Anyone due to test around 18th Aug?

*testing not resting!! 😂

AF arrived properly overnight so I am out! Felt disproportionately upset about it considering it's only cycle 2 of trying but a several large glasses of wine cheered me up a bit. Onwards to the next cycle and this time I swear I'm not resting til AF is overdue (I say that every time 😳)

Good luck to everyone still in with a chance, fingers crossed for you!

@UppityStitch @Chooklass that's rubbish but, as you say, it's still early so you're still in the race!

Ha @UppityStitch me too - BFN (so much for behaving myself this month). We're far too early for testing!

Oh no @Betsyboo87. Fingers crossed the U/S sheds some light on what's going on.

Good luck to those back in the race.

Why oh why did I do it to myself? Got a BFN when I knew it was far too early. I convinced myself I was having 'signs'.

@Betsyboo It seems strange as we seem to be a day out from each other too.

I'll try to just see what happens tonight, maybe it'll pick up. I have tests that should arrive tomorrow morning but (as for myself) I will be 100% stunned if it turns out to be anything than a weird blip

@UnicornsandRainbows1 and @Polly85 that's strange! I hope it is promising.

I know what you mean about going backwards though Unicorn, I've accepted af is coming now so hoping she hurries up so I can move on.

@Polly Maybe I've misread myself but I better not go backwards because I can't deal with any false hope right now. I just need it to hurry up!

I've had shooting pains in my boobs (which happened before) and veins have appeared around the area but who knows. I'll put it down to my body being a fucker and just adjusting to normality again. It just has a really crappy way of doing it

@Betsyboo87 that is poo. I'm sorry. Xx

@UnicornsandRainbows1 I've had the weird orangey-ness and the occasional af-like feeling too. Fx for both of us. Do you have any symptoms at all? I have nothing.

Betsy that sucks hope the U/S sheds some light for you.
Caved and got another BFN this morning. No AF yet but not feeling hopeful.

@Polly oddly enough as of now my 'period seems to be so light and not actually red, more a weird tingey orange colour what even is that?

Saying that it might pick up to something more normal as cramp pain is still about.

Guys I'm tentatively counting myself back in, because what I thought was AF has actually just been 3/4 days of spotting that is hardly there any more. I was 5 days early, so I'm a bit suspicious of what the hell my body thinks it's doing. Did a boots own FRER this am and got a bfn at 10/11 dpo.

Thanks guys! @Chooklass fx for your results - let me know how you get on. My gynae refuses to do bloods as she is convinced progesterone isn't the problem. Everything I've read suggests that it could be but I can't really tell her that google is more qualified than her......

Aw @Betsy that's rubbish. Hope the u/s sheds some light. I got bloods taken this month because of my spotting, should get results tomorrow. It's all so frustrating.

@Betsyboo That really sucks!

Spotting is back and heavier so pretty much 100% sure I'm out. Totally gutted. I have a u/s next week to get the ball rolling on why this is taking so long but I had secretly hoped I'd get a bfp and would be cancelling!

Ooh, I'm 8/9dpo too ... getting tougher to concentrate on anything else!!!

Thanks
It's a bargain basement one. Saw it on my way to the till at Wilko and it ended up in my basket. Looks like it's 20 U/ml. Didn't want to spend a fortune when I'm only 8/9 dpo

Fingers crossed @Uppity! If it's an expensive one I'd wait for morning to be sure of better result (speaking as someone who spent a small fortune last month ... ). But I know how tough it is waiting so a couple of hours and don't drink anything will probably do the trick

@UppityStitch I'd say at least 2hours? Only because my opks say to hold it that long... Also depends on the test - Is it a sensitive one like a frer?

Good luck!

I caved and bought a test at lunchtime . How long between 'wees' is a decent enough time to get a result?

@SydBound27 Ahhh the bfn is annoying but hang in there! It's good to know you didn't really have any symptoms until 12 weeks aside from the sore boobs. I'm so annoyed that mine have been less sore today, I totally feel out now and I wanted to cling onto the dream for another day. Sigh.

@Wonderful, yeah I've been feeling pretty weird to be honest - bigger and twingey boobs and tired, and with this spotting I'm just not sure what to make of it all. I think I just had my hopes a bit too high this month.

@thereafter30 I think that sort of CM is a good sign (?!) so not out of the race yet...

I caved and used one of my frer's just now, as I got my bfp at 12dpo last time (I'm 12 dpo today I think), and was a bfn! What am i DOING! Argh. Spotting has stopped now and don't feel af coming yet so I think my cycle might just be playing silly buggers.

I think in terms of symptoms, last time I just had sore boobs. I didn't get nausea until i was 12 weeks so otherwise felt normal.

@Ashbeckk oh that's not too far away then sadly. I'll be thinking of you in October. I think the Christmas/New Years period will be a bit emotionally rough on me. Mine would've been due in January and my auntie had her LO a couple of weeks ago so cue the family swarm over that not that I'm bitterly jealous over it right now or anything

How many days until AF for you, I can't quite remember? I'm hoping it happens for you soon!
