@MrsR16 a test can't make you more or less pregnant than you are! How many dpo are you again? Test test test!

MrsR16 · 17/04/2019 19:32

@ValidUser I'm torn between wanting to test because there's a chance it could be a BFP but really not wanting to! I don't know what to do 😕

@MrsEG @Tropicana1 You ladies are amazing 😊 this is why I love this thread! Just super supportive and helpful with everything!

I'm going on holiday on Monday and we're camping for the first couple of nights, which isn't much fun if AF is in full flow, so I also want to test to see if it might hit... my brain is going nuts!

Tropicana1 · 17/04/2019 19:19

Posted too soon!
@ValidUser as long as AF isn't here you're not out!
Fingers crossed for you both!

Tropicana1 · 17/04/2019 19:18

@MrsR16 I get that - maybe wait a day or so and if AF still hasn't appeared test then?

MrsEG · 17/04/2019 19:06

@MrsR16 I so totally know that feeling, nothing like a BFN to break your heart. I’ll keep FX for you that AF stays away :)

ValidUser · 17/04/2019 19:04

@MrsR16 boobs don't hurt. They normally do. No spotting (but that may be because my blood filled tube is now gone! I'm not as cranky as usual but I am craving my usual PMS carbs.

Are you planning to test?

MrsR16 · 17/04/2019 18:58

@ValidUser you're not out till she arrives!! Any symptoms of AF turning up or not? Xx

ValidUser · 17/04/2019 18:56

Total BFN at 12 dpo here!

AF should be here already though.

TTC first baby - thread 15
MrsR16 · 17/04/2019 18:54

@MrsEG @Tropicana1 I haven't tested yet ladies! I'm so scared to! I think seeing another BFN will break my heart...

@AysLon I have a Fitbit! It works pretty well 😊 I got really ill after Christmas and my heart rate was sat the highest I've ever seen it! I've heard good things about Ava and it tracks your temp as well, which my Fitbit doesn't

AysLon · 17/04/2019 15:13

@MrsR16 I am following your progress on this thread with intrigue!!! Keep us updated and good luck! Also what do you use to track your heart rate? I've been reading up on ava bracelets but not sure how accurate they predict O

Tropicana1 · 17/04/2019 15:12

@MrsR16 ooh I want you to test!

Cd17 over here and the most stark negative on my opk 😭 swear they're getting lighter! My cycles do vary sometimes from 28 to 31 days so maybe this is just a longer cycle month.

MrsEG · 17/04/2019 14:24

@MrsR16 I’m trying so hard not to get your hopes up as I know how annoying that is before you test... but the elevated HR is such a good sign!!!! Do that test!!

Lovemypug · 17/04/2019 14:19

Hi ladies, hopefully it's ok for me to join! I'm 27, TTC our first baby and now on Cycle 3 of trying. Currently on CD18, AF due on the 26th April. Tried Preseed for the first time this month but I feel like our timing wasn't the best as we had guests staying right before I ovulated Blush

daisiesandpeonies · 17/04/2019 14:15

Hey @starkid I'm cycle 11 (but one year - long cycles) and am 31 years old.
The testing starts tomorrow.... scan and bloods 🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼

MrsR16 · 17/04/2019 13:51

This is also my resting heart rate... no idea why it's shot up this month! I always stay around 60ish

TTC first baby - thread 15
MrsR16 · 17/04/2019 13:49

@MrsEG @Tropicana1 haha! I'm sorely tempted to test when I get home... Glow reckons I'm due AF tomorrow though. What do you think??

I'm also weeing way more often, even waking up in the middle of the night to go for a wee (and nothing ever disturbs my sleep!) 😂

Tropicana1 · 17/04/2019 13:20

@MrsR16 how exciting! Keep us posted!

@granddesigns you could try an FRER tomorrow morning if still no AF

MrsEG · 17/04/2019 12:25

Hi ladies, just in case anyone was thinking about buying an Ava bracelet, I’ve been given a code that gives you £20 off - feel free to use it: avawomen.ref-r.com/c/i/12607/30450633?r=wa

It just arrived this morning and is sat charging - will keep you all posted!

Chembecky · 17/04/2019 09:58

@MrsEG thanks :)

MrsEG · 17/04/2019 09:12

@MrsR16 I was burping like a champ when I got my BFP - test test test!!!

Bec18x · 17/04/2019 09:05

@starkid I’m already under a consultant which I have appointment for next week to hopefully start clomid. I have PCOS and endometriosis and don’t ovulate and cycles go from 25 days up to 265 days so got referred. Hubbys had semen analaysis and I’ve had all bloods done just got my day 21 bloods at the end of this week and then I’ll find out all the results next week and go from there

MrsR16 · 17/04/2019 08:58

@MrsAW2018 hey darling! I have had more bloating recently and have been proper gassy... I have no doubt it means bugger all but we will see!

@MrsEG I have a FRER in the house! Just resisting the temptation until I was late!

@granddesigns I have everything crossed for you, lovely!

granddesigns · 17/04/2019 08:44

Af due today and as yet no sign either -didn't manage to resist poas totally but only used internet cheapys - nothing at all this morning. So, is it just a case of waiting for af or is there still any chance? Don't want to waste frers or get hopes up too much but af usually here by the day glow predicts so I was ready for her unwelcome appearance yesterday. Also sorry if tmi but darkening of cm which normally indicates af imminent arrival has not been there this cycle - just a touch on sat, nothing since.... good luck to all those waiting to poas, willing the tww to go by or to wave goodbye to af to start bding again.

MrsEG · 17/04/2019 08:42

@MrsR16 FX! Will you test tomorrow if she doesn’t arrive? If AF is already late, you don’t actually need FMU... so if you really wanted to know get yourself a FRER today! Good luck!

MrsAW2018 · 17/04/2019 08:41

@MrsR16 hi cycle buddy! Got my fingers crossed you get your BFP this month... I ovulated late so not due AF for another 6/7 days 😩 on holiday at the moment though so haven't got any tests to do early or anything. Have you had any symptoms?

@starkid thanks for the updated stats!
