@Catren93 so sorry to hear that. Fingers are tightly crossed for you!

@Puddingpie1234 we’re at the same stage, I’m 8/9dpo too although you’ve got better patience than me as I’ve been testing even though I know it’ll be negative!

my cramps have ramped up a notch today so I’m thinking my body is gearing up for AF!

Puddingpie1234 · 12/01/2024 13:35

I will do @Catren93 , it’s nice to see people at the same stage! Feels like this week has been the longest week ever. Going into Implantation days now so hopefully we start to get some reassuring symptoms!!
fingers crossed for the weekend for everyone!

@BeautyAndTheBump1 congratulations those are great lines! 🥳 Have you done another one yet 😂?

I caved and did my frer this morning before work. BFN. Have to say I was disappointed having been awake much if the night with boob ache, just feels too early for this to be AF. I know it's still early, approx 10 dpo today, but I'm feeling less convinced it'll be good news this month now.

Also repeated my opk strip test just to see what happened and compare to yesterday's, and it was a lot paler today, so who knows why yesterday's was so strong. Perhaps I get a LH mini surge in the middle of my tww/before AF, or maybe some crazy double ovulation thing/slow fall in that hormone after ovulation. With COVID in play this month I'm not going to over think it but might see if it does it again next month purely out of scientific interest.

@BeautyAndTheBump1

Huge congratulations!!

10dpo and tested negative but I know it's still early. Hoping for my bfp over the weekend. I don't really have symptoms other that the is twinge here and there but that could be nothing. I had no symptoms at all with my first so I'm trying not to symptom spot too much!

Hoping to see some more BFP's in this group soon

Catren93 · 12/01/2024 11:42

Thank you 💚
Im planning to test Sunday too as that will make me 12dpo. Let me know how it goes!

Puddingpie1234 · 12/01/2024 11:34

Sorry to hear that @Catren93 ❤️

Puddingpie1234 · 12/01/2024 11:34

I think I’m 8/9 DPO today but resisting the urge to test. I’m thinking Sunday with a FRER but am so scared of being disappointed !!! What an emptional rollercoaster this is 😅

Bey · 12/01/2024 11:24

Congratulations @BeautyAndTheBump1 ❤️

MrsP20202 · 12/01/2024 11:07

@BeautyAndTheBump1 congrats !!! 🎉 that’s def a positive ! Indents don’t have colour and that’s a nice line so happy for you 🥲

Catren93 · 12/01/2024 10:51

Hi ladies!

Finally joined mums net after seeing how supportive the threads are.
Im 10dpo today and I’d love to join you guys for the rest of the TWW as I’m driving myself crackers!
I started temping last month and my chart is noticeably different this month but I can’t say which is my normal. I lost my pregnancy back in august at 11 weeks due to partial molar pregnancy and my bodies been a bit allover the place since.
congrats to all of you who have had you BFPs so far, amazing news 🥰

Sandwichesandwine · 12/01/2024 10:44

Definitely lines @BeautyAndTheBump1 congratulations!!
I slept terribly last night and have woken this morning feeling like AF is imminent any second. It will be a very short Luteal phase if it does so I hope not 😞

Sarah452 · 12/01/2024 10:23

@RW269 i hadn’t seen the Amazon own brand ones before - I’ve just purchased some (thank you). Arriving tomorrow so I’ll have to remember to save my morning wee in a pot somewhere for when they arrive 😂 I’ll only be 9dpo so realise it’s still very early! I read somewhere most women don’t get a positive until like 12dpo! I’m still convinced AF is en route though.

Racket81 · 12/01/2024 10:18

I Google symptoms a the time although I know them and don't need to Google. It's me obsessing.😂

Racket81 · 12/01/2024 10:16

Forgot to say I'm CD19 ovulated on CD17 so rigjt at beginning of tww. Been using clearblue ovulation monitor.

mumto1girlie · 12/01/2024 10:09

@BeautyAndTheBump1 i defo see the lines! congrats xx

RW269 · 12/01/2024 10:07

@Sarah452 100% googling symptoms is dangerous 😂 I fell into the trap the other day and I was like I must be, look at this then next thing it was like could just be normal hormones haha!
Ive been using the early tests but just switched to amazons own early tests, the reviews are really good for them and it’s 3 for £7 so I don’t feel so bad testing daily 😂 I’ll likely if anything shows on them at all until I’m due on or if I’m late do a first response /clear blue just to confirm haha

Racket81 · 12/01/2024 10:01

Definatley look possative to me. Congratulatiins. Keep us updates.

Racket81 · 12/01/2024 09:57

Thank you. Trying not to get down hearted as we can obviously conceive but I think my age is a factor. My partner is only 39 so 3 years younger.

Sarah452 · 12/01/2024 09:57

@RW269 yes I guess it’s natural because it’s our bodies! I’m trying REALLY hard not to symptom spot, especially as last time I didn’t have any symptoms (although maybe I did but because I was unaware I just presumed they were PMS), I’ve found googling symptoms though you’ll find cases of those symptoms ending in BFP & BFN. I guess everyone’s body is just so unique it really is a waiting game! Are you using early tests or just regular ones? I’ve got cheap ones and might order some FRERs if AF doesn’t show but I’m not sure how early you can use them!

RW269 · 12/01/2024 09:39

@Sarah452 Fully agree 😂 my husbands so excited and invested but he’s more of a “I’m not getting excited until it’s happening” whereas I’m like beyond controlling any emotions about it hah!
that does sound very lucky with your previous child! Haha you never know cramping can be a good thing too can’t it? This is our first we’re trying for so a bit in unknown water haha!

Sarah452 · 12/01/2024 09:27

@Racket81 to hear about your MC. Fingers crossed for this cycle for you! I have heard good things about acupuncture!

Racket81 · 12/01/2024 09:26

I'm 42 been ttc for 2.years. have 2 boys from 1st marriage 10 and 8. Had 1 pregnancy last year thay ended in MC at 7 weeks. Now on two for this cycle.. would love to join thread. Have accupuncture booked for next week to see if helps.

Sarah452 · 12/01/2024 09:20

@RW269 Yes it is! And the wait is just awful. Men really do get it easy don’t they? Even if they are fully invested in the decision they aren’t bearing all the emotions of this 😂 I’ve had cramping since ovulation, the last couple of months I’ve had cramping around ovulation then it’s stopped and nothing and AF has arrived with no warning! Seems different this month but I’m really not hopeful. With my first I had no symptoms at all, AF was over a week late when I tested but then we were very lucky as weren’t actively trying! Praying for a positive for you!

Bex4567 · 12/01/2024 09:14

Definitely lines bet a digital will shoe positive

RW269 · 12/01/2024 08:44

@BeautyAndTheBump1 I see a line too! Congratulations!! ✨
