Hi everyone 🤍

I believe I am either 10dpo 11dpo going by then I received my peak Smiley face OPK,

I guess the purpose of this post is for some support really as I know I will never know for sure until AF arrives.. if that happens!

I tested with first response at 9dpo and today BFN.

I track my cycles & PMS symptoms and almost EVERY single month since January I am emotional , spotty and moody I can always tell when my period is coming a week before because I add this to my calendar to remind myself I don't hate my life I'm just due on 🤣🤍 I'm not normally crampy or have sore breasts until maybe day before af.

This cycle has been SO bizzare because I haven't felt any of that. Since 7dpo I've had lots of CM which I've read is normal but that doesn't seem to be going. I've had really sore tingly breasts all week , lots of cramps and twinges that are really noticeable. No pre- period blues it's SO different!

Saturday the cramps were so bad I couldn't stand I had to sit down , yesterday I was SO sure AF was here and even got some tampons ( I didn't come on). Today again I was so sure AF was here but again nothing. I've been pregnant twice before and I know this feeling , the feeling of pressure in my uterus and bubbling feeling.

I know I'm probably clutching at straws but I've had vivid dreams for the last 4 days 🤣.

I never normally experience any kind of cramps like this without af shortly following and definitely not a week before!

With my daughter 6 years ago I got a BFP at 9dpo so I feel like if I was pregnant surely it would show by now but I cannot shake the way that I am feeling and I'm so shocked every time I see BFN !

I guess I'm just asking if anyone has ever had a bfp later , I just have this feeling that I am but tests are telling me I'm not !

The latest I could be due AF is Thursday or Friday.

Any stories or experiences would really help the best 3 days go a lot faster 🤍🤣

Thank you xx

Yeup! Been there maaaaany times. Every cycle is different. In my first pregnancy I had no bubbling, tugging, pulling or anything like that, I just felt like AF was going to come. It did about 3 days later, that was a chemical.

In my second pregnancy I had pulling, tugging and a bit of prickling, sadly, that, too, ended in a chemical.

All of these symptoms are the same as that of PMS in my experience and the only way to know is to see if AF comes, and if it doesn't, then test.

Thank you so much for getting back to me , I'm one day late but still BFN - such a shame xxx

Yep this resonates with me! I've been having the weirdest dreams this TWW and am 10dpo and tested on a cheapie - bfn.
Now I know it's only 10dpo and lots of people implant then and so nothing would show, but I've previously had a vfl on these tests with other pregnancies at 10dpo (1 baby, 1 MMC) so I really feel like af will come Monday.
If I could just stop having the vivid dreams now please!

Yes this is exactly how I feel honestly if I didn't have this constant heavy ball feeling in my uterus I would have just thought its AF on the way ! I think what are the chances that I just experience this ODD symptom for the first time in a whole year if tracking cycles the one cycle we TTC 🤣🤍 for me personally it's been hard because I had early BFPs so hearing that some people got them really late is comforting.

It's not that I'm in denial because I really wanted it this month, I did but I am positive about it happening when it happens but I swear I am feeling SO pregnant and when you've been pregnant and carried before and know the feelings it's SO hard to shake.

I am no longer testing , I'll wait until I'm 7 days late to test again. I'm already 1 day late now so if AF comes then I have my answer I guess how long have you been trying ? Xx
