BFP or AF due 19th January

Congratulations @GinaJabowski!

So I had BFNs for the past 3 days, AF due today and my normal pre-menstrual spotting yesterday. I declared myself out on this thread. But did I read the writing on the wall? Nooooooo! I convinced myself that I still felt pregnant, the ICs were unreliable and the spotting could be implantation bleeding. Wasted a FRER - it was BFN, of course.

AF still hasn't started, so I'm not even onto CD1 of the next cycle yet. But I am now drinking wine, at least

@Syncope I will also probably cave and do it tomorrow morning! Let me know how you get on if you do!

Good luck! To those waiting hope you get bfps soon

@glowingtwigs I used the cb opks last months and didn't get a static and it was disheartening but it is what it is. Just trying to stay hopeful for next month. I would start using the from day 8 or 9 dependant how many u have: they are expensive but they are very reliable so worth the investment. I've learnt (the hard way) my body is very unpredictable.
@Syncope thanks hun I knew no static last month wasn't a great sign. That's good af hasn't come yet. Fingers crossed this is your month. Any symptoms?

@Kins00 in theory I should wait until Monday as that would be the first day that AF is definitely 'late' but I might crack and do one tomorrow morning if no sign of AF! What about you? Fingers crossed for you!

I was sure AF was on her way on Wednesday, had AF-is-on-the-way cramps most of the day, but no sign. Only other symptom I have is sore nipples, which is not unusual for me but I normally get that earlier in the TWW.

@Syncope I am exactly the same! Due between CD 25 to CD 31.... I am not on CD 29 and still no sign but done a few IC and all stark white! I have had waves of feeling mildly sick and a few crampy moments but I expect it is all in my head and just the early sign that AF is in her way. When will you test?

Sorry to hear that @payperview.

Sorry AF turned up @Baba11 - hope next month is better for you!

Still no sign of AF here. Refusing to get my hopes up until at least tomorrow, because based on my normal cycle length AF was due Wednesday just gone, but if this cycle is the same length as the last one (4 days longer than my normal) then AF isn't actually due until tomorrow. Time will tell!

@Baba11 my cycles are regular at 26-28 days, before m/c they were usually slightly longer. I generally ovulate between cd 11-14 (based on ovulation pain and positive opk cheapies)... last month didn't get a positive or much pain so not sure I ovd last month. Just want to try something a bit more scientific and get to know more fertile days. Scared to not get a static tho...

I'm out

Congrats to all that got BFPs.
@ glowingtwigs I use Clearblue opks they are good to pinpoint your ovulation day exp if you are irregular.how long are your cycles norm?

Defo think we shud start a new thread for us that weren't so lucky to get a bfp. As it takes me ages to scroll down to the bottom of this 1.

I think I'm over been angry and just thinking it all happens for a reason, got to stay positive if we want that positive?!!!

@GinaJabowski congratulations on your BFP.

So I have woke up this morning finally feeling a bit more human, the grey cloud is lifting and can see the other side. I feel like you have to grieve each month even though there wasn't a baby there to begin with! I felt like I was grieving for a life I had planned in my head and it was never going to happen. This month I was definitely in the angry stage of grief but it's time to move on and look forward to the next month!!
I definitely feel like thread should be kept going or a new one done, it's kept me sane seeing everyone's progress, good or bad!!
Have a great weekend, I'm off to live my life again!! Xx

Ah yay @GinaJabowski congratulations on your BFP!
@Soexciting this is a great thread, I love that we are all nearish in our cycles! Let's keep it going for the next cycle! Does anyone use Clear Blue ovulation tests on here? I'm going to try them this cycle x

@GinaJabowski yay! Congratulations! You will be going to work with a big smile today! X

Morning all! Up early for work... no sign of AF so thought I'd try again and this is what I got! Will test again later or tomorrow just to be super duper sure! Can't quite believe it

Thanks Lillian, it’s still just spotting x 2 days now, which is unusual for me. I have low back pain and cervix is high and soft, but just feel as if my body is playing tricks on me!

Sorry to hear about the spotting @lavenderbluedilly - has it turned into proper AF or still spotting? I had some spotting in early pregnancy with DD1 so you may not be out yet if it’s just spotting!

I am 40 this year also so that round number rightly or wrongly looming in my mind.

I was going to join the Feb bus but I do like this thread as the names are familiar!

Congratulations @foreverthe2ww2!

Another BFN this morning and it looks like AF is on its way, so I think I'm out Like you, @Soexciting, I was convinced I was pregnant. It's been lovely having a thread where everyone is at the same point in their cycle though - I like it much better than the buses - thanks for creating it!

I had a very faint BFP on 9DPO but all BFN since . I think I may have jinxed myself as I’d even posted another thread about cancelling our summer holiday plans due to pregnancy! I’m 13DPO today and started spotting yesterday. Unusually I’m still spotting but can’t face POAS again. Starting to panic now as I’ll be 40 this year too. I am glad to see some BFP’s on this thread though, congrats to you all

Hi all! Huuuuge congrats to all the BFP! Af due today and I've been crampy and sore boobs for a few days but no AF itself. Day 33 of cycle, 15dpo but still getting BFN

@Lillianfullstop thank you! ... I am 13 dpo .. yesterday morning was a bfn then today super faint line, I have no symptoms what so ever, .. i didnt feel pregnant but also didnt feel as though AF was coming either just really felt nothing.

I am sorry that it looks as though AF is on its way but yes like you say, wine weekend and on to the next cycle. x
