Figured I'd start this up before we completely fill the other without a link.

@Eyedontknow have you had any spotting or symptoms? Definitely retest! The doctor made me feel like I was crazy and definitely not pregnant but hopefully the FRER tomorrow will show a clear positive x

Anyone know if cramps are normal in early pregnancy? They started today and I got some brown spotting. Not a lot, and they were just tiny clumps. Though I am slightly concerned seeing as I've only just got my BFP about 14dpo and the line is faint 😥

Great chart hanspan and excellent work on all that sex!!

Congrats peterpanwendy! It's so weird it took so long to show! But gives hope to everyone that it's not over til AF turns up.

I'm 10DPO today. Temp went up today which got me quite excited but been getting AF cramps tonight which I always tend to get around this time in my cycle so back down in the dumps again. TTC really is a rollercoaster! Not going to test til Wednesday (if AF doesn't show). I'm sick of wasting time and money on FRERs!

NK period style cramps are VERY common in early pregnancy. That was one of my first signs with my pregnancy - i got my normal cramps but no AF. I also had brown spotting but it was from about week 8-10 for me. I think the advice seems to be that brown is ok as it's just old blood but red is more worrying. Fingers crossed for you xx

Congratulations @Peterpanwendy!! So happy for you, you finally got you bfp after all that waiting!!

@Peterpanwendy
What were your symptoms?

@peterpanwendy. Ahhh! Congratulations! So happy, at least one of us got their bfp lol. You must have ovulated late! I know I did - 14 days after I ovulated and flo arrived! At least I know my luteal phase is a good length lol.

Thanks @Sodasoda. I'll just have to keep an eye on it, it's just been brown so far so hopefully it doesn't get any worse

@Gem173 wow where do I start!
Missed period, loooooads of watery/Egg White CM for about 2 weeks (between implantation and being a week late, still going on but not as bad!) Fatigue, mild cramps (different to AF), extreme hunger, breakouts/bad skin around jaw, upset tummy around when AF would have been due. All different to my usual AF symptoms :) hope I get a stronger line tomorrow on a FRER!

Wow @Peterpanwendy!! Quite a lot there haha thanks for telling me il keep an eye out! Goodluck !!

Congratulations @peterpanwendy and others with BFPs!
It's weird as I have a few of the symptoms you have just described and just got two spots on my chin which is strange as I haven't eaten badly the last couple of days. Still no sign of AF, but don't think I can be pg as we haven't DTD for ages now and think that was too many days before ov (DH away). Very weird, I think I'm just reading into things way too much!

Well in hlf n hour I'm officially a day late ... your story is so amazing fr girls who arnt the Internet text book 11dpo + .... congratulations all bfps....

@peterpanwendy no spotting, but getting mild/some AF-like cramps for the past two weeks (which is not abnormal), lots of cm when I normally dry up about a week before I get AF, and extremely gassy I'm hoping the gassiness isn't just a new normal for me . Tired and hungry as well, but probably in my head.

The only thing I truly think is odd this month is the cm. But I have been getting an increase of AF type cramps, so expecting weird cycle to be the case rather than bfp.

My expected ovulation date has been re predicted as the 23-24th so might have a christmas miracle after all 0

AF due today. Not had any cramping at all this week which is very unusual. Had been very tired though! May send DP out this afternoon if no show for a test. Fingers crossed

Ooh good luck miss hannah !!
Ive had crazy fatigue and cramps the past few days so ive turned into a night owl yet at the same time i just want to sleep constantly im not due to test until Jan now

It's official :) Got my BFP this morning! thanks for all the support ladies I will definitely be following all of you on the Dec Bus! I am proof that you're not out till AF shows, faint positive 12 days late and a clear positive 13 days late!

Af has arrived I'm so excited fr all u bfp ladies .... suppose I'm ready to try nxt month 💕

Congrats @peterpanwendy

Guys!!
10dpo
Done at 7:30am

Then I left it for an hour till now.

The first ones came up within the last minute but as I’ve left it, it has gotten darker. Not sure if I should believe it or not!?

@Gem173 I would say BFP! Keep testing! X

Thankyou, I will :) I’m a nervous wreck, my period could still show, it’s due tomorrow or tues :( x

Your not supposed to leave them for hours otherwise it's just counted as an Evaporation line only tests read within 5mins of testing are valid results which is what my GP has told me
