@RBCoxie Thankyou! I will get some of those instead as I can pass a boots easier on the way home. I'm happier now I've her back on my knee, the tests took triple the length of time meant to take. Now to wait and see how long it'll be before we find out the results.

Peppermint is good for drying out spots xxx

MummyToPrince · 29/09/2020 16:39

Couldn't be anymore annoyed! Not only am I already feeling out this month but I've just been to 4 shops and all have sold out of loo roll and pregnancy tests, all I could get was asdas cheap tests 😩 and I'm knackered

Hope everyone is ok and having a blessed day x

@SparklePrincesss ah great! Let us know how you get on with them! Aw bless, hope it's nothing serious!

@MummyToPrince that's crazy!! Feel like there's going to be a bit of a baby boom next summer! 😂 let us know how you get on with the Asda ones!

BettyM90 · 29/09/2020 19:01

@Clove76 it’s rubbish isn’t it having to wait so long! It would be useful if there was a super sensitive test that you could take or just get some kind of clue that conception has occurred!! (We can wish)!
I downloaded a couple of apps and all of them have said that I should have already ovulated with my expected AF being in 11 days time. Confused head is killing today from overthinking! X

Hi ladies, first post for me. I’m wondering if anyone can give me some positive vibes - I had a miscarriage at 6 weeks the last weekend of August and AF hasn’t shown up since. My cycle was previously 27 days and I’m now at CD 33. I got two clear BFNs last week then had cramps on Saturday so thought AF was coming. Anyway she’s still not shown up and today I did an early clear blue which had the faintest of faint lines. I’m trying not to get excited as it’s so faint (surely it would be darker?) and ovulation and implantation must have been late which I thought reduced the chances... has anyone had a similar experience? I have no other symptoms :-/ thank you and baby dust to you all x x x

If you ovulate later in the cycle, that means implantation would have happened later as well, which would explain why your line is so faint. I would wait a couple of days and test again! Best of luck! 🧚🏼‍♀️
MilkchopsMcgee · 29/09/2020 19:44

@MummyToPrince amazon have some first response with next day delivery on prime, and they're cheaper than in boots.

MummyToPrince · 29/09/2020 19:51

@MilkchopsMcgee I've been in 2 pharmacies today and they've said they are sold out and are now only ordering limited stock because people have gone crazy! To my address there's none for next day, I'll see how I get on tomorrow x

SparklePrincesss · 29/09/2020 19:55

Well I hadn't peed all day since doing the first tests so I used a boots and an Asda one there now and well you can see the results. Also when I took my menstrual cup out there was loads of pinky bloodshot ewcm so I'm guessing af is just arriving earlier than she ever has

Supermathsdoc · 29/09/2020 20:34

@Tryingforarainbow so sorry to hear of your miscarriage. I would love this to be your month and agree completely that you should do a FRER in 2 days. Everything crossed for you!

@SparklePrincesss How many DPO are you?

To the three ladies with BFPs, do you have any symptoms? And how many DPO were you? x

Tryingforarainbow · 29/09/2020 21:05

@Supermathsdoc and @eloiseislost thanks for your responses. I’ll do another in a couple of days and let you know. Fingers crossed.... xx

RBCoxie · 29/09/2020 21:29

@Tryingforarainbow welcome! Sorry to hear about your miscarriage 💕 I think it all depends on when you ovulated - if you ovulated later then your cycle will be longer but you'll still get a faint line. Maybe try a first response one - I've heard the lines can come up a bit clearer on those.

@MummyToPrince amazon say out of stock for me too until 1 October 😒 went down to Tesco to get a CB early so I can test tomorrow - I'm obsessed! 😂

@SparklePrincesss maybe try in the morning and see what happens? Sending you hugs and loads of baby dust 💕

@Supermathsdoc I'm 10DPO and got the faintest line today. In terms of symptoms the major ones I have noted are I have really sore nipples and tender boobs in general (appreciate this is very common for just normal AF cycles too). The only other one I had which was a definite difference was this afternoon for about 5 mins I had a really distinctive metal taste in my mouth - I thought my gums were bleeding but nothing. It's happened twice so far, doesn't last long but 100% there. Hoping to confirm a BFP later this week but this is where I'm at so far!

