Hi

just wondering if anyone else is in limbo land? I am 4 DPO and been having some symptoms, tender boobs, nausea, cramping but obviously to early to test .

Just wondered if anyone in the same situation

I know @Newmumwales it’s so similar why can’t we have at least one symptom that’s clear pregnancy and not PMS. I’ve never really paid attention to my discharge if I’m honest so I don’t know what’s normal for the pre AF . Does it mean your fertile window works out Christmas new year time… could be a very jolly time of year for you DTD… a lot of people fall pregnant as they relax , have a few drinks and have more humpy dumpy 😆

Hey @Mumma8538 , I can see something there! Are you going to take another test tomorrow morning? Fingers crossed for you x

I also did one this morning 10DPO (natturally woke up an hour early again), got BFN! Will continue having some hope right up until AF. But like I said before, will be eating a big fat cake in celebration of getting a period 🤣

Mumma8538 · 13/12/2023 21:21

Hey @Soulsta I want to say I will wait a few days but have sneaky suspicion I will be up testing.

what is with these early starts 🥱 are you still tracking your BBT? How’s that looking?

hope you have a big fat cake with AF arrival or BFP with an extra slice!

Soulsta · 14/12/2023 05:48

@Mumma8538 still BBT tracking, had a big drop this morning as ended up waking 2hrs earlier. According to a BBT adjuster, my temp would've been in the normal upper range, if I took it normal time. Who knows.

Yes do let us know of next test x

Mumma8538 · 14/12/2023 06:44

Morning @Soulsta could it not be the implantation dip you spoke of or have you been passed that ?

did a test this morning BFN- so think I’m out.. either CP or that was a evap line yeaterday. I’ll know for sure Sunday when AF arrives

Opened up the fridge this morning and coughed and gagged at smell of normal food so I did a test 9DPO and BFN. For sure can enjoy Christmas of AF arrives next week and we can all get busy DTD Christmas. My fertile window is Christmas up until New Year’s Eve day

Soulsta · 14/12/2023 08:58

@Mumma8538 still some time before completely ruling BFP out. I've read a number of posts here where women got BFN on 9/10/11 and 12DPO, but on 14th/AF or after got positives. Let's stay hopefully until then 🤞

Mumma8538 · 14/12/2023 09:03

The mind truly boggles me in regards to symptoms , could it be the older we get the body wants to reproduce so gives them off like I want to be reproducing?! 🤢 has it put you off eating today @Newmumwales it will be a busy Christmas for us!

that is true @Soulsta my last pregnancy I didn’t get a BFP until the day after my AF was due or might of been 2 , I know it wasn’t before for sure !

I did a test last night as I've been feeling so off and got a vvfl, so did two more and they were both the same. Took another two tests this morning and they are definitely positive! Just hoping it sticks! 🤞🏻🥰

I'm 10DPO today

elleaddams · 14/12/2023 10:22

I thought I was 7DPO but just realised I'm actually 8DPO. I really want to do a test but I'm trying to hold off best I can

Mumma8538 · 14/12/2023 11:42

Oh wow @Karinx that’s great news!! Hope it’s a sticky one… and an early showing one. Do you keep testing to see if they get stronger? I’m very pleased for you!

@elleaddams Maybe a few more days and then test ! Have you any symptoms ?

OP posts:
elleaddams · 14/12/2023 11:50

@Mumma8538 I have been moody earlier than usual and really teary. I also have had a really heightened sense of smell which I've had during OV before but never this late in the month. My boobs are a little sore but I get sore boobs sometimes anyway

Karinx · 14/12/2023 12:38

@Mumma8538 thank you! I will probably keep testing until I get a dye stealer just for peace of mind 😅

Mumma8538 · 14/12/2023 16:15

I’m very irritable so makes me think AF is coming for sure ! @elleaddams why does our body confuse us like this!

@Karinx what’s a due stealer ? Sorry I’m new to all this talk ! Remind me again how long have you been ttc and which baby is it?

OP posts:
PinkFlamingo888 · 14/12/2023 16:57

Tested this morning and it was a BFN 😭😭 I did not take it well but onwards and upwards! AF not due until Monday but I had done an ultra early test and I’m quite confident it was right. Bring on the Christmas booze I suppose!

Newmumwales · 14/12/2023 17:35

@Karinx congratulations lovely!!! I’m 10DPO tomorrow I think. Have you had or got any symptoms?

@Mumma8538 oh god it didn’t put me off. I was sooooooooo hungry and devoured my lunch in work 😂😂😂😂😂🙈 Looks like we might have a boozy Christmas and try again. When is your fertile week?

Mumma8538 · 14/12/2023 17:44

I think mine @PinkFlamingo888 was an evap line or a CP and I’m due my AF on Sunday ! Maybe it is a boozy Christmas for us then try again Christmas new year week!

@Newmumwales that’s good I would of been starving too and have a double lunch if wasn’t feeling brekkie! Mine is the Christmas / new year week too.. my partner will think it’s the best Christmas ever with all that doing the deed !

OP posts:
PinkFlamingo888 · 14/12/2023 17:50

There’s another thread about someone getting a negative clearblue and 4 positive other tests! Aaahhh this is killing me! Not testing again, I’ll do my best to put it out my mind and let’s see what Monday brings!
A little bit of hope has perked me up again though 🤞 🤞

Karinx · 14/12/2023 18:22

@Mumma8538 a dye stealer is where the test line is darker than the control line 😊 this was my second cycle TTC and it will be baby #1!

@Newmumwales thank you! I've had a few symptoms but the main ones that made me really believe it were creamy CM which I don't normally get, some light spotting Monday and Tuesday and I've just felt sicky since Monday. Now I've got crampy, pulling pains in my uterus. Also I had a dream about doing a test which was the last giveaway 😅

Mumma8538 · 14/12/2023 21:31

@PinkFlamingo888 I have seen that also it’s the blue ones that don’t seem to give that early reading . So still time!

@Karinx ah ok thanks you for explaining that! I think you will get it, I have positive vibes!

How's everyone getting on? I've managed to get to 8dpo without testing but all my "symptoms" that aren't really symptoms have left me now. I did a test this morning and think I can see something but it may be a shadow

Anyone in DPO limbo land
Mumma8538 · 15/12/2023 08:56

@Impatient1987 well done for holding out and not testing but I can for sure see something on that test ! Maybe it’s just really really faint as it’s so early ?
do another tomorrow 👀
it was about that time that my ‘symptoms , disappeared also I’m just left with ever so slightly tender boobs

OP posts:
Impatient1987 · 15/12/2023 09:13

@Mumma8538 yes with my first the reasons for testing were sore boobs and a fatigue like I've never felt. I've had some fatigue but my boobs just feel normal so I haven't been holding out much hope. Only time will tell, it just goes so slowly! How many dpo are you now? Are you planning to test again or waiting for AF?

Karinx · 15/12/2023 10:01

@Impatient1987 that is similar to how mine looked 9DPO, I can definitely see something!

I took a digital this morning, feels so much better seeing it in writing 🥰
