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?

Im now 11 DPO and BFN this morning so think my chances are now getting slim.

@BB1215 those are positives. Congrats!!
I’ve been using those same easy at home tests for the past year, and only twice have I had an evap but that is only after hours and hours when they’ve dried. So if it looks like that after 5 mins, you’re all good :)
Also, the more expensive tests are just the same strip inside the plastic casing so I wouldn’t worry about not having those. In fact, I’ve had more issues with evaps on the expensive branded ones than these little cheap strips.

@Rosyposy26 so sorry to hear, that must be disappointing to have got the negative after the positive. So do you think you saw a faint line at 5DPO or do you think you may have got your dates wrong? As kindly, 5 is too early for a positive. But you’re certainly still in with a chance if you’re still 10/11 DPO. Let us know how you get on when you test again. Fingers crossed for you.

Hope everyone else is hanging in there and not going to crazy in these final days of waiting!

BB1215 · 25/02/2024 11:34

@YorkshirePeridot
im only tentatively excited I will see what other tests show in the next few days 😬

mine had no line 10dpo and the no spotting is the same as me, I would usually spot 10/11 dpo end haven’t so fingers crossed !

BB1215 · 25/02/2024 11:35

@AnnieStar12 thank you 😘really hoping this is finally the start of a positive!

Emilyx00 · 25/02/2024 11:37

Congratulations for those getting positives!!!

I’m 6dpo today. No symptoms or cramping but I guess it’s still a bit early. Not feeling very hopeful for this month. Lots of babies due in my family this year so I’m just really hoping I can still be one of them.

Wictc · 25/02/2024 12:14

@Shortcake06 I think I’m around day 11 and I figured if these were pregnancy symptoms surely something would flag up by now. Think my period will come early again as my boobs hurt, I feel nauseous, and I’m knackered!

Littleladybugs · 25/02/2024 12:20

Bfn again at 12dpo tbh it’s only what I expected after this length of time. We have frozen embryos from previous ivf that we had for our first so going to save up and use those I think

Adamsapple89 · 25/02/2024 12:33

I think there’s still hope for you both still time for a BFP @Littleladybugs @Wictc

YorkshirePeridot · 25/02/2024 12:33

@BB1215 oh so your line has only started appearing in the last 24 hours? That's good to know. Flo reckons my period isn't due for 6 more days so I might test again in about 4.

Adamsapple89 · 25/02/2024 12:34

TMI but I’ve just had this on wiping. Feeling AF may be coming early 😩 due next Friday

It could also be implantation!

BB1215 · 25/02/2024 13:21

@YorkshirePeridot yes, in fact I was so sure todays was going to be negative i didn’t test with fmu as i woke up mega early so I did this when i got back up. Just really hope it wasn’t an evap 😬

Adamsapple89 · 25/02/2024 13:50

@piechipsgravy thats true. So annoying trying to make a baby isn’t it. Everything could be something and nothing 🙄 off to Paris Tuesday for a few days so nice distraction. How are you doing?

UnicornPrincessSarah · 25/02/2024 14:29

TMI link to pic for some help

Hi ladies do you think this could be implantation, normal or period coming I'm not due till 28th/29th Feb

Was just a glob of discharge in my cervix last night and this morning had some cramping on and off this morning now stopped (they sort of felt like i should maybe be bleeding but i wasnt), the discharge is just wet and sometimes white this morning

im 10/11 dpo today image wont let me add so have had to link it if you are able to click it would be much appreciated

That will be amazing! what do you have planned in Paris?
I'm ok- yo-yoing between feeling hopeful that I might be pregnant and overanalysing every symtpom to feeling really down and defeated. Haven't tested yet and I think that's helping me- AF due at some point this week and if no sign I'll test on Thursday or Friday.

Adamsapple89 · 25/02/2024 14:45

@UnicornPrincessSarah hey, it’s definitely possible, but same with me also some early spotting but just got to wait it out x

UnicornPrincessSarah · 25/02/2024 14:49

@Adamsapple89 yeah its annoying isn't it as symptoms etc can be very the same, not had spotting before period on my cycles before, maybe only the evening before but thats pink/red

Adamsapple89 · 25/02/2024 15:13

@UnicornPrincessSarah yeah I’m similar with spotting normally max 2-3 before. Fingers crossed it’s our month 🤞🏻

Adamsapple89 · 25/02/2024 15:15

@piechipsgravy we only booked yesterday so doing some planning, told him would be nice to get proposed to in Paris but somehow I feel that will not be happening 😅

Oh same here, I go from yes this is it to no will just be another month next month. You’re so good not testing it’s so tough!

UnicornPrincessSarah · 25/02/2024 15:22

@Adamsapple89 Have you had many symptoms or not really?
yesterday I was extremely fatigued, this morning struggled to wake up but don't feel as tired today, but my boobs are so heavy if I jump they hurt don't normally, if I touch the nipple it goes hard straight away lol, lifting arms up to ear hurts when touching boob as well like sensitive

Adamsapple89 · 25/02/2024 15:49

@UnicornPrincessSarah they’re deffo good signs with the breast changes I would say. And I also think if not then at least you know next time you have it that you can be like okay that’s just PMS.

I’ve had some cramping, like full ache. Spotting 6dpo and today and sore armpits. Random ones. Trying the think it’s nothing while also being hopeful. None of the above is normal for me really

UnicornPrincessSarah · 25/02/2024 16:49

@Adamsapple89 Yes I have been keeping a diary of my symptoms so I remember if it's pms or pregnancy lol.

UnicornPrincessSarah · 25/02/2024 16:51

@Adamsapple89 yes im still 50/50 myself but i have my fingers crossed for both of us that this is our month. Just wish pregnancy and PMS symptoms where not so similar lol

Hope you have a fantastic time in Paris as well, not been to the city part myself but been to Disneyland Paris a few times

Shortcake06 · 25/02/2024 17:00

@UnicornPrincessSarah that was such an interesting post of all your symptoms!! I need to get better at logging mine! I’ve been having lots of funny cramping too - mostly similar to period cramping in my lower back. Also the leg pain and in my buttock too?
I have had no sore boobs this month which I always get in the second half of my cycle and before my period.
i honestly feel like I’m going crazy constantly checking for blood 😵‍💫
I stupidly used one of my tests with dilute afternoon pee and shockingly it was negative at 8 or 9 do. I think it is most likely that I am out!

@Adamsapple89 paris sounds amazing i hope you have an amazing time!

BB1215 · 25/02/2024 17:08

Couldn’t wait to retest even though I told myself I would 😂9 months and finally BFP can’t quite believe it!

Anyone due to ovulate around Valentine's Day?
UnicornPrincessSarah · 25/02/2024 17:12

@Shortcake06 Thanks, The leg and hip pain is new for me but strange it has lasted for like 5 days aswell as not done a workout, thank god since Friday evening though this has now stopped.

the period like cramps today did have me a bit worried as well lucky this have stopped aswell

oh no lol, i did that last month at 11dpo as had symptoms thought i would test and got BFN then i said ill test if my period was late but the witch came a day early just my luck.

this month im holding off, fingers crossed for you that you get your BFP this month
