AF/BFP due 17th July

Hi everyone,

Hoping I can join this thread.

I'm 30 TTC second child. I had a Minerva coil removed in April and have had 33-34 day cycles since.

AF was due on Tuesday but no signs of it arriving, although have had mild cramps and backache for a week. I've had two BFN but hoping that I either get a BFP within the next week or AF arrives as I'm currently on day 38! And worried my cycle is completely off. I do have mild PCOS but was hoping it wouldn't affect me as my periods have been so regular! Any advice would be so welcome!

@Greenwhale @littledinosaurs omg it was SOOO hard keeping it to myself for almost a day!! His card arrived and I 'tricked' him into opening it.. and he didn't get it straight away lol! Then caught on but he cant believe it.. me either! I've taken about 5/6 tests and a FRER today. && now ive told my mum, dad and sister couldn't help myself lol!

I guess I just need to phone the doctors on monday to see what goes on next! And do I buy a clear blue for the date test or naa? Haha

Hey @littledinosaurs your levels must be super strong to show 3+!!

I'm okay, did another test this morning and was bfn, hopefully AF will just come tomorow or Monday so we can move on to next cycle!

Considering speaking to the doctor as my cycles are stupidly irregular, I've looked into Clomid but I presume they don't just prescribe it willy nilly and tests may need to be done.
I had blood work taken a year ago which came back "normal" the doctor said it was probably due to coming off my pill but it's been two years now so surely should have settled down by now?!x

@Nova324 I don't know how you didn't blurt it put immediately haha I salute you!!

How're you doing @SunnySunshine1990?

@NavyBerry so sorry you're going through this. I really hope you get some good news this evening. I'll be thinking of you.

@Greenwhale has your DP come home yet? Must've been hard without him there. Hope you've been able to have a hug by now. :) I took a cb this morning and it said 3+ weeks(!) which would not be possible either haha.

@NavyBerry I'm so sorry you're having to go through this. It sounds so incredibly tough. But you are strong, and can make it through this for sure. I'm so glad you have been able to get bloods today at least to get some answers hopefully. I can definetely see a line on that test. Fingers crossed for some good news. Sending you virtual hugs and support.

@Mezza610 are you holding off testing until Sunday?

@Nova324 did your OH open his card yet?

That must have been awful 😢 such a rollercoaster of emotions. No need to apologise at all, this is what the threads are for, the highs and the lows x

@SunnySunshine1990 my last one was a total surprise for me as the period started on time. I kept bleeding for over two weeks and then finally took a test, it was positive. A week after I was diagnosed a blighted ovum My hcg was over 4000 when I had to have a surgery. Sorry for dragging this positive thread down. I'm waiting for my hcg and progesterone levels. Should be ready by the evening. We are due to travel next week so this is not a great timing for having a miscarriage

Awk sorry to this @NavyBerry must be so hard and confusing!! Hope you get the answers you want very soon!!

I'm sorry @NavyBerry this must be so confusing for you :( didn't you say you had implantation during your period last time? Could this be similar?x

Morning all, I did a test this morning although my period is in full flow and I saw a line. It is still not very bright but definitely clearer than yesterday's. It is either chemical or real but not very strong. I'm going to do my blood test. Gutted that this is happening again.

@Mezza610 thanks! If I was you I would hold off until sunday to take the other test if you think AF always comes on the right day!

I've taken 3 diff tests today cause I just cant believe it! Haven't even told OH yet lol I ordered him a wee card to come in the post tomorrow so he can find out that way so its killing me not telling anyone!!

Good Luck for the interview @littledinosaurs what a great day!
yeah although we love it google is not always a very good friend! I've seen some people say the date on those aren't that great..where they've been further ahead but marks them lower so maybe its the same.. or maybe higher HCG is twins!

Congrats on the job interview @littledinosaurs ! What a fabulous day you are having!

Now 12do and just did this with afternoon wee (probably 5hrs hold) and it's telling me I had a miraculous conception before even DTD started! I did Google about high HCG and it's associated with some not so good outcomes so I think I need to put down Google and live in the moment I think.

Thanks so much all. I have just heard that I've got a job interview today as well... so yeah. Big day for me! No idea what I'm going to do. Will have to take the weekend to get my thoughts in order. So so glad we haven't planned to do anything.

So sorry to those who are out this month. Crossing everything that next month is your lucky one. Xx

Congrats @Nova324!! Amazing!! This has got to be a lucky thread

It doesn't say you HAVE to take it with FMU but it's probably best if you can. Most likely to have the strongest line.

thanks girlies! I still just dont trust that test tho so trying not to get my hopes up. going to run out on my lunch and check for a FRER or digital that I can take later / tomorrow AM. do you need to take them with FMU?

but I'm hoping that first test is right!

@SMiles14 and @NavyBerry sorry to hear AF has arrived. At least this means you're one step closer to your next ovulation so one step closer to your future BFP.

@SunnySunshine1990 some people don't get a BFP until way past 14dpo so don't count yourself out yet!

@littledinosaurs @nova324 huge congratulations!!! Both very strong positives! So lovely to hear your DPs excitement it made me chuckle! Good luck holding it together today! I work in healthcare and thankfully have a full book of patients today so it has kept me distracted and busy but yesterday was a different matter!

Ahh @Nova324 that is an absolute positive!!! Amazing huge congratulations to you 🤗 xx

@Nova324 ahh that's a beautiful positive test!!! Congratulations! what about getting a digital one? You won't have any doubts when you see it written in stone very happy for you! For how long have you been trying?

Oh no @SMiles14 shingles sounds awful! Hope you are feeling better soon!

Yeah @SunnySunshine1990 your not out fully until AF shows up!

Congrats @littledinosaurs that's such a strong line! I know what you mean about not believing it tho it's crazy!

Awk no @NavyBerry that's horrible. Sorry about your MC and it's totally normal to worry about that kinda thing doesnt make you stupid!

So guys I did a test this morning and I THINK its positive.. just dont really know whether to believe it tho cause it was a cheapy from poundland. Plan today is try not to drink too much and test again after work! Depending on that I'll buy a FRER eeek!!

Huge congratulations @littledinosaurs 🤗

@NavyBerry that's so wierd what do you think? What tests where they?x

My af has come full force today so back to cd1. My body obviously isn't in a good way so I'm not surprised!
Good luck to those with BFPS and I'll see the rest of you on the September bus! (Although hopefully not too many of you!)
Xxx

Oh no. So sorry Navy. Have a chilled weekend, be good to yourself xxx
