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 caved a day early. No idea how to add a picture but my clear blue says “pregnant 1-2 weeks”
Due end of September.

Another two positives that is fantastic! Congratulations @Justanother123 and @Hunkyd0ry

wow a forth, congrats @hunkyd0ry this is awsome, how exciting.

After 3 days of BFN, I finally have 5 very faint BFP on 3 different brands.
I was beginning to lose all hope. AF due in 3 days, won't be completely happy until I have strong positives however.

Good luck to everybody, wishing everybody the best and congratulations so to those who have already got BFP XX

Oh wow congrats to all the BFPs!

Congratulations @Justanother123, @Hunkyd0ry and @User258!

I've had some lower back pain today - not normally an AF symptom for me, so hoping it's a good sign. Taking my first test tomorrow, when I'll be 12 DPO.

5 bfp on this thread wooow, congrats @User258

Wow! 5 BFPs
Congratulations to @justanother123, @hunkyd0ry and @user258. This is turning out to be such a lucky thread. Over the moon for everyone, this is such wonderful news.

I am only 11dpo and had a BFN on a IC don't feel pregnant but my colleague said that I look different and I did dream of pregnancy for the first time ever.

Hope there are a ton more BFPs on the thread and hope that I am one of them but trying to chill and if not this month am so looking forward to a big glass of wine and a gin and tonic

Congratulations to all the bfps they're coming thick & fast now!!!!
I caved & did a boots cheapie tonight as still zero sign of af! Sadly still bfn. Got a cb for the morning but I'm becoming increasingly less hopeful.

Amazing news and congrats to all with BFP! I'm another who caved (Even tho I'm not due til Friday) and got BFN! I told myself not to do it as I knew that'd be the result but I just couldn't help myself....

Syncope and kins00

I feel you pain ladies

I had a average cycle of 32 days and was using ear blue opks from cd14 to cd23 and didn't get my solid smiley. I gave up after the 10th flashing smiley. Dtd every other day but I just don't get it, don't even know when I ovulated if I did ovulate. It's madness!?!
Trying to keep my selves sane, glad I'm not only 1 who didn't get solid smiley! What do we make of this? We didn't ovulate or opk missed it?
How you ladies getting on?

I wouldn't worry about trying to symptom spot in my first pregnancy which ended in mc at 5 weeks I had every symptom in the book by 3 weeks I'm currently 7 weeks pregnant and still now have no symptoms but seen heartbeat on screen, every pregnancy is different I wouldn't of had a clue I was pregnant if I hadn't missed my period, I almost thought it was impossible because I had every symptom my period was coming and I couldn't believe that it was positive I didn't even feel slightly pregnant :)

12DPO and got a BFN on an internet cheapy this morning. Period not due til Saturday, so hoping it's just too early. I've got a couple of FRERs, but will wait til I'm late before using them.

same here bfn this morning on a boots own cheapie, how sensitive are they does anyone know?

Thanks @katie199 and congratulations on your pregnancy I wish you a happy and healthy pregnancy. I wish I had logged in last night at 3am when I was up looking at a BFN at 12dpo, feeling period like cramps.
I have three or four more IC so will use them if I feel like POAS but saving my FRERs until after the weekend if I don't come on.
I think OPKs maybe aren't enough by themselves, I am going to try to go natural for a couple of months just DTD whenever and hope for a late period and then if that doesn't work I will buy a thermometer and start temping so that I can actually confirm as well as predict ovulation.
Fingers tightly crossed for everyone in the thread, looking forward to the influx of even more BFPs

3rd BFN this morning too. AF due Fri (if it’s a 28 day cycle like my last 3 have been) and not even a hint of a line. I am going to not bother testing now unless AF does not appear and will do a test over the weekend. Trying to think of the positives for not getting pregnant this month too!
@Soexciting that sounds sensible about taking a more relaxed approach next time. I think I’m going to have to be a bit more laid back about it all especially as DH is away next month over my most fertile week so chances are going to be very very slim so best I try and forget about getting pregnant and DTD as and when the mood takes us and not get my hopes up and see what happens. What will be will be!

Guys these ICs are super un sensitive! 😂 Either that or I'm really not pregnant at all! I thought I had a first response for this morning but clearly my poas addiction got the better of me and it was just an empty box! So I had to use an IC this morning and jeez talk about having to squint to make anything out! Now I'm awfully concerned the first response and my ICs are just showing me evaps or indents... Attaching a pic to show how insanely faint the line is on IC. Might not even be able to see it once it's uploaded and quality reduced further. AF is due today, no sign yet. Going to get a digital for tomorrow. Feel hella nauseous this morning so hoping there is actually a sticky bean in there.

@ohio91 I can definitely see a line even though it is very faint!!

I'm just annoying myself so much now, I go from being really confident the symptoms are pregnancy related to them seemingly disappearing and not feeling pregnant at all! I'm due on Sunday so not sure it's worth going through the heartache of tests and just wait and see if AF is late!! I hate myself for being so bad but if it ends up being a BFN I'm going to go the doctors to get some answers.

@sal1987 it’s like a rollercoaster of emotions jumping from hope to disappointment...

I think the OCs make me crazy so I’ve decided not to get anymore and just leave a FRER in the bathroom - that way I really have to think 2x 3x 4x before I give in and test. I last tested on Sunday and got a BFN on a Superdrug test. Im going to wait now too until AF is late. Due today but hasn’t shown yet so might test tomorrow or even Friday.

Wow, congratulations to those who have got their BFPs over the last few days! Lovely news! Hope it's all smooth sailing from here for you all.

@Baba11 ooh it's so annoying, isn't it? I have no idea whether I ovulated but the tests didn't detect it, ovulated so late that I missed it by stopping testing, or didn't ovulate at all. When would AF be due for you, based on your normal cycle length? Mine was due today, based on my normal 32 day cycle - no sign yet but BFN on a CB digital this morning. Last month though my cycle was 36 days, so if this cycle is the same then AF isn't due until Sunday. If AF doesn't show up I'm going to try to hold out until at least Sunday before testing again!

Guys, I've just done the stupidest thing ever! Finally caved as no AF yet that's due today, got a FRER from Boots on the way home and thought I'd do it by weeing in a container in case there wasn't enough wee to wee ON it. Well, I was so obsessed scrutinising my pants for any sign of AF that I forgot to do the wee in the container and just did it down the loo!

So that's that for a while then

Huge congrats to the BFP people! Xx

I finally got my clear answer today after lots of uncertainty/ possible evap lines. AF due tomorrow. Still early days but hoping everything goes ok.
I’ve got everything crossed for all you lovely ladies who are still waiting and those who have got BFP that everything goes smoothly. This journey has so many highs and lows and here’s to hoping the highs are coming soon for you all xxx

@syncope

Based on a 32day it would be Saturday but my last 1 was 29 days do have no idea at the moment. I probably will do a rest on Sunday if it hasn't com by then but the no static smiley face has made me think maybe I only have a chance. It's annoying because we dtd every other day for nearly 2 weeks. I don't know wat to think anymore. How you feeling?

@Baba11 feeling a bit fed up to be honest. Only on cycle 4 so I need to keep things in perspective but as you said, getting no static smiley has thrown me a bit! Ah well. Looks like we'll be testing on the same day if AF doesn't come.

@syncope
It is very frustrating. I also temp but my temps are all over the place but it reckons that I ovulated on cd17 22. Although the opk didn't pick up on it. I just think I have given it all I have his month whatever happens now is fate. Do you feel confident about this month
