As of 1:45AM (my time), a BFN. No signs of the witch though, let's hope it stays that way.

Not out till she shows hunni!!! 😘😘 xxx

 

[lennie86]

Fingers crossed hun. Sometimes you dont get bfp until a day or 2 after af....ans for some, ive read its a week or two! Hope you dont have to wait long x

How are you melly? Anything changed? Xxxx

 

[Melly41]

No changes today. Im at work so not sure if mind distracted or maybe just imaging things as had more time to think as i was off! Had a bit of creamy cm yesterday but dont feel anything today and im now 4dpo. How about you? Any other symptoms apart from the abundance of cm? Are you now 8fpo? Exciting wont be long x

Oh melly am thinking of you , I've only just surfaced out of bed cm still there slight head ache this morning
Cramps have gone more gas now , 8dpo today yes not feeling confident am just in two minds to wait till the 27th instead of testing in 5 days xxx

 

[Melly41]

I am going to try and hold out...partly because my af usually shows up early. Or it has the last couple of months. If I tested on cd24 (which would be 26th as cycles are 24 days) not even sure hcg would pick it up as this would not have been enough time for implantation potentially! I would only be 8dpo at that point! So I reckon it would be too early.....it's been quite hard to get my head around it! Back from work now....hooray! No other signs apart from a mild headache but that is definitely work related!

As for testing...see how you feel..you might decide to do a sneaky one before 27th but make sure you keep us posted! X

Found this on another site which I though was quite helpful in term s of when is the best time to test....
HCG LEVELS IF PREGNANT

Days Past Ovulation Typical hCG Level
Less than 5 DPO 1-2 mIU
5 DPO 2-5 mIU
6 DPO 4-10 mIU
7 DPO 8-20 mIU
8 DPO 10-25 mIU
9 DPO 15-30 mIU
10 DPO 20-50 mIU
12 DPO 40-100 mIU
16 DPO 200-400 mIU
20 DPO 220-800 mIU

So if testing early at 8dpo getting the most sensitive test if recommended. Even then the accuracy is much lower than if you test at 10dpo.

Going luck to everyone else testing this week or over the weekend

I got some cramping starting up in my lower left side of my belly, but still not usually where my AF cramps are. Going to the dr today for my hoo-ha itchiness. It only itches in the evening time, then goes away by the time I wake up. But its enough to keep me up at night. That can't be happening....

 

[lennie86]

Okay girls

After scouting the Internet about the Opks Vs Hpt

If the opk can detect pregnancy before the hpt I have been tracking mine this time not only for that but myself as am kinda confused any....
They carry the same just a different hat apparently

So if I do get my bfp this time round I'll share my findings because apparently opks can detect the rise before hcg takes over this is what I wanted to test so since my peak on 8days ago all my opks have been positive up until today if am right in thinking after implantation hcg takes over which would then cause the opks to be negative right? Xx

I do think am out again this month .... so I've ordered more opks and a new battery to try bbting but also booked it for cycle day 3 blood test to follow 26 days just to check if I am ovulating properly xxx

 

[Melly41]

You're not out yet Hun....why do you think you are out? Are you having any other symptoms? Fingers crossed you're wrong and af doesn't show and you get your BFP. The symptoms you've been having are consistent with implantation and early pregnancy.

I've bought some tampax today as I reckon my af will show up Thursday or Friday!

Oh no......whats happened to our positive thinking! .

Sending you some and a

Melly I just don't know that witch is a strong en! .... I've had a surpt of energy today now am sat here twinge cramps again! Urggghh... but I've started to crave a little chocolate and that usually happens before af! But I've only had one bar usually am eating chocolate all day just feeling out I dunno xx

 

[Melly41]

I had sore boobs last month which is really unusual for me before af so thought it was a good sign but af showed....I suppose you never can tell! Are your cramps af cramps or different? I'm not really having any symptoms....I wish I was either way so I can read in to things a bit more.....probably incorrectly! But at least I would have something to focus in! My pms symptoms don't usually happen until the day of my af so don't really have anything to go on at the moment.....just preparing myself as, like you Hun, have a feeling I might out! My temperature has also plateaued rather than kept rising! Let's hope we are wrong and we can laugh about this in a few days if we're not wrong, at last we can try and have some fun during ovulation week and SS on the forum with each other

Lennie, I also crave chocolate before AF. I haven't yet though. I did yesterday, buy when I ate it, it didn't taste right. We had spaghetti last night and the garlic stayed on my breath ALL night. It was making me sick, but then it went away lol I felt like I was sweating out garlic. Ugh. I'm currently waiting to be seen by the dr for my hoo-ha. Maybe I'll get the courage to ask for a blood test I'm so anxious.

[lemur9]

Lennie and Melly, stop it ladies. You are not out yet. Keep up the faith, don't lose hope just yet!

 

[Melly41]

Thanks lemur. I'm trying to stay positive but feel a bit grumpy today so wonder if she is around the corner! How long you going to leave it before you test again? Fingers crossed for you Hun x sending lots of I hope your doctors appointment goes ok.....definitely ask for a blood test, you might as well. Anxiety might delay your af so keep relaxed, you'll find out soon x

Good! Stay positive I'm trying to be positive for all of us lol

As I suspected, I have a UTI. She is putting me on baby friendly antibiotics, just in case. They did a urine test, negative, but of course its too early so she said to come back next week if the witch doesn't show up to take another test. If that one is negative then they will do a blood test. I won't test again until Thursday if still no AF. There WAS some more pink today though! Usually when she arrives, its brown and then dark red. Only light pink so far.
