@Lindac1989 congratulations again - really hope you're feeling well!

Hi @Lindac1989! After an immensely confusing week or so my AF finally showed up. Now into our first cycle of doing proper bbt tracking, ovulation testing and so on. My body feels like a science experiment (and my partner, who is a biologist, is in heaven with charts and things) Feeling pretty upbeat though! How are you?

Lindac1989 · 09/09/2022 15:02

Any updates?

Lindac1989 · 01/09/2022 22:27

Thank you

Lexlum · 01/09/2022 22:25

@Lindac1989 Sounds like you are on the ball with everything 🙂

@Jemmajemma It might be too early to tell, some ladies go well beyond predicted AF before the get a bfp. It's still frustrating all the same though!

Jemmajemma · 01/09/2022 21:48

I took a cheapy strip test it was neg :(

And thank you so shocked

Lindac1989 · 01/09/2022 20:02

Docs already no told her about being positive today only because I have a sore tooth so had to ring n see if certain pain meds were OK to take

Lexlum · 01/09/2022 19:58

@Rose785 you've done amazing holding out for so long, not sure I have the same will power! As you say, you're not ruled out until you get AF!

Lindac1989 · 01/09/2022 17:11

Clear blue less sensitive that first response

Lexlum · 01/09/2022 16:42

@grapecat

I've heard the CB digital tests aren't as sensitive so it might not be picking anything up just yet. The First Response Early Results are supposed to be a little more sensitive.

Rose785 · 01/09/2022 16:39

@Jemmajemma period is due this Sat and I feel like my period is about to start any second! I have had to try with every fibre in my body not to test early this month as I can't bear seeing another BFN (plus all the money wasted!) I feel no different to how I have in past months so keeping everything crossed, as am not out until af arrives!

Lindac1989 · 01/09/2022 16:37

Definitely worth a try she's in window where an early 1 can actually be used with being close to her period.. I used mine 2 days now when my date to test is actually tomorrow

grapecat · 01/09/2022 16:37

Thanks @Lexlum and @Lindac1989. I took a test (Clearblue digital) this morning and it was negative, so I think it's probably just my period starting up. Weird because still feel so sick and breasts feel different. I guess symptoms are either imaginary (!) or could mean that something's happening but not sticking. I never usually spot and my cycles are always 31 days so the spotting and early periods makes me feel like something is up. (It's nice being able to talk about this as we haven't told anyone we're TTC - thank you!)

Lexlum · 01/09/2022 16:28

@Lindac1989 got my 🤞crossed for you!

@grapecat might be worth a FRER as Linda suggested? Did you say you had spotting last month too?

Lindac1989 · 01/09/2022 16:19

I would get a first response pregnancy test u can test 5 to 6 days b4 ur period is due and that test is more sensitive than a clear blue its 1 of the tests I took and the rest were different brands some does sound like implantation that I've read online... u can definitely check all this out with ur doctor to see what it sounds like to them if positive or negative but definitely do there brand now seeing u are due ur period in a couple of days like I'm a day b4 I can actually test and mine was positive worth a go and maybe could settle u a little bit at least

Lindac1989 · 01/09/2022 16:13

I'm not actually 100% sure about the spotting I haven't noticed I just got cramps on left side and don't recall any spotting with either of my pregnancies but I was talking to my docs today and she was baffled by how I could be positive right now since I only got the implant out 27th and no and it was my 1st period on 10.08.22 so she's kinda wondering if that was spotting for me but I told her that I highly doubt that as my cramps where really sore and had ovulation discharge on 24th so we're little confused and have to wait and see how far I actually am when I've to go for a scan for measurements etc..she was really shocked that I got postive so quick so me and docs are confused til get scanned and have been testing positive for 2 days now with different brands of early tests... got cotton mouth and strong nausea yesterday and some today mouths still the same breast tender any bottom of stomach feels different strangely... have u tried an early test and what were ur cramps like I no some people that bleed and some people just cramp up and can get implantation abit later that most wish I was more helpful... I have had a miscarriage before so when u were bleeding was there clots

grapecat · 01/09/2022 15:48

Really exciting @Lindac1989!

I've just started spotting, three days before period is due, and all symptoms have pretty much gone except nausea... Quite similar to last month, when I had all sorts of symptoms (breasts much bigger and aching, nausea) that I've never had before then started spotting seven days early before it turned into fully fledged period three days early. Is there any chance that I've conceived and then it didn't 'stick'?

Lindac1989 · 01/09/2022 10:16

Think that might be what I'm waiting to see as with my last pregnancies both lines were really dark and showed in seconds

Lexlum · 01/09/2022 10:13

@Lindac1989 doesn't look like an evap line to me, hopefully the line will darken tomorrow 🙂
