7DPO...

[line123eyesalways]

I'm 7DPO today (I think) and driving myself mad with symptom spotting....

Is anyone else in the same boat?

When I tested last time before mc it was night time and then done several more and right after and it came up straight away, I think you should defo do one x

@Lauraliverpool what brand was it? Did it disappear within the 3 minutes?

@MadamMaltesers I have a few cramps but nothing like I usually would.. it's just the sore boobs! I never usually get them like this! And I usually break out quite a bit before AF and I haven't this month!

@Kallie92 How many DPO when you tested? x

Morning, @line123eyesalways fingers crossed!!
I've been feeling a bit crampy this morning, which isn't normal for AF unless it's coming early but nothing so far. I wouldn't even say it's proper cramps, just a bit of a heavy feeling maybe? Don't know how to describe it 😂
How's everyone doing today? CD 26 for me today, AF due Thursday.

@MamaSJ15 Morning! :)

Yeah I know exactly what you mean. I was so bloated last night so I really do think AF is on her way, I'm going to test tomorrow as DP is eager to know too haha, unless AF makes an early appearance! x

@line123eyesalways it's pre mom one step tests, yep think it did disappear within the 3 minutes. According to flo app period due in 2 days.

@Lauraliverpool They require 25miu of HCG don't they? Maybe it's just a bit too early? x

@line123eyesalways I’ve always actually found that I get a strong positive in the afternoon! When I was pregnant with my DS I got a strong positive on the day I was due at about 6pm but only a very faint one in the mornings after. Good luck for when you test, keep us updated!

I’m CD23 today and symptom spotting like mad. I think my mind is playing tricks on me as the more I think about it’s I’m not sure we DTD on the right dates this month. If my cycle follows last cycle then I’m due on tomorrow, but if it follows other cycles then will be more like Saturday. So planning on testing maybe tomorrow, Friday, and then Sunday if no appearance!

I need to start OV tracking next month so I don’t have this confusion at least.

How’s everyone else doing in terms of symptoms etc?

@charl881 I've always thought to take one in the morning as by the afternoon I've drunk so much it's so diluted haha! I'm also not due for another 2 days so would morning or afternoon be best? What symptoms have you got?

I'm starting to get a mild back ache so it does look like AF will be arriving!! x

I was 11dpo at night when I tested the last time! On a frer xx

Thanks for all of your kind messages about my miscarriages ❤️

Im testing with left over hcg from a miscarriage and decided to stick them all in a notepad from now on so that I remember how light/dark they were for something to compare to.

These are from the last 2 days although the top one wasnt FMU so is a bit lighter. Hoping they start getting darker. Even if they get lighter I'll be glad to know that it's leaving my system!

My hcg level from blood tests last Thursday were only 7 so I think these tests are a lot stronger than we think 🤔

It's going to be a long few days to see it if gets darker. Why have I done this to myself 🙈

@Kallie92 Ah I'm scared!! haha. I think I can only get hold of clear blue early detection until tomorrow so not sure what to do as I've heard they're not very good! x

Forgot to attach the pic

@chasingtherainbow1 Hi! There are no pictures attached.

FX they're going to get darker! xx

@line123eyesalways well this morning I thought my nipples looked darker but now I think I was imagining it! The last two mornings I’ve had strange leg cramps, not a typical pregnancy symptom I know but not sure what else it could be.

I would say you’re best to test in the morning but if it was me I would do both morning and afternoon 🙈

@chasingtherainbow1 they're definitely getting darker! I hope they get darker for you! x

@charl881 haha I've held off until now and all I want to do is POAS every time I need a wee!

I'll hold off until the morning.... unless I buy a test at lunch haha x

@chasingtherainbow1they look quite strong to me, especially the middle one! Good luck, keeping my fingers crossed for you.

@line123eyesalways I hope so too! I think I'm due af on Friday so might try and leave it until then. I don't know how you resist the temptation to test! Wish I was as strong as you with it!

@charl881 thank you 😊

Hoping to see some BFP's on this thread soon. Could do with some good news even if it's not my own 🤞 everyone

@chasingtherainbow1 I'm just being tight and not wanting to buy tests haha! Also I go to lunch with some colleagues so don't want them to see me buying them and don't usually stop off on the way home so I always have an excuse not to get them!

I can''t wait to start seeing some test either! x

@line123eyesalways you’re tempting me now! I don’t know why I never had this POAS addiction when trying first time around, i didn’t test until the evening AF was due and even then I just did it as a spur of the moment thing as I found a spare test!

@charl881 sorry haha! I know it's still 2 days early but I don't know if I can wait any longer! At least the later you test the more accurate it will be! When do you think you're going to test? x

@line123eyesalways I’m thinking Wednesday, Friday, then Sunday (as long as AF doesn’t arrive). I can’t imagine I would get to Sunday without either AF or a positive though!

@charl881 ah sorry, you did say! I really want to get an FRER but nowhere round me sells them! That's what I get for living in a small town I guess! If I test tomorrow and it's negative I'm probably going to wait until Sunday too, like you say, if AF hasn't arrived! x
