@Linalou12 I did opk's for 2 months but jsut found it to add more pressure if I'm honest.

I think I'm going to start monitoring temp & see how that goes. The more info the better I guess.

Oh gosh the tww really does drag doesn't it.
It's strange I was saying to a friend just recently that although when af has shown up it's heartbreaking but it does feel good not to symptom spot for a few days if that makes sense 😂

I'm hoping to see a few more BFP in this thread ladies! 🌟🌟🌟 baby dust to everrryyyooonnnneeeee x

And I can talk the talk but apparently I can't walk. Just tested and blank as anything BFN. Due on Saturday so really should take that as my cue to leave and wish everyone else the luck 💫🌟🤞🏻

holly12388 · 18/01/2024 16:08

Giirrrlllll I feel you! @iwasgonnasay
What test did you use?
BUTTT you know you're not out till the witch arrives. You still have time x

Sct13 · 18/01/2024 16:34

Hey, can I join you all?
Does any rate premom branded tests? I had faint lines on them for 3 days (from 9dpo), and a positive this morning at 12dpo. I went out and bought some Clear Blue and Boots own tests and all negative. I know levels can be lower in the afternoon but there's not even a hint of line. Obviously I'll test again in the morning but I'm thinking the premom tests were faulty...

iwasgonnasay · 18/01/2024 16:41

@holly12388 it was a Morrisons one - should have waited for FMU but you can't help but think if you're having "symptoms" and it's 2 days away you'd SURELY get something on one by now! 😩
@Sct13 I don't have any experience on them but I would be very surprised if 3 were wrong?! Were your boots etc ones afternoon and the premom FMUs?
I feel crampy again but my BBs burning - probably because I keep feeling them to see if they're still sore, of course they are! 🤪🤪

holly12388 · 18/01/2024 17:08

@iwasgonnasay I end up prodding mine so much like 'are you soreeeee???!' They end up being sore 😅 what're we like.
I say take a test Saturday eve or Sunday FMU if af no show.. I have a feeeling for youuuu!

mumto1girlie · 18/01/2024 19:37

@Sct13 ive no experience with them but surely 3 tests wouldn’t read wrong!
maybe test with one of the boots/clearblue first thing in the morning! it could just be that they haven’t been as sensitive as the first 3 you tried which is why it’s not shown yet! i did a tesco and it was faint, i did a clearblue the next day and it didn’t show at all! it wasn’t until i did the boots and then a clearblue digital that it showed properly! xx

Bex4567 · 18/01/2024 21:55

I'm currently 7dpo and the only symptoms I notice is really sore boobs..normally from ovulation to af there sore but nothing like this ...one inparticilur is very sore more than normal I'm hoping that is a good sign

Mum37of4 · 18/01/2024 23:14

Heyy, newbie here, so me and bf not actively trying but also not preventing. Im in day 16 of cycle, DTD sat eve (13th), been cramping but more in the lower back with constipation like I usually get a day or two before AF.
not due AF until around 2nd Feb! Do you think this is Ovulation pain and would chances still be high of pregnancy from DTD Sat eve? BTW don’t usually have this cramping at ovulation but had it now past 3 days. CM was thin stretchy around the weekend then went to just clear and watery now it’s more cloudy thicker but I don’t get much of it anyways so it’s minimal.

Racket81 · 19/01/2024 09:54

@Mum37of4 I would say that ovulation but can't be sure. Have you used opks?

Racket81 · 19/01/2024 09:58

Anyone tested this morning??
I'm 8dpo and trying to resist the urge to test. I have tender nipples and this empty rumbling feeling like I'm really hungry and need to eat but I had toast for breakfast. Prob just pms. Really want to wait see if AF arrives as keep wasting mo ey on tests.
Had my first accupunture yesterday and was really relaxing and although I'm 42 the lady said that from all the menstrual info I gave her I dhould have just as much chance as anyone else of getting pregnant again. She was trying to flush my body and interestingly said I have more reaction to tje needles on left side of my body which is interesting becuase I believe both my boys were conceived from left ovary.

Mum37of4 · 19/01/2024 10:01

@Racket81 - hey, no don’t use OPK but had bloods done Monday to check my hormone levels and progesterone was 0.74, FSH was 5.1 and LH was 10.5 - so im guessing Id have been not far off peak for Ovulation around then maybe a few days after. I think the chances are as good as any given sperm can live up to 5 days. 🤦‍♀️

Racket81 · 19/01/2024 10:04

Definatley I agree. Fingers crossed for you. Hoping to see some bfps on tje thread soon.

Mum37of4 · 19/01/2024 10:12

@Racket81 - well me and OH aren’t actually TTC, however both said if it happens it happens. We don’t want to actively start until next year after he has completed his teaching masters degree. Also I’m scared as I miscarried at 10wks in 2019 and had emergency surgery due to hemorraging.

Racket81 · 19/01/2024 10:23

Oh gosh. Soumds vert stressful time for you. X

Linalou12 · 19/01/2024 10:29

Sounds like you might be in with a chance @Mum37of4 !
any update @Sct13 ? Did you test again today?

Mum37of4 · 19/01/2024 10:35

@Racket81 - it was very scary, however at the time I was also going through a very stressful situation and I think that may have contributed to the loss. @Linalou12 - I guess I will find out next Friday when i do a test 😊

holly12388 · 19/01/2024 11:15

Have all classic AF symptoms of crampy period pains a few days before she shows her head..
really wanting to do a test but I just know it'll be bfn and it's gunna break my heart. Due on Sunday.. so I guess I should jsut wait it out.

@iwasgonnasay did she show? Anymore testing? How're you feeling?

Racket81 · 19/01/2024 12:46

I also was goimg through a very stressful situation when I had my loss so yes could all be connected

MrsP20202 · 19/01/2024 13:13

@holly12388 with you there ! I’m having classic af signs now but was due on 2 days ago and nothing, ordered some tests from amazing last night so will be testing today 🤞🏽 If it’s a bfn then I know I’m out and the witch is on its way 🫣

MrsP20202 · 19/01/2024 17:51

BFN for me 2 days late on period so I’m counting myself out this month

iwasgonnasay · 19/01/2024 19:21

@holly12388 I'm out, she showed today! Boobs still killing though so she must be coming with vengeance 🫣 we're putting a hold on TTC now. Thank you for all the support. Wishing you all the best and good luck to everyone this year 🌟💫

Kezz301 · 20/01/2024 11:23

Congratulations to everyone who got their bfp 🩷

Tested this morning and a star white bfn 🙁 af due today so will wait and see for her to show but feels unlikely I'll get a bfp now x

holly12388 · 20/01/2024 11:27

MrsP20202 · 20/01/2024 14:56
