Hoping for a BFP October/November

@Olegia I'm out 😢 AF kicked in full force in the middle of the night. I'm in agony too with it 😩xx

@Olegia 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻

I've had a stabbing pain in my right side since around 6pm last night in what I think is my ovaries?? I don't really know exactly where my ovaries are so I could be way off 😂😂.

I'm usually very crampy and twingey in my uterus in the TWW but it's all been very quiet up to now apart from the stabbing.

Hope everyone is doing ok and I'm looking forward to seeing some bfp's!

@My2boysaremyworld It's not over until your period arrives! Keep us updated? :-)

@Olegia no don't get spotting before like this but it's getting heavier so defo looks like AF coming , I'm gutted xx

@My2boysaremyworld Is that how your period usually goes? (light spotting for 3 days)?

@overthinkersanonnymus Don't worry twice around ovulation is not bad at all. We also only had sex twice, the day before ovulation and the day before (and also once, but 4 days before that, so it doesn't count haha)

DPO 8 today and not feeling anything special at all, just some mild cramping yesterday but that's it... The last week is really dragging by, the first week past ovulation isn't as hard because you know you won't be able to test any time soon anyway and any symptom are probably just a figment of your imagination, but the last few days is when it's tense haha

@UserL95 you’re obviously not supposed to read the test after the set time but when I got the positive at 12dpo last time I went in the bin and found the one from 11dpo and there was a clear line that hadn’t even slightly been there the day before, it was completely stark white when I had checked in the time! I haven’t even got to the stage of being able to take a pregnancy test this time round, AF keeps arriving too early and I don’t even get to 10dpo. Maybe I’ll be lucky whenever I finally get to do one again 😂 saves me money anyway!

@UserL95 I keep up with my hobbies and stuff like that, I do have my DS as well as work full time so that keeps me busy too, I'll probably perk up once AF comes and gets out the way, hope everything's going okay for you xx

@Olegia thank you, I'm not due AF until Monday and been spotting since Tuesday night but today it seems more xx

Hey please can I join! I'm 3dpo and feel like I've got so far to go!! We've only DTD twice around ovulation this month so I'm not holding out much hope but it only takes one!

Congrats on all the bfps!

@My2boysaremyworld That's definitely a symptom of implantation bleeding, I wouldn't lose hope! It's in fact textbook implantation bleeding x

Convinced AF is coming early now 😩

Still spotting and seems to be heavier at times but not red more brown with pink??

@kizzy97 what are you doing to look after yourself? Friends? Family? Hobbies? I hope things start to feel easier if that’s even possible 🙏

@Sparklythings1 this is so helpful to know!! Gives me a tiny spark of hope back. For me, having no hope, nothing to try different, is what gets me the most down

@UserL95 I got my BFP with my son at 12dpo and had ruled myself out the day before when it was negative!

@UserL95 thank you, I'm not 100% sure when I ovulated as the most I've been able to do to take a step back is just stop using OPKs, my cycles vary between 28-33 days so today was the first day where I could test as I'm CD29 but it's obviously been accurate in the past xx

@kizzy97 im so sorry to hear about your BFN. How many DPO are you?

I completely understand the heart break and those feeling of constant why not me. I have no words for you other than I’m hear to listen x

@MendaciousMabel hopefully it’s nothing but overthinking!! Cramping could be loads of things especially in the early days. Hopefully that little bubba is getting nice and snug

BFN this morning...probably lowest I've felt, part of me wants to take a step back but the more dominant part can't bring myself to...

I'm having cramps today and so worried it's AF arriving late even though I've had so many positives this week. I really didn't expect to feel so anxious!

@TryTheNight thanks for the kind words and wishes - definitely need that today. AF not due until 1st Nov so still 3 days left yet. The waiting around is so tough. I’m worried that my worrying is going to make AF late as well if I’m not pregnant!! How much we have to go through makes me so sad for so many women and families

@MendaciousMabel yay! Congrats!

@UserL95 I've never been pregnant before, but it sounds like 10dpo you could still get negative tests. When is AF due? Usually after you're officially late it gets to be more accurate. Sending you all the hugs and support. It really is a tough thing getting negatives knowing that each one pushes you back another month.

10DPO and BFN for me
what’s the latest people tend to get their first BPF?
im starting to rule myself out this cycle but I dont want to admit defeat, I don’t want that to be real.
this is so hard. This month feels like it’s been the absolute hardest
any advice welcomed

congrats 🥳!!

@Butterfliesandroses thank you! Seeing the words does feel different, I’m just keeping everything crossed this is a sticky one x

CD12 today, 5th day of flashing smiley face! I’m very surprised. Although looking at the lines on the actual stick the test line is almost positive. OPK this morning not any higher than last night. Have DTD two days in a row now. Praying I ovulate, pleading to all the ovulating gods
