Anyone testing 26-30th jan and want a pal?

Yep no luck for me either. Couldn't even face having a look on the forum, wanted to avoid good news (how ridiculous). I'm sorry for anyone disappointed this cycle but fingers crossed for next. I'll be testing end of this month. Sending well wishes and good luck to everyone xxx

Hey @Raizelrea sorry your AF arrived, I hope this cycle is more simple, travelling can effect ovulation/AF arrival which is bizarre to me!! Yes I'm back in my fertile window now ovulating this week, I ovulated early last month so this month I'm using more OPK's to try and pinpoint the day. Last cycle when I though I was 9DPO I was actually 12dpo so when AF arrived I was very confused!! I've brought some pressed this month I will give it a go as it's meant to mimic CM so fingers crossed for my BFP! Xx

@AliSxo That's very early - but at least makes the cycles go by quicker! You are almost in your fertile window now then!

I got AF yesterday, my whole last cycle was a mess but I travelled a fair bit and was ill towards the end of it so going to say it's due to that. We'll be trying SMEP this cycle I think - we've done "similar" approaches but never followed it to a T so goving it a shot.

😞 @PlanBea I'm sorry to hear this. I hope you are okay soon

@PlanBea sorry about AF I feel the same plus I got a car parking ticket! Not a good day

And I'm out. AF has arrived early today. Sat at work trying not to cry, I was sure it would be lucky month 13 for us.

@Raizelrea CD6 for me..... started my OPKS earlier this cycle as last month I ovulated CD12 and normal it's CD15.... you're not out until AF arrives so don't lose hope xx

@PlanBea well all I’ve had is brown spotting no full AF I’m sure it will come, but not something I usually get.

@AliSxo I'm 13 DPO and all tests have been negative. I've had on and off spotting since Saturday which is odd, just waiting for AF to arrive so that I can have a fresh start. What about you?

@3isthemagic @Jonesbabynumber1 @Lexi365 sorry to hear you're all out! I hope next month is your month.

I'm still crampy, I'm still not out, and I'm still getting BFNs on ICs. If only the two week wait was a two day wait, then at least I would know either way. Uurgh.

Hey @raizelrea how are you getting on? Xxx

That's me out, my hope was short-lived. Time to restock on OPKs & pre-seed & on we go. Start my reflexology tomorrow

@lexie365 heartbreaking isn’t it. All you can do is enjoy the mental break from thinking about it ready for the next cycle. What cycle are you on?

af has just arrivedgutted. on to the next cycle i guess.

@3isthemagic hard to know what to say could be implantation at 9dpo but could also be AF. I get spotting day before period. Be good to hold off until tomorrow because if it is implantation it wouldn’t show in HGC yet I don’t think.

I’m out I’ve had spotting not surprised at all into cycle 6 😭

Can someone please calm me down....
My cycles are usually 26-27 days & I'm on CD28 & no AF.....

I had the tiniest brown spotting this morning when I wiped so assumed AF was on its way but nothing since.

I'm only 9DPO (I ovulate late & have a short cycle) and after 3 years of trying I'm not getting my hopes up & I don't have any tests in the house anyway.

I don't even know why I'm posting this TBH except to let off some steam. At this stage even if AF arrives I'll be happy as it will mean my luteal phase has lengthened slightly which can only be good.

God the TWW sends you a bit crazy doesn't it?!!

@PlanBea they are Femometer ones. I’ll just be waiting to see if AF arrived now. That’s interesting temp has gone up.

How’s everyone getting on? @PlanBea I did an IC and it was looked as though it was turning positive but no it turned into a BFN. Temp still up a little but nothing to get excited about

@Mycrazylife85 booking holidays and residentials is surely going to make the universe think it's inconvenient so now is the time haha. I keep thinking "what if Feb/March would be the month it works?" Uurgh.

@Jonesbabynumber1 are your ICs ok ones? One more day till Thursday. Think about it as holding out for the first morning wee. Fingers crossed!

I've no clue what's happening with my temp today. It had gone up a bit. Trying attaching a screenshot, the two I've circled I know are outliers due to amount of sleep/time of day I temped. The line is where I think I ovulated, Daysy thought it was two days earlier (and, yes, I missed a temp this cycle!) I'm still 10dpo from my calculation so not sure if it's worth using my precious FRER today or not. Aargh!

@PlanBea sorry and the BFN. I’m still crampy Too I have one IC left but managed to hold out not testing today 🙈 and due AF Thursday. Let me know what your temp does tomorrow

@PlanBea I understand re. Your job too. It's head verses heart. Today I booked myself on a residential course in November with work. There is no point not for me. And holidays too. May as well book those too. Maybe that'll be an omen for me 🤞😂

Fingers crossed for you @PlanBea, I'll keep a watch out for you. For me, if I have another 37 day cycle then maybe 16th-19th February time. All being well we can have a 'more active weekend' ☺️ this month AF is totally different though, and heavy (for me) it's usually so light it's pathetic. I'm temping these days and, whilst I do have days when I don't get a solid three hours sleep and can't count it, it's good. Fingers crossed this is your month 🤞

@Mycrazylife85 hopefully this cycle has helped your body reset after the crazy last one. Do you know approximately when your next fertile week is due?

I've taken 2 ICs today, both BFN, but currently sat with cramping still. I'm holding off on using my FRER as I don't think it will show until Thursday and I won't get a chance to buy more before the weekend. If we don't get our BFP this month, we've agreed to stop for the next two months until I start my new job and so I'm not due at BIL's wedding. It'll mean if get SMP rather than maternity allowance. Still not as good as full maternity I get currently but I couldn't keep my life on hold any longer. It makes this cycle more intense than the previous disappointments though.

AF arrived right on time. CD26. My luteal phase was 11 days again. I wonder if that's enough? My cycles (24-26 days) seem short compared to lots of you which, on the plus side means I get to try again sooner.. But maybe short is part of the problem? Anyway gutted again this month so bought myself an Ava bracelet from ebay so I can start temping for next month (anyone else got one? How are you getting on with it?) More data might not help anything, but it's making me feel like I'm doing something during all this waiting. Would love to see some more BFPs if anyone is still in, and if you're also out - happy glass of wine (or two) to you, and see you on next month's thread?
