Anyone else due to test around 30th June/1st July?

I’m now 3dpo and trying to feel positive. My OPK peak times up with when I had EWCM and I’m sure I had some ovulation pain on Thursday. I’ve never realised it before now but I nearly always have a pain for a few hours in between AF’s so guess I nearly always have it but never paid any attention to what is was or why. Even though the timings all line up I still have a fear that I ovulated much later and missed dtd at the right time. I know it’s irrational 😂

I did the Clear Blue 6 days early this morning and got a 2nd line, so now got 4 different test positives.
also did the Clear Blue Digital which was negative, but I can only test that earliest on Friday, so don’t know what I was expecting.🤪😄
fingers crossed on Friday it will say Pregnant 🤞🤞🤞otherwise it doesn’t seem real unless it’s written out in English 😩

AF here for me too, I really thought I was ready for it but I'm feeling so emotional. I'm just so desperate to be pregnant by my due date but realistically I only have 2 chances now so I think it's starting to sink in that I might have to face not being pregnant by then. 💔

Good luck to the rest of you and huge fingers crossed @OCM19 xxx

AF is here but she’s creeping in 😂 my spotting is now coming out onto the liner and is normal period colour. It’s not filling the liner yet but give it until this evening and will be normal AF I think. I’m relieved now as I’ve known since Saturday that it’s coming so at least I can get it out of the way and see how the timing works gif ttc next cycle. I won’t bother with the 2ww though as I might not even hit the right time and won’t know

I hope everyone is having a good day?

Good luck everyone. Sorry I haven't checked in for a while DS was off school with a bug. I'm so excited for everyone this week!
I have lost all hope! No AF yet, I expect it'll arrive tomorrow but the gut feeling is I'm out for this cycle.

10dpo- usually I have a 11-12day LP

Tubbytele · 29/06/2022 08:51

@vitahelp sorry to hear you're not feeling great, try to take it easy today if you can and rest up. Sending you a hug!

Tubbytele · 29/06/2022 08:50

Morning everyone.

@OCM19 oooh, this is so exciting! Can't wait for your results when you test next.

@allgoodthings84 lol I knew something was up with my iron when I started craving red bull, which I never drank. Turned out my iron was at its lowest levels.

@BlondePotter I'm feeling exactly like you. Am 9dpo today if I take the 2nd surge I had into account and I'm just hoping that implantation takes place if it hasn't already. But part of me feels like I'm wishful thinking as I'm not sure if we dtd at right time for that 2nd surge or if ovulation even took place in the end.

vitahelp · 29/06/2022 08:07

@OCM19 Oh wow that's so exciting! Really hoping the line has developed next time you test! Excited for you 😀

I tested last night (Morisons cheap test) and got BFN (10 dpo). Obviously I've been googling reliability of tests at 10dpo ever since! Not feeling hopeful though, not feeling pregnant and just not got a good gut feeling.
I've woken up feeling rough but people in my office and DH are all ill so I know it isn't TTC related.

Oh wow @OCM19 fingers crossed for a darker line Friday! I’m excited for you

OCM19 · 29/06/2022 07:17

@BlondePotter I agree, I think 9DPO is a common day for implantation. I keep looking at my test and doubting myself now...just a waiting game to see if it gets more visible. What symptoms have you got? xx

BlondePotter · 29/06/2022 07:09

@OCM19 thank you, I'm clinging on to someone saying 9dpo was most common day for implantation right now!
Ah I really hope it's a good strong line for you on Friday 🤞🤞

OCM19 · 29/06/2022 06:55

@BlondePotter I've tried😅I will re-test on Friday as I don't want to get my hopes up too much incase, but it showed up in the time-frame. There is no way my cheapies would have picked this up, so please don't feel sad, you're not out yet. I know it's easier said than done, I also did a cheapie at 9DPO and it was stark white. I am keeping my fingers crossed for you 😘I have noticeable cramping again this morning but it's mummy and DS son day today so am going to try and have the best day with him and try not to over-think everything...although I may have already worked out my due date if I am pregnant 😂 xx

BlondePotter · 29/06/2022 06:45

@OCM19 as close to natural light as you can get, maybe go outside

BlondePotter · 29/06/2022 06:44

@OCM19 I'm awake! Post it 😀

Why am I so silly to do a cheapie test at 8/9dpo 🤦🏼‍♀️ obviously stark white and now I feel sad lol

