My periods seem longer since the vaccine too, mine last about 6 days now! I stupidly did a test just now and it's negative, I don't know why I did it. I'm only 6 dpo!! My boobs feel tender so I was feeling optimistic because with my dd I got a positive 8dpo with a cheapy strip test!
When is everyone planning to test? My period is due next weekend x

Heartbrokenmama · 21/08/2021 20:47

@Flowerpot564 thanks doll, will be thinking about you too x

@traveltheworld1986 yes I’ve noticed longer periods as well, I assumed that was due to my body changing postpartum but I suppose it could also be the vaccine. Planning to test tomorrow I think! I’ll be 10dpo (although I suppose could also be 8 or 9dpo as ovulation can happen up to 48 hours after positive opk) and it’ll be 5 days before AF is due and I don’t think I can hold out any longer!! Will be peeing on an frer first thing. Im shocked I’ve not caved sooner but I’m physically terrified of a bfn. When are you planning to test? Xx

traveltheworld1986 · 21/08/2021 21:41

I'm going to TRY and wait until Tues, but I know I'll cave and try test Monday too! I'm so terrible at this! I think because I had an early bfp early with my dd I expect it again, but really need to try and relax!x

I'm 6dpo too. It's my first month TTC number 2 so If Im honest I'll probably test tomorrow 🤣
traveltheworld1986 · 22/08/2021 08:31

Lol I'm exactly the same, first month trying for number 2 as well, already getting way ahead of myself!

Obviously completely negative 🤣

I'll calm down next month.

@cockneysparra1 still plenty of time for that bfn to turn into a bfp!! Will keep my fingers crossed for you.

My test was also a bfn this morning, so gutting when a second line doesn’t appear 😭😭 Today is CD31 for me and probably the longest cycle I’ve ever had. It’s also 8-10 DPO based on getting a positive opk on CD20. Yesterday I was convinced that my spotting and cramps were the start of AF based on my usual 28-30 day cycle length but Flo is preficting a 34-35 day cycle this month. Spotting seems to have stopped this morning and cramps are barely noticeable so who knows what is going on… I’ve had blood work done the past few days to check my progesterone levels (yes I’ve lost the plot) and they’re still rising. No idea what to make of this jumble of symptoms. I think I just have to wait and see what happens in the next few days but not sure where to summon the patience from!!

SpaceLordMother · 22/08/2021 10:49

@Heartbrokenmama 8-10 dpo is still early, keeping fingers crossed for you! 🤞 It's such a frustrating wait isn't it.

@traveltheworld1986 and @cockneysparra1 it's just too tempting isn't it Grin I swear I've spent a small fortune in tests! Still plenty of time for those lines to appear though so I hope this is the month for you both.

I'm out now this month. Tested yesterday and got a very clear negative. AF arrived today and is horrendously heavy and painful. I'm guessing because I skipped it last month but I've been wondering whether something happened as I had faint positives last cycle which turned to negatives. In a way at least now AF has arrived I can draw a line under it and start planning for next cycle.

Wishing you all luck this month, I'll be back soon squinting over lines and agonising over early symptoms Grin

Cruz86 · 22/08/2021 11:12

Does anyone else have a dull ache right in the middle of your uterus? I've been getting a few cramps on the sides, but today feeling a bit heavy and it's in the centre. Not sure what to think of it, don't remember this with my little boy X

Heartbrokenmama · 22/08/2021 11:23

@Cruz86 I barely have any symptoms at all today other than nausea which I’ve had quite frequently the past few months so I’m not sure it’s related. The past 10ish days have been a bloody eternity! But I’ve read that a dull, heavy ache in your uterus is a good sign! How many dpo are you? Fingers crossed XX

Cruz86 · 22/08/2021 11:59

@Heartbrokenmama when is your AF due? I'm only 5-6 dpo but I got a faint positive with my son at 9dpo. We'll see. I just don't feel great, bad belly etc too 😩 xx

Amester21 · 22/08/2021 12:17

@Cruz86

I have had that pain for about a week now.

