Guess that strip was just a fluke or something, because it's not getting any darker now. It's even lighter. Since this brand doesn't seem to be that reliable, I'm thinking weird evap rather than a chemical. My skin's gotten quite bad since yesterday, which is my regular PMS symptom. So, I think af will arrive in a few days.

Crams Congratulations on your bfp!

Agatch Thank you babe for your support. Means the world to me! Sometimes we’re losing our self in our thoughts and that’s why I like to get back into here.. to clear our ,nod and get back in track! I’m so happy to see your lines getting darker and can’t wait to see all the updates from a healthy pregnancy. How are you feeling symptom wise?

Sam I don’t know how you must be feeling but I can sure tell you that even tho I’m not pregnant or ever have been, I’m always worried what if I get pregnant and will miscarry?.... I think about it all the time and I believe is that You wanted this so bad for so long that you think is too good to be true. I don’t know how to make you stop thinking about it but I can tell you that there’s nothing you can physically do except being cautious of course in logical limits. Enjoy your pregnancy because it’s gonna pass so fast that you will go back to it thinking how silly you were worrying all the time. You’re pregnant girl!!! You’re pregnant now and that all that matters. Life is happening when we are worried about what might or might not happen in the future...

Scuba I can see the lines but I’m not sure if it’s darker or same. If it was the trigger I believe it should be disappear till tomorrow. Hopefully it will keep getting darker!!

Pandorica I sure can see a line on the cheapie one but I don’t know about the latest one! Fingers crossed hun that you’ll get darker ones on your next testing!

AFM I’m CD6 today and AF left for good. Preparing to Ovulate next week and I will sure do my best to catch that egg. Hubbys swimmers should be kinda stronger now lol and we’re both pretty relaxed since we’re on a vacation mode! Fingers crossed ladies that this old cookie will finally do it

@Alex good luck this cycle! I think it will a fluke it was darker last night. This morning looks almost white. I know it's too early to test but this last week is hard!! This is today (bottom test) xx

Hey ladies i am 5 weeks and 2 days pregnant have already gained 3 stones! Is this normal?

Hey @sam do you mean 3 stone or 3 kg? 3 stone is quite a lot. I don't think I even gained that by the time I had my daughter. Maybe you need to check if you have gestational diabetes which I had but wasn't diagnosed until much later in my pregnancy xx

Sadly, all other tests after that darker strip has been faint or non existent. So that must have been a fluke. I've started getting cramps too and some pink spotting as well. So I'm getting even more certain that af will be here any day.

@scuba hahahhah sorry i mean kg

@sam every pregnancy is different and weight gain also depends on your weight before you got pregnant. I would just trust that your body knows what it needs but if you are worried you can ask your doctor at your first visit
@scuba It may still be the trigger showing and depending on how diluted your urine is, the line can be slightly darker from one test to the next. If I remember correctly the trigger was still showing at 9 dpo last cycle, right? So you should know more the next few days. I know the wait is so hard! I really hope this is your month!
@Pando sorry to hear AF is on the way. Sending hugs your way!
@Alex thank you. Yay for a new cycle and high hopes of success! Symptoms are mild so far. A little tired. I get mild nausea for a few hours before lunch time most days. I've had a bit of heartburn one evening or two, breast is a little sensitive and a bit bigger but no big change there, and then a bad case of pregnancy brain (which is just a little aggravation of my normal state I guess ...)

@agatch glad you aren't feeling too awful. Did you say when you're having your first appts?

@alex yay for stronger sperm! I am hopeful for you.

So I don't know what it is about summer, but it seems to regulate my cycle. Could be a changes in diet or exercise or even just that extra sunshine I guess. I feel like my stress level is pretty consistent through out the year. Last summer my cycles were always on time between 30-34 days and it's looking that way this summer too. CD 18 and my opk is turning dark quickly.

I'm here reading along and cheering you all on! I just don't always get much time to respond or update.

Hi ladies!
I am on CD 20 and 4 DPO. I know it may be too soon but I’ve been experiencing cramps on and off all day accompanied with nausea. Any of you had similar symptoms?
