Anyone else waiting for AF/BFP in next couple of days? Come share the wait!

My A.F is due on 21st November so if she doesn't arrive I'll test say around the 23rd, so this time next week I should know for sure. xxx

Oh grizzer sorry for your disappointment but like you said a relief as well. Have everything crossed for you this cycle.
Pink - I had breast cancer 7 years ago and only finished all Meds in August. The Meds put me into fake menopause and periods have only just returned. I have had 3 very regular, very normal periods and all lasting 31-32 days. Have had scans and blood tests and have been told all is looking very normal and ovaries are happy. This would have been my 4th period in about 4 years.
Have had some family stress this cycle and am thinking I ov'd late. Boobs still hurting, still getting negatives on internet cheapies and still no sign of period. I have a frer I am saving and will do if still no sign next week. There is no point me going to docs as she will say its periods settling down but because of history but as they have been regular I don't think this is the case. X

Morning everyone, AF finally arrived properly this morning. Disappointing but it's a relief that it's here. I was starting to think I'd stopped having normal periods!!
Pink, I've not been to drs about anything. I've only got 2 mcs on record although I think I've had a chemical too. I don't think they'll do anything because I've got pregnant on average every 6 months. I also have a daughter so they'll say there's no reason it shouldn't happen again. Dh is a believer in what will be will be so is not interested in ivf. Too be honest I'm not sure I could cope with it either. I'm still hopeful it'll happen soon but adoption is another option to look in to.
I'm a bit worried about why I'm getting this nausea though, I hoped it was a pg sign but obvs not. Got to book a smear this month so will have a chat with the nurse about everything x

Hey mumtoacub, I just wanted to say I'm sorry you're having such a frustrating experience.

Grizzer - that's exciting about your adoption evening. Let us know how it goes. Out of interest, have you been offered clomid/IVF etc?

Hey ladies glad to be back mrsc I'm so happy for you!!!
I did cb digi yesterday morning NOT PREGNANT, so was to upset to check in yesterday, devastated really.
Still no AF and I just don't get it! usually regular as clockwork feel very "wet" grizzler also got mild cramps, I generally feel pregnant but I know I'm not. Had a late bleed last month one week after AF I can only assume that was my first real period and I am due again next week wish it would hurry so I can get on with cycle 7!!

Seems my AF is taking at least 2 days to get started now. I had a couple of brown spots on weds, nothing yesterday & a few spots today. Nothing when I wipe. I can feel it now though so it'll be here tomorrow but weird how it's started to come quite literally drip by drip lol!!
Dh & I are going to an adoption open evening on weds. A big step but I feel really excited by it. Still TTC but I feel there are other options for us too so can hopefully relax a bit. I've really let it take over my life in the last few months.

Hi Mandyflo, are your periods usually regular? It could well be that you did ovulate as late as the 7th but even if you ovulated earlier, it could still be too early for you to get a bfp.

I find this website really interesting:

www.countdowntopregnancy.com/pregnancy-test/dpo-chart.php?dpo=12

It shows for example that at 12 dpo 16.4% of pregnant women still get a false negative. At 15 dpo 11.1% of pregnant women still get a false negative. So basically, if your AF is late you could still be pregnant even if you're getting bfn now. Good luck!

By congrats mrs c.
I'm now 2 days late and no sign although looking at period tracker and symptoms I'm thinking I ov'd proper late on the 7th nov. The last time we dtd was the 5th so I'm hoping if I did ov late we may still just be in with a chance.
Boobs started to hurt on the 17/18th around ov time and then stopped hurting (they tend usually to hurt from ov right through to af) so I' m thinking didn't quite make ov then. They started hurting again on 7th and haven't stopped since hence me thinking late ov.
Could this be the case do you think ???
Have Poas but negatives but if I did ov late then it would only be 8/9 days pos ov.
What's you views on this ??.

