I'm on CD15, TTC baby #1 and on cycle #8. I got a positive opk yesterday so today should be O day Smile. Anyone else in the same boat and looking to test at the end of the month ? Having others might make this TWW more tolerable. Really starting to get discouraged after so many months of bfns.

Omg @BrownF89 are we the same person... I cracked today too at 10dpo. Hope you're OK, there is definitely still hope.

There's a really faint line on mine that both my husband and I can see. However it's quite far apart from the control line compared to what is shown on the instructions so I'm telling myself not to get hopes up as it is most probably an evap line. I'm going to test again on Saturday (although who am I kidding, I bet I'll test again tomorrow).

From a very shallow perspective I kinda just need to know as I have a weekend of social events planned and want to know for sure if I can drink or not!

@ButterscotchBabe Im still waiting on AF. Cramps on and off so should be any time now, assuming those antibiotics threw me off a little. Of course now that I'm just ready for it to show so I can schedule the bloodwork, its holding out. How are you doing? Did AF show?

@BrownF89 I know exactly what you mean, it's so frustrating but try to stay hopeful. It will happen sooner or later for all of us! Plus, 9dpo is pretty early!

Don't let this put you off, I took a test 9dpo and BFN, I then took another 12dpo and got a vvv faint bfp. Took a clear blue digital yesterday and got a bfp (14dpo). AF not due for another 2 days so keeping my fingers crossed 🤞

jules5232 · 29/10/2020 13:27

@Char1803 that's so exciting!!!! Congrats! Did you have any symptoms before hand ?

@Char1803 Congratulations! That's great news 🎉

@jules5232 spotting got heavier yesterday and has continued today, so it's definitely af. Temp has come down marginally but nothing significant so that's a bit strange. Back to starting the whole process again! Fingers crossed your af doesn't arrive 🤞 x

@jules5232 to be honest this was my first month TTC so i was so confused by symptoms etc because I didn't really know what was normal for me during my cycle and what wasn't as i never paid much attention. But here are some because I know I frantically googled mine in hope of a sign!!

I had such painful breasts (still do). I have always suffered from tender breasts during my cycle but mine were just constantly sore, I would wake up and they would be aching! Also noticed them to he much fuller and bumps around my nipples.

After ovulation (EWCM) I found my CM to be quite an obvious white creamy lotion (I didn't get loads of it though only when wiping was it noticeable).

I have had back ache for the last 2 weeks and I never really suffer from it.

On around 8dpo I had a real sharp shooting pain in my left hand side (it lasted only a few seconds and only happened once). I hadn't really experienced any other cramps or pains before my bfp or any spotting.

On around 12 dpo I started to get really bad heartburn and was burping constantly! Also a tooth of mine that has had a hole in for years suddenly cracked and part of my tooth felt out (I googled that hormones can really effect your teeth).

I was a smoker and even though I tried to stop when TTC I had the odd one here and there and they really made me feel sick.

I felt a sour/tangy taste when eating lots of foods that almost made my mouth water.
It sounds silly but the whole time I really just felt like I was pregnant but tried to convince myself I was going mad.

I'm now driving myself mad hoping that AF doesn't appear and it turns out to be a CP!!

BrownF89 · 29/10/2020 15:02

@Luckyelephant1 - I'm glad I'm not alone!! Haha! Keeping EVERYTHING crossed that your line is a positive! Smile

@Char1803 - thank you! I know it's still early so won't lose all hope yet... just preparing for a BFN to soften the blow! And... massive congratulations on your BFP! I'm sure it will remain that way and AF won't appear xx

BrownF89 · 30/10/2020 20:54

Sorry for the constant questions ladies... (i promise next month i won't ask as many questions!) Just been to the toilet and after I wiped had a bit of dark brown jelly like stuff.... I'm 11dpo now but AF not due until the 3rd? I know time will tell but can you have implantation bleeding at 11dpo or is it likely early AF??

Happy weekend everyone x

Chascha18 · 30/10/2020 22:03

So I cracked yesterday and took a test with was BFN but I feel like it's too early. Still waiting for AF although I'm still getting cramps and I swear my nipples look darker!

Luckyelephant1 · 30/10/2020 23:27

I'm 11dpo and it wasn't an evap line I saw yesterday as I've taken two further tests today and they are definitely BFPs! I'm shocked! It doesn't feel real yet, hoping against hope this little one sticks!

@BrownF89 it could still be IB if you ovulated later than you thought? Maybe test first thing tomorrow. I didn't have any spotting.

BrownF89 · 31/10/2020 10:17

@Luckyelephant1 - YAAYY! Congratulations!!! So exciting and hoping it's a sticky little bean! 😊

BFN again this morning (although I think I'm hallucinating lines now!! 😂) so pretty sure AF has come early!

BrownF89 · 06/11/2020 17:40

Hey @Luckyelephant1 - just checking in to see how you're doing? Hope everything is good!?

Luckyelephant1 · 06/11/2020 18:11

Hi @BrownF89 I am doing well thanks! Still pregnant according to the cheapo tests that I can't stop doing daily! No big symptoms yet except for mild cramping. I still can't quite believe it and have to stop being too excited as its still very early days.

Hope you are all doing OK, sending lots of baby dust your way xx

BrownF89 · 07/11/2020 15:05

Oh that's so good to hear! I'm sure this little bean is a sticker and everything will be perfect! So exciting! Smile

Look after yourself and keep us posted on progress!xx
