Not yet, waiting until tomorrow to test again. But my temps keep going up so that's a good sign. AF due yesterday/today.

Sorry to hear AF has made an appearance :(

8days!!!!!!! 🤞 sounds even more promising!

8DaysAWeek · 21/08/2018 22:29

No way I totally get that alice! And I feel the exact same way.

Thanks so much for your support guys. Will take another test in a few days and hopefully see some progression

Thanks for your crossed fingers ladies. Had another faint line this morning and got my bfp confirmed with a FRER tonight :)) so so happy and just praying it sticks.

It may be totally unrelated but this cycle we used Conceive Plus lubricant which we hadn't used before.

alicepol · 21/08/2018 07:12

Fingers crossed @8daysaweek
13 dpo and complete BFN. Boobs are starting to hurt a tad bit which means AF will defo be arriving soon this week Sad

Keepin my fx for you @8daysaweek that sounds really promising.

I’m still only on 3dpo with having longer cycles and it feels like it taken forever to get to this point.

Hopefully this 2ww flys over

BasinHaircut · 20/08/2018 20:31

Fingers crossed for you 8days 🤞 sounds promising.

CD2 here and planning on having a few Gin over the bank holiday weekend.

8DaysAWeek · 20/08/2018 19:38

How is everyone?

This morning and this evening I've had suuuuuper faint second lines on the internet cheapies. I've been testing since Friday and am used to seeing the evaps but these are different. AF due in 2 days and started cramping tonight which is worrying. We'll see what tomorrow brings. I know I should get a FRER but don't want to pay for the disappointment of a potential bfn.

BasinHaircut · 19/08/2018 08:08

8days sometimes it isn’t the right time but I guess it’s never the perfect time either. Life is what happens when you are making plans as they say....

BasinHaircut · 19/08/2018 08:06

AF has arrived so I’m officially out. I forgot how much this bloody hurts when you aren’t on the pill!

8days it’s arrived at 10DPO for the past 2 months now. We TTC briefly last year and although I can’t remember the exact length, I remember my LP being short then too.

Oh well, at least I now don’t have to fake drinking at my best friend’s wedding this week, I can real drink Grin. Every cloud and all that.....

But CD1 here. Thinking of trying to do SMEP this month but I don’t think neither DH or I have the stamina for it Confused

8DaysAWeek · 19/08/2018 07:50

And my bloody phone has done that thing where it ignores paragraphs I enter!! Sorry about the long passage :(

8DaysAWeek · 19/08/2018 07:49

basin I'm on cycle 5 after my period came back after I stopped breastfeeding, and my LPs were short to begin with but have extended (9, 11, 12, 12 and ?), which I read is pretty normal and I'm sure the same can be said about stopping the pill. I read that anything less than 10 days isn't ideal, so I wouldn't panic yet but hopefully it extends for you. Has AF showed??

Aw Alice me!! I'm frustrated because my chart doesn't pinpoint O (which is one of the main reasons I bloody temp in the first place!) So I could be 8dpo or 10dpo. Either way bfn this morning.

DH and I had a chat yesterday and decided it actually makes a lot of sense if we delay TTC for a few more years and focus on work and moving house to get DS into a better catchment area for school. We said we'll stop trying after this cycle. And now I'm so conflicted with what I want!! Head says wait, heart says baby. I'm still hoping for a bfp but at least we have a good backup plan if it's not our month (again!).

alicepol · 19/08/2018 06:28

11 dpo and complete BFN don't think it's my month AGAIN!
anyone else getting a bit fed up?

OP posts:
BasinHaircut · 18/08/2018 18:11

I have no idea 8days, it’s only my second month off the pill so can’t really compare.

I’m convincing myself that I’m having twinges on one side that could be implantation, but really what I’m actually worried about is my short LP. AF coming at 10DPO isn’t great is it? I know it’s not the shortest, but if some people actually implant later than 10DPO then it could prevent me falling pregnant?

We are trying for DC2 so I know I can get pregnant, but we weren’t trying for DS so I have no idea about implantation etc. I assume that it happened on a day I went to a funeral when I got overly emotional about some flowers not being quite right, and then got so tired I went to bed at 8pm, but this was based on scan dates not periods or ovulation.

8DaysAWeek · 18/08/2018 17:56

I get exactly how you are feeling halfblood. I was the same last month and just knew.

Hoping this thread gets some much needed good luck soon.

Still not out basin. Is it normal for you to get a bit of brown spotting before AF?

TheHalfBloodPrincess · 18/08/2018 17:11

I was expecting it anyway. I think that’s why I wasn’t bothered about testing and why I was upset yesterday.

I’ve checked the past 3 cycles and I’ve ovulated on day 17, day 16 and day 15. If it follows that pattern and I ov on day 14 next month then I’m out next cycle too as dp is away with work and doesn’t get back until the day after.

So fed up with it all 😡

Starting 2ww once again! Who's with me?
BasinHaircut · 18/08/2018 17:06

Thanks alice.

At the moment I’m hoping it’s implantation bleeding but know it’s probably not.

I just read that 8-10 days is when most implantations happen and HGC may not show up in urine for another 3-4 days after that and so a negative at 12DPO wouldn’t necessarily mean you are out. By those maths most BFPs would show between 11 and 14 days.
