Hi Smile

My first day of last period was 26th October, I ovulated on 7th November and I am due to get my period on friday!

Since about 5 day after ovulation I’ve been getting mild period like cramps which I never normally get. I remember having them when I was pregnant with my first child but cannot remember when they started.

Dying to take a test because I am just too inpatient but don’t know when’s best to test?

I'm in the same boat, last period was 23rd October, AF due tomorrow and I can't even wait that long!
Did some early detection ones end of last week(faint line) and a freedom one this morning (no line) so hoping the freedom one was too early to use and the early detection one is right!!
Fingers crossed for you xx

Hi my last period was 26th October and today (1 week before my period) I got 4 obvious BFPs on cheap tests, a BFP on clear blue normal and 1-2 weeks on clear blue digital.
I can't understand why I've got all these so early. It doesn't make sense.
Has anyone had similar on a clear blue digital especially, one week before their period?

@Peaem19

Wow - congratulations!
Thinking you may have ovulated earlier than you thought? Or maybe you're just producing lots of hcg? How many dpo do you think you are?

I'm 11 dpo today and I'm not sure if my eyes are playing tricks on me or not or if I can actually see the faintest line on my test. I'll wait another few days and test again.

AF is actually due on Thu, did initially say Wed but got mixed up.

Again, big congrats to you 🎉

Thank you, bit of a tricky situation but a nice shock!
Going by my period tracker it says I'm only 7po but I know this cannot be the case- I must have ovulated much earlier than normal this month!
Normally I'm regular 31day cycle.

Fingers crossed its a line and you'll get your BFP!

Congrats peaem x
Hopefully you're right & you have your bfp passmethegin. I actually got my period today early!! I'm not annoyed as it was only our first month trying & we didn't dtd very often as there was a lot of sickness in the house. I fell pregnant our 1st month trying with our little boy so I know it would be very unlikely to happen again! Best of luck to the rest of you girls, fingers crossed xx

Congratulations @Peaem19. I didn't do a clear blue with my first but I did get a slightly squinty positive 7 days before my period (had the most achey boobs so decided to test). The next day it was a very clear so think I ovulated early. They just put my date forward a few days at my 12 week scan based on the size. All the best with your pregnancy!

So many congratulations.
I’m hopping some of this luck comes my way.
I am 7dpo had a cold since 2dpo, today I felt faint and nausea while cleaning up. And I’ve had some “cramping” twinges

Morning ladies, think I'm out for this month. Have woken with a terrible migraine headache. Looking likely that AF is on her way!

12 dpo and negative. Will try again next month.

Fingers crossed for BFP's for you ladies🤞
