@BuzzieBo I would recommend some way of tracking. If you don’t wanna do opks at least try bbt or checking cervix as apps aren’t reliable.

@Amuseaboosh congratulations, after a tough 18 months sounds like you deserve a nice happy pregnancy now so hoping this is it for you x

@hopefulsquirrel i'm really sorry about the bfn, hope you are ok, sending a hug 💜 x

I am 6dpo today, (although my ff app is telling me from my temps that I am 7dpo today so one of us is wrong by a day) trying not to think constantly and scroll constantly but failing so far lol. I don't think I really have any symptoms.

Ladyinpink1 · 23/05/2023 19:45

@hopefulsquirrel I misread your message, I read that you were 13dpo but you said you ovulated on 13th (not you are 13dpo), so it's still early days, sorry for mixup, i'm tired today is my excuse. 🙂 Will you test again in the morning? x

I said I had nothing to symptom spot but actually I do have a random thing that happened this afternoon, I got a ringing in my ears a few times then a funny feeling that they needed to pop, like on a plane, has anyone had this before? I know its random and my ears have absolutely nothing to do with my ovaries or the tww 🤣 and noone here wants to hear about my ears but it was strange and so i'm sharing with you all. 🤣

hopefulsquirrel · 23/05/2023 19:56

@Ladyinpink1 nothing to apologise for! I was being daft testing this early, tomorrrow is still early too but I doubt I can resist tbh

That does sound strange! And who knows if it could be related there seem to be a lot of strange symptoms associated with hormones!

cdn298 · 24/05/2023 06:26

I took a test this morning 🤦‍♀️ only 6dpo so knew full well it would be a bfn 🤣 my boobs started really hurting yesterday and that was my first symptom when I got pregnant with DS so 🤞🏻I'll test again Sunday x

hopefulsquirrel · 24/05/2023 07:58

@cdn298 fingers crossed that’s a sign!

@Ladyinpink1 actually I ovulated on the 15th, but on cd13. Misread Premom when I was writing my other post!

emmatcc1 · 24/05/2023 09:55

6dpo here my bbt went up today and I’m having some cm.

OP posts:
Ladyinpink1 · 24/05/2023 09:56

@hopefulsquirrel lol you are as bad as me, we both must be tired 🙂 So you are 9dpo today, is that right? Do you plan on testing again?

@cdn298 I tested today too at 7dpo, bfn, wish I would have waited, same every cycle lol. Great to have a symptom, would sore breasts be unusual for you at this time? Hopefully a good sign 🙂

VitaminSea77 · 24/05/2023 09:59

I’m glad you guys are driving yourselves mad symptom spotting too!

I’m 8 DPO now. I have tender boobs, lots of cm, cramping and feel washed out. Can’t remember symptoms from my previous pregnancies so for all I know I could just be tired and about to come on AF 🤦🏻‍♀️

still trying to hold out until Friday to test 🤞🏻

cdn298 · 24/05/2023 12:02

@Ladyinpink1 I test early alll the time too 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️
I don't usually have any symptoms before AF. We're going away Saturday afternoon for the weekend so I think I'd best do a test Saturday morning just in case x

I’m testing daily as apparently I can’t help myself!!!

emmatcc1 · 24/05/2023 13:18

@hopefulsquirrel Have you tested today yet? I think you’re the furthest in the tww here.

Yep, with FMU. Still BFN - just with Amazon cheapies. I have ordered a couple of FRERs though.

I know I should wait until AF is late but I have no patience.

Really got my hopes up last month when AF was 2 days late. Was bit brutal when it arrived

Thank you ❤️ a day at a time. I'm 4 weeks tomorrow, have been prescribed progesterone pesseries today, and an early scan booked with my GAU in 12 days' time.

Beyond that, there's nothing for me to do but try and keep myself busy and distracted.

@Ladyinpink, sending you lots of positive baby vibes. That goes for everyone else still waiting for their BFP.

Amuseaboosh · 24/05/2023 19:34

emmatcc1 · 23/05/2023 11:51

@Amuseaboosh Wow! It must’ve been a long journey then hopefully with a happy ending. Your hcg must be high or you got your dates mixed up.
I’m currently on month 10 of trying.

I think my dates are as accurate as can be, but then who truly knows what goes on in their bodies ☺️ it could be high HCG, but I know too well that can change at any given time.

10 months, that must be tough. I wish you a positive and happy result very soon.

Hrps · 24/05/2023 22:31

I'm 8dpo and gave in and tested and it's a BFN. I'm not hopeful for this month as with my DS It was clearly showing at 8dpo. Oh well, I'll test again in 2 days but I'm not getting any symptoms either 😔

hopefulsquirrel · 24/05/2023 22:49

Sorry to hear about the BFN @Hrps. 8 DPO is still really early though.

emmatcc1 · 24/05/2023 23:11

@Hrps I agree 8 dpo is very early. Implantation usually happens on day8-9.

What tests does everyone use? I'm 10dpo and took an early test this morning. There was a faint line so I'm hopeful... but I had a missed miscarriage 11 weeks ago and it took a while for my hcg to go down. Part of me wants to be excited, the other part of me thinks it's just a false positive picking up on leftover hormones.

Has anyone had this happen before? I took a clear blue, but haven't used one since I became pregnant the first time. The faint line appeared in the first 5 minutes of testing.

I'm really hopeful... it's my huband's birthday tomorrow so I'm hoping a line will be a bit stronger.

I'm the same! At this point, I'm tempted to ask my husband to escort me to the loo in the mornings! We found out about our first pregnancy (sadly lost it) quite early as it was my birthday and I was on the fence about having a glass of prosecco that evening.

emmatcc1 · 25/05/2023 10:39

@inthewest I use the onestep strips.

How is everyone doing today?

OP posts:
hopefulsquirrel · 25/05/2023 12:15

I’m 10 DPO and still testing negative but it’s early days I guess.

Ladyinpink1 · 25/05/2023 18:46

@Amuseaboosh Thank you, and keep us updated on how you get on 🙂 x

@Hrps I understand, I got my last bfp quite early at 8dpo too, and I am 8dpo today but there wasn't even a hint of a line. I will prob continue to test and torture myself though until AF arrives lol. Will you? x

@inthewest That's great! Hoping this is your bfp 🙂 Keep us updated when you test again. I use 2 different types of ic... one step and clinical guard, both very reliable in my experience. x

@emmatcc1 I am ok, had work then a sick dc so been quite busy until now which is good 🙂 how do you feel? x

@hopefulsquirrel Still early, I read threads all the time where 12 and 13dpo are a common time for bfp. Are you managing to keep busy? x

Hrps · 25/05/2023 19:57

Most likely going to test and torture but I'm already pretty damn sure. I can't quite describe it, but I don't feel pregnant at the moment, my boobs aren't sore, I've got no other symptoms and I'm quite sensitive to hormonal changes normally. Oh well youre never out till Flo's here, but I don't think this one is the one for me

cdn298 · 25/05/2023 20:13

I'm driving myself mad symptom spotting 😫😫
I'm 7 dpo had sore boobs 2 days ago but that seems to have stopped.. then today I have had a tiny bit of spotting and my gums just randomly bled which is very weird!! My gums literally never bleed..
