Testing july 5th who wants to wait with me!!

[maryanne1987]

Thanks peanut. It's weird and a little painful but I don't mind if it leads to a bfp.

When are you going to test again?

Also all my symptoms have completely disappeared yesterday and today. The only thing that was weird for me was the heavy cramping the other night that disappeared in the morning. I really thought it was AF but never came!

CD 41 today my side boobs are starting to hurt when I press on them. Cervix is high and closed again other than that no noticeable symptoms.. My longest cycle is 41 days (I've been using the Kindara App to track my periods for the past year). Hopefully AF stays far away!!

So I just have to update to let everyone know that I just started having mild AF cramps again!! This time I checked my cervix and it is far back, closed, and semi-hard! But its closed!! So I'm praying that it's a good sign. My CM is also very watery and sticky with white pieces..Sorry TMI!

Good luck kay

Good luck Kay!!
Maryanne it's sounding better and better for you!
I ended up having to go to town today and while at Wal-Mart picked up a bunch of 88 cent tests. If any show up pos ill buy a frer or something to extra confirm but I figured if I got one now I'll use it which would be a total waste lol
You all are sounding fabulous towards the idea of bfp. Feeling excited for us all!

I have never in my life checked my cervix but after reading up about it tonight i thought I'd try.. It's really high up but feels soft and closed is this a good sign? That's even if I bloody did it right Haha x

 

[maryanne1987]

I have absolutely no idea in cervix position and what's normal. Mine changes through the day. Plus mine was torn in my last two labours so it always feels odd now. I'd be interested to know what we should be looking for though.

I read that its not really a good indicator of pregnancy or not but I've also read a lot of others who ended up with BFP when their cervix was high & closed..Others are low and closed so it's different for everyone I guess but you'd have to be checking for a few cycles to know whats the norm for you. For me, before I get AF my cervix would be really low and open and its different with this cycle so thats whats keeping my hopes up!

I've heard that a closed cervix means that your pregnant but I guess that would only indicate that if you've missed AF...The cervix can be high and then drop last minute when AF is due.

"If you have been lucky and conceived this cycle, your cervix should rise up again and feel soft. The difference here is that the opening to your cervix will remain closed. Unfortunately, when this happens will vary. For some women, it can happen within 12 hours ovulating. For other women, it may not happen until long after you have received a positive pregnancy test.
If you are pregnant, your cervix position will rise higher into your vagina but not as high as it would if you were not pregnant. During these early weeks, your cervix will feel soft; whereas a non-pregnant cervix will feel similar to a fruit that has not quite ripened all the way. The cervix is soft in pregnancy because it literally becomes swollen with blood.
The key point here is to remember that even though your cervix will rise naturally when you are pregnant, the timing of this rise is unpredictable. Every woman is unique and you may be experiencing a low cervix in early pregnancy simply because your body is taking a bit longer to adjust. There are many cases in which a woman’s cervix hasn’t risen in her first month of being pregnant. If you are one of them, stay positive and remember that your body may just need a few more days to adjust to being pregnant. If you are concerned for any reason then, by all means, you should consult with your doctor or OB/GYN."

That's helpful Kay. Thanks.

If you have had a baby though it's normal for it to always feel a little open. Some more than others. Mine never shuts tightly anymore. I remember being freaked out one of my midwife appointments with my third where on my notes she had written 1-2cm dilated. I panicked thinking I was in early labour and was only 30 weeks but she said it was totally normal after having a baby.

 

[BellaBoo0512]

Thanks for the info ladies! I was just curious to see the position of it. I guess time will tell if it's a good sign or not

 

[Safespace024]

Ladies... I bought those tests... And now I just can't wait. Been holding it for three and a half hours and going to keep holding till I can't no more (pretty much dying already lol) and do one 😱 feel like I'm letting myself down already yet nervous and hopeful at the same time. Part of me is saying at least wait till morning lol

 

[peanutmomma]

My cervix is high and soft, also closed feels exactly like when I was pregnant with dd! I have been doing loads of research h today as to what could cause all the symptoms with negative test. Especially if af was actually due the 16th. I have read both ends of the special trumpet from, sometimes we all will randomly miss a period. To a full extreme didferent. I won't go onto details as I hate giving and harboring false hope!
My shorts are to tight tonight though lol! They were snug this morning, but toO uncomfortable now. I also read that being if I get the BFP this would be baby 2 and you gain weight quicker than with the first. Also, in the first trimester you'll gain quicker. Usually by end it balances out though. And that some women in consequence urine pregnancies will see symptoms s sooner like enlarged breast etc.
I have gained 4 lbs. Since af in may. But I know it's bloating I hope I get that bfp. I don't want to wait much longer to give my daughter a sibling as due to me being a prior type 1 diabetic, I will hit me a pause most like.y before 38. I am 33

 

[peanutmomma]

Thanks peanut. It's weird and a little painful but I don't mind if it leads to a bfp.

When are you going to test again?

Like bodies act alike lol!! I was sitting g here just now and sad bc I have the bfn and all the sudden BOOM LIGHTING STRIKE TO THE CERVIX!

 

[Safespace024]

Well I tested and of course bfn. Still holding hope since af isn't due till somewhere between the 1st and 5th. But I am feeling a little discouraged because I am 11 dpo. I don't know when I showed a positive with either of the other three because I never tested until I was a good ways passed expected af. So hopefully I'm still in.

 

[maryanne1987]

That describes the feeling perfectly peanut.

11dpo is still early safe, especially if your not 100% sure on dates. Even if you were it still doesn't mean much as i temp so always know exactly what dpo I am yet with my youngest son I had s totally negative blood test at 13dpo. Finally got a faint line at 15dpo. Your still in, don't lose hope yet.

 

[BellaBoo0512]

So after saying yesterday that i refuse to test early and will wait till at least the weekend.. I caved this morning and I am so annoyed with myself! Of course it was BFN! The reason I tested was because I got up to pee in the middle of the night which isn't the norm for me.

How's everyone doing?

 

[maryanne1987]

Good thanks. Feeling quite tired and stress today. The tww is getting to me now. I'm going to be testing soon. Don't feel bad about testing early, you held out longer than me!

 

[BellaBoo0512]

Yeah the tww is getting to me too I feel so dizzy today and keep getting mild cramping in my back. Like AF cramps but not as strong. Could be anything though

 

[maryanne1987]

Bfn. Not even bothering to post a picture as there's not even an evap to squint over. Still have a headache through, it just won't go. If I'm not pregnant I need to see a doctor I think. Grrr wish there was a way to just know. That's the thing with symptoms, they could be pregnancy related but then like you said they could just be anything and mean nothing at all.
