Hey peeps ovulated today - anyone in the same boat and hoping for a BFP in mid May? Thought we could do the 2ww together x

Aw bless you @Rosegold3112 its so so hard, I’ve done that loads before, even at random times when there’s no chance I’d be pregnant haha!

I came off the pill in October 2020 and they were longer but regular then august last year I didn’t have one for 3 months but still seemed to be ovulating and got pregnant in November (CP unfortunately) Hopefully getting them slowly down to normal!

I don’t have anymore tests in the house now so just gonna give it a couple of days! Xx

@Rosegold3112 it's absolutely so hard to get a bfn. I hope you're as okay as you can be and remembering 10dpo is so early x

@IsThisRealLife12 that looks like a really good line 😍😍

I've been getting more and more symptoms similar to my last pregnancy. Including really low bubbles so I held and took a cheapie just before dinner 🤞

@LemonZestDribbles that looks great! Can’t wait to see what the morning brings, do you have more tests? ✨✨✨

LemonZestDribbles · 11/05/2022 20:03

@JaneGnR88 I've got three more frer tests and a few cheapies. Very excited to see what the morning brings!

41andtryingforfirst · 12/05/2022 07:17

@LemonZestDribbles that's amazing! Please let me know how you do this morning!

I just wanted to let you guys know, I'm still pregnant but AF would've been due tomorrow and I have never felt more PMS like symptoms than I am now - bloating, cramping, heavy boobs etc. if I didn't have a BFP every day since Monday I'd swear I was out this month.

So what I'm saying is, you're not out until you're out, even if all your usual AF symptoms are there. Everyone's different but this feels more like AF than anything else xxxx

@41andtryingforfirst I remember running to the loo every two minutes thinking my period had come. They are so similar!

Still unsure this morning. I've got another pink line on my one step but still faint on the frer. So still up in the air. Excuse the horrible window ledge. Just moved in and not painted yet 🙈

That’s odd Lemon as FRER is usually much more sensitive than the strips, but the strip line is very clear!

41andtryingforfirst · 12/05/2022 07:50

@LemonZestDribbles I can see the line on both. Remind me how many dpo you are? X

13DPO…

There’s a line, isn’t there??

LemonZestDribbles · 12/05/2022 08:09

@Amber17 extremely positive+!!! Congratulations!!

@Organictangerine with ds I had nothing on a OS but big clear line on frer so most confusing. But like it's big and pink 🤔 yet I'm still like hmmmmmm. How are you feeling did you test again?

@41andtryingforfirst I'm only 10/11dpo so very very early. Just been feeling so very pregnant with the same early signs as ds. I do think the frer look stronger today. I'll attach the ones from previous days. They were hard to get on camera so I was thinking indent

Organictangerine · 12/05/2022 08:10

Definitely stronger today Lemon, best of luck for a good strong line tomorrow morning!

41andtryingforfirst · 12/05/2022 08:14

@Amber17 that's a line!!!! Congratulations xx

41andtryingforfirst · 12/05/2022 08:16

@LemonZestDribbles that looks like a line not an indent. I'd say wait 2 days and test again but I think it's looking promising. Xx

@Organictangerine @41andtryingforfirst thank you! Will see what the next few days bring 🤞🤞🤞

JaneGnR88 · 12/05/2022 13:28

I can still see something @LemonZestDribbles 🤞✨

Hope you’re feeling okay @41andtryingforfirst I know period symptoms and early pregnancy can be very similar so try to treat yourself and not worry too much and congratulations again! 💐✨

I have some more tests coming later so we’ll see what we can make of those faint lines from yesterday, probably nothing 😅

catlady10 · 12/05/2022 13:40

Hi everyone,

How is everyone today?

I'm sorry I've been quiet... I've just spent ages catching up with everyone's posts since my last post!

