2DPO

[Longtobe2023]

Hi everyone!! Currently on the dreaded TWW and could do with some company to stop me obsessing ha!

I feel like this month I’m in with a chance since my MMC in June! I’ve noticed lots of watery CM over the weekend, along with pain in my left boob and then positive OPK followed by a large spike in temp so fingers crossed my ovulation is back on track!

I would love to hear about others symptoms around implantation up till your BFP :)

@mushroomushroom I haven’t stopped having the runs since my first faint positive at 8DPO, it’s getting worse now at 4W 🤣

@lab19 I played around with your test in Lightroom with the contrast I use on my early tests and I think I see the line! I’ll post your picture with the contrasts below x

AF has arrived 😔 good luck to everyone ✨ I hope you get your BFPs soon

That's amazing @LacedBouquet I will definitely keep you updated xxx

That's a shame @ReginaPhalange12 but next cycle will hopefully be your one 🤞🏻 xx

@ReginaPhalange12 sending you all the baby dust for your next cycle ✨ I’m only 2 days off my AF and was testing negative Saturday so going to pick another 2 pack up tonight. I’m not feeling hopeful, no tender boobs or retching like last time. All I seen to have at the minute is the same as you @mushroomushroom with the constipation one day then the runs the next few, it’s like a vicious circle with my belly problems this cycle! I’m eating well, barely any caffeine and no alcohol so I’m stunned as to why it’s happening! 10Dpo today so not out just yet but certainly not feeling hopeful!

the only positive to AF arriving this month is I have a holiday abroad on the 16th September so Atleast I’ll be able to have my fair share of tipples by the pool lol x

Thank you @Longtobe2023 & @BrwnX best of luck to you both.

I've got cramps 😪 AF due in 6 days, I think it will be a no for me this cycle. Lots of luck to everyone else

Ahh thanks for doing that @LacedBouquet

I couldn't resist and have done another one this afternoon 🙈
Feel like this is a faint though... came up really quick. what do you guys think?
Although I did a boots early and there's nothing on that 🤪

I can definitely see it today! Remind me how many DPO are you today? My progression lines are below for you with two different types of cheapies, the number is how many DPO I was xx

Another bloody bfn for me this evening. This afternoon I had pink/dark brown discharge, only once when I wiped, but it was quite a lot, although none after that. Im hoping it might have been implantation bleeding but im not particularly hopeful.

Will keep yous posted, although I suspect I will be getting AF in due course!

@LacedBouquet thanks for putting up photos of progression on the cheapies! Also, congrats!! 🤗

It looks like the easy@home ones are more sensitive than the Premom ones? Unfortunate as I've got two boxes of the Premom ones coming tomorrow 😂 I have both but I only get the easy@home ones when I order the big pack of ovulation tests.

@mushroomushroom oh No hoping just implantation bleeding for you! 🙏 I had light pink/ burgundy/ brown for three days!

So the ones in pink are actually wondfo and they’re super sensitive! However the premoms are actually better because wondfo can detect vvvvvvfl and low HCG so last month I had vvvvfl on wondfo but never on Premom and it was a chemical. Whereas if you get a vfl on a Premom then I think it’s more likely it’ll turn into a BFP 😊

@ReginaPhalange12 I’m with you, periods here with a vengeance! Hope it happens for you next month x

I have felt so so nauseated since yesterday, even throughout the night so hardly slept 😫 but BFN this morning. Think I'm out this cycle also as I'm 12dpo today xx

@BrwnX which tests are you using? I still think it's really possible to test negative at this point but ultimately end up with a BFP. I've definitely read posts where people didn't test positive until 21 dpo.

Oh sorry to hear that @Blueskies4 but sending lots of hope for next month .

@Knewlife do you think? I really am still trying to hold out hope 🥺
I am just using the cheap sticks from Boots but tbh I don't really like using any tests with lines as I think you just constantly look for the lines or a "shadow" 🙊
Last time I fell pregnant I just used the CB 6 days early response one so if my AF doesn't come I might just use that and then know for certain xx

I'm just really confused. I have 2 different period tracker apps - one says I'm 9dpo today the other says 11dpo. I didn't test yesterday but tested this am and still got the second line but it did take a while to appear but still within 5 minutes.

My period was also 7 days late last cycle and I was definitely not pg. I'm usually really regular so wonder whether this has affected how early in my cycle I ovulated this time? I didn't use OPKs consistently as was not planning to track this cycle.

Randomly burst into tears at work yesterday which is not like me. But I also rationally know how unlikely it is to have big symptoms this early

Maybe you ovulated sooner than you thought? @Knewlife

@Knewlife Thats definitely a positive! I’d say 10-11DPO for that one. And on the cheapies it can take 5 mins or so for the lines to appear so do not worry about that, you don’t get evaps. If it was a clear blue test you had then we could question it but that’s a nice positive you have there congratulations mama!

@BrwnX Your symptoms sound super promising! Remember, if you search when implantation happens online, every single website will tell you 6-12 days after ovulation.
HCG then takes at least 3 days from implantation to get to a level where it’s detected. I bet if you used one of the strip cheapies like a wondfo you’d maybe be able to see a line. I’m still super hopeful for you!

Thanks @LacedBouquet I'm definitely not testing until after Friday 😅 we go to Tenerife on Sunday. If I get a BGN I'm just going to go and try enjoy my holiday xx

@BrwnX absolutely, treat yourself if BFN and have those sunny cocktails 🍹

Think I will 🙈 @LacedBouquet my brain has been constant since my MC. Constantly thinking about ovulation, ovulation testing and now thinking about BFN's/BFP's 😫😫 just want to switch my brain off haha xx

@BrwnX I totally understand! I had my first early loss 2 weeks before my wedding in June and I then lost that special excitement leading up to the wedding. I went away for a month in July for my honeymoon and all I could think about the whole time was when I was ovulating and if I can get pregnant again.
And even now having a BFP, the worry doesn’t stop. My boobs aren’t sore or bigger so it’s sent me into a downwards paranoid spiral, I’m checking to see if I’m bleeding every 10 minutes and spending my life on these forums looking for answers 🙈

ttc & pregnancy is not an easy ride for sure!
But definitely if it is a BFN this time, I’m so hopeful that you can just take a few weeks off in Tenerife and enjoy yourself xx

Thanks - I didn't know that re. lack of evap lines @LacedBouquet and congrats on your BFP and really hope things keep progressing 🙏🏼

I realise how insensitive it sounds to be so worried about early positives but I had the same really early symptoms and positive test 8dpo with my last pregnancy which turned out to be a molar and I wasn't able to ttc for 18 months after with all the chemo involved so I'm clearly not as over that trauma as I thought.

With all of my precious pregnancies (ectopic, MMC then healthy full term) I didn't test until missed period so have no idea whether I'm just someone who is very sensitive to hcg. I've got tingly boobs today too.

I totally feel the anxiety at the BFP but we just have to be hopeful that things will work out.

Aw I'm so sorry to hear that @LacedBouquet that must have been a really tough time for you 😢 I think TTC and everything that comes along with it is so so difficult. I'm thinking of going back for some counselling. I do have a history of anxiety/depression and I just don't want to go back to where I was 2 years ago.

I think I need to just go and enjoy this holiday as you say.

I also went to the toilet their and had this on my liner again ..
