Let’s pull ourselves together & make it to the end of the week

Hi fellow ttc-ers.

I’m 9dpo on cycle 8 of ttc baby #2.

No real symptoms at all. A few cramps, I’m hungry and generally I’m just in an absolutely foul mood.

Anyone want to join me on route to test day at the end of the week?

Or it could be a lovely bfp @May2311 ! Have you been this late before? How many months of ttc? Af well and truly done. Weirdly had some ewcm and odd ov pain. I have forked out for ovusense and going to try it the next few cycles and see how we go

@Chefwifelife Exactly the same. No sign at all🙈 I will test Friday as I'll be a week late then. When it comes up BFN again I will be at a loss of what to do but nothing I can do to force AF to come!!

How are you doing? Has AF finished now? Have you got a plan for the next month? X

@May2311 you poor bugger, your body is being an absolute cow! I was four days late once and at still came for me. The hope that came with it was awful. I hope it’s a bfp and that’s why everything is delayed.

@sidewaysS thanks😊 How are you doing? Is it today your due AF? X

sidewaysS · 27/08/2019 12:20

@May2311 oh lovely, it must be so hard, It's difficult because your body will do all sorts of things when your under stress, including delay AF, take a day or 2 and test again!

I took vitamins for a few months and stopped taking them as they really messed up my cycle! Just take folic acid now!

Hang in there 💕

May2311 · 27/08/2019 11:34

@sofiathe2nd I am taking vitamins but been on them a while. I actually think I might just stop using them fullstop! 😂 I think you are right. I’ll wait till the weekend and test again if AF hasn’t arrived. It’s just so frustrating! I can accept my BFN I just want AF to come so I can get started with next cycle!!

Think I am in ranting mood today!! 🙈

Thanks. Xx

sofiathe2nd · 27/08/2019 11:08

@may2311 I don't know what to suggest! If you're regular normally then if it were me I'd probably test again in a few days but work on the assumption that you're not pg?

I don't know much about OPKs but it sounds like they're messing with your head a bit this cycle so maybe try to ignore those until you're definitely into your next cycle.

Have you started taking any vitamins this month or anything? Heard from a couple of friends that they can mess with your cycle?

Whatever you decide, sending hugs your way xx

So everyone what do you think I should do....

  • positive ovulation test Sunday 11th August.
-AF was due Friday 16th August(12 day luteral phase usually)Cramps like AF was coming back end of last week.
  • I also got a positive ovulation test on Wednesday 14 and Thursday 15th
-BFN with a FRER on Sunday 25th August -Today - 4 days late and still no AF. No cramps anymore either.

I really don’t want to test again to be disappointed but I hate not knowing what I should do!! I don’t think I am pregnant but don’t understand why AF hasn’t t turned up!!

Has anyone been in a similar position before?

sofiathe2nd · 27/08/2019 09:21

@sofiathe2nd congratulations!!!! Most certainly lucky thread🙌🙌

Still no AF 🙄 Blooming ridiculous I want to get cracking with next cycle! Xx

Lifesforlivingandloving · 26/08/2019 18:35

@sofiathe2nd
Haha. I've been off the pill since end of April but this was the first month I actually used apps to see most fertile days etc x

My last period was 26th July. So literally days between us! x

Yes it's a lucky thread and I hope so so much you all get your BFP very soon! 🙏 xxx

sofiathe2nd · 26/08/2019 18:22

@Lifesforlivingandloving this was our first month of trying so super shocked! Dh is in denial... thinks he’s been denied months of trying!

Last af was 29th July so due date the first week of may I think?! When was yours?

@chefwifelife definitely sticking to this thread until we’ve all got our BFPs Smile

@sofiathe2nd
Awwww yay! So happy for you !!!!
I'm the same x done two tests and still don't believe it!
How long have you been trying ?
When was your last period ?

Xxx

sofiathe2nd · 26/08/2019 16:25

So, just tested and got a strong second line on a FRER... but think I need to do another test (or three) to believe it. Also can’t post photos as I’ve been here less than a month so can’t get your opinions!!

sofiathe2nd · 26/08/2019 10:48

Think I’ll test tomorrow if AF doesn’t show... not feeling positive though

May2311 · 26/08/2019 10:27

@Chefwifelife morning😊 Nope I have accepted the BFN but still waiting for AF🙈 why our bodies decide to muck up as we start TTC! Just trying to stay chilled and AF will come when it wants to! I literally have no cramps or anything so don’t expect it anytime soon. So strange as back end of last week I was sure it was on the way!

How are you doing?

@sofiathe2nd when are you testing?

@sidewaysS how are you getting on? Has AF turned or have you tested?

Happy bank holiday ladies 😊 Let’s enjoy this sun! Xx

Morning ladies. Has anyone tested this morning? 🤞🏻

sofiathe2nd · 25/08/2019 10:12

Still no AF here either but been cramping all week so know she’s coming :( can’t bring myself to test, this 2 weeks has felt like forever! xx

May2311 · 25/08/2019 06:57

Morning everyone

AF still hasn’t arrived. Tested this morning and it was BFN. Haven’t a clue why I’m late as that’s unusual for me.

I actually feel ok about it as I think I already knew I wasn’t pregnant. I just want AF to arrive now so we can crack on for next month.

How’s everyone else doing? Xxx
