@HelloMoon87 yeah, I’ve been exhausted since 4dpo, had some mild twinges 6dpo, hot flushes and increased appetite and of course the clear liquid from right nipple! That’s it really, and some headaches ! But yeah I ideally want to wait as well tbh!

BlossomTree123 · 08/08/2023 13:17

@HelloMoon87 100% positive!! congratulations!!! I’m hoping this one progresses well for you!!!

@missmae ah yes and you also have some symptoms right? It is hard to wait and also hard to test. I would say if you could hold until dpo 12, it's probably a bit better. Having BFN is so demotivating.

@HelloMoon87 yes that makes sense! Fingers crossed! 🤞🏼hahah I’m with my sister who is currently nearly 10 weeks so she’s egging me on to test 😂🫣

@missmae I will be testing every day until I pass the time I had my chemicals. The initial excitement got quickly replaced by fear, going to take it day by day 🤞 I will say waiting to test is better but who am I to say it 😂 I have no willpower.

Thank you so much 💚💛🩵

😭😭😭 I don't think my heart can take another miscarriage, but I'm going to try to be positive and not go crazy next few days, that's the problem with testing early (no promises!) Honestly didn't expect a positive test, I've got no symptoms now. I was tired on dpo 4, stomach bubbling for few hours on dpo 6, and then quite a lot going on dpo 8 (small cramps, underboob hurting, wanting to pee but not peeing much), but nothing in between, so up and down.

Baby dust ✨✨✨

That's definitely positive! Congratulations lovely ❤️

missmae · 08/08/2023 12:53

@HelloMoon87 aww I know! But yes just try to relax now! Have me wanting to test 🫣😂 Will you test again tomorrow? Sending lots of sticky baby dust!! 💖

@missmae it's darker now, just did one after 3.5-4 hour hold 🙈🙈🙈

Thank you so much for replying @Tes004 given the level of activity on this thread, it looks like I would’ve been otherwise ignored. Took a boots test today with SMU and it’s negative 😭 so looks like it was an evap line. Gutted. Still no sign of AF though so slim chance and still having mild cramping, from one ovary then moves to the other ovary and some tightness around my previous c section scar 🤷‍♀️

missmae · 08/08/2023 11:39

@HelloMoon87 ah okay! Will you test again tomorrow?! Depending on your test you do later?

@SnookyPook ooo that’s reassuring!! still have time then! Yeah I’ve normally got my positives day of af but that’s because I didn’t test before then so idk if I would’ve got early positives! Last cycle was the first time for me to test before af I was a bit crazy last month, deffo more chilled this time!

Keeping everything crossed for you both!

SnookyPook · 08/08/2023 11:23

@missmae thank you! Yeah I used opk so pretty sure which 48hrs but I did think maybe I ovulated later in the window due to some signs so possibly day after the app put. Looking back my previous pregnancies got my BFP at 15dpo and they weren't strong so many still be in with a chance. I think I must be a low/slow HCG starter person! We'll know soon enough!

@longingtobe23 I'm sorry you've been trying for some time now. Have you had your partner tested? I know us ladies always think something wrong with us, but when we did lots of tests in June, the fertility specialist says it's just as common with men. And diet, vitamins can help with that X big hugs

Thank you ladies.

@missmae with all pregnancies, I only got positive at dpo 11. With my son, I got a good line (not same as control, just obvious line) at dpo 11. With 2 chemicals, I got one line at dpo 11 morning and another at dpo 11 night. Both were fairly faint.

OP posts:
missmae · 08/08/2023 10:19

@SnookyPook do you think it is possible you ov’d later? Do you track ovulation or just go off of your app? Keeping everything crossed for you! 🤞🏼there are people who don’t get a bfp until after af is due! X

missmae · 08/08/2023 09:20

*test lol

missmae · 08/08/2023 09:20

@HelloMoon87 yes good idea rest again later. Still early tho, what dpo did you get your positive with your last? I can imagine how you must be feeling, it is tough 😔

SnookyPook · 08/08/2023 09:06

@HelloMoon87 everything crossed for you lovely.

Meanwhile, in a bit of limbo here. AF was due yesterday. Usually like clockwork and still nothing. However did a test yesterday afternoon which was extremely negative. Not even a whiff of a shadow. Have some pre-period type crampy feels and I did think I maybe ovulated a day later than my app showed (maybe closer to the 24-36hr mark after my peak) which would mean more likely for today... So going to hold off today and see if she appears. Slight element of hope to hold on to is that my previous pregnancies were both detected after AF due at 14 and 15dpo and were squinters, so I'm not sure if they'd have shown earlier. I'm 13/14dpo today so if she doesn't appear I'll test tomorrow and who knows. Really don't know how likely it would be though to be completely negative at 12/13,dpo and then get a BFP! We'll see.

Hope everyone else is ok. X

I've got an event tonight, I was thinking of having a drink if I had BFN today. I think I'll test again this afternoon after 4-5 hour hold, fx for me. I really need to look after my mental health, dpo 7 and 9 were hard for me 😔

Thanks ladies. I'm dpo 10. I think in all likelihood it's an indent as I've seen so many posts on easyhome indents lately. I never had one but maybe the batches got worse this month.
