@BettyM90

I’m 9 dpo today done a pregnancy test which was negative
My Flo app is saying my period is due on Sunday and another app is saying it’s due next Friday I think I ovulated later this month
I’ve had abdominal pain in the middle and backache since last night I don’t know what to think
I don’t think there symptoms of fertilisation, just so confused and drained

@Marri1995 that’s a very early test so I wouldn’t say you were out just yet. It is confusing and draining.... maybe test again in a few days ? Hang in there, you’ve got this x

@BettyM90 could it be 2nd estrogen surge?

@BellaBella84 happy Friday! X

@Supermathsdoc I have absolutely no idea...I’m such a temping novice! I don’t know if it may be partly because I am coming down with a cold? How are you feeling today?
@BellaBella84 I’m very jealous! Hope you enjoyed your celebratory Friday pizza and cookies!! 😋
@Marri1995 how long are your cycles normally? This is what I was thinking about today...I am currently 4dpo and on cycle day 23 and my cycle is 28 days. So if I were to test the day of my missed period I would technically only be 9dpo and is still quite early in terms of testing 🤯 when will you test again? X

Also @MummyToPrince @RBCoxie what cycle days did you do OPKs on before your BFP and get a positive?! Xx

My cycles are usually 28 days, which means my period is due sat or Sunday, but I ovulated later this month I don’t know what to think @BettyM90
How many dpo did you get a positive pregancy test@MummyToPrince

@BellaBella84 @RBCoxie aww I'm so happy your scans went well ladies :-) I've got my NHS scan on the 29th of December and also got to have the glucose test on that day as I had gestational diabetes with my son

@Marri1995 I was 9-10 dpo when I got my positive, I have everything crossed for you lovely

@BettyM90 I took an OPK from peak until I got a BFP, my opks were positive at 9-10dpo

@Supermathsdoc so sorry to hear your AF came - be kind to yourself and when you're ready focus on the next cycle. You've got this!

@BettyM90 thank you so much! I'm feeling okay - work has been crazy this week, I've been doing 13-14 hour days most days so I've been absolutely exhausted. But feeling loads better mentally after my scan. I've attached a screen shot of my OPKs after ovulation - they got darker on 10DPO and I got a BFP that day too.

@MummyToPrince thank you so much! So exciting about your NHS scan - I still haven't heard properly from my midwife. I text her yesterday to get an appointment in but heard nothing back - I have a feeling this is going to be a struggle! 😂

@BellaBella84 how're you feeling after your scan? Seeing the heartbeat is so lovely isn't it!

@Marri1995 @BettyM90 My positive was at 12 DPO. A squinter the day before but certainly nothing conclusive until day 12. Hang in there!

@RBCoxie I feel like someone has stopped sitting on my chest. More than anything I'm glad I believed what I saw on the screen, there was a real risk I wouldn't.

My local midwives are being a bit pants too. I was expecting a telephone booking apt the week begining 23rd. Called then last night to be told they're running about a week behind, expect a call this week. Still biting my tongue. This vagueness is not annoying because I'm a patient. It's annoying because in my department when we arrange telephone pre op assessment apts, we give patients a date and time of when we'll phone them.

When I explained to the comunity co ordinator that any apt would need to be on Monday or Wednesday she actually said "oh are you not on furlough?" As if that was somehow the norm?!

On the flip side mental health have been surprisingly on the ball and have already allocated me a consultant and new CPN. 😁

@Marri1995 is that Saturday/Sunday as in this weekend? How are you feeling, have you got any PMS symptoms?
@MummyToPrince thank you, I’ve been taking OPKs still to see if my LH surge is reducing...but they’re still registering as ‘high’ this time last cycle there was barely a line at all. But is quite noticeable still, even at CD24. Did you find this?
@BellaBella84 patience isn’t my strong point 😂 my period should be due Tuesday/Wednesday although my apps are telling me different but I think that’s because it calculating it as 14dpo that I will get my period?
@RBCoxie oh bless you, you must be exhausted working that many hours. I hope you’re finding time for yourself too. I’m glad that the scan has given you peace of mind and reassurance that baby is cooking nicely 💜 x

Yeah I’m due my period today or tomorrow according to my flo app, but according to Femometer app where I log my ovulation tests I’m due my period next Friday as I ovulated later,
I have no symptoms what so ever, nothing at all
I done a pregnancy and ovulation test last night both came back totally blank,
My cycle is always 28/29 days always, today is day 28 🥴
Have you got any symptoms @BettyM90

