Thank you ladies for the support! We are all in this together! 😊

CatiaR · 23/07/2023 06:17

@ABLOSSOM I’m trying really hard no to test until mid to late this coming week AF is due the monday after at the end of the month so we are very close in timings. I got plenty of tests at my disposal so we’ll see if I cave 😂

Loubelleellis · 23/07/2023 07:47

Hey , hope everyone’s okay 🙂. Im I’m my tww. Would you ladies be able to tell me if this is a BFP or just a shadow line? My internet cheapie seems negative but my first response seems to have a line. I’m 10dpo. Could it just be faulty ? Thanks in advance.

@Loubelleellis Hi! Welcome 😊

I can see a very faint line and 10dpo is still early so fingers crossed it progresses!

Loubelleellis · 23/07/2023 08:27

Thanks hun. This is exactly what happened at 10dpo with my DS so hoping it’s a good sign. Trying not to get to excited just incase. I’ve never had a line come up when it’s a BFN before. Fingers crossed xx

MrsB262 · 23/07/2023 08:27

@Loubelleellis I can see a line, fingers crossed it gets stronger

@thejollytrolleydolly did you do your digital this morning?

I did an ovulation test this morning just out of curiosity!

thejollytrolleydolly · 23/07/2023 09:33

Morning @MrsB262 no I did a cheapie and it was as negative as can be! I'm 12dpo. I don't normally get a BFP until 13/14 so I'm going to wait until my af is due and retest if nothing happens. I have no af symptoms at all currently, still getting twinges on alternating sides, yesterday I must have peed 3,000 times and waves of nausea again.

If I'm getting af I'll start with solid cramps from today or tomorrow. Nothing yet though and my cervix is REALLY high so 🤷🏽‍♀️ xx

@MrsB262 I love that the ov strips pick up the pregnancy!! I did one today and it has the slightest shadow but that's probably just LH to be honest lol! X

thejollytrolleydolly · 23/07/2023 09:35

@Loubelleellis I would definitely take another test (different brand) in a few days. I have had multiple false positives with frer lately ☹️ xx

MrsB262 · 23/07/2023 09:55

@thejollytrolleydolly not long to go! I'm glad the ovulation test showed up dark because I don't think my pregnancy test has progressed much, I thought it would be darker by now but I suppose I'm not due on until Tuesday, just worried it's a chemical!

Loubelleellis · 23/07/2023 10:14

I’ve just been reading about there ‘indent’ lines so I’m very nervous this is what it is. Just hoping it’s the start of something as I do feel very different.

CatiaR · 23/07/2023 13:30

How’s everyone doing today?

still got the same symptoms of very sore boobs and got a massive headache today but that could be anything or because I’m hungry right now 😂

I’ve felt way more hormonal today as I’ve been quite snappy at my husband but that also might go away after I’ve finally had food, I can get very hangry 😂

can’t wait for this week to go by and know what is going on or move onto the next cycle.

aiming to do a test probably Wednesday as its 5 days early and use an early detection from boots but not holding too hope on that since it may still be too early!

Bubblesandtroubles · 23/07/2023 13:50

I caved and tested late morning. Negative 😔
Still no AF as of half an hour ago.
I'm still clinging on to a teeny bit of hope but if I'm honest with myself I know I'm out. Gutted. Not sure if I even want to go through trying again next month 😩 xx

Myna13 · 23/07/2023 22:08

Hey everyone!
Hope you've had a good weekend. We've had a super busy one, so that's good because it's taken my mind off everything.
It's been loving catching up with all of your news! Apologies for not responding to everyone individually.
@thejollytrolleydolly don't let your bfn bring you down. You're still early. And your symptoms sound positive so hoping to see a BFP in a few days time.
Update from me: AF was due on Friday. It's Sunday night and it hasn't arrived yet. My boobs have ballooned and are falling out of my bra, I've got cramps and nausea and I'm constantly thirsty and have a dry mouth. I'm also mildly constipated. I keep having a gushing feeling sort of like AF and feeling really wet. But when I run to the bathroom to check / wipe, there's nothing there. Not even CM. Strange stuff. I've never had this before. I don't know if these are good things or not. I'm 14dpo and still negative. But my app says I can reliably test only this Friday because I've got slightly longer cycles? I don't understand. And in my head I'm out. But my husband has noticed my symptoms and after spending the last 14 days telling me to stop symptom spotting, he's excited and things it's highly likely I'll get a BFP next weekend. But im seeing soo many on here get their BFPs so early on, I feel like with a BFN on 14dpo, im most definitely out.
I know that all bodies are different, etc. but yea. AF hasn't arrived so I don't know what to make of things
Anyways, I hope you all have a lovely lovely week ahead! ❤️

fleur89 · 23/07/2023 22:35

My baby has covid, I'm pretty sure covid caused my mmc last time as the dates line up and there's plenty of evidence now to support heightened risk when catching covid in the first trimester. I'm currently 4 weeks pregnant and have been crying all evening, it'll hit me tomorrow or Tuesday and I'm prepping myself in case it happens again. Absolutely devastated.

