Awww @Brianna4kd congratulations!! Fantastic news 😀😀

Brianna4kd · 11/02/2024 16:34

I won’t be posting my line progression unless it is requested as I know how it feels to want your BFP so badly and have to see someone else’s. Yes you are happy for them but it doesn’t necessarily make you feel good about your situation if you are getting bfn

Brianna4kd · 11/02/2024 16:32

I can’t believe it. I will now be checking progression with internet cheapies. I will get bloodwork done tomorrow (results by Tuesday) and have an ultrasound booked to make sure pregnancy is in the right location. I am excited and terrified at the same time

Interesting! I’ve not been eating particularly well this weekend which I think is contributing to it 😂

Did you ever have ovary pains post-ovulation in the TWW with your other pregnancies? I’ve been getting twinges and had a day where it felt like a stitch across my lower abdomen. But 4 DPO seems too early for all of that, right?

Everyone is different but I swear I had a feeling by 5dpo that I would get a BFP to be honest. I understand hcg may not be present until after implantation but something most definitely happens during fertilization. I think the feeling with the ovaries would be the Corpus luteum though.

Starrysky812 · 11/02/2024 15:09

@purplecolouroffunk yes 8dpo today. I've been having those twinges since 3dpo and I've read they can be hormonal so I guess they could start anytime in theory! I've also had a strange taste in my mouth today and yesterday but I'm probably just symptom spotting. You know what it's like when you just become hyper aware of everything. And then I'll feel like an idiot for sharing that I had a sore butt, whenever af arrives! 😂

purplecolouroffunk · 11/02/2024 14:38

@Starrysky812 ooh reading back just realised you’ll be 8 DPO today!

@Brianna4kd my goodness, that must've been so hard for you. This must be a worrying time but what wonderful news. I'm sure everything will be fine. Look after yourself ❤️ That's great to hear that you had cramps and twinges as I'm having them lots! Every day. They're more aches and twinges than cramps so not exactly like AF pains, but still very similar so I'm hoping it's not a bad sign! I also had a sore butt yesterday so fingers crossed 🤞

I’m having these types of twinges too! Almost like wee shooting pains, but not too sore? It doesn’t feel like the usual AF on the way type cramps. How many DPO are you now?

purplecolouroffunk · 11/02/2024 14:27

Brianna4kd · 11/02/2024 13:15

Now that I think about it… 7 and 8 dpo I was extremely gassy. I didn’t even think of it as a symptom but most definitely is not the norm for me. Also 9dpo my stomach was really sensitive and not in a nauseous way.

@ChyLL due AF on Friday so I'm going to test fmu Wednesday. I've got an early result clear blue so hopefully should be accurate 2 days before AF. I've also been getting sharp twinges from time to time. Let's hope it's a good sign for us both! 🙏

Hi 👋 I’m only 4 DPO and already trying not to symptom spot too much 😂 I’m definitely run down too, sore throat, sneezing etc. but might just be run down.

Had strange ovary twinges last night but now I’m thinking it might have been connected to wind lolll. Anyone else get that?! No boob pain at all.

I usually get spotting from around 7 days before AF so I guess we’ll see if that comes or not. Annoyingly it’s usually around the time implantation would be 🙄

@Brianna4kd first responses are SO expensive now I saw on Amazon its 2 for 18 pounds when i bought that same pack for 6 pounds a year ago. I think I saw somewhere they have been discontinued in the UK as not in boots etc anymore.

I've sent DH into boots today to get the boots own brand as I've heard its meant to be just as good?

Hes just called confused and asked if i wanted clearblue 😅

I don’t think they sell boots brand in Canada. Good luck with your testing. Bring on the BFP

purplecolouroffunk · 11/02/2024 12:35

@Brianna4kd your FRER does look positive!! Eeek! 💫💫

@Starrysky812 when are you planning on testing? When I woke up this morning I thought to myself this time next week I’ll be up and testing! I’m so nervous and I know the anxiety will really kick in this week.

I’ve been have some symptoms but could be anything really. I keep getting sharpish twinges if I stand up to fast and things.

Brianna4kd · 11/02/2024 10:21

Starrysky812 · 11/02/2024 07:29

@Brianna4kd have you noticed any symptoms this month? Have you had any twinges or cramps? Xx

Since ovulation all I’ve had is twinges and cramps to be honest. At least every other day but nothing severe. Sometimes on the left side, right side, middle, and past 2 days randomly kind of in my butt. Aside from that my breast aren’t necessarily sore but they are more sensitive. I don’t really cry during sad movies etc but i did yesterday so emotions heightened for sure.

Brianna4kd · 11/02/2024 10:17

Starrysky812 · 11/02/2024 07:13

@Brianna4kd that frer does look positive! Congratulations!!! ✨❤️

Thank you very much I’m just hoping everything will go well this time around. The last time I got pregnant I had an etopic which also resulted in the removal of my left tube therefore I’m truly hoping for the best outcomes.

Brianna4kd · 11/02/2024 10:15

FullMoon1917 · 11/02/2024 06:52

@Brianna4kd ooh that FRER definitely looks positive! My eyes keep showing me that theres something on the cheapie but then when i look again i doubt it but given the FR, id say you are! Congratulations!!!!!

I am currently only 6dpo and absolutely dying with the anticipation! Feel very run down so i am either getting sick or potentially pregnant.....

That’s exactly how I felt. I kept second guessing the internet cheapie and decided to try the FRER. I still can’t believe it… I’m so tempted to buy a whole bunch of first responses but they are so expensive so I’ll just track progression with the internet cheapies until I can get an appointment.

Yes, with multiple pregnancies I’ve had that experience. They say your immune system weakens so your body won’t try to fight the pregnancy.

Fingers crossed you will get your bfp as well

Starrysky812 · 11/02/2024 09:59

@ChyLL I ovulated either 2nd or 3rd I believe. It's such a long wait isn't it! Keeping everything crossed for you. For all of us! 🤞❤️

ChyLL · 11/02/2024 09:15

@Starrysky812 I believe I ovulated on the 2nd but I’m planning on testing on the 18th. I know if I start testing too soon I’ll go a bit crazy.
