HHello everyone - looking for some March friends to go through the dreaded TWW with 😁 DPO -3, AF due March 11.

Been on another thread for 4 cycles now but everyone on there seems to have gotten a BFP now apart from me 🤷🏽‍♀️ Hoping that we can support each other through this cycle and continue to do so for us that get BFNs and need to keep positive for each other.

Little bit about me - 36, 1 DS 15, TTC second child with partner, cycle 5, 1 early MC last cycle, 1 anovulation cycle in December - hoping this will be our month 💪🏼😍

@KerryW87 apparently if you take the pill then stop you can get like a boosting effect!

Yes I was just testing super early Cos I'm crazy 😜 my friend got a positive 4days prior so I thought hey, why not try 5 days prior?

KerryW87 · 10/03/2020 21:35

Oh right enough, got mixed up and thought it was earlier because you tested today! Fingers crossed 🤞

Ahh how exciting that it'll be your first! ❤️ I had my boys 10 and 8 years ago when I was much younger and I wasn't trying (on the pill)...how that ever happened now I have NO idea since almost a decade on I'm trying everything and getting nowhere! 😂

Pink15 · 10/03/2020 21:20

@KerryW87 yes would be good to know before weekend but I'm not due until Sunday 🙄
Are you still gonna wait until Friday to test?
I don't have any children yet. How long did it take to conceive your boys?

@Pix2 that's annoying!! Hopefully you will know one way or the other soon!

Pix2 · 10/03/2020 20:36

@Pink15 went to nurse for something else today and she did one for me and still BFN..not sure what to think, nurse wasnt sure what to think either..she told me to test again at a week late and if no AF by end of next week then to go to docs. I thought that as I got my 1st period 4 weeks after coming off pill that they had gone straight back to how they used to be before the pill. The mind boggles lol

Anyone else had any luck after AF no show and BFN then to go on and have a BFP?

KerryW87 · 10/03/2020 20:14

@Pink15 Haha yeah, I'd be the same! Be good if we knew before the weekend so we could either have a celebratory tea or a commiseration weekend wine 😂

Aww you never know, though. My wee sister said her symptoms were just like her PMS symptoms so even though it's infuriating them being similar, it means you never know! Update us in the morning then!

Yeah she does, this is her first so I'm so excited for her ❤️ I'm lucky enough to have my boys anyway, but fingers crossed for a wee lucky third! Would this be your first or do you have children? x

Pink15 · 10/03/2020 20:11

Test today*

Pink15 · 10/03/2020 20:11

@Pix2 did you do a pregnancy test? :)

Pix2 · 10/03/2020 20:09

Congrats @jazzibelle

Sending good luck to everyone else TTC StarStarStar

AF is now 3 days late for me..seriously thought she arrived earlier as felt a "gush" down below (sorry tmi) but nope just a lot of cm, had slight spotting yesterday with BFN but nothing today..if shes coming then wish she would just show up already!

Pink15 · 10/03/2020 20:07

@jazzibelle oh that makes sense!! I've never bought a CB one so not seen that table. When will you make a doctors appointment? :)

@KerryW87 haha probably tomorrow morning! Cos if I don't then by the evening I'll be wondering and early morning is better Ive heard! I'm pretty sure it's all in my head haha - I google constipation and apparently it's usually like at 2-3 months 😂so not yet. Normally I get sore boobs before AF so expecting that about tomorrow.
Ah that great news about your sister! But understand it's difficult for you! Does she know you're trying to conceive too? X

KerryW87 · 10/03/2020 20:02

@Pink15 😂 I've been there! Oh, here's hoping there's something to that faint positive then! 🤞🤞 Are you going to test again tomorrow or wait a couple of days? I read constipation is a symptom actually? Everything seems like a symptom 😂😫

I've had cramps for the past 4 days, AF isn't due until Friday and my boobs have been a bit sore since yesterday but I do get that before AF too so no exciting symptoms. My wee sister announced her pregnancy two weeks ago which I'm DELIGHTED about, but it's made me emotional about not getting anywhere 😭

jazzibelle · 10/03/2020 19:33

@Pink15 ha ha, I thought the same thing! According to the CB leaflet, their weeks is the time since conception, and they have as part of the same table "how your doctor will date your pregnancy". Based on my AF dates, I'll technically be 4-weeks tomorrow, but it's really 2 weeks since we conceived.

