Hi everyone 🙂

I thought I would start a thread for everyone that is due AF this week, if anyone would like to join?

I am 29 and have been TTC #1 for 10 months with no hint of a BFP. I have been tracking my BBT for the last 6 months and always have a 13 day luteal phase, with AF appearing on the 14th day after OV. Yesterday was day 14 and nothing sign of AF yet. Temperature hasn't dipped yet either. Too scared to test as i'm fed up of seeing BFN 😣

Scared that just by making this thread I am jynxing it and AF will arrive, so please keep me company 🙂 would love to hear from and support others! Baby dust to everyone, this journey is so hard 💐

I don't know how to date this cycle. If AF had arrived when it was due I would have been due to ovulate around Friday. I started bleeding 6 days late, had a short period with 2 days of bleeding and a day of spotting. When I log this as my period it shows my ovulation as due around 15th November, however I've just done an OPK and it looks like this - do you think that looks more like I'm due to ovulate at the end of this week
like I would have done if AF was on time?

I have everything crossed for you @Bananaloaf88

Sorry to hear that @CrazyFooLady ☹️

Bananaloaf88 · 05/11/2019 08:17

@CrazyFooLady Sorry to hear that! Fingers crossed for next cycle xx

CrazyFooLady · 05/11/2019 07:36

So I was 2 weeks late, got my hopes up a little bit too much........... and Bam! The old bitch came rattling faster than a Brexit deal 🤦‍♂️

Bananaloaf88 · 05/11/2019 06:11

@Lizziedu49 so I got my blood results back they came back pregnant but they are very low (in my opinion) so obviously i'm freaking out after having an ealy miscarriage in August.

My mum who is a nurse says not to worry that it was in "range" for 4 weeks. But I can't help myself. Trying to stay positive as I have had no bleeding & my symptoms feel stronger than last time round (especially aches & pains!). I have another blood test booked for next week. I just don't want to have to go to another midwife appointment & then have to phone & explain a loss again Sad

How are things with you any sign of AF or a BFP?

Bananaloaf88 · 02/11/2019 16:38

@Lizziedu49 Thank you so much! Keep me updated on you too xx

Lizziedu49 · 02/11/2019 16:32

Please let us know how it goes @Bananaloaf88 I will keep my fingers crossed for you ❤️

Bananaloaf88 · 02/11/2019 16:19

@Lizziedu49 It is so annoying! Keep testing, but I would book into the Drs if it doesn't come soon.

It is booked in for Monday so hopefully know by Tuesday. We have decided to tell parents & my sister once the result is back. After my miscarriage this year i'm trying not to get excited.

Lizziedu49 · 02/11/2019 16:16

When is your blood test booked for @Bananaloaf88 ?

Lizziedu49 · 02/11/2019 16:15

I'm in the same boat @CrazyFooLady ! CD42 and my cycles are normally 36 days. Last tested yesterday evening and another BFN...

Bananaloaf88 · 02/11/2019 16:01

@CrazyFooLady Maybe get a nurses app for a blood test. I didn't get my bfp until more than 2 weeks after I thought my period should have been due. I was on CD48! So 18 days!

CrazyFooLady · 02/11/2019 15:51

Hey everyone!
I'm now 12 days late and I'm still getting BFN's.
No sign of anything starting at all 🤷‍♀️
Not too sure what to think x

Lizziedu49 · 02/11/2019 15:21

How is everyone? Xx

Bananaloaf88 · 01/11/2019 18:56

@Crazymummyto3 Thank you! I have a blood test on Monday to confirm with my periods being all over the shop this past month of two. My last one was in Sep!

I'm so sorry to hear that. Sending lots of hugs. I went through a MC this year and no matter how early it is still very painful. 😥

Lizziedu49 · 01/11/2019 18:51

So sorry @Crazymummyto3 😞😞

Crazymummyto3 · 01/11/2019 11:04

I've just done another test and it's come up with a faint positive so it looks like I've had a chemical pregnancy 😢

Crazymummyto3 · 01/11/2019 08:54

Huge congratulations @Bananaloaf88 , what lovely news to wake up to 😁😁

Lizziedu49 · 01/11/2019 08:24

Omg @Banoffeepie91 A BIG FAT POSITIVE!!!! I am CD41 so you are giving me hope!!!!

Bananaloaf88 · 01/11/2019 07:03

Took a FRER today. I can't believe it. I have no idea when I might have ovulated. I'm so late on CD48!!!! Going to book a Dr blood test.

@crazymummyto3 that's exactly how I feel, I dont feel pregnant or af coming although today my cramp felt exactley like af but all I got was lots of cm! It's jus disappointing when you have a little hope then bfns or af. I dont have any kids but I'm worried now being in my early 30s with endo that it might not happen. I'm hoping I ovulated too as been under stress with work and pressure to have a baby from everyone rather than not ov at all. I dtd usually every day when oh is home so it's not like we don't try haha. If it does come I should have appointment soon with infertility clinic and possibly another laparoscopy so hoping that will help and not bad news. Even keep dtd every couple of days towards end of your cycle in case you do ov a bit later, fingers crossed next month is yours

Bananaloaf88 · 31/10/2019 11:15

@Crazymummyto3 It was a CB digital one. I don't think you are meant to take them apart. I have heard they have two lines anyway but they are both very clear. I'm all out of tests I'll buy more today!

Crazymummyto3 · 31/10/2019 10:54

@Bananaloaf88 That looks positive to me, do you have another one you could take? Could it be that you couldn't see the second line from the window? Good luck!

@Staceyx87 I really didn't feel like AF was going to come but I also didn't feel pregnant either if that makes sense? I've been really stressed with work for the past couple of months so I wonder if that has had an effect on my period? I'm not used to this as for our three other children I fell pregnant during the first month. I'm worrying that age might be playing a factor now? I'm almost 11 years on from the first time. We will put a bit more effort in to next month as I know we didn't dtd as much as we should have over the fertile period last month. I also think I might have ovulated later than I originally thought as I got hardly any line on my OPKs during what I thought was the middle of the month and an almost positive a week later when we did dtd due to work, so guessing my surge was then ☹️

Staceyx87 · 31/10/2019 09:45

@Crazymummyto3 sorry just seen your other post, hopefully next month you get your bfp. It's tough, you get excited when it's not the norm to be late and then bang Af and disappointment.

@bananaloaf88 yeah I think the test must have been invalid, got so excited when that line appeared but way too dark. I think its the control line but is in the wrong position. I'll buy a frer for tomorrow and if Bfn then I must have just missed a period or not ovulated at all ... tbh my day 21 said I didn't ovulate and I'm holding hope that I ov later but only time had sex was cd25 and cd26, with always having a 26/29 days cycle I think its impossible I ovulated that late so maybe af hasn't came becaise I never ovulated at all boo!! I'm on cd36 today.
If you have a clear second lime after taking test apart I'd say that was bfp, jus not showed through window ... as you can see from my photo there was no second line when I took it apart ... Did it have colour? Fingers and toes crossed for you

Bananaloaf88 · 31/10/2019 07:12

@Crazymummyto3 Sorry to hear, at least you can start planning next cycle! ♥️

@staceyx87 I would take another test. I think when the control line doesn't come up it can't be 100% trusted.

I took a CB digital today as I am beginning to thing I must have ovulated a lot later than I thought. It said "not pregnant". But I took it apart, I know you're not meant to, and there is a clear second blue line. Any ideas?
