I can see a line, very faint. When's your AF due? I'd test again in a couple of days

Cherylttcagain · 04/06/2017 10:23

Looks great though!! How exciting :D

LinzLinz · 04/06/2017 12:28

I'd say it is due in around a week but hard to tell as I've not had a full cycle, I seemed to have ovulated 2 days after a withdrawal bleed when I came off the pill which would indicate AF is due sooner, so I thought what the heck I'm taking a test! I'll take another one in a few days and report back!

Cherylttcagain · 04/06/2017 13:46

That's brilliant! Can't wait to say a proper congrats :D

I've been aching for the last 2 days as though AF was going to start but nothings happened (it's not due until the 11th). Usually I only have that feeling on the day AF starts so I'm hoping it might indicate something other than AF

LinzLinz · 04/06/2017 13:58

I'll keep everything crossed for you Cheryl! Keep us posted!

AngharadTheSplendid · 04/06/2017 21:48

A line is a line Linz and I see a line! Congratulations!!

BFN for me today at 9dpo. Know it sounds early but with both my other pregnancies I've had bfp by now. Feel a bit silly I was so sure we'd got lucky! Funny how your mind can play tricks on you.

KubaLeebre · 05/06/2017 06:27

DPO 6 here.

It. Is. Dragging!

Was determined to hold off testing til AF due, but I can't see that happening!

Am madly busy at work this week though, which should help!

Cherylttcagain · 05/06/2017 06:54

Ang, there's still a chance AF won't show up.

I know that feeling kuba, I'm 7dpo and feeling very impatient!

EMHW123 · 05/06/2017 11:14

Eeek @LinzLinz when are you testing again?!

So my "period" of 1 day has stopped. Very light now just brown spotting again. Did a frer this am (in case it was implantation) bfn. Stupid body! Argh!! Wish Aunt Flo would come properly rather than this stop start carry on!...... if still not full flow by Friday will retest. She'll be back though... just like Arnie 😂💪

Keeping my fingers crossed for you all xxx

LinzLinz · 05/06/2017 11:38

Good luck EMHW!! 🌸 I'm going to re test on Friday I think, I'm not convinced that was a proper line?! 🙈 but I think I can see one... just feel like it must be a shadow or something haha! X

EMHW123 · 05/06/2017 12:04

No sooner had I written that she's here in full glory! 😂😂jeeze!

Aww I'm so excited for you @LinzLinz!!

Clacton · 05/06/2017 13:01

Just trying to catch up after being without my phone all weekend

Linz I would say that is definitely a line! Fingers crossed how exciting!

EMH gutted for you! On to baby dancing again soon though!

Angharad don't forget, every pregnancy is different so you may still be in the race!!

I'm as sick as a dog. Can't eat certain things, smell of food is knocking me sick 😷 is it too early for this as a sign of pregnancy? I honestly just think I'm unwell but as we all know, minds take over 🙄 6 DPO but this is only guessed from an app as it's my first month of having a cycle.

McTufty · 05/06/2017 13:21

Hi everyone! Could I join you? I'm sort of like linzlinz, came off pill 17 May (day I took last pill), so I guess I would be 2ww if on a 28 day cycle (which I might not be!)

I'm on honeymoon so didn't buy any ovulation kits, but have been charting and symptom spotting and hope I ovulated (had clear sticky CM which is all I can base that on). I have had cramping which has cleared up today - I know all this could be pill withdrawal, but am going to test next weekend as though on a 28 day cycle. Does that sound right?
Are you meant to test the day period would be due or can you do it earlier?

emh sorry to hear AF come to visit, everything crossed for next month!

clacton you never know, fingers crossed!

EMHW123 · 05/06/2017 14:44

Hi and welcome @McTufty! Good luck girl!

@Clacton I've had every symptom under the sun the last 9 months.... never had a bfp! The mind plays tricks on me! But you never know!

