January bus continued...? Anybody still clinging on...!?!

I tested this morning at 8dpo as I've got a meal out planned and it was most definitely a BFN. Pretty much what I expected but still frustrating.

I'm finding it odd that my boobs and nips aren't sore like they usually are after ovulation. I've also got a headache and am errrr, gassy, but other than that I'm perfectly normal. I don't want to be normal, I want giant veiny boobs with implantation bleeding and any other symptom on the bingo card!

Addtothechaos yes u may be right. I wasn't tracking with an app so went by average days etc and cm. Was possible I ov on the weds rather than the Sunday/Monday that I thought. Never rambert being this bloated and this tired and emotional with normal months. Have told dh that I will test again onow Friday if no af. Much love to all x

Ducks good luck - that def looks like a positive.

Sorry for the BFNs - really hope they become positive in a couple of days for you. Or at least AF arrives so you can have some wine and prepare for the month. The uncertainty is the worse feeling.

I am 13 dpo. I am not testing as only cd28 and though I ovulated early my average is 32 or 33. Have had a few very faint cramps but nothing like the usual pre AF. My boobs are feeling weird - not heavy like last month but painful when my son uses them as a push off for getting off my knee and keep having sharp pains. Weird.

I'm off the bus, AF just arrived! Good luck to the rest of you, keeping my fingers tightly crossed for you x

Rose Yes I am...finished in Oct last year. Am feeling so sick and exhausted already. Can't wait to go home and sleep! Sure af will make an appearance today although have been thinking this since Friday and everything I go to the loo nothing! So frustrating x

Starting to feel a bit womb-y. Af may well be on her way. Grrr.

Well onto day 37 for me, did a Superdrug early response test this morning. Still a BFN!

Had stomach ache for days now and I'm so bloated it's ridiculous. Can't get my trousers fastened for work.

I'm too holding out a small hope that I'm one of those people who doesn't get a positive until long after AF is due!

Sorry mother. Can't remember - are you very recently off pill? If so, this may not be a permanent pattern. Wine, never any harm in trying if you're stressed. Anyone else testing today? I'm awaiting a seat on the train so i can draw our bingo card. :)

Thank you passmethewine at least I only have a half day of work today then I can come home. Deep breathes and a smile me thinks! X

Motherhippy my SIL is about 11 weeks pg, we were talking about it the other day and she said she tested a week after af was due and her line was very faint - not sure if she tested earlier than that too but just goes to show you can be a week past AF and not get a glaringly obvious BFP x

Think I'll be joining you there minime! X

Sorry pass and mother. I did a frer too and it's s glaring bfn. 10dpo, still possible but feeling ok today, no symptoms at all which is usual in a regular month. I had so many more indicators last month, more aches and pains and I knew things were different. So preparing myself for the Feb bus, with a detour via the off licence!

I agree...am hoping I am pg otherwise these are my regular pms symptoms and I've been having them constantly since ov! Don't think dh could take this every month! Have been so emotional...bless him he's a star for putting up with me! Have been reading about not getting bfp for a while after af due dates so maybe I ov later than I thought and my hcg level isn't Hugh enough yet. Clutching at straws I know x much love to all x

Ohh dear, the angst but like you say it's not over 'til it's over so fx for you. I am pretty sure it's over for me though, the cramps I had yesterday and now this morning are ridiculous and really getting on my tits, I barely have cramps when I'm on my period never mind the day before so I'm thoroughly unimpressed. Just want to stupid thing to come now so I can stop thinking about it

Still feeling so sick, massive headache runny nose and sore tingly boobs....grrrrrrrr....

Bfn on tesco own brand....digital glaring not pregnant.....day 31and I'm never this long. Could have ov late I suppose....so disheartened....

Sorry to hear that passmethewine. But we're not out till she shows her ugly head! Did a test earlier but it didn't work. Had 3 dreams last night where I got bfps and woke up each time to the reality I hadn't tested.... will test again now x

Well pretty sure I'm out, AF due today and although she's not here yet I just did a FRER and CB both very much BFN. I expect AF will arrive shortly. I have also been charting my temps and can see my temperature is starting to drop now which is a sure sign the lovely lady is on her way. Oh well hopefully next month will be our month

Hi ladies, I'm still hanging on to the January bus and I'm hoping for some advice.
I have a nearly 4 year old and we've been trying to conceive our second since May - honestly I don't remember it taking this long before. Anyway.. my cycle is normally 27 days, I ovulated a few days later than normal this morning (cycle day 18/11 Jan), and I was due AF on 20 Jan. I stared spotting on 21 Jan (cd 28) and it's now cd 30 (almost cd 31) and I'm still spotting. It's so light I don't need a tampon or towel (so sorry for tmi), and the spotting stops and comes back. Since last Thursday (cd26) I've had daily periods of nausea. None of this mirrors my normal AF.
Has anyone had anything simalar who can help advise me?

I had implantation bleeding with my first child, but could it happen a second time? I'm going to take another pregnancy test tomorrow but I'm dreading doing it and am worried I should wait a few more days.

Thank you - and sorry for the long post. As you can probably tell this situation is driving me mad. xx

Being boobs 😂

That looks good duckling!

Can we add 'forgetting what you are saying halfway through a sentence' too? I've been useless today (and I train people for a living - not a good look to loose track mid flow!)

Thank you both. I'm trying not to get too excited as it's still sooo early.

2ducks!!! That looks pretty clear to me! So exciting! Fingers crossed it gets stronger and stronger!

Ducks that's more than just a squinter! Looking good. Hope tomorrow am being with it an even mightier one. Mini all excellent suggestions and will be added forthwith.

I sent my husband out for a test today because, well I'm a POAS addict and also my boobs have been super sore today. AF is due on Friday so it's still early to test. My husband was not thrilled at the prospect of spending £10 on another test so he bought bloody sainsburys own. Now this happened. It's a squinter for sure! I don't have a great deal of confidence in these tests and, honestly, I'm annoyed at myself for testing so early. Especially given the last time I did this I was pregnant for a grand total of two weeks!
I'll do the other test in the morning, but I'm not overly confident. If AF doesn't show her face on Friday I may be able to convince him indoors to indulge in a frer!
