Two week wait anyone?

Hi hope it's ok to post..
Currently 3dpo, last night and today had sharp pain/twinge on right side low down that lasted about 10 seconds. I know it's too early for symptoms but I can't help it!! Also very dry down below. Anyone else had this? Hope to see some BFP's on here.. spreading baby dust to you all x

I'm still way too early to test but still think I'm out. I need more positive thinking. AF is apparently 8 days away.

I had implantation bleeding with my two pregnancies so would expect it again.

@Aisling1010, I’d guess Monday night too!

@Aisling1010 I'd say Monday!

Has anybody experienced an increase in CM at around 8dpo? I've noticed it today but it's weird. It's clear, not as thin as watery CM but also not quite as thick as EWCM?

@Aisling1010 I would guess you ovulated monday as the first line looks darket than second on that strip.

I'm starting to cramp a bit too 😟 We're not out yet until it's actually here! 🤞🏻 Wishing you lotsa luck!

@moosey89 I’m not quite sure - my cycles are normally 28-29 days with ovulation on day 15-16, so I have a 13 day luteal phase. But I had a mc in Feb and ovulated late in this cycle, around CD20.

This is CD27 so normally I’d expect AF on Friday or Saturday, but if my luteal phase stays the same (which I think it should), AF would be due next Wednesday, so I really don’t know.

Cramps are quite bad now so I think it’s probably just AF arriving early. Gutted.

@JumpinJellyfish really hope that it's a good sign! When is af due?

Ffs just went to the loo and have a load of pinky browny tinged cm. I have never had this before - with some of my pregnancies I had implantation bleeding but it was just spotting, no cm, and when I’m not pregnant I don’t get any cm before my period starts.

I’ve got cramps now as well and it really feels like period is on its way but it’s not due until next week. Really confused 🫤

@Aisling1010 Hard to tell because they’re dried out. Sorry I’m not much help I find the strips so difficult to read lol.
I would guess ovulation day was Tuesday?

I would say Monday! Your surge could have started Sunday evening late! and then finished Monday pm!

Also, we didn't manage to BD on CD25 so I was testing a lot to make sure it was still there so we could CD26 😅😅 (yes I'm very anxious by nature 🤣)

My periods have been really weird. I've come off the pill end of Nov/start of Dec, had nothing all throughout December, it finally showed up Jan 8-12, then Feb 9-15 so had me believing I was getting into something regular and then nothing until March 16-21. I couldn't find my peak at all throughout March so I more or less gave up with the month.

This is the first month I've felt something around those dates in the pic also.

Edited to add: wow, picture quality really does get butchered upon upload 😅

@2BabyOrNot2Baby I am in the same boat I have no idea when my period is due really, my last one was messed up last month too. A normal 7 day period turned into a sporadic week and a half period, sometimes I wonder if I bring it on myself by obsessing about it x

@2BabyOrNot2Baby are you sure when you ovulated? I thought it was impossible to test positive at 8dpo (unless you actually ovulated earlier so aren’t really 8dpo!).

Tentative fingers crossed for you!

Ive been feeling a bit crampy and have been prodding my nipples until they hurt but overall trying hard not to get my hopes up. I think I am 8dpo today and definitely not testing until the weekend.

Ah I don't know, I just asked my husband (who usually cannot see things right in front of him!) and he says that he can see it (I know it's over the time frame but really does look the exact same), but not to read too much into it until I can retest. Which is completely fair and logical. Think I will definitely definitely be doing another tomorrow 🤞🏻

@deliwoman1 Congratulations! Super happy for you.

It was only a cheap own brand one I used too as I felt like I would've been testing over and over again, so didn't want to jump straight into the hard-to-get FR 🤣 that's exactly my worry too, I feel like I'm setting myself up for disappointment 😩 I think I'll definitely be testing again in the morning. I have no idea when my period is even due as my cycle has really messed me around last month! It's so easy to get wrapped up in it isn't it 🙈 wishing you all the luck!

Will you test tomorrow? I'm planning to use a FRER tomorrow on 9dpo! Used a cheap one today and maybe I see a line but also I think my eyes are just wanting me to see one, did not think I'd become this obsessed with pregnancy tests!

@deliwoman1 oh my god a huge congrats to you, I hope it goes well for you, get us updated xxxx

Also it's been lovely seeing the positives on this thread! Congrats ladies, 🤞🏻 for sticky babies! 💖

So
I caved today (8dpo, so, very very early I know but I just can't help myself 🙈) and tested with an early response. I don't think I can see anything looking at it, but when I hold my torch up against it from the back I can sorta see a little something? Just going to tell myself it's an indent until I get a proper answer either way 😶

@Optimistic66, I will have my fingers crossed for you. ❤Protecting yourself is really important. I test early because of the progesterone, but I wish I could be stronger and wait until things should be conclusive. It's so hard to see those negatives.

Thanks, ladies! Trying to stay positive. Even if the worst happens, at least I'm not peri-menopausal!

@Elisabeth3468 @Optimistic66, genuinely no obvious symptoms. No sore boobs, no increase in CM, nothing. I was super hungry yesterday but that's it, and I've never had that this early before, so probably unrelated. I found a pic of my 10dpo positive (same type of test) with DD though, and the line was brighter. I got 2-3 weeks on a clearblue by 14dpo with her. But I'm trying not to let that faze me today.