HallowsandHorcruxes · 10/03/2020 19:07

Congrats @jazzibelle that's great !

I'm on CD 31 now, no AF but BFN's Sad think we're going to look into our fertility treatment options now, we're coming into some money through the sale of our house which might be enough to help 🤞🏻

Pink15 · 10/03/2020 19:04

@KerryW87 so I tested this morning couldn't wait anymore! 😂 so 5 days before AF (10 dpo). I think I'm going crazy this morning with a bright torch light on my phone shining on the strip I thought I saw a very very faint positive so I kept it to look at after work and now it's disappeared. Today I did feel a bit constipated which is weird tbh as if I'm anxious about something it's normally the opposite - sorry if tmi. So I guess I'll test again tomorrow. Trying not to get my hopes up.
Have you got any symptoms?

Pink15 · 10/03/2020 19:02

@2020wish so sorry to hear that :( sending you big hugs xx

@jazzibelle congratulations! Amazing news 🥳 do you know how those clear blue calculates the weeks Cos if you've missed your period does that not make you 4 weeks Cos they calculate due date from first day of last period? Or do those tests just take it literally? Always confused me haha x

jazzibelle · 10/03/2020 12:38

Thanks @2020wish, sending you a big hug today xx

2020wish · 10/03/2020 12:14

@jazzibelle congrats!! So happy for u

jazzibelle · 10/03/2020 11:08

I woke up this morning and the insane bloated feeling had subsided. So I did wait every rational TTC woman would do... went online and bought some tests to be delivered now. I just had to know if my previous CBD was false positive or not! Every other test was so faint, I convinced myself that I was seeing evap/indent lines and AF would rear her ugly head.

Happy to report, got 2 BFP on my 3rd wee of the day Shock.

I think I might spend the rest of the day crying. Thank you everyone who sent good vibes and positive thoughts. Returning them all to you tenfold, especially those still TTC xx

March Bus - AF due March 11th
Pix2 · 10/03/2020 10:29

Aww @2020wish so sorry to hear that..sending positiveness and good luck for next time

I'm not sure how many dpo I am as only 2nd cycle since stopping birth control but my AF was due Saturday just gone and still waiting for it. BFN yesterday so not sure what to think..

Good luck all

Littlepeas2 · 10/03/2020 09:50

@2020wish really sorry to hear that. Today you will probably feel pretty awful but wake up tomorrow ready for the next cycle ❤️

KerryW87 · 10/03/2020 08:02

@2020wish Sorry to hear that, 2020wish :( It's so hard on you when your hopes are up! Keeping everything crossed for you for next cycle 🤞❤️

@Pink15 Forgot to reply the other day! I know, I'm not sure how I'll hold off until Friday but I can't take the constant disappointment so I'll try my best 😂 Have you got any symptoms now? Hopefully it's good news if you test tomorrow!

2020wish · 10/03/2020 05:48

:( af showed today and neg test.. why would I get a positive yesterday? So upset

Littlepeas2 · 09/03/2020 21:55

Hey ladies do you mind if I join you? I’m on cycle day 14 (due to ovulate around day 21 according to my app!) be nice to share the journey with some others!!

jazzibelle · 09/03/2020 21:52

No AF today, but I am feeling very bloated and tender across my belly. I don't know what pregnancy feels like, so I'm worried this is AF prepping come with a vengeance this month. Usually I don't have any symptoms before AF (other than a bit of emotion) and on day 1 of AF with cramps. Is the bloated feeling normal?

Pix2 · 09/03/2020 18:40

Thank you @Pink15
Hate playing the waiting game so been trying to take my mind off it and my OH has banned hpts from house till friday lol x

Pink15 · 09/03/2020 18:37

@2020wish congratulations sounds positive to me!! I think a faint line the day before AF is due is very normal as teachnically they're designed for testing the day AFTER your missed period so retest again in 2 days 🥳🥳 good luck!! Let us know 😊

@Pix2 welcome and good luck!
