New thread ladies!!! 😍😍😍

I can't see any of the old messages to properly comment and tag people - aaargh!!

But here's to lots of healthy, happy, sticky BFPs in this thread!!! 😘😘😘🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻

@VixFromThe6ix
I am 9dpo and I got a BFN , i bought those easy@home tests. I think they are supposed to be quite sensitive xx

@VixFromThe6ix I have the easy@home ones . Barely saw anything at 12dpo got more obvious from 14dpo x

That's what I'm using... If they are sensitive then my hope just dwindled down lol @MgW1 @gummybear17

@VixFromThe6ix I don't think they are that sensitive. The FRER are the best ones for early testing I think . @MgW1 I got BFNs with easy@home until 13DPO so don't lose hope . 9dpo is really early !!!

@Gummybear17
@VixFromThe6ix
I know its early ... i cant help myself with a box of 20 😂🙈 i need some will power!
I know implantation doesnt occur until 7-10 dpo xx

@MgW1 I was exactly the same . Started at 8dpo and kept testing as I had so many tests every day I felt more and more down looking at the bfn . Tested at 12dpo as that was when the app told me I should and I genuinely had given up . When I saw the line I was completely shocked !!! The TWW is awful

@Gummybear17 @VixFromThe6ix @MgW1 I never test early but you ladies talking about it makes me want to haha! Only 7dpo though so not yet...god the TWW is a killer!!

Sorry @Misty84 - don't do it be strong !!! You've got this x

@Misty84
@Gummybear17
I hadnt planned on testing early was going to wait for AF but gave in!!!
Gummybear - did you have bfn at 11dpo? Was 12 faint? X

@MgW1 yes bfn at 11dpo started Googling HCG doubling times and convinced myself I wasn't out. Tried again with FRER at 12dpo and got faint pos and a barely noticeable pos on the easy @home . I will send a pic when I get home to show you x

@Gummybear17
Yes please to posting the pic xx
Im always googling!!! Its a nightmare isnt it 🙈 i know its super early , i think 11dpo is average for a bfp on a frer xx

[quote Misty84]@Pamparam We are cycle buddies. Sending love and strength your way, so sorry to hear you’ve been having a tough time in addition to the stresses of TTC x[/quote]
❤️❤️ thanks lovely! X

Welcome @Flossyvossy and other newbies I have missed.

Staying strong over here at 7 dpo too, I don’t think I’ll test - famous last words. My Fitbit broke so I can’t even obsess over my heart rate 😂 keeping my eyes peeled for more BFPs though and lots of luck to @Gummybear17

@Missmcmonkeymcbean no problem, I've been temping sometime now and can see my patterns (when I have them) but Feefo no big rise mine can be like .1 of a change from fp to Lp

@Pamparam I still haven't worked out what my heart rate is actually supposed to be doing 😂

@MgW1 here are my tests so far, as you can see negative at 10DPO and 11DPO then a proper squinter at 12dpo on easy@home but more obvious line on the FRER x

That’s cool seeing how your tests developed @Gummybear17!

@Gummybear17 your tests are looking great!

@Gummybear17
Oh wow ! How many dpo are you today? How are you feeling? Xx

Thanks @Misty84 here hoping it's a sticky bean ! Starting to believe it a bit more now I can see the darker lines. I guess I just wanted to show that the tests aren't always so accurate early on . I think we have all googled 'pregnancy tests at 7dpo' and found people with strong positives, I do sometimes wonder if they truly were 7dpo or maybe they have a higher baseline Hcg which will mean it's higher in early implementation.

@MgW1 I'm 16dpo today . Main symptoms have been tender breast ( which I get with AF) and needing to pee a lot more than normal . I am feeling quite tired today but I don't know if that because I've spend the past 2 weeks on high alert and worrying about a) getting pregnant and now b) staying pregnant.
Thank you @Misty84 , @Marvellouslymadmum xx

And Thank you @Pamparam .

This forum is so amazing !!
I really want to tell someone but I just don't feel I can just yet so It's lovely to know you ladies are here !

@Gummybear17 oh my goodness!! Look at those bfp's!! That's so exciting. Congratulations !!!

Evening ladies! 😃

@Gummybear17 nice lines!! 😍😍😍

@VixFromThe6ix @Sleeeeeepy woah that is spooky that we had the same dates/experiences! 🤯 I'm currently CD19 and around 5-6dpo - are we cycle buddies too?!

Welcome @Flossyvossy @Missmcmonkeymcbean - it's a totally overwhelming process! But these ladies are awesome and will keep you right/sane! 😃

Boooo to the AF-ers!!! And 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻 to all of us in the TWW!!!!

@M4v3r1ck It's so spooky isn't it! I'm CD10 and think I've missed ovulation while I was still bleeding as I had a lovely EWCM/blood combo (sorry if tmi!) AF still hasn't completely stopped. I think from various scans I've probably got endometriosis which is messing up my hormones.

I'm starting to let go I think, I was considering giving away the big baby things earlier for boring logistical reasons I won't bore you with. Will give it another couple of months to see if things settle I think x

Wow- this thread is moving quickly- I can't keep up! Just wanted to say I'm thinking of you all, especially those with new bfps and those of you approaching the end of tww and hoping, praying and sending positive vibes for positive results all around!
