So many people who have got positive pregnancy tests seem to have had some very early symptoms also, nausea, fatigue, metallic taste, back pain. I always tend to rule myself out by day 10 if I have none of those! I know loads have no symptoms but lately all I see are people with pretty obvious signs. I still test obviously but I don’t think I’d ever think I was pregnant now if I didn’t have some sort of sign after oversaturating myself with TWW signs/symptoms posts on here 😅

KT199 · 11/02/2025 14:52

Awww you can’t count yourself out already @Lila34830 !! 9 DPO is SO early, most implantation isn’t until 8 so you wouldn’t even have enough HCG to detect at 9 DPO!! Keep us updated, got everything crossed for you!

Lila34830 · 10/02/2025 09:56

@Toppstileslover you're too sweet !
I hope you're ok !! I am so glad you're perking up like the strong woman you are 🩷
Guys I've bought a digital clear blue ultra early - BFN. I am 9 dpo so I think it would have been positive surely as an ultra early if I was pregnant ! So I'm just gonna chill now! AF is due in 3 days !

Just realised I haven’t actually done a pregnancy test since my surgical management but I feel so emotionally balanced and have no bleeding that I cannot possibly 🤣 the hormones give it away!

i couldn’t touch my boobs when I was pregnant if that’s a symptom for you?! Xxxx

Toppstileslover · 09/02/2025 17:18

Still checking on you! Whilst thriving in my completely back to normal non hormonal non crying emotionally balanced self post MMC! I could even TTC! Only one week into waiting for my period to come back though so it’ll be a while yet.

Moving house / relocating this month and super busy with my new role so that’s helped me refocus and feel good.

Rooting for them rails/lines for you girls especially Queen of the dinos @Lila34830 🥰🥰🥰

Lila34830 · 09/02/2025 12:18

@curliegirlie They typically are valid from the moment they are clear without any streaks! I personally really like them and they predicted my ovulation right as I had a scan before to confirm recently. I'd say 3-5 minutes is a good timeframe ! X

Ooo do PreMom strips clear at 5 mins?! I use One Step and OpKs seem to take an absolute age -at least 10 mins - to develop properly, far longer than HCG strips in any case...

Clara202 · 09/02/2025 09:26

I’m in the waiting for ovulation phase! I decided to start using cheapie strips, and I’m wondering if you’re using the app for them, when do you actually take the picture of the strip?! Immediately after the line appears, a few mins later when the background is still pink or wait for it to be completely dry?

Good luck lovely !
I use premom yes ! So usually with the prep mom ones you take a picture at 5 minutes. This is when the "water lines" have disappeared and the test is clear ! Xxx

Morning dinos 🦕
Just thought I'd update the group, even if it's not that active atm, makes me feel less lonely in the 2WW 😅
I'm 8 DPO, and I've been cramping bad yesterday morning, in my back mainly (I get period pains in my back).
Boobs are sensitive but that's the typical luteal phase for me !
I'm holding on and not testing.
One thing I have noticed and I'm very confused about is that I have absolutely no CM ? So I don't know whether this is a good sign. I'm not dry, but I have no discharge if that makes sense.
Time will tell obvs and I'll let you all know .
I hope the pregnant dinos / and dinos on a break are doing well 🤍

I third that sentiment! The more dinos that get their double lines the more hope it gives the rest of us!

Lila34830 · 06/02/2025 21:42

@HE93C I second what @KT199 said !
It never bothers me to hear about other people ! Life blesses all of us in so many ways. I'm so happy things are going well for you xxx

KT199 · 06/02/2025 21:41

Aw @Gemmaemilyx I hope things are going well for you!! 💖

@HE93C oh my gosh don’t be so silly, you won’t upset or annoy me that’s for sure, I’m so happy you’ve got your little baba on board and would love to know that your getting on just fine. You’ve had your own journey to get here and deserve this 💖 please don’t feel like you can’t post here!!

Lila34830 · 06/02/2025 21:40

Aww thank you girls !
I'm sure @KT199 and I and the others will cross the finish line in due course, when life decides 🩷

OP posts:
HE93C · 06/02/2025 21:05

I never know whether to post as I don’t want to upset/annoy people that I am pregnant! But I’m lurking in the sidelines cheering you on too! Fingers crossed for everyone xx

Gemmaemilyx · 06/02/2025 19:42

I’m always checking up on dinos and cheering from the sidelines for everyone 🤞🏼🤞🏼🤍🤍

Lila34830 · 06/02/2025 19:23

@KT199 thank you lovely I hope you're recovering and enjoying the wedding planning 🤍🤍
I'm cramping but I don't think this is implantation as I'm only 5 dpo. Probably the classic progesterone symptoms ! I shall keep the group updated in case some busy dinos come accross it 😅

Thank you 🥹🥹 they moved my rescan to Tuesday next week from Wednesday this week due to an infection I’ve picked up but really hope this chapter can be closed then.

Ohhh no, not the confusing symptoms!! They’re so annoying 😂

Arghh yesss, I love our dino group but so many have been successful there’s not many of us left 🤣🥴

Good evening @Heartypandaa and other dinos 🦕
I am 5 DPO today, I've been really busy so time has passed quite fast for me so far luckily. My luteal phase is 12 days so I am really trying to hold on until 12 dpo to test ! Pretty easy on week one, let's see how I feel on week 2 😂
Hope you're all week xxx

Lila34830 · 01/02/2025 14:55

Well I think my instinct was lead by more ewcm !
So we DTD 4 - 3 - 1 day before ovulation ... I hope it will do... we shall see!
I hope
You're ok @KT199 🩷

Fingers crossed for you, would be lovely if so!! 🥹

I am thank you, just hope it’s all sorted now! X
