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

I'm sitting here dying to. But I promised myself I wouldn't till at least tomorrow. I'm really annoying

PurpleHaze1 · 19/07/2016 09:45

Nothing here either. I'm pretty convinced that AF will be here by the weekend though.

Is anyone planning to test before the weekend?

olguitha · 19/07/2016 09:26

Nothing yet. You?

PurpleHaze1 · 19/07/2016 07:43

How's everyone feeling today?

olguitha · 18/07/2016 15:28

Forgot to say temps are still up. So I guess that's good

olguitha · 18/07/2016 15:27

I should be due from the 18th to the 20th. Will probably test on the 20th if nothing happens before.
It's ok about the name, it's a weird one.

PurpleHaze1 · 18/07/2016 14:48

Apologies for getting your name completely wrong! Blush

PurpleHaze1 · 18/07/2016 14:48

Oh ogliutha don't feel embarrassed!

Feeling sad could be an early PG sign too. You're not out until AF shows. I share your frustration though. I hate the 2ww. How many days until AF due for you?

I'm on CD24 & still having cramps/stabby pains. If the CB digi OPK was right that I ovulated on CD9/10 then I'd expect AF today. I have a feeling the test was wrong though & AF will show at the weekend if not before...

olguitha · 18/07/2016 14:22

I'm so annoyed I keep feeling so sad. This a good AF symptom for me and I am gutted. Ffs. I just want to have a baby. Why is it so hard when it's what I'm supposed to be made for sad Sad
posted tgis on abother thead when i was supposed to be writing something else, now I can't delete it and I'm s o embarrased about this out of place strop

PurpleHaze1 · 18/07/2016 08:12

Oh mighty Sad hope you're ok & managed some sleep.

Fx AF stays away poppy

Poppydm · 18/07/2016 07:53

Hope you're ok mighty How are you feeling this morning?
Hope AF stays away for you almostamy I always have the same symptoms a few days before AF due which started yesterday. So think it'll be here soon Sad Never mind, it's another month of getting the pill hormones out of my system and hopefully August will be lucky for us all. Hope you all have a lovely Monday Smile

Justkeepswimming99 · 18/07/2016 07:45

Sending hugs xx

Almostamy · 18/07/2016 07:32

Hope you are feeling better this morning mighty?

MightyLightningMouse · 18/07/2016 03:14

I know, I guess I'll never know. I'm still up (at 3am) with the sheer pain of it!!! This is so unusual. I'm gonna nip downstairs with the cat and have a cuppa & hot water bottle. Going to feel like absolute hell at work tomorrow but oh well. Not stupid at all olguitha Smile it's very true!

olguitha · 17/07/2016 23:57

There is no way to know mighty but do take care of yourself. I know it's so hard to live ourselves when we can control our body, but remember that you matter way too much.
Im sorry if this sounds stupid. I just think we need to remember this often

MightyLightningMouse · 17/07/2016 21:28

Oooo 'eck don't know why it's all in italics! Don't get on very will with the MN app Grin sorry!

MightyLightningMouse · 17/07/2016 21:27

almo and olguitha (and everyone else!) thank you for the kind messages! You're a lovely bunch ♥︎ I'm still very excited to see a BFP on here! This week hopefully^^

When are you guys testing again? Grin now I can't POAS I'll make you lot do it instead haha

Guys does this sound really silly... I can't help thinking I might had an a very early MC? Sorry for tmi but having horrendous cramping and back pain, and very dark mucus blood clots (almost a gel consistency?) It's very heavy too when usual it's moderate. I'm pretty lucky as normally I don't get bad cramps. Don't even have to pop a paracetamol! Today however, Im in so much pain! Not anywhere close to pain of previous MCs but this is ouchy. Obviously got a BFN yesterday so just don't know what to think Sad somebody give me a good shake haha, overthinking as usual!

PurpleHaze1 · 17/07/2016 21:27

Feeling a bit crampy tonight, been craving sugar & been in a bit of a funk all evening so fully expecting AF to show up in the morning. If she does show then that's only a 23 day cycle which is shorter than I expected. Perhaps everything is still settling down after the implant. Will see what happens tomorrow!

mighty I've used the IC OPKS and last month I got the CB digi ones too as I found interpreting the cheap ones quite tricky. I do like the extra info because I'm a control freak.

Really hoping someone gets a BFP soon Smile

olguitha · 17/07/2016 19:29

poppy I'm not too bad. 26 to 29d cycles. That's why I'm not too certain when am I due.
mighty I'm really sorry FlowersCakeChocolateWine
almostamy I'm crossing my fingers ,toes, hairs abs anything else that can be crossed for you (and for me. To be fair)

Has anyone got a good answer yet?

Almostamy · 17/07/2016 19:06

mighty sorry to hear that, great to hear your positive attitude though and reassuring that all if us not lucky this time will be able to try again together next month.

olguitha me too! Going to try to restrain myself from testing again before AF due weds. Was never confident I timed things right this month so fully expect to be back ttc with the remainder of our group in a few weeks though.

MightyLightningMouse · 17/07/2016 19:03

I'll check them out I want the reassurance too Smile

StarStarStar happy 100th post! StarStarStar

Poppydm · 17/07/2016 15:02

I just use the cheapie ones from Amazon. I've had positives both cycles I've used them and I just find it reassuring to know I'm getting a positive around the time of dtd.

MightyLightningMouse · 17/07/2016 13:11

poppy with me being early I think I'll defiantly be buying some OPKs, so I can try and track it better as my ovulation dates might be out of sorts now. I'll keep taking folic acid and omega-3. I really hope we get a BFP on here! Smile

MightyLightningMouse · 17/07/2016 13:06

Aw it's fine honestly Smile at least I won't have another 3 days of wondering! I'll still be on this thread to test in August, hope you'll join me! Good luck to you all xx

PurpleHaze1 · 17/07/2016 12:50

Oh mighty I'm so sorry to hear that Sad. I really don't think this is my month either so will probably see you over on the August bus Flowers
