BFP or AF due 19th January

[Soexciting]

Really enjoyed being on the Christmas day testing thread even though I was out before the 25th. I thought it would be good to start another thread for peoplw to join me in the TWW since the January buses are such a long period and some people are 14dpo and some like me are counting down the hours to the TWW. I ovulate on Friday 4th or Saturday 5th. Opks are very low at the moment but hoping to catch a surge. Still trying to DTD everyday (we are newlyweds), keep forgetting to take our vitamins and to use preseed but hoping just to get lucky on our second cycle.

I've never joined one of these before. I'm expecting AF on the 20th. In my last pregnancy I had symptoms very early on (7 dpi) so I'm hoping they appear around Sunday!

I know it's too early, but I'm convincing myself that I'm having symptoms!

I get it. I'm only 4dpo and promised myself I wouldn't symptom spot. I have had lower back ache tonight and although I am putting it down to being back at work and on my feet all day, somewhere deep down I think is it a symptom?!! Time will tell I guess.

Hi all, can I join? I'm due AF on the 19th too. This wait is driving me 🤯
I'm doing the same as all you ladies; googling and symptom spotting. Had an horrendous headache for last 3 days and sharp pains in my lower abdomen every day for the last few days. I hope this start to go quicker for us all!

Can I join?
Age 35. DH 40. TTC no 3.
Cycle 5
First month using clear blue ovulation kit. Ovulated on 3rd Jan so AF due 17th.
Fingers crossed x

Hi, can I join? AF due 24th.
I’ve got an OPK question... I had two days of positive lines, the 2nd day the test line was darker than the control line (yesterday). Today it’s negative again but I know you ovulate 12-36 hours after a positive so does that mean you ovulate with a negative test? I have no idea if that makes sense! I am temping so I suppose I’ll see a rise tomorrow if that’s right? I feel crampy on the left side so I think today is definitely ovulation day.

I think OPKs measure the surge before ovulation a negative after the surge would say that you had peaked yesterday in LH and would ovulate that day I think

How is everyone feeling? I am now 7dpo so into the second week soon! I have TMI constipation not painful but just not going at all despite water, fibre and laxatives. Also I have extreme sinusitis which I have never had and also I don't have a runny or blocked nose. On the lookput for IB in the next 4 days FX
How is everyone else?

@soexciting oh they could be promising signs! Symptom spotting is the worst haha, I promised myself I wouldn't but I totally have!! I'm about 8-10 dpo I think... Took a test this morning and negative of course because it's too early but I had to settle myself and just do one! Earlier in work I randomly had a taste in my mouth that was literally like blood/pennies. Never experienced it in my life. It only lasted about 5 mins. I know that can be a sign but I'm not trying to get my hopes up. Been crampy some days but no sign of IB, but I know it doesn't happen to everyone. I think I'll test again on Monday. Thats roughly when I'm due af.

Symptom spotting here too - I've had a funny bloaty feeling today, which was one of my earliest symptoms the last time I was pregnant. But it definitely wasn't this early, and it's got to be too soon to be pregnancy related. Argh!

I am on a similar time frame with AF due around 17th Jan. This is cycle 6 and it is driving me mad! DTD every other day this month but also Clear Blue Ovulation Tracker every morning from CD 6 to CD 20 with not a single smiley (cycles between 25 and 31 days) so not sure what that is about but I don't have a good feeling about a BFP this month! I drink a lot of water so I am hoping that this is the only reason and its not that I didn't ovulate! Going to start temping next cycle if no luck! Not having any symptoms different to previous months so putting the slight lower back pain and stomach aches down to AF approaching and my imagination!

This 2 week wait is driving me mad. I just Google constantly.

I am desperate to just know either way and I am willing the days away.

That's the problem isn't it User258... You just start wishing away the days until you either finally get that BFP or you can start the next cycle!

Good luck testing on Monday @ohio91
I am definitely wishing away the days. My boobs feel funny but not enough to be a true sign, I don't get very sore boobs before AF so it is promising and I hope it develops.
My likely implantation date is Sunday so hoping for next week to be full of sore boobs vomiting and fatigue! I have planned nice "dry January" friendly activities all next week so hopefully that will take my mind off it all.

Hope posting here will relieve some of my compulsion to test early!
Af due on the 14th so not long to wait but its been agonising.
Just trying to stay busy and pee straight away in the morning so I'm not tempted lol.

So exciting @ange211 I don't think I could resist testing if I was so close. I just debated buying a test in Sainsbury's because my boobs hurt and I am away for the weekend and left my FRERs at home.
Hoping for lots of BFPs as we all head into the second week xxx

I tested this morning. It was one of the tests with the lines. DH thought it was a faint line, I thought maybe it was an evap line.
So more waiting! Due on 16th/17th so not sure whether to test before or wait until AF is due. I’m impatient!!

Hi ladies

TTC #1
33
Cycle 1
CD 29
AF due tomorrow (according to app, but could be later)

I'll test in the morning. I got OPKs to use next cycle if no BFP. I don't feel different other than more relaxed and sleeping well! Sore boobs but I get that before AF anyway.

Good luck all xx

I'm pretty sure I have the start of period pain. Sooooo. Probably no BFP. Ooh fingers crossed for you Hunkyd0ry.

I have what feels like normal af cramps but intermittent nausea (too early surely?) & a metallic taste (only symptom with ds1) but I don't "feel" pregnant :( guess I'll know soon x

I'm just getting symptoms I have had before and had a bfn or symptoms I can give other reasons for. I'm not getting my hopes up as I have had them dashed so many times, I have dealt with so many bfn tests I just find it better to wait for at as I can sort of feel it coming anyway so I prepare myself for the worst (I do have a little cry in private and then dig deep to be strong again!!) just hope you all get your bfp and don't have to go through months of what I have!!

It's meant to say af not at (bloody predictive text!!!

@ange211 hmmm, yes I had nausea, dizzy moments, needing to pee all the time about half way through the month. I have no idea what's too early or not as new to this TTC properly and never been pregnant!
@sal1987 just waiting for AF sounds v sensible actually! Hope you get BFP soon x

I'm 11dpo tomorrow and that's when I got a BFP before... but really going to try and wait for AF this time and not test... the stark, white squares are so disappointing and crushing. AF due Wednesday...

Good luck everyone testing soon! Got to be some BFPs coming on this thread! xx

I have managed to ignore all symptoms today as I have convinced myself it is not going to happen this month, I just have a feeling I am not.

Still took a test this morning though, I need to stop!
