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 💐

Don't really know what to think 😩 FRER was negative this morning, just done another IC now and got another very faint line but definitely pink. Obviously this wasn't fmu so will try again in the morning. I'm guessing it's a BFN, but if it is I'd rather the test be stark white than keep me wrongly guessing

KCT93 · 25/10/2019 16:59

@toteswingingit thank you! I am not getting my hopes up as I know it is very early and highly unlikely to get a BFP but just in case 😂 I only usually have a 12 day luteal phase so only works out 4 days early but we shall see!

ArabellaSwan · 25/10/2019 16:03

@Lizziedu49 Thank you!
It wasn't nearly as bad as what i have read about them, it wasn't pleasant but i wouldn't say painful it felt like period cramps so depending on how bad you get period cramps that's the best thing to base it off.

I'm using OPK's I use to do BBT but after nearly 2 years it became too much of a hassle to take at the same time every day.

Lizziedu49 · 25/10/2019 15:50

@ArabellaSwan are you using OPKs or BBT charting?

Lizziedu49 · 25/10/2019 15:49

@ArabellaSwan was the hsg test painful?

Keeping my fingers crossed for you

ArabellaSwan · 25/10/2019 15:44

Hello, hope you don't mind me jumping on.

Af is due today no sign yet so i have a frer ready for tomorrow morning.

I've had 4 miscarriages within the last year with my latest back in August, finished my fertility referral and they found no issues so fingers crossed this could be our time!

I had a HSG test 2 weeks ago and heard they increase your chances of conception for the following 3 months so let see if that true

toteswingingit · 25/10/2019 15:02

@KCT93 fingers crossed for you! 8 DPO is still really early so there's still a chance yet!

KCT93 · 25/10/2019 11:00

Still getting cramps, my cervix has gone back high and soft today and temp dropped which can be a sign of implantation. Boobs are a bit sore but I don't know if that is because I have been prodding them hoping they will be sore as a clearer sign🙈😂going to do a FRER tomorrow I will only be 8 DPOso still early but I am going to Oktoberfest so if get a faint line I won't touch an alcoholic drink!

Bananaloaf88 · 25/10/2019 07:37

My BBT has dropped about 0.20 today. No AF as of yet but I did take two tests this morning. One with normal urine & one with diluted (clutching at straws!) Both where 100% negative. Considering i'm about 20DPO I think I am out.

Unless I am in the tiniest of minorities there really should be a positive by now & there is no chance that we have conceived even if I have ovulated later Confused

Boobs are still sore & belly has started to cramp. So i'm hoping now to see AF & have a more "normal" cycle in Nov!

Macbless · 25/10/2019 07:13

You’re not out until AF starts. Hope it stays away for you @Crazymummyto3 @Chefwifelife @banoffeepie91.
Having said that I’m pretty sure AF is it’s way for me 😬

toteswingingit · 25/10/2019 06:53

Sorry to hear about all the BFNs this morning!

AF still hasn't shown for me, but by god am I crampy! Constant since yesterday, just want it to turn up now!

Good luck for next cycle everyone and good luck to those still waiting!

kwazycupcakes · 25/10/2019 06:49

Sorry to hear about your BFN @Crazymummyto3 @Chefwifelife @Banoffeepie91 💐

I did an IC late last night, BFN. Temp drop and AF has arrived this morning. Gutted, not sure what my body is doing. Onto cycle 11. Today is going to be a hard day to get through.

😞😞😞

Good luck to everyone still waiting for AF, fingers crossed for you 🤞

BFN for me as well unfortunately. Really annoyed because I didn’t track this month to try and be relaxed but looks like I predicted ovulation wrong so we’ll have been DTD at the wrong time this month. Back to OPKs and bbt tracking when AF finally turns up I think!

Chefwifelife · 25/10/2019 05:37

My temp has dipped this morning (but still above coverline), bfn on IC. Sorry @Crazymummyto3 for your rubbish bfn too. Is anyone testing to give us some good news?

Crazymummyto3 · 25/10/2019 05:15

Just done a FRER and it's a BFN, so looks like it was evap lines on the ICs ☹️

Crazymummyto3 · 24/10/2019 22:05

AF is due today but no signs yet. I took an IC this morning and the very faintest of lines came up, fainter than the one the previous day, so I'm guessing we're out this month

Megs2906 · 24/10/2019 20:45

Congrats @Lynds4536 😄🥳

Macbless · 24/10/2019 20:39

@Chefwifelife sorry meant to say.... my AF is due Saturday. But cycle ranges from 25-28 days so I’ll only test if I’ve not started by Monday/Tuesday.

Macbless · 24/10/2019 20:37

Congratulations 🥳 @lynds4536

I used natural cycles as contraception for a year before TTC. I’m not sure if I’d recommend it. It’s £40 a year. But now there is over 18 months of data to help with predicting ovulation. That said it didn’t say I’d ovulated on CD14 until about CD19 so we did extra DTD, even tho I had a positive OPK on 13th. I’m sticking with it as it’s got so much data on it now but if I was starting again I’d got for a free one! @Chefwifelife how do you find ovusense? Xx

Lynds4536 · 24/10/2019 19:32

Forgot to add a picture of test xx

Lynds4536 · 24/10/2019 19:31

Can i join?? I am 29 and this is our 10th month of trying. Im due my period tomorrow but tested today as have really sore boobs and felt sick all week. I got a postive result but feel like my time of the month is going to appear at any minute. Had a miscarriage last year so am really neevous and paranoid.

Megs2906 · 24/10/2019 19:22

@toteswingingit same here. The waiting game is driving me mad 😂🙁

toteswingingit · 24/10/2019 19:05

I've had pink spotting today which I get every now and again before AF, that combined with my BFN this morning makes me almost certainly out.
Just want AF to arrive now so I can crack on with the next cycle!

Those temp charts look promising ladies, fingers crossed!

Megs2906 · 24/10/2019 18:16

Hi all, jumping on the band wagon too. AF due on Sunday, took a test 9dpo and 10dpo bfn but have a speck of blood today thinking possible IB (11dpo). Also have the worse heart burn. Gonna hold off testing to Sunday at least I think. So hard though 😭 those Bfn have me thinking I'm probably out this month.

Chefwifelife · 24/10/2019 18:11

@kwazycupcakes your charts looking good!

@Macbless I've never seen those charts before. When is af due?

Here's my ff chart and Ovusense one.