CatiaR · 24/07/2023 05:54

Good morning everyone!

@Myna13 its not over until AF arrives so fingers crossed you get your BFP soon!

@fleur89 oh no, hope you’ll be ok and you get a sticky bean despite covid being around.

As for me I’ve felt similar symptoms to what Myna has said above. My boobs are incredibly sore like I’ve never had, I woke up at 2AM this morning to pee really bad and I never do that. Then it took me ages to go back to sleep and felt twinges, so hoping those are good signs.

I’m still estimating to be 10dpo but could be wrong as I never actually tested, another app I looked at tells me a different timing so I could still be about 7dpo. I caved this morning and tested which I shouldn’t especially given that I peed in the middle of the night but still did and got naturally a BFN but that’s what I expected anyway. The original plan was to wait till Wednesday/Thursday to do a boots early detection as by then I’ll be about 4-5 days away from AF and that may detect. And got a cb digital for when and if AF doesn’t show.

how’s everyone else feeling today?

thejollytrolleydolly · 24/07/2023 09:33

Morning all! Ermmm 13dpo and although I'm holding onto hope I think I may be out. I'm due af tomorrow and although I have 0 symptoms to say either way, I don't have the feeling that I'm pregnant like last time. I sort of just knew before. Obvs it's not over until the red lady sings but I'm not feeling confident!

@Myna13 you're symptoms sound promising! I have 2 friends who didn't get their BFP until a week after their af was due so you could still be in!

@fleur89 oh hun, I'm sorry that happened. Big hugs, I'm sure anxiety is running high but try not to stress yourself out too much. This one will hopefully be a sticky one ❤️

Bubblesandtroubles · 24/07/2023 10:37

@fleur89 I totally understand why you are so anxious but try not to panic. Increased risk- even if proven- does not mean certainty by any means. I'm sorry for what you went through last time but it does not mean it's going to happen again.
Look after yourself. Xx

GHJ · 24/07/2023 12:04

I'm now 5 days overdue AF still testing negative on early tests so pretty sure I'm definitely out! Really want to know what's going on though, been getting discomfort lower right abdomen and a few days ago I had nipple discharge mostly sort of clear then some milky stuff too which has never happened! I'm having very mild brown and pink discharge occasionally when I wipe. To be honest I'm sort of hoping AF happens now just to know everything is ok and can move onto next month. Bit worried it could be something more serious or something that will stop us TTC.

Biscuitbeann · 24/07/2023 12:11

@GHJ hope you don’t mind me joining in currently 3DPO and reading everything I can during the TWW. Just to offer some reassurance one of my friends didn’t get her BFP until 16 days after AF was due and was cycle day 49!! Her symptoms all sounded very similar to yours aswell!

CatiaR · 24/07/2023 12:53

@Biscuitbeann welcome! woof that is a very long wait, I still got about a week left till AF is due and going nuts already can't imagine another 2 weeks on top but given that AF for me can delay a week if I am stressed alone I wouldn't be surprised if she did the same this time round but hope not

fingers crossed you get your BFP!

thejollytrolleydolly · 24/07/2023 13:56

@GHJ I flew with a friend a few days ago who was using the early detection tests and didn't get a BFP until 7 days after her AF was due! She was really confused as to what was going on just like you!

OP posts:
Myna13 · 24/07/2023 14:11

@GHJ I'm 3 days overdue AF and still testing negative on the early detection tests. I've also got some discomfort in my lower abdomen, cramps and a lower backache, along with a bunch of other symptoms but I feel far from period-ey. Like you, I'm also waiting for AF to just come already so I can focus on the next cycle. Or for that BFP to show up so I know this is why I've been feeling really strange. Hopefully we both get our answers, either way, soon.

@thejollytrolleydolly and @Biscuitbeann I've also heard of people actually getting their BFPs only 7-10 days after AF was due, so knowing that you personally know people who have been in that position is comforting. It means I really do still have some home (and hopefully an explanation for these symptoms).

@CatiaR your symptoms also sound really positive! Waiting to see a BFP for you super soon!

GHJ · 24/07/2023 14:29

Hi @Myna13 it's not a very nice situation to be in but it's comforting to hear someone else going through the same. Please keep me updated either way. Really hope you get your bfp but if not that you don't have long to wait. Doctor is going to refer me for some tests which I'm relieved by, would just like to know everything is ok. I've had lower abdo discomfort for the last couple of cycles off and on but getting worse so not sure what that is. Had some sl pink discharge on Saturday at a wedding thought it was AF so had a fair few drinks but promptly stopped so hopefully that hasn't upset anything either!

@@Biscuitbeann @thejollytrolleydolly
Reassuring to hear of your friends getting late bfps!

CatiaR · 24/07/2023 14:48

@Myna13 Hopefully! one week left to know ahhh XD

Can't wait to hear everybody's updates throughout the week
