Typical isn't it, it's our anniversary today and I'm treating partner to a night in a fancy hotel n Sheffield, junior suite as well 😂 and I think period is now on its way sods Bloody law

Had more spotting overnight (tmi - brown this time though rather than pale red like the other day) and I've got the beginning of what I think is period pain

Gah timing well done!

Luxoire · 06/09/2019 10:26

@Pinkslink17 hahahaah good luck on your 2WW hahah it is hard to hold off testing - especially when you are so aware of any symtoms hahaha. If you want to test before 9dpo maybe try the first/early response tests - they are expensive though so the cost will mount up if you do more than 2/3 of them...could you maybe keep yourself busy in the meantime? hahaha hard to i know

Hey @Luxoire thank you for getting back to me 🙂 I was so annoyed at myself for not using the ovulation test 😤!! I read that you may get ewcm a day after ovulation so I did a cervical sweep it seems dry?? Is that normal?

@Pinkslink17 hey I'm in my 2ww too, not feeling so confident as I'm unsure what my body is doing but we did dtd around ovulation period so fingers crossed 🤞 how are you feeling, I don't feel any differently really?

Luxoire · 06/09/2019 14:23

@dancingqueen03 you're welcome hun - i think it may be normal as we all produce ewcm in varying amount some more than other and some only for the 2 days leading to peak ovulation! so, if you are one who does not normally produce a huge amount anyway it stands to reason after ovulation yous would dry up quicker! try not to worry hun, how many dpo are you?

dancingqueen03 · 06/09/2019 14:58

@Luxoire aw thanks hun put me at ease a bit now 🙂 I ovulated Tuesday so if it right saying I'm 3 days?

Pinkslink17 · 06/09/2019 15:01

@Luxoire I have got two ready and waiting 🙈 I think I'll do one on Sunday morning, see what happens and if nothing shows I'll try again on Tuesday..still mega early but I can't help it! I was 8dpo with my first when I got a BFP, I'm kind of hoping I'll get the same again!

@dancingqueen03 it's the worst! I hate just sitting around! I've been waking up feeling off for a couple of days but I don't know if it's because I'm anxious and I know how ill I got the first time! Other than that I've just been feeling tender (stomach) like a dull ache.

I checked my cervix this morning, it felt high, soft but with a firm sort of peak if that makes sense?! Don't really know what I'm doing when I'm checking but I remember doing it last time to check where I was in my cycle!

Luxoire · 06/09/2019 15:20

@dancingqueen03 yeah thats right you're 3dpo today. Awww aww glad i could help a little bit as u wait xxx

Pinkslink17 · 08/09/2019 07:03

@MrsSkr oh no! Not great timing at all!

Call me crazy - I've just used a FRER at 7dpo/7 days pre - AF 😂 obviously negative, don't know how I'll hold off testing for much longer!

CouscousEvaporator · 08/09/2019 10:39

@claireb707 hooray for AF! At least you know where you are now. @MrsSkrthat is brilliant timing 🙄 hope it want too embarrassing

My period is late. I think it might be the vitamin b12 I’ve been taking. I hope so anyway as I’ve been drinking lots of wine, eating pate and red meat 😂

dancingqueen03 · 08/09/2019 11:32

@Luxoire hey hun how are you?

I know I'm trying to hold of thinking about it much.. I'm not feeling too hopeful as I didn't use the tests to pin point ovulation but no not really I never get anything to pin point Af like cramps etc just get really moody haha

Zm2019 · 08/09/2019 20:43

Hi all
So August was our first month of ttc #2 period is late it was due 2 days ago (normally on time) tests coming back negative. Do you think it could still turn positive in couple if days or its clearly a negative.

Pinkslink17 · 09/09/2019 07:59

@dancingqueen03 I've been feeling nauseous, had cramps and exhausted for the last few day, I've also got really sore nipples but I don't know if that's something to do with my son feeding lots at the moment! These were all signs I had with my DS but I'm trying not to get my hopes up! Are you still having symptoms? I can't work out if I'm just anxious which is causing all of them!

@Luxoire I'm crazy, I did another FRER this morning, it immediately showed up with a white second line which then disappeared, but when I hold it up to the light there's a shadow where the second line should be, does this happen on every test and I'm just crazy?! Going to wait to test until Wednesday, does anyone have reviews on other tests that are good for early detection, I've read online FRERs aren't as good as everyone thinks, apparently Superdrug ones are better?

dancingqueen03 · 09/09/2019 10:22

Morning @Pinkslink17, god sounds like your having it all!! I haven't had anything since yesterday, I kinda feel like this isn't my month ☹️ but with a bit of luck it's only early days I'm 6dpo today 🤞

Can you remember when you started to get symptoms hun? I'm just hoping and praying that it might be cause it hasn't implanted yet so they may start coming from today onwards xx

Luxoire · 09/09/2019 13:18

@Zm2019 welcome hun, oh if you are due then you should be getting a positive test - except maybe you are not getting a high enough hormone in your body yet to be picked up on the test. Are you using an ultra sensitive test like FRER ones? Also, when are you testing? first urine? i.e. you are going though a few hours in the night without water and a wee before testing to make sure your hormones are at their highest concentration in the urine? Let me know how you get on xxxx

@Pinkslink17 ohh i dont know...i only used the cheapie ones and i cant even remember how many dpo i got my BFP with my first 2 lol hahaha seems like a lifetime ago now hahahah.. you might not be imagining things... i think holding off for a couple of days is a great idea...also maybe check the sensitivity of the tests online and see if there are any other brands with same level of sensitivity
