Hi all just creating a new thread since the other one is almost full!!! Really really hoping this is our month, but not hopeful, DH is away with work for most of my FW and only comes home the day before I think I will ov. I've also injured my back!!!

@Olegia that’s what I go by. If I got my peak Wednesday, I’d count as ovulation Thursday and 1dpo Friday. I think the first few days go in so slow especially when you feel like it’s been ages and you’re only 1dpo 😂

Sparklythings1 · 25/10/2022 18:29

@buttercupbee that’s why I was a bit down in the dumps when AF arrived, I so wanted to be 12 weeks by Christmas. Now if it’s this cycle I’ll be 9 weeks or something and would not long have found out before Christmas nights out etc, I feel like it just screams pregnant if I go anywhere and drive so would have to kid on I was drinking. I was out last weekend for the first time in a while and just thought how glad I was that AF had actually arrived because I’d have so struggled to pretend I was drinking and dive away to the bar for a lemonade every so often 🙈

I'm on DPO 5 today, I don't want to be period spotting, but I do have crampey feelings (similar to the ones I have a few days before my period)
I've never had painful cramps or anything, but general bloat and feeling of overall contraction down there, but usually quite mild. Anyway I'm feeling those and it's only DPO5... Also been having hot flashes yesterday, and mood swings...
Were these any of the symptoms anyone had in a previous pregnancy?

Also, DPO is counted from the day AFTER ovulation right? So if I ovulated Thursday, Friday would be DPO 1, correct? :-)

@Butterfliesandroses I don’t think you testing is silly. I got a positive at 7dpo with one of my pregnancies. Everyone is different!

kizzy97 · 25/10/2022 15:20

@bubble55 huge congratulations! Hope it's a sticky bean for you ❤ xx

buttercupbee · 25/10/2022 15:07

@My2boysaremyworld thank you xx

Butterfliesandroses · 25/10/2022 14:22

Thanks @Baby3herewego

BFN for me this morning. I know I am only 8dpo and people will think that was too early to test but the darkness of the positive line at 9dpo on my last two pregnancies makes me think this is us out for this month. Trying to be as positive as possible though so will test one more time either Friday or Saturday this week then leave the sticks alone till next month! Xx

Mummyme87 · 25/10/2022 11:30

Sorry for the BFNs this morning.

I’m CD9 and got day 2 of flashing smiley face on CB digi. I’ve done a cheap opk and it’s very negative which I’m glad about as don’t want to potentially ovulate until CD12/13.

My2boysaremyworld · 25/10/2022 11:30

@buttercupbee so sorry xx

buttercupbee · 25/10/2022 10:38

No sign of AF this morning so I did a FRER, only for it to be a BFN and then AF showed up about an hour later :( it was only our second cycle so I know it was unlikely to happen but you just can’t help get your hopes up can you. I really wanted to get a BFP this month as it would’ve meant we could tell people around Christmas. Oh well onto cycle 3 for us now!

Sending lots of love and baby dust to everyone who’s been trying a long time. I can’t imagine how hard it is x

My2boysaremyworld · 25/10/2022 09:51

9DPO today if I go off my app as didnt track this month. Feeling quite nauseous and god my back was killing me yesterday with tummy cramps xx

Littleheart5 · 25/10/2022 09:39

BFN for me this morning, AF due Saturday so we will see if anything changes but I think we’re onto the next cycle! Staying positive. Good luck to all still waiting x

Baby3herewego · 25/10/2022 07:53

Goodluck @Butterfliesandroses and @Littleheart5 xx

Littleheart5 · 24/10/2022 21:23

I’m 11DPO tomorrow and going to test. Had a very depressing meeting with IVF consultant earlier today, so hoping against hope I can manage to do this

MendaciousMabel · 24/10/2022 21:02

Aww congratulations @bubble55 ☺️

Butterfliesandroses · 24/10/2022 20:09

So I'm 8dpo tomorrow. With my DD1 I got a faint BFP on 8dpo with a cheap test from Tesco. I have a couple of FRERs in and I'm so tempted to use one tomorrow... but obviously scared of disappointment too.

Last two pregnancies (one mmc) I got a good strong line on a FRER at 9dpo so 🤞

Butterfliesandroses · 24/10/2022 20:07

Congratulations @bubble55 , that looks great! Totally understand where you are coming from feeling nervous about it though. Fingers and toes crossed for you xx

Sparklythings1 · 24/10/2022 20:01

@bubble55 wow congratulations 🥰

shibeshibe · 24/10/2022 19:46

Congrats @bubble55!!! Definitely a strong line so fingers crossed 🤞

@bubble55 congratulations!! Hopefully a nice sticky bean and a healthy 9 months ahead. That's a really strong line for 11dpo too!!!

Periods due on Wednesday. I think I’m 11dpo today. Just can’t get excited as this is my 3rd pregnancy in 4 months now…so desperate for it to stick 🌈🤞🏼

Hoping for a BFP October/November
TryTheNight · 24/10/2022 17:33

I'm still sick ever since the wedding I attended, so I'm just waiting until AF arrives to start over next month. Hopefully I'm healthy by then. This cold is kicking my butt.

I've been excited to see some BFPs from you all.

kizzy97 · 24/10/2022 13:14

Well Thursday is test day! Bricking it tbh just don't really expect good news anymore tbh, so far had the odd niggle in my lower stomach and really wanting foods I craved whilst I was pregnant with DS, knowing my luck though it'll be all in my head 😅

shibeshibe · 24/10/2022 08:41

Thanks so much for the messages lovelies and congrats to everyone else with their BFP 😊

Tested again this morning at 12dpo and still getting a faint line about the same....really hoping it darkens and sticks. AF due on Wednesday normally so time will tell!
