24th June - 4th July Testing Buddies (thread 2)

[Wyewaving]

I hope @littlebee1990 doesn't mind me starting a new thread as our old one was full...

Congratulations to @SK2970 who had just posted a positive test!

(Point me in the right direction if I've missed a new thread)

Congratulations to all the BFPs! Looking forward to seeing digital confirmation for you all soon!

I'm 9dpo today and still got the not quite cramps I've had since ovulation day. 9dpo is the most common day for implantation so I keep visualising that... hoping I can positively manifest a little bubba 🤭 Going to try to hold off until Sunday to test. I'm fully obsessed with googling ttc stuff today... driving myself crazy 🤪

So great to see so many strong BFPs fingers crossed for the rest of us waiting too test 💕

Congratulations to all of those BFPs! It is a lucky group :) I hope you are all well and calm and chilling out and getting those OHs to do all the housework

AF came to me today, so on downside I am on Cycle 13, but on upside ... I can drink this weekend!

I'm going to the hospital on Monday with OH to get checked. Has anyone here had this experience? Apparently, a probe goes up your uterus during AF and they have a look around and do an ultrasound. I am worried that it is painful : can anyone help ease my panic?

Sorry AF came @Florarenniemackintosh I really hope the hospital trip is helpful and I hope cycle 13 is lucky for you.

Despite getting the BFP on a FRER this morning I’ve convinced myself it’s a fluke or wrong.. I’m not giving myself an official BFP until it’s on a digital but don’t wanna use one too soon. One brain battle after the next this TTC.

@Littlebee1990 what DPO are you?

@Florarenniemackintosh 11DPO going to hold out until Sunday which will be 14DPO

Ah good luck!!!! Omg these days are the hardest :)

@Littlebee1990 its definitely there and i dont even have to squint to see it. Congrats. Any symptoms save me scrolling back?

@HellloBambinos with a test that strong i think it'll show up on a digital now.

@Florarenniemackintosh hope your test goes ok. I havent had that one unfortunately so im not sure what its like. Sorry to hear AF arrived

@Nottherealslimshady sorry to hear about AF. Glad you're looking at the positives being able to have a few drinks

@Fran2020 how you feeling? You're definitely not out till AF arrives. I read a good article once that pretty much explained the HCG doubling every 48 hours. So for example on day of implantation it would be 1, 48 hours later 2, another 48 hours later 4 and so on. So could be 6 days later before it shows up on a FRER. I know some people get positives quicker but it could just be that their levels increased quicker. Hope this makes sense x

Ahhh so many BFP today! So pleased for you all, hopefully more to come from this group, it would be amazing to see the journey through together!

@nottherealslimshady @florarenniemackintosh sorry to hear AF has arrived for you both. It's really shitty but you've just got to stay as positive and as hopeful as you can. It WILL happen for us

9DPO for me but AF due tomorrow. I ovulated late so really short luteal phase. I don't really know much about this phase but I think anything under 10 days is considered short. My AF was 10 days late last month so think it might have messed with my cycle this month so not gonna look into or worry too much about it for now.

Hope you're all ok xx

@Whilstwewait I actually wrote them all on my phone but today I have such tingly like burning nipples.. aside from that not a huge amount to report apart from
Gassy
Constipated
Spotty all around my mouth and chin which is unusual
Erect nipples all the time and they never are
Peeing more than normal

Waking up at 5.30AM every morning since 5DPO and I did have a dip in my temp then.. I’ll attach my chart

BFN for me today on CD32 😩 - usually around 29 days but my CP may have messed it up, no signs of her coming either, would like her to arrive now (if she's going to) so I can get on with my last cycle for 14 months 😭😭

@littlebee1990 Thank you for sharing your symptoms. I am so happy you got your BFP and hope you get your digital reading soon. I have had lots of wee tiny spots appear around my lips and chin. I assumed it was because I had started wearing make up more regularly as back to work some days 😂🙈. Hopefully it is a sign. I normally get spots around AF but they are normally around my cheeks and big, sore ones and only appear when AF happens. Sorry for tmi😂. I wake up at 5.30 but that is just normal so not classing that as a symptom. Although have been much more tired in the afternoons and pee constantly . Again not sure if I am just more aware of it just now. Here's me saying I'm not symptom spotting this month . I just can't help myself. My goal is Sunday before pos . If I can make it that far . By then I'll be around 12 or 13 dpo .

Just jumping on to say congratulations @Littlebee1990 and @HellloBambinos!!!!

