Hi ladies.
This was the first month not tracking after trying for 8 months and getting nowhere.
My last 3 cycles lasted 28, 29 and 32 days, but think the last one may have been a CP.
No idea which date I actually ovulated, but felt cramping on and off since early last week and I'm due AF any time from Monday.

Think I'm going to do a test at the weekend, because I can't just sit and wait! Praying it's a BFP Thanks

@sprinkleofsunshine great news on af absence, me too but still bfn this morning. Significant bbt rise this morning though after a bit of a drop yesterday, wondering if that could possibly be an implantation drop yesterday followed by a rise today or if I'm just grasping at straws?! Would be late if so as I'm 10dpo with AF due today so implantation at day 9, but possible?! Thoughts?!

@VenusStarr so sorry to hear that, fx for next month hugs

sprinkleofsunshine · 25/05/2018 07:27

Sorry to hear that @VenusStarr hoping June is the month for you! X

How is everyone today? Af didn't arrive yesterday and so far no signs today, keepin fx, haven't tested yet will try to wait until tomorrow morning if she hasn't come by then

VenusStarr · 24/05/2018 15:08

Have started light bleeding now :( feel OK but sad at the same time. Have booked an acupuncture consultation for next week as I've heard good things about it.

Sorry about the bfn @Murphyrocks, I'll still check in to see how you guys are doing. Fingers crossed for you! Good luck @Karigan1 we've been trying a similar amount of time, hope this is your month :)

Murphyrocks · 24/05/2018 13:31

Good luck @Karigan1, I just caved and did another test, still bfn but no sign of af so wait and see! Fx for your bfp!

Karigan1 · 24/05/2018 11:01

About 5th month trying here. I’m going to test tomorrow. Actually have a lot of symptoms so think it might be possible. I am however very aware that symptoms can fool you!

Murphyrocks · 24/05/2018 09:41

I'm on my second month too @sprinkleofsunshine but I didn't O last month and didn't actually get a positive lh test this month but did get the temp spike so pretty sure I o'd. We'll see either way soon!

sprinkleofsunshine · 24/05/2018 09:10

It's only my second month ttc, I'm using an app which is usually spot on or a day out so I'm kind of going by that, I did use opks but haven't this month & I also didn't feel o this month like I usually do so actually might not even be in with a shout ConfusedSad we will see today or tomorrow prob!

FlapJackered · 24/05/2018 08:39

@sprinkleofsunshine - are you doing opks if you are not temping, or just going with the flow?
I am thinking I might give up the temping next cycle as it doesn't seem to predict anything useful for me!

sprinkleofsunshine · 24/05/2018 08:18

It is hard, thanks @Murphyrocks ahh great, thank you! Ha

Murphyrocks · 24/05/2018 08:00

@sprinkleofsunshine ic=internet cheapy pregnancy test, sorry long time lurker here so picked up too much of the lingo! Wish I could avoid temping/testing every day, can't stop myself! Fx for your bfp Smile

sprinkleofsunshine · 24/05/2018 07:56

Can't tell*

sprinkleofsunshine · 24/05/2018 07:56

@Murphyrocks what's an ic? Looks like we are in same position with af due today/tomorrow. I'm not temping though so can tell where I am and haven't taken another test since 10dpo when I got a bfn, fx for us both!

Murphyrocks · 24/05/2018 07:55

Hi @FlapJackered, welcome! Come wait with us!

sprinkleofsunshine · 24/05/2018 07:54

Thank you @VenusStarr still keeping my fx for you! If af doesn't arrive by tomorrow afternoon I'll likely cave & test.

Hi @FlapJackered fx for you!

Murphyrocks · 24/05/2018 07:54

@VenusStarr sorry to hear that but still fx until af fully arrived! Poas again this morning and bfn on ic and frer :( af due in the next day or two so will just have to see what comes. Had a bit of a temp drop this morning too so not that hopeful either.

VenusStarr · 24/05/2018 07:49

Yeh. Just spotting @sprinkleofsunshine not a lot at all. I guess not out yet but with my temperature being so low I'm not hopeful. Really hope you get a positive :)

Hi @FlapJackered fingers crossed

FlapJackered · 24/05/2018 07:46

Can I join too?
I had a positive clear blue ovulation test a week ago, but my bbt still hasn't gone over the cover line since the suppose ovulation day, so I am not getting too hopeful but if the digital opk was right I should test on 1st June. It is going to take some self control not to test before
Fingers crossed the temperatures are wrong!
Good luck everyone!

sprinkleofsunshine · 24/05/2018 07:31

@VenusStarr is it just spotting? Hopefully not out until a full blown period?

I'm going to try to hold out until sat morn to test, af due today/tomorrow no signs yet & I woke up this morning and had a very sharp stabbing like pain all across my lower abdomen for a few seconds. Not had since. Burning sensation subsided for the most part.

VenusStarr · 24/05/2018 07:01

Morning, I think I'm out. Temperature has dropped to coverline today and (tmi) but had brown spotting after dtd last night. Also if I do come on today my cycle is 23 days but lp would be 12 so I think that's OK

@sprinkleofsunshine when are you testing? I've not had that with not wanting anything on my skin. Could be a good sign

@Murphyrocks are you you testing again today? Fingers crossed!

Murphyrocks · 23/05/2018 23:01

@sprinkleofsunshine I'm 8-9dpo, 9-10 in an hour's time(!), but I only have a 10 day lp so af due in the next day or two, 24th/25th. That's an interesting symptom re the tingling/burning under the skin, not something I've experienced before but imho anything not normal for you could be a good sign! Fx for you too!

sprinkleofsunshine · 23/05/2018 22:41

@Murphyrocks how many dpo are you?

@VenusStarr any more symptoms today? Not many from me but I've been working away so maybe I'm just not over analysing as much- few niggles around hips/ribs. I'm having the strangest sensation tonight though had to undo trousers on way home as I couldn't have the fabric against my skin and lower region like pelvic area and into hips feels like a burning sensation under the skin. Ever had this?

Murphyrocks · 23/05/2018 22:36

@VenusStarr yes I'm terrible for taking photos and imagining lines, my oh thinks I'm crazy but it's hard not to get a little obsessed! No af so still hope! I'll take another ic in the morning, then frer if that's negative. I gots to know! Wink

sprinkleofsunshine · 23/05/2018 21:19

Fx to us all still in Grinx

VenusStarr · 23/05/2018 21:06

Hi @Karigan1 fingers crossed for you :)

Thanks @Murphyrocks did a cheapie test when I got home, thought I saw a shadow of something, took a photo but deleted it after staring at it for so long! Not feeling hopeful now. Don't feel like I'm coming on though so who knows.

Murphyrocks · 23/05/2018 18:24

Thanks @VenusStarr! Baby dust to us both!

@Karigan1 that does sound promising although quite early - I'm the opposite with a very short 10 day luteal phase so expect things comparatively earlier! Anything that's not normal for you I'd say is a good sign, fx!
