I think I'm 11dpo today, AF due 24th. Really want to test 😬😬

Ralala · 22/12/2020 18:27

Ahhhh just had some very light blink and you will miss it pinky cm. I’m about 10dpo. Hoping it’s not and early. Really crampy today

Ralala · 22/12/2020 18:28

Hello newbies!

CarlyAM · 22/12/2020 18:38

@Ralala fingers crossed that’s the right kind of spotting! I had a very similar thing yesterday and day before but mine was brown (sorry, tmi!)

loumsc · 22/12/2020 19:32

Hey, hope it's ok to join late! I'm due AF on Saturday..I done a test today 11dpo and this was the result. I feel like I can see a 2nd line but my husband thinks I'm crazy!!
I have a clear blue digital which I'm thinking of using tomorrow..

[quote CarlyAM]@dano99 Sorry to hear about BFN, but maybe just a bit too early? Wait a couple of days and test again. You’re not out until AF arrives! Xxx[/quote]
Hopefully so! I'm going to hold off testing until Christmas Eve now I think x

CarlyAM · 22/12/2020 20:04

@loumsc I can see a faint line :)

KerryW87 · 22/12/2020 20:08

@loumsc I'm sure I see a line, how exciting :)

loumsc · 22/12/2020 20:10

Yay! At least I might not be making it up 🤣 I have a 23 month old son and when I first tested then I was 12dpo(which would be tomorrow) and the line was slightly darker than today's. I also had very bad nausea, which I don't have that bad but I can feel it coming on this evening a bit.
If it is positive then I don't know what to do christmas day with the in laws 🙈 they'd be so suspicious if I'm not having a drink!!

@Tootiredtosleep1

Hi ladies,

Could I join your thread?
I'm new here and I have no idea what I'm doing so bear with me 😂

I think I'm around 6/7 dpo today so I will be 9 or 10 dpo Christmas day. I'm planning to test then with a frer even though it's early (don't judge my poas addiction lol)
Getting a bfp on Christmas day would be pretty awesome! 😁 Fx to all Xx

We're at similar points in our cycle, I think I'm currently 6 dpo at most... might test with a frer on Christmas day even though waiting until NYE would be the sensible thing to do 🤣
KerryW87 · 22/12/2020 20:21

@loumsc I don't think you're making it up, congratulations! 💕 Haha, depending on what you usually drink you could buy some Nosecco and just pour it yourself so no one suspects?

Emmgrem · 22/12/2020 20:44

@loumsc or you could say you're on antibiotics, or that you're hungover as you and DH had a few too many Xmas eve drinks last night 🤷🏻‍♀️

loumsc · 22/12/2020 21:05

@KerryW87 & @Emmgrem yeh I'll maybe have to do that. I do have an alcohol free gin I bought last week when I was hoping I'd get a positive test. I'll bring that with me ☺️

So this was my 2nd cycle trying. And we used concieve plus lubricant. I definitely recommend it! We got pregnant with my 1st on the 1st cycle and used that lube then too!! I think it's magic.

CharityRoyall · 22/12/2020 21:14

Hi guys, can I join? Lurked on a few of these threads for months but never posted regularly! I’m on my third cycle of tracking and trying, but have been off the pill since August. I ovulate between days 21-23 of a 31 day cycle, so have a short LP to contend with.
Used pre-seed this month and was feeling really positive but I’ve had some very light pink spotting today and then a tiny bit of brown (8dpo). Boobs are quite sore. Due on Christmas Eve and I think it’s imminent...trying to tell myself this is implantation bleeding but I’m sure it’s not.
Only 3 cycles in and I know there’s people that have been trying for so much longer but I’m already feeling a bit worried about it. Need to learn to be patient!

CharityRoyall · 22/12/2020 21:16

Also had a pelvic ultrasound yesterday just to check on stuff. Womb and ovaries both fine so that’s reassuring but I know there’s other things that could be wrong (if anything at all is wrong!)

Emmgrem · 22/12/2020 21:25

@CharityRoyall I'm 8dpo too but only first cycle. I swear the sore boobs symptom is nothing I ever had pre-pill as a pms symptom so I'm hoping that's a good sign?
How did you manage to get a pelvic ultrasound after only 3 months or trying, or did you go private? Glad to hear everything is looking ok down there for you though, 3 months is so early so I'm sure it'll happen soon!

CharityRoyall · 22/12/2020 21:42

@Emmgrem well I was surprised too - I had a GP appointment about something unrelated and mentioned it all to my doctor, as it took about 6 weeks for my period to make an appearance. She straight away referred me for an ultrasound to put my mind at rest! I didn’t think much of it but after being on here for a while I see it’s quite unusual.
On the mini-pill I never used to get periods or PMS symptoms so hard to know about the sore boobs. I see conflicting things as well - some women have really sore boobs before BFP, others say no pain at all. It’s just a minefield!

Tootiredtosleep1 · 22/12/2020 22:41

@poppins2016 Nye would definitely be sensible but I think "sensible" goes out of the window when on the tww 😂 I have internet cheapies the the drawer that I'm already dying to use! x

loumsc · 23/12/2020 07:14

@Tootiredtosleep1 I got a negative on 10dpo but faint line at 11dpo and just got a clear pregnant on a clear blue digital this morning! So even if it is negative on christmas day, there's still hopeSmile

IndigoJam · 23/12/2020 07:48

Is this invalid do you think?

@IndigoJam

It looks like some dye has run (my OPKs do this sometimes) but that line is still pink. I'd say congratulations are in order! Flowers
Poppins2016 · 23/12/2020 08:04

@Tootiredtosleep1 me too! I have ICs and a frer...

I'll test on Christmas day (9dpo) just because it would be lovely to share the news with DH on Christmas morning... I'm also happy to test then because know I won't be disappointed if it's negative because I'll still be in with a chance!

sunshineandshowers3 · 23/12/2020 08:14

Hi everyone 😊hope you don’t mind me joining. Currently in the tww (8dpo). No other symptoms apart from feeling very tired. Got an inkling I’m out this month but we shall see 🤞. I’m 28 and my DP is 30, been ttc since May. How long has everyone else been trying for? Hoping for lots of BFP’s soon! Xxx

IndigoJam · 23/12/2020 08:15

@Poppins2016 I have a frer but have been putting off using that. I got the same type of result on of those tests yesterday. I have had those sitting in a drawer for 6 months so thinking that could be why the dye is running

CarlyAM · 23/12/2020 08:18

@IndigoJam still looks like a line to me!! Congrats! 🥳 x
