Anyone testing beginning of Feb?

[CocoW]

Hello! I am new to this forum & wanted to chat to anyone testing around the same time as me at the beginning of Feb!
Going off the app I use I am about to ovulate so will be DTD lots over the next week!
I have been TTC for around 5/6 months now but haven't discussed with friends or family so hoping to feel better by discussing with people in the same situation

@Daisy2206 I literally never have cramps usually. Not until just before AF (2 hours max). I always have spotting though.

I've been having cramps since Monday! Never known anything like it. Very on/off. Mon PM, not too bad Tues, Wed AM and PM, yesterday PM, today AM.
Been spotting on and off too. BBT indicates not pregnant though. So no idea what on earth has happened. I just hope it isn't going to be like this every time. I feel crappy today too. AF due tomorrow. Be glad when it's over with.

AF symptoms are v similar to early pregnancy symptoms. With DC1 (a surprise) I kept on thinking AF was due to arrive day after day until the penny dropped - also had two negative tests!

@uisage also expecting AF on 7th and trying to hold out till then if only to save some pennies.

I don’t think DH is counting down the days somehow!

@ZsaZsaMc that's the frustrating thing, the symptoms are so similar :(

10 dpo and I have a bfp! Very very faint though, so fingers crossed it gets stronger...

🙋🏻‍♀️ testing on Monday!

@ZsaZsaMc I don't really talk about it with DH, I wonder if he thinks about it too! My early symptoms were peeing like a carthorse and itchy boobs. Naturally I'm analysing every pee now.

@pinkdressinggown here's hoping that BFP stays stuck!

@pinkdressinggown that’s great!

@pinkdressinggown congrats lovely.. fingers crossed for a darker line for your piece of mind.
Keep us updated ♥️

Got my BFP on DPO 10 on Thursday , super faint and hoping the line gets darker!! It's DPO12 and it's still really faint :(

@Hitherebaby congrats! That looks great - especially for so early!

Mine has actually gotten lighter, so I have a feeling it might end up as a chemical pregnancy, but for now I'm holding onto hope...

@Hitherebaby Congratulations!
What strips are those that you are using?

@Hitherebaby Congratulations! Lots of exciting news at the moment.

I’ve got my BFP today at 14 DPO, it’s faint but definitely there- I thought I was but kept testing from around 10 and thought I was out!

When I took the test I was mentally thinking “yep around negative then I was like omg I’m sure I can see a line” before I picked it up and looked properly!

Not sure whether to tell my husband or wait and take another first, I get so paranoid!

Omg sorry my spelling is so bad... too excited/nervous!

@LexiM yay! It's definitely there. Huge congrats!!!
I caved at 10dpo this morning and got a BFN so this gives me hope 🤞

@LexiM congrats♥️
Definitely looks positive to me!

Thank you @CocoW it’s good to get some reassurance.

Yes @YellowFlower22 don’t give up, I keep telling myself everyone is different so we aren’t all going to get it on 10DPO even if pregnant.

I'm 13DPO & still getting BFN every morning since the false positive on the Clear Blue!
Have cramps today & sore boobs but convinced that is AF on her way.. willing her to arrive now so I can move on to the next cycle

Thanks @pinkdressinggown - hoping it goes well for you too!

@LexiM 😂 Love it how we all know before your DH. Congratulations!

Thanks @uisage and @paintfairy!! I'm using this brand pregmate that I bought from Amazon :)

Af is due now feel like she is on her way but did this test this morning. What you think after 19months of poas this is the first I've seen like this.

@babybumpfor2020 I can see the faintest line.. i'd keep testing each morning & hope it will get darker.
I have been reading that lot of women don't get a clear line until a few days after missed AF.
I think the early detection tests make us think that you'd always get a clear line early on but everyones different.
Got my fingers crossed for you 🤞🏼🥰

I tested yesterday morning and got a negative but not due for 5 days. Think it's to soon, I've bought a first response one to do maybe tomorrow. I have sore boobs, peeing all the time and feeling nauseous. Also cramps and lower back ache. Ovulation was around the 21st January so 11 days ago. Don't want to get my hopes up just wanted to ask your opinions? It's only our second month TTC.

@paintfairy haha he knows now - he said he had a weird dream I told him I was pregnant and I was like... oh yeah about that