BellaBella84 · 29/09/2020 21:52

@RBCoxie Ok, this is a bit exciting. Holding my breath. Keep us updated. Got everything crossed for you 🤞🤞🤞!!!

Mama1993 · 29/09/2020 21:58

Thank you everyone xxx

@Tryingforarainbow I think it sounds promising! And like PP said, you may have ovulated later this cycle? Which I don’t believe hinders implantation at all. Hopefully it’s just early days and you’ll get a stronger line in a couple of days. I swear i’ve been peeing on so many tests these last couple of days and they ALL look different.

@Supermathsdoc I’m 9dpo today but I did a frer yesterday at 8dpo which was also positive but at the time I wasn’t sure if it was an indent as i’ve had those with these tests before. However todays was much stronger so I’m feeling much more confident.

No real symptoms yet appart from farting all day 🥴 and really really bloated, last night I actually looked 6 months pregnant no exageration!

Supermathsdoc · 29/09/2020 21:58

Yep agree, very exciting!! I still have zero symptoms that are any different to usual so not feeling super hopeful. Only 2 days til I can test though......

@MummyToPrince good luck for your next test, hope you manage to find something!

BellaBella84 · 29/09/2020 22:04

On another note, was able to avoid testing today by working flat out for 11 hours getting all the final details for the new unit ready. Grand opening tomorrow, 1st patient on the table. I might be on the tele, with a lot of other people with bags and dark circles looking like we haven't slept well in weeks! And I'm emotional as hell! Bloody hope this is pregnancy hormones and not PMT ones. Only 2 days til testing.

RBCoxie · 29/09/2020 22:19

@BellaBella84 thank you! I'll definitely keep you all updated - hopefully it becomes a little clearer later on in the week 🤞🏼

@Supermathsdoc I have everything crossed for you! I've seen quite a few people not feel anything for a while so don't rule yourself out yet! 😊

Mama1993 · 29/09/2020 22:25

@Supermathsdoc don’t rule yourself out. I felt like I had so much more symptoms last month and I wasn’t pregnant

Franny133 · 30/09/2020 01:08

Hello everyone, I hope you don't mind me jumping on? I feel like the person who just turned up to a party uninvited 😂

Me and OH are on cycle 1 of TTC baby no1, ovulated either on the 22nd or 23rd but I'm not sure as I didn't use OPKs or temp check, just went by CM and the fact I had a light bleed for 2/3 days and cramping on the 23rd.

Currently 7dpo(?) and already feel like I'm going crazy, I'm really trying not to symptom spot or Google anything but I can't help myself! Also trying not to get my hopes up as I know the chances of conceiving on a first cycle are low, but I have hope as I know a few people that got lucky, one being my best friend who fell on her first cycle off the pill.

AF due next Thursday so will hold off testing until then, assuming she doesn't rear her ugly head before (I have slightly irregular periods).

I've got my fingers crossed for everyone else 🤞 x

SparklePrincesss · 30/09/2020 03:03

Welcome @Franny133 how are you? Lovely to meet you! I think I probably hold the title of over googling symptoms despite daily bfn 🤣🤣 I even googled why my pop was green 🤷🏼‍♀️🤪🤣🤦🏻‍♀️ why did I just admit that? Anyhoo I would def recommend trying to hold off testing for as long as you can xxx

MummyToPrince · 30/09/2020 05:39

BFN for me this morning 13dpo I think I'm out

MummyToPrince · 30/09/2020 07:34

I had quite a lot of cramps yesterday and sore boobs, today I have minor cramps and slightly tender boobs 😩

OP posts:
MummyToPrince · 30/09/2020 07:38

Would it make a difference that yestday mornings test was 10mIU and today's was 25mIU.. Clutching at straws today

OP posts:
Mama1993 · 30/09/2020 07:55

@MummyToPrince Yes that woukf certainly make some difference. How many days until AF are you? Atleast you’ll know either way soon. Either you’ll find out your pregnant or you’ll have another chance next month (and an excuse to have a few glasses of wine!)

Really hoping it’s the former for you. Tender breasts sounds promising 🤣 is that an usual PMS symptom for you?

Mama1993 · 30/09/2020 07:56

I took a clear blue digital today which came back ‘not pregnant’ 🤔 telling myself it’s nothing to worry about and just not as sensitive. Annoyed that I wasted it though 😅
