@Lila34830 oh no you won’t look ridiculous, at all, we’ve alllll been there every little niggle 🤣🤣🤣 I can’t wait for you to test!

@KT199 glad the pains have subsided and I agree with cervix!! Each time I’ve had positives my cervix is unreachable 🤣 if my husband saw the stuff I googled or did, he would think I’m actually insane 🤣

Lila34830 · 09/12/2024 09:39

KT199 · 09/12/2024 09:37

I think the pains subsided and call me crazy (because I legit feel it) I tried to check my cervix and I couldn’t even find it so hoping it’s a good sign it’s tucked well away! 😂 I’m trying to just calm my panic down, I’m so ridiculous so sorry for moaning to you all.

@Lila34830 SO hopeful for you, ahhhh please please please let this month be your month 🤞🤞🤞

😂 I don't think you're crazy at all !!! I would do the same !!

God if I have had all these symptoms for nothing I will look ridiculous, but we shall see !!!
You guys will very likely be one of the first to know 😅🩷

@Lila34830 eeeek excited for you!! 🫶🏼🫶🏼🫶🏼

Lila34830 · 09/12/2024 08:49

@Gemmaemilyx ok so I'll probs test Wednesday at 9 dpo ! 🤞🏼

OP posts:
Gemmaemilyx · 09/12/2024 08:47

@Lila34830 i got my very faint BFP on a clear blue ultra early at 9dpo in the afternoon, they were definitely clearer at 10dpo!! Xx

Lila34830 · 09/12/2024 08:35

@Gemmaemilyx See technically since my period is due Saturday I could do a 6 days early BUT, I am only 7dpo so I don't think it would show at all ??
I assume the 6 days early are for LPs that are 14 days long ? Mine is about 11/12 days long ...
which dpo were you on bfp ??

OP posts:
Gemmaemilyx · 09/12/2024 08:33

@Lila34830 I really am 😭😭🤣🤣 good plan with the FRER! My boots 5 days early and clear blue showed clear positives way before easy at home- they’re still really faint!

Lila34830 · 09/12/2024 08:25

@HE93C thank you lovely ! If this was implantation, it took ages 😂 if it was not and I end up having a bfn ill be so confused as I never cramp mid luteal phase 😂 I never symptoms spot as well so I will never trust myself ever again !!

@Gemmaemilyx 😂 you are the serial tester of the Dino club !
I might cave and do it on Wednesday... I ordered 2 FRER but I ran out of pre mom ones. I think it's for the best

OP posts:
Gemmaemilyx · 09/12/2024 08:21

@Lila34830 you’re doing so well not to 🤣🤣 I’d be doing 5 a day 🤣🤣🤣 I pray for you it’s positive 💋

@curliegirlie so sorry to hear AF arrived, hopefully you can have a chill Christmas and get your BFP in the new year 🫶🏼

@KT199 I’m with you on the anxiety it’s horrible, hoping the af pains subside for you!

I got a clear positive on the 25 sensitivity test today, which was really faint yesterday so I think I need to chill a bit and just take each day as it comes 🥰 gp suggested I get a blood test as soon as I get a positive test again though so going to give them a ring in a minute 🩷

good luck girls!

HE93C · 09/12/2024 08:04

At least the cramping isn’t as heavy @Lila34830 ive still got everything crossed for you x

Lila34830 · 09/12/2024 08:01

Morning dinos 🦕

@KT199 how are you ? Have cramps stopped ? As PP said as long as there's no blood I would not worry 🤞🏼

Anyone in their 2WW or am I the only Dino left this cycle ? 😅
Still cramping in my lower back but way less than yesterday. I'm 7dpo... boobs are killing.
waiting to test is so hard this month!
Period is due on Saturday !

KT199 · 08/12/2024 17:16

@Lila34830 @Gemmaemilyx The latest it was due was Friday, so technically only a few days late atm. I would be so sad as my lines haven’t just been faint 😟 but I did know this could happen so trying to prepare myself for the worst. I usually have AF arrive a day or two after this feeling, no bleeding as of yet but just feel anxious.

@HE93C yeah I am hoping it is nothing, but what’s meant to be will be.

@curliegirlie Sorry to hear AF arrived!! Hopefully next month is the month for you🤞

HE93C · 08/12/2024 15:56

@curliegirlie sorry you’re out this time, fingers crossed soon!!

