@Justbloodylovecrisps I had zero symptoms with my DS so at least I don't have the issue of symptom spotting as I know there could be none 😂 it's just a wait and see now! And try not to use all the tests in one day 👀

@Pricklypickles @LuxyLocket

I took 2 FRER tests 1 on the day AF was due & 1 the day after (both negative) I was kinda relieved when AF showed up as I thought it might be a phantom pregnancy 😅🤦🏽‍♀️ It's already depressing enough reaching the end of the TWW with another failed attempt without your body tricking your mind into believing your pregnant 🤦🏽‍♀️ the disappointment is next level, I also felt quite stupid, confused & kinda crazy 😅 No more symptom spotting for me! I'm not putting myself through that again. I'm glad I'm not the only person who has experienced this, even though I wouldn't wish it on anyone! I think we deserve some luck 🤞🏽

10dpo today and a negative test with a side of line eyes. I am bleeding a little bit not period amount of blood. Never had implantation bleeding so not sure if it is that or the new vitamins affecting things. Had some cramping this morning but trying not to read onto things

I’m feeling good, been a bit crampy this evening actually but I don’t know if that means the egg is being released or if your ovaries are getting ready to?

Ive already dtd once today but do I need to again this evening?

I've read the cramping in the ovary or ovaries happens after the egg is released due to the tearing of the follicle. I had very intense cramping in both ovaries on the cycle I conceived (with a chemical) and I'd never had that before. I've also heard that it's better for the man to ejaculate every other day when TTC so the quality of motile healthy sperm is at its highest... But I'm no doctor 😅 so I'd say follow your gut. Just thought I'd share some of my research, not that any of it has paid off yet 🤦🏽‍♀️

Ooo thanks for this!

I might just wait until tomorrow morning and then be at peace with it lol, I’m having EWCM today so I don’t know if that means I’m about to or already have. I couldn’t tell in the last few days due to dtd so much if you get what I mean😂

If you're getting these & still no AF then it's looking very promising! You could always push the boat out & get one of those clear blue digital ones that say how many weeks. They're supposed to be the most accurate in the very early days. I can say from looking at a lot of negative tests with absolutely no lines no matter how hard you look 😅 that those look very positive to me. Good luck 🤞🏽 everything crossed for you!

Oh I’m so sorry I should have said they are OPKs agghhh!

I was just making sure that middle darker one is peak? What do you think?

Boots should really put on the test that they are ovulation tests they can easily be looked at as a pregnancy test, makes me sad lol

Justbloodylovecrisps · 15/10/2024 16:13

@owlcat24 right I've just had more evaps..I
Held out until now and did a clear blue and I thought I could see a line forming so I dug out a boots one and thought the same, then when I checked I couldn't be sure but it's been about an hour and I can see lines..arghh why is this so annoying 🤣

owlcat24 · 15/10/2024 16:34

@LucyLou0527 yeah the middle one definitely looks like a peak, although the ones below it look darker than the control line too?

@Justbloodylovecrisps if you saw the line forming then I think it's a good sign! Do you have a picture? But I know what you mean, a part of me thinks mine are evaps as they're so so so faint and barely there! But I remind myself that last month I didn't even have that 😅 so I'm not getting my hopes up yet. Hopefully tomorrow we'll get better lines! Do you have any pink dye tests? Clear blue are terrible for evaps and indents etc.

Mummysparrow · 15/10/2024 17:47

I just did a clear blue and didn't even get an indent. I even pulled it apart 🤣
I know there is still time but I think I am out again 😭

If you get the cheap Clear & Simple early detection tests they DON'T have evap lines, no matter how many hours pass since you test (I've seen enough negatives with this brand to confirm this) They only cost £1 in Savers too and detect as low as 10miu/ml!

10dpo is way too early to think you're out 😅 even if implantation has only just happened, HCG levels will still be too low to be detected. I'm at 13dpo in the morning and will continue to resist testing so I'm still in until AF turns up🤞🏽 Don't torture yourself, just hang on a few more days! Good luck 🍀

Mummysparrow · 15/10/2024 20:17

@AnonymousSGJB the problem is I am am comparing to my previous 2 pregnancies (one living child and one loss) and I got a positive at 10dpo and 11dpo for those pregnancies so for me I feel like if not got a faint line now then I am most likely out. I know I am not out until AF arrives but I am just trying to not get my hopes up so I am not too hard on myself when AF arrives

I know what you mean I've had 2 pregnancies before (both loses) & it's hard not to compare everything with what you've previously experienced. It's definitely wise not to get your hopes up, I'm also trying to do that now after causing myself so much distress 🤦🏽‍♀️ but my 2nd pregnancy was completely different to the 1st. Implantation happened really early with 1 & quite late with the other. My symptoms were different too, with 1 I knew straight away & had no idea with the other. Each pregnancy can be very different, I hope this helps & even if you are out, there's always next cycle in a couple of weeks. Plus you can treat yourself to a bottle of wine & chocolate if you get AF. ☝🏽

Emiily887 · 15/10/2024 22:04

Sorry for going MIA today ladies, it’s been one of those days at work!
Had a quick read and looks like there’s some hopeful testing going on!!🤞🏼
How’s everyone feeling?
2dpo today and feel pretty relaxed considering we had late ovulation! I’ll make the most of it because this time next week no doubt I’ll be POAS every 5 minutes 🤣

fingerscrossed2024 · 16/10/2024 07:28

Hey ladies, how's everyone doing? I've got my fingers crossed for you all!
I have taken another test (I can't stop myself, and another digital)
AF was due yesterday and so far hasn't come! These were my tests today! Still no die stealer but looks promising? But digital still saying not?

What's your thoughts.. should it be darker by now?

Lucky october?🤞🏼

Emiily887 · 16/10/2024 07:35

@fingerscrossed2024 I think it looks promising, could you have ovulated later than you thought? Perhaps there’s not enough hcg as the digitals are usually less sensitive xx

OP posts:
owlcat24 · 16/10/2024 07:36

@fingerscrossed2024 if the line appeared within the timeframe then it's definitely a positive! The digital might be lower sensitivity so can't detect it just yet. Could you have ovulated later than expected?

LuxyLocket · 16/10/2024 07:56

I reckon you’re still in it @fingerscrossed2024 maybe test again this evening! 🤞

Just catching up. Looks exciting for those starting to test now! 🥰I’m 8dpo today and so tired. I am entering the time where I could start testing on the early strips if I want to. I promised myself I wouldn’t but I bet I waver!
tww is going a lot quicker than last cycle.
how’s everyone doing? 💕

LuxyLocket · 16/10/2024 08:03

I also keep getting a strange taste in my mouth but it’s not metallic 🤷‍♀️who knows.
