Testing this week/tww 18th- 26th October

[Peonies94]

Anyone testing this week between the 18th or 26th October? It’s my 2nd cycle ( first where I’ve tracked ovulation) ttc first child. Im trying to avoid temptation to test too soon! I’m currently 5 or 6 DPO and hoping to wait until Thursday where I’ll be at least 9 DPO.

Congratulations to those positive! AF has just arrived for me, so onto another cycle for me! Good lock to those still to test!

Hi all! I'm around 6 dpo and I have the craaaziest urge to test already.. 😳 the last few days I've had a dull ache on the left side of lower abdomen never had this before but this is my first cycle after coming off the pill. I had my first child went straight onto the implant for 3 years then the pill so have no idea about my cycle at all 🙈

@ScoptchyBoppit I’m the same, 1 child and first month ttc after straight on the pill. I’m dpo 10 today and had implantation last night I think. Very specific twinges on right side in one place for a few hours and 2 spots of pink after. Nothing since except general cramps so not entirely sure it’s not AF. I’ve had the whole range of symptoms this month, if last night was IB then they’re all due to progesterone increase/pill come down, and I’ve been testing since dpo 5 which was a total waste. I felt nausea all yesterday and had back pain and I started bd5 having dull cramp in my left side. Hormones are a strange thing! Good luck to you this try!

How did you get on @Yayay30?

Hi I'm due my period in 4 days and I caved and tested.. yesterday I got a faint positive and today got 3 negatives :( I devastated again . Im thinking this means a definite negative 🤔 iv had 2 very early losses this year and qm need of some chats with mams or those who want is as much as us x

@Mum23bb it’s so hard isn’t it! I haven’t been trying for long, but after my wedding being postponed a year and deciding to hold off until after the wedding, im now so desperate for it to happen so quickly! AF arrived today for me!

@Peonies94 so so hard I hate the two week wait it's horrific .. I don't think I can do another loss .. and I know Im gonna check again in the morning to see if its Still negative coz was defo a positive last night .. very frustrated 😤 I hope this cycle is better for you 🙏

@Decaffe hi! How are you? Another two faint positives today - one FRER and the other an easy at home. The easy at home was definitely darker this morning (still very faint though). Tomorrow is 10dpo so hoping for a clearer result tomorrow. How did you get on?

@Mum23bb it’s so disheartening isn’t it! Goodluck! Thank you!

Ah that’s lovely @Yayay30 I got a negative Easy at Home and a negative FRER. Going to waste do one more test in the morning tomorrow then think I will stop pouring money down the drain this month 😂

@Yayay30 congrats!! And @Decaffe hope tomorrow brings luck your way. I’m pretty certain I’m having implantation bleeding. I just came off the pill so expected a heavy first AF and this isn’t high volume and it’s light pink, I also need to pee constantly, dpo 10 now and felt the implantation cramps yesterday. Guessing I should wait a few days to test though, unless AF arrives after all... The wait never ends 😂🤦‍♀️

This week has been horrendous since ovulation.

day 1: severe headache, ovulation type pains, fatigue
day 2: uterus/ovulation pain feeling and feeling like it was tight, headache, fatigue
day 3: fatigue
day 4: feels like AF cramping, lower back agonising pain, fatigue
day 5: feels like AF cramping, lower back agonising pain, fatigue
day 6: cramps, fatigue
day 7: at work I felt really uncomfortable pinching, extreme lower back pain, fatigue
day 8: feels like AF, fatigue

I feel so bad this week:( I have felt like I had had a severe period all week. I haven't work any makeup. I have had no energy to. These cramps are honestly tiring me out....

Sounds promising for many of us! I have everything crossed.
Today my period is due (13DPO) and I don’t dare test :( I think I want to be pregnant that badly that I know how gutted I’m going to be if it’s negative so I keep holding off from doing it. If AF doesn’t arrive today then I’ll do one in the morning. I did test at 8DPO which was negative but later on that day I had some old looking blood when I wiped which at the time I convinced myself was an implantation bleed but now I’m not sure. I’m just terrified to test :(

So I'm 9 dpo, not starting testing until tomorrow. However my BBT picked up implantation dip yesterday 🙏🏻🤞🏼

I had implantation cramps yesterday too! BBT picked up an implantation dip.
I just don't know when to test 🤦🏻‍♀️

@Decaffe how did you get on this morning?

@madeleine85 that sounds promising!! Fingers crossed

@tryingtobeamama that’s exactly how I felt the week of ovulation- still feeling really lethargic (that might just be that I’ve weaned myself off my 5 mugs of strong black coffee per day habit though!)

I tested again this morning - this was a FRER. I also did an easy at home and lines on both are still very faint but getting stronger! I am starting to get, cautiously, excited!

My boobs are absolutely agony this morning too. I don’t normally get that, so taking that as a positive sign.

Sending good luck to you all! Xx

Helps if you attach the photo to the comment lol!

@Yayay30 thanks, think it might be AF as getting stronger, but no clots and need to pee constantly. This month has been downright weird. I’m guessing I’m out but let’s see.

Was that a FR test? I read really bad reviews about them with blurred lines and early false positives so I’m very dubious of any I take now and follow the instructions to a T. Hate that the others take forever to detect though (or feels like). Fingers crossed 🤞 for you and the BFP!

Ah that’s great to see @Yayay30! How exciting ☺️

A negative FRER for me today (10dpo) so just going to wait for AF to arrive now.

Interestingly I noticed today that the unused FRERs had faint grey lines straight out of the packet.

Just had a few weird stabbing pains low down, LHS. Probably only lasted a few seconds... hmm?!

Just changed position on the sofa a bit and had another twinge, only once but it was uncomfortable enough to make me stop and go 'ooh'....

@Decaffe that sounds like implantation pains maybe ?

Got an undisputed BFP tonight at 10dpo with clear blue ultra early digital. Absolutely delighted and can’t stop crying.

@Yayay30 congratulations!!!!! That is amazing 🎉🎉🎉🎉❤️❤️

I'm so happy for you @Yayay30! Have you told DH yet?

I know, it does make me wonder! Or could it have just been indigestion and wind?!

Gosh this journey is just a nightmare isn't it, never knowing what to think. I have one FRER left and two arriving tomorrow before 1pm courtesy of Amazon.... decisions decisions!
