1DPO

[MrsL2019]

Im offically 1dpo! Does anyone want to join me in the agonising TWW?!

@MrsL2019 fingers crossed for you! @BatildaB I’m 9/10 DPO as well I think. Only symptoms are sore nipples but also get that with PMS so who knows. Just had a small spiral wondering if a friend is mad at me which is also a Pms symptom. 😂 I would have loved to have conceived this month as would have meant I might have shared a birthday month with DC!

@BatildaB are you testing every day with cheapy strip tests?

@Sconehenge PMS and pregnancy symptoms can be so similar cant they! Why wasnt it made easy that these are PMS then something completelty different is pregnancy🤣

I plan on testing tomorrow morning🤞 im going to pee in a cup and if theres no blood when i wipe ill dip a cheap test in. I feel so nervous

@MrsL2019 I’m testing twice a day with cheapies now. In a way it takes the pressure off any single test but then I do start staring at them too hard. Good luck tomorrow morning!

@Sconehenge yeah i’ve been tricked so many times by pms symptoms, the more attention you pay the more you find..

BFN this morning and spotting has started heavier again. My app predicted my period wrong this month! Heres to next month instead

@MrsL2019 Apps never give me an accurate prediction, so frustrating. Are you feeling ok about it and ready for another round?

I went to bed last night so sure I’d wake up to at least a faint line but stark BFN again this morning, and temp hovering at same place not rising. Wondering if all my symptoms are psychosomatic now. Current possible symptoms/straws to grasp at: I had itchy breasts last might, woke up very sad and annoyed from a dream that my partner wouldn’t share his iced doughnuts with sprinkles, and I have a taste of blood in my mouth. I also have a lymph node on one side of my neck that’s suddenly huge and uncomfortable which the internet doesn’t seem to think is a sign but which is a bit weird. On the other hand I have very AF like feelings beginning in my abdomen.

@MrsL2019 AF just arrived one day early so I am out too! Good luck to both of us for December - at least if are successful next cycle then we’ll know by Christmas and be able to either have a Xmas present or drink our sorrows away! Next up will be Leo/Virgo babies 🙈

@BatildaB @Sconehenge thank you! I hope you are both doing okay and no signs of AF yet!

When do you class your AF as starting for the 1st cycle day? Do you do it from when you start to spot (if you do spot) or from your first day of full flow? I think this is where my app is getting confused. I dont know if im even in a new cycle yet or not!

@MrsL2019 thanks, no AF but also still BFNs; am starting to give up hope! I’m away from home for two nights now and I’m not going to test because if I get a bfp I want to be able to tell my partner immediately and face to face. Haven’t even brought my thermometer!

Are you still stuck with annoying ambiguities spotting? I would count from first need to use tampon/pad/mooncup, but I don’t know what’s official!

Hi ladies how's it going? Any bfps yet? Pink when I wipe a couple of times today, think it's probably too late for implantation so maybe af thinking about dropping in. Or random bleeding who knows. If it is AF though I will be a little pleased as means a more normal cycle this time, I'm cd30 thereabouts today so better than my 60-65 day cycles of late, moving the right direction. Would obviously prefer bfp though!

@BatildaB when is AF due again?

I dont know if its just classed as a light period, it reaches a pad a little bit, but everytime i wipe there is a lot and red. So im swaying to today being CD1 maybe

@GHJ how many dpo are you now? Do you usually spot before AF?

@MrsL2019 supposedly 12dpo today. I have had some spotting pre af the last few cycles, I've also had occasional mid cycle spotting before too so who knows! It's very much pink rather than red currently. I think cd1 is classed as first day of full flow as some people spot for several days before.

@MrsL2019 My app says I have another 5 days, but I don’t know why because usually it would be in the next three. Have you got resolution yet or still not clear?

@GHJ pink is better than red right? Good to have the silver lining of a good cycle length if it is AF. I have the opposite issue, I’m happy if I get past 25 days so it feels like my body has to cram a lot of stages in fast to get it all done.

Today I have no information to turn to - no tests, no thermometer, and I forgot to bring my watch charger so not even heart rate (although rose again yesterday). So my symptom spotting is in overdrive. I have two mouth ulcers and quite sore breasts, so am putting those into the hopeful column at least until I test again tomorrow afternoon. 🙃

@GHJ i hope the spotting is implantation for you🤞

@BatildaB sore boobs is deffo a good sign!! I know some people get them with AF but i never have!

Im saying CD1 was yesterday, i guess in reality it doesnt really matter if its out by 1 day, i use ovulation tests to know my peak etc anyway!

@MrsL2019 @BatildaB definitely AF here unfortunately so I'm out for this one but at least cycle length improved this time. Feel quite defeated with it as honestly thought this was the one but heyho onwards and upwards. Had the best holiday though.

My partner thinks I’m hallucinating, but I’m 100% sure this is a line? I only have one test left, so annoyed at myself for using them all up from 8dpo! Going to try and save it at least till tomorrow morning.

@BatildaB I definitely see a line, if it appeared within the timeframe I'd say it's a positive, it has colour. Looking forward to hearing your next test to confirm! Tentatively congratulations!!!

@GHJ thanks, it wasn’t immediate and i didn’t have a timer but it wasn’t ages. So nervous! Will use the last one more carefully with a timer and FMU tomorrow..

@BatildaB absolutely a line there!!!! How exciting, ill save my congratulations for another test just incase. I dont want to jynx anything!

@BatildaB any update? Is the line getting stronger?🤞

@MrsL2019 it was there and slightly stronger but still faint yesterday and now I’m out of tests! I had a very spendy month so now have to wait till payday on Tuesday to buy more. I don’t want to get too excited as AF would barely be due yet. But my temp is going up still and various symptoms are ongoing so am cautiously optimistic that it’s really happening!

Hiya all I'm wondering I could join this thread AF arrived yesterday

@BatildaB how exciting, keeping everything crossed for you🤞

@Tiffany88 of course! Im CD7 so there isnt much between our cycles. Im predicted to ovulate 6th Dec. Im feeling the pressure this month as this cycle marks the cycle i fell pregnant with my girl!

Negative on a clear blue digital at 17dpo/ 2-4 days late, so I guess was a chemical ☹️

@BatildaB i know digitals require more hcg! If AF isnt here and you get positives on normal tests i wouldnt count yourself out yet! Keeping everything crossed for you

@MrsL2019 Thanks but AF was just waiting for me to spend £20 on tests and appeared literally five minutes later! I had kind of lost hope so am just glad to have resolution at this stage and be onto the next cycle. Feel like it’s good to know we can get that far, and I also assume the fact I had some definite symptoms is probably a good sign hormones-wise and that it just wasn’t viable. Hope you have good luck this cycle! Are you doing anything different?
