@MrsTwentySeven ah sorry about the bfn, defo hold off testing for a couple of days, i keep reading on here that periods arent late, ovulation is so maybe youre right?

Day 28 for me, period officially a whole day late. Im now thinking the same, and i actually ov'd on cd14/15 when i got the second lot of ewcm and cramping so by that theory af should show up tomorrow....

@professorastrocat I’m going to hold off till next week , DH has banned me from testing.
I wonder if I had an LH surge but didn’t ovulate or ovulated late or something :( Because it doesn’t make sense why period is late and BFN 😭

professorastrocat · 06/02/2020 21:13

Sorry @littletandme ☹️ hope your cramps aren't too bad.

@MrsTwentySeven are you testing again tomorrow?

MrsTwentySeven · 06/02/2020 20:52

Haha @bumblee413 @littletandme @Lola871

Glad it gave you a chuckle 😂 Pulling tests apart is the ultimately crazy I think

Bumblebee413 · 06/02/2020 20:45

@MrsTwentySeven things like people pulling tests apart make me feel better about my own behaviour. Thanks for sharing! Smile Smile

I am awaiting my visit, as I have been doing all day. Come on, get it over with AF!

Lola871 · 06/02/2020 19:33

@MrsTwentySeven I can't see anything I'm afraid, but you're not out yet!!

Having a chocolate and wine night tonight, just in case I get a BFP, want to make sure I've enjoyed my wine this week 🤣

littletandme · 06/02/2020 19:31

@MrsTwentySeven I was looking at my FRER for ages trying to find a hint of a line, then I remembered someone said to shine your phone torch from behind. Stupid me got my hopes up before realising it was just the ridges on back of the test 🤦🏻‍♀️

Got hideous cramps right now, bad enough that I'm going to need some ibuprofen and a hot water bottle shortly so it looks like AF is on her way!

paintfairy · 06/02/2020 19:15

@MrsTwentySeven Hopefully if AF is coming, it'll show up soon and put you out of your misery!

MrsTwentySeven · 06/02/2020 19:12

@paintfairy right ?? Last thing we need! I’m 14dpo...period was due today. Tbh there was no link line in the window so I’m deffo out 🙈 but the pink on the edges is the only annoying hope I have. DH has told me to stop being crazy and wait till next week 😭

paintfairy · 06/02/2020 19:11

@MrsTwentySeven Oh ffs! I've read on here that this can be an issue with them? How unhelpful though!

How many dpo are you? (Lose track).
Is it worth doing another tomorrow? Or trying a different brand if you are far along enough?

Dreamer022020 · 06/02/2020 19:03

Hi everyone! I'm new here so this is my first ever post! Can I join you all?

I'm in the TWW too (for first baby) Confused Been DTD every other day since CD7 (27th Jan) so feel like there must be a chance for this cycle. Thought it would be a good idea to test on Valentine's Day for a few reasons:

Firstly it would be amazing to get anything positive that day as we're having a date night at home (nothing fancy, just a takeaway!). I'd love to surprise DH

Also it would be CD25 so 4 days before next period which is when Clear Blue digital says I can start testing. Also have another cheap early test you can take up to 6 days before expected period

Finally, I have no idea when I ovulate but if it's the average CD14 then it would be 11DPO.

It just feels like it would be a good time to test and would be amazing to tell DH that night, but trying not to get my hopes up as I am fully aware it could take months/years to get a BFP.

If it doesn't happen this month after DTD every other day then I may do some cheap OPKs next month just to be sure I am actually ovulating.

It would be lovely to chat to anyone who can relate/is in their TWW like me. I have some weird things going on but not sure if they're symptoms... Going a bit crazy over here!

Lots of luck to everyone hoping for a BFP in 2020!

