Wow pebble they must be super fertile! But then again, you never know how long someone has been trying. We just have to suck it up and be happy for them, just like we hope they'll be for us eventually.

Girls I am like 6 days post ovulation, according to strips, I felt it was earlier. I bought some eBay cheapies, obviously being a mentalist I've peed on them and the little strips are all (obviously) neg but then this happened, came up instantly......I feel sick, shouldn't have done it x

Congrats on the BFP - it's definitely there! I can imagine you don't know when is clear to celebrate it though! Must have implanted really early, when is AF due? Congrats Grin

Carlotta82248 · 05/12/2016 16:57

I'm just not convinced as the strips were neg, and clearly neg, two of these have been the same, maybe a bad bunch? I aren't due AF until 14th, is this even possible? X

bluesdetoi · 05/12/2016 17:52

I think theoretically it shouldn't be possible because implantation doesn't happen before DPO 8-9. But then again, you could have mistaken your ovulation day and you could be further longer ahead than 6dpo?

It's definitely a positive though. I'd get a first response test to get some peace of mind, I wouldn't be able to trust the result either way until I did.

Carlotta82248 · 05/12/2016 18:00

My opk was feint from last Monday and then pos Tuesday but in the morning, totally negative by Wed, I felt fertile from the Saturday with EWCM and ovulation cramps. Got a cheapy left for FMU then will get FRER. Did 3 the same and then one with tap water as a control which was neg.....I just don't believe it is possible Shock

Tinkerbell2319 · 05/12/2016 18:08

Hi all

Carlotta looks like a bfp to me!

I'm on CD 30 and no sign whatsoever of AF or cramps or anything but did IC HPT this morning and it was negative :/

Is it worth doing a FRER tomorrow or no?

ringroads · 05/12/2016 18:11

That does look like BFP carlottta, which CD are u now? Stats plz Grin

Lovechild2016 · 05/12/2016 18:12

Congratulations carlotta ! Looks good to me. Is that the second BFP of the thread? Could try a FRER tinker remind me how long your cycle usually is?

Tinkerbell2319 · 05/12/2016 18:28

They vary a bit, last cycle was 26, before that was 28 before that was 44 and before that was 33 Sad

Kskifred · 05/12/2016 18:31

some women start implanting super early (2dpo) so i guess it's possible if implantation has now finished and hcg levels are detected. The bfp tests - are they 10miu? they would be more sensitive than the standard cheapies (most are 20miu unless specified) so perfectly possible although rare

Motherhippy16 · 05/12/2016 18:35

Hello all. Am on cd 7 so me and dh are back to dtd every other day. Is so supportive bless! One of my bes friends ia due on the 26th and my cousins wife as just announced she is 3months so I can empathise with the baby news everywhere! Much love and baby dust to all x

Jellybabie3 · 05/12/2016 18:40

Congrats carlotta!! Amazing news Smile

Carlotta82248 · 05/12/2016 18:41

Yes the tests are 10miu, just eBay ones! The strips are meant to be too and nothing on them at all.

I'm CD18, AF due 14th, cycle 4......absolutely no symptoms whatsoever and more annoyed with my early POAS than anything! I just don't believe it can be true!

We'll see what FMU brings x

Lovechild2016 · 05/12/2016 19:02

Don't wanna scare you Carlotta but could be twins! You get twice as much hcg so earlier result... See what happens tomorrow.

blackcherries · 05/12/2016 19:08

jellybabie AF arrived today. CD29 so 2 days later than usual, but at least a bit longer cycle which I guess is good, but I'm out for the year :(

Did allow myself a tiny thought that it might be my month but deep down I knew not. On to cycle 10... can't really believe it's taking this long.

Extra depressed because it means I go for an HSG hopefully this week, didn't really fancy that! And the cost of it with Christmas coming up ... Shock But good to have some data. Will soon have results of AMH, swimmers test, bloods and this.

Bows85 · 05/12/2016 19:16

Congratulations Carlotta! I think that's 3 BFPs for this thread now. FX for a few more Smile
DH went off yesterday and I am officially in the 2ww now...
Are most people's 2ww actually 2 weeks? I only have a vague idea of when I'll be due AF - probs between 18th and 25th Dec (adjusted Ovia once I got my +ve OPK), so not sure when I'd be due to test.
This is my first month ttc so any help is much appreciated!

Carlotta82248 · 05/12/2016 19:20

You're all so kind but it can't be, can it? I'm totally thinking it's just all a big mistake and that it's not possible xx

Jellybabie3 · 05/12/2016 19:22

Sorry to hear that blackcherries, i had fx for you. I hope you get some answers from tests. Are you ttc #1?

My cramps have stopped after 3 days. I have literally NO idea whats going on. I guess i hold out until 15th as app suggests for AF. Maybe i was ovulating late. No idea!

DichotoMous · 05/12/2016 19:24

Carlotta could you have mistaken implantation bleeding for your last period? I think I read somewhere online that sometimes OPKs can also work as PG tests (but I may be completely wrong on that one)??

Bows I think standard advice is to test 12 days after OV, although for some people they might not show a +ve until more like 14 days after...this online calculator might be useful

Bows85 · 05/12/2016 19:29

Thanks Dichoto Smile The problem is, I'm unsure of my cycle length so it makes it difficult to calculate. I'll just have to cross that bridge when I get to it, I suppose!

Carlotta82248 · 05/12/2016 19:41

My period did only last a day but the line is still so feint on the tests that I'd be surprised if I was weeks along. We will see what FMU brings tomorrow x

DichotoMous · 05/12/2016 19:44

Good luck Carlotta xxx

MrsG280516 · 05/12/2016 19:56

Good luck Carlotta that's what my first cheap test looked like and there was barely a squinter on the strip tests even though they were both 10mui Smile

good luck and baby dust! x

I'm having to breath through some fairly uncomfortable cramping tonight, been on and off for a couple of days but really sore tonight. Also like a pinching on my cervix? If it wasn't so early i would be convinced af was lurking Hmm
