My BBT dropped again today. It's dropped 3 days in a row. I now have backache and cramps so I'm justing waiting for AF to arrive. Not due until Sat BUT I feel like this could be a 26 day cycle. I ov day 12 so think it will arrive tomorrow tbh.

Morning :) I am going slightly crazy with impatience today haha...keep staring at my Flo app calendar to check the date from ovulation in the hope that time might magically move forward..and also driving my husband round the bend Blush. Last night he said ā€˜I really hope you’re pregnant’ and I thought that was mega sweet till he said ā€˜so you stop banging on about it!’

Sorry to hear about the BFNs so far but there’s definitely still hope until AF arrives. I did one of the cheap one step tests this morning at 8dpo because I’m crazy...

mumtoone2019 · 24/02/2021 10:48

Morning @Alice4563 . Fingers crossed for youšŸ¤žšŸ» deffo not crazy i have done 2 early tests so far both BFN. It's so difficult to keep positive but we will get there in the end. When is AF Due?x

Well I got this blinder this evening 😯😯😯 anyone know how reliable these digital tests are?! In total shock...

TWW! Lets keep eachother sane
WrongendoftheSTIX · 24/02/2021 21:26

Wow! @ACMJ as far as I know you have to have lots of pregnancy hormones to get a 'pregnant' on a CB Digital. I'd say it's pretty conclusive especially if you did it in the afternoon!
Congratulations!

Alice4563 · 24/02/2021 21:47

@ACMJ wow huge congrats!! I’ve not heard of anyone getting false positives except for the evap lines on some of the tests but definitely doesn’t apply to the digital so think you’re good!

Alice4563 · 24/02/2021 21:50

@mumtoone2019 I think AF is next Tuesday but my cycles have been a bit weird. I dread to think how many pregnancy tests I’ve got through including previous pregnancies. Think I need to go on some pee on a stick type AA meeting

mumtoone2019 · 24/02/2021 22:34

@ACMJ congratulations lovely!

@ACMJ wow that's amazing, I'm so pleased for you!!

ACMJ · 25/02/2021 06:37

@WrongendoftheSTIX @Alice4563 @mumtoone2019 @Bee44 thank you so much everyone I can’t actually believe it! After trying for 18 months it feels very unbelievable! I did a very detailed dpo diary this month if this would benefit anyone?? My fingers are crossed for you all xx

WrongendoftheSTIX · 25/02/2021 07:33

I'm out - BFN this am. Just waiting for AF to arrive now. Definitely, adding a ferti-lily and some more vits. to our next cycle.

mumtoone2019 · 25/02/2021 08:02

@ACMJ i'm so happy for you and would deffo benefit me if possible please x

@ACMJ lovely to hear some positive news and much deserved after 18 months! That would be good to see thanks, will indulge my symptom spotting mind a bit more Grin

sakuramiyagi · 26/02/2021 12:55

I'm 7 DPO, caved this morning and took a test (pointless, I know) and it was unsurprisingly negative. I am climbing the walls. This TWW has been the worst ever and I'm finding it soul destroying.

Sorry for being such a Debbie Downer, I just needed to vent! 😩

Alice4563 · 26/02/2021 14:26

@sakuramiyagi no worries on needing to vent, I’m totally with you there! I’m 9dpo, thought I was 10 but realised I’d got my dates wrong..tested this morning but no luck. It’s crazy isn’t it I tell myself I’ll try be relaxed and then get progressively more unhinged as my period approaches haha. Are you trying for your first baby?

sakuramiyagi · 26/02/2021 15:06

@Alice4563 Yes we are trying for our first, in the last 3 years I've had multiple miscarriages. We just can't seem to get a pregnancy to stick longer than 11-12 weeks.

It's getting to the point where we might stop trying and just accept our fate. It is so exhausting.

Are you trying for your first too?

mumtoone2019 · 26/02/2021 17:44

Quick question - how long after a missed period has people had to wait for positive test? (If you've been pregnant before)

OP posts:
sakuramiyagi · 26/02/2021 18:01

I've got BFP's either the day before or on the day my period was due.

Alice4563 · 26/02/2021 18:26

@sakuramiyagi I’m so sorry to hear of your losses and what must have been a very hard few years :( wish you the best of luck this month, the TWW is the worst! We’re trying for second baby I have a 13 month old but we had a miscarriage in December at 10 weeks..Not holding much hope this month as I still don’t feel like my cycle / hormones have settled down.

Alice4563 · 26/02/2021 18:28

@mumtoone2019 I got a positive at 10dpo with both pregnancies (in the evening for both so closer to 11dpo). I’ve heard plenty on here who haven’t gotten one until after a missed period though so think it can vary a lot! You can implant as late as 12dpo then take a couple days for hormones to rise.

WrongendoftheSTIX · 26/02/2021 19:50

My AF arrived as expected. Glad I can still read a BBT chart after all these years!

Alice4563 · 27/02/2021 07:02

@WrongendoftheSTIX I’m sorry to hear that :( I took a frer this morning at 10dpo and it was negative so not holding much hope. Fingers crossed for us both next month. I might try tracking BBT not done that yet.

mumtoone2019 · 27/02/2021 07:36

@WrongendoftheSTIX sorry to hear that. Fingers crossed for next month for youšŸ¤žšŸ»
