@Chooklass same as you I don't feel any different, kind of expect to after everyone seems to have had symptoms before BFP. Roll on Saturday!

Betsyboo87 · 17/08/2017 12:25

@Chooklass I expect to feel totally different when I do finally get my bfp but in reality I think a lot of ladies don't feel any different at that point. I'm going away for the weekend and now thinking if af doesn't turn up tomorrow that I'll wait until I'm back on Sunday.

@UppityStitch I don't think anything is tmi on these boards! I don't have the answer though.....

UppityStitch · 17/08/2017 12:15

So, it's creamy CM a good sign then? I wanted to ask before as I had been feeling a bit moist but thought it was a bit TMI

Chooklass · 17/08/2017 12:12

I feel totally normal (8/9 dpo) so not hopeful for this month (I just feel like I would feel 'different' somehow?). Going to test on Saturday. X

Betsyboo87 · 17/08/2017 11:51

@Ashbeckk I'm due tomorrow. My pre af spotting has stopped but I'm not going to read into it as it did that last month too (previously it's always just got heavier and turned into af).

ThreeAfter30 · 17/08/2017 11:23

Congrats Penny! Thats super news! Aww its lovely to see lots of bfps on here, hopefully loads more to come.

Sorry the witch came unicorn. Big massive good luck for next cycle 💐

Syd im using ovia too but my app updated a few days ago and theres now a section for notes. Its still not great though so i might give it one more cycle then try a different one. I also think that sounds like IB syd. Whitey creamy cm is a good sign too is it not? I really hope you get your bfp.

I think im out for this cycle. Cd25 and ive had pink spotting. Also checked cervix and theres blood there and cant find cm so it defo must be af. Ah well heres to next cycle 😊

Ashbeckk · 17/08/2017 11:06

Thanks Unicorn the mc devastated us. I was due in October and as the month is approaching am getting antsy to be pregnant before that. Sorry this isn't the thread for that!
Fingers crossed it happens for both of us soon x

Betsy when is af due?

Betsyboo87 · 17/08/2017 10:54

Sorry af arrived unicorn.

No af yet but my bbs aren't really sore anymore which is a sign she's on her way. Honestly I don't know why I get so hopeful each month.

UnicornsandRainbows1 · 17/08/2017 10:44

@Ashbeckk That must really suck Sad No need to apologise or be sorry at all! It Must be really hard not exactly knowing where you stand with everything when all you want is normality. I hope mine will stay at 28 days but you never know. Im sorry youre going through such a crap time afterwards.

northernlass81 · 17/08/2017 10:05

wow great news for you Penny

@whytheheck I think we may be due date buddies! Also due April 28th but trying to not get too carried away as still only 12 dpo but lines getting darker each day (I need to stop POAS!) so trying to think positive. How are you feeling? I've not told my dh yet but will do once my period is officially late - Sunday.

@Syd - still some hope for you - keeping everything crossed. I'm still suprised as only dtd once this month (and at least 4 days before ov) as husband then went away for work so was certain I was out this month. I got a migraine at 7 dpo which started me wondering as this happened when I got pregnant in March but ended in a MMC. Boobs were a little but tingly but nothing more than normal and tired but again normal with having a 2 year old! Since finding out on Tuesday boobs have become more veiny and just feel pregnant but that's about it.

Fingers crossed for all of you being so patient.

Ashbeckk · 17/08/2017 09:52

Unicorn sorry about af turning up. After my eprc in april, my periods came back 31-31-54 days so I was getting quite worked up that the mc messed up my cycle amongst other emotions. This is my 4th month after the eprc and first cycle of trying so hopefully my period goes back to my normal 26-28 days.

It's shit I know and am really sorry for saying this but at least your period won't mess you like mine did. Flowers

UnicornsandRainbows1 · 17/08/2017 09:45

Thanks everyone. I think the good news (if there is anyway) is that if I go from the date after the d&c (in my eyes it's then a full day so a good starting point) it then puts me on a 28 day cycle exactly which is what I was before, so that's positive at least

Ashbeckk · 17/08/2017 09:44

Did an IC test which was negative. Will buy a frer on saturday if af doesn't turn up tomorrow or saturday.

WonderfullySunny · 17/08/2017 09:20

Sorry for the link fail there Confused

Sazwest · 17/08/2017 09:06

So AF is due tomorrow and I always getting spotting 2-3 days before and so far nothing. I've work up this morning to really dry lips having to use lip balm and I never get sore lips and a little constipated and feeling a little wet down there ( sorry tmi) I actually thought AF had started but hasn't oh and a mega bad back. I'm really hoping these are all good signs xx

WonderfullySunny · 17/08/2017 09:05

@Unicorns sorry to hear AF made herself known, stopping and starting again is especially arsey!

@SydBound27 @Penny31 not testing today, will see if he willpower holds out until Saturday when AF is due!

@Syd have you had any symptoms either way? @Gennz it might be implantation bleeding as it's brown, never know :)

UppityStitch · 17/08/2017 08:50

So sorry to hear that @UnicornsandRainbows1 Sad. Fingers crossed for next month.

I'm not testing today as I still think it's far too early (AF due to Tues/Weds). Ordered some internet cheapies from Amazon that won't turn up until tomorrow so that's helping with the willpower a bit. Although the expired Asda test is calling me lol

Penny31 · 17/08/2017 08:26

@unicorns sorry to hear af got you! Best of luck for next month!

Anyone testing today??

Gennz · 17/08/2017 08:07

I'm holding out til tomorrow (only because I have no tests!)

I had a tiny amount of brown discharge this afternoon - gross sorry - one wipe's worth but I'm tending to think that's AF making herself known 😨 On my way home to have a large glass of wine! (It's evening where I am don't worry 😂)

SydBound27 · 17/08/2017 06:55

@putty going completely against all instincts I'm not testing this morning. Only have two frer left (no more ics) so waiting it out to see what the sporting was all about. If it's af she should turn up today/tomorrow, and if ib it probably won't show up on frer yet. Pretty resigned to it not happening this month though.

@unicorns what a drag. Sorry you're out, roll on next cycle and fx to you

Who's testing today?

intelligentPutty · 17/08/2017 06:48

Congratulations @Penny31 can't believe how quick that was!! U don't hang around. ;)

@SydBound27 @Betsyboo87 @Gennz Are u all going to test today?
Fx to u.

intelligentPutty · 17/08/2017 06:46

Hey @UnicornsandRainbows1 sorry to hear that. But at least know a good starting point. Onwards to the next cycle. Xx

Chooklass · 17/08/2017 05:36

Sorry @Unicorns - that sucks. On plus side at least she was punctual, so less agonising? Onwards with next cycle! X

UnicornsandRainbows1 · 17/08/2017 01:51

Well, looks like the very split second arrival of AF is here. Ah you complete bitch.

Betsyboo87 · 17/08/2017 00:38

gennz fingers crossed for you. We're on the same cycle day and I've never been later than 29 days so it's starting to get v hard not to test!

syd could be IB?
