5 days late!

Hey chocky and others ☺

How are you all? Whereabouts on your cycle are you now?
I'm cd9. Lots of DTD going down in the hopes that this is our month. Just looking at ovulation tests are there any anyone recommends?
Really want to try and narrow down when I actually ovulate to give us more of a chance this month!

Hope you're all well. I've been so busy with college and work! xx

Hi glen! Welcome here. Everyone is really friendly and supportive on here.
Your symptoms sound promising. Fingers crossed and let us know when you test.

chocky that sounds promising if this next cycle is meant to be more fertile. Fingers crossed we both have a successful cycle this time! How's your af now?
Mine has settled now. Was horrific to start with but bit more normal now. Was feeling disheartened but more positive now 🙂

Can I join too? I'm just on the cusp of 34 days when it's normally 28 or 29. I've not said anything to dh yet, I'm going to wait until the weekend to test as I have gone 33 days once in a blue moon. My boobs are pretty sore but I'm not sure if I'm imaging things! Keep feeling like AF might arrive but nothing yet - fingers crossed. Also weeing all the time!

Morning all!

Well this af has hit me hard. It's a particularly heavy one this cycle. Clearly making up for being late! Feel rotten today so have taken the day off college and work. Just going to rest up in bed today and eat my body weight in chocolate 😂

How are you today chocky? And everyone else?
Hope everyone is good and certainly not feeling as bad as me today xx

Aww sorry to hear that chocky! Sending hugs your way. Seems our cycles are similar!
I'm hoping next cycle will be the one. Going to try harder this month.

Going to try and get a thermometer and chart my temp this cycle and also get an ovulation test kit so I can be a bit more accurate.

I've got horrible cramps. Really don't want to go to work tonight 😞 feeling rather sorry for myself. One of my friends has just announced she is pregnant and she wasn't even trying 😭

Congrats sparkly! Don't feel bad. I'm happy for you. And it does give me hope that maybe next cycle will be better

Really sorry to hear that.

I got my BFP today after being a week late and having four previous negative tests.
Total shock.
I feel bad sharing this when you've just had AF arrive but hope it reassures you and others it can still happen.

Well I'm officially out this month. Af has just arrived 😭

Thank you chocky! I hope so. I'm crossing everything for us both.

On cd33 now. Longest cycle I've ever had! I wish I hadn't of given in and tested this morning.

It's so disheartening seeing another bfn when you feel so sure that it would be a bfp 😞

I'm crazy bloated at the moment too. I look like I have a bump I'm that bloated. Was so tired last night I could of passed out. Work was much harder than normal.
Fingers crossed!!

Not doing another test until the weekend. Don't want to keep torturing myself!
Are you managing to hold off the testing?

Just did a Superdrug test with fmu and bfn 😞 I don't understand. I really feel pregnant like I did with my DS. Still no sign of af.

Maybe I should of waited till weekend when it would be 14dpo 😞

As the saying goes, every pregnancy is different! So maybe you won't show up on test till later especially if there's a chance you ovulated late like I did?!

Fingers crossed for us both! It's just the waiting I can't handle and the not knowing one way or another! I'm too impatient 😂
Monday is done just few more days to go!

I'm at work at the moment finding it really hard this week as I'm so tired! Everything feels like a massive effort. Not liking this rain today either. It's all dark wet and cold! Want to be at home with a massive mug of hot chocolate! ☺
Hope you have a lovely evening. Try not to stress. You will know one way or another soon. Just be patient! (Says the most impatient woman ever!)

Forgot to add... I don't have much experience with FRER. When I've had a negative they have been totally white window. Maybe it could be an evap? Or a very faint bfp? I'm not sure. Do you have a photo of it? Maybe post it and see what others think? xx

I found myself really panicking about it all today. The possibility of being pregnant after my miscarriage last year. Little bit scared because when I miscarried I lost loads of blood and nearly died.
I know it's an irrational fear as there is no reason to suggest that if I am pregnant this time it will end in miscarriage.
Just can't stop slightly worrying about it. I guess that's to be expected though.

Symptoms are really promising. Don't want to get my hopes up though, just in case I'm not pregnant. But it's unusual for me to be this late and not have any signs of af.
Fingers crossed. Still not sure when to test??
Thinking of holding on till weekend and then doing one with fmu. By then it would be around 12-14 days past my late ovulation.

I'm really hoping this is it for me. Can't bear another bfn.
Just remember chocky it's not over until af shows! So even though you got a bfn today. Af still hasn't shown. So maybe you ovulated later than normal? So there might not be enough hcg to register on a test yet xx
Thinking of you Hun. You never know this time next week we could be bump buddies! 🤞🏻

Hi chocky,
How did your test go today? I hope you got your bfp!
Still no af for me! On cd 32. Very late for me! Fingers crossed it will be a bfp for me too soon!
I'm certainly feeling different to how I normally do in my cycle. My appetite has increased and I frequently need the loo! Not like me.
I just hate the waiting! xx