Here’s a picture of my last nights test on cycle day 27 🤷🏻‍♀️

Do you temp too @Marri1995? Do you normally get PMS symptoms before AF arrives? If it was me, I would test again in the morning with FMU if you haven’t started AF.
I haven’t really got any symptoms either apart from the odd twinge. But looking back at my notes from last month most of my PMS symptoms started on CD25 (which is tomorrow for me) so I could be hit by a massive wave of them tomorrow 🤣 I did another OPK this evening too but still saying ‘high’. Not sure if I just have a high level of LH in my system all throughout my cycle?! X

@BellaBella84 and @RBCoxie so glad to hear your scans have been reassuring. Hope the remaining months are stress-free! @MummyToPrince not long for you either..

@Marri1995 if you ovulated later is likely your period due date will be later because the LP stays pretty much constant and it’s the first bit that tend to vary. It can be so confusing when our bodies decide to do their own thing!

Everything crossed for those in the 2WW I’m coming to the end of my period. I’ve booked a week away during the next 2WW so hopefully that will keep me relaxed and distracted x

I hardly ever get pms symptoms, I do not currently do my temp, I will start next cycle, what does everyone use for their temp or where did yous buy it from ?
Have you managed to do any more tests today or any other symptoms making a show ?@AHobbyaweek
I done a pregnancy test this morning came back negative again 😩

In TWW at the moment. AF due 8th Dec and 2dpo atm.
Trying to not think about it too much.

I got my thermometer from Amazon, it’s a Femometer one. Is quite good, think it was like £9?
I haven’t had any other symptoms...period is due in 3 days despite ovulating late. The only thing I have noticed is a dull ache/twinge on my left side over what feels like my ovary. Is weird as my usual PMS symptoms start quite early on and are almost always a full stomach pain.
Also, haven’t noticed any blood spotting yet when I’ve been checking my cervix. This time last month it had made a slight appearance

How is everyone today?
@Marri1995 @AHobbyaweek any more symptoms/tests? X

Trying to wait as only 4dpo apparently according to the app.
I am bad at waiting though!
Only symptom is my cats becoming super territorial over me.

No symptoms at all, I think af will be arriving on Thursday, I’ve been doing ovulation and pregnancy tests both coming back negative, don’t think this is my month.
How are you doing? @BettyM90

Don’t get to disheartened @Marri1995 I didn’t get a positive test with my son until after I missed my period.
I have zero symptoms this month, which I really weird. I have a weird twinge in my lower pelvic area, but trying not to get my hopes up. My period is due Tuesday/Wednesday so may just hold out and wait to see if it shows or not
@AHobbyaweek isn’t that meant to be a sign?! My friends cat never used to sit on her lap unless she was pregnant 🤣 x

Even though I ovulate I never have any cervical mucus ever, I don’t know what to think about that.
Yeah it’s the odd twinge that keeps you going until af shows😂
Hoping this is our month @BettyM90

Let’s hope it is the month for lots of positives 🤞🏻🤞🏻
Ha ha I know what you mean! Our bodies are so bizarre. I was so sure I was pregnant last month, had every symptom under the sun 🤣 still getting ‘high’ OPKs but trying really hard not to get my hopes up too much x

Morning ladies sorry I've been quiet!..

@Supermathsdoc how are you feeling?

@BettyM90 my opks were high I think I've still got a picture of my OPK before I got a BFP, I'll put it on here...

@Marri1995 when I ovulated I didn't have any EWCM at the time and I'm 8.5 weeks so don't let that play tricks on your mind

My NHS scan is the 29th of December but as my patlrtner is not aloud to have any scans we are having on on the 12th December I'm soo excited!

@MummyToPrince eek!! How exciting!! The 12th will come around really quickly! How are you feeling?
I’m 8dpo today and my period is due tomorrow/Thursday and feel so unbelievably normal. I usually get spotting the day before but as yet, nothing. Just creamy/lotiony CM when I check my cervix. Trying not to get my hopes up. I’ve been carrying on with OPKs as my LH doesn’t appear to have dropped off and was hoping to see the line fade away. This is my one from today...my husband thinks I’m mad and that I need to give my head a wobble 🤣
How many DPO were you when you did that OPK? X
