@ElleBelleLou so sorry to hear about your MC ❤️ how interesting that your friend predicted that about Feb and May, particularly that specific date being when AF would be late - I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you!
I can't see an image on your last post? X

Hi everyone

Hope you don't mind me joining!

Long story, I have a psychic friend who told me before Christmas that February and May would be significant months.

In February I found out I was pregnant (trying to conceive my first baby), but sadly miscarried at 6 weeks in March.

A few weeks ago my friend told me 15th May - it would be significant.

15th May is the day my period would officially be late - so who knows Halo

I'm 7DPO today so very early, way too early to test really but after some nausea this morning I couldn't stop myself.

Anyone see anything? I know I'm going against the title here but really I should be waiting to test around 14th May Grin

Thank you @41andtryingforfirst! Hope you have better restraint than me haha! X

41andtryingforfirst · 05/05/2022 19:35

@S0220 no worries! 😂😂😂. This is so exciting my fingers are crossed 🤞 xx

@41andtryingforfirst thanks! My husband is out buying some more so I think I'll hold of on testing again until the weekend. Also totally just realised I went entirely against the name of this thread 😂😂 my bad!!

41andtryingforfirst · 05/05/2022 19:26

@S0220 I can see a line!

Ahh bless you @41andtryingforfirst that's really helpful. I knew myself it was way too early and the minute I peed on it I regretted it!!

Although... having said that, I've just had another look at the test and I can suddenly see the faintest of lines?! It's taken longer than the expected time though. What does everyone think? Or is it an indent? 🤷🏽‍♀️ it's got the slightest hint of pink in it...

@S0220 I've got some screen shots that explain why some people get early BFPs and others don't. It's all about your usual HCG level (everyone including men have a level between 1-5). If you are a 5 then pregnancy tests pick it up pregnancy much quicker. Let me find it and I'll post it on here

@S0220 that's ok don't feel down though - it is super early!! I just find that if I get a BFN I feel disheartened and depressed and I want to try and hold on to a tiny bit of hope! X

S0220 · 05/05/2022 18:56

@41andtryingforfirst I've already failed 😔😔😔 caved today at 9dpo (early this evening - don't know what came over me) and got a BFN 👎🏽 really mad at myself for doing it because now I just feel gutted.

41andtryingforfirst · 05/05/2022 18:51

Right people I think we should make a pact and do no POAS until..., um.... what's reasonable? 2 days b4 AF is due? Im 6dpo and already getting jittery. I have one FRER and then a load of cheapies left and don't intend on using the FRER unless AF is late. Anyone with me? X

Hey all, had super busy day today so thankfully wasn't obsessing over symptom spotting but at the same time I really don't feel anything at all today. BUT I am 8DPO and I've never made it this far before!! I'm delighted. If AF holds off I won't test until Sunday at 11DPO I think but I'm not expecting anything. Still having the weird CM!

S0220 · 05/05/2022 16:21

I will have to keep you all posted! Really reassuring to know others have heard of this/experienced this.

@JaneGnR88 sorry to hear about your CP ❤️

JaneGnR88 · 05/05/2022 15:00

@andpeggy1 LOVE your username and wishing you all the luck ✨✨✨

andpeggy1 · 05/05/2022 14:54

Af due on between wed 10th n sun 15th. Fingers crossed I get a sticky one this time after a MC in December and a chemical pregnancy last month. Hoping a lovely abroad holiday will do the sticky trick! Still ttc for our first since Feb last year 😢

JaneGnR88 · 05/05/2022 10:43

@S0220 does sound promising! I feel pregnant back in December (unfortunately a CP) but I got some bright red blood before I got my BFP!

I’ve been getting cramps and pains on and off but these are pretty common to me due to my pcos symptoms so not holding out much hope, I’d love a period at this point if it’s not my month as I haven’t had one since March 😣

Cat2hop · 05/05/2022 10:18

My AF is due in 4 days. Keeping fingers crossed! Not sure how confident I am.
I'm pretty sure caffeine is totally safe...I drink to survive and def wouldn't forgo 🍫

LemonZestDribbles · 05/05/2022 10:03

@S0220 not experienced personally but I have read about the cervix being really sensitive if you are. Eeek 🤞🤞🤞🤞

@Amber17 enjoy everything now while you can. I'm sure that there's no harm as the egg isn't nestled in with a cord yet. I was so worried about coffee and chocolate (who knew chocolate had caffeine) then I got pregnant with ds and it all tasted disgusting anyway 😅 I'm chonking down the chocolate while I can

@catlady10 I'd be terrified buying tests in front of people! I'm a discreet amazon packaging kind of gal 🤣

@Fifi1086 sounds promising!!

@Thestoppedfan welcome! That does sound promising too

I'm 3/4dpo today. Having a cm issue today - tmi but so soggy 😬 trying not to symptom spot as shouldn't be noticing anything yet

S0220 · 05/05/2022 08:57

9dpo today!

Pretty certain I had implantation spotting yesterday afternoon.

Although kind of anxious as hubby and I DTD last night, when I got up to walk to the bathroom, I bled bright red blood which has never ever happened to me before. Put in a tampon in case AF was coming early. But woke up this morning to almost nothing? No further bleeding. AF isn't due until another 6 days. It was bright bright red so assuming it wasn't remaining implantation blood? The implantation spotting I had during the day was a light pink speck.

I read on a few other threads that the cervix can become irritated after possible conception and this could be the cause of the bleeding after sex. Does anybody have any experience of this at all?!

Amber17 · 05/05/2022 08:22

6DPO today. Going away for work so will be well away from any tests til 9DPO!

Thanks for the reassurance about the caffeine/alcohol. It’s weird cos I know it’s fine and was planning to be pretty chill about it, but TWW started and I was like if I get a BFN and I’ve been drinking etc as usual I’ll only blame myself!

catlady10 · 05/05/2022 08:01

Welcome @Thestoppedfan 😃

I've heard of other people getting breathless in early pregnancy! Keep us posted 🥰

Good job for staff discount 🤣

How is everyone today? Xx

Thestoppedfan · 04/05/2022 21:48

I’m a bit late to the party but please can I join? I’m 7 or 8dpo, I got a smiley face for 2 days so not sure which. I’ve POAS twice. DP thinks I have lost the plot!

@catlady10 I would have to remortgage I think if I worked somewhere that sells them!

The only symptom I have (and I’m not sure if it’s even a thing!) is that my last 2 workouts I have really struggled with. Today I felt a bit dizzy during the tougher part and had to have a minute to take a breather which isn’t really like me!

catlady10 · 04/05/2022 20:26

@Fifi1086 You'll have to keep us posted!!

@Cat2hop that's so interesting! my boobs are tiny so I feel like it would be obvious if mine got bigger 🍉 👀
