Well @KT199i think it’s af full flow as I’m in pain and it’s looking bright red ! So I’m out, and for a while ! But it’s ok ! 🫶🏽

Aw no way @Toppstileslover that’s rubbish! Keep yourself busy and rest up if AF is not being kind to you!

@Lila34830 sounds hopeful, but completely get not wanting to get too excited just yet! I guess if implantation just happened you’ll have a faint positive test in a few day!

Lila34830 · 27/05/2025 16:05

I went to the toilet and I just had some pink spotting … nothing on my knickers, just on the toilet paper …!
AF due Thursday if I go by the usual 11 days LP, so could be a short LP and AF on its way ! I don’t want to get my hopes up and say implantation. I don’t spot before AF though. Didn’t expect this to be that eventful so far 🤣

Hi girlies! Toppstilelover is not BFP I was just living my best Reno life with a paintbrush lol

AF started at 0530 (puppy lyfe) and is so painful! Like worse than when I had the miscarriage! So maybe i had a chemical

Will DTD every other day again from end of the week after as I definitely had a chemical before I had the bfp last time

What else can we do!

No doing FRER early tests again either, waiting for AF! I am a control freak and it freaks me out I can’t go and buy a baby in Tesco now I am ready in life so I very much accept I can’t control this situation (plus better to DTD before ovulation not on day of — father in law says!)

sending spangles for Thursday to my girlieeee @Lila34830 😍

Lila34830 · 27/05/2025 10:41

“ graduated “ 🥹
im secretly hoping @Toppstileslover isn’t replying because she had her bfp. At least one of us !
i am in 2 minds as I would be over the moon but also if negative I’ll be totally
ok as we have a project we’d like to achieve so it will all meant to be whatever it is.
in any event, I shall share it with the group 🫶🏽

@KT199@Gemmaemilyxi had FRERs which were stark white but that was at 7/8 dpo where sometimes implantation hasn’t even occurred. We shall see …!10 dpo today for sure, I don’t temp but I had my LH peak Friday 16, lot of ewcm sat 17 and a v low (almost white) LH Sunday 18 assuming progesterone took over.

For sure, I think 7/8 DPO is so early for things to show. From memory most of us who got positive tests were from 10DPO onwards!!

I do wonder how some of the other dinos are getting on that graduated a little earlier actually!!

Also, not heard from @littlebluu it would be good to know how your doing!!

I think if I was to ever try again I’d try be more relaxed initially as BBT, peeing on sticks ect was soo consuming!! I say this but I’m also a control freak so, doubt I will also 🤣

Not sure on the itchy nose being a symptom but who knows 🤣🤣 anything is possible!

I agree with @Gemmaemilyx CB and Boots on both my positives were very obvious. The cheapies there was also a clear line but I don’t really find them too reliable as so many people get nasty evaps and indents!

Gemmaemilyx · 27/05/2025 10:08

I found that I got an obvious BFP on the CB early but the cheapies were questionable (real squinters!!) at the same DPO - even though they’re both the same sensitivity! Boots early are really good too! Although, the CB gives bad indents, when it truly is a BFP it’s super obvious! Xx

Lila34830 · 27/05/2025 09:17

Very true @KT199! One of the unusual thing I’ve had - the only unusual thing
really cause the rest is typical pms - is since 7/8 dpo I’ve had an itchy nose 🤣 maybe it’s allergies! I normally don’t suffer from hay fever. It’s like sneezing sensation but I don’t always sneeze. Very odd!

OP posts:
KT199 · 27/05/2025 09:14

Fingers crossed for you @Lila34830!! I think not testing helps with the mental game so I’d hold off as long as you can. It’s more likely to be a final answer too the longer you wait.

Any update from you @Toppstileslover? I think you said you was due AF today right?

Lila34830 · 27/05/2025 08:08

Thank you I shall keep the thread alive for a few more days 🤣🩷

OP posts:
HE93C · 27/05/2025 07:39

Yeah it’s deffo a whirlwind! I’ve everything crossed for you and like you say you’re more relaxed this month and less pressure! Xx

Lila34830 · 27/05/2025 07:33

No you’re totally right ! But equally I read some people getting bfn on FRERS and bfp on CB digital ? So odd !
when I had my CM I tested positive at 11 dpo I think ! (Checking
flo ….) yes I did !
my luteal phase is 11 days so it’s always quite tricky to know when to test because I feel like waiting for AF due only makes you 11dpo comparing to someone with a 14 day LP where they would have a strong chance of a positive test if actually pregnant !

OP posts:
HE93C · 27/05/2025 07:29

It’s so annoying isn’t it!! Everything gives conflicting info!
I just didn’t want you to be disheartened if you got a negative like I did in case it was just too early! X

Lila34830 · 27/05/2025 07:25

@HE93Carfff this is the only test I have left and I really don’t want to waste more money 🤣 I read sensitivity is 10miu like the cheapies so idk anymore..! Because if I buy cheapies and I am not pregnant this cycle we won’t be ttc for another year as we said we were taking a year off !
decisions decisions …. Alternatively I could test on Thursday when AF is due ?

Lila34830 · 27/05/2025 07:12

Hey fellow dinos, 10 dpo for me and it now feels like it’s been 84 years (lol).
im in the office today so it will keep me busy. Thinking of testing tomorrrow. I have 1 CB digital ultra early.
AF is due Thursday. I feel fine no crazy symptoms, my usual PMS back cramps and slept terribly last night with nightmares ! Which can be AF coming for me. we shall see !

Don’t know if this makes a difference but when I was trying and because I’m crazy obsessive and was testing every day I used the cheap HCG strips and the first day I got a positive I did a Clear Blue extra early too and that wasn’t showing positive for another 2 days! Think it was around 11DPO on the cheap test and 13 on the CB xx

Eeeek good luck @Lila34830 !! On my bfp that stuck I had NO symptoms apart from pinching the night before my first positive test at 9dpo (albeit super light) so I thought I was totally out! Xxx

Thank you lovely !
8dpo, BFN on FRER this afternoon on an hour hold. I am so relaxed this cycle though weirdly, like a very peaceful feeling where my heart doesn’t pound when I’m waiting to check the test, which I like I must say!
I will not test tomorrow and wait until 12 dpo I think !
i just have normal pms symptoms, occasional back cramp, sore boobs and headache, textbook PMS for me so we shall see!

@Toppstileslover bodies do the weirdest things when we kind of don’t need them to !
I have ordered 2 FRERS. I am only 8 dpo tomorrow , period is due on Thursday so I am planning on testing Monday … 9 dpo !

Girl I’m so sorrry!
i think you said you didn’t track ovulation this month so you could be super early Post ovulation?
im 7dpo. I’ve had the worst back cramps all day yesterday and I was woken up by a pain / burning sensation in my uterus that lasted about 2 minutes tops. Did an early test too and obvs negative 🤣
so now I have to buy more tests since I only had one in the house 🤣 I don’t have sore boobs or anything like this so maybe it’s just progesterone ramping up for AF and nothing else on my side

Same!!!! I literally never have even a period twinge and I genuinely got woken up by cramping earlier in the week. So strange. The even weirder thing is I had a sip of wine the other day and just couldn’t drink it. Anyway I’m now clearly crazy. It’s fine and the first time we tried but just very strange as I have felt so funny!

bodies eh 😀

Lila34830 · 24/05/2025 07:42

@KT199@Toppstilesloveri guess the next few days will tell!!

Oh no that’s so rubbish to hear @Toppstileslover and @Lila34830

Hopefully it’s just that your both too early for it to show on a test just yet. 🤞🤞
