Is this the start of BFP?

Has anyone had similar on one step tests?

Both tests taken today with FMU. Shadows/vvvfl visible within timeframe, more obvious now dried but for sure could be indents as I know these tests can be dodgy.

Same tests in pack I got were all stark white until today. AF either one day late or due in 4 days (not sure when ovulated, been a weird cycle!)

Thanks

Omg amazing @TheCuriouscakedecorator !! Congrats! ✨

@Angie2018 oh bless you, you've done everything you can do to facilitate a BFP this cycle!

It's okay to feel sad, but please don't count yourself as out when you could be having a little fertilised egg making it's way to its new home as we speak! 🤞🏼

If it makes you feel any better - I had sore boobs prior to BFP a few years ago, but with my chemical I had no boob pain, don't let it convince you you're not as every pregnancy is different xx

Ooh I'll download it now! Hopefully can plot back my previous cycles and it'll try and make sense of the stuff I've written all over Flo 🤣 yes very true!! Think I BD'd about three times the usual amount this cycle haha

Update: still thinking BFN on FRER today - thought I saw a shadow but really it could just be an indent so will keep plodding on/testing until BFP or AF!

Ah thanks @TheCuriouscakedecorator !! Good luck with your pregnancy 💜

@Salcal I am just convincing myself already I am out this month already at 3dpo and getting sad.... why do I do this!! I feel so invested in this cycle after doing everything right & the chemical last month....

Nausea could be a good sign too!! I feel nothing, other than grabbing my boobs constantly to see if they hurt. Last month they didn't as I had a chemical. It's the only month I didn't have sore boobs after ovulation. So now I feel like if I have sore boobs this month I am out! Last month I had rather than a full ache in my boobs I had like the odd shooting pain to my nipple and that was it.

Yeah I use natural cycles! I love it!

Thank you, I am glad I have managed to find a way to keep me calm... ish 🤣

EWCM is a good way to track fertility as it's your bodies natural way of saying have sex an egg is coming 🤣🤣

Praying this thread is full of BFPs this month!!! Xx

@TheCuriouscakedecorator how amazing! Gives me hope and makes me so pleased for you, please keep us posted!! ✨ maybe if it ends up BFP for all of us this month, we could make a little thread on the early preg forum?
Thank you! Feeling positive and relaxed at the minute xx

@Angie2018 as do I! I forgot to mention r.e symptoms - nausea around this time of day since about 5 days ago.

Oh that does sound fab, did you say you use an app to track these?? I use Flo but it's so hit and miss I've found, definitely normally ovulate later than their predicted window and I have fairly long cycles. I'm so glad you've found something that works for you and makes you feel in control.

Yes I normally get EWCM and typical cervical position when fertile and had been using that previously but this month has been a bit wild r.e CM 🤣 think it might be related to the chemical last month though.

Oh bless you both, sorry you've had such a rubbish time. Cycle 3 for us xx

Angie2018 · 24/06/2022 10:21

@Salcal yes exactly we all know our bodies and know when something is up!! I certainly do!!

Fingers crossed we are manifesting March babies 🥰🥰🥰

Defo start BBT tracking if you can it's really good and helpful. I personally find using OPKs and tracking BBT and doing SMEP this month has made me less stressed. I feel like I am able to control those things and act on them, so I know I've done everything can this month and that's all I can do. The months I've not tracked anything and just DTD in my fertile window (other than last month) it hasn't worked. And I've been stressed and felt pressure as I've been worried I don't know what my body is doing. I have always known when I am fertile because of the EWCM but I was never sure if my one sided pain meant I'm ovulating, ovulated or to ovulate and I used to worry I'd missed the boat.

This is cycle 6 for us... had two months in that we can't count because we had serious Covid and it's screwed with both of us. We did have a chemical last month. So I'd say it's month 3 / 4 really xx

@TheCuriouscakedecorator omg!! I see a faint line!! Does it have colour to it? ✨🤞🏼

@Angie2018 for sure, as much as we May symptom spot - I'd like to think we know our own bodies pretty well.

