Currently 1DPO (I think). Got a positive OPK on Thursday so assuming I ovulated either yesterday or maybe today. Have had sore boobs, bloating and cramping today.

Anyone else at the same stage who wants to wait with me?

@GemLooper huge congrats! 💐

Commiserations to all the others getting BFNs, I got one too this morning at 9DPO. I'd been feeling so woozy and nauseous this weekend I'd got my hopes up 😔 If I look closely enough at my test I can convince myself there's a vvvvvvvvfl - have also been tweaking a photo of it and need to stop - but probably just wishful thinking! I've read that around 50% of pregnant people will get a false negative at 9DPO* so just reeeeeally hoping that's the case - agh hate the 2ww!

overtherainbow21 · 28/06/2021 10:36

@Poppydoppy18 I know that feeling having suffered a late loss, I've managed to keep a lid on it so far during TTC this time - in fact I'm more worried about not falling pregnant!- but do wonder if a BFP would spark a lot of anxiety for me. I'm sorry to hear you've been through this, definitely keep an eye on how you're feeling and do talk to people about it (especially GP/midwife if you fall) if it's taking over a lot of your thoughts.

Hi everyone,
sorry for everyone with a BFN. @JAL2 what a shame you got it on your bday. Happy birthday anyway and hopefully you'll still enjoy your day a bit 💐.

@GemLooper yay for that picture!! How you feeling? @JuneySunshine hooray for catching the surge, your optimism is great. Can you both send optimism/baby dust to everyone?

Sorry to hear people have lost hope. I'm feeling down today too - my 'knowing' feeling disappeared last night. I was so calm before and totally 'knew' I'm pregnant (I know, crazy). It has totally changed and now I'm anxious and over analysing (and some symptoms are reducing). To top it off I found an old (but within date) CB but the control line didn't show so obviously it's invalid. Question: can you use FMU you've kept in a cup (which I did) and use it later as thinking of maybe buying a FRER?

rathernotshare · 28/06/2021 12:14

@SATCfan that's exactly how I feel! Sorry, don't know about using the FMU

Had a very vivid dream last night that I had a baby boy 😞

SATCfan · 28/06/2021 12:24

@rathernotshare no worries, I'm sure someone will know re FMU. Might try to hold off testing anyway.

Aw I hope hope hope your dream comes true. I thought I'd read that people dreaming they're pregnant is a sign they're pregnant, not meaning to give you false hope though. 🤞🏻🤞🏻 for both of us - and everyone else too of course 🥰

GeorgiaJ92 · 28/06/2021 15:55

Hi all,

Is anyone still in the 2WW? I'm 7dp5dt now, trigger shot was 15 days ago and we got a BFP today. Keeping everything crossed that it stays that way!

JuneySunshine · 28/06/2021 16:28

Hi @GeorgiaJ92

And congratulations Flowers
Sorry I don't really understand the timings for you- is there any reason, beyond the usual, to be hesitant now?

I'm still hanging around in the TWW. I posted above, but basically, this was my first month I caught the LH surge using OPKs and we dtd 2/3 times around the right time.

I've never really felt like there was anything other than an outside chance other months so this is big progress for me. Trying not to obsess as only 2DPO- but failing miserably Smile

What's the next step for you?

T2710 · 28/06/2021 19:40

Congratulations @GeorgiaJ92
7dpo here. I ordered some more ICs from Amazon that should come tomorrow. I've seen good things about their sensitivity so I'll prob end up testing tomorrow. Likely to early but don't mind wasting a cheapie. Trying not to spend £££ on a million FRERs

BritInNZ · 28/06/2021 19:58

7DPO here! I won't test until AF doesn't arrive though. I was thinking of testing early because I have a wedding at the weekend so will have some drinks, but I find AF arriving less traumatic (and less expensive!) than using my FRERs!

Ailie12 · 29/06/2021 07:29

@JAL2 When you get LH peak, it indicates you are likely to ovulate within 24-36 hours after that, and your most fertile days should be the day before the peak, the peak day and the ovulation day.

rathernotshare · 29/06/2021 08:05

Another day, another game of evap or pregnant 🧐 it came up right away but it's sooooo faint

BritInNZ · 29/06/2021 08:31

usual PMS symptoms, no surprise there (still hurting nonetheless).

