Okay ladies caved again, no doubt this time about the line. Still don’t know if I believe it, going to wait until Monday until period due test again and tell my husband! It’s hard keeping a secret!

@lauren19890 oh no that’s a shame, but the temptation just takes over!

is it just me the last 10 days have went so fast but the wait to Monday to when my period is due feels like forever !

I keep losing my symptoms and gaining them again so it’s a real mind game

I know! So frustrating that so many symptoms cross over! Lots of over thinking happening.

The idea that this is all for our period to arrive breaks my heart when i think about it. 🥺

I’m crampy with back pain, too! Also feeling nauseous. Cramping with my first sign with my first so fingers crossed!

Hows everyone feeling today?

Period is due in 5 days and im trying to hold of until the day after its due to test as last time was a chemical so dont want to be disappointed.

Awful metallic taste in my mouth today and so emotional yesterday!

Interesting about the stuffy noses! That has been me randomly in the morning!

This sounds promising!

I shed a tear at The Scarecrow’s Wedding this morning and also has to run to the loo earlier, stomach feels a bit on edge. Hmmm. I hate that all of this could be normal/PMS, I’ll feel so stupid

@Biyobio@lauren19890keeping fingers crossed for you both too! ✨🤞

I also have some clear blues so thinking maybe I’ll try those Saturday/Sun! I just used the amazon cheapy strips this morning

Biyobio · 14/08/2026 08:12

@rubywho12 that sounds promising especially for 8 / 9 DPO. Hopefully should become darker in the next day or two.

I'm so crampy this morning and heaviness on my front and back so will use the early detection tests too.

@lauren19890i had my positive OPK last Monday. My oura ring thinks I ovulated Wednesday and natural cycles thinks Thursday so I’m either 9DPO or 8DPO. Mine have literally been very negative up until this morning and this could be an indent for all I know!

Hi ladies, may I join you? TTC cycle 1 with baby number 2. I’m 5dpo and have been symptom spotting/mumsnetting NON STOP FOR DAYS. Only thing I’ve got to go by is a slight pulling sensation and a really quick, strong stabbing pain last night. I got my BFP at 12dpo last time so a whole bloody week to wait to test 😭

I’ve got a stuffy nose tonight and remember reading that as a sign before. That or I’ve just got a cold lol.

Redheadx · 13/08/2026 20:19

@Vwhite i tested 10 DPO but it’s very faint now I’m driving myself nuts, try and test on the day of your period if you can

@Biyobio i know can’t believe it’s came to the end.

hoping good luck for us all

Redheadx · 13/08/2026 20:18

@lauren19890 i know what you mean since I had that VVFL I now feel very pregnant even though I didn’t have any symptoms, the hot flashes, the tummy ache! Not sure if it’s a mind game now, I’m going to hold off testing until Monday again.

Vwhite · 13/08/2026 19:02

Hi all i had a peak ovulation test on the 7th but positives from the 6th until the 9th. I think im either 6 or 7 dpo depends if you count from first one or peak. Either way im in the limbo tww this is my first cycle since my miscarriage on 21st july. When is the earliest you all testing?

Biyobio · 13/08/2026 12:13

@rubywho12 Im going to try best to hold out until Saturday.

Hopefully we all get the news we so want
