End of November testers (TTC August Baby)

@CityKity @Surprised90 congratulations!! my period was also due today. unfortunately, I think she’s arrived. Looks like I’m out again. Nobody talks about how hard this all is!!! I’m definitely not testing until my period is missing. that test i took 4 days ago, was clearly faulty. Not letting myself believe that it was a real positive and possible chemical as I think that’s worse.

I have a cautionary tale for early testing!! My AF was due today, I tested last Thursday and Saturday got complete BFNs and was fairly sure I was out as I had early BFP on my little girl. Did a cheap digital from home bargains this morning and it’s positive! I’m still remaining cautiously optimistic with a little bit of disbelief! It’s true what they say - you really aren’t out until AF arrives.

@ScotsBaby2 sorry you got a bfn. I did too this morning.

@CityKity congratulations!!

@CityKity congratulations! It's a lot to get your head around but I'm sure it'll come with time and talking with DH

Tested this morning and big fat negative. Now to hold out for however long for my period.

@CityKity congratulations! I was in the exact same situation 2 years ago with my little boy when I found out I was pregnant. Our closest couple friends had literally had a miscarriage just 2 weeks before I found out and had been honest and told us. I was delighted to get a positive but instantly thought ‘oh god, how can we tell them that?!’ I texted it to her in the end up, just because I knew it would sting, no matter how happy she was for us. I thought at least if you text it they don’t have to do a false reaction and if they want to go and have a cry without you seeing they can. I’m sure they’ll be pleased for you. My friend got her happy ending after all after a really awful journey to get there a o hopefully yours will too 😊 Also the drinking thing is my biggest fear this cycle 😂 No idea what I’d do at these nights out! My number one thing though is just never to admit you’re not drinking, you must pretend at all costs! 😅

@ChloeN oh really that’s interesting! i mean I'm thinking its got to show static by at least tomorrow or I’m going to have a really long cycle this month!

but that’s the only other alternative I can think off! Xx

@CityKity what lovely news, congrats! 🥰

My bbs were so achy today I had to take my bra off. I think I'm just super-sensitive to any pms symptoms this month though, as I know there's a chance. Although it could also be the 4lbs I put on on holiday two weeks ago, maybe it all went on my chest 😅

I guess I'll know tomorrow as I normally start spotting lightly 2 days before AF is due.

TWW takes forever 😅

@Lollywhite I did a clearblue opk the other day just out of interest, I’m nearly 5 weeks now and it was static smiley and the line was like this inside of that helps! Xx

@Elephantrose18
Thankyou🥰 don't worry, it's a very active thread, easily missed!

AF is due on the 7th, but I think I'm going to pick up some test tomorrow and do one and see how that goes, if it's negative I'm going to just wait it out then and see if AF shows up! Xx

@CityKity ah that’s amazing news congratulations lovely!💕💕

Hi everyone
just wondering if anyone else has come across this I’m currently on cycle 5 TTC

Previous cycles have been between 29-33 days with the odd 23 day cycle.. I’m now on CD 19 and on my third day of flashing smileys.! On CD 17 ( I got high fertility flashing smiley I had pink cm when wiping) sorry TMI, but has anyone else experienced this and is this wishful thinking but could I have possibly ovulated super early and missed my peak and pink cm could have been implantation and the the flashing faces indicate pregnancy ?

I know I’m probably jumping the gun but can’t help but cross my mind.. just wondering if anyone has heard of this happening where clearblue pick up HCG XX

@ScotsBaby2 thanks for the advice. It’s just a shock to the system right now. I actually had a glass of wine 2 nights ago as I was so sure AF was going to turn up.

This friend I see so often, she will be the one I tell immediately after DH and before my own family. I actually worry we spend so much time together she might need some space from me :(

@marleyandme congrats on your line! That’s wonderful. I have a box of easy at home tests that I’m working my way through each morning!
@ScotsBaby2 AF due Friday but not always bang on time. But nice to hear that others have had negatives at this point and then later positive results.
good luck with tomorrows test, it’s so frustrating and I have no willpower to wait!

Congratulations. Hiding drinking is actually really easy. Make sure you buy your own drinks when out and a small drink won't do you any harm.

In regards to your friend, I think I would probably text them before you announce to the world and then they can process on their own away from the main announcement.

Cycle day 51 today. I'm fed up now. I just want my period to arrive. My cycles are usually long anyway so if this is a double cycle then I could be here until day 64. I don't want that

I thought I had some darker discharge today but nope. Still creamy and thick.

I'm going to do one last pregnancy tests tomorrow. A nice pink frer. After that I'm just waiting. Waiting. Waiting.

With my son I got a negative at cd32 (14dpo) and then a positive on cd 34 (16dpo).

I'm a big believer in seeing if period arrives. Good luck x

Finally came home to do a test and it’s BFP 😱. The test line is a lot stronger than control line and came up immediately. I’ll post a picture after I tell DH.

Tbh I’m in utter shock right now. We only DTD CD8 and CD21 so had already ruled myself out. Mixed emotions - we were half heartedly trying but not expecting a positive so early! I also have a very very close friend struggling with TTC so am very anxious about telling her. She didn’t know we were starting to try yet so I’m worried I should have been more upfront. Obviously December is the season of more social engagements than you can shake a stick at so also worried how on earth I will mask not drinking?!
Im sorry I’m all over the shop emotionally- I know I’m really lucky and shouldn’t take any of the above for granted.

@Misspotterscat you're not out until AF appears! I'm 14dpo (potentially based on very bad app data) and am only now getting a faint line. If I'd have tested 2 days ago I'd have thought it was completely negative too. Waiting is difficult though!

@SarahEvans1996 Thankyou very much for your kind words 😊 can't say I'm feeling overly optimistic as this is way too much like last month

I’m feeling very deflated. I have had “symptoms” - sore breasts, overly emotional, today I’ve felt faint. Tested several times, the last time being today at 12dpo and all have been negative. I just know I’m out but wish my body wouldn’t play mind tricks

@SarahEvans1996

possibly. I was just so happy to see that pink like come up, within 2 minutes. You think you’d be able to trust the tests!!

Sorry to hear about your miscarriage btw, I’ve just looked back on your post ❤️
when is your AF due?

@TulipVictory
Sorry to hear about the chemical 😞💕
I definitely see the line on that test! Your period hasn't shown up which is a positive sign! Some people don't have their dye sealers till much later so try not to stress yourself out🥰 take one on Friday or Saturday to compare! But my fingers are crossed for you!! 🤞 Xx

@Elephantrose18

Maybe the line you had was an indent? 🤔 And obviously the spotting was the implantation after? When is your AF due? Make sure to keep us updated!

I had a chemical last month. On the day AF was due I had a very faint line on a pregnancy test. However, three days later AF came full force. I was gutted I tested and said I would only do it again if I was late. My cycles are never later than 28 days so this cycle I am currently day 32, I've tested this afternoon and this is the test? I feel like this is way too faint for being late? Do you think it will be another chemical? Thanks for looking 😊
