Congratulations @Mumzydarling12 and @Lemoncello823 what wonderful news!

My AF still hasn't arrived and tested with first urine this morning and still negative. Really not sure what's going on and feeling a bit down about it. Have a busy day at work so hopefully that will take my mind off!

Sending baby dust everyone's way 💖✨

@DaringlyDizzy yes I’m out as well bfn and started spotting yesterday 14dpo right on cue for AF to start today i imagine! How are you feeling about things? Im trying to just relax as away for weekend and not panic about going into 6th or 7th cycle ( cant keep track!) im semi laughing at myself from July thinking would have coil out and get pregnant immediately 🤣

@carolinep3 hope you have some nice comfort treats for weekend after your rubbish day yesterday ❤️❤️

@Mumzydarling12 so happy for you sounds super promising line progression keep us updated! hope we get photos back soon!

I’ve started bleeding. Unsure what to think now. Feel silly for getting excited about my positive test this morning 😭 don’t know if this is implantation or maybe a chemical

Do we have a March thread yet?
11dpo for me and negative test. I’ve normally got a faint positive by now so I’m saying I’m out this month x

congrats to the positives 🥳

Congrats @Mumzydarling12

Really sorry to hear you have started bleeding @Lemoncello823 . If you had a faint like, unlikely to be implantation could be a chemical or sometimes people bleed and pregnancy still continues just fine, probably won't know of a day or two. I'm really sorry you are being messed around.

I really hate the end of the tww, my mind is totally fucked!!
My fertility mentor emailed me and said my progesterone levels suggested I implanted, so to do a pregnancy test incase it was a chemical, but I did a homebargains strip one last night and was 100% negative, I have no spotting today but I do have cramps so I'm just waiting for at to start. I don't want false hope but she is saying to do a sensitive test, don't know if it is worth me buying a clear blue, you can't buy a frer is any shops here only online. Feels like another emotional hurdle that will end in heartbreak!

Congrats to the positives!!

@lemoncello823 is it spotting or a bit heavier? Really sorry that must be so worrying for you.

I caved and tested this morning. I'm 10dpo and BFN for me and cramping this morning so I'm sure AF is on her way.

Sorry to hear this, but like others have said could be spotting or sometimes people bleed in pregnancy and everything is still ok 🤞🏻 x

Echoing what others said and could be spotting - keeping everything crossed for you

@Lemoncello823 hoping it’s just implantation for you. I had a chemical last month so still a bit nervous about this positive. But if it turns out to be a chemical at least you know that you’re moving the right way with the egg being able to be fertilised if that makes sense! Hoping it’s just implantation though.
Also with my nearly 14old daughter I constantly had bleeding and heavy each month! Was convinced I was still having periods!! But doctor said that was impossible but they couldn’t explain the heavy bleeding. She was born healthy. Never did get any answers to the bleeding. Apparently it just happens sometimes!? Wishing you all the best keep us updated x

Thanks. I’m unsure to be honest I had a definite pink link on my test this morning. Not as dark as the control line but not a squinter. It’s not heavy more so just on wiping. Pinky red colour. I think it’s getting lighter and more brown but need to just wait and see a day or 2

Some bleeding can be totally normal in early pregnancy, with my daughter I had exactly the kind of thing you describe pinky and only when wiping, she’s now a perfectly happy nearly 10 month old! Fingers crossed for you x

Congratulations to those who have positives💫

Bfn for me today. Think I am 7dpo (Couldn't resist testing lol) Have light cramping and feeling like I'm going to come on so will see x

Thank you. I’m off work today and obsessively running to the toilet to check. Have also just done a clear blue early one and have a definite blue line too. I know it will prob take a few days to go negative if it is a chemical

BFN 14 dpo on early detection so im pretty sure im out! congratulations on the positives!!♥️

Exciting to see some positives 😊 is anyone else at the start of the tww?

I am! I think I’m roughly 1dpo today, going purely off symptoms and my previous cycles as not actively tracking yet x

Going by my app, I'm 5dpo, by symptoms I would say maybe 2dpo but I'm really not sure! I've had so much cramping and lower back ache this week, I have no idea where I'm at! AF is due around 17th Feb so I guess we'll just see what happens then 🤷🏼‍♀️

Congratulations to those with positive tests!!! @Lemoncello823 I'll be keeping everything crossed for you x

@Sunshine924 there's a couple of us around 4dpo here. Trying to keep my feet warm and avoid stress, but that's really tough anyway, let alone when ttc 😆

@woodpeckersounds my AF is due around the 17th as well. Will you test early or hold out?

@squishousdelicious I'm really going to try and hold out. It's mine and DP's anniversary on the 14th but I don't want that to potentially be tainted by a negative if you know what I mean? If I haven't come on by 19th then I'll definitely test and go from there. I have two DC already and have never tracked it like this before and just gone with the flow. This time I desperately want it. I'm 34 and understand that I may not be that lucky this time so I just feel like I've gone a bit crazy 🙈 I never thought I would be wanting a baby at this stage in my life but I can't imagine not sharing this with my DP now.

What does DP stand for? Just curious because I can't figure it out😂

Btw your feelings are so valid and I have everything crossed for you🥰

Dear Partner, like DH but for us heathens who aren't married 🙃

@AlbatrossSociety Oh english is not my first language so I have used DH even tho I'm not married 😂 Good to know! New shortening unlocked 🫶🏼

@BerrieSweet DP stands for "Darling Partner" or "Dear Partner".
Thank you. We have a weekend away booked for next month that I bought him for Christmas, so one part of me really wants my BFP this month, and then the other doesn't because then we can enjoy that weekend and have a few drinks together. It's a rock between a hard place this time!

Thank you so much for explanation🥰 Aw that sound so lovely! I guess you can see it from a positive side either way, if it's not this cycle you will have a getaway together just you two, enjoying drinks maybe the last time before you get pregnant 🫶🏼 But hopefully it's a BFP!!

@squishousdelicious @woodpeckersounds @Mrsttcno1 it's slow at the start of the tww isn't it!
I've no real clue where I am as opks didn't detect anything this month it was my first month using them and now not sure why I bothered! I had lots of EWCM so just hoping the tests missed the peak and I did ovulate? If I did based on that symptom I'm probably 1/2/3 DPO at the moment. We didn't DTD enough this time (as I was sort of banking on the OPKs telling me when to!) so not sure much chance this month
