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

@vitahelp stay positive lovely! I know it's hard, but we all have to remember that conception is actually a real life miracle and it doesn't happen easily and it can take months to happen. I hear you when you say how disappointed you are starting to feel and how invested you are. I feel the same and struggle to remain positive tbh 💜

@Angie2018 I'm 10 dpo today. Thought I'd feel excited at this stage to be close to finding out one way or the other, but instead I'm just dreading it!

@Cdoc That's so true, I didn't even feel pregnant at this stage with DD, I remember thinking the exact same things that I felt totally fine. But convincing myself this time is different. I think the closer I get I'm scared of getting my hopes up so sort of protecting myself by convincing myself it isn't happening.
Thank you so much and sending lots of hugs back xxx

How many dpo are you lovely? X

@vitahelp I’m sorry you’re feeling like that 😔I don’t think feeling normal rules you out though, think how many women have no idea they are even pregnant until 6 or 7 weeks sometimes! It doesn’t matter how early days it is, when you want something this much it’s a huge deal, so don’t discount how you feel about it.

sending you lots of hugs ♥️

@OCM19 that is a brilliant idea! We do deserve it and we have to take the little things at the moment, anything that makes the day pass a bit better. Sorry that you got a BFN this morning, but 10dpo is definitely still early so please don’t rule yourself out yet 🤞🏼🤞🏼Focusing on what is in your control is a really good idea. Sending you ♥️

I work from home 4 days and go into work 1 day so have decided to go into the office today for a coffee and cake with a friend :) being away from home means I have no tests too so I can’t even be tempted!

@Angie2018 i am feeling a bit more positive today, I think mostly because I’m at work and I know I’ll be distracted most of the day. Working from home is great but it definitely gives you more time to let the mind wander! Let’s do that and throw ourselves into work 🤞🏼Ooh fingers crossed it comes back up tomorrow! Are you 7dpo now? So implantation could be any day? So hopeful for you ♥️

@allgoodthings84 that’s such a difficult situation to be in when you know your partner wants one so much. To be honest I’m sure it is possible to be spotting and pregnant? When I was pregnant last month I did so much googling on spotting and something like 25% of women will spot in early pregnancy so it’s definitely not unheard of!

@calipoppy sorry for your bfn too. Definitely not out until AF arrives but I understand, at least if she does come you’ve eased yourself into it. Definitely try and see the positives, and longer cycles is definitely one of them!

hope you all have a positive day ladies xx

BBT chart attached - not looking good

Morning ladies

@OCM19 @calipoppy I’m sorry to hear about your BFNs today. There is still time for you both yet, I hope the time passes quickly for you.

I’m 10dpo today. After my temporary excitement over a fluttering feeling in my stomach/pelvis yesterday afternoon, I came back down to earth in the evening and was sat in bed thinking how normal I felt and how I can’t possibly be pregnant. I’ve also had a small BBT dip again this morning…I’m still above baseline but it just doesn’t look right for pregnancy, the temps should be higher. I’m almost certain this isn’t my month now. I shouldn’t really be surprised, its my first month trying and second month off birth control so very early days. But I’ve got so invested already and can already feel the disappointment brewing. I thought I would want to test today but not even sure I want to now, might just wait out for AF.

So glad I have you all to speak to and I’m praying there are some BFPs amongst us ❤

It can take 5 days lovely so you aren't out yet!!! Xx

Thanks lovely how are you feeling? X

@OCM19 thanks lovely! It could genuinely mean nothing and the temp drop could again and then I'd be out. I am so sorry with how you are feeling. I totally get it because even though I haven't done a test I still feel disappointed as I am worried I'm not pregnant! It's really hard and I agree keeping busy is the best thing to do! Stay kind to yourself even though I know how hard it is. Just remember some embryos don't implant until day 10 and it then takes a few days for HCG to become detectable xx

@OCM19 I'm 12dpo, so im sure I would have seen something by now!
I had really sharp cramps on Saturday which I convinced myself was implantation so obviously now googling how long it takes for HCG to rise 😅

@calipoppy thank you and sorry to hear yours was a BFN as well 😞 I agree, would rather get it out of my mind that second guess everything. How are you feeling? How many DPO are you again? Xx

@Angie2018 just read you don’t have sore boobs either, keeping my fingers crossed for you 🤞

tbh, I feel a bit overwhelmed this morning. I fully expected expected it to be negative, but it doesn’t stop the disappointment. I would rather test though so I can gear myself up for my af arriving. I’m also going to try to just crack on and not Google anything today!

sending you all lots of love at this difficult time xx

@OCM19 sorry to hear that! It is still early but I know that it feels easier to assume the worst than to keep hopes high. I tested again this morning too, BFN - I've decided I would rather just test every day so that I don't spend the day hopeful and symptom spotting! Pretty sure AF will be here by the end of the week, but at least that means my cycles are getting a bit longer so I'm just looking at the positives! (And another month of summer I can enjoy before feeling sick!)

Morning lovely! Sorry about your BFN however it is still major early! I've had an 0.3 temp drop today, so if it shoots back up tomo that could be something. Now il be waiting frantically for tomorrow morning 🤣 are you ok? X

@Cdoc morning! How are you today? I feel a bit better this morning and I am going to throw myself into work to keep occupied, and I have a busy day with work and the dogs and the horse and a back appointment so it should be too full on for Google! I've had a temp dip by 0.3 today so if it goes up tomorrow then could be the sign of an implantation dip. If it goes down I am out! AF due in 5 days, I would DEFO have sore boobs by now. All very odd... xx

I think this is a fab idea!! 💜💜💜

@Tubbytele morning! How are you today? Yes I totally agree with you, Googling is the worst and isn't helpful!! I'm going to try to busy myself today for sure!! X

@allgoodthings84 @calipoppy they are lovely things to do 🥰 I caved and tested earlier, BFN at 10dpo, I know it’s still early. My cramps have been very noticeable this morning so think af is on her way.

I am going to try and focus on the things that are in my control today. I hope everyone else is doing ok. Xx

@OCM19 that's such a nice idea, I love this group it's so supportive and uplifting 🥰

I want to steal your idea but instead, tomorrow I'm going to buy myself a magazine which I never do anymore, and read it while my husband does bedtime instead of manically tidying the house like I normally do! 🙏 little things eh!
