Hello! Currently 8dpo and had cramping and backache 5 and 6 dpo and it started to stop on 7dpo. I'm getting the odd tingle in my boobs and down there but nothing long lasting. I think I've been a bit more tired but I'm often tired lol! I don't bbt, but I keep an eye on my resting heart rate which doesn't normally drop till my period starts. But it's dropped today and yesterday. Have been having white cm amd feeling very wet. Pdg dipped at 6dpo but back up for the last 2 days. Do you think I'm out??

Oh good it's not just me then lol. I've been furiously googling as one of my boobs doesn't seem as swollen anymore. I have gone mad! 🙈 Yeah I feel like everyone finds it so much easier. I have one friend who is a rollercoaster of a journey trying to conceive. I really feel for her and her partner. I hope the anxiousness does subside for us. Ooh a mouse how delightful lol! Maybe kitty sensed you deserved a treat. Really hoping I'm not too tired tomorrow. Have switched to decaff but need one cheeky coffee. I could probably pee but holding it till I get up now! I really hope this is a lucky thread x

Aww don't be discouraged, if you are still not due AF yet you aren't out 😁 I'll be back in a mo to reply to previous message just sorting a few things x

Prettything · 19/10/2023 11:10

I'm 9dpo today had bad nausea since 6/7dpo I've woken in the night to wee for the past 2 nights which is exactly what happened last time I was pregnant! My boobs are starting to get sore and I've got terrible indigestion and lower abdo cramps like I feel like af on way...did some tests today and pretty sure they're negative I've ordered more to do tomorrow! Fingers crossed for everyone 🙏 😊

Prettything · 19/10/2023 11:12

For sure see a line there so hopeful for you!!

DarkCrystal85 · 19/10/2023 11:46

Was staring at this from 30 seconds after dipping it this morning till about now. My wife can see it too in person 🥴 (photo taken about 3 min mark)

Thankyou @Prettything I'm keeping everything crossed and really hope this is your month too, I'm also 9dpo today. Those do sound like familiar feelings, I seem to have it all too at the moment but my boobs are the worst, it's like I'm carrying weights with them 🙈

@Babiesforme I know the first response get a good name but I've seen so many people get positives on internet cheapies and remain negative on FR for several more days, don't give up just yet, you don't know what your body could be doing, you still have time before af? How many dpo are you now? I have faith this is a lucky thread 😁

Those are definitely positive!

This is my clear blue it's not very good so I'm calling it a negative but can't wait for more tests to come tomorrow to hopefully get an answer!

I don't know if it's my line eyes talking but I do feel like a see a line on your test. I can't wait for you to get more tests either haha.

Yes mine do look like they are going in the right direction, less that 12 hours since my previous test that I had to edit to see on the phone. No editing was done with this one. I'm not allowing myself to feel too much excitement yet as still have a couple days before due on and with my history of chemicals I'm quite nervous but something does feel different this time I feel more like I did when I was pregnant in December to the chemical losses. The house will be spotless as now am trying to keep my mind occupied haha. I know I will be much more anxious and probably have a cry for my loss of the tests get loads darker and I don't get AF. Eeeeeeek 🥴😂

Babiesforme · 19/10/2023 14:39

@DarkCrystal85 This is exciting! I know you don't want to get excited which I totally get. So you be calm and collected and I'll be excited for you! 😊 x

Thankyou @Babiesforme
It's still very faint but definitely there. I keep going back to check I wasn't imagining things and if anything it's actually easier to see 🥴 I am not imagining things haha. Will keep testing and fingers crossed it doesn't turn into a chemical again, my booooobies though 🙈 feel like I'm dragging them along the floor. I really hope we all get our positives in this thread. I'm shocked as I say it wasn't till like day 12 I got a faint positive last time. ..🤔 there better only be 1, we have a small house haha

I think I might be out :-( the spotting and cramping hit worse yesterday evening, so I am pretty sure it’s going into AF soon. Was feeling emotional, so DH got worried. Eventually I said I had cramps and probably going into AF , he looked so disappointed so I knew he had been hoping too and told him all. We’ll try again… we will get there.
Today strangely still little spotting and no more cramps so something inside me wants to start hoping again that it was implantation. Probably not though. Should know by Saturday.
I am trying not to test for now.

DarkCrystal85 · 19/10/2023 16:09

It's so hard @Skymningen to not hold on to hope. I had a tiny bit of blood when I wiped 3 days ago and then it stopped but the cramps I had through early pregnancy too. Not out till AF fully turns up x

ABLOSSOM · 19/10/2023 17:47

@Babiesforme how many DPO are you? When is AF due? Remember we aren't out until AF appears. I'm due on Sunday but will get spotting Saturday... BBT did a rise the last few days but that's normal and mine doesn't drop until day before AF. Fingers crossed!!

