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?

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

Congratulations to you, and very happy and healthy 9 months 😃

piechipsgravy · 25/02/2024 17:20

Congrats @BB1215 amazing news!

BB1215 · 25/02/2024 17:29

@UnicornPrincessSarah @piechipsgravy thank you 😃I can’t quite believe it.

Emilyx00 · 25/02/2024 17:29

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!

I have no idea what’s going on. I’m going to see if AF turns up next weekend, due to MC I may have ovulated late my tests showed ovulated 14th I had pains this last week possible implantation. But still have nausea and sore boobs and now constipated but could all be PMS.

@Emilyx00 Thankyou, yes I have just told him now, he nearly ran round the street he’s that excited bless him 😂

YorkshirePeridot · 25/02/2024 17:54

@BB1215 congratulations!!! Wishing you a boring nine months, in the best possible way!

@UnicornPrincessSarah some of your symptoms are sounding promising, fingers crossed for you! 🤞

YorkshirePeridot · 25/02/2024 18:02

A worrying development here. I had a very sedentary morning then as soon as I got up and started moving around there was a sudden whoosh... enough blood that I had to throw what I was wearing straight in the machine. 🫣 We did dtd last night and I noticed a little bit of blood then so I'm assuming this is blood that was going to come out anyway and we just "dislodged" it? (Sorry tmi).

It was quite watery pink blood, I threw a liner on to monitor it and have since had a few more spots which are looking much redder. Part of me is wondering if it's implantation but a much bigger part is worried that I'm having a super short luteal phase and AF is imminent. Sigh.

Shortcake06 · 25/02/2024 18:02

Congratulations @BB1215 so wonderful to see it in writing like that 😍

Emilyx00 · 25/02/2024 18:06

@BB1215 i love that!!! He must be over the moon. Although 9 months isn’t crazily long, when you’re TTC even 1 cycle feels like forever so he must be so so elated. Wishing you a really healthy 9 months xx

Emilyx00 · 25/02/2024 18:09

@YorkshirePeridot sending hugs. I know how hard it is when you feel like you aren’t in control of your body and don’t know what’s going on. I hope it’s implantation! I also had a cervical ectropion that used to bleed after sex. X

Shortcake06 · 25/02/2024 18:28

@YorkshirePeridot im sorry that’s so confusing! It’s frustrating that we do our best to track and be in control, but our bodies often still remain a mystery. I have everything crossed that this is implantation bleeding 😘

Adamsapple89 · 25/02/2024 19:07

@BB1215 congratulations 💕 im
only month 3/4 so imagine at 9 the stress was coming 🎉

Adamsapple89 · 25/02/2024 19:08

@UnicornPrincessSarah very in depth log which is super helpful for future months like you said!

I’ve just chucked all my cheapie tests in the bin because I’m turning physco I can feel it 😅

overthinkersanonnymus · 25/02/2024 20:55

Uurrggghhhh

I thought I had the squintiest of squinters before but, it's dried completely white. You probably can't see it in the pic but I'll post for shits and giggs

Morning!

I've woken up feeling like death- sore throat, blocked nose, headache etc in addition to the following 'unusual symptoms' which I'm recording here so that next month I can remind myself if I get them again!

• felt nauseous as soon as I stood up this morning
• have got the worst trapped wind/constipation. Getting stabbing pains from the wind but can't actually get it out properly- just little 'puffs' (sorry for the TMI!). Also keep thinking I need a number 2 but can't go.
• one of my nostrils is bleeding- not dripping blood but if I blow my nose I get blood from one side.

I actually have the doctors tonight for shooting breast and armpit pain I've had since Jan so she's doing a breast exam. Obviously I'm fantasising that she'll take one look at my tits and go 'wow, you are pregnant' so need to manage my expectations. 😂

@Westy22 congrats!!! Sending you sticky vibes x

How's everyone else feeling today?

Ginny2018 · 26/02/2024 08:17

Still negative over here at 12dpo 😞

I'm having the worst of days the last couple of days, I've had 2 very vivid dreams about positive tests but then nothing in the morning. I will NEVER test early again, AF due Wednesday but I wish i was still in the hopefull bliss right now instead of feeling like I'm out.

Does anybody else think about how their pregnancy will be if they'll get pregnant this cycle? Things like; i could tell my family I'm pregnant during a planned visit in April (i live abroad), our friends with easter, I'll be x months pregnant during summer, and they will be born around the same time as my birthday! Of course it's setting myself up for dissapointment and I know that with each cycle there will be other benefits but I just make up all these scenarios and then keep getting negatives

overthinkersanonnymus · 26/02/2024 08:24

@Westy22 wooo! Congratulations 🎉

@piechipsgravy how many dpo are you now? Also, I've been to the drs loads about my boobs. Don't panic if they refer you to the breast clinic. They don't mess around with boobs.

@Ginny2018 aww I'm sorry you're feeling down. It's not an easy ride.

DP and I said last night we're going to go for tests in April to see what's going on. It's been over 18 months for us.

10dpo and BFN for me. I don't even feel disappointed anymore, it's always expected.

@Westy22 congratulations 🥳 sending lots of positive vibes 😘
I completely relate to what you are saying. This is cycle 6 since my miscarriage. Your mind races and the anxiety is overwhelming at times. From what I’ve read you are just as likely to have a lovely healthy pregnancy after miscarriage 😘
@piechipsgravy sorry you are ill 🤒 and good luck at the GP. Your symptoms could well be early pregnancy. Have you any plans to test?
@Ginny2018 im sorry, it’s rough isn’t it 😔 that’s the exact reason why I said I don’t early test, I can’t bear the negatives. Of course I did one anyway a few days ago, and of course it was negative 🫠
@overthinkersanonnymus sorry its negative 😞it’s still early at 10 dpo. It may be worth getting some simple blood tests if it’s been 18 months? After my miscarriage I asked my GP and was quite surprised they did a whole load of tests without question.

Im now either 10 or 11dpo and due my period in the next day or so (normal for me- and didn’t stop me conceiving my first child).
I’ve been having period type cramps and ++ cm over the weekend. Day 4 of cramps 🙄
negative test over the weekend
waiting to start my period now and move on to cycle 7 which will be the last chance before I pass my due date of my miscarriage🥲 I plan on having so much alcohol next weekend 😂

AnnieStar12 · 26/02/2024 09:59

Congrats to those with BFP.

And hand hold to those without.

12DPO over here. Stark negative again this morning. I dreamt last night that everyone I knew was pregnant. Argh!! TTC is such a mental head fc
I am starting IVF treatment with this next cycle so I really really wanted to be pregnant this month to avoid having to do that.

I'm so disappointed not to have a positive this month. You would have thought after 12 months of TTC I would be used to the BFNs by now, but every month is equally devastating.

BussiBop23 · 26/02/2024 11:29

So I tested 10DPO, and it was a BFN. I know it's early, but I can't help but feel that's it for me.

It's been 12 months now, so I'm going to book a Dr's appointment. I feel absolutely gutted...can't believe we are in this situation!!

So pleased with the ones with positives!! And a hand hold for the ones without x

Adamsapple89 · 26/02/2024 11:50

Pretty sure I’m out more spotting today and AF due Friday so just spotting a day earlier than I normally would. Good luck to everyone 🤞🏻xx
