @catlady10 I'm definitely in a hopes up but scared to check zone. AF due today and no sign 🎉 - although last cycle I thought exactly the same, woke up optimistic but had it at lunchtime.
Currently I have some thrush (tmi) which I'm taking as a good sign thanks hormonal changes.
But I'm too afraid to burst my hopeful bubble with a test... Holding out a few more days 😬

@Oystercatcher my dream was taking a test and seeing these blazing two lines, then I went to tell my friend who (in the dream) had just got the same and we were going to be due the same day. The friend in question has a 4 week old baby so not sure they'd like to be pregnant 😬 I think it's hard not to dream about it when it's so much in our minds. Hoping it's a sign for both of us ❤ sorry about your loss ❤

@Organictangerine I'm thinking maybe Wednesday if I'm feeling hopeful. If not it will be Saturday after my dh gets back from his business trip. When you thinking? It feels like the slowest cycle ever doesn't it? 😬

@IsThisRealLife12 so sorry about your loss. Here's to a bfp this cycle

@Chlo1995 ooohh 🤞🤞🤞🤞

Hi @IsThisRealLife12 welcome! Wishing you all the best and baby dust✨✨✨

Hello all, thankful to have found this thread.

About me:
41
Miscarriage in March (got married March 12th, started miscarrying March 19th).
Normal period in 16th April.
Ovulated 29th April.
Period due on 14th May - hoping for a BFP.
Sending love, light and even more love to everyone :)

@JaneGnR88 thank you🤞🏼It’s all an absolutely minefield isn’t it😂

Wishing you all the luck @Chlo1995 ! I have heard that early symptoms are so much like AF so it’s so hard to tell! Not long left to wait now ✨✨✨

Well after telling myself I wouldn’t get my hopes up, I have gotten my hopes up😬

Just been for a shower and had a load of ewcm, which is quite unusual for me at this point! I’m still cramping a lot though which is making me think it’s definitely af and wondering if I have actually had ewcm at this point in my cycle and have never really noticed🤔 time will tell!!x

@LemonZestDribbles thank you! Hoping for a nice bright line tomorrow 🙈 I'm feeling tired and achy boobs now so hopefully little embryo is settling 🙏

@Oystercatcher its madness isn’t it, I think it’s all just a lot, I had a scan done for my pcos this week too and it was very unhelpful and the sonographer wasn’t a fertility expert so all they could tell me was no cysts and large ovaries (which if I ovulated when I think I did could be normal)

The vivid dreams got me last time I was pregnant too! Every night it was like watching a film! My mum also had them!

My cramps are back today, very dull and sore back, boobs are sore but could be AF (I wouldn’t be mad at this, I just want SOMETHING!) 😪

Hi lemon, I’m cycle twins with you, which day are you planning on testing? I just want to know now (which I acknowledge is hugely impatient given this is cycle 1!)

Last month I got a positive, but ended fairly quickly in CP/MC at 5 weeks.

@Chlo1995 @LemonZestDribbles Last month I didn't have any symptoms except notable lack of PMS and two dreams I was pregnant a few days after ovulation. The PMS is usually quite intense for me, the absence of PMS is when by DH said he knew I was pregnant.

I am not sure when I ovulated/if I did with the MC, but assuming everything went back to normal I am a few DPO and last night I had another dream I was pregnant. @LemonZestDribbles what was your dream if you don't mind me asking? Last month I dreamed that my breasts were leaking in public! Last night it was that I gave birth, but couldn't bring my baby home because I didn't have a car seat.

@JaneGnR88 I feel you with all the hormones... This past few months have been a rollercoaster and I have frequently found myself bursting into tears, when I am really not that sad about anything! Sometimes its like my body has been taken over by a hormone zombie.

@Rosegold3112 It’s honestly so disheartening isn’t it, I’m definitely going to try and hold off and see if af comes, I’ve only 3 days until I’m due so I’m hoping I don’t cave before then! I just don’t want to get my hopes up.

I’ve definite got all my usual pre af symptoms though so I’m not holding out much hope really!

Baby dust to everyone xx

Happy Sunday everyone! How is everyone?

I'm 6/7dpo today. Had a dream that I got a massive bfp so feeling a bit miserable now. I seem to have all my normal week before af symptoms and didn't have any of the little flutters yesterday. Will see what the next few days bring🤷🏻‍♀️

@MrsGrealish congratulations!!!

@41andtryingforfirst thank you 🥰 it's a faint clear blue at 10 dpo I'll do another tomorrow and hoping for a better line 😊 honestly zero symptoms bar minor achy boobs but nothing like AF.

Baby dust for you my lovely 😘

@LemonZestDribbles its so hard not to notice every little twinge isn't it? I had some faint cramps yesterday but all good today. I'm 7dpo today and last cycle at this point I started getting on and off spotting. I've been having early spotting since Oct every cycle so I'm intrigued to see what's gonna happen this time. It's being investigated now so probably going to settle completely so I just seem like a hypochondriac 🙈

@Chlo1995 aww I feel your pain! I've had evaps every single month and it just fuels my hope and makes me buy more tests! I vote the companies that make the tests need to do more research into evaps and indents and come up with some better tests as it just adds so much to the heartbreak every time. Sending you love and baby dust!

Hope everyone is good today!

@catlady10 I was on the last month testing group, had all the symptoms and this month had zero symptoms. I tested positive yesterday xx
