Hello and welcome!

I kinda wanted to make my own thread as I've been itching to POAS at only 7dpo 😒 I know I know... ridiculous right?

So need you lovely ladies to join in and keep each other distracted, share your experience, have a giggle/cry together and most importantly have each others support during BFNs and BFPs.

Please feel free to jot down your cycle/dpo info and when your AF is due so we can all keep a track of where we are!

This is also a thread where you are free to post any thoughts, poems, pictures, recipes, dreams and aspirations, the good the bad and the ugly 😝

As always stay safe and baby dust to you all!

Caramel x

Cycle #6
CD22
7 DPO
TTC #1
A fudging F due 17th

@NatJayne87 Heyy good morning x usually I can tell when I'm just about to ovulate but not every cycle... it's deffo worth BD for a few more days just so you catch that window frame. Typically women have a window of 24-36 hours (some until 72 hours) after peak ovulation.

Girl I was jumping on my husband every opportunity I got 😭😂 He didn't mind though 😇

@Lovebug06 Heyyy I would definitely try testing again in a few days (if AF doesn't show) the reason I say this is if you are a late implanter, hcg would not be present in your urine for a few more days.

Keep us updated! I really reallyyyyy pray that it's not AF's ugly face 😩 xx

Is anyone testing early next week? I'm going to do my first FRER test tomorrow morning even though I'll only be 10 DPO. I had a faint line in January at the same DPO so I'm hoping it will show if it's happened. No symptoms though so expecting a negative.

tinatsarina · 14/06/2020 11:40

Can I join. Due AF 18th just had a baby AF finished on the 23rd may. I had brown spotting 10th and 11th but nothing since but I'm cramping now and again. Hoping it's implantation.

NatJayne87 · 14/06/2020 11:53

@CaramelTart23 Yeah usually i can tell easily enough, my nips feel a bit more sensitive today which usually indicates I've ovulated and im also really horny today, also one of my tells lol but i also cant be certain, either way im going to BD tonight and tomorrow maybe, so that will be every day in the fertile window covered haha hopefully we will have some success 😁

Mistymonday · 14/06/2020 12:21

Chlo2701 · 14/06/2020 12:49

I'm 6DPO today & testing on Father's Day as that when AF is due. Had AF type pains & lower back ache yesterday, got the same today. I've been tracking for a few months, so I looked at how I felt last month & had the backache & pains at 5&6 DPO last month, so I'm not holding out much hope. Anyone else testing on Father's Day?

Muffin0107 · 14/06/2020 12:54

I’m due AF today, no sign yet and really really trying not to test as I know I just need to have patience and wait!! I cannot waste anymore money on tests 😂

runnerttc · 14/06/2020 13:11

Ergh I just wrote a long post and lost it 🙄
@2020mission2020mission I'm also 10DPO tomorrow and planning on doing (another) IC, did one this morning which was BFN. I asked OH to hide my only pack so I didn't use them early, I've asked him to only let me have them on Weds. Frustrating but glad I did it because I definitely would have caved and used one this morning lol.

I also have zero symptoms but temp and heart rate are both back up. Does anyone else temp? I'm not sure what I should be looking for and have no comparison as this is my first cycle temping. I've attached my chart if anyone has any interpretations? The bottom data is my resting heart rate.

runnerttc · 14/06/2020 13:12

@Muffin0107 you have such strong will power! I get to 6DPO and want to start testing lol

2020mission · 14/06/2020 13:49

@runnerttc I've not tried temperature checking so far but your graph does look interesting... I'm sure I've read that if your temp stays elevated beyond 16 days then you might be pregnant so worth keeping an eye on that!

Anastacia1 · 14/06/2020 14:55

@runnerttc I temp measure was for contraception then flipped it to ttc and I got my BFP this morning this is what my graph looks like if any help good luck

Did a test frer and negative. AF due today. Still nothing but last month was 5 days late then appeared. Guess I'm out.

Muffin0107 · 14/06/2020 16:13

@wenders4, everything crossed AF doesn’t appear xx

2020mission · 14/06/2020 16:16

@Anastacia1 congrats on your BFP 🙌 so pleased for you. How many DPO are you?

@wenders4 i feel your pain but you just need to focus on your next cycle now and try and have a break from thinking about it for now. I'm sure I'll be joining you for July and hopefully it will be a good month.

I'll test on a FRER tomorrow to confirm if I'm out.

BronzeSilverGold13 · 14/06/2020 16:16

@CaramelTart23 good afternoon, I'm feeling okay today, still have a bit of nausea which isn't great and I'm still off food.

I really want to test but AF is due Tuesday so I think I'm going to wait until Wednesday to test.

I'm happy for them it just seems that they can do it without even thinking test I'm here tracking my cycle and wondering if today's the day the Red Devil will appear when I go for a pee in the morning😭.

I've been incredibly restless the last few days but as above my mind is on AF at the moment. I can't stomach custard as I've spent the last 3 years working in a kitchen for a meals on wheels business so we do a pudding with custard everyday and I'm sick of the sight of the stuff 😆

Once I've finished the bunny I'll post a pic I want to crochet her initials or her age as a little banner for the bunny to hold but need a different colour wool. I didn't use a crochet kit I just bought some things on amazon and found a simple-ish video to copy off. I have dyslexia so I find videos much easier than a written pattern. I can suggest some things to help if you want me to.

I'm just so mixed when it comes to temp at the moment DP is like a furnace all year round so its either almost unbearable to sleep next to him at the moment or I'm practically on his back like a backpack clinging on for warmth.

Ultimately I have a sneaky suspicion that it's going to be a BFN this month! (TMI) but I've been having a different smell and a lot more wetness than normal when AF is due but I can't be pregnant on the second cycle so I'm almost definitely not pregnant I suppose only time will tell!

When do you think you'll test or will you wait it out! I'm tempted to buy a good proper test if AF hasn't arrived by next weekend! But I'll be using my poundland ones until then

Anastacia1 · 14/06/2020 17:52

@2020mission thanks 😊 I'm 12DPO started getting faint positives on 9DPO but got the "pregnant" on the CB digital today still trying not to get too excited though

Muffin0107 · 14/06/2020 18:33

@Anastacia1 that’s great news, congratulations!

wenders4 · 14/06/2020 19:01

Congratulations @Anastacia1! Can I ask how you knew your ovulation date? Did you use the tests?

runnerttc · 14/06/2020 19:18

Congratulations @Anastacia1!
I'm just praying my temps stay up the next few days!!

SITL1992 · 14/06/2020 19:24

What do people think about the top test in this pic?? Am I going mad?

tizzybelle · 14/06/2020 19:33

Hey ladies

I came off the pill last month and had a proper AF at the end of the month. So I guess this is our first real cycle of trying.

Cycle #1
CD 19
5 DPO (estimated)
TTC #1
Period due Weds 24th.

No idea when to start testing though. I’m not getting any symptoms but as it’s only 5 DPO it’s probably too soon. I bought some cheap tests off amazon though but not sure when I’ll pee on the stick! When will you ladies start testing do you think!

Anastacia1 · 14/06/2020 19:55

@runnerttc @Muffin0107 thank you 😊
@wenders4 I use natural cycles App and they work it out for you ... you just need to put temp in every morning before you get out of bed no ovulation tests well I actually got them but didn't get them until after I had ovulated and but thankfully it's worked first time for us.☺️
