Oh and to add we’ve got blood tests, scan and sperm analysis booked so would be typical if I am now finally pg lol

@lozob I can see it, but I would be cautious if I were you, ive had some very convincing faint lines on these tests and not been pregnant, hopefully you get a clearer line on the next test! Good luck x

@mamazac I wouldn’t have thought going on fair rides could affect things, but I’m no expert.
I went on a really physically active hen do when I was a few dpo with my last baby. Thankfully didn’t drink on that trip, so was very happy when I had a positive test a couple days later.

ah that's good to hear, I went on the rides anyway as pretty convinced I'm not pregnant. Had some cramping today which isn't unusual for a few days before my period

@mamazac I'm not sure I can see anything on that test in the picture - is it pink or gray in real life?
I wouldn't personally think fairground rides at this point would do anything bad but don't do anything you're not comfortable with :)

I'm not even sure myself to be honest, maybe slightly pink but who knows. Not pinning much hope on it, was just being overly cautious!

@Maxime34 Hello! I’m 2DPO today and i get such a drop in emotions/energy after ovulation. I think it’s more mental for me to know ive done all i can and got to sit the TWW!

AF finally arrived this morning so officially CD1 cycle 3. I knew I was out so I actually feel fine and feel better now it's a fresh start rather than just waiting for AF. My cycle was only 25 days, ovulating on CD1, so early ovulation and a longer luteal phase. It was only second month off the pill but maybe this is my new normal. I will be starting OPK day 7 this month and DTD every other day from after AF I think in case it's another early ovulation. Baby dust to all on this cycle. Maybe I'll get another May baby (DD was born 31st May)

NatGee · 05/08/2022 10:22

@EdinburghGirl1 ahhh nevermind, as you say, a new month and a fresh start! sounds like you have a solid plan ahead of this cycle, so hopefully itll be a BFP at the end of it. Baby dust to you!!
I am either 11 or 15 DPO today and I have already had two BFNs. Also not sure when AF is due as first cycle tracking, but if by Wednesday next week I get another BFN then ill be onto cycle#3, like you. Baby dust to you and everyone else xx

My2boysaremyworld · 05/08/2022 11:02

Still no AF and another negative test!!! I'm going crazy girls xx

NatGee · 05/08/2022 11:06

@My2boysaremyworld thats nuts, i would too! well, until AF arrives you're still in. Maybe enjoy the weekend and test again on Monday? Fingers crossed

My2boysaremyworld · 05/08/2022 11:07

@NatGee I don't know what's going on!! 6 days late now xx

NatGee · 05/08/2022 11:09

@My2boysaremyworld I gather you're pretty regular? Might be time to get a blood test done so you know for sure. Your HCG levels must be so low that the pregnancy tests arent picking it up

My2boysaremyworld · 05/08/2022 11:16

@NatGee I will wait until next week when I'm more than a week late as don't think they would help me if I rang them up today? I'm worrying incase there's something wrong as I had a miscarriage in April, what if it's happening again šŸ˜žxx

NatGee · 05/08/2022 11:23

@My2boysaremyworld i am so sorry to read i know its difficult not to expect the worst but if something was wrong youd probably know by now. might just be really good positive news! yes, maybe wait a few more days, i think GPs are quite variable in terms of what help they give and when. Baby dust!!

My2boysaremyworld · 05/08/2022 11:52

@NatGee thank you xx

Albieroo · 05/08/2022 11:54

How long after ovulation or pre AF do people check for a BFP?

NatalieSF · 05/08/2022 12:08

@Albieroo I try and wait till 10dpo but I don't always make it till then 🤣

Albieroo · 05/08/2022 12:46

@NatalieSF - I haven't even ovulated yet and already thinking about it! Grin

Tropicana1 · 05/08/2022 12:50

@Albieroo don't think I've ever gone longer Than 8dpo šŸ˜‚ this Sunday will be 9dpo and the only reason I'll be waiting that long is I'm currently on holiday with no tests haha

Albieroo · 05/08/2022 12:51

@Tropicana1 - glad it isn't just me then! Is it likely to show that early? This is my first month trying!

Tropicana1 · 05/08/2022 12:57

@Albieroo I have seen some ladies get very early 9dpo positives but it all depends on implantation - implantation usually occurs 8-10dpo on average I think and hCG then needs to rise to detectable levels. Knowing
This does not stop me checking "just in case" 🤣

LuckyMoonstone · 05/08/2022 12:59

4dpo now and I’m already wishing the time away! I have a busy week next week and a family party next Saturday to distract me, then 14dpo will be the following Monday so I’m trying to wait until then!

simplythequest · 05/08/2022 13:02

@Albieroo I usually wait until the day before or the day af is supposed to start. In December, when I got my first BFP, I waited until 14dpo because I was only on cycle 2 and we were so busy with the Christmas holidays that I didn't get hold of a test until then.

Since I miscarried that pregnancy, I've been a little less relaxed about it. I waited until 12dpo this cycle - which happened to be this morning - and got my BFP. Really hoping it sticks this time šŸ¤žšŸ»

Albieroo · 05/08/2022 13:05

@simplythequest thank you for your reply. I am sending you all the sticky thoughts I can! Congratulations ā¤ļø

@Albieroo thanks! Wishing you luck x
