🤔🤔🤔

Not my first wee of the day obviously. It's a cheap test and I'm not due until Saturday... do I see something or do I have line eyes?

@MrsCristianoX no absolutely no line at all and wasn’t FMU 😂😂 going to wait till 10DPO and do another cheapie. Just these bloody cramps throwing me off and also making me feel worried.

Thats very interesting… so how many days did bleeding last? I do think there’s a chance it could be implantation!

MrsCristianoX · 13/09/2022 12:49

@Hjudge56 its so easy to cave and once you start..sorry about bnf any kind of line at all? I'm line obsessed now 😂

I'm in work today. Zero bleeding last night just shoved a tampax in this morning at 7am and left😂 pulled it out a minute ago and totally clear

Hjudge56 · 13/09/2022 11:52

Okay I caved bfn at 8DPO but I’m just being silly doing a cheapie 😂😂😂

Hjudge56 · 13/09/2022 09:28

@MrsCristianoX honestly do not worry at all. This is what this thread is about.. open space for everyone!
I can see the line more in the second test. How many DPO are you now? Is AF due or was it due when you started bleeding?

i have been reading up a lot about implantation because I’m still getting these subtle cramps on and off the past 4 days. It’s like ovulation cramps which is making me second guess myself on when I ovulated but I always ovulate between CD15-18 and I’m CD25 today. That being said AF is due this Sunday so it very possibly could be early AF cramps so I’m not very hopeful this month. Just feeling very sluggish etc but all pretty normal for me before I’m due!

how are you today?

MrsCristianoX · 12/09/2022 22:19

@Hjudge56 I feel like such a donkey🙈 The first test the picture does not do it justice at all. And it dried out looking the same. The second one is it dried coz I looked at it and thought nope negative at the start. Then it developed what I think is the indent about half hr later

Literally the only reason I tested was because I couldn't eat even half my dinner. And if this is implantation god only knows where it has implanted (still achy back)

Working tomorrow and Wednesday and will hold off to Thursday if no bleeding. Ahhh mental head f**k 😂

Send me any of your tests when you start. I got you 😘 DH literally rolls his eyes at me now so he's out of my loop 😅 He's all like 'u ok babe?' Me 'oh yea totally fine' definitely not fine

Hjudge56 · 12/09/2022 21:53

@MrsCristianoX do not ever apologise for sending over pics to get clarification!!!! I always do too! We’re all here for each other!

I can definitely see something but hard to tell if it’s an intent or not. Do they look different after drying for longer?

MrsCristianoX · 12/09/2022 21:17

@Hjudge56 ffs never mind I can't even see them now 😂 block me or something 😩

MrsCristianoX · 12/09/2022 21:15

@Hjudge56 indent? I'm sorry I hate myself for even asking (bleeding was a literal wipe🙄) I promise I'll leave you in peace after 🙈 for one week at least😂

@MrsCristianoX yes i will wait for a few days for sure! I know last time I was testing from 7DPO and it really messed with me! So I’m quite happy to just wait for now to be honest!

MrsCristianoX · 12/09/2022 17:25

@Hjudge56 oh and don't use east@home preg tests in the first week honestly I've some incredible indents saved to my phone xx good luck 😘

MrsCristianoX · 12/09/2022 17:23

@Hjudge56 ohh hun so close but try and hold out for a few more days..!

I actually did go to sleep for half an hr there. Be up all night now 😭

Hjudge56 · 12/09/2022 17:05

*now 8dpo

Hjudge56 · 12/09/2022 16:33

@MrsCristianoX oh I am so sorry… it is so so frustrating. Will you continue to try? I really have a feeling your time is very soon ❤️ TTC is so so draining but we are strong 🙏🏼

I am good thank you. I’m cramping again and I realised it’s been since 5dpo. I’m now 7dpo. They’re very mild and random but it’s making me feel tired haha. Going to wait a few days and test!