Eeek! hopefully🤞🏼 that plus good feelings about Match 23, hopefully it's manifesting xx

Oh that's fab, maybe I'll start doing the same then. I've been avoiding opks as that plus my POAS addiction will result in me being broke each month (and probably send myself and OH off the deep end 🤣)

How long have you been ttc for? Sorry being nosy now! X

@Salcal I think sometimes if you have a hunch it can turn out to be correct! That's what I am telling myself!

My acupuncturist also said she wanted to try something different with me this week as she just had a gut feeling.... so I hope it's a sign!!

Yes I do temp everyday, this is my first cycle as it's been brilliant for me as i know to the hour when I ovulated which meant I could fit it another DTD the morning after within the 24 hour window.

It's easy, just leave the thermometer next to your phone at night, when you open your eyes stick it in your mouth and then record the reading on your app. I use natural cycles.

I know Covid is rank! I hope I don't get it again for a while I will be distraught if it interferes with TTC or pregnancy!

You too!! X

Salcal · 24/06/2022 08:24

We shall see! likelihood is that they're just weird symptoms I'm getting this month sadly

Weird how we both do!! If not BFP maybe we will both win the lottery or something 🤣

Ooh yes good idea!! I should really start temping but I think I'd be useless at remembering! Do you temp throughout your cycle?

It's a nightmare! Weird how covid as a whole messed up so many peoples cycles, we are not the only people who had it happen and it was quite stressful.

Hope your TWW goes quickly

OP posts:
Angie2018 · 23/06/2022 22:23

@Salcal ah your symptoms do sound promising!!!

Omg me too actually I do have a really positive feeling about March 23 too!!

So for me right now I feel absolutely no difference to be honest but to be expected right now. I think I've got a good 5/6 days of nothing yet. Going to track my temp though and try to watch out for an implantation dip!!

Yeah my first cycle after Covid I ovulated 4 days late and it delayed my period 5 days and then then next one I ovulated 2/3 days early. Bloody pain!

I am praying AF doesn't show for you x

Salcal · 23/06/2022 21:14

Omg so glad I'm not the only one 🤣 honestly why do we do it to ourselves hahaha. I don't blame you though as implantation can happen in quite a wide timeframe!

Main ones that made me think hmmm was sore gums, weird cramps, smell/food aversion and feeling like BD a lot more than usual 😂 I've spent a lot of time looking at my nipples the last week haha! Have you noticed anything different symptoms wise?

Did it make your cycles longer? I had a 46 day cycle after the booster and then had covid in Feb this year and had a 48 day cycle - so stressful.

AF due either yesterday or in 4ish days, not had usual AF symptoms yet though 🤞 what about you? Next Saturday?

Yes I defo have a good feeling for us and about March 2023! ✨

OP posts:
Angie2018 · 23/06/2022 19:45

@Salcal it's so hard not to symptom spot! I am totally one that squeezes my boobs at any given moment, checks cervix 15 times a day, checks forehead to see if warm.... still non the wiser 🤣 I convince myself I am out every month by about 7dpo because I don't feel anything. 🙈 last month I then had implantation at 9/10dpo and thought to myself, why the hell do I make so much rubbish up before I've even given it a chance to bloody implant 🤣🤣

What symptoms do you have?

Covid is the worst, we had it and it screwed up two cycles massively for us 😩

Do you know when AF should arrive for you?

Ah me too! I feel like its our time, it's month 6!

I also love seeing everyone's positive tests it makes me happy too! Gives me hope! 🥰

@TheCuriouscakedecorator thank you! Baby dust to you also if ttc ✨

@Moonshine160 yes I probably will do! Ive got x3 FRER left so will do FMU tomorrow and the following day then maybe get a digital then call it quits 😂

@Angie2018 so annoying! Ive really been symptoms spotting too, so crazy how our brains trick us.
Not sure how many dpo as since having covid/booster my cycles have been funny but pretty sure I had a CP last cycle 😣

Had EWCM x4 at different points this cycle and cervix soft high open a few times, I think most likely out of all would be 11dpo today but that really is a guess 🤷🏼‍♀️ but stark white bfn until those two indents/vvvfl on strip tests this am.

Ahhhh I so hope you get a BFP!! AF needs to piss off 🤣

Yes absolutely will!! Seeing others BFPs makes me feel so happy for them, love the updates.