MrsCarridge - congratulations! That's wonderful news! You must be so excited. Please keep us posted. Xx

I'm wondering the same thing about testing in the morning. I couldn't test yesterday or today because I'd been to the loo in the night so didn't have any fmu left! I keep waking up in the night at the moment. I'm having the weirdest dreams. My AF isn't even due until tomorrow so it's probably a good thing I haven't been able to test. I did do a test on Tues which was a bfn unsurprisingly.

I know I should be grateful that I don't get really bad cramps with af but when I start to get my hopes up because she's a day late & I can't feel her coming I'm really not grateful at all, it's just annoying.
boo flippin hoo x

Whoop whoop Mrs C

Congratulations xxxxxxz

Thank you! Of course now im doubting myself and thinking what if its a FALSE positive? Im at work do won't be able to test again until later but I really should wait until the morning shouldn't I?? There is no way I will be able to concentrate at work today!!!

AAAAhhhhh that's brilliant!! Congratulations xx

Holy shit I did the first response test this morning....theres a line! Its faint but its definately a line. Will do a couple of other tests over the weekend to make sure im not losing my mind and imagining things but well, I think im pregnant!

Thanks for the advice grizzer I think I'll give them a go just for my own peace of mind. I think I just want to check everything is working

I'd test Monday mrs c so you can tell the drs you tested that day. If you can't wait though they might use their own tests so you might as well test tomorrow!!
1974 I use opks but am going to stop after this month, apparently it puts too much pressure on dh & we need to just go with the flow! I think it's worth it for a couple of months though so at least you get an idea of when you ov.
I think I was due AF today, have spent all day checking knicks but nothing yet. No cramps either so started to get my hopes up but think I can feel it coming. Will test Saturday if nothing. I can't believe how much I feel when I'm obsessing! Constantly think I feel 'damp', slight itchy/tickly sensation in tummy, lower back ache. All in my head I'm sure. I can't think about anything else, it's driving my nuts!!

Gosh its awful reading what some of U have been through. I admire ur strength at keeping going and showing ur support for others on here.

How is everyone today? Mumtoacub, what did U decide? Did U pee on a stick?

Well AF still hasn't arrived!!! Last one was 4-7th October and not seen hide nor hair since. I have an appointment booked on Monday evening at the docs to see what they say and I have one frer test left...any advise as to when I should use it? Earliest being Friday morning latest being Monday morning??

AF has sort of arrived... This is the coming off the pill AF though and I suspect it will be the only time I will be pleased.

Do you think it may be a good idea to get some opk's for this month so I can track dates?

So ladies, af was due yesterday. Bfn on internet cheapies so brought a frer. Bfn on that too. Boobs are really sore but no sign of af. Am wondering did I ov late, am I stressed (a few family issues this cycle) or could I still be pg.
Cm has been all over the place this cycle so have no idea really.
Last dtd on the 5th and was due yesterday 13th. Am really hoping late ov and we just caught it. Cycles usually 31 days ish. Who knows. This sucks :(

What did you decide mumtoacub? Did you test? I'm going to wait until the weekend because I can't stand the stress of is it or isn't it!?
I'm due today but no sign yet, no cramps either but I'm trying not to get my hopes up because I'm sure AF is just being a cruel beeyatch and she'll arrive the minute I start to think this could be my month. I had a couple of spots yesterday so I'm sure she'll come.

Thanks pink...you are right about getting a scan. I think I need to 'know' that everything is ok down there! I do fall pg easily but this was my first mc so all pretty new to me.

I've poas today day 42 and BFN still :(

Also wanted to say sorry to hear your news kitkat...I was on another thread with you and didn't realise you had a bfp. Hugs to you, that's so shit twice in a row.

am here... happy to offer you a virtual hand to hold if you need one

xx

Thanks 1974 I know deep down I need to make this decision myself. Gonna devise some coping strategies tonight.

oh mumtoacub I wish I could hold your hand.

I don't think I can advise you what to do.

((hugs))

Please tell me what to do!!!!
