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 💐

Hi @kwazycupcakes glad to hear I'm not the only one that hates the TWW! We've agreed not to test until I'm late, I've had 2 chemicals so to stop me POAS for a week and wasting money I'll wait until early next week if AF doesn't turn up. I had a 26 day cycle without fail but since taking pregnacare it's gone to 29/30 days. If it doesn't happen this month seriously considering not taking it! X

Hi @MrsN2121, thanks for joining us 🙂

I totally understand, I am also quite chilled out until the TWW and then I start to get obsessed again and it's all I can think about! Do you plan on testing on the weekend? I hope this is your month 🤞

Yes I take pregnacare - been taking it for a few months and not noticed any changes in my cycle yet (unless this late AF is one of them 😣)

@BezalHell haha i am glad i am not the only one!

AF not here yet (i feel like even typing it out is going to jynx it!) 🤞🤞🤞

I'm the same, Kwazy! Every time I feel a twinge, I expect to see blood. I usually start spotting a couple of days before AF is due. This hasn't happened yet, which I'm taking as a good sign.

Hi everyone, I'm at the same point as you all. 35 cycle 6 of TTC #1, I've tried to go for a much more chilled approach this month which was working until this week. Currently 10 days PO, apps say AF due Monday but I think Sunday.
As a side note, are any of you taking pregnacare conception and have you noticed your cycles have got longer since taking it?

Anyone else going to the toilet every hour to see if AF has arrived or is it just me? 🤣

Hi @Umbreon, thanks for joining me!

Sorry to hear about your BFN. But you're not out until AF arrives, I have my fingers crossed for you 🤞 are you normally regular? What brand test did you use?

Hope AF stays away and you get a BFP in a couple of days!

Hey Bezal 🙂

Thanks for replying, feels great to have someone to share the week nervously with and who understands!

Nausea sounds like a good sign! I know what you mean about worrying, I am very conscious that I am coming up to 1 year TTC and may have to go to the doctors soon 😣 really hope that AF stays away and you get some good news on the weekend, I have my fingers crossed for you 🤞

Hi Kwazy, AF was due on Monday but I tested negative this morning. Disappointed, but still holding out a little hope.

Hey Kwazy!

I'm in the same boat. On cycle day 26 today, and AF is due on Friday. 11DPo today, and I've been feeling really nauseous since Saturday. Lots of twinges down below.

We're on Cycle 5 of TTC, and I'm trying not to worry that it isn't happening. I'm 38 so I feel that time isn't on my side! Just praying that AF doesn't show up. I'm not planning to test until she's late, as it really demoralises me to see BFNs.
