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

How long have you been off the pull purple? When I can off the pill I had various clue lengths from 30 days to 47 days for a year but the last 5 months every cycle has been about 30 days so I think it took a year for me to get back to normal. So it could be post pill weird cycles for you rather than pcos x

Brightsmoke · 24/08/2016 17:32

Still no AF for me yet! My BBT has started rising again, and I don't feel how I normally do when AF is due, but tests are coming back neg. Urgh, I hate this waiting game!!

Poppydm · 24/08/2016 08:48

Sorry for AF purple everything crossed that this next cycle is the one. Vegas is amazing JB so jealous! Hopefully you can bring back a little bean too Smile CD36 and still no AF Sad The only thing I've been taking is just plain folic acid tablets. I was taking the seven seas trying to concieve tablets but switched at the start of this cycle as they were making me feel a bit funny. Feeling a bit fed up now. Been reading about a few people who just seem to have these randomly long cycles every now and again. I'm just a bit worried in case it's something like pcos or something else that's been masked whilst I've been on the pill all of these years.

JB1983 · 24/08/2016 08:13

Vegas, we reckon it's not the kind of place we will go to once we have a family so pushing the boat out on this one x

PurpleHaze1 · 24/08/2016 07:57

A holiday sounds fab JB where are you off to?

JB1983 · 24/08/2016 07:20

Sorry about AF purple, here's hoping September will be our month!
AF is almost gone for me and normally I'm a bit down in the dumps and feeling sorry for myself at this time of the month but this week I am just hyper for my holiday. Roll on Monday x

PurpleHaze1 · 24/08/2016 06:44

AF is here. At least I didn't waste a test.

How is everyone else? Have you been taking any supplements this month poppy? Pretty sure AF is late for me because I've been taking B6.

Poppydm · 23/08/2016 21:40

Hi JB Nope - no sign of AF for me either purple Got everything crossed for you. Let us know how you get on Smile

PurpleHaze1 · 23/08/2016 21:23

Welcome bright and JB Smile

Still no AF here. Any sign of it for you poppy? I bought a FRER today, going to test in the morning if still no AF

JB1983 · 23/08/2016 18:55

Hi ladies, I hope you don't mind me gate crashing your thread but it looks like my cycle is in sync with many of yours and I will hopefully be testing the same time as you all next month if AF doesn't make an appearance.
Currently on CD4 with a two week holiday coming up with DH during fertile week, so hoping there will be plenty of opportunity to DTD.
Fx for some BFPs for those still in limbo this month x

Poppydm · 23/08/2016 16:41

Hi Brightsmoke this ttc is awful when it plays these tricks on you. Fx for some bfps for us all soon. CD35 and still no AF Sad Wish it would just hurry up so we could get on with our next cycle.

Brightsmoke · 23/08/2016 16:08

Hi ladies, can I join this month please?

Me and hubby trying for our first baby, implant removed over 2 months ago, so cycle 2 for us so far.

I'm CD23 of a normally 22 cycle, so AF was due today. Negative test this morning (well afternoon as I'm working nights currently), but have done a BBT and my temp is dropping so fairly sure AF will come soon.

Thought I had a faint line yesterday, but now think I imagined it. Fx for everyone still in and for next month :)

X

olguitha · 23/08/2016 12:14

It's OK. I kinda knew. I was write relaxed about it this month. I feel way better after last cycle. Like que será, será kinda feeling.

Poppydm · 22/08/2016 13:59

So sorry to hear that Olguitha Sad Sending hugs. Thanks for your lovely message purple so nice to have people to talk to on here. I'm off work this week so just been pottering about. DH is off this week too so that's nice. Just a waiting game now. Hope you're all doing nice things today Smile

PurpleHaze1 · 22/08/2016 13:36

Sorry to hear that olguitha Flowers

olguitha · 22/08/2016 13:27

Well I'm again out. Af appeared today.

PurpleHaze1 · 22/08/2016 12:18

Oh poppy I'm sorry it was a BFN for you too Sad what kind of test did you use?

We're not out until AF shows but like you, I feel like I'm enough DPO now that if I was pg, I'd be getting a line. I wish AF would hurry up so I can get on with the next cycle now.

Are you working today? Can you treaty yourself to something nice? I've been comfort eating a lot of ice cream recently!

Poppydm · 22/08/2016 08:15

Well still no AF but a BFN Sad Don't know what is going on. Don't think it can be too early to test as I'm CD34 and I think about 14dpo. I didn't get a positive this month on opks though. Was just going off cramps and cm. Wonder if I've had an anovulatory cycle? Also had antibiotics and a UTI so wondering if that could affect it? Feel a bit numb right now.

Poppydm · 21/08/2016 17:32

Thanks Purple Hope there is no sign of your AF. Are your cycles usually pretty regular?

PurpleHaze1 · 21/08/2016 12:26

Ha! I know exactly what you mean about being a POAS phobe. I had intended on buying a FRER today to try tomorrow but I didn't - can't stand the BFNs. I'll just wait and see if AF shows over the next few days.

Very exciting that your AF is late though! I think FMU is best so if you're not desperate to test today, I'd wait until morning. Everything crossed for you!

Poppydm · 21/08/2016 09:41

Good morning ladies, sorry for BFN purple Are you only 9dpo? Could be too early to detect anything yet? But no AF is good! I'm CD33 and 13DPO (I think) I've been a bit crampy over the weekend but no AF - yet! My cycles so far have been 25 days, 30 days and 31 days so this one is longest. Just hope if AF does show, it means my cycles are not getting longer. I haven't tested yet - it's been so manic in my house this morning and I'm going out with family soon so can't face the thought of a BFN before that. I might test later on this afternoon when I get back if I can face it? Sometimes I think waiting for AF to arrive is better than looking at the blank face of a test. Does anyone else ever turn into a poas phobe? Or am I just weird?
