@1woodpecker Awww I'd give it maybe 3 days? And test again?
Easier said than done I know!

Yes I definitely need to do that!

I think some people do implant later so I think it’s true that you might not get a Bfp until missed period. Makes it hard though because there’s always a chance of getting one earlier 🙈

LuckyDuck93 · 24/10/2024 15:02

@bbymama12 sorry to hear that!
My BBT dropped massively today so taking that as a sign that AF is on the way!

MrBigsCat · 25/10/2024 09:07

I’m day 4 of new cycle here- I’ve literally had so many symptoms and also lack of symptoms each month and it’s never meant anything ☹️

LuckyDuck93 · 25/10/2024 11:46

@MrBigsCat i'm the same, I never have any period symptoms really, so having on and off different symptoms really gets my hopes up.
Then again, maybe I do usually have period symptoms but i'm only just noticing them now i'm spotting every little thing!

1woodpecker · 28/10/2024 06:54

AF arrived for me. Although I’ve been worried about my oestrogen being low and have had really thin watery light periods for ages, but this one seems much more substantial so hoping maybe my oestrogen is increasing 🤞🏻

bbymama12 · 13/11/2024 08:56

Hi girls hope yous are all well. I'm back at 4dpo again I believe this in cycle 4 or maybe 3 I'm not sure. Not feeling too hopeful this month. Dtd 2 days before ovulation and one day after due to work schedules. Trying to have the approach of, 'if it happens it happens' and 'it only takes once'
Hope your all doing well x

I’m 5DPO
I’ve had a nasty cold so it’s tricky to spot symptoms.
im very thirsty which was a sign for my last two pregnancies (ended in mcs)
but im probably thirsty due to having a cold.

bbymama12 · 13/11/2024 16:57

@Remyone
Sorry to hear about your mcs. Sending lots of baby dust your way
Fingers crossed this is our month 🤞🏽
I'm notorious for symptom spotting. I usually get sore boobs 8-9 days before my period is due. So if that happens again I'll just count myself out to avoid the testing disappointment. Had no symptoms for both pregnancies until about 8 weeks.

Hi @bbymama12 , hope you're doing ok, we've had a month off really trying and only DTD 4 days before ovulation, so not even thinking about it this month, which has actually been a really lovely break!

bbymama12 · 14/11/2024 10:28

@LuckyDuck93 I think you defo need that as it does get too much
I actually didn't track ovulation or anything this month I'm usually testing LH every day but I just didn't bother and used the app dates.
It's only been 4 months for me and I'm fed up already.
Thank you lovely hope your doing well too x

I’m day 3 of af here
cycle 20 now!

1woodpecker · 18/11/2024 15:07

I’m 8dpo, have had particular tender breasts over the last week but BFN today. I’m just convinced it won’t happen, it would be a miracle if I say a second line!

Dreamingofthree · 18/11/2024 20:53

Can I join please?

4dpo today. Definitely out, yet again. Was super duper stressed day before ovulation and dh is having performance issues (think the timings around the fertile time are getting to him) then 1dpo got vomiting bug.

i track my cm and it is classic negative cycle

DTD two days before ovulation is all you need. Im currently 11DPO and only DTD once two days beforehand and I got a BFP yesterday. Good luck! :)

bbymama12 · 19/11/2024 11:18

@Lulu89x that's reassuring! trying to stay positive!! Massive congratulations on your bfp!! Wishing you a healthy pregnancy 💫🫶🏽

bbymama12 · 19/11/2024 11:20

@1woodpecker your defo still in with a chance, you going to test today?

I was convinced this month as I'm due on in 4 days and usually PMS 9 days before, having 0 period symptoms and I'm usually dying by now.

Tested 10dpo today bfn! Was on a Superdrug early test, didn't use fmu though x

OP posts:
bbymama12 · 20/11/2024 11:27

11dpo bfn on digital clear blue. Shouldn't have even bothered doing it don't know why I did :(

11dpo bfn on digital clear blue. Shouldn't have even bothered doing it don't know why I did :(

Give it a few days. When is your period due? Did you use the regular clear blue digital or the 6 day early test? The cheapie I used at 10DPO came back negative. The pink dye strips came up positive.

bbymama12 · 20/11/2024 14:21

@LuckyDuck93 ahh okay well I used the clear blue weeks indicator one it does say you can do it from 5 days early and my period is due on Saturday! So that came back not pregnant and I also did a Superdrug early detection one pink dye, bfn aswell :(
I'm hoping it's just too early. I'm not going to test now until Friday or Saturday. I have one clear blue one left so just going to save it for then. Sick of spending 💸 on these tests so early 😅 still having absolutley no period symptoms which I defo would usually have by now xx

OP posts:
bbymama12 · 25/11/2024 11:17

Update girls. 2 days late tested yday and negative. Haven't tested yet today as didn't have any left. Feel like if I was pregnant it'd show by now

OP posts:
LuckyDuck93 · 25/11/2024 15:40

@bbymama12 Ah sorry to hear that, it's so confusing when you're late too, could you have ovulated later maybe?

bbymama12 · 25/11/2024 16:22

@LuckyDuck93 possibly? I didn't track ovulation this month just going off of the app's estimation xx

OP posts:
LuckyDuck93 · 28/11/2024 11:13

@bbymama12 how are you getting on?
I've got two apps and both estimate different days for ovulation (normally two days apart) so it's often confusing which one is right, the only way to tell is by my BBT but it's too late by the time it's gone up so just have to aim for both days 😂
