AF/BFP due 17th July

@SMiles14 welcome!

So I sarted spotting today which always happens 2 days before AF (due Thurs) so I'm out and feeling really gutted . Really thought it was finally our month. Bought some FRER last night as well to use on Thurs so feel that I jinxed it.

DP is away for a big trip now until mid-Oct so at least I can step back obsessing with Opk etc for a few cycles I guess which might be a good thing.

Fx for you all to get a BFP!

@NavyBerry @Nova324 what a coincidence! It feels good to have others in the same boat!
Yes I'm due on af on Saturday too, i'm going to my friends birthday bbq that day so will either be drowning my sorrows or super giddy and trying to hide it!
I was so mad at him when I woke up, it is honestly something he would do haha it felt so real! 😳

These cramps are doing my head in. Every time I'm tempted to test I remind myself it's £3 down the drain and that usually stops me!

ahhhh @NavyBerry excited for you to test.. I wanna test so bad but just know theres no point rn all ive got is vvvv.cheapy ones! so just gonna live through you for that and try hard to wait til the weekend!

@SMiles14 your dream seems pretty good, definitely something that could happen, did you wake up annoyed at him? those dreams are so real sometimes! are you due AF on sat then?

cant believe so many of us are so similar rn Im 28 about to be 29 in less than a month and 10DPO too! Fx we can get some BFPs on this thread!

Hey @SMiles14! Loving your wierd dream ha!

@NavyBerry eeek I'm excited for tomorrow for you!! I have no real clue when I ovulated but going to defo test friday and I think I will be roughly around 11 DPO. I've been a crank today, typical for week before AF so we shall see x

@Mezza610 last time I discovered I was pregnant in the middle of my next cycle, closer to the ovulation date. Before the af the pregnancy test had been negative. It was truly weird.

@Nova324 I definitely will! But my test is only 20mme. Worried it is not sensitive enough

Welcome @SMiles14! I'm also 29 btw. Trying for our second

Hi Ladies, can I join?
Im on 10dpo and going mad! I'm 29 (just) and ttc for our first. Been trying since January and had one mmc.
I have had cramps the last 2 days but they are quite constant and one sided. Temps still above coverline but I have been sleeping so badly so I'm not really relying on them too much.
I ordered some Frer off Amazon yesterday but going to try and hold off til Af is actually late this time.
The only weird dream I had was where my DH bought a stupid car that was in no way suitable for a baby and I got soooo mad!! Cant remember if I actually had a baby or was just forward planning in the dream :D

Hey all!
not too bad @NavyBerry I havent really had any symptoms apart from a sore back yesterday andI I was SOOO hungry all day. getting a few spots today so could be AF on her way I guess. I dont think Im due AF til sat so not gonna test until at least then! do you think youll test tomorrow?

haha @Greenwhale have you managed to hold off testing? ive had a few baby dreams too and last week had a dream about a BFP also even in it I was like no way!!! lol

How is everyone filling? I have been having cramps that are very much similar to pre-AF. But my temperature is a bit higher than usual. I'm waiting for tomorrow but I'm pretty sure it is too early to show anything: 8 dpo/1 day before AF.

My previous experience was that I got implantation during a quite heavy period so I guess I don't believe in anything

@Nova324 I am sooooooo desperate to test !! Wasted a good hour of my life yesterday debating whether to buy a FRER off Amazon as it wouldn't arrive until Weds so the earliest I would be able to use is Thurs so it would stop me testing early, but then decided against it incase I spot/AF arrives in the interim and then the delivery would make me sad haha. Can't keep any in the house routinely as I have no self control....

@SunnySunshine1990 I love how excited your boyfriend is! Mine knows I will find out at some point this week but that's about it! I've heard the metallic taste as a sign but I am always dubious about signs as AF/BFP always sound so similar. My CM is also creamy but I've never monitored it on any other cycle so have no clue what normal is!

@NavyBerry the number of baby dreams I have is crazy! Usually of other people having babies/BFP though and not me so that must have been nice! Fx it's a premonition

In my dream last night I tested and got a very strong BFP. Do you believe in signs? I don't but it was still a nice dream. Let's keep ourselves busy this week to keep mind off testing

Morning ladies! I've had a metallic taste in my mouth all morning, need to stop googling as it's getting my hopes up!

Trying to be cool, my boyfriend is getting really excited asking when we can test!

Has anyone been checking CM? Mine has been creamy consistency each day xx

everyone is doing so well to not test yet! even if it is early I know sometimes the urge is too much lol.

I have had ZERO symtoms for anything.. AF or BFP. so dont know whats going on this month. @Greenwhale I'm the same as you tho I usually get a day or two of spotting then it stops for a few days then AF shows up.

Im just hoping if no BFP this month AF turns up on time-ish as this will have been my longest cycle at nearly 40 days and wanna start a new cycle asap lol

Testing on Wednesday, 1 day before AF is due. Have got too many cheapies and one digital Clear Blue for emergency proof testing

I think I will wait until Friday.. I usually use the cheap strips (I have about 30 ha!) but got a couple of first response tests and a clear blue digital test too #obsessed! I will save the digital until I am super sure though x

I have zero signs suggesting it's our month though - was expecting sore boobs or something! But generally feeling normal, albeit tired but that can be down to anything really.

Your will power is enviable to wait until Saturday @Mezza610!

I have a pretty short LP (normally 9-12 days) and spot for a few days before AF so if I have no spotting and no AF by Thursday then I'll probably cave....

Eeek the suspense!!! What day is everyone going to test?? X

Desperate to test! My hopes are really up this month although it won't be anything criminal if I'm not pregnant. I have only been back to work from maternity for 6 months and tbh I'm quite enjoying it no signs from my body, feel absolutely normal.
After first pregnancy my breasts stopped reacting to anything.

We're halfway through the wait everyone! Hope you're all doing okay?

@Mezza610 I love the idea of you eating lots of Brazil nuts and pineapple!! Bet your OH gave the shopping some strange looks!

@NavyBerry welcome! I am doing my temps but haven't been religiously since ovulation due to other things getting in the way and trying to forget about the TWW...not all that successful mind . They have all seemed to be similar this week not really showing any rises or drops. It's not worrying me too much though. I get the impression that in theory it starts to rise again at the end of your TWW if you are pregnant but otherwise starts to drop however I've been tracking for 5/6 months now and I never see it drop until after my AF shows so I guess everyone is different so I'm not going to get my hopes up if it doesn't drop.

@SunnySunshine1990 hopefully all of these aches and cramps are a good sign! It sounds like you had super dark OPKs last weekend so hopefully that was spot on with you ovulating and it's not now! I guess if you were really worried you could do a cheapy OPK.

FX and baby dust to all!

Hey @NavyBerry, no temp checks for me as I can't get the hang of them!

God knows what's going on with my body, I've had cramps on both sides since yesterday, today a really dull ache on the left (should have ovulated from right ovary this month). Now I'm thinking maybe my body just geared up to ovulate but actually didn't and it is trying to now?! Temp checks would have helped too!
So frustrating! Suppose I will find out when I test/AF comes x

Hello there! I was wondering has anyone been checking their base temperature? How is it doing after the ovulation? I was looking through charts on the internet but got even more confused.
