Congratulations to all of those with BFPs :love:

Our first cycle of TTC number 2 was a write off because my son brought home norovirus from nursery bang on in my fertile week :ROFLMAO:
Gotta love the timing of those kids!! But I hope he’s ok.
I’m 11 DPO & took a cheapy test with a big angry BFN. so I’m counting myself as out. Really went for it this month so I’m a bit gutted.
 
Been feeling so whacko this month so tested tonight and BFP. Now absolutely shitting myself because it’s only been 40 days since my period and I don’t know how I could have possibly ovulated already when my cycles are usually up to 68 days long. Line is super dark too which seems even more suss. Have horrible health anxiety anyway and googled and found in super rare cases it can be a false positive from dodgy growths etc. Realistically I know I’ve potentially had early pregnancy symptoms so it would make sense, but I just can’t get my head around how it possibly could have happened with all my hormonal conditions/crazy cycles. I’m such a mess :(

I tested on a whim really thinking even if I was, it wouldn’t show as I’m too far before AF. Although I guess in theory I could have been destined for a shorter one this month. That’s the problem I can never tell.

Get a clear blue digi with the weeks indicator to give you a rough guide for scope ☺️ If it’s 3+ for example that means you’re 5 weeks pregnant- you could always then call your local EPU and explain about your cycles and then could do an early scan in a week to roughly guide you.
Congratulations!

Bless you I’m in the same boat with weird cycles! My cycle can vary from 33-49 days and a few days ago at CD29 (6 days before period) I got a clear positive too! I wasn’t expecting it so early but I’ve been feeling symptoms for a week now
 
I'm currently 9dpo on month 5 of trying.

My only symptom so far is being in a foul mood, but that might be down to being on holiday in a caravan with a husband, a 5 year old and 2 naughty dogs 😂

When I was packing I decided not to bring my stash of cheapy tests, stupidly thinking I wouldn't even think about testing. WRONG! It's all I can think about, even though my sensible side keeps trying to remind me that I probably wouldn’t get a result this early anyway.

I was talking to my Husband last night about how they put the fear of God into us at school, that we would get pregnant just from looking at a boy. Turns out the reality is a bit different eh?
 
I’m after getting my period 4 days early, so that leaves me with a 10 day luteal phase which is too short. I got bloods done with the doctor a few months ago & she said all was normal but will have to follow up with her now for a plan. I’m 36 so times a ticking for me.
 
We are on cycle 2 after my miscarriage. CD10 now and I’ve started doing my OPKs today. I’m using the pre mom ones for the first time instead of the clear blue digital. Got a low (0.17) which was expected. Last cycle my peak was CD15 so we’ll see what happens over the next few days I guess. Hope everyone is okay 🤍
 
I’m 7dpo today (or roughly round there, unless my body decides to go for another attempt at ovulation) I’ve been feeling kinda weird. Cramps similar to af, and pulling sensations started at 5dpo, which is too soon for anything but it’s possible I’m more than 7dpo. Ive had the odd sharper shooting type cramps. Feeling a bit waffy, this morning I felt like my whole body was jelly even after eating. And I am SO bloated.
I realise I’m probably going mad and it’s all in my head. But this cycle just feels different for some reason, or maybe I’m just trying to manifest that I’m pregnant 🙃.

Keep manifesting!!! Positive thoughts help. xx

I've had some weird symptoms this month similar to the above and I'm getting lower middle cramps now. I got a BFN yesterday and today. Think I'm around 10dpo today. Hope I'm not out already...! 😥

I had a wobble as I can't remember what my symptoms were like back in June... but I didn't get my BFP until 14dpo which then disappeared a week later. Hoping I can get a late BFP still....

You’re not out until Af shows lovely! Best of luck to you xx
 
Managed to jump OH last night, and going away today and tomorrow so hopefully we’re timing it right 🤞🏻.

TMI sex talk coming up…
Does anyone else find it really hard to balance whether to tell your OH when you’re fertile or not? I try not to tell him because it puts too much pressure on him to perform and he can experience ED at times anyway, but this morning he was asking for me to go down on him and I had to try and subtly/sexily decline 🤣

He is fine it was me who got it the worst typically.

It sucks seeing a BFN doesn’t it, I don’t think you need to give up hope on this cycle just yet though. I had BFN on 11dpo and then faint line on 12dpo with my son. I’ll keep my fingers crossed for you.

I tend not to talk about ovulation with my OH because in 4 years he’s only ever not been in the mood 1 time when I’ve suggested so he’s always up for it 🤣 it is a bit awkward trying to keep things hot when I know where he’s got to finish and he’s more interested in oral😂😂

I try not to tell him because the pressure gets to him but when I am initiating that frequently it’s fairly obvious!!
 
Has anybody ever found out they’re pregnant but had no symptoms at all?
I was about 8 weeks when I found out. My period had been getting later and later each month for some reason so wasn't too surprised when it was late. I felt sick constantly for about a week but there had been a tummy bug going round the office so figured it was that and then eventually I tested.

We've started trying for our second, feel a lot more anxious this time round 🤷🏻‍♀️
 
Has anybody ever found out they’re pregnant but had no symptoms at all?
Yup, it was 5 years ago now, I had given up hope as it was the month before starting IVF but my period was just.... late..... that's all. Maybe then my boobs grew a bit and by week 7 I felt sick. None of this desperate "symptom spotting" I do now

Anyway, HUGE CONGRATULATIONS to everyone who got a BFP this month, let's hope it's catching!! ❤️
