Hoping for a BFP in July

So thought I'd start a new thread for anyone who's hoping for a July BFP. My AF showed up today a week early after getting loads of pregnancy symptoms 🥲 think my body is still out of sync after my miscarriage in April.

So let's stay positive for a July BFP 🥰

@AJuicyPeach hahaha!

This is my first cycle trying for #2 too and I am already impatient! Will try very hard not to test until day 13 dpo when I’ll be heading to a friend’s hen do. Would be good to know if I can drink or not. I guess even if I test negative, I’ll need to wait for AF to be sure, so may not be able to drink either way! Haha

Morning everyone, so I started spotting yesterday, I think AF is coming. I think I either had a false positive, it's implantation or a chemical but we'll see if she arrives or not in a few days. I'm getting conflicting pregnancy tests some say yes, some say no 🤷🏻‍♀️ I'm stressing myself out by keep testing so I'm just going to leave it & see what happens. At least it was a nice feeling for at least a day! Xx

You're stronger than me, I couldn't wait til 13dpo 😂 gonna test at 8dpo because I got a positive with my last preg at 8. Also, I'm going to kind of cheat, I'm going to keep testing with my OPKs, see if my levels go up again in a week or so 😉
Is the hen do a full weekend thing or one night? My partner just got back from a weekend stag do and he's still recovering 😂

So we’re on cycle 6 (I think….losing track !) is been tracking just using my period app, but thought I’d buy some CB ovulation tests to double check my app is correct. It’s actually two days out ! So we’ve been stopping sex BEFORE ovulation!! 🤦🏼‍♀️

im hoping now we’re having sex at the exact time we’ll get the elusive BFP 🤞🏻🤞🏻

@AJuicyPeach do ovulation tests show a positive for pregnancy too?

Gizzy93 · 05/07/2022 10:17

@My2boysaremyworld no, thankfully. Which is why it's weird that I cried. He didn't actually make contact. He was just a little gremlin. My boss ended up doing his clip, i couldn't. I had the sweetest boy afterwards though and gave me his paws as I needed them

No they don’t x

JB2021 · 05/07/2022 11:24

@Bluelightbaby thanks. Didn't think they did but thought I'd ask the question!

Missgemini · 05/07/2022 12:31

@AJuicyPeach It’s a whole weekend hen do. Of course, I want to not be able to drink. But I don’t want to be left in limbo either.
For my last baby, I had a positive cheapie on 10 dpo, so I fully expect day 12 to be positive if successful.

@Bluelightbaby Have you tried the SMEP method? They recommend continuing BD up to 4-5 days after ovulation test is positive. I did it for my last baby and got pregnant in the first cycle of trying. Could just be a coincidence though.

Missgemini · 05/07/2022 12:33

@AJuicyPeach out of interest, why would you test opks in the 2WW? I thought the levels would remain low until next ovulation.

Bluelightbaby · 05/07/2022 12:43

@Missgemini the issue I have is that OH has a very low sex drive !!! He’s struggling with it as it is lol he’s cry if I asked him for more days lol

I have read so many womens experiences online about it being legit for detecting pregnancy. Check on mumsnet and netmums. ☺️

Also, testing on those OPK strips takes away most of my urge to test with HCG strips 😂

Missgemini · 05/07/2022 13:50

@Bluelightbaby haha! I hear your OH. My DH and I are knackered from doing SMEP!

@AJuicyPeach omg! I don’t need to hear things like this! It’ll only encourage me to start doing it! Lol!

My2boysaremyworld · 05/07/2022 14:17

@Gizzy93 oh bless ya xx

Congratulations to all the bfp’s!

I tested with LH throughout one whole cycle and it gos dark for me a few days before AF too so I wouldn’t use it to detect pregnancy as I know it’s more likely to be AF for me

allgoodthings84 · 05/07/2022 14:37

*GOES

AJuicyPeach · 05/07/2022 14:45

@Missgemini fingers crossed you get your positive! Would you still go on the hens do and not drink or stay home?

kizzy97 · 05/07/2022 15:15

@hevann hoping it's just an early pregnancy bleed, I had that with DS at 5 weeks and scared myself silly xx

My2boysaremyworld · 05/07/2022 17:12

@hevann fingers crossed it's just implantation bleeding xx

OP posts:
BellaTheDarkOverlord · 05/07/2022 17:22

@hevann hopefully implantation xx I had it with my dd.

hevann · 05/07/2022 17:44

@BellaTheDarkOverlord @My2boysaremyworld @kizzy97 thank you ❤️ I'm not very hopeful though I think it's too much to be implantation but I've never experienced it before so I don't know. We'll see in a few days I guess, see if it gets heavier. x

BellaTheDarkOverlord · 05/07/2022 18:39

12 or 13DPO today. Woke up fine but by time I got to work felt sick and dizzy. Hot flashes too. Really tired now and have had a headache and cramps all day. Breasts are still tender. I got a bit more spotting this evening. Think AF is on the way in a few days.

My2boysaremyworld · 05/07/2022 19:47

@hevann keeping fingers crossed for you. Is it just when you wipe or are you having to wear a pad? Are you having any cramps with it? Xx

My2boysaremyworld · 05/07/2022 19:47

@BellaTheDarkOverlord hope she stays away xx

So had what I thought were symptoms last week. Still full of cold, bunged up etc.

AF due anytime. Currently day 28 and last time AF came on day 34 but that was a little late compared to normal.

Husband away and back Sunday so thinking Monday when he's back.

Oooh also just seen Home Bargains have the Clear Blue tests packs of 2 for £5. Not sure which ones they were other than this.