Other half is already trying to jump me! Ha! Told him he needs to wait until Wednesday at the earliest. I'm going all out this month, baby aspirin ✔️ovulation tests ✔️pressed lube✔️vitamins for oh✔️ the things we do! Baby had cost a fortune and I'm not even pregnant 😂

Cherylttcagain · 05/06/2017 18:00

It's good to have a plan EMHW, all my body parts are crossed for you having a bfp next month :)

Welcome McTufty, you can use some sensitive tests before your period comes. First response say you can take them 6 days before your missed period but it only works for 79% of women. The closer to your AF you can wait the better, or even after its due.

I'm like you Clacton, it is possible but just be aware it's still early.

Thankfully the half terms hols are over and I was back at work today so I've not thought about it too much! Last week I saw finding symptoms in every little twinge.

Clacton · 05/06/2017 18:24

I don't know whether to feel more or less hopeful after finding spotting just now! If it is implantation bleed then I'm definitely too early for sickness!

@EMHW123 I've heard those vitamins are supposed to really help! Positive vibes heading your way! I know what you mean about mind playing tricks. Even though this is my first proper cycle, we have been trying since Jan and had every symptom.

@Cherylttcagain it is so much easier when you're busy. I need to use work to help myself this week but my boss is away so I've been very distracted today 🙊

McTufty · 05/06/2017 19:32

clacton assuming it's too early for AF, I would say spotting is a good sign!

Springflower3 · 06/06/2017 12:10

Hey guys, can I join? I am tracking ovulation with opk, however I am going to risk it with my Fitbit which I had a dip of 1 over Sunday and Monday then it rose again today so potentially I ovulated Sunday? Hmm! Dtd Friday night and Sunday so here's hoping!!!! Good luck to us that we don't go mad!

Clacton · 06/06/2017 12:22

So frustrating!!! I just want to know now 😂
It definitely wasn't AF (unless she is lurking around till this evening!) just dark brown spotting yesterday and very light pink last night. Nothing this morning - TMI?? Sorry!

I think I'm going to test on Saturday which will be 4 days before AF is due. Tesco test from 10hg which is the lowest I've found so far so going to get some of those. I told myself I wouldn't do this this month and here I am symptom spotting straight away!!

@Springflower3 good luck! Is it your first cycle of trying?

Springflower3 · 06/06/2017 12:41

Hi clacton!! Emm well, prob the first month when I feel I have hit ovulation on the head.... dh can struggle to get to the finish line if he knows I'm ovulation so I put in certain measure this month to try and throw him off the scent! Is anyone else's dh like this???? I honestly can't see it being this month cause I want it too much.......

EMHW123 · 06/06/2017 12:56

Ooooh clacton this is exciting!!

Hi @Springflower3 I know what you mean about you oh, mine can finish but we have vowed to make it fun not a chore, I don't tell him I'm ovulating I just send random sexy texts through the month, sometimes I'm ovulating sometimes I'm not... keeps him on his toes! 😂

LimpLettice · 06/06/2017 13:31

Can I join in? 9dpo (ish) but I am extrapolating - I had my Jaydess coil removed 8th May, and had a light period (first for 3 years) a few days later. So no idea even if I did ovulate - although I went back to charts from pre coil and had CM etc.

I am driving myself mad. At almost 40 (DD 7.5yrs old) I am feeling like this is one of my last chances, and have been symptom spotting all week. Said i wouldnt even really try this month.

I have thrown myself off though - 2 days of morning vom straight after my one coffee a day, enormous sore leaky boobs, tiredness. I took a clearblue digi I had last night, obvs bfn but I feel like its too early to be out. Have some cheapie tests at home but didnt bother this morning, having convinced myself I must be mad to think it will happen this fast.

Cherylttcagain · 06/06/2017 21:14

Hello to the new ladies!! Nice to see there are more of us.

My nipples have been sore for the last couple of days, I've been trying to ignore it because it could be either AF or not! Today at work my uterus region was aching so much I couldn't sit still(this has been on and off for days though), then had a pain which I usually get literally minutes before AF appears.... but nothing! I'm really hoping it's not AF (not due til sunday). Argh!

LinzLinz · 06/06/2017 21:59

Exciting! When will you test Cheryl?

MummyGofboys · 06/06/2017 22:11

Hi ladies, I'm on day 19 and it's 8 days until I can test. Been getting cramps on and off and feeling a little nauseous (probably a bug) and had some spotting the other day. This wait is killing me lol xx
