Unfortunately, my BFP has now officially turned into a chemical. Devastated isn't even the word, so I'll be laying low for a while.

Wishing you all so much luck ❤️

BiscuitDreams · 12/01/2024 12:52

@starryx Sorry to hear you're out. I was convinced you'd get a BFP, but I've been there so many times myself thinking this is definitely it, only for AF to turn up later. I hope you're ok. At least you can start a fresh cycle and maybe this one is the one! Fingers crossed. 🌻

I'm 9dpo and obviously tested. Completely white. Don't feel any different either so I don't think this is my month either. Maybe February is the magic month.

Yeah I'm definitely out

Oh no, I’m so sorry! To be late and with symptoms, is so so disappointing. How are you feeling? When you feel as if you’re definitively pregnant, it is even more disappointing.

As for the long cycle, either illness/stress, or it was an early miscarriage.

Sorry @starryx , I find when I'm ill during the month my cycle can be extended....
I remember you posted about feeling off round time of ovulation....
I'm so sorry its can be very disappointing I've been there....I should ovulate tomorrow so here we go again...
Be kind to yourself and try keep the faith..a new cycle ahead...

Thank you for these words :) and yeah that's true I was extremely flued up during ovulation so that wouldn't of helped. Fingers crossed for you 🙂

Well unfortunately I went to the toilet and saw blood so I think this is the end of the potential :/ ill update next time I go toilet but I reckon this month is now gone

But don't know why I have had a sudden 34 day cycle with no real reason to as why?

Hello! Im back - so sorry for silence! Nice to see lots of lovely newer names - nice to meet you ladies! My story - i’ve got one DD3 and we’ve been trying for number 2 since the summer. One CP and no luck, yet! Had a big holiday i december, no baby luck. The only positive I came home with was an LFT, and covid has knocked off my feet for a month which is why - for those of you that remember me - I’ve been so quiet! Hope you’ve all been well - huge congrats for those with good news and big virtual cuddles for everyone else.

The only thing I have done apart from sleep over the last month is DTD (lol!). Although I think it’s unlikely my body would let me conceive in the state I’ve been in, I am in the TWW with you. We didnt want to miss a month. Unlike @starryx, I have no will power! AF due monday, tested today and negative but I’ve got sore itchy boobs and that knowing feeling I had with my first… as my test was a stark negative I might treat myself to a glass of wine later - it’s our anniversary and hubbie is cooking, I’m sure a small red won’t derail things - BUT if I’m revolted by it then that’s another potential sign…

I’m determined not to test until at least Monday now (you can have a solid bet I will haha).

@starryx please get a test today!! Got everything crossed for you lovely xxx

My LH just isn't rising this month. I usually get my peak CD 12. CD 14 today and ovulation tests are super low. I'm frustrated!

starryx · 12/01/2024 06:08

Haha thank you! Definitely been hard to hold this long as I'm now I think 4 days late and I ain't tested yet. I've got a busy day and no tests yet - as it's someone's birthday today I might have to hold till tomorrow 😭 which anticipation is killing me. My boobs are sore as. I'd be surprised if I didn't get a positive honestly.

@starryx also thinking of you today....

Back to creamy white discharge, feeling dizzy, went to sleep about 7pm last night. I definitely think it's test time as I'm 2 or 3 days late now and I'm craving kfc 🤣.

I'm baffled at your willpower to be late and not test.

Have you done one yet?

Jojo1203 · 11/01/2024 19:10

Horray! I got a definite BFP today. (I think 14dpo)
Personally I don't rate the cheap pink strips .. I've had extremely faint squinty lines the past 2 days on them.. so decided to buy a CB & this came up almost immediately!
Super excited, but very cautious after prev MC back in sept .. just trying to stay positive & hope for the best🤞🏼
Current symptoms are just mild cramps for 4 days (I think when it must've implanted) & sore boobs on/off.
Congrats to the other ladies with their bfp & baby dust to you all ✨x

siobhanmt247 · 11/01/2024 16:08

@Beth621 yeah I see the line :) it doesn't look like an evap. Mine wasn't, I got my digital 2-3 today

Beth621 · 11/01/2024 15:48

Did yours end up being positive or evaporation line? X @siobhanmt247

Beth621 · 11/01/2024 15:48

@siobhanmt247 Thank you for the reply.. I really am not 100% sure I think it probably was after the time frame but maybe by a few minutes? Can you see the line?! I just need to do another test really but if I do that and it's negative because this is an evap line..then that's my dreams crushed for another month 😆so I'm hanging onto hope

siobhanmt247 · 11/01/2024 15:40

@Beth621 how long after the time frame did you check. Mine had a very very faint line at 5 min but was barely visible. They looked stronger after the time frame

Beth621 · 11/01/2024 15:29

First time posting on here and so apologies if I'm hopping on the wrong thread.
I've been TTC since August, i sadly suffered a MMC..I've taken a teat today, 10 DPO and early to be testing but I can see two lines but I think it was after the timeframe but I'm not 100%..I assume evaporation line but does anyone else think differently? Living in hope

I had cramps today, due AF Monday 👀 also still lots of discharge, got a pad on because its so heavy. I'm only 7dpo though (according to Flo and strongest OV test), so need to wait and see. What's the earliest you can test for accurate result? Can you tell I'm not very patient 😆

CharLdn · 11/01/2024 14:38

OK cool I might just wait for my period as my cycles vary in length a bit

SMD16 · 11/01/2024 13:50

I'll probably tests around 12/13 DPO if no AF yet

CharLdn · 11/01/2024 11:48

Are you guys testing early or waiting for late period my cycles vary in length so I’m day 23 but have had 33 day cycles before…

could be a while.

SMD16 · 11/01/2024 10:22

@RhubarbCrumble12345 congratulations! I also found the Tesco ones super weak for showing!

RhubarbCrumble12345 · 11/01/2024 09:48

Thank you ladies!! Fingers crossed for everyone! Xx
