As suggested, because so many of us on the other thread, shall we have a little roll call?

Welcome @LunarBear !

@Bas27 I'm due on the 26th of January and I'm wondering if I'll go into February 😂

@LunarBearthats very restrained of you! I have had AF like cramps with all of my pregnancies. With my first they were so severe I ended up in the EPU. Everything was fine - I’m just a wuss.
@SureLookyoure welcome if you want to join? Due to medical condition I would need a c section at 39 weeks which would put me in January 🤷🏻‍♀️

Thanks @Bas27 I'll hold out for now. I don't wanna get too ahead of myself by joining two due date groups 🙈😂

@SureLookthanks 😊

@Bas27oh wow really? I guess you just never know until either AF appears or the BFP. I'll try not to give up hope completely this cycle. It's my first cycle since coming of BC that I feel normal haha

Welcome @LunarBearthat’s impressive you’ve avoided buying tests and testing. Good idea not to have them in to avoid the urge

@LunarBear I’ve had cramps every time I’ve been pregnant, very very similar to period cramps!

@Bumblebee1984it's definitely not easy that's for sure! The wait is awful!

Helloo ladies!

I think I have a BFP! CD27, 13DPO, AF meant to be due tomorrow. I’ve been testing (multiple) times a day up to this point and all been negative so was beginning to doubt! Holding it lightly, hoping it sticks 🤍

@NiftySheep I can see a line but I can't see anything colour. Does it have colour in real life? The tests never photograph great!

Yes a bit of colour but still quite faint!

@NiftySheep great! Will you test again tomorrow or in a couple of days?

I reckon everyday 😅 period is super consistent so reckon that’ll be a good indicator too!

Absolutely bricking it for my scan today, I so hope everything is as it should be 🥰

@NiftySheepthat looks positive to me
@ttcjourney20001good luck for the scan today

@NiftySheeplooks positive to me too!
@ttcjourney20001good luck!!! Everything crossed for you

@NiftySheep haha! Keep the pics coming!

@ttcjourney20001 best of luck!

Good luck @ttcjourney20001 let us know how it goes! ❤️

Good luck @ttcjourney20001for the scan today

@NiftySheeplooks positive to me too

Tested again this morning and it was negative :( I know i’m still so early a didn’t even confirm when I ov’d so i still have time but it just feels like it will never happen for me

Baby in the right place, growing as should be measuring dead on 8wks1d, so progressing nicely. Heartbeat nice and strong. Cramping due to trapped gas the technician saw on the ultrasound, and my womb is inverted so it’s trying to turn itself around. But all looking perfect she said. EDD 30/12/25 xx

Beautiful @ttcjourney20001 ! ❤️❤️❤️

Tested again a got a faint line! I feel like it’s just dye run but I guess we’ll see if it progresses :)

@am44asorry if I’ve missed this. Did you say you’re not sure on dpo? Is it worth testing with a frer? Cheapie tests are great - ive been using them for line progression - but I just feel like there’s so much uncertainty when using them!

This is a better photo of it I think

@Bas27Hi yeah i’m pretty sure i’m around 7,8 or 9dpo ish. Im going to order some other tests when im due on in a few days as it kinda upsets me when I spend a lot on tests an they’re negative x
