My ovulation day is predicted the 14th, but not sign of EWCM just yet so may be a few days later.

Anyone want some company this cycle?

Emilyx00 · 29/02/2024 20:33

I defo think I’m out. I reckon the tests were evaps! I done another one today and BFN. 😩 feeling so down about it because I was getting excited over the faint lines x

UnicornPrincessSarah · 29/02/2024 20:43

@Emilyx00 when is AF due for you? if you can maybe try holding off to test now untill late if possiable

Wictc · 29/02/2024 22:51

Me too!! Came on yesterday, awful period pain this month.

Emilyx00 · 29/02/2024 23:24

I haven’t got a clue when I’m due as I’ve only had one cycle since MC but I’m cramping so badly and I have the exact same symptoms as before AF. Tests have either been BFN or vvvvf lines which are likely evaps.

Sending hugs to everyone who hasn’t got their BFP yet / AF has arrived xx

Hi everyone, I'm new to posting on Mumsnet so hope I'm in the right thread.

This is our fifth month trying and I promised myself I wouldn't symptom spot, but something is different, so here I am 🙈 😂 Would love to know if anyone has had similar symptoms or any opinions / advice? I ovulated the week of Valentines day too!

5-7 dpo - started noticing mild backache that got painful quite quickly, and spread down my legs and groin like a dull ache (and I'm not an exercise girlie, so this was strange). I also then had a totally random sharp stabbing pain on my lower left side that took. my breath away, but then subsided quickly after.

8dpo - sorry for the tmi here but potentially the worst combo is an increased sense of smell and bad gas. I had more twinges but not in a painful way, but some noticable pulling / pressure

9-10 dpo - confusingly (or not?!) nothing of note was going on. a couple of spots under my chin and one or two moments of twingy sensations but really nothing to write home about

11dpo (today) - i've felt very off, had a banging headache, have felt low and had really dry skin and chapped lips, despite not changing my skincare routine.

Throughout the whole tww I've not had any bleeding, and my boobs feel bigger and a bit tender, but not the soreness you read about as such?

Anyway, I'm confused as hell and trying to not get my hopes up but these symptoms are all new to me. AF is due Sat/Sun so I'm going to try and wait to test on Sunday but it's driving me round the bend.

Anyone else had similar symptoms and led to a BFP?

Thanks for reading x

Emilyx00 · 01/03/2024 08:14

I’ve taken another test this morning and got a proper BFN! Cannot believe I got so many slight evaps. I’ve thrown out the rest of my tests and my ovulation tests. Think I’m going to have a months break to just get my head back in the game. Good luck ladies and congratulations to all the positives xxx

overthinkersanonnymus · 01/03/2024 20:30

I have zero self control. What is wrong with me 😂😂

I'm 13/14 dpo and had the "urge", I was then greeted with a lovely evap line!

I actually thought it might have even been a late BFP, because the first one is about 2/3 minutes after the test, and the second one about 10 minutes afterwards.

I swear (🤞🏻😉) I'm not testing AT ALL next month.

@overthinkersanonnymus i have just used my last test doing the exact same thing. BFN! Been trying to convince myself all day that maybe I ovulated 3 days after peak instead of the day after and therefore I’m only 9dpo but the reality is… I’m not pregnant😂☹️ onto the next!! xx

sarahhh18 · 01/03/2024 21:49

@overthinkersanonnymus @emilyx00 I did the same! Took a test at 11dpo and it was a bfn. I know it's technically early to take it but just had an urge of optimism; I couldn't help it and now I'm gutted.

I just hate hate hate this waiting game. I know the likelihood of AF coming is getting higher by the hour so part of me is just thinking why can't it get hurry up and get here so I can pick myself up and prepare to go again next month. Aghh sorry, this is really neggy but just in a real grump today.

Emilyx00 · 01/03/2024 23:24

@sarahhh18 Aww. It’s so difficult isn’t it? No judgement from me girl, rant away, I practically flounced earlier after getting ANOTHER bfn and then cried nearly all day about it. I keep doing the same, trying to convince myself that AF might not come but the reality is that it is coming. I’ve used all my tests now but I won’t test again unless I don’t come on by the end of the week. When are you going to test again? Sending you big hugs. Hopefully the BFN does turn to BFP. I pasted a thread in earlier from a lady who didn’t get her positive until 12dpo + xx
