Hi everyone.

I am 6dpo and feel like I am waiting weeks now to do a test. I am cramping since ovulation. Been using OPK’s so fairly certain by a day/two when I ovulated.

TTC #3. ( been pregnant 5 times).

anyone else on the +-same time and need support?

Thank you all so much. I've everything crossed for those waiting on BFP and sending love to anyone who needs it right now xx

BFN for me at 11dpo with a clear blue 6 days early, I am gutted as my temperatures have been over 37 the last 4 days which is unusual for me, was so sure it would be positive! 😭

hermionelodge · 28/01/2024 13:02

@Itsrainingfrogs it's so deflating isn't it. I've been so convinced this is my month. Took a super sensitive yesterday morning and it was negative. I've bought a clear blue digital but holding off til AF is due on weds. I guess we aren't out until AF arrives. I've read of some people not getting positives until a week late! Hopefully this is our month

piechipsgravy · 28/01/2024 13:26

I'm 10DPO but AF due tomorrow as I have a short luteal phase. I'm symptom spotting like crazy (nausea, cramps, sore boobs + a dream about a positive test!). I'm wondering about testing tomorrow or if I should wait a few more days due to still only being 11DPO tomorrow- can't find any early detection tests. Any thoughts?

Forgot to add- my NC app is suggesting I do test on Friday which would be CD5 but also 15DPO- not sure if that's usual or linked to short LP.

Angelselevenx · 28/01/2024 15:14

@piechipsgravy I too have a shorter LP, sometimes AF will show on 11dpo and other times 12dpo.

I'd see if AF shows and if not, then test or test tomorrow morning?

Itsrainingfrogs · 28/01/2024 20:57

@hermionelodge the disappointment is on another level isn’t it- along with all the hoping/Googling/symptom spotting 😩 draining!
Very true, what will be, will be! That sounds like a good plan. Keep us posted! If AF is a no show I’m going to test Tuesday fmu at 13dpo🤞sending baby dust! ✨

AnnieStar12 · 28/01/2024 21:04

I had another negative this morning. I’m now 10/11 DPO so starting to accept it’s looking most likely that it’s gonna be yet another month of disappointment:(

Ems1992 · 29/01/2024 05:23

My vfl! Yesterday it was only noticeable in the light so I’m glad to see something more today… Fingers crossed!! 😃😃😃

sending love to all of you still awaiting news xx

BFN again this morning at 11DPO but temperature still hasn't dipped and AF is due today.

@hermionelodge congratulations 😊 how many dpo are you?

hermionelodge · 29/01/2024 11:52

@Angelselevenx thank you 😊 I'm 14dpo now. Af due on weds so I'll still being cautious and trying not to get too excited just in case. I tested negative on saturday at 12dpo

rosebudbloom · 29/01/2024 11:58

Congrats @hermionelodge and everyone with BFP 🥳

Anyone with a BFN, we are in this together and go again next time! I'm taking extra care of myself this 🩸 in preparation. Drinking red leaf tea, doing castor oil packs and might book in acupuncture when I'm off! Also taking agnus cactus xx

AnnieStar12 · 29/01/2024 13:06

congrats to everyone getting their BFPs!

Another negative for me today :(

Angelselevenx · 29/01/2024 13:42

@hermionelodge amazing! how exciting, keeping positive for you! Is this your first? How long have you been TTC?

@hermionelodge amazing! how exciting, keeping positive for you! Is this your first? How long have you been TTC?

Thank you! Hopefully all will be OK, just had a tiny bit of pink on the tissue when I went to the toilet. Trying not to stress as I know there's a lot going in inside which can cause irritation, I had a few bleeds in my last pregnancy too so maybe just prone to it.

This will be our second, we have a little girl who is 3.5yrs. This is our 6month trying. We conceived our dd on the first try, so this feels like it too a long time. Although I know 6 months isn't actually that bad.

How are you getting on?

CLazz92 · 29/01/2024 14:09

I'm (around) 7dpo today. Could be anywhere between 5-8dpo to be honest! I have a pretty irregular cycle and no real idea when I'm ovulating, if at all.

We've been trying for over a year and a half at this point with multiple losses so I'd kind of given up hoping month on month. But for some reason this month just felt different and I'm back into the symptom spotting cycle 🫠 Started getting mildly sore boobs today, which is normal for me in the couple of weeks before AF but I'm still taking that and running with it as a symptom 😆. Someone help me stop this madness.

Huge congratulations to all those who have got their BFP this month! And sending hugs to those who got a BFN.

Angelselevenx · 29/01/2024 14:11

@hermionelodge it's so common to have some bleeding it's likely to be implantation 🤞🏼 keep us updated.

Aww great news, were TTC #1, on cycle 12/been trying a year and we've both had tests done and all come back normal, getting a bit sick of TTC now. I'm 9DPO today with a shorter LP so AF is due on Wednesday. Had some evaps on wondfos earlier which is annoying

piechipsgravy · 29/01/2024 15:27

@hermionelodge congrats!

hermionelodge · 29/01/2024 19:20

@piechipsgravy thank you 😊

@Angelselevenx that sounds really difficult, more frustrating that everything is clear from tests, but also a positive that you should be able to get pregnant. TTC is so hard mentally, it's exhausting and definitely loses it's fun as the months go on. such a lonely time as well. I really hope AF doesn't appear for you this week! hopefully this is your month! keep us updated if you feel up to it.

@CLazz92 so sorry to hear of your losses. do you track your ovulation at all? as it is so hard not to symptom spot though. each month its trying to find the line of not being too excited, but not giving up hope. my first symptom this month was sore boobs and I get them a week before AF every cycle so I didn't read too much into it! so hopefully this is a good sign for you too

CLazz92 · 29/01/2024 19:42

@hermionelodge I was tracking using OPKs until about 4 months ago. I seem to have very high LH levels so every ovulation kit shows a line, a flashing smiley face or a solid smiley face - and that's right through the month!

I've started going off just how I feel, any cramps and whether I have egg white cm.

When I fell pregnant in Sept my first symptom was incredibly sore boobs and then a weird aversion to soft foods (even pasta, which my Italian husband was horrified by 😆).

How are you feeling now?

@CLazz92 ah ok, that's not very helpful then! Yeah I was similar, I'd just been going by the apps. The app said I was ovulating on the 16th but I'm 99% sure it was actually the 15th. Hahaha I'm not Italian and I can understand his horror 😅

I'm ok thanks, still very crampy and feeling tired and a bit sick. But enjoying feeling symptoms hoping it's all good signs!

Angelselevenx · 30/01/2024 08:05

BFN at 10dpo and AF due in the next two days so think I'm out this month. Have my fertility referral next month so that's one thing at least!
