AF due 20th July / 5DPO - Who Wants to Test With Me??

469 replies

Hello!

Some of these threads are HUGE and I'm feeling a bit lost, so I'd thought I'd make a new one for anyone who is due their AF Wednesday 20th July (or thereabouts!) and are 4/5 DPO.

Symptoms so far
1-3DPO - Nothing
4DPO - sore boobs and lots of clear CM (sorry!)
5DPO - very sore lower back right in the middle, sore bbs + AF style cramps

A little about me... I've suffered x2 miscarriages over the years, one at 6 weeks and the other at 10 weeks (had a D&C). Horrible experience but hoping for a sticky bean this time! So technically I'm trying for my 1st.

Would love to know a bit about you as well and hope we can test together - and try to keep sane while waiting! Good luck everyone Smile

MightyLightningMouse · 28/07/2016 19:37

Waiting for my OPKs to be delivered (get far too excited about the post!) I feel like everything's been messed up due to AF arriving 3 days early so deffo need the OPKs! Hmm

Flashing smiley this morning.... Heading home! ❤️❤️❤️

PurpleHaze1 · 28/07/2016 19:12

How's everyone doing? Are some people approaching their FW soon? Ovia says mine starts on Wednesday but I'm going to start using OPKs this weekend so will see what they say...

olguitha · 26/07/2016 18:19

Back in the club! !

MightyLightningMouse · 26/07/2016 17:25

At least your mind will be at rest now Olguitha I'm pretty happy to hear she showed up too Grin you can get testing with us August folk!

olguitha · 26/07/2016 16:52

I can't believe I'm saying this but I'm finally on my period and I'm soooo happy!!
Omg

Justkeepswimming99 · 26/07/2016 13:56

Hi all, great to see the BFP's!
I'm on the OPK's again, either CD 10 or 12, AF was a bit on and off, No smileys yet but hoping for one in next few days.

First time temping this month as well, seems straight forward so far... Is anyone else temping / fertility friending? My temp was definitely higher after the weekend nights when I'd had wine but back to pre weekend levels now so hopefully steady ready to spot a spike xx

olguitha · 26/07/2016 00:39

Absolutely nada yet guys!
poppy you kay have a very short luteal phase. Your TWW is more like a long ww so at least there's that.

Poppydm · 25/07/2016 20:46

No it is - thank you! Last cycle was 31 days and the one before that 30. It's not so much the cycle length but more the later ovulation makes it seem like a long time until my fertile week. When are you going to start using the OPKs Purple? Do you know when you usually ovulate?

PurpleHaze1 · 25/07/2016 20:16

How long was your last cycle poppy? I'm not sure what's 'normal' but I have quite short (3 days) & usually relatively light periods. I've just always thought myself lucky Smile and I successfully conceived DD with no problems so it hasn't caused me any issues. Not sure if that's helpful Hmm

Poppydm · 25/07/2016 19:21

CD6 for me. My cycles seem sooo long though. I won't ovulate until CD20 ish. Will keep checking with OPKs from about cd12 though as my cycles aren't that regular yet. Hope something happens for you soon Olguitha Sooo frustrating!
Exciting to be poas Purple It's just good to feel proactive sometimes Smile
I wanted to see what you ladies thought. That AF was my third 'real' one after my initial withdrawal bleed from the pill. All three have started with awful AF cramps which only last for arrival of AF then it's a normal flow for a few hours then so light for maybe 3/4 days and then that's it. Before the pill is have medium periods for around 4/5 days. So sorry for the TMI but just worried that periods like this might not be good? Does anyone have any suggestions or info?

PurpleHaze1 · 25/07/2016 18:46

Any news olguitha?

How's everyone else doing? I'm on CD3 now so hoping AF is on her way out & we can get busy Grin I'm excited about the IC OPKs arriving so I can go POAS crazy. Ha ha!

olguitha · 25/07/2016 00:40

no it hasn't! only once and it was a MC.
Plus today I got news that I've been chosen to participate in a very special part of the Great North Run (like I might be on the press and stuff) so I have to train and i'm scared that i might go too hard and it might not be good for the baby if i am pregnant.
i am v. frustrated. can you guys tell?

MightyLightningMouse · 24/07/2016 21:55

Exactly what I was thinking Olguitha! Grin Hahah! So sorry to hear about your BFNs! Has it ever been this late before?!

olguitha · 24/07/2016 15:21

I wish I could come on. Like is so upsetting to get Bfn after Bfn and nothing! I have accepted I'm not pregnant now. I just want to be able to try again. Ugh.

PurpleHaze1 · 24/07/2016 08:35

Fx for a BFP on FRER olguitha Smile

Glad we're keeping the thread going Grin

olguitha · 24/07/2016 07:10

Until EVERY last of us is fertilised Hahaha. Still no Af. Still Bfn (all of these are ics though so I'm not too sad. Frer coming soon)

MightyLightningMouse · 24/07/2016 03:46

Hi guys yeah this post will definitely merge into August!! We'll keep it going for as long as we need Smile

PurpleHaze1 · 23/07/2016 19:24

poppy I've ordered more IC OPKs which I'll use in conjunction with the CB ones this cycle & hopefully get a true result. I have considered temping but decided to give it one more month before doing that. I'm going to aim for everyday in my FW if DH is up for it! Grin I feel a bit more informed now as this is now my second AF since getting the implant out & was exactly 28 days.

What about you? Are you going to do anything different?

Poppydm · 23/07/2016 19:18

Sorry for the BFNs and AFs. CD4 already for me so only another week or so until it's fertile week again. What are you ladies planning on doing during your fertile window? Anything different? Every day? Every other day?

PurpleHaze1 · 23/07/2016 19:07

Oops! Posted too soon fat fingers

Are you keeping this thread going for August mighty?

PurpleHaze1 · 23/07/2016 19:06

Oh olguitha I'm keeping everything crossed that you get a good result soon

AF has arrived for me so on to cycle 3. Are you keeping this the

olguitha · 23/07/2016 14:55

Yeah. I'm usually 28 days. Only been late one other time and that was my mc

olguitha · 23/07/2016 14:54
