Okay so today im 6DPO.... got some on and off low cramping, on and off headaches feeling constantly tired and just no energy, some thick white CM,my cervix is soft and higher up and just a general mleh feeling. Ive notice too the past 2 days my lower stomach is bloated a bit gassy and this sounds weird but when i bend or anything it feels like my tummys in the way so to speak. Know its WAY to early to test and trying so hard not to symptom spot yet just hoping this is my month. Anyone else in the same boat ?

Hi everyone .. sorry been a bit quiet for a couple days ...
CD3 today for me so another few days until it's play time 😜 have started tracking BBT as well this cycle to see if that makes any difference and have decided to slightly change my diet have stocked up on lots of fruit and veg and no alcohol after this week to give myself the best chances.

So happy for all you ladies that got their BFPs this month !!

How's everyone else feeling ? X

@Rainbowbabyplease I’ve got quite a few symptoms that come and go! Main symptom is exhaustion and that’s pretty much constant. Lots of other symptoms at different times, like sore boobs/nipples, cramps, bad taste in the mouth, heartburn etc

Rainbowbabyplease · 02/02/2023 21:00

@Chanteuse I've bought 20 cheapie ones. I'm just hoping this isn't a chemical just because of how long it took to get a positive and I'm getting a full bloated feeling in my tummy but I wouldn't say it's crampy. How have you been feeling? Have you had many symptoms?

Chanteuse · 02/02/2023 19:52

@Rainbowbabyplease I’ve been doing one every few days to see progression! Once my stash has run out I’ll stop

Rainbowbabyplease · 02/02/2023 19:44

Thanks ladies ❤️

@Shellbabz I've been getting very faint lines on FRER all week. AF due yesterday and only got my first real positive today.

@Chanteuse That's a fab BFP. I've ordered some cheap @home tests to see if I get a darker result in the next few days. Here's hoping. 14dpo today.

@Shellbabz any update x

ttcttc · 02/02/2023 11:25

I think they're usually more central.

Shellbabz · 02/02/2023 11:23

It started to just at the end of the 10 mins and then I put it down and looked at it again and it was really blue. I’ve just done a first response and it was negative so it must of been an evap 😭 3 days until AF is due xxx

Mrsrobinsonx · 02/02/2023 11:21

Congratulations @Rainbowbabyplease ❤️

@Shellbabz oh thats strange! I would maybe say faulty test as it’s got colour but so thin! did it come up in time frame?

Shellbabz · 02/02/2023 10:02

could this be an evap? It’s sooo blue but it’s thin 🥺xxx

6DPO buddies please ?
Chanteuse · 02/02/2023 09:37

@Rainbowbabyplease congratulations!! I felt the same, but I had really faint lines on my tests and this is what they look like now (I’m about 17dpo)

6DPO buddies please ?
Shellbabz · 02/02/2023 09:24

Amazing!! That’s such lovely news, congratulations hun.
im loosing hope for this cycle, I’m 10dpo today and I’ve done a early detection this morning and it’s negative 😭 AF is due on Monday, so it’s looking more likely it’s her that’s causing all these symptoms, but they do feel different to normal and don’t usually happen this early 😩xxxx

Rainbowbabyplease · 02/02/2023 08:36

Well this clears things up a bit.

6DPO buddies please ?
Rainbowbabyplease · 01/02/2023 21:54

Yes AF was due today going by a 26 day cycle. So if I ovulate 19th I would be at most 13dpo today. I'm just so frustrated as I had 4 positives on FRER the first vvvvvvvv faint the other 2 were taken during the night as I just couldn't hold on and this mornings one which is only the tiniest bit darker. I've taken digital tests yesterday at like 3am and BFN and 2 days before also BFN. But the FRER have been giving faint lines since Monday. I know it takes 48+ hours for the hormone to double so maybe I am testing too early or maybe it's a chemical.

Mrsrobinsonx · 01/02/2023 21:49

@Rainbowbabyplease so technically are you late for your period? it looks like a good line but if it’s not getting darker that would make me worry.

I am 7dpo today so still a while to go!
Ovulation usually occurs within 24-36 hours after 1st positive opk but I also just go with the day after (my app does anyway) x

Rainbowbabyplease · 01/02/2023 21:14

@Mrsrobinsonx how many dpo are you? It's my first month using the lh tests where I got a strong positive. It was the Wednesday evening so maybe I'm a day or 2 early for my dpo. I can't remember how many hours the LH surge is before ovulation.

Rainbowbabyplease · 01/02/2023 21:10

Mon, Tues and twice on the weds and the Friday I think.

@Mrsrobinsonx 14 dpo today. Had what I thought was implantation bleeding at the weekend. I only have a 26 day cycle. Used tk be 28 days but since i had a miscarriage at 11 weeks in September it's been 26. I had a positive lh test on the 18th Jan in the evening.

I'm a 25 day cycle. What days did you dtd
