@missmae I had leaking colostrum last cycle and got excited in case it was a sign. It wasn't but hopefully different for you! I've never had it before but did wean my son last November so I guess still relatively recent.

AF due today here... Not long to wait now!

Doodlestar · 07/08/2023 12:03

I think I'm 5 or 6 dpo now, after taking ages to work out what was going on this cycle.

BBT rise for last few days made things a bit clearer. I found temping made my sleep a bit disrupted as it was always on my mind in the night, I kept waking up and taking my temperature then realising it was like 2am...!

Last month my period came only 9 or 10dpo, so I think if I get to this weekend with nothing I will try testing then. Got a wedding to go to, I won't have much to drink either way unless AF has arrived but would be good to know!

Look forward to seeing how everyone else gets on in next few days 🤞🤞🤞

missmae · 07/08/2023 11:40

@BlossomTree123 hmm maybe!🤔😂 honestly not until af is due this time, so I don’t obsessively test and get let down if af shows. But I’m not 100% when it’s due… I think I’ll wait till the weekend! What about you?

BlossomTree123 · 07/08/2023 11:32

@missmae ooo the need to pee could be a sign! When are you planning to start testing?

missmae · 07/08/2023 11:31

@BlossomTree123 hopefully this is a positive sign for you! 🙏🏼
Just still so tired but keep waking up a few times during the night, especially to pee.

@HelloMoon87 still a tiny bit of liquid in my right nipple when squeezed. Only the right one tho. Was this the case for you, or was it both nipples?🤔

BlossomTree123 · 07/08/2023 11:15

@HelloMoon87 @longingtobe23 @missmae i think we are all similar timing. I am 7DPO and felt quite sick in bed last night and this morning. Had sickness with my first.

looks like a positive @longingtobe23 let us know how you get on today!! Looks good though!!! I really want to rest trying to hold off as a bit early but I’m desperate!!!

We are all in with a chance! It's quite early!

missmae · 07/08/2023 09:52

@longingtobe23 10 mins isn’t too bad I don’t think 🤔 I thought I could see some colour there though. Maybe use a different test and test again! X

@cosymama2020 i feel the exact same as you. As af came early last month I’m not really sure when I’m due, I’m 9dpo and I’m gonna say the end the week/weekend. But I dtd cd12/13/14. Think I ov’d cd15, but the bleed after my smear I think messed it up for me! So If anything it would be from cd12&13 swimmers so I do also think not this month.🤷🏼‍♀️

cosymama2020 · 07/08/2023 08:29

Think I’m out this cycle, only DTD once and was a couple of days before ovulation. Got my static smiley on the day we both went away for the weekend separately to stag and hen weekends 🤦‍♀️

fingers and toes crossed that you all get your BFPs this cycle ❤️

ttcthoughts · 07/08/2023 07:21

@HelloMoon87 We really are, I am hoping there will be lots of BFP's on this thread this month again.,

@longingtobe23 test again this morning, I see a line but I feel if its after the time it will be a indent. :( but I really really hope It is a BFP for you

@ttcthoughts we are due luck! It's a lottery isn't it, no matter what we do chance is max 30%.

@longingtobe23 oh gosh, I'd get a few different tests and try today. Keep us updated! This early, if the test showed like this, it is very promising. I'd get intent with easyhome more at 30 min mark, but 10 min mark it looks positive

Hi everyone! I took a break because AF arrived and stayed for a while. My LH seems to be dropping after a high few days on easy@home but still getting a flashing smiley and no static on CB. Not sure if I missed the peak on CB as there was a day I didn't test. According to easy@home I'm 1dpo so going with that for now!

How is everyone doing? It's great to see some BFPs!

ttcthoughts · 07/08/2023 06:26

@HelloMoon87

I hate those. We have had two MC this year so I feel like we are due some luck now haha!

I think im going to sack off testing again next month.

longingtobe23 · 06/08/2023 23:37

@missmae not until maybe 10 mins or more… so not instant sadly. But it’s certainly coloured 😔
not getting hopeful think it’s gotta be back luck j
however tomorrow was my official test day,
I do have some twinge pulling now led in bed. Brain won’t switch off!

missmae · 06/08/2023 23:21

@longingtobe23 oh wow! Very clear visible line there! Did it come up within time frame? Deffo test again in the morning?!

longingtobe23 · 06/08/2023 23:12

I feel like I’ve got a bad batch of these 😭 but just can’t help but blooooody think … what if!?!

I am only 8dpo… maybe 9dpo?! Urgh please tell me this isn’t a shoddy indent 😭
ps it’ll nail day tomorrow!

@Ecgx ahh bless you, it seems to be the most variable week indicator 3+ and I hope you get there soon without any stress. I would say to not test with the weeks indicator, but that would be hypocritical as I would do the same.

@missmae yeah I only get symptoms from dpo 8/9. I am not sure if the sore boobs (near the armpit) today is a symptom I've ever had. My toddler lied on it in the morning and I really felt it. The peeing is the consistent symptom I've only had when pregnant. I am feeling positive, hoping I haven't just made it up in my mind knowing I'm dpo 8 🤞 TTC and tww is awful isn't it

OP posts:
Ecgx · 06/08/2023 21:31

@HelloMoon87 im good thanks, hopefully 5 weeks ish yet.. still waiting for the 3+ on clear blue I don’t know why it’s just like a milestone in this journey! Even though I know the range is crazy! How are you doing? X

missmae · 06/08/2023 21:25

@HelloMoon87 ahh okay! Gosh how funny it’s also happened on the same dpo… I will still wait and see… not testing!!😂x

HelloMoon87 · 06/08/2023 21:20

@missmae sorry clearer as when I touched my boobs, they had a bit of milk on the nipples. Yep happened in the tww, from around dpo 8. But I only got my bfp in dpo 11.

OP posts:
missmae · 06/08/2023 21:02

@HelloMoon87 ah really?! clearer as in the fluid was quite clear, because mine is like cloudy clear? If that makes sense. Did it happen before your bfp?!

HelloMoon87 · 06/08/2023 20:18

@ttcthoughts yeah this cycle was the longest for me as I planned everything 😂 it was the most planned cycle I ever had. If I'm not pregnant this time, I'll just go back to the normal stuff 😂

I'll likely test on Tuesday morning. I wish I could wait till Thursday but honestly, it's unlikely.

@missmae I had that on the two cycles I was pregnant. Milk leaking. I also had that last cycle when I wasn't pregnant but it was clearer when I was pregnant. I did BF really long time (17 months) until last November, I started TTC in Dec last year, so I thought I was just residual but I still leaked milk in May when I was pregnant. I did a prolactin test at some point as I was worried it was causing miscarriages but it all came back normal.

ttcthoughts · 06/08/2023 20:11

@HelloMoon87 currently cd 12 I feel like this cycle is taking ages!

when will you test?