I also had pains in my ovaries.. niggles that would just come and go.
Thank you all for congrats but I just can’t get excited until it’s a digital.. it’s gonna be a long few days! I’ll keep you all posted x

Congratulations everyone that got a BFP this month, AF arrived with a vengeance for me two days early and as wicked as ever. Nearly time to start DTD again for us as I have now got 22 day cycles - seeing a Dr for blood tests this month also to ensure hormones, ovulation etc all above board. So delighted for everyone that has received their bfp and baby dust to everyone that is going on to the next cycle to start tryig again

@littlebee1990 thanks so much for sharing. I dont really have any symptoms so good to know u didnt have loads in a way. Keeps us positive

@dogmam when i ovulate late then AF arrives later. Ovulation can change monthly but the time between Ovulation and AF is usually the same so your AF should arrive later but hopefully not at all xx

Hey ladies,

Just to chime in on ovulation - I found the CB advanced OPK really helpful. It was my first time using it and I honestly would've missed my "peak" day without it (I thought I ovulated on day 14 of my cycle but this month it was day 18). This together with me monitoring CM is what I think really helped us get our BFP this month.

In terms of symptoms - I felt pretty crappy last week (about 6-10 DPO) but now (I am 12DPO currently) I cannot feel any symptoms. From the reading I've done, you might not get any until week 8! I can't quite believe it is happening but am going with the flow!

Good luck ladies and enjoy the sun xoxo

Hey everyone, sorry I've been quiet on here my headache carried on all of yesterday and today. So I've not been working and didn't want to look at my phone screen much either.

I've had some brown spotting which seemed very mucusy today so wondering if it's pre-AF spotting or late implantation bleeding. Until AF actually arrives I'm trying to stay positive. I have had so many symptoms, maybe if AF does come it could've been a chemical?

@Nottherealslimshady Thanks for the information about FRERs! They don't put that on the packet! Sorry about AFs arrival. Sending positive thoughts for next month.

@dogmam Thank you.i really shouldn't test earlier as it's causes heartache but I've felt so sure I was pregnant this time.

@1992EM I definitely need to wait. It's annoying how cycles can vary so much in length. I'm CD25 today and I have had a 31 day cycle before.

@Littlebee1990 I can see a line! Congratulations and good luck with the digital 🎉

@HellloBambinos Congratulations on your BFP too! That's a very clear line 🎉

@msanne Thats great news about the digital! Bet it's amazing to see it actually written in words! Makes it even more real 😊

@Florarenniemackintosh sorry AF arrived! Sending you all the luck for the hospital and for next month 🤞🏼

@Whilstwewait starting to feel a little better now thank you, this weather hasn't helped!
Thank you, yes that does make sense and very interesting! 🤞🏼

Congrats to BFPs. Clutching at straws here but took this FRER after VFL’s on IC’s and it looks BFN but I feel there’s something very faint? I’m due on 2nd July according to one app and 28th June another, which is messing with my head.

@FRAN2020 Sorry you aren't feeling great. I am also CD25 and have 30 day cycles but was 5 days late last month so who knows 🙈. I hope the spotting is implantation and you get your BFP. The heat is crazy today.

@flyrobinfly I am sorry I can't see a line but I am terrible at line spotting.

I hope you get your BFP.

I am still getting random twinges on my left side and seem to get worse after I eat . Not sure what that is about. They aren't sore just strange twinges , a bit like pulling . I have the urge to poas but trying to stay sensible and wait. I would say that's the only real difference I have noticed from last month. Also certain foods and cooking smells are giving me nausea. Both could be anything though. This is the longest wait ever. I used to dread AF day but now I want that date to arrive in the hope AF doesn't arrive and I get a BFP. Sorry if that makes no sense 😂🙈.

Congratulations on the BFPs!!

I have been reading the page I am only 7dpo and resisting the urge to POAS, I feel like I'm going crazy symptom spotting, I have mild cramps all along my right side which is the side I ovulated from. But I feel like I may be imagining it. Who knows! I have 10 days until my AF is here, but feel I may try to do an IC before then.

@Littlebee1990 I got a bfp on an early detection test... didn’t believe it so waited four hours and did another early detection and a digital at the same time and got a positive on both! Was only 10dpo.... might be worth it?

Hey guys I'm debating with myself as to wether to test tomorrow morning or not 🙈 I ovulated late this cycle on cd16, I am due AF over the weekend this is my longest cycle I have had but apps moved excepted AF date from Wednesday when I put in my opk result! So do I wait until AF is late according to my apps or test in the morning I will be 13dpo tomorrow I have frer tests sat ready to go 🙈

@1992EM Thank you, just feeling all over the place at the moment. 😔 I really hope so but 🤷🏻‍♀️ It's been ridiculous, been laying on the sofa in front of the fan all day!
Your symptoms some promising so fingers crossed! The wait is far too long!! 🤞🏼

@FRAN2020 I hope you start to feel better . The fan is a life saver just now. I had a nap earlier with the fan blasting on me 😂 it was delightful . I'm so tempted to test tomorrow. I will be 10 dpo or do I wait until the weekend 🙈 . It has been the longest few days . I am so grateful to be part of this thread as we haven't told anyone we are ttc and it's so hard not to be able to ask advice from family and friends. I have learned so much in the past two months. 💕