MrsCristianoX · 12/09/2022 16:17

@MamaSJ15 @Hjudge56 this mornings bfn and I've since started to bleed..it's mentally draining this ttc

MrsCristianoX · 12/09/2022 13:23

@Hjudge56 bfn on FRER and I can only assume indents on the cheapie now🤷‍♀️ bloody hell I've looked at these tests so much I now have actual line eyes😂 ugh

Still no bleeding but I'm putting it right out of my head for one week exactly. Let's see how that goes😅

How are you feeling? Xx

MamaSJ15 · 12/09/2022 13:23

@MrsCristianoX totally with you. Let us know how you get on testing.
With moving house, this next cycle is not gonna be well tracked at all, but maybe a distraction is what we need!

Hjudge56 · 12/09/2022 12:35

Any news this morning on the test with FMU @MrsCristianoX ? 🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼

canonlyhopexo · 11/09/2022 21:25

@MrsCristianoX oh no I totally understand that, I try and do the same! And try to minimalise my disappointed but alas am still disappointed. Yes my cycles are about 33/35 days apart from after a chemical I had a 28 day one randomly. I did cave tonight and tested got a BFN. We've only DTD up until CD21 and I didn't do any OPKs but didn't have ANY symptoms like EWCM and I think I've probably just missed the boat which pisses me off even more! Why didn't we have more sex lol. It's gets exhausting though.

Hjudge56 · 11/09/2022 21:20

@MrsCristianoX yeah I get you that’s the exact same attitude I’m trying to have! Be carefree and it is bound to happen 😂😂! Let us know how you get on in the morning… I really hope it’s implantation or your hcg levels not risen enough yet! I’m the same with DTD just getting annoying hahahaha! See I’m sitting here now and got these dull aches again… just wonder if it’s AF coming early!

MrsCristianoX · 11/09/2022 20:57

@canonlyhopexo @Hjudge56 I always try to talk myself out of pregnancy and babies before I test because I feel like if I don't want to be pregnant it will absolutely happen. That's sounds really weird I'm sorry 🤣 Then I get to this point and I'm like please please no more bleeding 🙏🙏 my pessimist attitude to pregnancy goes right out the window

@Hjudge56 im working on it! Xx

Yea I'm under no illusion of a positive I did lose a good bit of blood but then I can start focusing on my next cycle and timing it so I only need to DTD once😂 it's been a long 9 months 😏

@canonlyhopexo you have longer cycles? Mine are 26/27 max so it all happens at once. AF stops then fertile week is on top of me, quite literally 😂

canonlyhopexo · 11/09/2022 20:42

@MrsCristianoX I'd defo do another just in case! 3+2 is super duper early so maybe it's just your hcg levels starting to kick in and implantation bleeding!?

I'm on CD27, due on on Saturday and I've tested BFNs twice. Hoping it's just too early but I'm expecting disappointment 😕😔

Hjudge56 · 11/09/2022 20:30

@MrsCristianoX yes definitely do a proper test with FMU. I really hope this sticks and maybe just hcg taking a while to build up 🤞🏼 It would be very interesting to hear any implantation tips!!!

MrsCristianoX · 11/09/2022 20:26

@Hjudge56 first positive at 3+2 so 4+2 now and the lines are in no way stronger. I want to take a proper test with fmu and be like that's it now. I'm googling implantation tips now it seems I can conceive easy enough it's just getting them to stick!! If I try again I'm not 100% sure I will though xx need to DTD and I don't wanna 😭😭🤣

Hjudge56 · 11/09/2022 20:11

@MrsCristianoX Exactly… I’ve kind of come to the point where I realise every cycle is different and every twinge or sudden soreness etc can just be anything! I mean it sounds like things could still be happening for you🤞🏼When DPO did you get your first line and where are you at now? Have the lines got darker? Really hope this takes a turn but always best to expect the worst which is very annoying!
