I'm 2 dpo today and the wait is killing me 😂😂😂

redavocado · 30/01/2023 19:18

My test was negative at 10dpo (eve) and then positive at 13dpo! Obviously in between I cried, drank buckets of wine and ate raw fish and rare steak.

Chip131 · 30/01/2023 19:06

Congratulations to all the postives❤️❤️❤️🎉🎉🎉

I just did a test and it was negative at 8po (obviously, why do i do this to myself!!) i definitely feel off so hoping that im not out of the game yet xxx
@redavocado when did you get your positive test? Xxx

redavocado · 30/01/2023 19:03

Well, I tested again this morning because it seemed that AF had vanished and it's definitely positive! 😁

chip131 that sounds exactly what I'd mistaken for AF last week. Crossing everything for you!

Chip131 · 30/01/2023 15:38

Hey girls, 8 days po today i think. Just had a bit of brown discharge when i wiped (sorry tmi!). What does it mean😂😂😅xxx

afinethingindeed · 30/01/2023 15:16

@Betsy21 I'm 9 DPO today so it's very early. I think I was 10 DPO when I found out with DD so not too dissimilar.

afinethingindeed · 30/01/2023 06:54

@Betsy21 last cycle I started testing the day after AF ended because I kept missing my peak and wanted to be sure I got it. Turns out it was a bit later than I expected so I'll probably only test from around CD10 next time.

Yeah I was the same I didn't peak untill 5 days after my suspected ovulation date. I reckon I'll start testing in a week

Betsy21 · 30/01/2023 13:01

Oh fingers crossed for you 😊 @afafinethingindeed how many days DPO are you?

afinethingindeed · 30/01/2023 12:37

I don't know why but I did a test this morning - cheap pink dye one. I think I've got the faintest line - it's a real squinter. DH can see it too. I don't want to get my hopes up too much and I know I've got a long way to go still. Plus with testing so early, it could be a chemical.. I am just so so hopeful it's an actual positive and that it sticks.
Will test again tomorrow and see where we're at.

When does everyone starting OPK testing after AF? I'm reading conflicting info online

Oh well @redavocado good luck ! Let us know

It seems that AF has not arrived after all so i may have been seeing implantation spotting instead. I would have thought I could tell by now!

I tested Friday night (10dpo) with an early response kit and got a negative but now starting to wonder... trying not to get me hopes up!

@afinethingindeed still have two days to go soo does seem a bit odd & not really progressing to a proper flow 🤔

hopefully neither of us get to that I was just a bit disheartened this morning but feel more optimistic & ready for next month now .

@Ncl31 oh that’s annoying but glad it’s getting back to normal for you , hopefully that will make things easier 🤞🏼

afinethingindeed · 29/01/2023 17:18

@Morticia31 Ok so you're not definitely out yet then. Sounds a bit strange, see how you go the next few days. When's AF due for you? It feels early?

DH and I decided we'll seriously try for a few more cycles and then we'll probably try and relax a bit and if it happens, it happens. Hoping we don't get to that point but we'll see.

Ncl31 · 29/01/2023 17:15

AF finally arrived for me today. 6 days late and after a week of BFNs.
onwards and upwards but a cycle of 34 days which is getting back to normal after the last 12 months of being all over the place.

@afinethingindeed pretty sure it is although starting really slowly still haven’t actually seen anything red (sorry tmi) but think I’m
best just facing its coming & yes very cruel 🙈

thinking of maybe trying to just forget about it now & just hope one day it will happen

OP posts:
afinethingindeed · 29/01/2023 14:05

Sorry to hear @Morticia31 😞 is it definitely AF then?
It's so hard not getting your hopes up month after month.
I honestly can't believe how naive I always was about TTC. It can be so horrible 😞

I'm not due AF until 4th feb so still too early for me to test. I've not had any signs or symptoms but then I didn't really have any with DD until I was 5/6 weeks. Looking forward to getting to the end of next week.. 🤞

Good luck @afinethingindeed fingers crossed for you 🤞🏼🥰

I was pretty upset this morning but will have a nice glass of wine tonight before the next month 😂

AF arrived for me last weekend - so onto the next cycle. Currently on CD7. Started opks again yesterday and still temping so will see how I get on this cycle. Good luck to anyone who is due to test soon. Xx

redavocado · 28/01/2023 04:43

AF here too so I'm out for another cycle.

Betsy21 · 27/01/2023 20:52

AF arrived today, 2 days before due to test 🫠 onwards & upwards for next month.

Has anyone had any BFP recently?

NewMrsC · 24/01/2023 10:41

@Chip131 I've been trying to strategically space it out so it doesn't look too obvious its more than normal . Seems to be working without too many questions, other than last night when he asked why I hadn't got straight up... 😳think I covered it well 😎
