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

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

Morning all Smile how is everyone?

poppy did you test? I used an IC and got a BFN... No AF though so at least my LP is longer than 9 days!

Poppydm · 19/08/2016 19:22

Deal Smile Feeling crampy tonight too so not holding out much hope. Urgh.

PurpleHaze1 · 19/08/2016 19:07

Pretty much in the same boat poppy AF due tomorrow & I'm expecting her to show! I think if - by some miracle - she doesn't show, I'll test on Sunday. Test pact? Smile

Poppydm · 19/08/2016 18:46

Hi Purple AF is imminent for me I think. Due tomorrow and been so irritable and emotional today so that's a sure sign Sad If by some miracle she stays away, then I'll test Sunday or Monday. How about you?

PurpleHaze1 · 19/08/2016 17:58

How is everyone getting on? Any plans to test?

olguitha · 16/08/2016 23:05

swimming and mighty I'm sorry about afSad let's hope for next month!
purple we are cycle buddies. I'm also on cd6

Poppydm · 16/08/2016 17:35

Ah Swimming just read this back. So sorry AF arrived Sad Hope you too are doing something lovely to take your mind off it all.

Poppydm · 16/08/2016 16:04

Ah so sorry to hear that Mighty Ttc is so hard. I didn't get a positive OPK this month either. Just presuming I ovulated as I had ewcm and some pains. Hope you've got something nice planned to take your mind off it all? Fx for next cycle for you. Fx AF stays away Purple

MightyLightningMouse · 16/08/2016 15:33

Aw no swimming! Sorry to hear it but SO glad you're keeping so upbeat! Smile Where are you jetting off to?? Onto September testing with me - ladies it was a huge false alarm, AF reared her head this morning and boy she's not letting up :( I'm so disappointed! And frustrated - my period is becoming irregular and it never has been before. Feel really down about it but i'll be popping by for some hopeful BFPs!!!

Purple I have no idea I don't even think I ov'd - I had no positive results this month (first time using them)! Feeling very down but I knew this month wasn't great anyway. Fx for testing on Monday!!

PurpleHaze1 · 16/08/2016 15:11

Hey poppy Smile I'm only 6dpo and AF due Saturday. I'll test on Monday too if AF doesn't show

Poppydm · 16/08/2016 14:49

Hi ladies, how is everyone doing today? Think I'm about 8/9 dpo today and AF is due this weekend. I've decided not to test until it is late. Will test on Monday if it hasn't arrived.

PurpleHaze1 · 15/08/2016 20:45

Sorry AF arrived swimming Sad

I didn't experience implantation bleeding with DD so I'm not sure what it's like but keeping everything crossed for you mighty! Do you know how many DPO you are?

Justkeepswimming99 · 15/08/2016 20:17

Fingers crossed for you mighty. AF arrived today for me, I think I knew from the type of pains. Focusing on the positive, I've ovulated, it's a normal length cycle and it was unusual for me to ovulate so late in cycle. By my calculations we'll be on hols when I next ovulate so perfect timing! Keep the faith ladies, our time will come xx

MightyLightningMouse · 15/08/2016 19:03

Hi poppy glad you're feeling better! Glad we're in the same boat of not knowing this month (although the circumstances are rubbish)! So sorry I didn't see your other post in my haste to post lol.

At the mo its (TMI) very very light pink/brown with a few streaks of brown mucus which I read could be a symptom of implantation, but i never had it with my other 2 pregnancies, so I have no point of reference. However I've never been this early before. Normally when I come on, its pretty much dark brown and clotty from the get go. My boobs have started hurting again as well. Trying not to get my hopes up!

Poppydm · 15/08/2016 18:00

What is it like now Mighty? I've never been p before so don't know much about implantation bleeding. How many dpo are you? Fx it is a good sign.

MightyLightningMouse · 15/08/2016 15:15

Hi everyone, need some advice? No idea what to think. AF usually due in 20th, last month it arrived on the 17th. I tested today BFN. Walking home from work and felt a "gush" (sorry!) Got home wiped and I have pinky red blood. It's very probably the start of AF but its never ever been this early, and usually get cramps etc before hand. My boobs don't hurt anymore and no cramps to speak of either, just this extremely light bleed. I'm going to keep an eye on it, I also feel very "full" in my womb area. Could it be implantation bleeding? I know you won't know but just need to get it out really...I just don't know!!! Could be early Af from the stress this month too.... watch this space Hmm

olguitha · 14/08/2016 23:39

I've decided to nor test until at least my actual period date, I'm trying to behave v like a normal human Grin

Poppydm · 14/08/2016 22:17

Thanks Mighty Feeling a bit better today. I'm going to test next weekend if AF hasn't arrived before then. I'm the same as you as I don't really know how many dpo I am or if I ovulated. The metallic taste is a classic early symptom! I can't really notice anything as I'm feeling so nauseous and tired but think that is just these tablets. Ooh fx for you. Let us know how you get on! Smile

MightyLightningMouse · 14/08/2016 21:57

Aw no!! Curl up with a cuppa and a biccy, and rest lots poppy The Olympics are hilarious - we watched the ladies marathon today and all the commentators did were bitch about every single thing the organisers had done wrong! Grin Really hope you feel better soon, its no fun!

Purple try not to worry its so easy to overthink. I had the implant before and it certainly takes few cycles to "even out." Smile

Olguitha welcome to the dreaded 2WW! When will you be testing??

TBH Ladies I've not been checking a thing, I don't even know what my DPO is as I don't even think I ov'd! The only "symptoms" I've had worth noting is a metallic taste in my mouth and sore boobs (but my chesticles hurt every month so not using them as a symptom anymore! Hmph!) Who's testing soon? I'm tempted to test tomorrow, only 'cos AF arrived on the 17th...if she's to do the same again if I test with an early response it might show? Who knows!

PurpleHaze1 · 14/08/2016 07:14

I'm doing ok thanks poppy. Feeling quite relaxed as I'm just not expecting it this month. Only 4dpo though so still plenty of time for that to change & me to go all kinds of crazy SS! Ha ha!

Also loving the Olympics. It's a good distraction Smile

Poppydm · 13/08/2016 23:38

Me too. I've stepped away from Google Smile How are you all doing? The antibiotics I'm on are giving me awful side effects. They make me feel so sick Sad I'm loving the Olympics though so it's a good excuse to curl up on the sofa Grin

olguitha · 13/08/2016 22:59

Google is poison. I usually get more symptom spotty when I Google stuff.

JaneyL1 · 13/08/2016 09:34

Purple, I tested day before AF due with DD and spent the next two weeks completely paranoid about CP so swore next time I'd wait until I was 2 weeks late, but know I won't last that long!

PurpleHaze1 · 13/08/2016 09:20

Wow jenny that's some serious willpower! I'm going to test on 22nd if AF doesn't show up (due 20th).

He he poppy I spend far too much of my time consulting dr Google. Try not to worry Smile

JaneyL1 · 13/08/2016 08:50

Hi guys, I'm well into the 2ww now and trying not to stress or count days. Ovia says I can start poas in 3 days but going to hold out till I'm a week late if I can, well if AF doesn't show (that's next Thurs I think). Fx for everyone this cycle!
