Af due on weds😁

Fatcat17 · 02/10/2017 21:18

I read this thread this morning and was just waiting for some peace tonight to post....I was hoping to be an Oct tester but period unexpectedly arrived today, at least 4 days early! A vague hope it was implant bleeding since I'm about 10dpo but it really does seem like a proper period. Though my boobs are massive which isn't a usual symptom for me. But think I'd be getting my hopes up to think about implantation bleeding. This is so frustrating!! My last few month cycles were 27, 26 then 26 days, then this one is 23. Ggrrrr!! I'm gonna keep following this thread though, good luck everyone!

I did a test today, stupidly, and obviously it was a BFN. Am trying not to test again until Thursday but I'm not sure I'll be able to hold back

Mrsmumtobe · 02/10/2017 19:27

Congratulations Si1ver! Soo pleased for you, I'd say it was exactly because you relaxed and 'gave up' that it worked this time! (From my wealth of knowledge Grin Wink

Welcome Colonel, Pink chocolate and ash!

I think people start pots anytime from 2/3 days before af due but if you can wait that long you are better than me! Ive had 3 attempts last week and AF due tomorrow/wed/thur!
Ash, you don't mind my asking, a chemical preg? Is that just a hormonal + but not true Bfp?

Hoping for BFP for all you lot next week!

waves I'm 7dpo and having LOADS of symptoms but AF isn't due until Sunday. Am going mad wondering when I should test!!

Si1ver · 02/10/2017 19:19

It's the biggest relief. We basically thought it wasn't going to happen for us as I'm 36 and my husband is nearly 39.

He's been walking around with a huge grin on his face and he's so excited. He keeps saying to me "I'm going to be a dad".

I'm desperate to tell people and keep going back to look at my test.

intelligentPutty · 02/10/2017 19:02

Big big congrats @Si1ver
Must be such a relief for you!! Grin

user1481271611 · 02/10/2017 18:52

EverythingNow · 02/10/2017 16:11

Congratulations si1ver lovely needs x

PinkChocolatex · 02/10/2017 13:42

@si1ver congratulations Smile bet you're so excited!!! xx

Si1ver · 02/10/2017 13:36

Don't be silly Colonel, thanks for the congratulations and I hope things look up for you.

The only thing that I can identify which was different this month was that I felt super mucusey (tmi) but we honestly had sex three times in my fertile window and didn't bother with lying down afterwards or raising my legs. If honestly given up.

thecolonelbumminganugget · 02/10/2017 13:28

Apologies si1ver I missed your post when I was having a moan above - massive congratulations! Great stuff, well done you x Flowers

Si1ver · 02/10/2017 13:26

Thanks AnythingNotEverything!

That's my very first BFP and I'm vascilitating between terrified and super excited.

AnythingNotEverything · 02/10/2017 13:23

Si1ver! Congratulations!

thecolonelbumminganugget · 02/10/2017 13:03

Hey everyone. AF due for me sat/Sun, bfn on a frer this morning so I'm not getting my hopes up plus my chart was all over the place this month but ultimately didn't look like I ovulated (No real temp rise). Had quite painful cramping for the last week, I'll do a normal test if AF not here by this time next week I guess.

Wishing the rest of you all the luck and positivity I wish I had for myself!!

PinkChocolatex · 02/10/2017 12:23

Hello hello ladies...I'm an October tester yippee although I just want to be pregs now ..AF due on 10/11th October with Ovulation on 26th September so I guess 6dpo...ugh I just can't stop POAS - really want it to be this cycle with us! I would love a June baby and tbh it's just started to really get me down with the waiting. I've got no symptoms apart from slightly heavier boobs but that happens when AF is due anyway!!! Arghhh

ash1987 · 02/10/2017 11:50

Hello fellow October testers, thanks for setting up the group @mrsmumtobe

I am currently 8/9 DPO and AF due on 8/10. Travelling with work atm, so lots of evenings on my own away from hubby and feel like I am perhaps over analysing every little difference in my body. going insane
last week on 5/6 dpo lots of cramps and 'pulling'. saw people experience this before, but never felt it... weird sensation.
boobs very itchy, like insatiable, have to keep rushing to the bathroom as its very intense.
this is my 4th cycle TTC, with a very early chemical pregnancy in cycle 2. this will be baby number 1.

when would you girls test?? I have been restrained until now and I know the right answer is wait until AF is late.... but I have bought the clear blue early test and dying to do. So AF is due in 7 days!

sending you all good vibes whatever stage on your cycle you are at!!

Si1ver · 02/10/2017 11:28

We've been trying for 18 months and tbh had agreed to start adoption proceedings after Christmas. I stopped posting about trying because it was getting me down so much. My period isn't due for another two days, but I felt absolutely rotten this morning and my breasts have been aching for close to a week so I poas for the first time in six months

Any October testers?
Mrsmumtobe · 02/10/2017 11:04

Hi @cherryvicky!
It's frustrating huh. Only cycle 1 and af due pretty much tomorrow or Wednesday so on tenterhooks right now!
Had no real unusual symptoms though, but did wake up feeling bloated which is the norm for Af but been feeling lightheaded and dizzy all morning which I never normally do 😏
Think I'm going to be out though and onto cycle 2 next month!

CherryVicky29 · 02/10/2017 10:20

Can I join currently 5dpo on second cycle 🙂 last cycle i POAS too many times so trying to keep busy till af due next Monday

EverythingNow · 02/10/2017 09:12

I tracked my cycles with reasonable success for the 18m before ttc by cm and using the clue app.

Since ttc I’ve been using opks (just cheapies) glow app and also keeping an eye on cm. This month I got a positive opk next cd10 and ewcm leading up to that. I have short cycles but this was early even for me!

Mrsmumtobe · 02/10/2017 08:13

I also use an app which tells me a date but I didn't feel any different on that day (or the days around it) so wasn't sure if it is right.....
will maybe get the wee test sticks if nothing this month or next

OP posts:
AnythingNotEverything · 02/10/2017 07:16

I use an app to track AF etc which says when it is likely to occur, but I can tell also when I ovulate. There's a clear change in CM and often libido too.

Mrsmumtobe · 01/10/2017 22:02

Is there a way to know ovulation aside from the tests? Everyone seems to date testing etc around dpo but I've no clue?
I have done a couple of cheap early internet tests Friday and today both bfn (mind you it was afternoon/evening on both of them after reading other peoples excitement on here getting the better of me!)
This week is going to be the slowest week ever!

JadeA021 · 01/10/2017 21:46

@Pumpkinpatch000 I might be wrong but I think they're roughly all the same I think, I'm using just the cheap ones at the moment but I suppose for extra reassurance clear blue or first response are your best:) They do all work the same though.
