@EmsTTC massive congratulations to you! Wishing you a happy and healthy pregnancy!

lilrosemarie · 16/10/2021 11:39

This thread keeps on giving. πŸ₯³πŸ€ I hope it's a lucky month for more of us!! πŸ˜ŠπŸ™πŸ»

@Emsjourney congrats!! Beautiful lines.

@Danani these symptoms can all be symptoms of early pregnancy or PMS symptoms. It's so hard to tell. Many women say they had zero symptoms while some say they had them all and knew before they even got a line on a test. While I love the idea of ttc and getting to have a baby in the end (fingers crossed), I hate the wait and guessing. Fingers crossed for you!!!

Squiff70 · 16/10/2021 11:39

OMG @SammiStap I'm so excited for you!

Another BFN for my this morning. Gutted as I woke up from a dream that I had a faint second line :(

Dob29 · 16/10/2021 12:03

@Emsjourney congratulationsπŸ˜†! πŸŽ‰

@Cruz86 I’m just going off my app this month, according to that I am 13dpo today. I didn’t do any testing or anything because I’ve been too obsessed with it over the last couple of months πŸ™ˆ

Lianna93 · 16/10/2021 12:16

Ahh! Even more BFPs! Congratulations ladies!!

You're all giving me so much hope but I'm only 3 dpo πŸ™ˆπŸ˜‚
Decided I'll test on the 25th as AF is due anywhere between 26th - 28th.

I'll keep having a peek at the thread but doubt I'll post much as I'm gonna keep myself as distracted as possible this month to avoid symptom spotting & testing early πŸ™ˆ

Mummytobe93 · 16/10/2021 13:14

I think the majority of implementations are happening at 9 DPO so don’t worry about not having any symptoms hunny @Danani

Today I’ve got no symptoms whatsoever - no cramps, twingles, sore boobs, headaches, constipation, no one of that …
The only thing that persist is that if Im hungry, I’m absolutely STARVING and I need to stop whatever I’m doing to eat something.

I’m proud of myself for not obsessing over POAS this month πŸ˜‚I test once a day and then I move on with my life. Last month I was testing multiple times a day, …

I think I just know how tight my budget is before the wedding and I simply CANNOT afford to spend Β£20-30 on pregnancy testsπŸ™ˆ
I’ll stick to easy@home until AF is due, and if it doesn’t show I’ll whip out the one CB digital Ive got left.

Congrats @Emsjourney πŸ’•

It’s great how many BFP this month is bringing

Emsjourney · 16/10/2021 13:17

Thank you everyone. It's been a long year but hopefully this gives others hope who have waited a little longer than expected.
Wishing lots of BFPs for you all x

Yayay30 · 16/10/2021 13:29

Hi again everyone, just jumped on the new thread and caught up. Congrats to all the BFPs!

Currently sitting at 4dpo( I think) in my first cycle of trying…. We managed to DTD every day in what I hope was my fertile window so fingers crossed we get lucky!

The next 10 days are going to drag in…. How many DPO should I wait before testing ?

SammiStap · 16/10/2021 13:31

Just peed on a FRER and negative. Will do the other in the morning then I’m giving up πŸ˜‘πŸ˜‚

Squiff70 · 16/10/2021 13:43

So sorry, I forgot to congratulate @Emsjourney too. Congratulations lovely! So happy for you!

@SammiStap sorry to hear that. Fingers crossed for tomorrow morning.

jadeypies · 16/10/2021 14:49

@Danani please don't worry, I had zero symptoms either! I only bothered to test because of my covid test- I wanted to just check that I could have medication if I needed it! So no symptoms definitely does not mean you're out- keep the faith xxx

Tefiti3 · 16/10/2021 17:23

Huge congratulations to all the BFPS recently ❀️ This thread has definitely been lucky so far! 8/9 dpo (didnt track so not exactly sure) this month and feeling pretty meh. Hot/cold flashes and sooo hungry. I am a cervix checker and for the last few days its been really high and soft.
I know it’s probably too early to test so trying to not buy any yet!

SammiStap · 16/10/2021 17:29

The FRER was completely negative and it is pissing me off as what other reason would there for me to not have period. I haven’t been stressed at all this month, it’s been perfectly lovely with friends and my horses and family. We didn’t stress over DTD cos we went away for the weekend which was really nice. I’m 4 days late and got full aches down abdomen. Also had bit of brown discharge this afternoon, not blood just a brownish spot or two.
I’m just fed up now πŸ˜”

Dob29 · 16/10/2021 17:48

@SammiStap sorry to hear it was negative again! It’s so frustrating when there is just no reason for it to be late isn’t it. I’ve had it since I came off the pill in feb and it just makes you question what could be going on in your body that you’re not aware of doesn’t it!
Sending hugs, and fingers crossed you get a positive in a couple of days. It could just be taking a while to show 🀞

SammiStap · 16/10/2021 18:37

@Dob29 hubby keeps telling me to calm down it’s still early really. hCG might not be high enough I guess and I don’t actually know if I peed on the stick enough, no idea but will try again in the morning.
It’s just annoying.

Hope everyone is ok this evening?

@Danani sometimes no symptoms is a good sign! Fingers crossed for you!

Dob29 · 16/10/2021 18:45

I find it easier going in a cup and dipping it, at least then you know you’ve put it in for long enough.

Well, after thinking the boob pains coming and going, the AF type pains and the pre-period spots meant I was I was probably out…. I got a cheap Asda test and did it this evening - faint positive! Going to test again on Monday to see if it gets any darker before getting too excited πŸ™ˆ

EmsTTC · 16/10/2021 18:49

Congrats @Emsjourney and @Dob29 that's a great line for an evening test πŸ₯³

@Danani I had zero symptoms at 6/7dpo too and it still turned out ok, still lots of hope πŸ€πŸ€žπŸ»

Missy95 · 16/10/2021 18:54

@Dob29 wow a great line! Congratulations xxx

Squiff70 · 16/10/2021 19:05

@SammiStap awww I'm sorry. You and I are in a similar boat I think. BFN for me too this morning and the breat pain is so bad I'm having to take paracetamol which I don't normally. AF was due any time from yesterday so I just want it to hurry up now so I can move onto a new cycle. It is so frustrating to be so late and test negative. I get it.

@Dob29 congratulations! That's a brilliant line!

Danani · 16/10/2021 19:25

@Dob29 that line looks great lovey!!! Congratulations!!!! ❀️

SammiStap · 16/10/2021 19:38

Lovely line @Dob29!!

@Squiff70 oh I don’t β€˜feel’ out yet. I just want it confirmed as I feel the same as I did when I found out with the last one in May. I’m not getting hopes up at all but I just got a feeling… Don’t you count yourself out yet either!
I am going to dip in a pot tomorrow I think.

MrsBiddy · 16/10/2021 19:40

Congratulations to all the BFP's!!!
So much to catch up on!! Cd19 atm, my opks are saying my peak has gone πŸ™„
OvuSense hasn't confirmed ovulation yet so there is still time!!
Feeling tired πŸ₯± as been dtd every other day πŸ₯±πŸ₯±πŸ₯± πŸ˜‚ we will try to dtd until end of next week lol
fingers crossed for everyone xxx

Missy95 · 16/10/2021 20:09

Im feeling so tired, hungry and on & off sick today! So I've caved and ordered some tests off amazon but I will try and not test until Monday morning. No promises here

I can't remember if I usually feel like this before AF, every month I just get too fixated on the slightest symptoms or off feeling 🀣
