***September 2018 Testing Thread***

Ladies with their BFPs, any of you notice an increase in bowel movements after ovulation? I hadn't been a toilet for over 2 days last week, then finally went on Saturday night (4-5DPO), then ever since it's been much more frequent, I usually only go once a day but now it's more like three times a day?! x
 
Hahahaha becuase im too scared I will see a blank window :( my period staying away is enough to keep me going atm hehe but I will probably test tomorrow morning! If the line was darker then I would be more confident! But I mean look at it... it’s sooooooo light!!!!!

Yea but that will get darker in time. Mine were so faint even my oh was like 'really' - he bought me two tests from boots just like the one in the pic and he could hardly see the line and that was, i think the day of my missed period - it was an afternoon wee as well and i was drinking a lot of water as i was sooo thirsty, but a line is a line :dance:

It is scary though, every time i tested i was so nervous, even when i did the digi.x

Were yours as faint as mine? I’m 1 day late now I thought mine should just be so much darker already so that’s why I’d rather wait but I will test in the morning :) did you have period pains around the time you were due on? Xx

Emma... I started going more like twice a day from about a week ago xx

The morning cheapies were darker, but were all different and some people dont get strong lines until a few days after AF was due. I just cant believe you have held back from testing :shock: ignorance is bliss i suppose.

At 6dpo, when implantation happened, that was the one and only time i had what felt like period pains, didnt feel much after that iirc, a few twinges here and there but nothing like i would normally get if af was coming, which would usually be hunched over on the toilet floor :lol:

Fx it does get darker, one tomorrow morning will defo improve if you are pregnant as it takes a good 48 hours to really increase <3

Oooh thanks, hopefully this is a positive sign then! x

Nothing really changed for me in that department, i had a funny tummy and you know what at 3dpo, but that was it. They do say a lose tummy is a sign though, so fx :dust:

When will you be testing?x
 
Thanks.

I might brave it and test tomorrow when I will be 9-10DPO, not sure whether to wait until Friday though! x

You had a small amount of creamy CM at around 6DPO didn't you? Was it cream/yellow in colour and little bit thicker than watery CM? I had this at 5-6 DPO. x
 
I just had so much creamy watery cm that it was dripping out of me into the loo!!! On that note... enjoy your lunch ladies :rofl:

:rotfl:

I never had CM when I got BFP with my daughter, just small thick creamy CM at 4DPO and then watery CM at 10DPO. Having that same CM at 5DPO this cycle combined with the bleed is giving me hope! X
 
i have just worked out when i will be testing as tomorrow is my 1-2DPO and 12DPO is the 1st October..... firstly sorry ladies i am not leaving this thread to go over to October, i don't want to leave you all so please ignore this fact ahah! and secondly 1st October is my OH's birthday, how amazing to give him a :bfp: xx

Yep iirc it was around that time (will check my journal) and it was like a gollop of it x

Thanks for this lol :rofl:

Wee update from me, so 14dpo and still stark white tests, but no sign of :witch: either. Have caved and bought First Response to test with tomorrow as hoping it may be more accurate and have seen some negative reviews about the IC's I have been using.

Had tiny amount of spotting when I wiped earlier (literally a few drops, sorry TMI) which I have never had before but could it be implantation bleeding or is it too late for this? I had cramping last week from Weds to Sat and thought that was maybe implantation??? Am very confused lol.

Either way I will know by Friday afternoon (clinic in the morning) but even then the waiting has well and truly surpassed the agonizing stage :wall2:

So this was my journal:

6 dpo and actually, its not going as slow as i thought it would, thank god.

I had a small bit of cm last night, funny how these sorts of 'fluids' all show at the same time in the evenings - very strange. I haven't ever really noticed this before, but this might be because i am now overly aware of these things now. When i say small, i am talking like the size of a one 1p coin, but thats usually the same amount for ewcm but i really notice a lot more ewcm over a few days, so will be interesting to see if i have any more cm tonight.

Annoying lower back pain / ache since driving to work this morning, which i never really get - only ever now and then when AF is here, but thats it, so i am really noticing it. Sight headache and tired, the tired thing isnt unusual as i always joke i am tired but usually in the summer months i am up and ready to go when my alarm goes off, but the last few days have been a struggle and them i am yawning at work - the only reason why i think this is more strange is because i didnt have a booze filled weekend, which means i am catching up with sleep for the rest of the week, but also sometimes if i sleep too much i am overly tired - so who knows with that one, its just something i am more aware of atm
 
:pompom: BFPs!!!! Congratualtions!!!! I am made up for you both and excited to hear how others still to test will get on this month. Feels like it's been a long month!

I'm CD7 and have stomach pains, light ones. I've not really lost the cramps since my period and it was enough to make me wonder what's going on. Only difference is a vitamin I started taking a couple of days ago, unless that isn't agreeing with me, who knows.

OPKs for the fun of it, light and negative. Took the pic and put in the fem app and have a couple of temps now as well. I'm really interested to see if temps show anything although I appreciate it will take a while to get data. I love data. such a nerd :shock:

got to BD all over the weekend as I think I'm due to Ov on Monday. OH best get his pants off!
:bedjump:
