6 DPO here and zero symptoms, which I guess is normal. I might test around 12 DPO, not before that.

In my first pregnancy it took 7 days past my period due day to get a positive in a test strip. I took 2 tests before that and was repeating every 2 days and still nothing. I had implantation bleeding 10 DPO and around 14DPO I got really bad pain in my boobs.

What, in your opinion, is the best HPT? I read bad reviews lately about FRER, a lot of false positives... and also problems with clearblue... Which tests do you use? I still have lots of strips but although the package says extra sensitive, they won't work until a week after AF is due, which is soooo boring!

Well. Last month when I was pregnant I was having all kinds of symptoms and this time, nada. Well, almost. I've been getting mild headaches and pretty extreme fatigue, but, this can all be normal cycle stuff. I am 99% sure I am out this cycle. Sigh. Then just one last attempt at girl swaying before I pack it in.

I am similar, don't have a clue what dpo I am, but my af usually arrives cd 25, currently on cd 18, had a really late O last month so af did not arrive until cd 30, I never have two long cycles in a row. My temps are starting to dip and I have zero symptoms, I do have extreme exhaustion but like you said I had that last month and wondered if it was a sign, it clear was not! I have a wee pot belly this morning, always a sign of af, at least it will arrive early this month and I can move on to August, cannot believe it I would have expected to be nearly through the first trimester by now! I have stuck to the diet and exercise this time, though I dropped exercise down to 5 days. Feel good about that, so will be on for August! X

Maggie84 are you swaying pink or blue? Am amazed at how early some ladies can get positive pregnancy tests, with all three of my pregnancies I got stark white negatives until dpo 14, so I will hope to hold off until then, af is likely to arrive before then so I will save the money on tests, I have found the cheap tests by tesco or super drug work best but am not an early tester! Good luck everyone, fingers crossed for us all x

The earliest BFPs I have got were 10dpo (DS2 and mc#2) and they were with FRERs. This current pregnancy I got a BFN on 10dpo (although it had the 'shadow line') and then the BFP was 15dpo. I probably would have got a BFP earlier but I wasn't testing since I had AF!

The ebay strips are always really faint but the earliest I have seen a super faint BFP is 11dpo. They aren't very sensitive at all, I tested Sunday and it wasn't that dark even though my levels were 2500 on Monday morning, I was so surprised when I heard that was my level!

I don't like tests with blue dye as I have been tricked by one of those before too. I'm not really sure which are the best, I think they all have issues when testing early as shadow lines or evaps can give false hope. It is probably better waiting until later to test but that can be hard to resist!

Darn, FF changed my crosshairs this morning. I thought I should be 4dpo but they moved my ovulation day back 1 day so now I'm only 3 dpo. 1 more day added on for waiting to test

I already have a boy and swaying for a girl this time! We will only have 2, so this is the last chance!

awww tfahn don't talk to me about ff! I have fallen out with it lol as it annoys me being right all the time and changing right when I think I know where I am.

Good luck to all testing soon, I am waiting till 12dpo so it will be next Friday for me! Girlieplease asda do one which is only £1 and it seems ok, I used them when I had a chemical last time and m/c in December.

I would love to have a symptom. I keep thinking I have them every month but its my imagination, I do seem to have some back pain at the moment but considering I'm only 2dpo I know its nothing, I just hope they are not late OV pain as we DTD for the last 3 days and hubby is now away.

Its great to see so many blue swayers this month, wishing you lots of luck and dust, really hoping after 4 months it might be my turn, cant cope with any more weight on xxx

I currently feel like death... I am so bloated I feel swollen and tender. Guess that's a good sign I got some progesterone doing its job... But owie I am uncomfortable...I think I popped the egg yesterday at some point... Was super hot last night couldn't cool off to save my life.. Late afternoon today is when the bloating started so timing makes sense. Will know for sure in 14 days when I either have a positive test or bleed or don't..

[Girlieplease]

Burakoam that sounds promising, sounds like something is definitely happening. I never trust symptoms in the 2 ww as I was so convinced I was pregnant in Jan and it was not the case. For me symptoms of early pregnancy and af are similar. Am cd 19, no real symptoms to mention. Af normally arrives cd 22-27, average is 25. But I had a really long cycle last month and when that happens the next month usually is short so we will see. Least it would mean af come early and can on to August. Good luck everyone! Only symptoms I have actually are greasy hair and bloating but these are usual signs of af!

Does or did anyone check their ph? Mine is only at 6 and from what I have read that's to low for conceiving a boy . I have stuck to the diet and supplements religiously, drank lemon water too and it's just not moving!

I might try the baking soda finger during ovulation - has anyone else tried that? X