I was the same last month as going to oasis in July and would have been due that day haha. Now if this one all goes well I’ll be going to oasis at 36 weeks pregnant 😂😅

maybe the more relaxed approach this month might help if you’re stressing less and got lots of distractions with Christmas etc. fingers crossed xx

Lila34830 · 08/12/2024 15:51

So sorry to hear AF arrived @curliegirlie 😔 new cycle, new hope 🤞🏼

I've been cramping all day, lower back, and a tiny bit in my lower bell, non stop !
No implantation bleeding though...
I'm only 6 or 7 dpo so I really want to wait before I take a test but I'm being obsessive atm. I actually ran out of pre mom ones last one, I guess it's a blessing in disguise 😂

curliegirlie · 08/12/2024 14:12

AF arrived today, meaning ovulation probably happened CD18, which theoretically should have worked out better, given DTD sessions on CD14, 16 and 17, but hey 🙄.

Congratulations @Gemmaemilyx! Lovely to read it's all worked out for you in the end! I hope the next 8 months go smoothly for you 🥰
@KT199 keeping everything crossed for you.

Despite all my fine words, I'm probably in for the next cycle, as I doubt I'm going to get my hands on contraception before Christmas and not going to get DH to wear a condom. In a way, a BFP next cycle would be incredibly awkward as we have tickets to a whisky festival in January and Oasis tickets for Sept, but I'd still rather a baby. But I doubt Sod's Law will work, as it hasn't the past nearly 3 years (and we've passed plenty of awkward months)....

HE93C · 08/12/2024 12:23

@KT199 when I was pregnant and had the MC all of my symptoms just made me think I was coming on my period, I didn’t even test till I missed the period as I was so adamant I was coming on! So you never know xx

Lila34830 · 08/12/2024 12:20

@KT199 awwww noooo, when is your period due normally ?? Some people experience cramping throughout the first trimester !

OP posts:
Gemmaemilyx · 08/12/2024 12:16

@KT199 oh no! When was your period due? I must say with my daughter I have multiple messages to my mum and sister saying I had period pains and was worried and all was okay! As long as there’s no fresh full flow blood I’d take it as it’s okay! A lot of weird and wonderful things happen in pregnancy and there’s a lot of stretching and implantingXx

KT199 · 08/12/2024 12:10

Fingers crossed for you @Lila34830 !!

Amazing to see @Gemmaemilyx 🫶🏻

I’m not sure if out of the dino club just yet, I feel exactly as I do before AF arrives 😟 real heavy feeling really low down in my pelvis/uterus!! Making me so on edge!

Gemmaemilyx · 08/12/2024 10:11

@Lila34830 i think 10dpo is a good time to test with an early sensitivity test!! It’s sooo hard to resist though 🤣 good luck and let us know how you get on!!

I know I’m in shock I didn’t think I’d get a bfp on a digital if im honest!

Lila34830 · 08/12/2024 09:44

Gemmaemilyx · 08/12/2024 09:43

Morning 🥰 I’ve got different tests so can’t really track progression but I have a good line on the easy at home, a VERY faint line on the clear blue, but it’s the 25 sensitivity instead of 10 early however ….

a positive on the clear blue digital!! I was apprehensive to use as I thought I ordered the early clear blue but didn’t. Still picked it up though!

quietly excited without trying to end up getting hurt if it goes tits up again🤣🤣 however it’s very different this time to CP

In my experience even though you’re 6DPO and know it’s gonna be negative I think it’s better in my head to get it out of my system 🤣🤣 I really hope this is your month 🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼 @Lila34830 xxx

OMG you got yourself a digital BFP !!!
I know you want to be cautious and that's understandable but I have a good feeling for you !!!!
🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼🩷🩷🩷🩷✨

@Lila34830 it’s so hard isn’t it!! Try wait it out as long as you can but don’t beat yourself up if you want to test!

it’s so hard to not over think symptoms too! I’ve everything crossed for you. When are you aiming of waiting until to test?

So hard this month, I think it was easy until I got the lower back pain (exact same as last cycle when I had the CP). Got my brain going !
Period is predicted on Saturday which would be 12DPO. I feel like it will be hard for me to wait that long this month so maybe Thursday at 10 dpo ?
I might go work in office all week to avoid my " ttc cupboard" at home 😂😂😂
