•••January 2021 tww & test thread•••

@Teafor2 nope I hardly ever spot and if I do it’s only a few hours before, my flow usually starts with bright red blood, and cramping without blood is pretty rare for me too ugh.

I had a lil more cramping this morning and now this afternoon my tailbone is killing me. Really wanted to just move on to the next cycle already

That really sucks. I hope it all sorts itself out soon.
 
So morning and fmu update.... and I am still seeing that shadow so I think maybe it’s just a little indent in the tests, if a normal person was reading the tests it would be a BFN because they wouldn’t obsess over it. Usually at 11dpo if I’m getting lines not shadows and I’d go for a CB or FRER but I am not so I am going to leave it, anyway as I say to all of you, you’re are not out till AF, so still a little bit of hope as I don’t really have PMS( now I am writing this I feel something) anyway I will try again with smu later and see, but it looks unlikely. I have posted the test so you can see ( I did two both have the same”shadow” but this test was a bit easier to capture on camera upload_2021-1-26_8-50-3.jpeg
 
Any updates @Tasha36089 @salamander91 @Lottielouf ? Hope af has stayed away :)

AF got me and I was so sure I was pregnant this time!

once that happens a tend to kind of run away for my own sanity but have been silently watching and sending baby dust to everyone and I’m so happy to see some BFPs this month :dance:

Trying EVERYTHING this cycle as long as OH makes it home in time...new prenatal supplements, maca for OH, conceive plus, clearblue digital O tests... no way is that egg getting away this time :shy:

I can definitely see a shadow line BUT you’re not out yet! Fingers crossed AF stays away x
 
@Mum42crazy i see a shadow! There is a lot of dye run on the test too, what brand is that? I would do a frer tomorrow of the next day if you still see something!!
 
Bit of an update...
I had an extremely emotional day... As I mentioned previously I’ve had very light spotting when I wiped since 8dpo ( a little bit watery pink but mainly brown sorry if TMI) so assumed IB. Especially as it has not got heavier and it’s actually now stopped. But today after got my BFN I went to toilet and when I wiped - red blood. Not heaps but enough for me to think my period had started.


Well the emotional roller coaster of ttc all hit me at that point and I cried and cried thinking it was all over for the month as I was sure I was pregnant ( I’m sure I’m not the first woman to think that!). The nausea which I’ve been having on and off for 4 days now, sore boobs with burning pain which I never get unless pregnant / breastfeeding and the days of spotting which I never get lead me to believe I was pregnant as well as other symptoms ( weird cramping different to usual pms, tiredness, peeing a lot more)

Well the plot thickens as since I wiped and seen red blood there’s been nothing more other than a teeny tiny bit of brown spotting since which has now stopped - So that’s it all day.


im so confused now as if it was AF it should have well and truly started by now. Guess all that’s left to do is keep waiting. I won’t work myself up into such a state again I’ve learnt my lesson. Stupid hormones!

I'm sorry you are going through limbo and not knowing what is going on, it's horrible waiting.
I hope you get some answers soon or a BFP! :hugs:

Quick update from me - saw the nurse this morning and I have a raw red ectropian cervix and also cysts on my cervix!..she said there is a possibility that that was causing my 'soreness' and spotting. My pee tested negative for infection. They sent away my pee, swabs and bloods to double check. Probably all the BD around O made me extra sore hence the UTI type feeling. That along with my sciatica and IBS made my pelvis very sore!
6DPO today and tested Wondfro and One Step - BFN.
 
Good luck with your next tests, I’m really hoping you have a sticky BFP too!

thanks!!! I am not going to test for a few days now so fingers crossed the next one is substantially darker.

Deffo IB!!

Hopefully that means it’s a very sticky baby??! I didn’t have anything like this with my first two babes

@wrapunzel EEEKK!! That looks very positive to me!!!

<3 thanks!!

That looks like a BFP! :bfp:

It’s pretty clear now that it’s dry!!

That really sucks. I hope it all sorts itself out soon.

I think it has hehe <3 hopefully.

Honestly hun this month taught me you truly never know lol even when you think you do. I have no clue when I ovulated to get this BFP... I swear I haven’t felt even the slightest thing that felt like ovulation since Jan 6th, and I had negative tests on the 18th, 20th, and 22nd except the 22nd had an even fainter shadow line than ur tests have... but I told myself to stop obsessing. You might be in for a sweet surprise!!

hugs. I’m sorry honey. If it helps you feel any better supposedly hCG does not start doubling until implantation. I started feeling pregnant soooo quick after my bleeding Sunday night, yesterday evening my boobs started to burn like u describe and this morning I'm finally queasy. So you might have had juuuust enough hCG for u to feel symptoms and not enough for ur tests to pick up? & tomorrow will be BFP day? fingers crossed for that outcome anyway!

I'm so sorry :hugs:
 
I should have stopped testing but I had one frer left. Today’s (15dpo) seems lighter than yesterday. Both are FMU. Yesterday I started having back pain, only on my lower left side and it’s freaking me out. Does today’s look lighter to everyone else?

View attachment 1093665
I did have this issue with frer with my last few kids due to the dye. But the right line looks lighter than 14dpo so I think your all good xx
 
So I hope this might be something but I am not going to hope, this was taken after the time but I could see it within the time @Suggerhoney did you get indents or evaps? So I’m hoping you can see what I can. I guess the coming days will tell!
Oh and sensitive nipples but that could just be the time of the month!!View attachment 1093674

I see this hun! Oh I pray this is it!
 
@salamander91 So frustrating about ovulation. Have you done any medication to encourage it?

@Deethehippy Glad you are getting everything checked out and it seems to be mostly okay

@ShanandBoc Good luck for the next test. I hope this is just implantation spotting for you.

I am 12 dpo and feeling like I’ll probably get af either tomorrow or the next day. Got some cheap tests today so I’ll test with FMU tomorrow, but I’m expecting a bfn

I had tests done by gynae in October but with covid I haven't had an appointment for my results yet unfortunately. The hospitals are just so busy there's a lot of delays.

Good luck testing tomorrow..sometimes it's when we least expect as Sugger and Rapunzel have proven!
 
@wrapunzel We did end up going back. Today was the first day and it was so nice seeing the kids again. I have such a great class this year and they were all so happy to be back. I don’t know how long we will be able to stay in person. For now I’ll be getting tested once a week as long as schools are open.

@salamander91 I hope you get your results soon!
