Okay so today im 6DPO.... got some on and off low cramping, on and off headaches feeling constantly tired and just no energy, some thick white CM,my cervix is soft and higher up and just a general mleh feeling. Ive notice too the past 2 days my lower stomach is bloated a bit gassy and this sounds weird but when i bend or anything it feels like my tummys in the way so to speak. Know its WAY to early to test and trying so hard not to symptom spot yet just hoping this is my month. Anyone else in the same boat ?

@BlippyMoose26 go for it if you want to! I’ve had the worst day at work. I applied for a new job yesterday and had a call with them today, I’ve now got an interview on Wednesday so I’m actually kind of hoping for a BFN. If I happen to move jobs I’d rather wait to get my employment rights so that I’m entitled to mat leave. If it’s a BFP I’ll just stay out at my current job but what will be will be. Also I managed to fall down the stairs earlier and hit my back so again hoping for a BFN as I’d be scared about any harm I might have caused.

@Mrsrobinsonx welcome! It’s a bit of a funny one on mumsnet as sometimes you just sync up with people and sometimes it’s a wait. When I first started lurking on here everyone seemed age’s through their TWW’s but it’s still fun to read other people’s experiences. This is my first cycle so I’m new to all this. Keeping my fingers crossed for your TWW 🤞🏼

Hello everyone I hope you're all good. I've been following this post for a while. Congrats to everyone getting their BFPs. I'm 9dpo and spending all my time symptom spotting. We had a MMC in September and have been TTC since. This is the first month I've had a positive on an ovulation test so fingers crossed. Baby dust to everyone waiting to test. I think i might test in the morning when im 10dpo. Is anyone else testing tomorrow?

vitahelp · 27/01/2023 22:21

Hope everyone is ok. I’ve just got in bed, had a work event this afternoon and got home a couple of hours ago. I wasn’t drinking anyway which worked out well in case I am pregnant. I got quite a lot of sharp pains while I was out which I’m sure I wasn’t imagining as it would happen while I was busy chatting to someone. I’m going to see if my temp is still high in the morning then test again if it is. Wish it was morning already, feeling impatient but also nervous about how I’ll feel tomorrow if I get a bfn..

@Chanteuse Eeek congratulations!! It’s so reassuring seeing a positive test in words isn’t it 😊

Mrsrobinsonx · 27/01/2023 22:28

@Chanteuse Huge congratulations!

@Swiftie12 Hi! ☺️ yeah, it’s great to talk to other people that understand.
I love seeing people getting bfp’s no matter how long/quickly it’s taken. Reassuring to know others get there eventually x

toomuchscreentime · 28/01/2023 07:59

Fingers crossed and baby dust for everyone testing this morning! And huge congratulations @Chanteuse !!

BFN here at 10DPO and some period pain so I think AF could be on the way 😒 it'll be a real kick in the teeth if I come on today as it's LOs swimming lesson and I have to get in the pool with him 🤦‍♀️

toomuchscreentime · 28/01/2023 08:00

Not even 10, 11dpo actually 🤦‍♀️

Chanteuse · 28/01/2023 08:30

Thanks ladies! I got home at 2am last night (I’m on a ‘boozy’ weekend away) and I am knackered!! So many people bought me drinks too, I had to pretend I was weird and fussy and get the alcohol separate to ‘dilute it a bit’ 😂😂

Rainbowbabyplease · 28/01/2023 09:03

BFN this morning 😔 but pink CM when I wipe. Had cramps on and off all week. I hope AF isn't making an early appearance this month. 10dpo today and AF not due until between 1st and 3rd Feb.

vitahelp · 28/01/2023 09:17

@toomuchscreentime Sorry you got a bfn, I hope AF doesn’t show. I also have a swimming lesson with DD where I have to get in the water tomorrow - will just add insult to injury if AF shows today/tomorrow.

@Chanteuse Congratulations! I bet it felt so surreal going out and knowing you’re pregnant but having to keep it quiet! I’m glad you managed to avoid drink without too much questioning!!

@Rainbowbabyplease Sorry to hear you got a bfn. I hope it is just spotting and not your AF showing up early. Keep us updated.

I’m getting in more of a mess as the days go by! I ended up waking at 4am and couldn’t sleep so took temp and it was really low. Even though it was much earlier than when I usually take my temp I assumed it meant I was out anyway. I fell asleep and woke again at 7am and took my temp again and it was high again like yday. I don’t think either one is reliable as I usually do it at 6 so feel in the dark. I tested again and could have sworn I saw a line after the 3 mins but it seemed to disappear and within 5 mins I could see nothing. I took pics and messed with contrast settings and can almost convince myself there’s a line but I think I’m just clutching at straws. I mean I’m 12dpo and it’s been 24 hours since I last tested, I shouldn’t need to be squinting and editing photos etc!

i done another test this morning and im sure im making myself see the hint of the faintest tinest line ever lol .... i have thought they would be getting darker and no need to squint either as im same as you 12DPO but i think it depends on the brand of tests and how much dye is in them, also implantation could still technically be going on so if we caught late then maybe a dark line wouldnt be there yet ?? Maybe im just trying to puersuede myself im not out yet even though i am loosing hope this month a bit now... ive still go the odd random twinge and sore boobs and on and off sicky feeling but thats it now, usually by now 2 days before AF id be getting some type of crampyness/moodyness but im not that was all last week ..... its so weird !!!! x

your not out yet hun, 10DPO is still very early days especially if the pink CM is implantation it probably wouldnt show on a test yet anyways, give it another coupld days and test again.... i had a ton of symptoms pretty much from ov round to 10dpo too .... wishing you all the luck x

@Chanteuse thank you I will update if I have any news.

