    congratulations on the BFP!!

    ITs nice to see the sun today (albeit behind clouds!) - that always makes a day happier.

    Well I think I am 8DPO and think I have started to get very mild cramps (oops nearly missed the m out hehe). Hope that AF stays away until I am at least in double figures on the DPO count.

    I think I am about 10DPO but can't be certain as I wasn't testing. What is the earliest you can test with the ultra sensitive tests? I did have a VERY small amount of brownish/pinkish CM about 5 days ago but that would be too soon for implantation bleeding wouldnt it? :o

    It's usually 7-10 days but if you are not 100% when you ov'd then it could be - fingers crossed!

    Some tests are up to 4 days before AF (First Response) but be careful testing early as you risk the chance of detecting a chemical pregnancy that you may never have known about otherwise.

    Spotting at 5dpo is tad early for implantation, but it is possible:cool:
    How long is your cycles usually? I'd wait until AF is due or 14DPO:o
    If you really can't wait, then perhaps 12DPO? Use cheapy ones like Superdrug or supermarket own brand ones as they are more sensitive:)

    I am not symptom spotting just saying i have mild cramps!! I did last month when AF was due. I dont expect to have caught beanie this month so if AF is coming I want to get into double figures before she does arrive. Last month was only a 9 day LP......:p

    Hello all :wave:, did you miss me? Bet you all didn't even realise i hadn't posted in a few days! lol:p

    First of all congats to Mish and Redfrog!! Heres to a happy and healthy rest of pregnancy x

    Have read back to too many posts to respond to...
    Plonk me back to the bottom of the chart please QQ - CD1. PMA seems to be working, I expected this to come, I'm glad it didn't take another 4 days and impact on my holiday, I was sad with my neg test on Tuesday but I'm okay today - still only a few months into trying so not getting worked up or teary just yet. Plus I've got my DH throwing me a 'period party' to cheer me up each time AF arrives so I'm really looking forward to seeing how he spoils me this month.

    Hugs Kaemi, but great that you are keeping up the PMA, fingers crossed for you in the next cycle, loving the idea of a 'period party' might have to suggest it to DH:o

    so much for being MSE, what a waste of money.!!:mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad:

    Can anyone recommend any opk's that are nice and cheap and a bit more reliable!?!

    Hello everyone,

    Massive congratulations redfrog - you must be so happy :):):)

    I'm feeling quite good today, I *think* I ovulated yesterday (how exciting) had a really achey stomach on one side and my CM has changed completely today to be much whiter and less liquidy (does this sound right?)

    Will keep my fingers crossed but I'm quite enjoying getting to know my cycle again, OH is definitely enjoying all the BDing, last night he said to me that since I didnt know when I'd ovulate we should just keep on going all the way too AF, good advice but he made me laugh with how happy he looked about it - as if he was waiting for an excuse to do it! :D
