OPKS - check, pre-seed - check, pregnacare - check, BD every 2 days over fertile week and again on what should be ovulation day - check. I think we've done everything we could possibly have done, so if it's not meant to be then it's not meant to be.

Welcome @Catspajamas85! Ugh it's so annoying isn't it - time sex perfectly, use things like preseed, take your prenatal supplements and you still might not fall pregnant! What happened to all that chat from the teachers about how easy it is to fall pregnant??

Anyone else a Mean Girls fan? "Dont have sex, because you will get pregnant and die!"

starsandstuff · 23/05/2018 20:52

Hi @Cats! I've definitely seen people here say they got BFNs up to a few days after AF was due and then got their BFP so don't give up yet x

TheTittifersHaveSungTheirSong · 23/05/2018 20:28

@Catspajamas85 welcome! You're definitely not out until AF, just may have lower levels of hcg etc. 🤞 for you

TheTittifersHaveSungTheirSong · 23/05/2018 20:26

Oh-there's another baby announcement from a close friend-I'm super happy for her but she said herself "it should have been me first" 🤦🏻‍♀️
So many baby's popping about at the moment!

@FoxyRoxy - that's a great Idea, thanks for the tip. Xx

@cats fx for you, you're not out until af shows xx

FoxyRoxy · 23/05/2018 20:20

@KimRobs87 my LP is 10 days, I managed to lengthen it with vit b6 when we were ttc #2 so I'm taking it again now I'm off the pill. I was given progesterone supplements but even with them I used to start bleeding while still on them so I researched natural ways to lengthen the LP and b6 came up. It doesn't affect pregnancy either so you can do it all cycle long xx

Catspajamas85 · 23/05/2018 20:19

@KimRobs87 it’s due Friday or Saturday. I think I put too much faith in all the extras this month!

Welcome @Catspajamas85! When is af due? We used preseed this month too for the first time.

@starsandstuff - thanks 😊I'm sure I'll feel better once I've slept on it xx

Hi guys can I join?
I’ve been following the thread over the last few days. I’m 12dpo and due af on fri or sat. Was dangerously optimistic this month because we used pre seed, opk and I felt like I had loads of symptoms, although as @8days said I know that doesn’t mean much. Took a first response this morning and bfn. Trying to keep some hope but I’m most likely out Sad gutted!

starsandstuff · 23/05/2018 20:13

Stay strong @KimRobs87 :)

@8DaysAWeek - I thought as much. It's so confusing. Thanks everyone, I know I'm being grumpy x

OP posts:
8DaysAWeek · 23/05/2018 20:04

Nah I still think that'd be too early. Implantation will either have just happened or not happened yet. Try hold out until Friday earliest!

KimRobs87 · 23/05/2018 20:03

Thanks @8DaysAWeek! Does that mean I should /can start testing tomorrow then? I'll still only be 8dpo x

Also - remember pregnancy symptoms are the result of high levels of progesterone, and AF symptoms are a result of high levels of progesterone. They go away as soon as we get our period because our progesterone drops sharply.

So there is NO WAY at this early stage to tell them apart (I know I'm totally shitting on our whole symptom spotting thread but just read this and pretend it never happened lol). You ain't out yet hun 😘

Thanks. I'm on cd24 today. This is why I'm bummed out - maybe I'm just feeling pre af symptoms 😩 also I read that having a 10 day luteal phase might mean you don't stay preg long! I already have a DS so really hope I'm not going to experience complications this time? Xx

OP posts:
8DaysAWeek · 23/05/2018 19:57

Have you been taking any supplements other than the usual stuff? Like B6?? Some things can extend your LP

8DaysAWeek · 23/05/2018 19:54

@KimRobs87 they say that the luteal phase doesn't really change every month, at most a day either way. If we assume you ovulate 24 hours after your peak, then you have a 9/10 day luteal phase. Which would make me think AF is due on CD 26-27?? What CD are you on?

Fredthespider · 23/05/2018 19:38

Oh gosh that's a hard one to judge! I'd have said a 31 day cycle to be safe, but getting the peak on CD16 is quite a bit earlier than the other months! I'd go with testing based on the peak though.

KimRobs87 · 23/05/2018 19:12

@Frizzy1986 Haha! I actually can't even be sure when mine is anymore? I thought I'd be due 31/05 but after looking at the last few months and I just don't know? What do you guys think?

Feb-/Mar
32 day cycle
Got peak on cd22

Mar/April
30 day cycle
Got peak on cd20

April / may (this cycle)
Got peak on cd16

I'm currently approx 7dpo and my app thinks my period will be due 31/05 however, that's 32 days?

I'm assuming testing is around how many days post ov you are but when do we think af might (hopefully not!) be due?

Thanks xxx

@KimRobs87 I'm feeling like I'm out too. Not a trace of a symptom - no bleeding, no cramps, boobs a bit fuller and nips tender but think that's just normal pre-AF stuff. Spot on my chin but that's not a symptom, it's Sod's law cos I'm out on Friday Grin We have a lovely holiday booked in July so I'm just telling myself that if it doesn't happen before then at least I can enjoy all the good and drink and not worry about being sick. But I'll see if that holds up if I get a BFN... Still planning on testing on Friday fx

FoxyRoxy · 23/05/2018 19:11

@cloud I definitely see a line there but try with fmu if you have a frer? @8days crazy dreams here too but I've put that down to taking b6... Although they started a few days ago? I suffer from quite bad anxiety and the last couple of days it's really ramped up, last night I was awake for about 2 hours so didn't even get the "full 3 hours sleep" for my bbt but still had a temp rise so I'll not moan too much!