Congratulations to all the ladies having BFPs 💕 And to everyone getting VFls keep testing and keep us posted!! ✨

To those feeling sad, It's such an emotional rollercoaster isn't it 😥 if AF shows up treat yourself to a lovely non-pregnant activity like wine or coffee ☕️ 🍷 sending lots of love and hugs your way 🥰

I've spent the last 3 days in a weird blur of not actually believing I could be pregnant. Severe cramping and headaches for 1 day each. Obsessively testing just to check my lines are still there 🥺My period is due tomorrow and I think I won't believe it until it doesn't show up! Anyone else struggling to believe their BFP? These are my tests I hope they stick around 🤞🏼

Xxx

Struggling to catch up with all messages here and took a bit of a MN break after AF coming for me this week but SO lovely to see the BFP's on this thread 🥰 congratulations to those with positives and fingers crossed to those who are still not out yet! X

41andtryingforfirst · 12/05/2022 16:10

Thanks @S0220 - I hope you're ok and that you've been chilling with a glass of wine and being kind to yourself

@catlady10 I'm struggling to believe it. Tests are getting stronger every day and I still don't believe it. I look away when I wipe in case I see something I don't want to see. AF due for me tomorrow too and it just feels the same as it always does - heavy boobs, bloating, cramping etc. I think I'll feel better once I know I've actually missed AF. X

Rosegold3112 · 12/05/2022 21:50

@LemonZestDribbles those look like such strong lines! Everything crossed its the real deal.

Lovely to see some beautiful lines progressing ❤️

I was trying to remain positive as 10dpo is still early. Then last night I got very faint pink spotting which was red after going for a poo. Its almost like in pushing the blood out. It's not there the rest of the time. And then this eve i have got loads. I'm only 11dpo. I'm sure it's not my period starting yet as it's inky when I wipe but there's a lot, and clots. Sorry for the tmi pic! I'm just broken as 11dpo is such a short luteal phase. I thought this cycle might be normal finally but seems not 😔

catlady10 · 12/05/2022 23:07

@41andtryingforfirst It's awful isn't it! My DP was over the moon when I told him but that's quickly turned into slight anxiety for the both of us. I've ordered a two pack of the CB digitals which tell you how many weeks. According to my cycle I'll be exactly 4 weeks pregnant tomorrow so going to do a CB early next week just to check 🫣 I'm definitely going to book a private 8 week scan too if AF doesn't come!

@S0220 Yes I agree with 41, make sure you are being kind to yourself 💕

Aww @Rosegold3112 sending you lots of love 💕 I think I read somewhere that 11 days is fine for a luteal phase xxxx

LemonZestDribbles · 13/05/2022 08:51

@catlady10 those look like wonderful lines! I didn't believe it at all with ds. Really until he was out. Thought it was all a massive prank. A private scan at 8 weeks really helped me. Be careful of the week test ones as they don't always match up to your weeks and can cause anxiety

@S0220 sending you lots of baby dust for next month

@Rosegold3112 how are you this morning?

I got really good lines on my frer yesterday afternoon but both tests faint this morning. I'm hoping it's a case of being stronger in the afternoon 😩🤞

@LemonZestDribbles this looks really promising - FX for you.

I'm annoyed this morning. The clear blue digital is been saving for today (AF due today) didn't bloody work. Came up with an error message. I'm annoyed for several reasons:

  1. Waste of FMU
  2. Those things aren't cheap
  3. I like having the reassurance of the test as haven't officially missed AF yet.
  4. Cramps are making me paranoid today of all days and I just wanted the test with the weeks to help with the anxiety.

Sorry for the rant. It's just put me on a downer x

OP posts:
JaneGnR88 · 13/05/2022 16:38

Got AF today! Actually relieved and really happy, it means my cycles are getting shorter and I actually did ovulate when I thought I did - so onto
next month!

Wishing you all the best everyone! X

catlady10 · 13/05/2022 20:41

Oh @Rosegold3112 I'm so sorry I accidentally tagged you in another thread 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️

catlady10 · 13/05/2022 20:46

@41andtryingforfirst That's so annoying!! 🤦‍♀️😠Have you got any cheapies you could carry on using? I'm having cramps too...Just very mild but constant! I've been going to the loo so often just to check AF hasn't arrived ☹️

@LemonZestDribbles Thanks so much for the reassurance 💕 I always imagined doing a pregnancy test and being instantly super duper excited but it's so weird how I'm so happy but just in complete disbelief 🫢 Your lines are looking so much stronger than before!! When is AF due for you? Xx
