Praying u have a very healthy and happy 9 months.

@Lozb
I see it hon. Hope this is finally it for you

@TTCaredhead
Great positive OPK good luck.

I am wide awake. I really should try sleep as I have work again early (do 13 hour shifts). Can’t tell if I feel bad from nervous worry or early symptoms. I feel hot, nausea/heartburn, and strange dream woke me up like I was in pain in my dream. Also get sensation I need a BM but I don’t. I really Jst dnt feel myself.

Congratulations ! @Wish4rainbow

My cycle has been wonky since we’ve started trying I don’t know what to expect , anyone gotten pregnant with a long cycle ? Like 35 days or longer

My cycles are stupid long. Before getting pregnant with my first my cycles were 37, 38, 36 and 40 days. It was very very frustrating TTC with long cycles because every time AF came I knew I was 5+ weeks away from testing again

CD20 and 3DPO

 

[Sander]

5dpo, having some cramping and (tmi) loose bm which is always a good sign in my TWW, but not a for sure thing. Planning on taking a test on Sunday

My boobs are sooo sore. They seem to be almost throbbing at points. I don't recall this from any previous cycles, they often get sore around this time but it's a lot more this go around. It's probably nothing because our bodies just like to mess with us! 9dpo and I might test later today. Tested with a cheapie yesterday and of course BFN.

 

[elencor]

Not sure when ovulation happened but I must be anywhere between 5 and 10 dpo, took a cheapie and of course bfn. I don't have a good feeling about this month anyway, opks behaved very weirdly. Cycle #14 trying so... Very discouraged

 

[sallyhansen76]

CD 10 for me, impatiently awaiting O now.
Anywhere between cd 12 and 15 usually.

 

[Sander]

Sounds like a good sign Alligator! Post your test here when you take it so we can all squint at it

Sorry for the bfn elencor, could for sure be too early still. I hate it when OPK’s aren’t clear! Hoping this is your month

Hope O comes soon Sally!

With my daughter I got my first vvvvvfl at 8 dpo, so tomorrow I'll start squinting at blank tests because it's 7dpo and I'm crazy... really I tell myself every time I could have just flushed money directly down the toilet with all those tests I'm peeing on...

 

[Nima]

@Alligator thinking of you, hope it becomes easier at home

 

[Alligator]

Took a test on a 3-4h hold at 9dpo, nothing much to look at but here it is!! I tweaked it and thought I saw something but I’m sure it’s nothing. It’s quite early anyway. Having some brief on/off cramps today which could be good or could be nothing! My Boobs are so weirdly sore, so unusual.

 

[elmum]

@Alligator ! My cycle twin! I believe I am 9dpo today and boobs are so sore! I’m really hoping it’s a good sign for us both. When did you get a positive on an IC with your daughter? I’m feeling impatient lol

 

[Sander]

Nima I always start at 8dpo too - I’ve taken one at 6dpo before

Alligator are those the new easy@home strips that are super wide? I just opened a case of those today and was surprised by how giant they were. I could also clearly see the test indents so that’s great lol.

 

[Shezza84uk]

I had BFP, I used Sainsbury’s cheap test which gave me BFN I’m due on at some point this week but I asked my husband to get the CB digital and its positive!

It took forever! Not until 14dpo! So I don’t know why I’m expecting a line early LOL. I had a faint line on a FRER at 10dpo (not until the evening though). A faint but clear line at 11dpo morning, then took DAYS for IC to go positive!!

They are! I actually noticed the same on this test but once I dipped in pee I didn’t see it anymore!! Or maybe it was a trick of the light!

 

[Nima]

BFN today, but that's really early. I'm glad to know that in about a week I'll know for sure.

It's such an emotional rollercoaster, testing, waiting, squinting, throwing to the garbage and digging it up after 2 hours just to squint some more lol..

How amazing would it be if it just worked out quickly this time around. We worked so long and hard on our first, so I don't really expect it to be easy.

I was getting faint lines on frer from 9-10dpo I’m now 15dpo with positive digitals and still barely a shadow on the ic tests!!!
