Halloween testers 🎃

[ChipAndDip]

Hi all,

I’m just starting my TWW and planning on testing around 29 October (unless period comes sooner which it did last month!)

Anyone else planning to test around Halloween?

It's so odd you ladies talking about cramping but no AF - I'm experiencing the same thing at the moment and no AF. It's not due until tomorrow anyway so I hope I get to rush to Boots on Saturday morning for tests because AF didn't show!

I got my fingers crossed we will see some positive here over the weekend so please share! And keep my mind of my own testing, not due for another week 🤦🏼‍♀️

@Raddish88 AF is due Sunday so I'm gonna test then if it doesn't appear.

I'll probably end up testing on Saturday and not admitting it

@SmurfStar I love and appreciate the honesty 😂😂

Ladies who have been pregnant before... did you cramp before your BFP, did you feel like AF was coming? I know they say PMS and v early pregnancy symptoms can be really similar but just wondered if that was true for any of you?

I think AF is probably coming but it's such a mind f*ck isn't it. You try and hold onto a thread of hope.

I swear before I started TTC I paid no attention to symptoms, all I remember is cramping the day before or the day of period or sometimes no cramps at all but since TTC I've noticed cramping like 4/5 days before, so either my body is cruel and likes to mess with me OR I had them before but just didn't really register them OR are they phantom cramps because I'm crazy?? And I'm focusing so much on that area 😂

Hello @Roxybabe yes, I did have cramps around 12dpo. And like, a crampy vagina kind of feeling which I sometimes get with AF too

Actually it was after my BFP but not long...

@Roxybabe I got AF cramps and backache probably about 2 days before my period was due, obviously never arrived but the pains were identical xx

Eagerly awaiting everyone's journey and updates on here. I had a slight temp drop.this morning and I've had a really bad stomach (sorry if TMI!) so I'm just guessing AF is soon on her way, just an few days late to get my hopes up 🤣🙈

Someone in the next few days is going to say I thought it was AF.....and bam no it wasnt 😁 really would like to revel in someone's positive. Get your sticks at the ready ladies....

@Raddish88 I stupidly looked at my test after the 10 minute test time and I thought I could see a very very faint line. Someone on another post had inverted their test and saw the line so I did the same with mine and now I'm clinging on to that teeny faint line and praying I'm not out just yet. Truth is if it was obvious I wouldn't have needed to invert it 🤣

Ok so I may be clutching at straws but I think I'm back on the hope train. Cramps have settled and suddenly out of nowhere my nose is streaming like a tap! Its really itchy and I've sneezed like a hundred times. I have obviously frantically googled and apparently this can be because of increased blood flow and increased progesterone. It's probably just a strange coincidence but it's given me a little hope, has anybody had this before?

I’m pretty much certain my feeling is AF and I’ve just scoffed a share bar of galaxy to myself so I’m not hopeful I will see another pink line this month ha!

I really really hope there is a few more positives over the next few days! 🤞😊

@Roxybabe @AliceD7 i'll keep everything crossed for you both. You're not out until AF comes. Xx

I am 7dpo today and already convincing myself I have symptoms ! It’s going to be a long couple of days waiting for AF 🙈

I had cramps before bfp with my first (no idea how many dpo I was as I wasn't tracking) but then I realised af never came so took a test and it was a clear positive.

This cycle ive had mild cramps at 6 7 and 8DPO. I'm slightly hopeful now as they were too early to be af cramps. I've had a headache for last couple of days too. Not caved and tested yet. Im 9dpo I'd love to wait for a late period but think I might test at 11dpo

Does your phone camera have a macro setting? Then you can really send yourself crazy.

👺 <- closest thing i could see to a devil emoji.*

Ooh you meanie 😝. Fortunately my phone isn't that advanced. Although I think there is an app I can download.

Boobs are genuinely a bit sore today and I was really hot last night which usually means AF is on the way so I think it's probably not my turn this month but I'm off to test again now anyway! 😂

I've given in to daily testing 😬 9dpo and BFN on FRER. Feeling like I am about to come on, nausea 🤢 (although I have a suspicion feeling yak is a new development of luteal phase hormones since I got my period back after having my son, this is my first proper cycle).

Sadly AF came today so onto the next cycle for me 🥲 I hope you all have some BFPs coming your way soon

Morning all, I’ve been away for the last couple of days so haven’t had much chance to read through all the messages. Hope everyone is feeling ok and sorry to all of you who have had BFNs/AF. AF arrived for me this morning so I’m out as well. Hopefully next month will be our month! 🤞

Good luck to everyone else still waiting to test, hope to see some lovely BFPs on the thread!

@Tbark @ChipAndDip sorry to hear AF arrived 👎 good luck for the next cycle xx @Roxybabe I have been feeling exactly the same as you, I have had cramps intermittently over the last couple of days, but no AF as of yet, trying to hold on to some hope like you.. I did a cheap test at 10dpo which was negative, due AF on Sunday so will just wait to see if it arrives now and not test again. Really hoping this is our month, dont want to go into another as that will be 6 months, I really thought it would have happened before this 😢

Good luck to everyone still waiting x

Hi ladies,

sitting In Burger King. I honestly thought the transfer hadn’t worked. 4dp5dt, praying it won’t be chemical or a miscarriage. I am a actually shutting myself and not telling a soul even the husband.

*shitting

@Hopefull1981 tentative congratulations, lovely! I don't even need to squint to see those lines 😊 wishing you a sticky bean!

@Hopefull1981 congrats!! 🙏 for a sticky one ❤️

@Tbark @ChipAndDip sorry ti hear AF came, it's really shit! Hope you have a nice weekend lined up!

@Daisy1992 exactly the same! Feel as though AF will get me tomorrow or Sunday. I want to test but too scared of seeing another BFN. I might test tomorrow as I'll be 12dpo. Hoping we get our BFPs soon 🙏
