Fingers crossed for more BFP's!

TMI Spotting seems to be drying up - turned light brown and less. This seems a very positive sign. Of course, I'm not relying solely on this but now I wonder if I should test tomorrow or wait another day at least.

Congratulations @BellaTheDarkOverlord !!

@ElleBelleLou that looks good. Any progress?

@Katie2021 congratulations!

I feel like I have missed someone?? I have been on and off and only lurking, so many names that sometime I miss someone.

Still BFN here. Starting to get AF symptoms. We had a limited window. Did AI a touch early a that was the only time we could. Feeling out and incredibly moody about it. Work is CRAZY at the moment. I need a holiday, but I'd rather just have a sticky bean.

@OneMoreLittleFox I'm sorry you think you're out. If only ttc could be as simple as choosing a holiday <3

@DiscipleMama

Isn't that the truth! Although I am indecisive lol so I am terrible at making decisions. I ummm and ahhh for ages over choices.

@DiscipleMama best of luck 🤞🤞🤞 sending positive thoughts your way that it is implantation.

@OneMoreLittleFox well, yes, lol there is tihat! Decisions take mental energy!!

And thank you. I have a bit of a back story to why, if this turns out +ve and sticky, I'm amazed and excited but weirdly not overly surprised. But still trying not to get ahead of myself.

Congrats @ladydorito! Wonderful news.

I feel like I'm symptom spotting ahead of Friday/Saturday when I can test and/or AF arrives. Tmi but defo feel like I've got more discharge and a lot of more tired. But at the same time I'm a teacher who's gunning for half term holidays this weekend 🫣😂 so that might explain the tiredness!

If anyone has had a successfully early test... How many DPO?

@Aixenprov it can vary so much. WIth my first it was 8/9 dpo! Second 11dpo (I only tested at 8 & 11)
This time, I don't know if I'm positive yet but feeling very hopeful...not sure. I could be 11-13 dpo I think. Got a weird possible faint positive/possible EVAP line yest morning (so 10-12 dpo). But with my other 2 I had implantation spotting prior to positive tests. Today I've just had spotting that seems very much like implantation spotting. If only it was a precise thing! But it's not.
I hope your tiredness has NOTHING to do with school and EVERYthing to do with a little healthy baby beginning life!

@OneMoreLittleFox Thanks xx I wish TTC was simple and easy. It's so frustrating at times.

Yes it can be ever so frustrating. It is one of those things, where if there was a diary telling you when you would fall pregnant, even if you had to wait months or years, knowing it would happen would make the wait easier. It is all the not knowing that is so hard. I think we are ok the cusp of having to call it quits even though we don't want to at all.

This is exactly how I feel, perfectly articulated.

If I knew that at some point it would definitely happen, I would wait however long it took.

It's the panic that it won't happen that is so difficult

@DiscipleMama thank you!! I so hope so 🤞 where are you at in your current cycle? X

Congrats to those who got their BFP 😍😍 only 5DPO and already sick of this TWW 😅 Feeling hopeful this month.. 🤞🏼

I think we are going to try SMEP if we get a BFN this month.

Has anyone given it a go? Any feedback on it?

@Aixenprov I'm between 11-13 dpo. AF 'due' between today and Sunday (last cycle that was that long was a year ago...but last month was 30 days)
I am actually getting pretty convinced this is the real deal

This was my test last Thursday at 12 dpo I am booked in on Wednesday for an early pregnancy scan at a private clinic @DiscipleMama congratulations to those who got there BFP and sorry to those who got Af 😔 good to those who are still waiting xx

@wellhelloitsme what exactly do you plan to do for SMEP? I had to look it up but still unsure if it's an exact set of specifications to follow

This is the plan of action we are going with

We figure it's worth a try. Going to be tired that week!

Cycle days 1-7
• CD1 is your first day of full flow
• Stock up on Ovulation Predictor
Kits (OPKs)
• Stock up on Pregnancy Tests
• Mark start dates on your calendar:
• CD8 = BD (“Baby Dance”/have intercourse/”try”) every other day until you receive a positive OPK (+OPK)
• CD10 daily OPK tests
Cycle day 8
• BD, and plan to BD every other day until +OPK
Cycle day 10
• Start daily OPK testing until OPK turns positive
+OPK day
• BD today, tomorrow, and the next day.
• Skip a day and BD one more time.
• Mark test day on your calendar: +OPK day + 15 = test day
• If OPK never turns positive, BD every other day until your period (AF or “Aunt Flo/Flow”) arrives or until CD35
Test day (or CD35)
• If AF has not arrived, take a home pregnancy test
• First morning urine (FMU) does not always yield the best results, you may wish to try with your second morning urine (SMU) or an afternoon test after a 3-4 hour hold (no liquids)

@wellhelloitsme Oh right! Yes that is much more in depth than my cursory glances had made me think!! Wow, hope it works quickly for you!

'• First morning urine (FMU) does not always yield the best results, you may wish to try with your second morning urine (SMU) or an afternoon test after a 3-4 hour hold (no liquids'

I've been reading a bit about this too. I certainly wonder for myself.

No way can I hold for 3-4hours though I don't think!! 😅

@821k sorry I may have missed it back along the thread. Why such an early scan? Will they rescan you if they don't see anything? As clinics near me won't scan that early due to there being nothing to see. Have you tested again?

@OneMoreLittleFox took another test (just an internet cheapie) the next day and couldn't decide if I was seeing a shadow, an indent, or nothing - so I'm holding off for a few days and will see how things are! My nipples are still very sore and I'm a bit crampy so we'll see.

Well af has offically gone so will be snagging DP tonight and just going to attempt everyother day until earliest af due date...I'm even more determined then ever this month will be my month! (she says...)

I was only thinking this this morning. With my first I got really clear lines, the day my period was due (so I guess 13/14 dpo on tesco own brand tests, but it was def my second or third wee of the day. She was a suprise so I knew nothing about TCC, DPO, FMU at the time. I just had a feeling the day before that actually I was pregnant and I was right.

Im 8 dpo this time, trying to wait till Thursday to test. I desperately want it to be this month, I’ve been doing daft things like looking at baby and maternity clothes. Not sure why I’m torturing myself.

Congratulations to all the BFPs, it feels like there has been a lot of positives this thread which is really exciting!
