*:*:* July Testing Thread *:*:* 3 BFPs

Oh god I caved... and it was negative. I keep telling myself that my logic was sound:

a) I really don't know when AF is due
b) It's afternoon urine


So I should wait longer.... What an idiot >_<

Work out what your longest likely af date is and go from that . Fx xx

It was a frer... I just feel like I have had so many symptoms which are quite unusual for me and which also can be signs.... I thought that if the symptoms seemed that strong that they ought to be some detectable sign. I'm not going to get too despondent, will wait until Saturday and if no AF then I'll try again.

GGthenurse said it could be 4-6 weeks from mc to af, today is 4 weeks on the nose, so perhaps it's just too early.

Yes, it could well be.

We are all so very different aren't we. I ovulated 7 days after my mc stopped.

Sorry I've been away for a while ladies... Glad to see we got a few BFPs! I didn't have test dates for some of you? But I think I have the list updated. So sorry for you ladies who were caught by the witch, hopefully August will be a better month for all of us--witch got me too, but I knew she was coming. No more dtd, temps, opks, etc for a while for me.

Hi tbf I'm defeated. This is cycle 15 I've got AF (I started counting cycles when I started temping) and we've btnp since May of 2014. Beginning to think it's not going to happen, BUT I do plan on seeing a doctor to find out if anything is wrong before I completely give up. Just not going to stress myself or OH out anymore with opks and temps, etc. Time to just chill out for a minute.

I think stress plays a huge part so hopefully relieving the pressure will bring you your bfp!

Spotting this morning, pahhh.
No change there then, not even 28 days later....
Still got sore boobs and had terrible heartburn again last night.
At work all day so will see how it goes.
Hope everyone else is going strong xxx

Fx for you TT.... still no sign of AF for me this morning. Trying to disregard yesterday's bfn..it's not over till AF arrives after all.

It's just spotting so I'm keeping my fingers firmly crossed for you TT. Hope you're okay.

Yes, easy to get a bfn at this early stage, I wouldn't think too much into it. Xx

I'm a little panicking at the moment, AF was due yesterday but didn't come yet, test still positive today but a half an hour ago a had a some spoting. I'm a little panicking because last year had a miscarriage. What do you think, can it be just implantation bleeding?

How many dpo are you and how many days ago did you get your bfp?

 

[olupse]

I'm 15dpo and got my positive on Saturday at 12 dpo

It's still possible that your hcg level is low enough for your urine concentration to affect it, so try not to worry yet. If you're well hydrated now, but were a little dehydrated when you tested positive, that could easily explain it.

Wait a day or two, make sure you're not drinking too much and test again either first thing in the morning or after at least a 4 hour hold. xx

 

[olupse]

It was still positive this morning is the bleeding that concerns me

Do yourself a favour and don't test if there's even a hint of blood around as it can cause false negatives.

Spotting isn't always the end. It's quite normal for many women. You're so early, the only advice available is to wait and see. It's very very frustrating, but it's all you can do for now. So many of us have been or are in the same boat.

Fx for you xxx

It's hard to give any advice as varies from pregnancy to pregnancy, in still getting spotting but my lines on FRER getting darker and bleeding not like AF or increasing in flow. I do t think it's uncommon to get some light bleeding in pregnancy but if your worried call midwife or go and they might be able to do bloods x

With my first I had spotting from 5 weeks to 7 weeks and have a healthy little boy so spotting is not always a bad thing. It can just be the embryo getting itself nice and comfy.

I am trying to be positive as we dtd at the right times but I always expect disappointment. Still another 10 days till af due... I forgot how long the 2ww was.

It's excruciating right!

Yep and symptom spotting is the worst. I have IBS so many of the symptoms could be that or just normal monthly cycle as I only came off the pill in May so unsure of my cycle so far.

Think I might find an app to use like I did last time so at least I can work out what is normal and what might be something exciting.

Keep positive everyone.