I have a question - does everyone here get EWCM? I don't and now I'm wondering whether that might be contributing to me struggling to get pregnant. I've read on Google it's not always EW, can be watery, but wanting to know what everyone else experiences. I do notice more CM which is what I'd consider a bit more watery around time of ovulation but I don't know if that's 'fertile' CM?

BritInNZ · 29/06/2021 08:32

@rathernotshare

A line is still a line! How many DPO are you? Any pics of the test?
rathernotshare · 29/06/2021 08:52

@BritInNZ I do get EWCM usually on ovulation day, but not always. I don't pay too much attention (tmi but I only notice if it comes out in a glob 🤢)

It's soooo faint I can't seem to get it on a photo, it's the full thickness of a line though (cheapie). When I've had evaps before they have been very thin lines. Being 11dpo if it's not an evap, I'd have thought it would be clearer so I'm not convinced Confused

GeorgiaJ92 · 29/06/2021 09:15

@JuneySunshine Thank you! Timing wise it's 7 days past my 5 day transfer with IVF! I got another strong BFP today so now I'm certain it's not the trigger! So excited.

Keep positive and you've got this lovely

abbs1 · 29/06/2021 10:03

I did a cheapy test this morning and swear i could see a line! Can anyone recommend if i should get a FRER or clearblue for tomorrow?

overtherainbow21 · 29/06/2021 11:19

@rathernotshare oooh sounds promising! You're giving me renewed hope after another BFN at 10DPO this morning! I feel like a line of the same thickness as the control which appears immediately can't be an evap surely? Everything crossed for your retest ✨

@abbs1 this also sounds exciting! I always see people recommending FRER but I've had reliable results from CB in the past too. Good luck!

abbs1 · 29/06/2021 11:25

@overtherainbow21 im gonna get one of each and use FRER tomorrow and uf it's positive wait to the weekend to do the CB

T2710 · 29/06/2021 11:29

@abbs1 is personally go for FRER as I think in the early days they're easier to read than a blue test.

I ordered. Few bits from Amazon to get free delivery. Tests were supposed to be coming today, everything else on Thursday. Everything else has just been delivered and still waiting for tests.

I've been more crampy last night and this morning, could be early af symptoms o don't know. Hate the waiting and guessing. Going to try not to drink too much and hold my wee until those tests come!!

overtherainbow21 · 29/06/2021 11:41

@abbs1 sounds like a good plan. How many DPO are you? Sending lots of positive thoughts for a positive test your way ✨

@T2710 the waiting is the worst, especially just before AF due- by far my least favourite point in TTC. Good luck, hope they arrive quickly!

abbs1 · 29/06/2021 11:45

@overtherainbow21 i did ovulation sticks and they were high the 18th and 19th of June so dtd 19th and 20th. So from my app im 10/11dpo as im not sure of exact ovulation day. Hopefully tomorrow the line is darker and better on the FRER

abbs1 · 29/06/2021 11:49

@T2710 oh I hope the tests come quickly for you and you get your bfp. I had some cramping Sunday and Monday and DH commented on my boobs looking bigger 😂
I suffered with horrendous hyperemesis with my little boy so im hoping its not as bad this time but im definitely more prepared and know what to expect if it returns.

overtherainbow21 · 29/06/2021 11:51

@abbs1 sounds right to me - I peaked on 19th so think I'm a day behind you! I feel like I must be out but realise it's still a bit early so will try again tomorrow. I looked back in the thread by the way and saw what you said about cramping which would fit with the timing for implantation and then getting a faint positive today...sounds promising!

abbs1 · 29/06/2021 11:54

@overtherainbow21 youre not out yet. In my previous pregnancy i didnt get bfp till 4 days after period was due so you still have time and remember everyones hcg levels rise differently. Keeping my fingers crossed for you hun xx

overtherainbow21 · 29/06/2021 11:56

That's encouraging to hear, thanks @abbs1 ! X
