@ThelastRolo20 I know! I now can't wait for AF to show up so I can focus on the next cycle. I've got a fun weekend planned! Seeing some friends, and going to a dog event. Do you have a busy weekend?

@thejollytrolleydolly it's easy to compare your journey with other people's, don't feel bad for doing it. I hate waiting so waiting for this, and for things like interviews drives me mad! I do exactly what you do! I really hope you get what you've interviewed for. And I hope you get some darker BFPs soon!

I'm having a super strange day. I think today has been the most uncomfortable day yet. I'm 11dpo today. Got a stark white negative on a cheapie. But I'm having very uncomfortable symptoms. My mouth is constantly dry, so I'm constantly sipping on water. I'm really nauseous and burpy. I feel soo tired. I had massive brain fog at a meeting this morning and found myself struggling to keep track of the conversation (it was a 2 person meeting!!), and panting at the end of long sentences, and I'm freezing! My room thermometer says the room is 21 degrees, but I've got a jumper on and I've wrapped myself in a blanket. To add to that my back hurts and I feel cranky and constipated. Now all of this would make sense (and be worth it) if I were pregnant 😂But since I've only been getting negatives, I'm feeling quite fed up with myself and my body at the moment. I need a nap 😅I'm starting a new role within the same company on Monday (yay promotion!!), and I'm meeting my new line manager this afternoon and I doubt I'm going to make a very good first impression 😂Atleast she's heard good things about me from the people I currently work with (yay for internal promotions!)

ThelastRolo20 · 20/07/2023 14:40

@Myna13 oo that sounds fun! Seeing a couple of friends but also needing to empty our garage as half of it is getting converted to a utility starting next week. Very exciting but loads to prepare beforehand! :)

Myna13 · 20/07/2023 14:42

@ThelastRolo20 I love a good home project! And I LOVE utility rooms! I wish we had the space for one. Emptying the garage doesn't sound fun, but it will be soo worth it once you've got your utility in! Super exciting stuff!

ThelastRolo20 · 20/07/2023 15:08

@Myna13 congratulations on your promotion by the way! Amazing news :)

Your symptoms do sound more pregnancy related but I think our bodies and minds do like to trick us sometimes. How many days PO are you again? Any chance you've tested too early?

Myna13 · 20/07/2023 15:11

@ThelastRolo20 Thanks!
My symptoms do sound pregnancy related. I'm 11dpo today, so unless I implanted late (8-10dpo) I should have a positive test by now. There's not much I can do really except for wait for AF or a BFP. I feel like shit and testing and getting BFNs make me feel out of control of everything, so I think I might have to wait a few. days and then test if AF doesn't arrive (due today/tomorrow).

ThelastRolo20 · 20/07/2023 15:34

@Myna13 I understand that. I'm also not testing again and waiting for AF :) makes it easier rather than seeing negatives

Myna13 · 20/07/2023 15:35

@ThelastRolo20 yup! Unfortunately, that's all we can do.
Until then, I'll keep sipping on my water and trying to feel alive 😅

MrsB262 · 20/07/2023 18:19

Sorry guys just home from work and I am EXHAUSTED!! This best be a sign, my legs are aching so much!

@Myna13 congratulations on the promotion!
@thejollytrolleydolly I already want to do another test 😂 I need to hold off for a few days so it has a chance to get darker if it's going to!

I'm not sure what I've missed today as I think I've missed a few messages but hope everyone is doing good! ❤️

thejollytrolleydolly · 20/07/2023 18:24

@Myna13 congratulations on the promotion! Your symptoms sound very promising! If it's any comfort I didn't get a positive and a faint one at that until the day before my period was due then got digital confirmation on the day. You definitely could have ovulated a bit later or just implanted really late in which case the cheapie wouldn't pick it up anyway. You're not out until af shows! Xxx

Myna13 · 20/07/2023 18:55

@MrsB262 I hope your exhaustion is a good sign! Keeping my fingers crossed for you 🤞🏽

@thejollytrolleydolly yup, these symptoms sound soo strange. I'm nervous to still have hope, but at the same time my body is telling me otherwise. So would just like something to happen either way so I don't have to keep waiitng 😂

MrsB262 · 20/07/2023 21:01

I've done another test tonight and there's a line!! So basically now I'm hoping for a good line progression in the next weeks 🤞🏻🤞🏻

Bubblesandtroubles · 20/07/2023 21:30

Congratulations to everyone who has BFPs! And also to @Myna13 for the promotion! Is it a big difference in role and responsibilities?

