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 💐

@Lizziedu49 Still no AF for me yet too

Bananaloaf88 · 29/10/2019 06:59

@Lizziedu49 Me neither 🙁

I had cramping (mainly on my right side) yesterday & last night. Breats are feeling swollen & sore to the touch although it has lessened from last week.

I'm either on cycle day 45 or 33 (taking into consideration my mid-cycle bleed).

I don't know what to do or think. It is really pissing me off now. My mum's friend is a mid-wife so I was going to give her a message on Friday if there was still no AF to see if she had any ideas.

Lizziedu49 · 29/10/2019 06:38

@Crazymummyto3 @itssquidstella still no AF? Me neither....

Banoffeepie91 · 29/10/2019 05:50

AF has arrived with a vengeance this morning a whole 6 days late. I stopped taking the pregnacare and funnily enough a few days later AF is here. Pretty convinced that’s what has caused me to be so late but could be wrong. Onto the next cycle! Good luck everyone else still waiting.

itssquidstella · 28/10/2019 11:06

@Crazymummyto3 same here. I'm 16dpo now with no sign of either AF or a bfp. Maybe I just didn't ovulate this month 🤷‍♀️

KCT93 · 28/10/2019 09:01

@Crazymummyto3 thank you!!

Crazymummyto3 · 28/10/2019 08:14

Congratulations @KCT93 , lovely to have some positive news on this thread ☺️ Wishing you a healthy 9 months

KCT93 · 28/10/2019 07:40

Baby dust to all of you 💐

KCT93 · 28/10/2019 07:38

Thank you guys! Hopefully it's a sticky bean and the line continues to get darker!

Em012 · 28/10/2019 07:11

Morning ladies hope it's okay to join this thread 3rd cycle of trying to convince and AF is due this morning been a miserable cow the last few days so have no doubt she will rear her ugly head. Hope your all wellSmile

Banoffeepie91 · 28/10/2019 07:05

@KCT93 CONGRATULATIONS! Lovely to get some good news on here. Excited for you.

Bananaloaf88 · 28/10/2019 06:57

@KCT93 That's definitely a positive. I've seen enough stark negatives this month to know 😂 Congratulations!

Still no AF for me. Took a HPT this morning "just to check" still a stark blank. Still have tender boobs & increased cramping. The witch is coming she is just taking her time 🙄

KCT93 · 28/10/2019 06:51

So I'm 10 DPO and just got this? Me and DH still don't want to get too excited as it is still early and line is faint, what do you think?

anyone waiting for AF this week (w.b. 21/10)
Banoffeepie91 · 28/10/2019 06:29

I’m now 5 days late and no BFP or AF. Getting a bit fed up now. @Crazymummyto3 sounds like we’re in the same boat at the moment!

Macbless · 28/10/2019 06:12

My AF has arrived overnight. Was due Saturday so had a little bit of hope that this might it despite the falling temps. At least I’m seeing the GP tomorrow to get things rolling with bloods etc. Thinking about trying a cycle with no OPK and no temping. I don’t feel like it’s making me stressed but I guess it’s worth a try.

My friend only got her BFP 5-6 days after AF was due so hold out @Crazymummyto3 got everything crossed for you!

@Broom19 sounds like you’ve found the way that works for you. Congratulations on BFP.

Crazymummyto3 · 28/10/2019 05:00

4 days late but still getting BFN 😩

Broom19 · 27/10/2019 10:39

@Banoffeepie91 also meant to tag you in my last post

Broom19 · 27/10/2019 10:38

@MrsN2121 I continued to take vit d (I take this all the time, regardless of trying to conceive) and started with folic acid as soon as I saw that bfp! I'd actually only stopped pregnacare a couple of weeks before, which contains folic acid, so hoping I've had it covered.

@Macbless I honestly think pregnacare do not agree with me. Maybe they're good for some people. With my DD1, I conceived completely by accident so no vitamins beforehand, then second pregnancy ended in missed miscarriage (was taking pregnacare- don't know if this is linked) and third time conceiving took months and months... until I stopped taking it. I'm definitely avoiding from now on!

Crazymummyto3 · 27/10/2019 08:18

@Lizziedu49 Very frustrating as been happening for a few days but not getting any darker, so not reading too much into it. I just wish that AF would show up if that's what's going to happen!

Lizziedu49 · 27/10/2019 08:06

@Crazymummyto3 that's really positive that you're getting something on the ICs but annoying that there's nothing on the FRERs.... I think that's even more frustrating than my stark whites on both!

Crazymummyto3 · 27/10/2019 07:44

@Lizziedu49 It's so frustrating isn't it 😩 When I've looked at my ICs again the do have very faint lines that look to have colour, so just gave in and did my last FRER but it's bfn. I know I should just step away from the tests for a few days now and just wait to see if AF arrives, but easier said than done!

Lizziedu49 · 27/10/2019 07:41

Same @Crazymummyto3 ☹️

Crazymummyto3 · 27/10/2019 06:44

Still no AF for me (now 3 days late) but still proper line either ☹️

Banoffeepie91 · 26/10/2019 23:45

@Broom19 I’ve just started taking pregnacare this cycle! Maybe that’s why everything is so messed up! Might stop taking and see if things go back to normal. Had heard good and bad things about them so thought I’d try as really wanted something to work but looks like maybe it’s had the opposite effect.

Macbless · 26/10/2019 22:47

@Broom19 interesting to hear that. I’ve seen quite a few people say that. I’m just taking Vit D and folic acid. I eat pretty healthily so not rushing to take more tablets.

AF has still not started but my temp is getting lower each day so fully prepared for AF to begin. AF was due today but I’m pretty sure it will arrive tomorrow.

Will see what the GP thinks on Tuesday. Pretty sure I’m ovulating just not sure the quality of my eggs are up to much! X
