Oh wow @03cclarke I really do hope it's my turn for a BFP! Going to test again Friday if AF hasn't arrived by then still, your lines look lovely and strong 💜

Aaah huge congrats @03cclarke ! Exciting times 🎉🎉

03cclarke · 26/12/2018 23:33

@Peaky1 @MrsP4 thank you!!!!

Congrats!!

I'm so excited today - going away for a long weekend after work, and when I get back I'll be 11dpo and I can POAS 🤩 I'm deliberately not taking any tests with me, so I'm not tempted any earlier.

Means I'll be the very last one on the bus, testing on January 1st! Hopefully we see some more BFPs before then ☺️

How is everyone doing?

I’m 11/12 DPO today. I’ve had three very faint lines on IC tests in the last 36 hours but too scared to use a FRER yet.

I was quite positive about this cycle (very strong positive OPKs, plenty of DTD, preseed, no stress and lost a load of weight) but suddenly feel really hopeless about it. Last month, I had quite a few faint lines then AF came, and this feels too similar.

I also have no symptoms apart from some slightly tender boobs, tiny specks of blood when I wipe and creamy/sticky/almost green CM. But definitely don’t feel like AF is on the way either - no cramps and my skin is clear.

I really hate the TWW, it really messes with my head.

mrss2018 · 27/12/2018 12:07

What do we think?
I don't know if I can see the faintest of lines or I'm looking at where the line is supposed to be!! I think it's likely to be the latter and I've tested too early! Not 100% when I ovulated- it was my first month using the clear blue digital opk and didn't get a static smiley!!!

@mrss2018
Sorry i cant see a line

MrsP4 · 27/12/2018 19:41

@mrss2018 Not sure of I can see anything wait a couple of days and test again, this was my test on Christmas day, I had a white line never had it before but I think it's just where the lines supposed to be might test again in the morning. AF due tomorrow or Saturday!

@MrsP4
I had exactly the same with the white line...will just have to be patient and re test!! Think I'm going to wait until the weekend 😏

stroan · 27/12/2018 23:15

After my freak out earlier and spending the whole journey to Ireland convincing myself I couldn’t possibly be pregnant, I did a FRER and got a BFP!

Good luck to everyone still on the bus, and to those who have jumped on to the Jan Bus x

MrsP4 · 27/12/2018 23:33

Best of luck @mrss2018 hope you get your BFP! Congratulations @stroan have you had any symptoms?

Kaye03 · 28/12/2018 00:09

@stroan
Wow thats amazing! Congrats!!

stroan · 28/12/2018 06:39

@mrsp4 none at all, which is why I’d convinced myself it wasn’t my month. Hope that doesn’t mean anything!

MrsP4 · 28/12/2018 11:09

@stroan Ahh huge congratulations I've had no symptoms at al this month but tested Christmas Day and BFN and tested today and BFN AF due tomorrow so just waiting for her to arrive now I guess, I thought I might of been in with a shot this month as I hadn't had any symptoms unlike the last two cycles where I had every symptom going! So annoying the way our bodies play tricks on us! What cycle was this for you?

Kaye03 · 28/12/2018 12:01

Im 9dpo today. Trying to stop myself from buying frer, as im not feeling confident this month. Telling myself will be waste of money.

Kaye03 · 28/12/2018 12:11

Ive got clear blue digital at home. Is it too early to use that?

I told myself ill just wait till af comes. Finding it hard to wait

Kaye03 · 28/12/2018 12:26

When do u all normally start testing?

mrss2018 · 28/12/2018 13:06

@Kaye03 the morning after dtd 🤭

Kaye03 · 28/12/2018 13:08

Lol... debating whether to buy some frer from amazon

Kaye03 · 28/12/2018 16:17

Im not getting any symtoms, so probably no point of me doing so.

Kaye03 · 28/12/2018 16:34

Any advice please?

Kaye03 · 28/12/2018 17:04

Sorry for all these messages, dont know whats wrong with me today! I gave in & ordered some tests. I know 🙈🙊🤪

stroan · 28/12/2018 18:03

No symptoms doesn’t necessarily mean anything. I’ve just had my BFP, I’m 13/14 dpo and don’t have a single symptom.

I normally use IC tests at around 9/10 dpo because I never want to pee on an expensive stick! It isn’t logical, but makes me feel a bit better about it. Then when I see a hint of a line, I use a FRER or a digital.

9dpo is still early, the waiting is really rubbish though.
