Anyone around 9 dpo?

@spottypjyamas.. so sorry to hear, how cruel of the witch to delay things.. xx

It does feel like a giant wait and I think we all feel your frustration.. it's just when you so desperately want something to get that horrid disappointment. I won't test again till weekend but yes you're right due Saturday.. my cm was as expected 10 days ago .. one day for us all this ttc malarcy will be a distant memory and hopefully we'll be cradling out bumps then a teeny beautiful baby xxx

Af finally arrived here too. 2 days late mind. Just to give me 2 days extra of thinking maybe just maybe. It seems that's happened to a few people this month, it's cruel but I guess stress induced. On to next month! Best of luck to all with tests still to do! X

@lavenderlove that's a great idea. Are you thinking of doing SMEP and not checking anything else? xx

@thethreeandme sorry for the BFN but it is early so may just be too soon for the test to pick it up.

I used a FRER this morning so less hopeful. If I had your average cycle so say a 14 day luteal phase my AF would be due at the weekend so still in the window that a FRER could pick it up.

I really dislike how this ttc is all about waiting. Like right now it's waiting for AF to show or possibly waiting to do another test.

Then once AF arrives, it's waiting for that to finish and for a little time to pass before starting OPKs where we are waiting for them to be positive.

Even if you get a BFP you have to wait to see how that develops.

It's just very frustrating, sorry rant over.

interestingly I googled when to test and put in what I think my ovulation date was (taking static smiley as -1) it thinks that a urine test will pick up pregnancy from Friday.

Thanks.. May be in the same boat as everyone else.. just need to wait for af now so I can start again booooooo xx

@dreamin sorry about the bfn 😔

Ok so I'm a flake. I tested bfn.. only bought the ones for a quid because I didn't wanna waste money so early lol.. knew I should of waited now I'm disappointed xx

I'm due Saturday xx

AF was due yesterday.... which meant hardly any time between AF and ovulation.

When is everyone else due AF?

xx

Sorry to hear @akasia on to the next month 🙄 jist seems never ending doesn't it.. each month I try and convince myself I'm not really bothered and it'll be good for work.if I werent pg this time.. in a hope it'll trick the universe into making it happen.. I also try my hardest to tell myself thay sore boobs and cramps are af.. jist so I don't have to feel the disappointment .

@Dreaminofholidays I don't know if it's only us left in the game at this point? I hope i don't see you here again next month.. when you due af? Xx

@Akasia sorry AF arrived. Enjoying the heatwave with wine and cocktails sounds a good plan!

well 10dpo and a BFN so I assume I am out but what's annoying is there's a small hope yet which means the wait continues.
Will wait for AF to appear. x

@2mummie5 @lavenderlove @blitzen gutted af has arrived :(
arrived here yesterday as well, was really hopefull this cycle thought it felt different (obvs not!)
@thethreeanme I might steal your idea and get fake nails on for next cycle as I became a bit too obsessed about checking my cervix, to the point that I was checking it 3x a day 😶
@dreamingofholidays 🤞fx for you, hope the witch doesnt show and u get your bfp!
Now, I am going to enjoy the last few days of the heathwave with extra wine and cocktails. At least that :)

@blitzen sorry AF has arrived.

I had no idea how hard ttc would be.

☹

@lavender 😔

Just catching up on the thread. Genuinely sorry to hear of the bfns and arrival of AF for a few of us. X

@2mummie5 so sorry you didn't get your bfp.

AF here for me today. Roll on cycle 6 😥 tried SMEP to the letter this cycle too.

@dreaminofholidays that'll be me come Friday lol.. keep us posted for sure I'll keep my perfect nailed fingers crossed!! Cx

@thethreeandme you've made me chuckle! Fake nails sounds a great deterrent.

I've gone full on mental today. AF is due today, so I've been popping to the bathroom all day to check if it's arrived. Even though it's still too early I think I'm going to cave and test tomorrow unless she rears her head before then.

@2mummie5 good for you, trest yourself to a good coffee while you guys plan. xxx

Because I'm so impatient I've come up with a way to stop myself obsessing.. I chart cm and cp.. to stop me checking position I've put fake nails on.. so unless I want to stab my cervix ill just have to wait and see 👌🏼 my boobs hurt but I think it's because ice squeezed them.daily to see if they hurt.. someone needs to put me in a straight jacket till saturday

Thank you everyone for your kind words. My emotions are a little more in check now and we are both already feeling a little more positive about moving forward. We are going back to see our consultant early September to put together a new treatment plan. In the meantime we are doing the maths to see if we can pull together the funds.

So in the meantime I'm going to welcome the breathing space from it all and indulge in few things I've been missing... like Costa coffee that I've not had for months

I'm sorry to hear that AF has arrived for so many of us this month. She really knows how to spoil our plans doesn't she!

Xxx

@2mummie5 thinking of you too. you aren't moaning or bringing anyone down. These forums are about talking to others in the same boat as it's just a weird time.
I hope you manage to have a lovely evening with your family tonight. perhaps write a list of all you are grateful for and focus on your holiday too.

@TaelovexD please please don't blame yourself. We can do everything right but for whatever reason it just doesn't all align. It's just one of those things.

@teacuptale I am sorry the witch arrived. are you ok? xx

AF is here too.

2mummie5- I’m thinking of you.