I'm still feeling soo pregnant! But you're all a bad influence on me so I caved and tested this evening when my husband suggested it. BFN.

My body is bloody convincing liar if I'm not 😩 I've still got a residual migrainey type headache, felt sickly if not quite full on nausea, that deep inside hot Fuzz sensation, swear my boobs have gone up a cup size, shattered.

I'm guessing though if I had enough hormones for these all to be genuine symptoms and not just a figment of my imagination I'd have enough for a positive test..?

Not 100% out yet I guess but trying to talk some sense into my clearly vivid imagination to calm it down! Xx

MrsB262 · 20/07/2023 21:38

@Bubblesandtroubles it could be the test, maybe try a different one? Mine is sooo faint but definitely there so I've ordered some different types on amazon for the weekend! My test was negative yesterday and I had symptoms so plenty of time 😊

CatiaR · 20/07/2023 21:54

@MrsB262 exciting, will keep my fingers crossed for you hopefully it continues to progress nicely

thejollytrolleydolly · 21/07/2023 01:00

@MrsB262 pictures please!!

@Bubblesandtroubles our bodies are sneaky little buggers when they want to be! You're not out yet so don't lose hope! You could just be a late positive! I really want to try a digital tomorrow but I also don't want to waste them if it's too early aaargh what to do 😂 xx

Bubblesandtroubles · 21/07/2023 06:42

Tested again this morning. If I stand on my head and squint with one eye whilst tilting the test, I can- just about- see the faintest of faint lines.

Wishful thinking at it's finest. 🙈

Going to wait a couple of days if AF doesn't come first.

Good luck to anyone testing this morning! Xx

AP27 · 21/07/2023 07:20

@Bubblesandtroubles i also got the faintenst possible secod line on a cheapie yesterday morning, then a bfn in the evening. Today the faintest bfp again (11 dpo). I am regretting taking the test, as I know, I will probably be disappointed. Could just be an evap 🤷
I have frequent cramping and yesterday I think I was bothered by DS1's dirty diaper smell more than usual. We'll see, fingers crossed 🤞
We could avoid so many worries if we just wouldnt test early 😂

MrsB262 · 21/07/2023 07:24

@thejollytrolleydolly These are last nights, going to skip testing today though

@Bubblesandtroubles fingers crossed for you 🤞🏻

@MrsB262 I can definitely see a line there! Can't wait to see it get stronger over the next few days.

@AP27 keeping my fingers crossed for you 🤞🏽 hope you get your BFP sooner rather than later

@thejollytrolleydolly id hold on to the digital for a few more days just to give it the best chance to show you the answer you want 😋

I've woken up with a cold today, so many my symptoms were just me falling sick unfortunately because I'm 12dpo today, AF due today as well, and got a negative FRER. Think I'm definitely out this cycle unfortunately. Just going to wait for AF to arrive now. I'm still going to hang out here because it's so lovely to see all your line progressions! Keeping my fingers crossed for all of you 🤞🏽🤞🏽

thejollytrolleydolly · 21/07/2023 07:53

@MrsB262 I can see it! Congrats! Hopefully it starts to get darker over the next few days 😊

@AP27 hopefully this is the start of a decent BFP!

@Bubblesandtroubles oh fingers crossed it gets darker! I've not even had another shadow of a line but I think I'm going to try and get some more 1st response as they seem to be the most sensitive.

I slept so awful last night had horror dreams which I do normally get before BFP but just be a fluke... does anyone think kids can be intuitive? So I was getting my daughter ready for nursery this morning and she said "mummy I will share my toys with Roxy" I said who's Roxy? "She said roxy! The baby that lives in mummys tummy!" I said I hope you're right about that one! I wonder where she got that name from she doesn't know anyone called Roxy! Bless her she's so desperate for a sibling she was showing her toys to the dog this morning 🙈 xx

omg how can you want to skip testing today! that’s a line, i’d be peeing on every test i could find just for the fun of it 😂

thejollytrolleydolly · 21/07/2023 08:41

@satellitesunshine 😂😂 I would be too!! X

Hotmalibu94 · 21/07/2023 09:00

11dpo today. BFN on FRER and cheapie. I think that's me out really, I feel exactly the same as last month when I've compared symptoms. This next cycle I'm going to go back to BBT I think.

Good luck to anyone still left to test and congratulations to those with their BFPs 🥰

satellitesunshine · 21/07/2023 09:28

i’m trying to be optimistic this cycle as i’m getting so many twinges which is something i got with both pregnancies. too early to test so time will tell but i hope i’m right 😭
