How exciting @ValidUser - can you grab some CB digital tests to do in a day or so? There’s no denying those! I do see a faint line again today though too!

Lottiepink · 11/07/2019 09:12

Omg just checking in and BFP's everywhere 😊

@PippaPug congratulations!! How many dpo does that make you? That's a very strong line! All exciting before the wedding too 😊

@ValidUser omg, I totally see the line... congratulations! Fingers crossed for you 😊 have you told dh?

Lozzlepop · 11/07/2019 09:21

@Larrydavid how long are your cycles usually? Maybe test again in a few days to be sure?

@LokiCat I know it means some extra time in bed in the mornings too 😀I have definitely felt more sick this time than I did last time around!

@Mrskcam I was the same first time around even after I got my BFP I felt like AF was due to start!

@PippaPug whoooohooooo!!! Congratulations, I did have a sneaky suspicion that you would get a BFP? What a lovely pre-wedding gift, is DH delighted?

@ValidUser I deffo see the second line, no squinting required so I think massive congratulations are in order!!

Fingers crossed the luck of the thread continues for you ladies testing at the weekend!!

It's another horrible muggy day here, on the count down until the weekend now!!!

ValidUser · 11/07/2019 09:33

Thanks @Lozzlepop @Lottiepink and @MrsEG!

Have digitals at home - will try one maybe Sunday.

DH is excited - he never saw my lines before.

Feel like the validuser who cried wolf!

@ValidUser you're definitely pregnant!!!!

@MrsH497 I'm good thankyou sweet, how're you? Will you be testing next week? Xxx

MrsEG · 11/07/2019 09:43

@ValidUser How exciting!! I’ll be checking back in at the weekend to congratulate for sure!! It must feel so surreal! Xx

MrsH497 · 11/07/2019 09:47

@cupcakesandglitter I'm good trying to be positive about everything. Think I will maybe end of next week, as I say no clue when AF could arrive which makes it hard. So glad I have you guys to talk to x

XjustagirlX · 11/07/2019 09:52

@ELW85 I’m the same. I was really hopeful since ovulation but today I just woke up feeling like it won’t happen this month. I’m 8 dpo today and I was so close to testing this morning. I’ve decided I will test tomorrow morning instead. AF I think is due on Monday but I tend to get spotting for two days before. Are you holding out till Sunday?

cupcakesandglitter · 11/07/2019 09:56

@MrsH497 I'm the same - AF was due around now Ish and I've had LOADS of EWCM so I think I'm actually ovulating instead? 😂 it definitely is hard to stay positive but you've got us all here, you can definitely do it ❤️ xx

MrsH497 · 11/07/2019 10:02

@cupcakesandglitter think because there's so much on the internet about being super fertile after a MC I don't want to get hopes up. Ooh bodies are so strange aren't they! My "symptoms" are completely odd the last couple of days

Lottiepink · 11/07/2019 10:06

@ValidUser so exciting! Yes try the digital at the weekend, will keep my fingers crossed for you!

@XjustagirlX we are very close in cycles, I'm 7dpo today according to my app with temps, but I have a feeling I'm 8dpo due to my symptoms, but who knows 😂😂
I don't know how, but I don't test unless I get to 11/12dpo 🤣 then af arrives the same day 🙄

cupcakesandglitter · 11/07/2019 10:18

@MrsH497 I get that completely, I guess there are only threads about people that get pg straightaway rather than threads of people that didn't... the internet can be so confusing when TTC 😂 x

ELW85 · 11/07/2019 10:21

@XjustagirlX - I’m 7dpo today and will hold out until Sunday but I can’t help but feel like I already know the answer.
I’m never usually this negative, but stupid as this sounds, with everyone else getting BFPs (which I’m obviously ecstatic about) I feel like statistically, I won’t get mine.
It’s so weird how this process turns you into over thinking everything.
I hope you’re feeling ok?

@Lottiepink - that usually happens to me; I get to a lint where I think I should test and then AF turns up.

I’m sure there’s about 5 of us due to test this weekend in total, so I’m hoping we can get some BFPs out of that :) I’m relying on you lot, realistically! 😂

MrsH497 · 11/07/2019 10:22

@cupcakesandglitter it's why I like this thread we have all been here a little while and understand what it's like. We all celebrate our BFP but then understand the heartbreak of it not happening or MC. Don't also have many posters who appear one day then get a BFP the next xx

XjustagirlX · 11/07/2019 10:30

@Lottiepink me to. My app says in 7dpo but I think I’m 8dpo.

@ELW85 do you have any symptoms? I’ve had cramps for ages and an achy back. But not had anything else. I also keep staring at my nipples wondering if they are going darker Confused

cupcakesandglitter · 11/07/2019 10:36

Definitely @MrsH497 especially us original girls, we've been here a lot longer than we thought but we've got all this wisdom to spread 😂❤️

MrsH497 · 11/07/2019 10:42

Ladies talk to me about implantation pains. I don't know if I had them last time I was PG!

Lozzlepop · 11/07/2019 10:53

@MrsH497 I didn't feel them last time but I dod this time, they were very low down near to the pelvis and they were quite sharp at about 7DPO. I also get an unusual sensation in my stomach if I have to run 😂which made me twig beforehand!

ELW85 · 11/07/2019 11:11

@XjustagirlX - I’m quite crampy and my boobs are sore; when I had to run at the gym, I had to hold them a bit. Obviously looked great 😂
I felt a twinge in the centre of my pelvic area lying in bed this morning but I’m pretty sure I’m just willing that into existence.

My temp went up again today but I think that’s just cos I was hot and restless last night.
Feeling pretty low today (as I’m sure you can tell!) so I’ve just written it off.

Do you usually get crampy in the TWW?

XjustagirlX · 11/07/2019 11:22

@ELW85 I know, it’s horrible waiting. We have only got a few more days to wait now. And it’s not long till the weekend.

I not sure about the cramps. I don’t think my cramps are usually this long. When I get my period I tend to just get a few sharp pains and that’s it. I never get dull aches.

ELW85 · 11/07/2019 11:33

@XjustagirlX - I’d take that as a positive then :)
I know it’s TMI but for I’ve got a bit of creamy CM today (feel wet) and I’m bit stabby below. Not continually.

Definitely willing this into existence!!

FlorenceLane · 11/07/2019 12:10

Hi all! Hope you don't mind me joining this month's 'wait'?

Been trying for 3 months. Today I'm 8dpo, CD22... Average cycle length is 26 days... Glow app says I'm due AF 17th July...

I still find the whole counting days confusing, when do you guys think I should test???? Any tips to stop thinking about it? Haha.

No symptoms really, just increase in energy. Weird right?

Fingers crossed for all of you hoping this month is the one, baby dust to all xxx
