Anyone else 4dpo?
Feeling any different?!
I've always said it's a bit early but I'm open to hearing if anyone is!

Thanks @SnookyPook and @Holly03 i haven’t done another test cos I’ve run out of early tests but got a regular one so maybe will give that a go in the morning. My period can be a bit random so still could be a bit early to test if that makes sense! I get AF anywhere between day 25-40 sometimes!

Congratulations on your BFP’s ladies!

I did some early tests last week and BFN. AF is 2 days late now but is usually a bit irregular so not sure when to test again.

I’m 2 days late and got bfn last Friday but tested today and got faint lines. So I would definitely test again. I’ll be testing again tomorrow and Wednesday to see if the line gets darker. I’m going to try some cheap ones from my local shop when I collect some parcels, slightly embarrassed to go to collect parcels after having a few glasses of wine and asking about them in the local shop who did not sell them on Friday. No idea why I’m embarrassed

@RainbowMum92 I was convinced AF was due... Not over till she appears! But as you say, if she does appear at least you can start focusing on your next cycle. 🤞🏻

@Welshgal85 if you're 2 days late and haven't done a test since early last week I'd deffo test again asap! Good luck! And keep us posted. X

Hi everyone it’s lovely to see lots of bfp! Huge congratulations 🥳
I tested yesterday and it was a bfn! So it was definitely an evap on my last test. I’m due on tomorrow and got lower back pain today so I’m just waiting for it to start so we can go into our next month of trying 🥰

Holly03 · 20/02/2023 11:48

Late period but still a no

@BeaKind yeah I've not felt much the last few days and was convinced AF was on the way! That day of cramping at 8dpo must have been implantation though - so cool and crazy! Aware it's super early days still but trying to enjoy a bit of excitement before the anxiety kicks in haha. Think DH is pleased - he's just come home from an opticians appointment with a bunch of flowers for me and he never does that 😄

BeaKind · 20/02/2023 10:15

Aw yay @SnookyPook congrats! I did my digital on Saturday but it still doesn’t feel real. My only symptom has been a couple of vivid dreams and slight metallic taste in my mouth. I want to keep testing to be sure.

SnookyPook · 20/02/2023 10:13

@BeaKind so I finally tested this morning....! 😃 congrats to you too!!

Baby dust to those still waiting!

👋 Did anyone else test at the weekend? 🤞

Ok hubby is a pushover and came home for lunch. I asked him if I should test and he said why not.

I’m 11/12 dpo now. No symptoms really other than a vivid dream last night which I’m not sure counts.

Top test is Monday’s test and bottom is todays (lunchtime).

Do you think this looks dark enough? Or maybe a chemical?

I’ll test with a frer in the morning. 🤞

Congratulations

@Welshgal85 it definitely gets a bit all consuming! I'm finding it really tough to concentrate on work this week. Every few minutes I'm just looking at these threads etc - not sure what I'm hoping to achieve haha.

RainbowMum92 · 16/02/2023 12:01

Welshgal85 · 16/02/2023 11:53

Thanks @RainbowMum92 😊 Fingers crossed!

I feel like I’m driving myself mad a bit tbh. I’m constantly thinking about TTC and it’s getting me down a bit.

how are you getting on?

Honestly I don’t know anyone that doesn’t feel that way it can literally take over your life. I was my worst enemy previously ttc and it wasn’t until I stopped “trying” and stressing that it happened! But I do still question every little symptom lol
I'm actually feeling quite positive today and going to go out for the day to keep me busy. I’m not back to work until Sunday so I’m finding odd jobs to keep me occupied x

BFN for me today, I caved and tested at 8dpo. I’ve still been having cramping and nausea so thought maybe it was worth a test 🤷🏻‍♀️Maybe I’ll wait a few more days and test again. AF is due on Sunday.

The odds aren’t against you yet! I never get disheartened this early on as so many people test negative right up until af is due. Fingers crossed x

SnookyPook · 16/02/2023 10:44

@RainbowMum92 ooh I do feel like I see the beginning of something there.. will you be able to hold off testing again for another 3 days?! I feel like I'm seeing loads of BFP at 10dpo and that's where I'm at today but l'm still holding off for now as it seems to cause a lot of angst for lots of people and also I really couldn't say from my symptom spotting. I think after the cramps on Tuesday maybe it would be more obvious by now if I was pregnant but 🤷🏼‍♀️

i have no more tests except a digital so I won’t be able to test again lol I had tingly nipples last night and a really vivid dream so I couldn’t resist testing this morning but I won’t count it as a bfp as I’m not entirely convinced it is one.
I think if you can hold off testing the better but I don’t torture myself over faint lines anymore I used to get obsessed and keep testing lol fingers crossed for us! X

RainbowMum92 · 16/02/2023 10:28

So I stupidly caved today at 9dpo but more stupidly got the wrong test! I got rapid response instead of early response lol I’m sure there’s something vvvvvv faint but now will have to wait until maybe Sunday to test when I’m 12dpo.
How is everyone this morning? X

@RainbowMum92 sorry you're feeling the same! Due on Sunday so just a few more days of uncertainty to get through... 🥴

It must be even harder to know what to think when you've had previous symptom-less pregnancies! You really can drive yourself mad with all this can't you?!

@SnookyPook not too long to wait now! I’m due on Tuesday I think. Although this is my first month off the pill so it could all be out of sync x

@RainbowMum92 little bit 'meh' tbh as I feel like not really any symptoms today and after the hope yesterday I'm doubting it all again and thinking I'm probably just on hyper-alert to every little thing! Just looking forward to knowing one way or another if AF comes now! How are you doing today? X

@SnookyPook I'm completely the same! Apart from the odd twinge and heartburn randomly in symptom free! Saying that though some of my previous pregnancies have ended up shocking me as I had no symptoms at all so I’m just driving my self mad for no reason lol I’m going to test on Friday though. When are you due on? X
