***January 2020 Testing Thread***

[Lightning7]

I'm sorry lightning. Your chart was looking really good. Have you seen a doctor about it?

No I haven't, as this is the first month I have used OPKs and tracked my BBT so I didn't actually know how short my LP was. I knew I had short cycles but had just assumed I would be ovulating earlier but my cycles seem to be getting another day shorter every couple of months so I might book a visit with the doctor!

This time was only a 23 day cycle which is my shortest yet they have gone from 28 days 11 months ago when I first got my periods back after DS to 24/25 days and now 23!

So sorry Lightning... hopefully a doctor can help get you back on track.

10DPO here and got a BFN this morning. AF due in 3 days. Possibly too early to test? I haven't had any of my usual AF symptoms like headaches and breast tenderness. So far just a bit of bloating in the evenings, seems to be gone in the morning and back again by the afternoon/evening... been happening for about 3 days. Temperature spiked this morning, went from 36.41-36.61 over the last day, good sign?

Anyone else get BFN at 10DPO and then it becomes a positive? I feel like if it was going to be positive I'd have seen something.

Hi ladies. I’m trying to stay positive and remove that “Today I am pregnant.” But I woke up feeling less symptoms and my test looks lighter today. Who knows? If it doesn’t work this time we’re moving on to Clomid to try to release more eggs and give us a higher chance of “getting a good one.”

 

[Joannaxoxo]

Hmmohrma - good luck, hopefully the lines will darken for you.

I've also finally figured out how to add my BBT chart to my signature. I'm hoping my temp spike this morning is a good sign. Even with a BFN today at 10DPO.

Still early. You might still have a BFP coming.

Laurabecca cramping and tinges can totally be normal. Darkening lines are good sign. Have you called your doctor yet?

Apparently it's quite common to get later BFP's - they say that implantation can be anywhere from 6 to 12 days after O so you could just be early - I don't do temps but I assume that yours are looking good. Good luck!

Just started my 2 week wait. Fingers crossed for baby #5!

AF due today. I’ve got cramps so slightly worrying, tests dark this morning but can’t help but worry!

Girl I was the same on the 10 when AF was due but now I’m 4 days late!

 

[Skyye]

Thank you ladies so much. I get a bit anxious as my symptoms aren’t anything right now. My boobs were super sore at first but now I feel nothing. ): bit my lines are darker today! So trying not to stress about it. 4w3d today! I hope I’m not breaking any rules for showing progress out of anxiety lol

Thank you hun. I think if it wasn't for them I could start to relax a little. But at the same time I guess it could all be normal. It's ridiculous that after 4 babies I still have to ask others I should know all of this. But you soon forget and I guess every pregnancy is different. Thank you for the reassurance. Its what I need right now

Just got my positive digital today and I am cramping since yesterday also. Just wanted to let you know you were not alone with the cramping. It seems to be off and on but good period like cramps. My period isn't due til Thursday or Friday so I will feel more comfy with it once I pass that day.

 

[Bevziibubble]

Congratulations!

@Skyye Your lines look great!

I haven’t yet, I’ve completely forgotten what to do lol DD is 5! When should I ring? I’m UK which I think makes a difference

It's worth a try. There may be something they can do for you. So sorry again that af came. I was rooting for you. I hope you get to the bottom of things and get your bfp soon

I've had one morning where one of my tests looked lighter. Don't think fmu is best for me really. Hope you get a darker one tomorrow

Thanks @Laurabub84 I've booked an appointment for the weekend so fx for some answers. Hoping it's not got something to do with breastfeeding my 16mo, I would be happy to give it up but he's only down to 1 feed before bed and he doesn't want to let it go haha.

Good luck @Joannaxoxo hopefully it was just a little too early for your implantation date. Your chart looks good to me not that I'm any expert I thought mine looked ok too but i have my fingers crossed for you!

Good luck @sn0wbunnie ! Were you in the September 2018 pregnancy group on here? Your username looks familiar haha!