Sausage1990 · 06/02/2020 19:02

No update from me today but just wanted to say 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻 to you ladies who are so patiently (inpatiently) waiting to test and hoping af stays away!!! Xxx

Wise0wl · 06/02/2020 18:40

@MrsTwentySeven I've never (yet!) taken a test apart so don't have any sensible advice to give, but I've got everything crossed for you! Try testing again tomorrow?

I'm not sure if AF is here for me or not - having yet another totally weird cycle (weird cycles obvs only started when I started TTC Hmm

Wishing all you Friday/weekend testers lots of luck, keep us posted!

MrsTwentySeven · 06/02/2020 18:04

So I tested with a FRER ladies ...I had a white line, transparent line but no pink (I’m guessing some faulty test)
So like the psycho that I am...took the test apart and I have pink dye on the EDGES...not even where it’s supposed to be and that dangerous hope is coming back 😭😭 Someone slap sense into me?

@jellybean252 ah keeping everything crossed for you! Im currently resisting the urge to use my tesco cheap test... ugh why is it one minute i dont want to do it til the weekend the next im desperate to do it now 😂

OP posts:
Bumblebee413 · 06/02/2020 14:13

Fingers crossed @Jellybean252 and @Hatepickinganame xxx

Jellybean252 · 06/02/2020 14:10

Still no AF for me today! Got all sorts of wierd sensations going on- but I think I'm OVER symptom spotting!!
I just feel like whenever the next time I go to the loo I will have come on... So I definitely have no hope for this month! But anyways fingers crossed I can test on Sunday if AF has not turned up. On Sunday AF will be 5days late.
Hoping with all my might that I don't come on before then!!!!!

Bumblebee413 · 06/02/2020 13:52

Last minute hope is weird! I'm waiting to come on today and am focussing on having a delicious gin later, but I've still definitely got a small voice going 'But what if....'.

paintfairy · 06/02/2020 13:45

@Hatepickinganame I hate that last minute hope! Its the worst! So near........eek.

@Anon87 😂😂😂 Shouldn't laugh but....

Lola871 · 06/02/2020 13:30

@professorastrocat I did have that but now I think maybe I imagined it 🙈 it was such a tiny amount

@Hatepickinganame so far so good! I'm the same, planning to wait until the Thursday as AF could come Tuesday or Wednesday so want to make sure it's late.

Of course bodies like to play tricks when TTC so who knows what's going on!

Hatepickinganame · 06/02/2020 13:30

I think I'll order some more frers is af doesnt show up tomorrow. Still no cramps, but boobs are getting more painful.... there's that dangerous hope kicking in 😂

@Anon87 sorry but that did make me giggle, hope youre ok though

OP posts:
littletandme · 06/02/2020 13:11

@MrsTwentySeven yes I've got more FRERs coming today as well, I'm hoping to hold out till Sunday now and use a cheapie if AF doesn't show on Saturday which would be cd37, although I've had much longer cycles before when on the implant.

There is the possibility that I have assumed ovulation the day I got cramps and a slightly lighter than positive OPK, when Fem tried to change it to two days later based on BBT so until AF arrives I'm really not sure on what DPO I am, I could only be 11dpo today instead of 13dpo 🤷🏻‍♀️

Anon87 · 06/02/2020 12:56

I just wanna throw my update in, obviously I'm not symptom spotting because I genuinely believe that I am going to bleed to death. I think my womb has become its own entity and is trying to escape my body. At this point I'm willing to help it along. I have asked numerous customers to just put me out of my misery and they all think I'm joking. I'm like "no seriously, just end me now or take me to the pub!" 😆😆😆

professorastrocat · 06/02/2020 12:33

@Hatepickinganame that sounds very promising! Keep us posted!

@Lola871 fingers crossed for you. I don't have the same sort of achy boobs as normal, it's slightly different. They don't hurt if I prod them but are a bit sensitive and generally feel like they've been inflated a tad!!

I thought you had a little spotting that could be implantation? I'm a tiny bit crampy and stabby today. Trying hard to not get my hopes up but can't help it 😫 I'm 9dpo today.
