I'm nervous/excited Grin

AF due anywhere between Tuesday and Friday.. All being well and she doesn't show, I'll probably test next Saturday or Sunday.

Anyone else counting down the next week?

I have it in my head I will wait until AF is 2 days late before I test but I think the way things are going I may cave before that!
That sucks Betsy, Keeping my fingers crossed for you for next cycle x

happybus28 · 20/07/2017 17:59

Awww betsy that's rubbish AF made her appearance! Like you said it's good you can move on to next cycle though! Good plan going to see your gyne about your spotting though, if deffo helps to feel like you are doing something and hopefully they should give you some advice and put your mind at rest.

I know I keep flipping from having overwhelming urges to test to deciding I'm gonna wait until Monday when AF is actually due!! I do know I'm better to wait though....not sure I'll make it until Monday but I will try not to cave in the morning. Saturday will be 12 dpo so should hopefully give a fairly accurate reading.

Betsyboo87 · 20/07/2017 17:36

Welcome Murree! Fingers crossed for you.

Betsyboo87 · 20/07/2017 17:35

Nooooooo Happy! Tell yourself it will be better to see a nice clear line than risk getting a squinter and not really being in any better position. HCG rises so fast in early pregnancy that a day or two makes all the difference.

I'm out Sad. My spotting has increased to bright red. Totally gutted but I've had a week of confusion so actually nice to know and move on. I'm going to get an appointment with the gynae that I've previously seen to see if we can investigate my spotting a little more so I feel like I'm doing something.

happybus28 · 20/07/2017 17:18

Definitely same place next month betsy its great having people to share this craziness with!! I'm feeling tempted to test tomorrow instead of Sat...talk me down please!!!

murree · 20/07/2017 15:41

Hello Ladies,
I'm currently 9 dpo and AF would be due next Tuesday.... No symptoms other than a heavy feeling in my tummy.
Have my fingers crossed for you all!

Betsyboo87 · 20/07/2017 15:27

Ellie hopefully we all see a blazing BFP this week but if not, same place next month?! I've not used this board much before but I needed some moral support this month and you guys have all been great.

Littlemiss yeah I'm a spotter Angry! It's been different this month as it usually turns straight into af but this month it stopped for two days and has now come back. Total confusion! The tests should come tomorrow but I'm going to have to get DH to hide them if af comes as I don't think I'll be able to cope with having tests in the house or I'll test early next month.

Littlemisssugarplum88 · 20/07/2017 15:23

Welcome Ellie. Are you not tempted to test?! Xx

EllieBluebells · 20/07/2017 15:14

I've just joined and even if AF arrives tomorrow (although spotting on and off has stopped and other symptoms not here yet 🤞🏼) as expected then I'm glad I will have a large network of people who I can share everyday of these cycles with especially the TWW! Good luck to everyone waiting to test this weekend and to everyone else waiting to try again 💜

Littlemisssugarplum88 · 20/07/2017 14:31

Is it tomorrow your tests are due to arrive Betsy? I never have spotting prior to af, is it normal for you?! Maybe it's a good sign?!

And yeah I think you're right, at least one us should see a positive this month. At least that way it'll give us all a bit more hope 💜xx

Betsyboo87 · 20/07/2017 14:08

Yep babies she is always here by now but I still think she could arrive today as my spotting seems more reddish than my normal spotting (sorry probs tmi!).

Happy and Littlemiss no news is good news! Surely statistically at least one person on this thread should get a bfp?! Spot the numbers geek Grin

Florence I hope you got home ok and managed to get some relaxation time x

Littlemisssugarplum88 · 20/07/2017 13:33

Sorry af has arrived for you babies, at least it was on time though and didn't keep you waiting and wondering. Fingers crossed for a may baby for you!

