I technically ovulated around the 31st August. So I’m 6DPO, only symptoms I have had are some light cramping, some bloating. But concerned by the lack of CM because I remember I had a lot early on when I conceived him 🤷🏼‍♀️

please feel free to share own symptoms while we wait 😩 I’m going to drive myself mad

@Mamaandbub I can see something, but I'm not sure if it has got colour or not?

I've just taken a FRER and I'm sure I can see the squintiest of squinters... but I know where to look for the indent line, so I'm taking it as a BFN. Today is 8/9 DPO for me... I can't understand why I'd be having these weird twinges / cramps / pulling otherwise, the only other times I've had these have been in early pregnancy. Weird!

Do we see the line or is it just my imagination 🤣😅

@Harriet669 I wouldn’t loose hope, o don’t think I showed until 10DPO with my son

@ladymac337 I feel this spiritually 🤣🤣🤣

@MillieKitty convincing myself I see something but pretty sure it’s wishful imagination 🤦🏼‍♀️

@Harriet669 maybe the urine you used the other day was stronger?!

@Mamaandbub I'm around the same dpo as you and the urge to test is insane, i'm excited to see if anything shows on yours

@ladymac337 welcome! 🤗 sending baby dust to all

ladymac337 · 07/09/2022 12:23

Jumping on here too, think I am 2dpo. We have just started trying for our second so very early days but the obsession has come flooding back!

Harriet669 · 07/09/2022 12:16

Just stupidly did another test at 9dpo, nothing there at all, guess my test 2 days ago was an indent!

Haha same!! It’s quite unlike me. Wishing everyone else luck!

Harriet669 · 07/09/2022 09:39

@Mushroo sounds promising! I admire your self control waiting till the weekend!

Mushroo · 07/09/2022 09:13

AF officially due today and still not here. Had the tiniest amount of spotting (as in one microscopic amount when I wiped last night, but back to nothing today).

Temp still up as well. I do have a stinking cold
though so it could also be that… still planning to test this weekend if nothing.

@Gregorian1 it sounds like the leaflet inside is to cover their backs - but so annoying! Fingers crossed for the FRER! In my last pregnancy I used the Wondfo pregnancy tests (Cheapie ones on Amazon) and they ended up being super good and I got my first positive on them.
I think I was 10DPO though (not entirely sure due to irregular cycles).

I think I'm conjuring symptoms in my head (I think it's only 1DPO) and feeling all sorts of twinges. But it's far to early so definitely all in my head!

Gregorian1 · 07/09/2022 08:23

@MillieKitty My AF isn't due for another 5 or 6 days, I am on day 23 of a 28 cycle... my periods are usually pretty regular.

Yes! They are Amazon tests called 'Conceive +'. Very strange.

MillieKitty · 07/09/2022 08:10

@Gregorian1 that’s a bit naughty of them if they’re false advertising! Yeah get a first response, but even if it’s negative you could still be pregnant! When is your period due?

Gregorian1 · 07/09/2022 07:49

I cracked and took another test this morning. Another BFN. I think I am 8 DPO or 9 DPO now. With my previous pregnancies I've always got positives early - but that's with FRER - I've been trying a different Amazon test which says it is 6 days early on the advert but on the booklet inside the test it says from the day of your missed period. Bizarre!

Still having the same cramps this morning, it's almost constant in my back now. Will get some FRERs today!

Gregorian1 · 06/09/2022 22:34

@MillieKitty Ooh I hope it will be BFP for both of us! I've been having these cramps / twinges everyday since I ovulated. Keep thinking I might be imagining it or creating the symptoms in my head though!

MillieKitty · 06/09/2022 22:31

@Harriet669 i don’t remember having much CM at all last month, I even logged no CM at all on 5dpo according to my Flo app! and I was defo pregnant so you’re not out yet!

@Gregorian1 you’re definitely not out! Just wait a few days, I’m having the same type of pulling cramps as you 😖

Gregorian1 · 06/09/2022 22:13

I'm either 7 or 8 DPO... having lots of sporadic twinges, cramps and pulling sensations in my back and lower abdomen, I've only ever had these before AF when I have been pregnant... I took one of the Amazon Conceive + tests and it was a BFN! Really hope I'm not out and it's just too early to test x

Harriet669 · 06/09/2022 22:07

@MillieKitty I will do! Feel like I might be out tho, sorry if tmi but my CM has completely gone this evening! Normally means AF is pending

MillieKitty · 06/09/2022 18:39

@Mamaandbub thank you and I’m so sorry about yours also, fingers crossed this is our month

@Harriet669 thank you, you will have to update us on your next test! I tested a faint positive 12dpo last month but that was the first test I did so who knows the earliest it would have shown! 🤞🏼

MrsU2022 · 06/09/2022 17:56

I'm 2dpo...this is going to be the longest wait ever! Have been having period like pains since yesterday...

Harriet669 · 06/09/2022 17:50

@Mamaandbub Think I might take one on Thursday or Friday depending on my self control 😂n haven't noticed any but I do feet a-bit more emotional, might be that AF is on her way instead!

@MillieKitty I have sorry about your chemical, I have heard they can be symptoms but I feel like anything can be a symptom 😂🙈

december2020 · 06/09/2022 17:29

Could I join too please!
Similar boat to @Mushroo , technically not trying, but we had sex around suspected ovulation and didn't prevent anything either.

Ovulation could be today/tomorrow (I have irregular cycles and suspected PCOS), in the TWW now but not expecting too much as it took over a year to conceive our first.

@Mushroo oh yes, I think many will be in the same position

@MillieKitty no way! Ovulation buddies 🤣

Sorry to hear about the chemical, I’ve had one too and it’s heartbreaking 💔

oh yes I’ve had some vivid dreams too! I also had that with my son, in fact I dreamt I was pregnant 🤣
