@thejollytrolleydolly Let's hope the back pain is a positive! Do people really get positives at 7dpo? I thought no one would get a positive before 10dpo. I might have to start testing super soon if it's 7 😛

thejollytrolleydolly · 14/07/2023 17:01

@Myna13 yeah they do! Crazy! I think I'll do a cheapie on day 7,8,9,10 then my early test 11 see what happens. I've got a good mixture of tests to keep me going 😂 x

You're reading my mind sister @thejollytrolleydolly
I've got some cheapies and some tests. I thought I'd do the cheapies day 9-14. But I might start on 7 instead. That's Sunday!!!

thejollytrolleydolly · 14/07/2023 18:18

@Myna13 do it 😂 add a bit of spice into your morning and who knows... you could get a nice surprise! X

@thejollytrolleydolly I'm going to attempt waiting until Monday morning, but if I end up testing on Sunday I'll keep you posted 😋

thejollytrolleydolly · 14/07/2023 18:33

@Myna13 ok cool! I think I'm going to test Monday too as that will be around 7dpo for me. I'll see where my cervix is over the next few days too as if it drops down and goes hard I'll know I'm out x

Myna13 · 14/07/2023 18:36

@thejollytrolleydolly good luck! Keep us posted. Hopefully, this is the month for you 😋

thejollytrolleydolly · 14/07/2023 18:48

@Myna13 and you! I'm hoping to see a load of BFP's on this thread 🥰 I'll be so happy for everyone 😊 x

Id like to join please! Like @MaddKatt91 I think I ovulated around the 11th. I'm not an early tester though so you might all shun me as a right weirdo! 😬🙈
Cycle 3 for #2 and desperate for this to be our month 🤞🤞🤞 had a weird shorter cycle last month though so I'm not confident that my app is even predicting my dates right. I hope not anyway because it was have my TWW as only an 11dayW. And that just doesn't strike me as long enough to get a proper lining/implantation etc?
I look forward to watching all of your early testing and hope you all get BFPs whilst I'm still sitting here quietly waiting! Xx

Hi. Supposed to be 2DPO and have the worst cramps ever. Lower back pain and what feels like a knife twisting around my lower abdomen. Regular periods 28 day cycles and not even my periods get this painful. Anyone experienced similar? 🥺 I worry about Endo 🥺 I also only have 1 Fallopian tube.

Myna13 · 14/07/2023 19:04

Welcome to the group @Bubblesandtroubles and @pinkmarshmalloww
@Bubblesandtroubles you can share some of your sensible testing habits with us crazy early testers 😂
@pinkmarshmalloww I unfortunately don't have any advice for you. I had a little cramping at 2dpo but nothing too intense and I don't know if it means anything yet.
Wishing you both luck this month! Hopefully we will some some BFPs ❤️

thejollytrolleydolly · 14/07/2023 19:49

Hey @Bubblesandtroubles you have fantastic will power! I'm so so impatient!! You can laugh at us testing too early 😊

@pinkmarshmalloww I've had bad back pain today almost like AF pain and had cramps all throughout my ov period this time round. I don't know if i noticed them because I'm so in tune with my body at the minute but I haven't noticed them before. I'm 3dpo today so more or less the same 😊 x

MaddKatt91 · 14/07/2023 20:15

Hey all! Thanks for the welcome 😊. I see alot of you guys saying you are feeling all kinds of symptoms. At the minute I don't really feel anything, however last month I had all sort of symptoms and had a chemical... so maybe not feeling anything is a good sign 😅.

Have many of you guys have used the 6 day early tests? Do you find them reliable?

Myna13 · 14/07/2023 20:38

@MaddKatt91 don't let our symptoms bum you out. Some people don't feel anything!
I unfortunately don't have any test recommendations, but waiting to see if anyone else has any!

thejollytrolleydolly · 15/07/2023 06:00

@MaddKatt91 don't worry, if I wasn't so in tune with my body I wouldn't notice my symptoms either! I've been pregnant a total of 3 times in my life (one has stuck) and each time my symptoms have been so subtle the first time I didn't even notice them at all! X

@Myna13 I really like the clear blue digital 6 days early test. I used it the day before my period was due last time and it came up a very clear "pregnant" this was after having a total squinter on a normal clear blue the day before. X

Morning ladies. Hope the tww is going ok for everyone! Did another cheapie early test today and negative again but feeling more positive about it today (thanks for your message yesterday @Myna13 ). It's not over til AF sings and then there's always next month, just frustrating when you feel like you've done everything right this time but to be fair we haven't tried ovulation tests yet and I'm not yet 4months off the pill so that's something to try next time. I had a fair bit of discomfort what I think was about 3 or 4dpo onwards in my lower and right abdo so not sure what that was - I'd thought maybe implantation but obvs not does anyone else get this on a negative cycle? Sending love and baby dust to you all, can't wait to hopefully see some bfps from the early testing club!

Myna13 · 15/07/2023 08:23

@thejollytrolleydolly thanks for the recommendation! I'll try and get my hands on some today!
@GHJ I woke up, read your message and then went straight in to take a test even though I was planning on waiting a little longer. BFN. But what else can you expect at 6dpo 😂 I'm less anxious now though because I know I can try again tomorrow! It's not over until AF comes.

thejollytrolleydolly · 15/07/2023 10:22

@Myna13 @GHJ absolutely! Don't count it out until AF arrives! My clear blue was a total squinter last time the day before AF was due so I would have never gotten a positive any time before that.

I think I'm about 4dpo today. Cervix seems even higher and still soft so that's a good sign to me. I also have a metallic taste in my mouth today like licking a battery. Let the symptom spotting begin!!!

@GHJ what day are you on? Xx

OP posts:
Myna13 · 15/07/2023 10:26

@thejollytrolleydolly definitely not ready to give up until AF arrived.
Jumping on the symptom spotting bandwagon - I woke up around midnight cravings cucumber and carrots, had a snack and went back to sleep. And I've had creamy/milky CM. I usually don't have any CM between ovulation & AF.
I hope our symptoms mean a BFP is on the way, and it isn't just our minds playing naughty tricks 😂

thejollytrolleydolly · 15/07/2023 10:28

@Myna13 sounds good to me! I woke up twice last night but that was mainly to do with my toddler having VERY noisy dreams 😂 I feel full of energy today which is what I think I felt last time before the anxiety day hit 😂 not looking forward to that again x

OP posts:
Myna13 · 15/07/2023 10:29

@thejollytrolleydolly aww! I'm glad you're full of energy today.
Feel free to message on here when the anxiety hits and we'll get through it together no matter the outcome!
Sending love and hugs 🤗

thejollytrolleydolly · 15/07/2023 10:32

@Myna13 aw thank you! It's just a surge in hormone I think that causes it but it makes me feel really weird for a day or 2 then it goes away! I end up being a hermit and not speaking to anyone because everything suddenly feels overwhelming it's such a strange experience! It's jive to have people to talk to though who are going through the same thing as you 🥰🥰 x

OP posts:
Myna13 · 15/07/2023 10:36

@thejollytrolleydolly silly hormones!
My husband has been so supportive with the changes in my mood. He's given me 5 "grumpus cards" that I can use between now and when AF is meant to arrive if I just want to be left alone 😂
It's definitely nice to have other ladies going through the exact same thing to talk to though. Because while my husband is being so understanding and supportive, he can't fully understand me the way we can understand each other 😅

thejollytrolleydolly · 15/07/2023 10:41

@Myna13 aww that's so sweet he sounds like a good egg 😊 yeah my partner will listen to a certain extent and then gets lost so it's always good to have the girls to offload to xx
