I had a chemical at 5wks, 5 days on 27th feb, after a week of positive pregnancy tests.

Luckily it feels my cycle has returned quite quickly, anyone else at 3DPO? xx

@PinkPurpleParade it seems a lot of the other threads suggest at least 10dpo onwards (and ideally not until the first day of a missed period) but I think all of us here can sympathise with how tempting it is to test earlier. I've heard of people with positive tests as early as 8dpo whilst others haven't had a positive until 13/14dpo. I don't think there's a right answer whilst our bodies are all so different and it also depends on how sensitive the test is.

Ps @PinkPurpleParade welcome and good luck Thanks

My opks are back to faint lines today -- I'm pretty sure I ovulated after the first surge so who knows what that was. Still feel annoyingly normal...

PinkPurpleParade · 23/03/2021 21:13

Thanks @JGessie Smile

I started testing at 6dpo last month and cost myself a fortune in tests. I was so so convinced I was pregnant - I was sick at 7dpo and had aversions to loads of foods, felt tired and achy and just generally off. BFN!

I think I may take my first test Saturday at 10dpo. The wait is so hard though!

JGessie · 23/03/2021 21:26

@PinkPurpleParade I'm 10dpo on Saturday too and am planning to test first thing in the morning, I have my fingers crossed for us both, please let us know how you get on 🤞🏻🤞🏻

I'm hoping I can keep busy with work during the day but the evenings are long. The only saving grace is that by the evening there's no point testing as any HCG levels (if even there) will be so weak! If anyone's found any solutions to keep your mind off it during the quieter hours I'm all ears!

Wish I could just chill out but we've wanted it for so long and life has thrown us some shitty hands so we had to put off TTC until now. This is only our first cycle but feels like we have been waiting for our BFP forever! My heart goes out to every single person here longing for their BFP DaffodilDaffodil

MsK89 · 23/03/2021 21:38

@JGessie @PinkPurpleParade please update what your result is on Saturday! Fingers crossed for you both 🤞🏼

I’m going to hold off til Monday if I make it that far without AF showing up. I haven’t got any tests at home yet this cycle

It’s Wednesday tomorrow, so half way through the week, we’re getting there girls

Thanks @MsK89 - you too, I'd love it if we all got our BFPs! Grin

Sunshinexx95 · 23/03/2021 23:09

@JGessie and @MsK89
Ohh don't say that your question does make sense bevause before I went there I was wondering the same thing
So basically I have an issue with migraine so my acupuncture lady used to do my upper back and neck
When I asked her about fertility she did all the way done to my bum ( sorry ) it is not painful but because I am very very sensitive my legs twitches when she puts the needles .. it is not painful afterwards though but you will feel so tired and wanna sleep all day so I would go on my day off to rest the entire day afterwards.. the next morning my muscles aches but I feel completely fine :)

JGessie · 24/03/2021 08:56

@Sunshinexx95 oh this doesn't sound too bad (apart from the tiredness) - I think if I get a BFN this month I will give it a go. I also get migraines so wondering if it will help with that too, at least that way if it doesn't give me a BFP I could be headache free!! Sounds like a dream, thank you for taking the time to explain!

Mybobowler · 24/03/2021 09:01

Please can I join? I think I'm 4 or 5DPO today (positive OPK on Thursday morning). We've been TTC our second baby since December. Had what I'm fairly sure was a chemical pregnancy in January, and not a sniff of a positive since. This month we've done SMEP and I've taken agnus castus in hopes of lengthening my luteal phase. I'm trying not to start symptom spotting already but I'm not doing very well at that! AF due on Tuesday (short cycles) but I might cave and do an FRER on Monday. Would love some company!

Seasalt1984 · 24/03/2021 13:05

@pinkpurpleparade I'm trying to hold off testing until as close to AF due date as I can... but I might cave over the weekend!

@mybobowler welcome! I've done SMEP a few times, pretty tiring but helped me to feel like we'd made a good effort!

I'm about 9DPO and even though I'm really trying not to symptom spot this month I totally am! It's like two conversations going on in my brain "oo symptoms!" vs. "could be anything stop reading into it!" 🤪 I've had some cramping and my boobs are definitely heavier today and my energy is loooow, but that could all be PMT symptoms. When I got my first BFP I had really obvious wave-like cramping at 8DPO and nausea kicked in quickly so not holding out much hope for this month. But will see!

