@Aims1991 @CShandy01 @hoola23 @MrsRosaline @plantbasedlondoner @LittleDoveLove thought I'd best start a new thread before it stops letting us post given we're almost at 1k! 🥰 x

Have I forgotten anyone!? X

[quote hoola23]@CShandy01 I'm reading everything you're writing as positive! Implantation cramps and spotting no?!?!?![/quote]
I genuinely assumed it was AF because I'm 11dpo, and also that implantation bleeding should be more. It's more the cramps thing as well - moved from the sides to the front. Ah well we'll wait and see 🤷‍♀️ I'm guessing Monday - Tuesday will be classed as late (putting in a buffer for the pregnacare situation) so I'll probably test Wednesday if AF has a no show. Xx

hoola23 · 28/10/2021 22:00

@CShandy01 I mean it could be either way, but I defo wouldn't rule it out this month. Implantation bleeding can bit a tiny dot up to a light period I think.

CShandy01 · 28/10/2021 22:06

@hoola23 see I didn't have a clue about it! I just assumed it had to be like quite a bit. I never had it with DD so I'm completely ignorant. Plus I was certain it was THE month about 3-4 cycles ago 🤣🤣

hoola23 · 28/10/2021 22:11

@CShandy01 I think you can defo class them as positive signs hun. However, it could also be AF which is exactly why we go CRAZY during the TWW 🤣🤣🤣 I really really hope this month is it for you! X

Aims1991 · 29/10/2021 10:08

Morning, how is everyone feeling today?

CShandy01 · 29/10/2021 10:29

Morning @Aims1991 All good here thanks chick, how are you doing? What cycle day are you on at the moment!

@hoola23 @plantbasedlondoner @newtolineofduty @MrsRosaline how are you guys? X

Aims1991 · 29/10/2021 10:39

@CShandy01 CD30, woke up and got full aches lower stomach. Which I defo think is AF! What day you on

hoola23 · 29/10/2021 10:39

@Aims1991 @CShandy01 hey! Feeling ok, have been feeling a bit blah this week but seem to have pulled myself out of it today which is good. Defo think last nights twinges we're digestive issues as not really feeling anything today! Literally dreading next week when I'm off work for symptom spotting. I didn't think I would as didn't really put the effort in this month but I think I will🤣 I have a load of more painting to do so I hope that will keep me busy!!

Aims1991 · 29/10/2021 10:39

@hoola23 I've got lower full aches this morning so think it's defo AF! So annoyed now

hoola23 · 29/10/2021 10:59

@Aims1991 oh sorry hun! But it could be implantation cramping!! Try not to worry too much x

newtolineofduty · 29/10/2021 12:15

Hey ladies, just catching up. The cramping stuff is a total bitch because it could be a good OR bad sign! I had cramping 11-13dpo and was convinced I was out! X

Aims1991 · 29/10/2021 13:37

I seem to have had it all morning @newtolineofduty it's weird coz it's the kind of cramps I get the day of AF. Not the same type I get the week before AF. But it still could well be af. Still got a slight sore back this morning too

newtolineofduty · 29/10/2021 14:03

@Aims1991 I think it's exciting! X

CShandy01 · 29/10/2021 14:20

@Aims1991 I'm currently CD26 so 12dpo and I'm guessing I'll be on a 28 day cycle if I got by EWCM.

I feel you on the cramps front. I didn't have any until today. Just like pre AF cramps 😩😩 although I get the odd twinge on my right hand side like I have been for the last 6 days. Oh well. I'm 100% sure I'm out this month!

Aims1991 · 29/10/2021 14:55

@CShandy01 when are you roughly due AF? I only have 26/28 day cycles, I said cd 30 earlier and I meant cd20🤣🙈

StillJustWaiting · 29/10/2021 16:33

Hey ladies, I did create my own thread but no body has got back to me just yet and i am super duper impatient!! so... i have a question about evaporation lines on CB tests...
do evaporation lines get darker each day you test if you are pregnant but very early ? I am 10DPO and I've been testing a few days now... early i know 😅

Top test has no evap line - 8DPO
Middle has evap line - 9DOP
And bottom evap line - 10DOP

These are evaporation lines as nothing was visible in the time frame, but I'm wondering if maybe a little HCG could make evap line stronger ? Or is it literally just a coincidence? :)

CShandy01 · 29/10/2021 18:02

@StillJustWaiting I honestly wish I could help but I haven't got a clue about these types of tests as I've never used them. Heard really bad things about them so with DD I just used a digital clear blue and then when I was becoming a test addict I used the cheap strips you can get in a pack of 40 from Amazon. Any other tests I did were also the FRER ones with the pink dye.

The only thing I can think of with the darker lines (if they are indeed Evap lines) is that 1) there was more fluid on them or 2) the fluid was more concentrated? That's the only thing I can think of! Are you sure they're evap? Try a FRER test to be on the safe side 🙂🙂

hoola23 · 29/10/2021 18:03

@StillJustWaiting I'd be surprised if they are all evaps from cb!! I would say you're pregnant!! Confirm in a few days with another test hun! Congrats!

MrsRosaline · 29/10/2021 18:18

Not doing great @CShandy01. DD seems to have this bug that has been going around and is currently unwell on the sofa. Just hope we don't have a looong night ahead...

@StillJustWaiting no idea! I'd get a clearblue digital for a definitive answer.

CShandy01 · 29/10/2021 19:06

@Aims1991 due on around Sunday I think! Deffo think AF will appear, hence why I'm not too bothered about the amount of wine I have consumed these last few days 😂😂

@MrsRosaline oh no!! So sorry to hear about DD! Honestly what is it with kids and bringing stuff back home with them???

StillJustWaiting · 29/10/2021 19:23

Thank you ladies, I'm sure they're evap lines, this is the bottom test within the time frame, totally negative :(
Ill test again, i say in a few days but i cant help but test every day... literally addicted to testing at the mo 😩😂

@CShandy01 I went and got a couple FRER today so i will probably do one tomorrow 😅 I'm sure it'll be negative though, I just don't feel like its my month... although we really tried this month !!!

Can the amount of urine effect the test? I mean I do just follow what the packet says but I usually dip in a pot but this morning i peed on the stick rather than dipping ... maybe thats why the evap is darker today?

@hoola23 I really hope so!!! I have had some pretty hefty evap lines in the past on these tests though. I'm going to try and hold off testing for a few days but no doubt ill be testing again tomorrow 🤷‍♀️😅

@MrsRosaline if i get a faint positive on FRER tomorrow then ill head out and get a digital for sure to be sure sure !

Aims1991 · 29/10/2021 19:39

So I've had this cramp/full ache all day on my lower stomach. Starting to annoy me now😭

hoola23 · 29/10/2021 19:46

@StillJustWaiting remind me never to buy these tests! Can't believe they could all be evaps! Throw them in the bin and get the clear blue ultra early digital. You literally can't go wrong with them!!

hoola23 · 29/10/2021 20:59

@Aims1991 me too! It's come back this eve but only on my right side. It's like a stab by pinching feeling. Very noticeable but this happened last night too so I'm pretty sure it's to do with digestion rather than anything pregnancy related 🤣🤣 only 11 days to go!!

Aims1991 · 29/10/2021 21:20

@hoola23 I'm about 7/8 days before AF! But mine has been centre and all day. Still have it now 🙄
