@OneGladTiger @Em3009

Thanks girls, I'm really trying but it's just too good to be true when due to start IVF next month, I just can't believe it!

@Kay1578 how often are you still testing? I've dropped to twice a day after my positive clear blue but think I'll do another CB tomorrow then put everything away and just try and enjoy it and pray! 🙏🏼

nicolenorris · 18/11/2024 10:23

@Kay1578 😍😍😍 we love to see it!!

Em3009 · 18/11/2024 10:12

@Kay1578 OMG they are amazing! I can fully see them today 🥰

For me, the anxiety that this is a chemical is just too much 🙈🙈🫠 I have no idea how to stop the thoughts.

I'm feeling exactly the same. Especially as it's taken a while for my lines to darken but today they finally have. Well they have been slowly but they are defnately there today. No tweaking photos to make them visible or needing a flashlight. Tbh I think my batch of tests just doesn't have a lot of dye in and my smu works better than fmu for some reason
Hope you ladies are doing good xx

Morning girlies! CD36 and still no AF for me- usually comes in the morning. I've woken up with really painful boobs/nipples still. Last night I couldn't even spoon my partner in bed because it hurt my nips too much. If this is a new AF symptom I'm not happy about it 😂 no cramps at all though.

Em3009 · 18/11/2024 09:56

@greendot1 i think all you can do is keep yourself distracted the best you can 🩷

@OneGladTiger who’d of thought we would be asking for AF 🤣🤣

Ahh I understand the feeling, just remember, today you are pregnant! And worrying isn’t going to change any outcome. Just take it day by day but I know it’s hard 🙏🏻

Morning everyone!

how’s everyone feeling? 🥰

still no AF for me but the cramps are back so hoping it’s heading my way 🤣🤞

Same for me! My heart rate has also gone back down to normal but my temp is still high, expecting AF will come soon but I do have a twingey lower back! I miss AF now and want her to hurry up and arrive 😆

OneGladTiger · 18/11/2024 09:51

nicolenorris · 17/11/2024 18:09

Omg thanks for this! 🩷

I'm having some very strange boob sensations today. My boobs have defo got a tad bigger, they feel really heavy and swollen. They are hurting all over even by my armpits, and my nipples keep tingling and vibrating? 😂 really strange feeling. I've never had this before AF! I usually only get sensitive nipples but barely noticeable. Do you ever get boob pain before af? I'm trying not too look into it too much because I don't wanna get my hopes up 😭🥲 but still no sign of AF yet.

I get boob pain before AF but not nipple pain 😂 and this month I’ve had nipple but not boob! I also have an achey heavy lower back. I just want AF to hurry up and arrive now! CD32 today. I did an OPK this morning to satisfy my need to test and it was negative whatever that means 😂

@ohyesherewego I’m watching this thread as we’re planning on starting to try next month.

I saw a tiktok by Leanne Walsh/yardgirlmargate that explains if it’s taken 6 DPO it can help. The dose is 75mg and she says it’s safe to take it. I’ve also checked this on the NHS website and it says it’s safe to take too… throughout the pregnancy.

Do research though - it’s an interesting read. We’ve never TTC before and I’m 35 so I’m planning to do all I can to try and make it happen asap

another thread as it made me feel
more hopeful: "However, the science shows us that implantation most commonly occurs on days 8, 9, and 10 past ovulation. Since it takes a few days for hCG to show up in your urine, the earliest you could get a positive pregnancy test if your embryo implanted on day 8 past ovulation would be day 10."

Omg thanks for this! 🩷

AF due today still have only had the very light spotting on wiping.

@OneGladTiger I had literally convinced myself as well 😭 I still feel like I am even tho I'm having negatives. Haven't tested today tho, not gonna test now and see if af comes. Hope you are okay x

I feel the same! My cheapies were a few months old and the dye took ages to rise so I’m not sure how reliable they are to be honest! I’m going to do the same, if still no AF by Wednesday I’ll get a clearblue digital. I’ve had some lower back twinges today and bloating but that could just be PMS! Keeping fingers crossed for both of us 🤞🏻 x

AquaQuoter · 17/11/2024 14:40

Hey girls 13 dpo and dull achy pain in uterus. Think my AF is on its way. Gutted

Em3009 · 17/11/2024 11:11

@OneGladTiger i have seen plenty of people get pregnant before they return to normal so I’m still hopeful 🤞 just harder to track 🤦‍♀️ hopefully not too long for you to find out either way 🤞

OP posts:
OneGladTiger · 17/11/2024 10:40

@Em3009 Hopefully your cycles don’t take too long to go back to normal! 🙏🏻 I really hope there’s still time for me too 🤞🏻

Em3009 · 17/11/2024 10:23

@nicolenorris im also CD35 since my withdrawal after the pill and no sign for me either 🤦‍♀️

@OneGladTiger there’s still time for you 🤞🤞

Morning girlies. Still no sign of AF which is so strange 🤔 CD 35 today

I just did a cheapie test at 10dpo and negative 😭 I really had convinced myself I was pregnant!! I don’t have any tests left now so just going to wait for AF to show up in the next few days. If she doesn’t then I’ll buy some more 🤞🏻

@greendot1 Oh bless you 😔 fingers crossed all will be fine. But completely understand the worry! Will they get you in for an early scan to make sure?

I'm a bit crampy and just really tired 😴 little bit lightheaded/woozy too. But that's about it so far. Not looking forward to the nausea that I know will be here soon. Really struggled with nausea in my other two pregnancies. But it's only for a few weeks, just trying to remember that 😂

How about you?

I've no idea! First pregnancy but will advise GP in a few weeks and I guess take it from there!

We were about to start IVF so don't want to flag too early and lose our shot of funding 🙈

Super heavy boobs, not much appetite and tired over the last few days but bizarrely today they all seem to have been subsided! I'm glad though so I can actually concentrate on work today 😅

TinyShrew17 · 17/11/2024 08:23

@OneGladTiger I'm pretty impressed with the pink dye premom tests! Got a box of 50 off Amazon. How was your test this morning?

I'm feeling really stressed out as been having some pains. But doing a test every morning/evening and seeing that line progression is helping.

They look great 🤞🏻 I missed FMU so I’m drinking water waiting to need to pee again 😂 But I think I’m probably out as I’ve had some spots break out on my face and generally feeling a bit pre-AF however she hasn’t showed yet! I’m on day 31 of my cycle so I’d expect her to show any day now, last month my cycle was 33 days.
