Oh I’m sorry hun.
Maybe it was a chemical but then I don’t trust those cheapies xx

Thank you yeah they aren’t great. They worked when I had my son instantly they picked up the pregnancy but they were better colour than these ones. Going to get some frer from amazon use them in the future x

Told my best friend I tested this morning and got a BFN! (Not due on til Tuesday but it was a frer so I think I’m out)
She said it’s stupid of me to test all the time, I said I should have waited til Tuesday but that I need to test every month to know if I’m moving onto the next cycle or not especially as my periods are so light they could be mistaken for implantation. She just doesn’t get it. Said I’m wasting my money.
She’s never tried for a baby so she doesn’t know the process or how it feels but I just feel a bit put out you know? I know I’m being dramatic but I just wish she understood!

I know what you mean but honestly, if someone’s never been on this journey they really do not get it. People think it’s the same for everyone and you just fall pregnant quickly without really thinking about it then sail through pregnancy. I stopped even discussing it with anyone a long time ago as I knew they did not know where I was coming from at all. I hope you’re ok x

I prefer to test because it helps me mentally prepare for af. Someone who has never been through it will never understand, I experienced a similar thing last week when my friend announced she was pregnant with her 3rd and how they got pregnant first time every time... even though they know how long we’ve been at this.

I try not to tell people about testing early though, even some long term tryers don’t get it but everyone needs different things to get through this.

Ugh, I've started spotting this morning, watery and pink. I'm 11-12 dpo so keeping my fingers crossed still that it's implantation and not AF showing her ugly head. I'm not sure what to make of the spotting yet, I'm due in the next couple of days, but I already have slight cramping, which I don't normally get till the first couple of days of AF being in full swing (when I start it's like floodgates being opened), and my AF cramps are normally excruciating.
I've done a test but pretty sure it's negative, the faintest of faint lines, so faint I'm sure it's an evap line, but if it is implantation bleeding then I wouldn't get a positive yet anyway right?

If it was implantation then I wouldn’t expect for you to get a positive for a few days but that’s not to say it’s not possible.

I’ve had the lightest spotting ever (just a brown tinge to cm and when I wipe a little brown) since 4dpo so I’m pretty sure I’m out but you do hear stories of ladies spotting and getting positives so I still have a little foolish hope!

9dpo today and the urge to test is already creeping in.

I'm the same @SugaryIris, I'm only 4dpo and the urge to test is so strong and I know it's way to early. I'm definitely a pee on a stick addict.

Your not out till AF arrives. Sending baby bust xx

Does AF normally come on 14DPO? Are you certain that you ovulated when you did? Fingers crossed it isn't AF appearing for you hun.
If it was implantation its very unlikely that you will be showing a positive on a test already, you would normally get a positive a few days after. Good luck x

Try your hardest to hold off testing, you wont of even implanted yet even if you was going to end up pregnant this cycle.
I suppose every woman is different though, i would hate to keep seeing negatives on a test if i was to start testing this early. I never test unless AF is late and that's what i prefer. x

 

[SockVortex]

I’m only on CD25 but my boobs have been hurting for a week already No idea when AF is due this cycle but I hope it comes soon so I can actually roll over in bed without being in pain x__x

I am gonna try hard not to. I got a BFP on 8dpo with my DD

You must have ovulated early this cycle hun.
I hope the boob pain is a good sign for you x

 

[C.hall.pcos]

Still here still popping on to have a check for all the BFP! On cycle day 49 here no sign of af at all, no sign of ovulation at all. Praying I balance out again soon and can join in the September testing! Xx

6DPO today.
I haven't actually been keeping track, i just had to look at my app to check which day i was. I am not sure why i am this relaxed but i quite like it haha.
Maybe its because i am not expecting much as we are waiting on the results for both of our latest tests and i am just so use to AF arriving now that i think what is the point getting excited. Who knows!! xx
