Two week wait anyone?

Think I’m out as blood is now red.

Really weird as looks like AF is actually early, and I never usually spot before it arrives…I guess things are still weird after the mc. Onwards and upwards to the next cycle and good luck all!

@Aisling1010 it's still very early and those strips aren't great to be honest...
this is why I'm not testing though, I cannot bare to see that one line.
My boobs are achy today which is very unusual for me but it's probably my body gearing up for a period. I really don't get my hopes up after the journey we've had. Period is due next Friday. I'm away on holiday Monday to Friday. So if no period I'll test on Saturday when I get back. I'm sure it will come right on time though.
I sound so pessimistic but just after what I've been through it protects my heart.

Hi @Alex900 have a look at this article - the diagram is especially helpful:

https://www.babylist.com/hello-baby/implantation

Implantation usually happens between 6-10dpo (most often 8-9dpo). Before that the egg is just floating through your body! It’s impossible to get any symptoms of pregnancy before implantation, so if you are 3dpo the symptoms can’t be related to that (if you are right about when you ovulated). Maybe it is delayed ovulation pain?

Best of luck this month!

I’m looking for some reassurance ladies. I’m 3dpo first time TTC since a decade ago. My ovulation date according to period tracker was 16th but fertile window 11-17th I DTD everyday but on the 15th during DTD my usual ovulation cramps started. I have ovulation pain every month and my period tracker has been right on guesstimated period days barring one either side for the last 7year barring one cycle. I felt cramping yesterday in my abdomen and have cramps like shooting pains down there today. My right nipple hurts when touched I can’t help but feel like I’m fully overthinking the whole being pregnant thing and I’m looking for things that may or may not be a “sign” I don’t think I would get caught this month with it being the first time actively trying guess I’m just overly hopeful 🤷🏼‍♀️

Im so sorry @Aisling1010 - bfns are cruel.

I did a workout this morning and had a load more brown spotting afterwards and now more cramps. Obviously really hoping it’s related to implantation but I think increasingly likely I’m just gearing up to a weird and shitty period after my mc. Uncertainty is the absolute worst though.

@JumpinJellyfish I'm hoping it's still a bit early, according to Flo I'm now a day late so I will try and wait until Sunday to test again

@AG1993 I think if your cycles are a bit irregular then there’s every chance it’s still too early to test - fingers crossed!

Ive always had a positive at 10dpo when I’ve been pregnant. I’m 9dpo today and woke up at 4am with cramps (and my DD coughing!) but they’ve gone now and no more spotting either. Going to resist the urge to test tomorrow and wait until Sunday though…unless my willpower totally fails me as I’ve got 2 tests in the cupboard!

Happy Friday all!
9dpo and no symptoms apart from being sooo tired but have woken up full of cold so it's probably that. I also feel really emotional and tearful but that's probably my personality LOL!
I won't be testing at all I've decided I'm just going to wait for my period x

@Optimistic66 hopefully it works out for us, I won't test again for a couple of days, I don't even know when my period is due because it was messed up last month so it's just a waiting game but still disheartening when you get a negative

@Aisling1010 are you testing today?

I'm 11dpo - tested yesterday and BFN not even a shadow of a line so a bit down.

I am having sharp twinges and sore boobs but also at this point dont know if im imagining it. I'm going to try to refrain today - seeing that negative is so triggering.

@AG1993 - I have through my scrolling of millions of posts seen many people get BFN on day 11/12 and then still go on to get positives at 14 etc. I think it depends on when you implanted. Although saying this -i tested negative at 10dpo and feel like i'm out this month.

I am now 11/12 dpo and still testing negative. Is this still too early or just I should wait for AF? X

AF due 29th.. last few days I've been weeing more, fancying more tea than in china and been a tad achey round the waist and back.

Had a mc in Jan.. so don't want to get my hopes up!

I woke up today 8dpo and I felt like my boobs were actually a bit less sore than normal, so I really just have a lack of symptoms. My BBT was higher though. Then later today I had some sharp cramps, but again it could just be me noticing things I normally get during a cycle. A little upsetting that there's nothing definitive or obvious - in my last two pregnancies, implantation was super noticable. The first one I had spotting, and the second one it was so painful that I definitely couldn't miss it.
It just feels like things are way too mild and normal. Will be sad to see a negative, so at this point I sort of just want it to hurry up.

I've been a bit crampy tonight. They just feel like baby period pains though 😟 I've been flicking between being so, so hungry and feeling sick at the smell of some stuff. Doesn't feel anywhere near as strong as it did when pregnant with my son though so trying to pay it no mind. How have you managed to resist the urge to test 😯

@JumpinJellyfish ooh that might have been an implantation bleed for you!

@Aisling1010 Just sore boobs here. 6DPO today so wouldn’t expect to be feeling any symptoms yet.

@2BabyOrNot2Baby that’s exactly the kind of CM I had earlier, except it was tinged kind of browny pink.

Ive had really bad cramps all afternoon to the point I put a pad in and ate a massive bar of chocolate feeling sorry for myself, but it seems to have eased off now and no more of the spotting. Could be a good sign or could be a really weird AF after the mc 🤷🏼‍♀️

@Aisling1010 Hard to tell, could be late Monday or Tuesday. Did you have any other symptoms?

I had my peak on Monday and the usual pain later the same day, so I'm taking that as my O day.
