Does it sound mad to not want to - to not face that disappointment again? I don't know sounds odd but it is so disheartening getting a BFN!

Completely understand this and still put myself through it this month 🤣 1/10 do not recommend.. I’m outta tests now and I’m hoping I’m strong enough to not buy any next month!

Hey lovely! I'm 10DPO tomorrow contemplating testing but not sure?!! How are you all doing?

Let us know how it goes!
everything crossed for you x

slothbat · 02/11/2024 08:37

Morning all please don't tell me off why I've done this I don't know ... I took a strip test thought nothing of it then I thought my eyes were playing tricks as in real life there's a small VVVVVFL so took a clear blue ...

Awwww amazing news!! How exciting congrats 🪨🤣🪨

Lila34830 · 02/11/2024 09:22

@slothbat so excited for you !
2 bfp this month so far. Very happy for you guys.

I have a question, I have ecwm this morning, but peak was Thursday. Should I ignore ? Can it be leftover ? 😭
Shall I DTD ?
We didn't DTD last night but we did Wednesday and Thursday (peak day)

You can get EWCM a little after ovulation too.. it’s upto you if you DTD you still could be in your fertile window if you ovulated late yesterday as the egg lives for 24 hours

Heartypandaa · 02/11/2024 09:50

@slothbat congrats soo so happy for you💫

Lila34830 · 02/11/2024 09:52

Thanks for the advice @KT199 ! I had the cramps on Thursday night and I read from a gyno that's the fluid that escapes when the egg is released that irritates the lining of the fallopian tube, so I'm thinking ovulation happened there ... (also keeping this in mind to make myself feeel better because in all honesty we don't have it to DTD again after 6 times in a 10 days interval 😂 we're not that sex crazy ....
Next cycle if unlucky with this one we will probs only DTD during the rise, on peak day and 2 days after. Saving our energy (but obvs we had a right ovulation nightmare this month!)

Heartypandaa · 02/11/2024 09:56

@Lila34830 i hate when this happens! If we aren't already confused! Well i would dtd again, i believe LH surge just tells you you are about to ovulate, but i depends on how many hours later, it could be up to 72h, that's why taking bbt is important (i never done do it to be honest) but i do trust the Ewcm and would dtd again today. Gooodluck u got this💪🏼

Itstime2023 · 02/11/2024 10:15

@slothbat aw wow congratulations that's so cool. How many dpo are you???

Potentially yes! I’ve never really felt ovulation, had little twinges like once/twice.
I know what you mean, it is a lot!!
I was going with that this month, until I got my peak and was told via BBT I ovulated on same day so don’t even know if we really had a chance this month tbh 🤣.

Our bodies work in mysterious ways, why are cycles always normal and predictable until the point in time we need them to be 🫣

Hahaha!! Only do it if you can be bothered and want to 😂

My PMS symptoms are SO intense today, AF is due tomorrow. I don’t have any cramping but I have the worst headache ever, painkillers aren’t helping and my boobs are the sorest they’ve ever been. Jogged back to the car after leaving a shop and they actually hurt so much that I stopped. I’ve never had them this bad before, wonder what the heck is going on! I thought I was all out of tests but I had a clear blue left that I didn’t realise and did it this morning and was negative so defo think AF will show.

Lila34830 · 02/11/2024 20:43

@KT199 are you feeling any better ?
Will you test again tomorrow or if AF is late just in case ? Xx

Lila34830 · 02/11/2024 20:43

Btw we did not DTD 😂
I will count on the swimmers already there to do the job for us 🤣

No, really can’t shift the headache and my boobs are still so sore. I usually spot 12 DPO and no sign of that.. so unsure if AF is gonna turn up or just delay herself to annoy me 😂. I’ll probably wait another 2/3 days if she doesn’t show, but suspect I can’t possible be pregnant as negative test this morning.

hahahaha, I do not blame you!! Hopefully it will still have been enough🤞

Heartypandaa · 02/11/2024 22:18

@KT199 you are not out until AF shows 🤞🏻 fingers crossed for you.
Those two BFP in this thread are a good sign maybe it will work out for all us who knows 🤷🏻‍♀️💫

Seconding @Heartypandaa on this as I also heard a lot of ppl say their first v v v v faint line was 12/13 dpo. Depends on implantation. But keep us updated regardless girl 🤞🏼
