Hi everyone, I'm currently around 1dpo ( haven't tested opks this month ) decided to do a relaxed approach instead. I doubt this will be my cycle like every other cycle that it just hasn't happend in BUT, we won't loose faith!

My cycles are around 26 days long - anyone else 1dpo or similar and want to chat? :)
The dreaded 2ww is here!🤞

I had pink cm yesterday morning 8dpo. Cramps for 3 days now. Hope its implantation and not start of early af. I'm getting anxious now waiting for the days to pass so I can know for sure

Show quote history

I've had pink cm since CD22, now CD29, but still got a clear BFN today so I'm pretty sure I'm out this month! If I ovulated at a usual time for my cycle length I'm between 11dpo and 15dpo. Fingers crossed you get a different result!

@flyinghighflyinglow
Do you usually spot before your period? I wouldn't count yourself out till a proper af arrives. I'm 10 dpo today, I see a small shadow line on the easy at home test. But it's not pink so I'm not getting my hopes up yet. Tomorrow I'm taking the first response. I do feel a little nauseous and a headache this morning but I think my nerves do that to me sometimes 😅

I'm around 9 dpo today I think, no real symptoms at all, boobs feel the same, I feel the same 🤦‍♀️ I have some discharge that's making me feel abit wetter than usual but.. I think I get that some months 🙈 I'm not going to get my hopes up (that's what we all say right?) I haven't tested yet.
I do feel abit sicky after my coffee this morning which is slightly odd but again, it's probably nothing!

Is anyone testing today? X

I'm 8dpo today and also feel a bit sicky, sensitive boobs since 2dpo and some cramping, but I'm driving myself insane with overthinking and line eyes after getting obsessive with testing. I think the TWW is such an emotional rollercoaster and is very much overlooked when discussing stress for women when TTC. We all have hopes don't we, as much as we all try to act fine during this time. I'm hoping for good news for all xx

SnookyPook · 16/02/2023 09:38

@vix_85 you are so right. It's so hard to focus on anything else during the tww. I feel like my work has suffered the last few days!

Currently 10dpo here but planning to hold off testing until Sun/Mon. Had cramps all day Tues but not much since, and no heavy achey boobs which was a major symptom last time. I know every pregnancy can be different but hard not to compare and go on previous experience!

buckingmad · 16/02/2023 10:06

9dpo too. I've had mild cramping on and off the last few days and my BBT is still elevated. Trying really hard not to symptom spot.

Bought an early detection CB from the supermarket yesterday and was so paranoid I'd bump into my inlaws. Am going to use it tomorrow morning with DH who gets back late tonight.

Kate33ttc · 16/02/2023 10:23

I'm so frustrated. I used my only first response just now at 10 dpo, and there is a light grey line, not pink. I've had these before, indents or waterlines..now I'll be overthinking it all day. I wish I had held off for at least another day

I usually spot for 2-3 days before AF, not this long. Because that's when I came down with the flu I'm thinking that has a lot to do with it! Same happened when I had covid last year, I started spotting when I got ill, spotted for over 2 weeks, AF arrived over a week late. I'm no longer nauseous, have sore boobs, headache or the acid, but my DH now has the flu and has all the above minus the sore boobs 😂.

Can someone who knows this tests very good tell me if they have indents like this?

Very similar test to mine and mine is completely blank! Fingers crossed for you

@FlyingHighFlyingLow it was blank for me last 3 days as well 🙏🏻

Did it come up within the time frame? I use the easy at home strips and sometimes after 10 minutes a line appears like this. I got one this morning too, but it was a tiny bit there within the time frame..a squinter.. then darkens later on. Hope its a positive for us both!

Ks2023 · 16/02/2023 17:24

@Kate33ttc it was straight away and wasn’t even fmu it was like 2 hours hold and loads of water and tea. Done another one it’s the same as well. I’ll do one tomorrow again. I don’t trust frer anymore I probably done around 10 of them some come back completely negative and some with very faint line. I’m 12dpo today and last night have very bad pain so I thought may be AF is coming or it was implantation. I did this strip tests last 4 days and kept all of them and all of them stark white apart todays one. I really hope it’s our BFP months 🙏🏻 How many dpo you are? Keep me updated x

@Ks2023 what tests are those? Around 2 months ago I bought some cheapies from amazon with blue strip like yours, I got a few faint positives like yours but then my period arrived! I haven't took any since but, I was confused if I had a chemical pregnancy or not. I need to take another soon so I'll update if theirs a faint line or not like yours, fingers crossed its true and they don't lie! When will you test again? Xx

Ks2023 · 16/02/2023 18:46

@BabyBx it’s just strange that for 4 days all of them been negative and from today I see faint line. I’ll do test tomorrow again. I’m just so confused 😕

vix_85 · 16/02/2023 18:53

@Ks2023 the lack of reliability of tests is so frustrating! I had the same with cheapo test strips

@Ks2023 Are they the one step tests? If you saw negatives and now the faint line I'd say you may well be pregnant ❤
I took one this morning (the amazon one step ones) and i swear I see a shadow on mine too like I did last time but I aren't sure if it's my eyes, these tests or I am actually pregnant! It's so odd
I'm around 10dpo today xx

Can anyone see the shadow?

I can see it! They're the same tests I have and all have been 100% blank.

Ks2023 · 17/02/2023 10:52

Kate33ttc · 17/02/2023 12:14

Oh my god. I'm pregnant. Pink line ony first response today at 11dpo. I'm praying this baby sticks 🙏 I don't feel any different. Booked my doctors appointment for next Friday!

Kate33ttc · 17/02/2023 13:07

I told my doctor about the pink cm, which happened twice so they want me to go in to them today

@Kate33ttc ah so it wasn't AF after all? So confused! Haha! But congrats! Hope all progresses well for you. 😊

I thought it could be af because I usually spot or get pink cm before, but it was a few days early. And I had what felt like af cramping, but nope. Must have been implantation :)