@BlippyMoose26 how many dpo are you now? I had horrendous mood swings yesterday which a remember when i fell pregnant last year. Sadly it ended in a MMC. Ive had a ton of symptoms too. Cramping eased off yesterday but is back witu a vengeance today. Im using tests that aren't the most sensitive. Tempted to go and get early response today. Cycle has only been 26 days since miscarriage in September. Will post an update later on.

im 12 dpo today ...

ive had various symptoms including on and off cramping mood swings sicky feeling lightheadedness sore boobs bloating gassy constantly tired yet when i try to sleep i cant im waking up through the night then cant back back to sleep to name a few, from 10dpo they started to fade a bit and now im just left with sore boobs tired and on and off sicky feeling. im usuing easy@home strips online it says 10mui but ont he box its saying 25mui so im not 100% sure if they are super sensitive as the boox says accurate from day of missed AF yet loads on the forums seem to swear by them. im going to hold of til monday which is when AF is due to go get a clearblue or something i think theyre soooo expensive here in spain to buy over the counter which is why ive stuck to the cheapie tests until necessary. fingers crossed for both of us hun x

@BlippyMoose26 it wasn’t too bad just had to order them weirdly so I could leave the ale out 😂

see this is going to be my major issue as and wen i get my BFP... my friends know me as the shot monster .... and i like a good sesh, theyre going to know IMMEDIATELY when i say no thanks to a drink that somethings up ... and im going to want to get past the safe stage first i think before i start telling people, plus my parents live in the UK and im in Spain so i think id prefer my parents finding out first from me rather than via the grapevine as i know how it is ...... UFFFF fingers crossed x

Hey everyone!! Glad you all seem okay! I didn’t test this morning, I’m just waiting for Monday/AF now really. I’ve not had any more pains today really, kind of feeling like AF will be on the way soon though.

@BlippyMoose26 things are sounding positive for you so I’m keeping everything crossed!!

vitahelp · 28/01/2023 19:50

@BlippyMoose26 It’s crazy how similar our situations are! I really hope it is good news for both of us, how amazing would that be! I’ve had a nice day out today with family and it took my mind off things a little. Still keep staring at the photos of my test this morning, sometimes I look and think there’s nothing there, then other times it seems an obvious line. If I had to put bets on it I would say I’m probably not pregnant, but I’m bound to think like that after 9 failed cycles!
Ive no tests left now and didn’t buy any when I went to the shops as I can’t stand another bfn or overanalysing another test..

@Chanteuse Haha I love the fake wine idea! I hope you cope ok with the drunk folk. I was driving yesterday and a lot of colleagues were wasted. It felt weird being sober as I do usually drink, was quite entertaining though!

Im keeping everything crossed I've had a nice chilled day actually so it's been nice had a few sharp stabby pains n backache so not sure if that's AF or not .. don't usually have the sharp stabs mind... Its like someone shoving a needle straight through me a couple have taken my breath away .. fingers crossed x

BlippyMoose26 · 29/01/2023 07:47

Morning ladies .... How is everyone ?

I'm totally confused now !! Around an hour after I got the stabbing pains last night I done my usual nighttime cervix check .... It's still high and soft but I noticed some pink bloody muscusy stuff on my finger afterwards. Nothing when I pee or wipe though. I've done the same thing this morning and again .. bloody mucus. My lower stomach actually feels sore as if it's bruised as such inside ... So far no more pains and the usual AF types cramps barely noticable now.. of anything it's more of a fluttery feeling than a cramp. Being over 24 hours early for AF is unheard of for me so it's very strange but I'm beginning to feel I might be out this month. Today I'm 13DPO and I guess unless what I had last night was actual implantation I'd have shown a stronger line on a test by now... I have read that it's between days 6 and 12 so maybe im a late bloomer haha ... Will keep you posted throughout today and see what happens. Feeling tired already and haven't even done anything yet 😟 I really hope this isn't a cruel trick my bodies playing on me...

toomuchscreentime · 29/01/2023 08:50

Hi ladies

@BlippyMoose26 sounds like it could still be implantation given that you're having symptoms different to your usual AF?!

It's all so bloody hard isn't it I wish I could just be the type of person to wait for AF and not testing like a crazy person.

DH isn't entertaining any BFNs because he (rightly) says I didn't get a positive until after my period was due last time, but I feel like it's going to be even more disappointing for him if I don't, and deep down I just don't think I am pregnant yet 😢

Another BFN this morning but when I looked later I wondered if there was a very very very faint line. I've attached a pic but think I am just seeing things because I want it to be true. God it's only month 1 and I'm already turning mental with it all 🙈

Fuming because I then wasted a FRER on a tiny very diluted wee (sorry TMI) 😂