I'm 10dpo today too happy. I haven't really had any symptoms either other than sickness a few days ago but I'm putting that down to a bug now. No sore boobs or anything so I already reckon I'm out xx

happybus28 · 20/07/2017 13:10

Sorry AF showed up for you babies best of luck for next cycle Smile

Fingers crossed she stays away for you betsy

I'm 10 dpo today, feel fine. No spotting, tiny bit of cramping earlier but not much! I have quite a lot of CM today but other than that nothing much to report!

BabiesOnTheBrain1 · 20/07/2017 13:06

Hey @Betsyboo87 yeah I'm very happy my cycle has returned to normal, I know I'm luckier than some!
So you're officially late now? Am I right in thinking your cycle never goes past CD29?!

OP posts:
Betsyboo87 · 20/07/2017 12:46

Hi ladies, boo to af arriving babies but still go about your cycle lengths.

I'm still hanging in by a thread on cd30. I'm spotting but no af yet. I've actually just used a tampon to stop knicker watch! I fully expected her to be here when I woke up but I'm sure she'll be here by the end of the day.

How is everyone else doing?

BabiesOnTheBrain1 · 20/07/2017 12:31

Hi @EllieBluebells I'm out, AF is definitely here Smile I done a test on Tuesday night which was BFN so have been expecting her! Was quite glad I tested tbh, was having some symptoms that I'd hoped meant I'd fell this month, but then when I tested I was relieved to know I was just waiting for AF. Think I'd have gone mad waiting an extra couple of days only for her to show up!

OP posts:
EllieBluebells · 20/07/2017 11:23

I'm itching to test but no it's early and don't want a BFN when I'll question it until I'm at day 28. Hopefully this could be it for you BabiesOnTheBrain1 are you going to test? I'd usually be the same expecting full flown AF & now I'm just waiting 😰

BabiesOnTheBrain1 · 20/07/2017 07:40

*this morning, sorry! Still half asleep Grin

OP posts:
BabiesOnTheBrain1 · 20/07/2017 07:40

Funny you should say that @EllieBluebells I've never had spotting before either but that must be what it was yesterday - have woken up this more expecting full blown AF, and nothing! Do I just expect my period today? This will be CD30.

OP posts:
EllieBluebells · 19/07/2017 22:33

knicker watching is my current full time hobby (just my own lol)

EllieBluebells · 19/07/2017 22:32

I'm on day 25 and have had intermittent spotting in CM for first ever time day 22-24, expecting AF Saturday on wakening. Eeeek it's such a long weeeeek 😫

happybus28 · 19/07/2017 20:11

Sorry your having a hard time with your DH shortcake TTC definitely puts strain on your relationship, my DH is a bit the opposite and acts like he doesn't care sometimes which pisses me off. I just think he doesn't know how to deal with the fact it isn't taking longer than planned so just tries to act like everything's fine.

florence sounds like your having a stressful day!! Hope you get home okay and get your relaxing bath!

betsy and babies I'm keeping my FX for you both that it isn't AF! Very positive that your cycles have gone straight back to normal babies like you said it'll give you something to work with next month!

So tmi alert but me and DH DTD earlier and I had quite a bit of pink bleeding afterwards. Not sure what to think about that?? Never had that before so it freaked me out a bit. Not really had any spotting today until that. So confused!

Littlemisssugarplum88 · 19/07/2017 19:59

Ahh shortcake SadI'd be annoyed and upset at him too. He's probably blaming himself too for not being able to conceive with you; I always blame it on myself when it's actually a two way thing. Hope he makes it up to you soon.

Sounds like you're having a rough night Florence, I hope you're home and safe now.

Positive thinking Betsy; I like it Winkxx

Betsyboo87 · 19/07/2017 19:42

Sorry babies I'm such a bad influence!

BabiesOnTheBrain1 · 19/07/2017 19:25

😂 Betsy don't keep my hopes up! Had a negative test last night and then this, surely I'm out! But yes I'm over the moon my cycles have returned to normal so quickly Smile fingers crossed for cycle 2!
