******** April 2018 Testing Thread ********

Still no AF. Im confused. I got a NEGATIVE Clear Blue test this afternoon....and I was convinced that may be my BFP. 😣
Is it possible to still not show, 2 days late?

It is absolutely possible although probably less likely than just a cycle playing up based on what I've seen on here.

Try to hold off testing more than every other day if you can as if it's a delayed BFP then hcg doubles every 48 hours I believe.

Good luck xx

Does anyone else chart their BBT and have any advice with my chart?? It's only my second month of charting and this month's post ovulation looks very different to last month's when I wasn't pregnant! What do you guys think?? Possible implantation dip yesterday??

Hi guys. I've decided that next month I'll start using OPKs, as this month has thrown me totally off. Do the cheap ones off of eBay actually work? Or am I better off buying the Clearblue ones?

This tww is unbearable! I’ve been having twinges in both my ovaries and light cramping. I had a few spots of blood in my cm on Monday (8dpo) but nothing since. I’m really hoping it was ib but I know it’s unlikely. The worst thing is I’m at home this week on study leave as it’s my final exam tomorrow. It means I’m alone with my thoughts all day and it’s sending me crazy!

Anyone else symptom spotting yet?

I know how it feels being at home with your own thoughts!! Torture isn't it?!

I really hope this is it for you!

Can't wait to see more BFPs!

I’ve been symptom spotting the whole time so far, had everything under the sun apart from any spotting, but now I have no symptoms at all, FRER test yesterday morning was a BFN which was 10dpo I think but I did have positive opk for three days who knows but no symptoms of AF yet which I am sure is going to grace me with it’s presence with avengance by the end of the week.

If it makes you feel better, I didn't have any symptoms at all before I got my positive last time. 10dpo is still really early to test, you aren't out until the witch shows!

eBay? I wouldn't buy off of eBay. I buy the cheap ones off of Amazon. They work for me.

Someone please give me a slap! I am 5dpo today and i took a test. Stupid i know. BFN. I know it's way too early, but testing made me feel instantly better for 5 mins then worse when it was negative. Haha! When is the earliest i should test?

The SOONEST would be 8 DPO, but even better is anything after 10 DPO.

It's ok, we've all been there! I think I've done plenty of stupid dpo tests too! You're not alone

I did exactly the same lol! And just thought what an idiot I am for wasting money! But felt good to POAS. I did it again at 10dpo but still bfn so am now waiting for AF to put me out of my misery. Mind you just had the strangest phone call from my mum, she was like are you ok? I was like fine, she said are you feeling unwell? I was like no, and she continued to then ask me if my period was ok this week? .... I moved out over a decade ago, how does she still know my cycle lol!! She doesn’t even know we are trying.

I tested earlier this morning and I would like to think I saw a very very VERY faint line and can't see it in a picture..

I have no idea how many DPO I am but I've been feeling queasy with some mild cramping since about Feb 27th.. I tested with a FRER and I am pretty sure my husband saw the line too!!

If I count my bleeding from the chemical as day 1, I am on CD 33... I really didn't want to test until the 9th, however, I have a colonoscopy scheduled and they don't recommend doing it if you are pregnant.. so here I am...

Oh! Hopefully this is it for you, lots of people do fall quickly after a chemical. Hopefully it will get darker over the weekend so you know before your colonoscopy x

Oh hun that would be great if you get your BFP!! We both had our chemicals at the same time so seems we're fairly synced! I'd love to have you as my Xmas baby buddy

Nearly April!

Looking forward to some good sticky beans all round!

xx

Ooooo lots of Christmas babies ... I like the sound of that!!

My mums bday is on Xmas day... she hates having to share it with everyone celebrating Xmas I’m sure she’d hate it if I had an Xmas baby too!

Hmmm.. never really thought of it like that! I bet it’s not great having your birthday on Christmas Day is it. Although, I’m going to have to be selfish with this one because if I do get my BFP an my ovulation am timing is correct. Due date would be Christmas Eve! I did have my last two 3 an half weeks and two weeks early so due dates aren’t really relevant for me haha.

Still be a lovely present for you and your DH 😆

Yep i really don’t care when my due date is, i just wish this tww would hurry up. Half way through today... I’m sure time stands still in the tww!!

Time does stand still.. it’s awful!! Plus no symptoms at all... only 5DPO though I suppose. Any closer to testing?
