So AF got me this afternoon!! Trying not to get down in the dumps (although I just watched 'one born every minute' on catch-up and sobbed!)
Dusting myself off and hoping for better luck in April! A few stats:
Age-33
TTC-5th cycle
DC-1 DS (3.5 years old)
Anyone else at the start of their cycle and trying something new in the hope of a more successful month?!

Jem I feel like a balloon bloated too Hmm I put on a bra that was actually quite roomy a few weeks ago and it's been pinching me all day! My weight tends to fluctuate but this bra has never been tight before! I hope it's not weight gain. Although my boobs could just feel heavy due to where I am in my cycle.. Must Google!

Jod I would find those tests hard to ignore but keep dtd in case you haven't ovulated yet. My first cycle after the pill in February I convinced myself I was pregnant and didn't dtd that much (totally different and stupid on my part, i hadn't even done a test!) now I'm raging as I may have been more fertile then? Some people experience hyper ovulation when coming off the pill like you mentioned about the cool. I really hope your lines get some colour soon, to put you at ease.

Footprints1 · 12/04/2016 19:14

Jod, I suppose you can only wait for a bit. Don't think your gp can refer for bloods unless cycle goes up to CD40. That is what happened to me.
Give it another few days maybe. X

Jod1985 · 12/04/2016 18:48

I don't know that I 100% ovulated when I did. I suppose it's possible that I ovulated later. Although the cramping and spotting I had (5DPO) made me convinced that I had ovulated and that was implantation. I still have symptoms but they could be PMT symptoms. I just want to know what's going on

Tee, no I meant that not much CM I think may have caused cystitis. Apparently it's more common to get it in the first part of cycle.

Seems ok now, I blasted it out with fluids. Didn't want to take those salty sachets, it'll mess with my diet! Confused

Footprints1 · 12/04/2016 18:24

Jod you must be so confused. I saw the lines in previous tests. Remember those other mums on the other thread we were on - it took between 14dpo to 20dpo for it to show up. They kept getting negatives too. So AF still no show for u, so u still could get a BFP - especially as u have sore breasts, nausea and that wet feeling down there. Those are def good signs.

Some spotting today so I've no idea what's going on with my cycle, but my coil had only been out for 4 days so probably due to that.

I'm absolutely exhausted, I have no idea how I'm going to cope with early pregnancy if I feel like this before I've started.

Jod is there any chance that you didn't ovulate when you think you did and are just earlier in your cycle. I know when I came off the pill I had two weeks of negative tests before one came up positive because my cycle was a bit messed up.

Hello how has everyone's day been?

I'm quite bloated today and full of wind Blush my jeans are cutting into my tummy. I hope this isn't just me getting fat.

Jod1985 · 12/04/2016 13:40

No I didn't have Any others in the house. Angry will just have to wait and hope AF arrives soon ladies. Thanks for all the kind words

Parney · 12/04/2016 13:25

Have you tried another test with same sample? Surely impossible to keep getting indents on them all?

SuchaJem · 12/04/2016 13:24
Sad You're not out til you're out. Hope AF stays away
Jod1985 · 12/04/2016 12:42

Yes it does I think.

SuchaJem · 12/04/2016 12:41

Does it have to be pink?

Jod1985 · 12/04/2016 12:37

Honestly the line is completely clear. I promise it's not even got a trace of pink in it. It's definitely negative.

Does cystitis affect CM then? Hope it doesn't kick in too aggressively for you. Sperm can still survive with little CM x

So strange Jod that there is no colour, but they have all been like this? Again this like easier to see than the previous lines! I understand your confusion, however I've no advice Sad.
I would love to be buying baby stuff!!!

Thanks footprints, you're right, things are more protected inside than we give our body credit for. I had a terrible sickness bug in my first trimester with DS, and I was terrified it would harm the little bean. I just hope it didn't prevent ovulation because I had terrible cramps all day yesterday. Everything is second guessing, so can only hope for the best! x

Jod I can definitely see the line in that 2nd pic?! It looks pink too. Not really sure what indent lines look like. Don't be too disheartened although I know you were hoping to see something stronger x

Jod1985 · 12/04/2016 11:44

There's no colour to the line though so I really think it's a Negative. I'm sooooo confused!!! Confused

Mimilicious013 · 12/04/2016 11:32

I can see the lines on all pics jod. Could it be you ovulated a little later than you think?
I think congratulations are in order Flowers yay!!!

I see what you see footprints Hmm

Speedy recovery tee

Jod1985 · 12/04/2016 10:48

Here you go...see the line?

Right soooo I took a FRER and imo it's a BFN. I can see a cruel indent line. Now I'm thinking could I have been seeing an indent line on the other tests too?
I'm gutted.