Fingers crossed its a good sign.

Heartbrokenmama · 22/08/2021 12:35

@Cruz86 I’m not 100% sure to be honest.. I ovulated much later than usual this cycle, sometime around cd21-23 so based on that I’m 8-10dpo and AF due next Friday as my luteal phase is usually 12-14 days long. BFN this am 😞

Kenblove · 22/08/2021 13:46

Hi, I’m new to the tww thing. I have two older daughters and got pregnant very easily. DD ages 7 & 9. So it’s been awhile since last pregnancy. I tracked ovulation for the first time this month. I got an li surge on cycle day 15. Did the deed on day 13,14,16&17. I had a dr visit for a yearly pap on the 19th which was 9dpo. I had a SAB a couple months ago. So the dr wanted to do an hcg beta test because she knows we are ttc. I figured it would be negative that early. The results came back as

traveltheworld1986 · 22/08/2021 15:03

I had a dull pain all of last week but it seems to have eased now (unfortunately!) I did a strip test earlier and I swear I could see a faint line (maybe evap though, not sure how to tell?) My husband said he will pick up some tests in the co op, but I read co op can give false positives. I'm literally testing every day like a mad woman, I don't know how some people wait so patiently!
Have we had anymore bfp in the group yet?x

Same here. I’m 12 dpo and got a faint line this morning. Left the test in the bathroom for about 5 mins. First look I thought was meh then looked a couple mins later to see a line that got progressively darker but still faint. Hoping for the best for you Smile
Cruz86 · 23/08/2021 12:38

Congratulations @Kenblove! I've also had a dull ache @traveltheworld1986 but I've now started spotting 5 days before AF is due, so seems unlikely 😩 x

Heartbrokenmama · 23/08/2021 12:54

@Cruz86 spotting 5 days before af could be implantation bleeding!!

Cruz86 · 23/08/2021 13:02

I'd like to think it's that but I also spotted for 2 days last week and my spotting normally starts a fair few days before AF 😩 Will have to see what happens over the next few days!

I've never had implantation bleeding so no idea what it's supposed to be like but fingers crossed for you!

I've already decided I'm out this month and only 8dpo 🤦🏼‍♀️. I can't remember what dpo I got my positive with my daughter but you are so many people on here with they positive at 8 days!

Cruz86 · 23/08/2021 13:21

Thank you @cockneysparra1! I got a faint positive at 9dpo with my son so it definitely is possible. Why do you think you're out already? X

LeeTTCRainbow · 23/08/2021 13:32

Hi all, Sorry to all the girls AF's arrived or negative tests.

Update on me- still suffering with left side back pain, yesterday (7 or 8dpo) had some intense cramps for about an hour, felt like AF but had no bleeding or anything, but felt wet below so went to check but was just loads of (TMI) CM (this is odd for me) pain back is there still but not as bad or i'm just getting used to it as had since 4po. oh and sleep i'm struggling, last two nights barely slept i want too but cant (could be nerves for wedding)

Also dont want meals, not had dinner for 3 nights now, rather snack foods and so so so thirsty so bizarre.

Wishing you all best of luck xxx

Cruz86 · 23/08/2021 13:44

Keeping my fingers crossed for you @LeeTTCRainbow. When are you planning on testing? X

cockneysparra1 · 23/08/2021 14:08

I have zero symptoms! It would be so lovely to get a positive this month as it's out 8 year anniversary on the 31st so would be so nice to tell my other half then.

I can't wait to see some more tests! I'll do one in the morning. X

traveltheworld1986 · 23/08/2021 14:22

I feel like I am out too even though 8dpo (I think) I'm running out of tests now and don't want to keep buying them! My boobs feel really hard now but not overly tender. I really hope we all get some good news soon!
