I'm 8dpo and gave in and tested and it's a BFN. I'm not hopeful for this month as with my DS It was clearly showing at 8dpo. Oh well, I'll test again in 2 days but I'm not getting any symptoms either 😔

@Amuseaboosh Wow! It must’ve been a long journey then hopefully with a happy ending. Your hcg must be high or you got your dates mixed up.
I’m currently on month 10 of trying.

I think my dates are as accurate as can be, but then who truly knows what goes on in their bodies ☺️ it could be high HCG, but I know too well that can change at any given time.

10 months, that must be tough. I wish you a positive and happy result very soon.

@Amuseaboosh congratulations, after a tough 18 months sounds like you deserve a nice happy pregnancy now so hoping this is it for you x

@hopefulsquirrel i'm really sorry about the bfn, hope you are ok, sending a hug 💜 x

I am 6dpo today, (although my ff app is telling me from my temps that I am 7dpo today so one of us is wrong by a day) trying not to think constantly and scroll constantly but failing so far lol. I don't think I really have any symptoms.

Thank you ❤️ a day at a time. I'm 4 weeks tomorrow, have been prescribed progesterone pesseries today, and an early scan booked with my GAU in 12 days' time.

Beyond that, there's nothing for me to do but try and keep myself busy and distracted.

@Ladyinpink, sending you lots of positive baby vibes. That goes for everyone else still waiting for their BFP.

@hopefulsquirrel Have you tested today yet? I think you’re the furthest in the tww here.

Yep, with FMU. Still BFN - just with Amazon cheapies. I have ordered a couple of FRERs though.

I know I should wait until AF is late but I have no patience.

Really got my hopes up last month when AF was 2 days late. Was bit brutal when it arrived

@hopefulsquirrel lol you are as bad as me, we both must be tired 🙂 So you are 9dpo today, is that right? Do you plan on testing again?

@cdn298 I tested today too at 7dpo, bfn, wish I would have waited, same every cycle lol. Great to have a symptom, would sore breasts be unusual for you at this time? Hopefully a good sign 🙂

I’m testing daily as apparently I can’t help myself!!!

cdn298 · 24/05/2023 12:02

@Ladyinpink1 I test early alll the time too 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️
I don't usually have any symptoms before AF. We're going away Saturday afternoon for the weekend so I think I'd best do a test Saturday morning just in case x

VitaminSea77 · 24/05/2023 09:59

I’m glad you guys are driving yourselves mad symptom spotting too!

I’m 8 DPO now. I have tender boobs, lots of cm, cramping and feel washed out. Can’t remember symptoms from my previous pregnancies so for all I know I could just be tired and about to come on AF 🤦🏻‍♀️

still trying to hold out until Friday to test 🤞🏻

6dpo here my bbt went up today and I’m having some cm.

hopefulsquirrel · 24/05/2023 07:58

@cdn298 fingers crossed that’s a sign!

@Ladyinpink1 actually I ovulated on the 15th, but on cd13. Misread Premom when I was writing my other post!

cdn298 · 24/05/2023 06:26

I took a test this morning 🤦‍♀️ only 6dpo so knew full well it would be a bfn 🤣 my boobs started really hurting yesterday and that was my first symptom when I got pregnant with DS so 🤞🏻I'll test again Sunday x

hopefulsquirrel · 23/05/2023 19:56

@Ladyinpink1 nothing to apologise for! I was being daft testing this early, tomorrrow is still early too but I doubt I can resist tbh

That does sound strange! And who knows if it could be related there seem to be a lot of strange symptoms associated with hormones!

Ladyinpink1 · 23/05/2023 19:45

@hopefulsquirrel I misread your message, I read that you were 13dpo but you said you ovulated on 13th (not you are 13dpo), so it's still early days, sorry for mixup, i'm tired today is my excuse. 🙂 Will you test again in the morning? x

I said I had nothing to symptom spot but actually I do have a random thing that happened this afternoon, I got a ringing in my ears a few times then a funny feeling that they needed to pop, like on a plane, has anyone had this before? I know its random and my ears have absolutely nothing to do with my ovaries or the tww 🤣 and noone here wants to hear about my ears but it was strange and so i'm sharing with you all. 🤣

emmatcc1 · 23/05/2023 14:59

@BuzzieBo I would recommend some way of tracking. If you don’t wanna do opks at least try bbt or checking cervix as apps aren’t reliable.

OP posts:
BuzzieBo · 23/05/2023 14:56

@Angelselevenx @emmatcc1 I don't actually track ovulation, just been relying on my app. Google says its only classed at late ovulation after day 21 of your cycle and today is day 19 for me so guess its still within normal range

emmatcc1 · 23/05/2023 14:36

@BuzzieBo how do you track ovulation?

OP posts:
Angelselevenx · 23/05/2023 14:09

@BuzzieBo did you have positive LH tests? My April cycle was thrown off after my CP in March x

BuzzieBo · 23/05/2023 14:07

So I'm a little confused...according to my app I should be 5 DPO. But ive just noticed egg white discharge...a sign of ovulation?

Is it possible to ovulate this late? I had a miscarriage in early March so I guess my cycles are a little off.

Amuseaboosh · 23/05/2023 11:29

Hey, this conception no.5 after 4 consecutive losses. We've been trying for about 18 months - we both have children from previous marriages.

What threw me with the CB digital is the 2-3 weeks. According to my dates, I'll be 4 weeks on Thursday. I was expecting to see 1-2 weeks as the number of weeks indicates conception timeframe

I'm 42, DH is 47. We've definitely had challenges, but I'm grateful that we've conception again.

How long have you been on this journey?

I am 42 too and this has given me hope. I’m so so sorry about your previous losses and so happy about your BFP!!

hopefulsquirrel · 23/05/2023 12:16

Amuseaboosh · 23/05/2023 10:51

Hey,

I ovulated on the 9th, and I got a positive test 8dpo. I then did a clearblue digital yesterday night, 12dpo.

I only tested 8dpo as I was getting some symptoms, sore breasts, and cramping..... 😊

Oh wow, congrats! I ovulated on the 13th. Did a cheapie test today and BFN.

emmatcc1 · 23/05/2023 11:53

@BuzzieBo I do that too. I have three apps and check them every day for no reason at all.

@Amuseaboosh Congratulations!!

I'm struggling with the wait. Counting down the days and constantly checking my Flo app like it's going to say something different than it did half an hour ago 😂