PinkPurpleParade · 25/03/2021 09:06

Having terrible cramps today! Bloated and eating everything in sight too. Worried AF is arriving but it's very early. Tiny part of me hoping for implantation cramps but I know it's unlikely, feels very much like PMS. However AF not due til next Tuesday so not really sure!

JGessie · 25/03/2021 09:42

@PinkPurpleParade I felt exactly the same yesterday (7dpo) and today (8dpo) with a little bit of nausea too. Trying not to convince myself it's implantation as it feels very much like AF is on her way, although it's much too early for that, I'm on cd25 and I usually have 29-31 day cycles. AF currently predicted for Mar 31 in my apps.

Got ahead of myself this morning and did a cheapie test and it was a BFN of course. Don't know what came over me, 8dpo is far too early for a cheapie. I've got two FRERs which I'm trying to save for 10dpo (Saturday) and then first day AF is due (if she doesn't arrive).

LittleDoveLove · 25/03/2021 10:55

Negative for me this month. 🤞 for those waiting to test x

JGessie · 25/03/2021 10:59

Sorry to hear that @LittleDoveLove, I hope next month is your month 🤞🏻

Sunshinexx95 · 25/03/2021 12:07

Hi everyone ❤️
I am 7dpo today ... just tested and bnf
It is too early but I have an addiction to testing early 😅

PinkPurpleParade · 25/03/2021 12:28

@Sunshinexx95 I'm totally with you, I wasted a FRER yesterday at 7dpo. No idea why, obviously going to be negative, literally pissed away £3!!! Envy (not envy)

Trying my best to hold off til Saturday now.

JGessie · 25/03/2021 12:44

@Sunshinexx95 @PinkPurpleParade I wasted one yesterday on 7dpo and one today on 8dpo - got BFN on both. I have x2 FRERs so trying to save those for Saturday morning. Please let me know how you both get on if you're testing Saturday too!

Sunshinexx95 · 25/03/2021 17:23

@PinkPurpleParade @JGessie
I think I will hold on till Saturday I won't test tomorrow that is for sure hahaaaa and I say that every evening but fail to resist the morning after.. let's push each other not to test till at least Saturday ... I was thinking to wait till Monday since it is my birthday and anniversary haha but let's see if I can resist .. I would be 11-12 dpo :/

PinkPurpleParade · 25/03/2021 17:32

I'm awful. Did another FRER just now, so stupid of me, obviously negative as it's the middle of the day and I'm only 8dpo!!

Right, no one is allowed to POAS tomorrow! Grin

JGessie · 25/03/2021 17:46

We can do this!! No POAS until Saturday!! 💪🏻💪🏻

Sunshinexx95 · 25/03/2021 17:49

Let's do it !!! Until Saturday it is not a long time just roughly 36 hours 🙏 we can do that

MsK89 · 25/03/2021 18:05

Hi girls ❤️

I’ve had a mad 48 hours, my dad got rushed to hospital and he’s very poorly. It’s definitely helped speed up the TWW 🙈

Had PMS symptoms today and some brown spotting. Pretty sure this means I’m out, but maybe it’s stress too causing the symptoms, who knows.... the wait continues!

OP posts:
PinkPurpleParade · 25/03/2021 18:16

Oh gosh @MsK89 sending you lots of love that's awful!

I'm not having a great time either. Less serious than yours just crazy work stress and difficult extended family issues.

Also just had the fright of my life emptying the bathroom bin and found a preg test from about 3 weeks ago (I've been working away I promise I usually empty my bin weekly Blush) and it is positive! Obviously an evap line but it was so exciting just to see a positive test!!

3DPO anyone want to TWW with me?
Sunshinexx95 · 25/03/2021 18:24

@MsK89 I'm sorry to hear about your dad, sending you a lot of love 🙏 I hope he will get better soon

@PinkPurpleParade
Omg that is scary if that is an evaporation line then i can't trust any pregnancy tests anymore hehe ... it looks really pink to me
