BFN for me this morning, trying to hold off until Tuesday to test (as long as period doesn’t show) as that’ll be a missed period.
how are you? X

Sminbags · 29/07/2023 11:30

I’m sure there’s an absolute squinter on this internet cheapie but boyfriend can’t see anything. Line eyes are the worst 🥲

Sminbags · 29/07/2023 11:38

I am absolutely fine if you say you can’t see it, I think I need the clarification from others 🥲

@Sminbags there’s a shadow but not too noticeable. Fingers crossed it turns out a bfp for you.

I think I’m out this month so just waiting to see if AF will show up

Sminbags · 29/07/2023 11:40

whats your dpo? X

Sminbags · 29/07/2023 11:41

Also yes thank you, I think I’m imagining things, looking at the test I can’t see anything at all I’m just getting over my head 🥲

Myna13 · 29/07/2023 11:57

@GHJ hope you're more feeling more relaxed and I hope the blood tests answer all your questions. I'm 20dpo today and have started spotting. Think AF is (finally) on the way! I haven't felt pregnant the last 2 days so it's a relief really to finally be (sort of) starting a new cycle.

CatiaR · 29/07/2023 12:40

@Sminbags either 12 dpo or 14 I didn’t track. But keep having bfn

AF is due monday or Tuesday so just gonna wait. If I’m late then I might test again

CatiaR · 29/07/2023 14:56

Now got some brown discharge, trying to not hold on too much hope that could be late implantation.

ive only ever used my health app from iphone which tells me AF is due tuesday and I would be fairly confident with it but also recently downloaded premom and added the same data and is telling me that AF is due today and that I’m late 🙈

all of this is very confusing! I think I’ll just wait till Tuesday and see if AF turns up, if not then test again

Sminbags · 29/07/2023 16:40

I go on holiday on Wednesday for a month so I think I’m just going to assume I’m out on and try and enjoy my holiday as it’ll be hard to test there. Fingers crossed to everybody and I really hope you get your bfps soon! And huge congratulations to the ladies that have already got theirs, everything crossed for sticky beans x

CatiaR · 30/07/2023 15:40

AF arrived so I’m out this month and honestly I think I never had a chance, my iphone health app is rubbish so gonna use premom this month.

fingers crossed for anyone waiting and good luck to us trying next month! 😊

@thejollytrolleydolly hopefully we’ll have better luck next month

Hotmalibu94 · 30/07/2023 17:08

Ahhh @CatiaR I'm sorry. Best of luck for you next month!

CatiaR · 30/07/2023 17:15

Thanks 😉

MrsB262 · 30/07/2023 17:43

@CatiaR Good luck for next month ✨️

CatiaR · 30/07/2023 17:54

@MrsB262 thank you 😊

july89 · 31/07/2023 08:42

Hey gang. Not sure what to think anymore - did another digital this morning which said pregnant but then started bleeding about an hour later. It's just there when I wiped but pretty sure it's not good news. AF should have been due today. Gutted xx

Myna13 · 31/07/2023 08:45

@july89 I'm so sorry to hear this. That sounds really disappointing. But I've heard / read that some women bleed a little early on. If it's very little, and stops in 1-2 days it might not be a bad thing. Ofcourse, the best thing to do would be to get in touch with your doctor because they will know how to help you best. I know this is an upsetting time for you, so feel free to post on here so we can be there for you.
Sending lots of love, comfort & positivity your way ❤️

CatiaR · 31/07/2023 08:51

@july89 oh lovely sorry to hear! definitely get in touch with your doctor to check if all is ok.

sending all the love ❤

thejollytrolleydolly · 31/07/2023 09:15

@CatiaR fingers crossed this month is our one! 🤞🏽 I've got an appointment scheduled with the doctors today to speak to them about my fertility and see if they can do any checks. It took 3 years to conceive my daughter and I can't wait that long this time I'll be over 40!

This month I'll be trying opk's and I've also downloaded the premom app to see if that helps. I think if I'm not pregnant by the end of this year I'm going to have to sadly call it a day xx

OP posts:
CatiaR · 31/07/2023 09:42

@thejollytrolleydolly fingers crossed for you too! hopefully the doctor can help you out

I'm going to do opks and BBT this month, also got the premom app last week, it has been way more accurate my iphone's health app already without even doing opk and bbt, I didn't stand a chance last month following my iphone's app, it was way off - lesson learnt!

gonna take this month as learning and see how it goes 😃

thejollytrolleydolly · 31/07/2023 09:45

@CatiaR good idea. I never even thought of using my phones health app lol! I've been using flo for years and it's normally pretty accurate but I really want to pinpoint my ovulation so hopefully the strips will give us a better idea. They are giving me a big fat 0 at the minute with regards to LH which is normal 2 days after AF but my cervix is already so high and soft I just don't know what to think! Maybe I'm an early ovulator 😂 I swear I'm going to hold out until at least 12dpo this month to test because I wasted so many tests last month it was so silly xx

OP posts:
CatiaR · 31/07/2023 09:59

@thejollytrolleydolly I never really thought of these apps at all, only used the phone one to try and see when AF would come but its not very good at even doing that, now that I look back at it.

I looked at flo but wanted something free so premom seems to be decent for now even without testing anything yet.

with my cervix I only recently started checking and have no clue, it always feels high so I'm convinced I must not be checking it right, won't worry about that right now.

wasted too many tests as well! very annoying considering I was totally out this month and didn't know! and the disappointment of BFNs all the time is terrible I'd rather push myself to wait.

thejollytrolleydolly · 31/07/2023 10:04

@CatiaR same! I feel like I have been symptom spotting too much and when I look back at when I have been pregnant I've not really had any symptoms at all!! Flo is free btw you just pay if you want to go premium just like premom. Unless they have changed that now? Xx

CatiaR · 31/07/2023 10:07

@thejollytrolleydolly I couldn't get through having to sign up for a trial so gave up! might try and take a look later again

CatiaR · 31/07/2023 10:08

yeah I normally don't have PMS which threw me off but I will forget all about that and just live my life otherwise we will go crazy!

It didn't help that currently I am not busy in work at all lol
