Hi ladies, after stalking every one else’s threads for months I’ve decided to make my own 😄 Im 7DPO today and have had 2 negative tests so far. Im 31, and we’ve been ttc for about 4 months now. I know it’s a bit too early to test so I’m staying hopeful. I just want to hear from anyone who’s in a similar situ so we can offer some support for each other ☺️ x

@Yolo23 congratulations! I also had a bfp from the clearblue test but mine said 2-3. Not sure how it could be that far along but I'll take that!!
To everyone else, I wish you all the very best on your journeys. I'll keep my fingers crossed for you all and I hope to see you on some other threads in the future! If my old body can get it right, I'm sure you all can too xx

eleven.. thank you 😊

omggggg! @Egsnow congratulations!!! 🥰✨ that’s wonderful news. I think it’s probably because I’m just before AF. If you google NHS when am I due - you’ll see that you’re actually further gone than the clear blue test. My friend who has been through a similar TTC journey told me. NHS says I’d be 3 weeks so you must be a week more perhaps!? When was the date of your last period? Xx

@Yolo23 Yay!! That’s amazing news! Congratulations!! I haven’t tested since Monday to avoid disappointment 😞 I like to hang on to the fact there’s a possible chance for as long as possible. AF due Sunday/Monday but I haven’t had the usual spotting that I do beforehand!

@TK220440 Thank you! ❤️❤️ AF is actually due Sunday so it’s still early but I had to do it today having had a smear booked for 10am. I’ve done endless tests since and all say the same 🤣fingers crossed for when you test my lovely 🥰

Yeah definitely had twinges in the middle of abdomen and on the sides in the lead up - quite frequent! Xx

Yolo23 · 25/11/2022 16:57

@monsteramunch thank you 🥰 it still doesn’t seem real… I’m hesitant to believe it 😂 but that’s what it says haha! Definitely DTD every other day is what we done after positive ov!

@carsty thank you ❤️❤️

@Yolo23 did you have the same twinges down below as you did before AF?

TK220440 · 25/11/2022 15:45

@Yolo23 Congrats💃💃💃💃💃

monsteramunch · 25/11/2022 11:54

On day three of positive (super strong) strip OPKs... I guess we'll just keep DTD daily until they aren't positive anymore?!

monsteramunch · 25/11/2022 11:52

Oh @Yolo23 what amazing news!!! Congrats Flowers

Yolo23 · 25/11/2022 11:41

Researched piles as in lots of things 😂😅 that sounded wrong!

Yolo23 · 25/11/2022 11:40

Hey ladies! I’ve been quite active on this group so thought I’d best update… this happened this morning 😬😅 I’m still completely in shock. Had to cancel my smear that was booked for 10.30am!
partner doesn’t know yet as he’s out watching the football 🤣
I had so many symptoms this month and researched PILES so if anyone has any qs and I may be able to help, please let me know.

@monsteramunch thank you! The weird thing is that I still believe I have all the symptoms. I’m sat here feeling sick with a banging headache, the odd spotting. It’s so frustrating 😂 your body and mind really does play tricks on you 🤪

monsteramunch · 23/11/2022 18:46

@Yolo23

Ah thank you, god I know the feeling of trying not to get hopes up but there always being some hope right until AF finally arrives!

That's great to have the holiday to look forward to if this isn't your month. I know it feels like a shit consolation prize for what we really want but it does help to have something to look forward to Flowers

Sending you lots of luck!

Yolo23 · 23/11/2022 17:30

@monsteramunch good luck! That all sounds really positive 🥰 I am just awaiting AF - 2 negative tests so far, still early but for once I was convinced this was our month so it’s gutting however learning curve to not listen to symptoms again and get hopes up 🤪🤣 this ride just keeps going downhill! But on the positive… we have an all inclusive hol coming up so I will be making the most of that if I can 🤩

monsteramunch · 23/11/2022 14:30

How is everyone feeling today?

I've got from empty circles CD12 and CD13 to a static smiley today (CD14) so any positive vibes are very welcome!

Have DTD today and will make sure we do so the next two days as well, as I think the test result means I'm surging today so ovulation will be tomorrow?

Usually CD16-18 I get my static smiley so I'm glad I'm digital testing or I would have missed this month's best days!

monsteramunch · 23/11/2022 14:30

@Egsnow got everything crossed for you!!

TK220440 · 23/11/2022 14:07

@Egsnow hey! That sounds positive! I’d get your self straight out to pick up a couple of tests and keep us updated!

carsty · 23/11/2022 11:47

@Egsnow That sounds positive, good idea to do the digital or frer test and sounds promising since af is late...Congrats

Egsnow · 23/11/2022 10:52

I was due AF yesterday and it hadn't come but I had all the feels of a imminent period and so just assumed I was a bit late.
I thought I'd do a quick test just in case and there is a faint line for positive 😯. I've only got the cheap dip stick tests at home so will be going out very soon to buy the digital ones! But....I have no other symptoms, no sore breasts, no sickness or anything?! So weird. Might be a false positive I suppose??!! Anyone else had this?

NarnieJoy · 23/11/2022 09:57

@TK220440 i also confirm ov with cb digi and bbt
