Sorry to hear about the BFN magpie you're not out until af arrives though. Fx for you. I've got the cb digital ones too. Not going to use them until I get a faint positive on a cheapie as I'm told they're not as sensitive as some.

I'm still on the bus. Cd 23, period due on the 28th or thereabouts. So frustrating all this waiting :(

purplebella · 22/11/2016 12:36

I still don't think you're completely out missmagpie. Good luck and test with a different brand in a couple of days if no AF

MissMagpie · 22/11/2016 12:14

I don't opk or monitor my temp purple so difficult to say exactly but my CM suggested I ovulated sometime week beginning 7th November.

That would make me between 14 dpo and 11dpo, I think.

purplebella · 22/11/2016 11:18

How many dpo are you missmagpie?

ringroads · 22/11/2016 11:12

Sorry to hear missmagpie that sucks, fx for u x

MissMagpie · 22/11/2016 09:56

I caved and tested this morning with a Clear Blue digital and got a clear not pregnant. An expensive way to find out but I only had a digital test in and it says test from 5 days before your missed period.

Boo. And no AF either.

Will test again in a couple of days if the witch still hasn't arrived but I am not expecting miracles. Just need to reset and go again I suppose.

bluesdetoi · 22/11/2016 09:15

Aw man thats a crappy long ass cycle, I can imagine your frustration when you don't know what to expect at all or when to expect it. No advice to offer, I would probably just keep testing every day like a maniac, but the sane part of me wants you to wait for a few more days, so you don't end up disappointed like me.

NO NEWS on my end, its driving me crazy! I have the most regular periods normally, I can tell on the hour when I'll get it. I normally get crampy 2 days before. There's nothing there, no sore boobs, no breakouts, no PMS. And still keep testing BFNs.

Ovia keeps asking if I have my period yet and I'm like "NOPE LEAVE ME ALONE!" Confused

Lulu298 · 22/11/2016 07:38

Hi missmagpie perhaps test a week after your normal AF start date so cd40 unless you get abnormal for you spotting? Good luck!

Any update blue?

And fx duck.

MissMagpie · 21/11/2016 15:20

No news from me.
Still no AF and haven't tested either. Today is CD34. My average cycle length this year is 33 days. My shortest is 28 and my longest is 37. I am not really sure when to test. I am terrified of getting a BFN and having to start again. Any thoughts?

Felt very pre-menstrual this morning but that has gone off a bit. Feeling quite bloated. And heavy boobed that tingle very now and then. I also have a bit more creamy CM which I am not sure is usual or not!

So basically, it could be AF or it could be pregnancy. Helpful!

Trying to convince myself that if I am not pregnant, at least I can drink on my Christmas do!

ringroads · 21/11/2016 13:14

Oh so sorry blue, but as the famous saying. Goes your not out until AF is in. X

bluesdetoi · 21/11/2016 13:12

Thanks missmagpie. FlowersAny news for you?

MissMagpie · 21/11/2016 12:53

Really sorry to hear that blues.
I know exactly how you feel. Every month you get your hopes up and it hurts a lot when you are disappointed again. Keep the faith. It will happen eventually.
Hope AF shows soon. Sending hugs.

bluesdetoi · 21/11/2016 11:31

Hey guys!

So I tested yesterday and today and got BFNs. My period is due today, but I'm not experiencing any symptoms at all. Just waiting now though, all the BFNs are really knocking my excitement down a few pegs.

At this point, I kinda just want AF to show her ugly face so I can mentally move on to Cycle 2, right now I'm just in limbo which sucks.

ADuckNamedSplash · 21/11/2016 06:24

Thanks Lulu. Yep, trying for #1.

Sorry to hear that - best of luck for next month!

Lulu298 · 20/11/2016 20:43

Welcome aduck. Are you trying for #1?

Did another opk tonight and it was negative so think it must be some freakishly late ovulation. If it had looked positive, I think I would have done a hpt as you say aduck. Just got to wait for AF now as this month has been a write-off.

ADuckNamedSplash · 20/11/2016 17:16

Hi all - I've been lurking for a while...

Age 28
Cycle 1
CD 24
10 DPO
AF due 25 / 11

Lulu - I know you had a BFN a few days ago but I've read that OPKs also give a positive result if you're pregnant, so maybe worth retesting?

MissMagpie · 20/11/2016 16:46

Why are the symptoms for early pregnancy the same as for PMS?!
Been having weird cramping today - kind of sore feeling and pulling feeling. My boobs are also starting to feel sore. So basically no nearer knowing anything.

Lulu298 · 19/11/2016 22:31

Am having such a strange cycle! CD31 and had a positive opk tonight and one last night so guess I must be ovulating. It doesn't matter anyway as DH too ill (again, groan) to dtd so imagine I will move over to the December bus pretty soon.

Good luck for those still to test!

ringroads · 19/11/2016 18:00

Blue when is AF due? Good luck for tomorrow! X

MissMagpie · 19/11/2016 17:18

I'm waiting until Weds or Thurs blues unless AF shows up first.
I have decided I prefer the hope to the disappointment!
Still getting the feeling my period is about to start on and off.

Good luck with your test. Fingers crossed. Let us know how you get on.

charley2016 · 19/11/2016 11:54

I'm out ladies. Looks like AF is here this morning. Sorry to the others who got caught. Fingers crossed for all of you ladies still waiting though Smile

JeNeBaguetteRien · 19/11/2016 10:23

I'm jumping off the bus though I haven't reached my desired destination... got BFN yesterday and AF is arriving.
Good luck to you testing, have fingers crossed and will look in to see how you get on. I'll save a few seats on the December bus in case they're needed (hope not! )

bluesdetoi · 19/11/2016 07:47

Im still here as well, time indeed is standing still. Since this is my first cycle, I wasn't expecting tww to be soooooooo long!

Testing tomorrow and I'm very excited although not super hopeful because I simply don't believe I'll be so lucky that I'll conceive in my first month of trying.

I can deal with AF too, a new cycle with a chance for improvements isn't so bad either!

MissMagPie, are you testing tomorrow also?

ringroads · 18/11/2016 18:06

Im still here too 6-7 DPO dnt feel any different, got a banging headache tho! Prob due from the stress at work and the stress of driving myself crazy with symptom spottingSad

janiPop · 18/11/2016 16:36

Hi ladies just checking in. I'm around 5/6 dpo and have had mild cramps on and off but I usually get those anyway. Also had lots of wet/creamy cm after ov which I've only noticed this month. My lp is 11 days. Hope that's long enough.
