Hi all,

I joined a similar thread last month and found it really supportive. It’d be great to hear from others.

We’ve been trying for number 2 for two years now and each month gets more emotionally difficult. Xx

Ladies, I've just been to the toilet...tmi but I have really light brown liquid. I'm 11dpo I'm not getting any cramps today but have had them on and off since OV, my boobs seems bigger today. Had the odd pain on and off on them but put it down to wind. According to Flo my af is due on the 14th and it's normally bang on right. Could it be??? 😳 I'm praying it's not AF showing up really early 🙏🏻🙏🏻

@hayho87 I’m not what it could be, but I’m keeping everything crossed for you.

Will you hold off from testing?

Congrats @LynzP85 🥳 just remember that whatever is going to happen will happen regardless so just look after yourself and try and enjoy every minute when your baby arrives you don't want to look back and wish you'd enjoyed the pg more. Here's to a happy healthy 9 months for you ❤️

@hayho87 could it be an IB? Just a bit of brown spotting can be a good sign, really hoping it is for you xx

@lucymagoo did you test again?

raspberryjamlove · 09/05/2020 20:12

@lucymagoo @SmileyT thank you :) I really hate that it consumes my thoughts but what can we do? Try and not pee on a stick for at least 24 hours would be a start 😂

@LynzP85 what amazon news! How many dpo were you when you got your BFP? Wishing you a very happy and healthy 9 months :) xx

Skyla01 · 09/05/2020 20:25

@LynzP85 congrats! Lovely to see a bfp.

@hayho87 it could be implantation bleeding so don't lose too much hope just yet. I think you'll just have to wait and see if it gets heavier and more AF- like. Fingers crossed for you.

hayho87 · 09/05/2020 20:34

@Skyla01 @SmileyT @Sussexbysea I'm hoping it's implantation as I never get spotting and I never get cramps until day of AF. The cramps I've had have been really light and not really cramps like af but just uncomfortable niggles. Mainly on my left side. I'll see if I get anymore symptoms over the next day or two. My birthday is Monday and our wedding anniversary is Tuesday so may test on one of those depending on symptoms. Xx

J0DI3 · 09/05/2020 20:37

Ahhh I need to jump on this thread! I’m currently 9DPO so will hopefully be testing next week as long as AF doesn’t show!

@hayho87 that sounds promising and I'm keeping everything crossed for you x

SmileyT · 09/05/2020 21:38

Everything crossed for you @hayho87 wouldn't it be lovely to get that BFP on your anniversary 🥰

Welcome @J0DI3 will you be testing at 14dpo?

J0DI3 · 09/05/2020 21:41

@SmileyT I am going to try and hold out but I’ve seen so many people say they’ve tested earlier and got BFP’s so will just take each day at a time! I don’t really have any symptoms or anything where I feel different. I just want to know either way. It’s the wait I’m finding the hardest.

SewingAddict419 · 09/05/2020 21:47

Hi, I would like to join in too. I'm 13DPO right now, and by Wednesday I'll either have my period or good news.

Bailey93 · 09/05/2020 22:01

Hope everyone is getting on ok! I'm due AF on 14th... I did cave on 9dpo and took a test and as expected it was a bfn. Feeling a bit strange today had a bit of an upset tummy and feel like I'm getting a cold.... even though I haven't been anywhere and don't have hay fever. Hopefully I get good news soon. Good luck to everyone else too!

SmileyT · 09/05/2020 22:21

@J0DI3 If you implant early you can definitely get a faint positive at 9dpo, but a lot of people also find themselves not getting the answer on the first test then driving themselves mad testing every day until AF arrives. Just do whatever feels right for you 😊

Welcome @SewingAddict419 and good luck for testing next week, any symptoms?

@Bailey93 hoping you just tested too early and you'll get your BFP next week, when will you test again?

Bailey93 · 09/05/2020 22:35

@SmileyT hopefully! I'll be testing on 14th which is day of af, if not later. I only have two tests now and I don't want to waste them if I do get a false negative! What date are you testing? There are so many messages to scroll through so I apologise! Xx

Violetlilac · 09/05/2020 22:52

9 dpo. Really don't think I am but finding it really hard to wait to test even though I know it's likely to be negative! AF due 14th. I have FRER and clear blue early react - which is best and when can I do it early??

SmileyT · 10/05/2020 06:03

@Bailey93 how are you feeling today? Tummy any better? If AF doesn't arrive I'll be testing on the 20th, annoyingly one app moved my estimated period date back, but I'm realistically expecting my period on the 16th or 17th as I'm 8dpo today. I've had not even a sniff at a symptom though 🤷🏾‍♀️

@Violetlilac I'm pretty sure the FRER is most sensitive. If you can wait until Monday Morning FMU because most people implant around 9dpo so 11dpo will give you a better chance you can trust the result than 10dpo but you can test today if you can't wait 🤞

Violetlilac · 10/05/2020 06:14

I'm 10 dpo.

Am I going crazy???? I took a clear blue early detection and before the 3 minutes were up it looked like a line had appeared but now I'm looking at it I'm wondering if I'm seeing things??

I've been super bloated the last couple of days and had dull aches but thought it could be AF and wary of symptom spotting.

This wasn't planned so I'm a bit shocked!

Violetlilac · 10/05/2020 06:16

Ahhh I can't add a photo?! It's such a faint line o think it might not be there!

mrsmumsy00 · 10/05/2020 06:24

@Violetlilac 10 dpo is still early!! silly me did one at 9DPO and it was blank as ever 😂 don't lose hope till AF arrives and if you manage to deff upload a pic! give it till wednesday if not! baby dust to you!

SmileyT · 10/05/2020 07:39

@Violetlilac get your OH to have a look at it, if it's super faint it's hard to capture in a pic but always think another set of eyes on the actual test will give you your answer🤞

Violetlilac · 10/05/2020 07:54

Will the result stay on the test? I'm worried to show him in case he thinks I'm being silly!

Oooh I have option to put pics on! It's super faint what do you think?

Testing around 13th May

I've been super bloated and constipated the last two days which is not like me (sorry tmi but I have ibs and usually the other way!). I felt super nauseous after a coffee the other day and smell is heightened but then trying not to symptom spot! Had weird pelvic aches and lower backache but assumed maybe was early signs of AF which is due on thursday. I'm 10 dpo xx
