So it appears I posted the 1,000 message on our previous thread and now it's closed so I've opened us a new home!

@VNAWENN oooh exciting, well they have the early detection kits don't they so I'm sure that could pick up 11dpo. It's soooo hard waiting isn't it 😛 🤞🏽 for you xx

@Pinkfamily thanks you 😊 yes I have a stash of 10mIU HCG tests ready, they stare at me everyday from a little box beside my toilet 🤣

Yes thanks for the email @TimeIhadaNameChange it's really useful!!

Yep delivery arrived at lunch @Pinkfamily no positive OPK yet. Which is slightly surprising as I've got all the symptoms, but it may arrive tomorrow like natural cycles is predicting.

@VNAWENN haha your secret stash 😂😂
@LanieM87 it's so surreal having that big box isn't it.... considering how small the actual part we use is!!! Fingers crossed for your positive tomorrow, do you have it for five days ?

It really is! 😂 last time it was left on the kitchen table and then I just kept moving it around the house and eventually settled on leaving it in the spare room haha.
I'm gunna test again a bit later. I usually get my surge for a short period on an afternoon, so I'm positive i haven't missed it.
Yes I have it til the end of the week. So plenty of time!

Hi @Pinkfamily I’m really tired but didn’t sleep well last night and I do feel like I might be getting a cold (heavy eyes, sneezing and runny nose). Has the madness kicked in for you yet or are still sane?

Where did you get your sensitive HPT’s from @VNAWENN I need to get me a secret stash!! Although not sure who I’m keeping it secret from?! Hope you’re hanging in there.

That positive is in sight and everything is coming together at the right time @LanieM87 sounds like your month to me!

Your first @VNAWENN so you need to blaze the BFP trail for the rest of us!!

Morning everyone,

@Waiting2BAMummy I got my 10mIU tests from amazon, they are the Easy@Home brand xx

Well I'm CD 25/ 11 DPO. First test this morning shows nothing yet but I'm still early so think I will test twice a day from here on out, once with FMU then once in the afternoon. Still having some symptoms that make me think I may be and my temp is still showing high, but I'm not stressing about it. This journey will take me where it wants to go and I'm just along for the ride 🤣

Good luck to everyone waiting for your positive OPK's 🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼 xx

@Waiting2BAMummy the madness hasn't kicked in just yet...give it time 😂 lots of honey and lemon for you! There are so many bugs going round at the moment ☹️
@LanieM87 hopefully your positive will be this afternoon 🤞🏽🤞🏽🤞🏽
@VNAWENN what does 10mlU mean? Sorry!!! Shame about negative result but as you say only 10DPO so it's still fair game....I've never done the temp thing. What other symptoms are you having? Oooh this is all just so exciting, I'm so glad we are all going through it at similar times

Thanks @Waiting2BAMummy I really hope so! We are due some more good news on this thread!!

@Pinkfamily I'm hoping when I test when I get home that my positive will be there, TMI - I know but my cervix is high, soft and open so it's got to be today surely! I've had a temp dip this morning as well. Fingers crossed I'll be inseminating tonight. Then I'll be joining you on the 2WW!

Definitely not out yet @VNAWENN it's still pretty early for you! Good luck with your tests!

@Pinkfamily it's the sensitivity of the HCG in your urine. Most tests are 20/25mIU, so if you can find one at 10mIU it has a better chance of picking up your HCG level early on 👍🏼

I have very tender breasts, a strange sensation in my uterus and have had some nausea, all of which aren't normal for me but I'm trying not to get too over excited 😬

@LanieM87 thanks, I'll just keep trying 🤞🏼

Good luck everyone xxx

I just got my Progesterone levels back for day 21, it was at 28. So I definitely ovulated 😁😁😁 anyone know more about progesterone levels? Is that a good number?

I need advice everyone. I just felt my stomach "flip" followed by a sharp stabbing pain to the left side of my uterus, it lasted about 5-10 minutes and it has left me with a slight burning sensation and some full backache.

Does this sound like implantation???
I'm at 11 DPO

Xxxx

Could be @VNAWENN if so your HCG levels should be high enough in a couple of days to test. Fingers crossed this is it for you x

@Waiting2BAMummy eeeeeekkkk 😬 thank you xxx

That sounds very positive @VNAWENN !! Keep us all updated and I'll have everything crossed! I can't help with progesterone levels in afraid, I know nothing about that!

Still no static smiley. The lines on the clear blue and IC are darker then yesterday though! I'm gunna test again in a few hours. It's strange as I don't normally get any lines on OPK until the day of my surge.

Fingers crossed it’s on it’s way @LanieM87 your body is waiting for the perfect moment to make this your month.

I hope so!! @Waiting2BAMummy tomorrow is my deadline. Come on smiley face!

@LanieM87 good luck for your smiley face today 🤞🏼 xxxx

Test this morning was negative, but if what I felt yesterday was implantation, then hopefully tomorrow I may see a faint line 🤞🏼 xxx

@LanieM87 did you get your smiley face yet? 🤞🏽
@VNAWENN ah I see, as I say I'm still hoping to hold out to test the whole TWW, but we shall see. Otherwise I may get one of those! Have you tested again this morning? ☺️
@Waiting2BAMummy are you feeling any better? Xx

@Pinkfamily yes tested again this morning and it was negative, but I felt a very strange feeling yesterday afternoon that may have been implantation??? So we shall see what my test bring up in the next few days 🙏🏼😬

It went as quick as it came @Pinkfamily. I’m feeling pretty crampy today and yesterday but based on the LP I had last month AF is due on Tuesday so getting a cramps a week before is not unusual for me. The only thing I have noticed is that the cape I’m wearing at work (it’s freezing in my office) has some serious static when I take it off to go to the toilet. This is unusual and I’ve googled it (obviously) and a few posts from women say that they noticed an increase in static electricity before their BFP though I am in no way getting my hopes up. How are you feeling?

Any sign of your static @LanieM87?

If you did implant yesterday @VNAWENN today would be too early to get a positive opk but I do appreciate it’s still disappointing to see that negative. Good luck.

@Waiting2BAMummy have you tested yet?

It is frustrating but I just want to see either way 🤣

Noooo @VNAWENN way too early I’m only 6dpo!

@Waiting2BAMummy ooooo my fingers are crossed for you xxxx

So my static arrived this morning which is unheard of for me.

I got panicked last night and ended up doing my insemination at half 10 last night. I'd taken another IC and that was lighter then the ones I'd taken earlier.

I'd had lower pelvic pain all day yesterday and it's lasted into today. I've taken it to be ovulation related but who really knows any more.

There's a chance I've jumped the mark but I was just hoping that ovulation was imminent and at least the sperm should have been there waiting when the egg was released.

I took another clear blue when I got in today, the reader has been a bit dodgy this cycle, so it didn't give me a reading but the two blue lines were fairly strong, my IC was lighter then yesterday, so who knows which I should believe, my temp also rose this morning.

It could honestly go either way I think at the moment! I do wish I'd gone for two vials so I could have covered myself today as well, I think I'll do that next month if I'm unsuccessful this cycle. What will be will be!

Anyway - sorry for the long post! Hope you all are doing well.