OCM19 · 29/06/2022 06:11

Is anyone awake? I’ve just taken a FRER and there is a vvvfl, I’ve tried to take a pic but can’t get the right lighting. Omg, might this be happening? Xx

@Tubbytele I’ve just been taking vit c and folic acid. That’s why I was thinking these might be good as they have the vitamin D and folic acid in there too. I took the pregnacare when I was pregnant with my daughter and I didn’t get on with them at all. I wish things could be simple ha ha. I remember after the b12 shots I would feel so energised after and for the first couple weeks after each one lost weight mega easily 😂 I used to like them for that alone ha ha

Tubbytele · 28/06/2022 22:29

@allgoodthings84 yea I'm the same with tablets. The part where you wrote "I’m not very good at looking after myself just everyone else" really resonated with me. As women we look after everybody else and often forget to look after own selves in the process. And then feel guilty when do! Are you taking any conception tablets? Before we conceived DS, DH and I were taking the pregnacare him and her conception tablets and now I'm taking the pregnacare breastfeeding tablets until I continue BF DS (or when I actually remember to take them!) My vit d was very low recently but been taking extra tablets for that. I remember having those B12 shots, I found them really painful! I hope you manage to get better sleep tonight.

@OCM19 I’m wishing you all the luck in the world

@Tubbytele if these vitamins don’t work I’ll ask if I can have blood tests done. I think a lot of the reason that I’m tired is because my sleep is awful. I know this from my Fitbit. I’ve never been able to sleep well. I used to have a B12 deficiency. had the injections every 12 weeks for 4 years until my stores were built up then was meant to make sure I get enough B12 so these vitamins definitely won’t do any harm. To be honest I should probably have been taking them anyway but I’m not very good at looking after myself just everyone else. I forget daily tablets but maybe need to make it routine

@newgal Welcome! Sorry to not be much of a help with pcos info but I have endometriosis and did have an endometrioma from my left ovary removed a few years back.

newgal · 28/06/2022 22:11

@allgoodthings84 Depending on what happens this month would definitely be up for the next thread! Haven’t tracked opk before but would be trying that out next time.

@havanamama congratulations!

also have pcos so uncertain how much of an effect that will have 💭 not sure if others in this group have experience of this

Tubbytele · 28/06/2022 22:09

@allgoodthings84 how are you doing? Have you checked your iron levels and vit d for the tiredness? My iron levels were extremely low when I was going through fatigue.

Tubbytele · 28/06/2022 22:07

@OCM19 sending you a hug from here! I know it's hard but you're doing amazing and I'm hopeful that you will have your bfp soon

Tubbytele · 28/06/2022 22:04

Hi everyone, just catching up now on today's messages. Sorry those that got BFN, you're not out til AF shows so don't count yourselves out yet!

@Angie2018 hello! I'm good thanks, trying to stay occupied as much as possible. DS keeps me really busy and work is manic too which is good I guess. How was your day today? Did you manage to stay away from googling? :)

@havanamama congratulations!! Those lines look great!! Excited for you!

Cdoc · 28/06/2022 21:48

Hello ladies, just catching up on everything.

How is everyone doing? Another dpo down!

@havanamama congratulations on your bfp! That’s so exciting ✨✨such a positive story for the evening to read!

I can’t believe tomorrow is 13dpo 🙈still no real symptoms, maybe a bit of light cramping and weirdly I’m all of a sudden more aware of my nipples (they don’t hurt and they’re not bigger).

@OCM19 good luck for your FRER tomorrow 🤞🏼🤞🏼Will be keeping everything crossed for you 🤞🏼It must be hard to see your brothers post, as happy for him as you will be it’s still not easy.

Sorry @CinderellaFant for your bfn 😔😔

hope everyone is feeling ok. Feels like we need a lot of positive vibes in this group tonight ♥️♥️

OCM19 · 28/06/2022 21:46

I’m over the moon for them, I truly am. They told me the day my last period arrived so I was already emotional 😂

aww bless you, I agree it’s probably best to just forget the OPK’s and see what happens, you never know!

my cramps have been very noticeable today so think af may arrive Friday, but I will still test tomorrow. 🤞🤞 xx
