AF every month 27th
Last AF December 27th
positive ovulation test Jan 15th. DTD 14th & 15th. AF due Jan 27th.
When is the earliest you would test?
I'm definitely not imagining it but have more discharge than usual, stomach always rumbling even while eating. Gas, horrendous low back pain and cramps. Sorry if tmi.
I know alot is common AF signs....but you know how it is when you are hopeful.
Thanks x

@Mamaforever Congrats!!! 🎉

@Giraffe888 welcome! Lots of baby dust to us all!

So tempted to POAS tomorrow morning even though logic says it's too early. I have no will power. I know it will be a BFN but will still be disappointed. Why do we do this to ourselves?! I need self control!

@Sesamechick how many DPO will you be tomorrow? I'll be 10, again I know I can't test early and yet I keep doing it and probably will again tomorrow 😬

Sesamechick · 24/02/2021 20:54

@imalmostthere

Not completely sure! According to 2 diff apps, I ovulated on the 16th/17th. I'm counting from the 17th and AF due on the 2nd. I suppose I'll be 8dpo tomorrow.
When is your AF due? I'm sure some have had a BFP at 10dpo but everyone is different
Some only get it after AF due. It's frustrating isn't it!
I'm trying so hard not to symptom spot but I shamefully admit, it is impossible! Last month I was convinced I was pregnant. Weirdest symptoms! I keep trying to tell myself i wont get a BFP this month just to avoid disappointment but that obv wont stop me from POAS 🙈

@Sesamechick I'm due on March 2nd, I definitely didn't test pos this early with my other two dc. Infact, I tested the day before my wedding as I felt pregnant and it was neg, and I got my BFP the day after our wedding day 😂

Sesamechick · 24/02/2021 21:25

@imalmostthere
Best wedding present!!
I also never tested this early with my others. I was so much more relaxed and never knew when my fertile window was nor ovulation!

Keep us updated if u test tomorrow!

@imalmostthere

Are you having any symptoms?
I'm still feeling extremely nauseous and have this constant dull ache in my lower stomach. Could be PMS! Who bloody (excuse the pun) knows?! X

OP posts:
imalmostthere · 24/02/2021 22:15

@Sesamechick oh my gosh exactly the same - I'm so nauseous and gassy! I never (sorry tmi) burp, but when I'm pregnant I don't stop - plus just like you, cramping. It feels like I'm about to come on and it happens intermittently and has done since about 3DPO. I'm also irrationally hi hungry one minute and urging the next - I guess it all could be pms but I really don't know! I just want to know 😩

Sesamechick · 25/02/2021 06:55

@imalmostthere

It's impossible not to symptom spot when we feeling so rough and experience new symptoms. The tww really is torture! My stomach is still quite uncomfortable. Constant dull ache.
Think I'll poas tomorrow morning with a cheap stick. Why not right?
When you testing? X

Giraffe888 · 25/02/2021 12:50

I’ve got no symptoms here but I didn’t with my first. Only thing I got with him was I had some pinky/red discharge at 9dpo

imalmostthere · 25/02/2021 13:34

@Sesamechick tested today at 10dpo with a FRER and BFN. Going to wait until Sunday now I think x

Sesamechick · 25/02/2021 13:40

@Giraffe888

Do you usually get symptoms before AF?
I had the smallest speck of v v light blood on tpilet paper yesterday. I just happened to see it. Dont know wth that was about. I feel so rough today. Still got cramps/dull ache but I'm convincing myself its PMS bc we didnt DTD enough this month! Time will tell!

@imalmostthere
10dpo is still early! Dont lose faith! I also shamefully did an ic and obv BFN not surprised!!

OP posts:
Giraffe888 · 25/02/2021 15:40

@Sesamechick no I don’t really get symptoms before AF either

We dtd mon, thurs & sat and I got pos opk on thurs so I probably ov’d on fri

Babycakes39 · 25/02/2021 15:50

@Sesamechick I had a small speck of blood when I had implantation bleeding with my ds14! Fingers crossed for you!

Sesamechick · 25/02/2021 17:02

@Giraffe888 ooohhhhh fingers crossed for you!!

@Babycakes39

Ahhh really?! I've never had that before. I still don't think I'm in with a chance this month but I guess time will tell. Really hoping though!!
Do you remember after your IB how soon after you got your BFP? Xx

OP posts:
Babycakes39 · 25/02/2021 17:21

@Sesamechick it was a long time ago but I always remember it that I had my bfp before my implantation bleed as I then went to get an early scan as I was worried. Had an eternal scan and there was a tiny heartbeat and the nurse said it was implantation bleeding. But not heard of people getting bfp before IB?!

Sesamechick · 25/02/2021 17:26

@Babycakes39

I haven't either! That's pretty amazing!
My fertile window was 11th-17th. We only DTD 11th and 14th. According to 2 diff apps, I either ovulated 16th or 17th.... really not hopeful! X

OP posts:
Babycakes39 · 25/02/2021 17:28

@Sesamechick it only takes once! Fingers crossed for you! 🤞 Xx

Sesamechick · 25/02/2021 17:38

@Babycakes39 thanks and you!! X

Giraffe888 · 26/02/2021 09:33

Just done an IC and it was negative. I’m only 7dpo though so I’m not surprised

Sesamechick · 26/02/2021 10:16

@Giraffe888

7dpo is very early to test but don't blame you for testing. It's so hard not to! I also poas this morning...BFN. Not surprised.
When do you think you'll test again? When is AF due? X

OP posts:
Giraffe888 · 26/02/2021 11:54

@Sesamechick I know it was DH that made me do it. He was gutted it was negative but I told him it would be!

Well based on my usual 26 day cycle then AF is due on Sunday. But because I ov’d last fri my app is saying AF not due until 6th but that’s because it’s trying to do 2wks from ov

My LP has always been short though

Giraffe888 · 27/02/2021 16:47

DH made me test again today but no surprise it was negative

I’ve got really bad ibs pains today which I always get when AF is due

Sesamechick · 28/02/2021 07:28

@Giraffe888

Sorry for the delay in writing!
Sweet that your DH is excited and wanting you to test. Precise reason why I don't tell my DH anything hahaha he has no idea when ny AF is due, I don't mention symptoms etc he is very chilled by nature and always says it will happen when it happens. Makes it easier for me to poas haha also hopefully when it is a BFP I would like to surprise him. The shocked face is priceless lol
Dont forget you are still early so BFP can still come! As they say you're not out till AF shows.

Tofay I'm 11/12dpo and BFN. Still have this horrendous dull ache in my lower tummy.
Deep down i kmow AF will appear but also deep down i am secretly hoping I'll be surprised and get my BFP.

Fingers crossed for us all xx

Giraffe888 · 28/02/2021 08:21

Morning @Sesamechick

I don’t know if it’s a good or bad thing that DH is so involved?! 😂 he made me test again this morning but I’ve told him it’s still too early

Have you tested again?

Did you say you’ve got 3 children? How okd are they? X

Sesamechick · 28/02/2021 08:28

@Giraffe888

I personally think it is sweet he is so involved.
My husband would be the one telling me no point to test unless AF late. He is chilled and sees the logic in everything. Not me. If i want to poas after dtd then damn right i will (hasnt happened yet lol)

I tested this morning BFN. AF due tue!
Yes I have 3 others
DD16
DS14
DD5.5 xxx
