@Butterflygirl23 @TulipVictory Yessss! I had such a good feeling about you both. So cool.
@Hopefulfor4 I can definitely see it better today, hoping everything will feel confident in a couple of days. Thank you for your kind words. It sounds like you have had an incredibly tough year, I’m really rooting for you and I think it looks good. 🍀

All these test pictures are making me want to test! 😂

Harriet669 · 26/10/2022 10:14

@Hopefulfor4 definitely looks a bit darker 🎉🤍

Harriet669 · 26/10/2022 10:13

@TulipVictory ovulation may have taken longer than you thought! Looks positive to me 🤍

Hopefulfor4 · 26/10/2022 09:28

I couldn't wait for two days! But it has got a smidge darker I think!! Why can't it be nice and bright it really scares me!!

@Butterflygirl23 I see it too! I'm getting very fain lines too even on early tests. I'm due on in Friday I believe x

TulipVictory · 26/10/2022 09:17

Guys what do you think of this at around 15DPO but could be 13-14DPO I suppose. It seems quite faint if it is anything at this stage doesn't it 🤔 period is now late

@TulipVictory looks like a positive to me! X congratulations x

@Hopefulfor4 I’m due on today but I’m experienced enough in this game to not think anything of it if it doesn’t come
today. I know when I ovulated if I did (I got a peak but I don’t temp), so I know a 12dpo bfn is a bfn full stop.
i used to read all those stories about late positives, but it’s so unlikely I’m not interested in them anymore. I think it’s a stage everyone has to go through though. I also used to test every day from DPO8, now I just do the one test. Learnt a lot in 10 months. Unfortunately!

@anotherscroller
It is crazy hard isn't it. Other than a 16 week loss 13 years ago this is the first time I've struggled to get pregnant. The chemicals and 5 week loss and bFn through this year for me have also been bloody awful especially as I've set a time limit! I really hope you get your precious little one soon. I'll be praying for you all xx

I can see a line @Butterflygirl23 how many dpo are you?

Harriet669 · 26/10/2022 09:10

@Butterflygirl23 I can see a line 🤞🏼

Butterflygirl23 · 26/10/2022 08:20

What do you think? I'm due today, like I said yesterday I've been experiencing mild period cramps since Sunday but nothing. I've had watery clear discharge when wiping again this morning that's it.

@ChloeN yeah it's brutal, think I'm in denial! If I was pregnant again by Dec it would probably help but then that will bring with it a whole load of fresh anxiety, such a fun time😄honestly humour is the only thing that gets me through xx

ChloeN · 25/10/2022 21:39

@Autumngal oh that’s just gutting, having to watch someone so close experience what you should be! I find people I don’t knows journeys online hard enough so can’t imagine how you feel!
I had medical management for mine, luckily worked in the end but took quite a few days!
I’ve been trying not to think about how many dpo and symptoms so I haven’t been looking at my apps either 🤣🤣

Autumngal · 25/10/2022 20:51

@anotherscroller hi sorry I meant to say in last msg!

Autumngal · 25/10/2022 20:50

@ChloeN ok that's enough reason for me not to test early, because that sounds awful! Did you have d&c in July? The pressure is unreal, my sister is due the week before I was, joyful. I used flo app last month but I've deleted it already because I don't think it's accurate and also I was obsessed 😅

ChloeN · 25/10/2022 20:41

@Autumngal its such a pressure for it to happen straight away isn’t it!! Nothing happened for me in august, probably didn’t even ovulate as was still bleeding at the start of the month, then had a very early chemical last month which didn’t help matters🤦🏻‍♀️ think that’s why I don’t want to test early because it didn’t make a difference to the outcome anyway and it gave me a glimmer of hope! I’m due Friday so only a few days before you, if it doesn’t show by Sunday planning to test then, but honestly I’m expected it to arrive xx

anotherscroller · 25/10/2022 20:27

@Hopefulfor4 stupid digital. Can you bear to wait another couple of days?
welcome everyone else!
Even though I’m bfn my af hasn’t come yet so I’m still happily DJing the thread

@anotherscroller I should wait but I'm tempted to in the morning! I just want to see a darker line! I hope your Af stays away. When are you due on? X

@ChloeN aww I'm sorry you had to go through that too, worst experience ever❤️ helps me to know someone else who's not conceived straight away the month after because everyone I know keeps going on about how fertile you are after mc, not overly helpful! Last month was first month of properly "trying" and I was crazy with symptom spotting, then when af arrived I was crushed, because only experience I have is falling first time. However, I think I've levelled myself this month haha and same as you am going nowhere near tests until I'm def late if I even get that far! It's definitely normal to take a few or more months, I'm just sad that my happy naive view of pregnancy is now gone. When is AF due for you? X

Beck208 · 25/10/2022 18:34

@Olegia I’ve had a few cramps since ovulation, and tugging on and off on the right side, let’s hope the cramps are good things to come 🤞🏻

Olegia · 25/10/2022 18:32

@Beck208 DPO 5 here! Just feeling mild cramping like I usually get a couple of days before my period, but DPO seems kind of early for implantation...
Breasts/nipples actually don't feel sore

Beck208 · 25/10/2022 18:29

6dpo anyone around the same ? Getting tingly boobs 🤨

ChloeN · 25/10/2022 18:17

@Autumngal we sound very similar! I fell pregnant first month had a mmc in July! I was so obsessed symptom spotting last month but haven’t this month and I’m waiting to test till AF is late xx
