I know a few people will unfortunately be joining me eventually so I figured I'd get this bus going.
My cycles are crazy and averaging 60 days and I don't think I've ovulated yet so I'm out for April.

Age: 27
TTC: #1
Cycle: #4 (month 8)
CD: #25

Not holding much hope for conception at the moment but I've got to wait until August anyway.
Such an optimistic person to start the new bus!

I caved and tested too which was daft as it was always going to be negative. There was a shadow on it which caught my eye though but couldn't see it when I took a picture Blush

Hi @BuntyII and @starsandstuff glad I’m not alone!

starsandstuff · 20/05/2018 12:07

Oh congrats @sauvblanc21 !! Thanks

starsandstuff · 20/05/2018 12:07

I'm not sure when I ov this month, felt what I consider ov pain on the 10th, which would be early, but then same again on the opposite side on the 16th, so I'm either 10dpo or 4dpo (or neither!) Either way prob too early to test, but felt odd this morning - nauseous, weird "pulling" feeling down there, so I stupidly tested. BFN obviously! Had promised myself I'd wait til AF is due but I can see what I'm going to be like Grin

BuntyII · 20/05/2018 11:33

Congratulations @sauvblanc21!

@EverythingNow I'm here... 8dpo and due on at the weekend. It's driving me mad not testing! My boobs are sore and I'm a bit bloated and gassy.

sauvblanc21 · 20/05/2018 10:43

Thank you @EverythingNow! X

EverythingNow · 20/05/2018 10:29

Aw congratulations @sauvblanc21!

sauvblanc21 · 20/05/2018 09:58

Turns out forcing ourselves to have very unsexy mid-flu sex this month was worth it Smile

Good morning all! It’s a little quiet on here, 6dpo here and AF not due until 27th - who else is still left?

Obviously no symptoms to report...but I was woken in the night having sharp stabbing pains in my lower stomach so of course I’m hoping it was implantation rather than indigestion Grin

bubblybrit · 18/05/2018 17:08

@LookingAtTheStars89. I’m currently on CD8 so expecting the fun and games to start again in a few days. How’s you? X

Han2699 · 18/05/2018 14:37

I'm expecting af to arrive because of that temp drop, but as this is my first month tempting I don't know what my normal pattern is. Will wait and see what happens with it tomorrow. Fingers crossed anyway... and same for you @Owlpatrol Smile

polkadotjersey · 18/05/2018 14:10

Han2699 I've been temping since January (only on Cycle 2 TTC though) and my temperature normally drops right down towards the cover line like that just before AF I'm afraid.

It can bounce back up again though you're not out yet.

Owlpatrol · 18/05/2018 13:50

@Han2699 oh your graph does look good perhaps wait 2 days and test again?

I was going to test this morning but cramps have starred so I didn't bother in the end. Af due around Wednesday next week x

Han2699 · 18/05/2018 10:38

Hi all,

I'm on month 13 now! Had 21 day blood test this month and results came back 'normal'. My cycle is always 28-29 days depending on my O day - I expected af on Wednesday but so far she's a no show and until today my temps have looked good, but took a test this morning an bfn. Gutted and no idea what to think. I'm never this late.

Here's my chart (it's my first month charting and my thermometer didn't turn up until a few days in - previously I just used opks and relied on symptoms. It always seems to be around day 14).

Any advice appreciated!

@Owlpatrol sorry about the stupid NHS losing your results! But at least it can be done again, don't lose faith!

@LookingAtTheStars89 I've replied on the other thread xx

LookingAtTheStars89 · 18/05/2018 09:56

@bubblybrit. And @xlauraa. How are you doing? x

Owlpatrol · 17/05/2018 22:22

@BuntyII I still love that advice it gives me hope every month!

JustLikeTheySaid · 17/05/2018 19:38

Definitely a negative on the FRER. 3days before AF due so should be showing by now. Very frustrated. :(

HidCat · 17/05/2018 19:15

@MaGratgarlik1983 I'm so sorry. 💐

@Spottyyellowdress well that's a relief!

Curlypop · 17/05/2018 18:37

I'm sorry @MaGratgarlik1983 xx

Spottyyellowdress · 17/05/2018 16:53

So turns out the phlebotomist labeled the blood tests wrong and therefore said my day 5 blood test was my day 21 and that’s why it was dissatisfactory - turns out my hormone levels are absolutely fine!

EverythingNow · 17/05/2018 16:32

Sorry AF got you @Dumbledoresocks!

Sorry to hear your news to @MaGratGarlik1983, I had a chemical last cycle. It’s so gutting!

@keiki, sorry you are struggling, I can empathise dc1 and 3 were unplanned Blush dc2 took 5-6 cycles. I’m currently on cycle 12 ttc4. Although I got lucky last month I lost it after 5days and I kind of feel like it might not happen again now.

@BuntyII I also had cramps in all my successful pregnancies. They were my only symptom... before the heartburn kicked in.

Pudding01 · 17/05/2018 15:54

Thanks @BuntyII I'm really hoping it is baby cramps and not extra long premenstrual ones x

BuntyII · 17/05/2018 15:12

Those of you with cramps, I'm not trying to get your hopes up but I got cramps with DS1 just like AF cramps. You're not out til you're out

MaGratgarlik1983 · 17/05/2018 14:56

Hi ladies. Well, my tests got fainter until they were negative, so I'm thinking it's another chemical. Never mind, at least I can enjoy some local wine on holiday! Or perhaps a faulty test? I've also realised how much I love DS and how happy we are as a family of three. So many things are just so much easier and DH and I can really focus on him. I think I got so hung up on the idea of him having a sibling that I didn't really think through the implications of expanding our family. Think we're going to take some time of ttc and just enjoy how we are right now. Best of luck to all you wonderful and supportive ladies.
