Spud, good luck
But be careful with the home bargains tests, I always get lines on them

Pixie, which are the home bargain ones you are talking about? I want to check I don’t have them!

My fav is mybabytests! They are supposedly 10 IU tests, and I have indeed picked up BFPs on them prior to other tests! They’re rather inexpensive.

Homebargains, Clearblue and Frer were all BFN. And I'm not feeling pregnant any more. I am not considering myself in with a chance. I have one clearblue left which I may or may not use (ok 100% will use) in a few days.

Has any of my uk friends here ever used Poundland OPKs ?
I haven’t had time to order one step ones this cycle as pay dates haven’t allowed the time, so I just bought Poundland ones 5 in pack

Hey pixie, I’ve used them and they work just as well as the online cheapies. I think £1 for 5 tests.

Af arrived. Oh well. On to the next cycle. At least my body seems to be working properly timing wise.

 

[dmusgray]

My temperature shot back up so maybe I'm still in the game?? I'm 8dpo but my test was negative this morning.

 

[Nixnax]

Sorry af got you mk

 

[sarah34]

5dpo today - still lots of thick white lotiony discharge but maybe a yellow tinge. Pinching across uterus area especially on right side, (strange cos my 21mm follicle was on the left) tired

 

[upwardonward]

8dpo now, and having too many symptoms. Nausea, tired, backache, headaches, sensitive nipples, round ligament pain. If I don't get a bfp my uterus is fired.

Hey guys,
I'm Jazmine! 9dpo not ttc but hopeful in my tww. I believe I've had an implantation bleed. EXTREMELY light brown spotting on one wipe yesterday. Would've missed it if I didn't look. Same today but pink. Both mid-morning. Nothing before and nothing after. Cramping is SUPER light and off and on.

However....I'm a bit miserable. Been queezy the last two days but not quite nauseous (if that makes any sense). I know this is TMI but I've been pooping every single hour !!! mostly loose stools and sometimes hard. The main thing I've noticed is that it smells TERRIBLE.... completely different smell than I'm used to. I'm definitely gassy.

DTD on my ovulation day. The thing that's throwing me for a loop is that my breasts started leaking yesterday..just a couple of drops and only when i squeeze & massage them (don't ask me what made me try. No clue).

This would be #1. I had two mc in 2016. They were very early 6 and 7 weeks. Never noticed any leaking during either of those pregnancies or in previous cycles. Bizzare. This cycle feels a lot different than the others where I thought I was pregnant (and also obsessed over symptom spotting it lol). My cramps are nowhere near as intense as they were in bfn cycles...barely feel them, i would almost say they don't hurt much, just kind of there. BFN last night and BFN this morning. Still early. FX for BFP. Thoughts? Anyone else experiencing this?

 

[Nixnax]

Hi jasmine, this all does sound pretty promising. I’ve got my fingers crossed for you. Good luck.

I’ve never had the leaky boobs things as a BFN symptom so hopefully you get a bfp

So many words, and I've got a tension headache lol. But, I'd definitely say it looks hopeful! And, yes, I'd say I have had breast leakage, but not until probably my 4th and 5th pregnancy, and I breastfed all of my kids like forever lol
Good luck, and keep us posted!

 

[Babyfever7691]

Thanks! i know it's long lol. I've been lurking on all of the boards and finally posted so i had way too much to say LOL

Atemp dip at 7 DPO is common. It could be implantation dip (or may just be a secondary estrogen surge). But no. You’re not out.

 

[PrettyInInk42]

BFN on the 9th and AF arrived yesterday. -.-

 

[co_fostermom]

Hello all! My embryo transfer is this Friday!!!!! Which means I'll be PUPO (pregnant until proven otherwise)...basically for 10 days before my doctor confirms pregnancy with a blood test. I'm 98% positive that I'll cave and test early. I'm not sure how HcG builds when you transfer a blastocyst or how long it takes. Anyone with experience in this? Should I not freak myself out by testing early? Would it not show up on a hpt?

Hope everyone is doing well so far. So sorry to those that AF got already and congrats to those who got their BFP! I haven't been following very closely lately. Actually, I haven't been on the forum in over two weeks, so I have no clue what's been going on. At any rate, I hope everyone has a good night/ day depending on what part of the world you're in when you read this!

 

[mrsmummy2]

Good luck jasmine! Sounds promising.

So sorry prettyinink

Eeeek how exciting fostermom!! I have EVERYTHING crossed for you

 

[mrsmummy2]

AFM - AF due tomorrow, caved and tested. BFN. I'm ok about it, just wish AF would hurry her way along so I can get onto the next cycle.

Hi all, I took a test last night and it was positive. It was longer than 5 minutes before the line showed up. But the line was definitely there, so I was started to get excited but didn't tell my husband because I wanted more than one positive test. This morning I wake up and it is stark white! They are Dollar Tree test.

I was skeptical yesterday anyway, because even though FF said I was like 9DPO, I am pretty sure I was only 7 simply because of my OPKs and how my temps usually are. Has anyone had this with Dollar Tree tests, its really disheartening. I did use 2nd morning urine, probably like 5 mins after FMU, but why would that matter if it was positive last night after no urine hold and drinking a lot of water.
