@Wyewaving Perfect!! Now is your time. Fingers crossed for you!! Have you been dtd every day anyway? I never know what the right way to do it is. Il be honest the times I have been pregnant i have literally done it once and fallen! Very lucky. This time im on second month trying (first month i ovulated a lot later and didnt come on til later too) this month I really hope I caught!! Will have to wait and see. Also very optimistic thinking I will be so lucky again i know x

H938 · 05/01/2024 11:08

@LuceNumberTwo are you testing today or waiting til monday. Im on edge for you 😂

Noisinmaro · 05/01/2024 11:16

Congrats on the BFP, also love seeing people get them...gives me hope, hopefully my luck will turn....

H938 · 05/01/2024 11:53

@starryx any updates - not heard from you, you must be around 11/12 dpo?

LuceNumberTwo · 05/01/2024 12:18

@H938 Noooo I haven't! I'm very much trying to wait until Monday! 🙈
After today I've got quite alot going on so I'm going to try keeping myself occupied!
How are you doing? Any symptoms etc? X

H938 · 05/01/2024 12:25

@LuceNumberTwo well I gave in and tested obviously BFN as it would be at 8dpo 😂 now im deffo waiting til AF as its pointless. I dont have any symptoms really im trying not to over think it all x

Hi :) well I've work up feeling really tired/headache /going hot and cold today - 11dpo currently! Next few days are crucial to seeing thus month. Had no cramps since..so I'm thinking it was implantation cramps

I managed to hold for three and a half hours. All I had was cheapies and one from Clearblue fertility tracker (not the ovulation sticks), and I think... I think this is the beginnings of something.

Congrats!!! Did you see any symptoms or?

@starryx ohhh sounds promising!! When are you testing?

im just waiting now after doing a test at 8dpo bfn obviously. Dont know why I bothered 😂 to be honest i feel fine, no pms symptoms but also nothing else to report so I guess I will see. Every month its different x

Peonies94 · 05/01/2024 12:52

@KittyFantastica congratulations 🎉

i had my static smiley today! Really hope it’s ovulation! It’s early in my typical cycles but as they’re so irregular i test early as it’s hard to tell! I had 5 flashy smiles and then static today so 🤞🏻!

LuceNumberTwo · 05/01/2024 12:57

@H938 Aww God, those bfn kill me..
I know that I'm being that confident about feeling pregnant that I'm probably not to be honest...
Pre mom says I'm 9dpo, flo says 8.. I can't be exactly sure which day I ovulated anymore.
Are you just going to wait until AF date? Was it your digital you used?

@LuceNumberTwo just a savers cheap one! But i cant help but think thats it now its over 😂 its draining all this waiting then testing. Yes waiting until next week Thursday see if it shows! I feel like after this im gonna stop trying with ovulation tests etc. I find it all stressful X

siobhanmt247 · 05/01/2024 13:10

Someone please tell me I'm being silly and it's too early to have symptoms. I don't think I can deal with getting my hopes up. A couple of days ago I had lots of twinges and pulling one one side, I've been going to the loo in the middle of the night loads and these last few days I've felt exhausted.

LuceNumberTwo · 05/01/2024 13:17

@H938 I totally get you, I was so like I'm definitely pregnant my boobs have been so bad since 5 dpo.. Like burning & super achy, with feeling sicky. But it's like is this my body playing tricks & giving me full force pms for AF next week 🤦‍♀️ but I swear I've never had boob pain like it

@siobhanmt247 how many dpo are you? If I'm pregnant then I'm apparently 8/9 dpo & been having symptoms since 5 🤣🤣 x

siobhanmt247 · 05/01/2024 13:29

@LuceNumberTwo im 7 dpo. I did test really early with my first at 8dpo but I was on clomid so I feel like that made it all stronger. I had implantation cramps with her a few days before and going to the loo alot made me think I must have been. I'm don't want to test until my period is missed though 😬

KittyFantastica · 05/01/2024 13:45

Thank you all 🥰

@starryx None really except a bit of extra gassiness! On Wednesday 3rd January in the evening I had the tiniest, tiniest ache in my belly. Test was very obviously negative. When I woke up on the Thursday morning, I honestly thought AF had arrived. I got up to go and get supplies from the bathroom cupboard, checked and there was nothing there, so I did the first cheapie. The squinter came up within a minute!

The cramps and gassiness have been consistent ever since. My boobs are a tiny bit sore, but nowhere near as bad as they are before I ovulate. I felt mildly nauseous earlier, but it was gone in minutes. Honestly, I feel as though I'm on a period but without the PMS and actual blood flow at the moment!

Have you had any?

Well I can relate to the gas at the moment lol for the past few days and I woke up with cramps a couple of days ago and they have gone since 😅 I have woke up today feeling very tired and i felt a bit dizzy even though I had a normal night sleep.

Quite a few people say its similar to af symptoms so I suppose it shows never to give up!
I'm very happy for you

@KittyFantastica ah that actually gives me a bit of hope as got a negative test today at 8dpo but I know its super early. Also have no symptoms x

Newmumwales · 05/01/2024 16:33

Congratulations @KittyFantastica

ladies am I going mad? I looked and put it n down as family coming over. Went back to it tonight and this. An evap line? I’m only 8DPO I think!?!? It’s an easy @ home test.

TTC FOR JANUARY
H938 · 05/01/2024 16:35

@Newmumwales 😵😵 do another??? X

Newmumwales · 05/01/2024 16:41

I’m going to have to! I’m not going to use my FResponse or clear blue?

TTC FOR JANUARY
H938 · 05/01/2024 16:45

@Newmumwales i can 100% see the line but I dont know about indents, surely it will show up again though. X

Newmumwales · 05/01/2024 16:47

@H938 im convinced it’s an evap line! I’ve got to as don’t want to get my hopes up. I’ve seen people get them. I did one as been having cramp twinges and nausea. But I’ve been ill though. AF not due for another 7 days odd.

I’ve got a clear blue here, a first response and one or two more easy at homes. I’m still so early. We DTD 27th December.

Mine was an east at home test and this is exactly what it looks like. We DTD 24th, 25th, 26th & 28th, and I'd guess when I got my first tiny line on Thursday I was either 9 or 10DPO.

That looks like a positive to me!