@DarkCrystal85 congratulations I really hope this sticks for you 🥰🥰 I hope we all get our BFP's although I am doubtful for myself.

@Prettything I feel like there may be something, but I would hate to get anyone's hopes up! When is AF due?

@Skymningen sorry to hear that! I'm feeling the same I'm having my usual pre AF cramps just slightly earlier.

I'm very bloated today and had some pre period cramps. My boobs feel fine which makes me think I'm out as I'm sure they're a clear giveaway! However, I saw a TikTok yesterday which said I would find out I'm pregnant Friday (I know it sounds ridiculous) but somethings telling me to test anyway! I just really really wanted it to be this month

Prettything · 19/10/2023 18:03

@ABLOSSOM I am due on Sunday, I'm going to do another one tomorrow, last time I waited until af was late but I've been so ill this week I kind of need to know ASAP either way lol

ABLOSSOM · 20/10/2023 07:09

Tested this morning 12DPO and BFN. My BBT graph is starting to go down too so AF will be arriving Sunday!

Skymningen · 20/10/2023 08:13

I am definitely out, AF made an early entrance tonight. Next month is out because DH won’t be around at the critical times. So it’s going to be a long break for me.

DarkCrystal85 · 20/10/2023 12:47

Aww bless you both sorry. I hope you get the bfp when you next try xxx

I'm mentally all over the place this morning due to lines having progressed much further than they have done for the last 4 chemical losses so I'm keeping everything crossed this is it now. I've had a little cry and a moment of excitement. I hope this is my rainbow baby. Still can't believe I didn't get a positive until so much later on in December so just shows no 2 are alike. I've attached a pic below for those ready to give up at day 8 of my tests in December when I was ready to throw in the towel xx the single test is this mornings on day 10 of this current cycle.

So so happy for you! @DarkCrystal85 🤗 This really made me smile today x

Sorry to hear af showed @Skymningen As desperate as I am to have a child I found having a break beneficial earlier this year. Fingers crossed you get a Christmas bfp

@ABLOSSOM I'm due on Sunday same as you and @Prettything ! Just tested again and bfn. Will try and hold off and see what Sunday brings. Only have 2 tests left anyway!
Sending you all big hugs x

So it seems it is possible to have morning sickness from 7dpo as I'm pretty sure these are positive all be it faint...10dpo just taken now I'm so confused as to how I can have been so ill so early but only just now get a faint positive 😅

I miscarried last month and haven't even had a period yet! I'm not hopeful this one will stick so I'm not getting excited yet..

How's everyone getting on. I think I can maybe admit I may just be pregnant now 🙈

Hoping it sticks and everyone else with a positive I'm hoping for sticky bean babies 🤞🤞🤞

Everyone still testing remember you aren't out till the fat lady sings... Aka AF xx

@DarkCrystal85 @Prettything congratulations to you both I am so happy you got your BFP's and I hope they stick 🩷 did you do anything differently this time? I'm torn between going for preseed again and getting OH vitamins or taking a step back and not testing LH etc....

AF due tomorrow and I think she is coming as I keep testing negative and 13DPO!

DarkCrystal85 · 21/10/2023 15:04

I have been on vitamin d for 6 weeks and I always track with LH sticks, i think for us the difference was the donor came here and did the donation which meant we were able to do the insemination and me then stay stationary and then I fell asleep, usually we either have to drive back with it or do donation at theirs meaning I'm then sat upright on the drive home. I also have 2 rose quartz mothering crystals and this month I held them both on my tum after the insemination... Felt like some kinda voodoo crazy lady but I just thought anything that may help haha. As soon as I got the first hint of a line I started taking 75mg aspirin as per the gynecologist instructions and I also think that this month I was so busy (kids birthday party, then birthday, then I was on BBC news 🙈, then had my sister's birthday and had a cold from hell) so I think not thinking about it till my boobs started hurting loads and I tested has helped too. I'm still anxious that I will come on in 2 days but fingers crossed it stays away and doesn't turn into my 5th chemical loss since 12 week loss. I'm trying really hard to remain positive, cautious but optimistic x I really hope everything falls in the right place for you but I'd continue with the LH tests, if anything to pin point when due on x

DarkCrystal85 · 21/10/2023 15:45

I also had a chemical last cycle... I don't know if the myth is true about being more fertile 🤔

Babiesforme · 22/10/2023 18:59

@DarkCrystal85 How are you doing? And what were you doing on the beeb??
AF came today. There's a bit of relief that I know now and it's onto the next cycle. Although thinking we'll just take it easy for the rest of the year, try to relax and I can enjoy some wine and cheese at Christmas 🤣. Where did you get your crystals from?

@ABLOSSOM @Skymningen @Prettything How are you all getting on?
