AF due 20th July / 5DPO - Who Wants to Test With Me??

[BambooBambii]

Hello!

Some of these threads are HUGE and I'm feeling a bit lost, so I'd thought I'd make a new one for anyone who is due their AF Wednesday 20th July (or thereabouts!) and are 4/5 DPO.

Symptoms so far
1-3DPO - Nothing
4DPO - sore boobs and lots of clear CM (sorry!)
5DPO - very sore lower back right in the middle, sore bbs + AF style cramps

A little about me... I've suffered x2 miscarriages over the years, one at 6 weeks and the other at 10 weeks (had a D&C). Horrible experience but hoping for a sticky bean this time! So technically I'm trying for my 1st.

Would love to know a bit about you as well and hope we can test together - and try to keep sane while waiting! Good luck everyone

olguitha that looks like a faulty test to me!

Hi janey

ahsan I know. It probably is faulty. But for a second there I nearly died. Now I'll wait til Thursday to test again. Hopefully it'll be better news.
I'm just addicted to testing atm cos I was so sure I was prego.

Have we had any bfps in this post yet?

Hi everyone!! So had a really crap few days, felt really unwell and loads of pain, which thankfully has completely subsided. Thank you for the kind messages, I'm feeling lots better now and ready to start prepping for August

Janey - welcome to the thread! You may have seen my AF came before the 20th (boohoo), but Fx for you! If not, gonna merge this into August thread too!
Olguitha - what an odd test! Could you try again with another type sometime today to make sure?? I really hope its a BFP!

I'm getting a bit confused with where we're all at, so gonna make a quick recap if you could copy & paste this and add where you all are at the mo (incase I've got it wrong)? Sorry if I've missed anyone! No BFPS so far

Mighty thank you for that list. I really wanted to know if any good news. It seems we are due some.
I'm gonna wait a couple more days to test.
I just had a proper cry on a water advert (what has your mum passed to you) so I'm just trying to avoid heartbreak.
Please other people test and tell me it can happen
Ps I wanted to tell you about my new self torture hobby: baby videos on youtube

Olguitha No problem, I was going back on forth on the thread like a yo-yo haha! Ok, well a lot can happen in a few days, you may very well get your BFP. And if not? We're here for you and we'll all skip into August holding hands
Noooo don't do it to yourself!! What you don't see is behind the scenes with the mountains of vomit and poo explosions I'll admit I often stalk the babywear aisle looking at little tiny booties. Ah, love me some little shoes! I get this type happy feeling in my chest when I look at baby stuff. But honestly, please try not to get too upset, it will happen, it can take up to a year in healthy couples so every month you have an excellent chance x

Hi Ladies! How hot is it today?! Thanks for creating the list mighty and glad to hear you're feeling a bit better now.
That test defo looks a bit dodgy olguitha so I wouldn't class it as a bfn. Hi Janey and Almo
So ovia said my AF was due yesterday as my cycles are usually 29/30 days but I think I ovulated later this month as I had a positive OPK on CD19 so guessed I ovulated around CD20? Im now CD31 and if my luteal phase is 12 days I think AF should arrive tomorrow/Thursday. Today I've had cramps in my lower back all day, my boobs are a bit tender and I've just felt exhausted. Last cycle I tested at 12dpo, got a bfn then AF arrived next morning so this time I'm going to see if AF is actually late. If it's not arrived, I'll test Friday 22nd which will be 14dpo and CD34.
Baby videos as in giving birth olguitha ?
My guilty pleasure is cute sleep suits and nursery accessories! I've secretly got a few things that I just love and can't wait to have a little one to share them with.

Just catching up! olguitha and mighty I loved the baby video/poo explosions conversation, a welcome laugh after a hard day!

Hello Janey!

Thanks for the summary mighty. I might copy and paste with an update this eve after I POAS! I have had one bfn bit too early really, just me being impatient! Think AF due in next couple of days (like poppy) so testing again with an early test tonight!

How many dpo are you almo ? I've only got one FR test so I'm frightened to poas too early! Will it be as responsive with it being later in the day or does it not really matter? Got everything crossed for you

Ewww nooo. Not birthing videos. More like cute baby hauls and like young baby life.
Like I love the michalaks with their little baby grayson. I'm mega sad

Ha ha ha! I was going to say! Ah Grayson is a cute name.

And the baby is sooo cute I just die every time. one of my faves here. Please cover your ovaries as they might explode

OOOooo! So cute!

I think I am 12 dpo poppy but could even be 13. I got a faint line on the Weds evening and then a strong one Thursday am, think that means Friday s0 12 dpo now? Apparently you can test any time, though morning might be strongest. I assume tomorrow morning is better but the extra half day probably means tonight is at lest as good as this morning.

I think Fri was when I ovulated too as my strong OPK was also on the Thursday. I'm counting Friday as ovulation then the saturday as 1dpo. Let us know how you get on!
That baby is so cute!

CONGRATULATIONS!! I'm so happy for you!

Oh! Are we talking faint lines on OPKs or HPTs?

Thanks for the list mighty and glad you're starting to feel a bit better

Still no AF here. If she's not here by Saturday, I will POAS

Oh just OPK, sorry for the false alarm olguitha!

Oh I thought she meant hot. .. sorry. I'm just starved for those results

Yikes - sorry ladies! Fx AF stays away purple Are you having any symptoms?

Oh! Oh! Oh! Guys! BFP!!

Yaaaaayyy almo huge congrats!

Maybe olguitha is psychic.

Ah! Trying to post a pic but dropbox wont sync haha!

You are the only people I can tell! I'm away with work until Thursday evening. Cant tell DP over phone, can I?

Yey!!! Huge congratulations!!

I think I would burst?! Will you be able to hold it in? Did you have any symptoms?
