Just that really - trying to keep away from the early testing. Anyone else waiting?

Hey ladies  @Curious012 @Fawnandwren @Suki2020 @Littlebee1990

I'm now 11 dpo, yeasterday at 10 dpo I had quite a big dip on my temp chart with some cramping but today my temp has gone back up, don't know if to take that as a good sign or not? I'm trying not to get my hopes up as I feel af may come and disappoint me.
Fingers crossed for everyone this cycle 🤞 x

Hey lovely lot!

AF is finally saying bye bye .. CD5 for me, we’re trying SMEP this month so let’s hope for baby dust! I made another thread if you ladies do fancy jumping on there or we can have both. AF due 30th May and I am going to try really really really really hard not to early test this month!

Above is the thread, lots of people in similar positions as us all! X

Suki2020 · 04/05/2020 09:54

@curious012 I’m ok thank you. I’m still on the same cycle day 44 now 😩 think I’m in for the long haul this time.

Curious012 · 04/05/2020 09:24

@Littlebee1990 @laurah92 @Suki2020 @Fawnandwren how’s everyone getting on? Any good news from April? 🤞🏻🤞🏻
Going into May now here if anyone’s joining I’m on CD 7 AF has finally left the building 😂 xx

AF due today and I woke up early and obviously found the last test in the house and did it .. BFN! So AF will show her face very soon. I only came off the pill in December and used condoms for 4 months but again naively thought it could happen straight away. Let’s see what May brings! X

Curious012 · 28/04/2020 13:17

@littlebee1990 exactly it’s better to know I suppose - onwards and upwards ☺️
This was our 2nd cycle but I’ve been off the pill since November and tracking my cycles since then. I just naively didn’t even think we would even need to ‘try’ but here we are! I definitely underestimated how much I would be thinking about it once we made the decision to try and how long that TWW feels. I really feel for people who have been trying for a long time
fingers crossed you won’t need to do the TWW next month and you get your BFP before the weekend 😀 xx

Argh sending evil eyes to your AF @curious012 but at least you know and can now focus on the May cycle. How long have you been TTC? This is our first month and we only decided half way through the month so I honestly don’t expect it to happen but it already feels like a lifetime.. x

Curious012 · 28/04/2020 12:47

Well I’m back to CD 1 AF just showed her ugly face 2 days earlier than expected! Will still be watching on here and hoping I see some BFPs from you ladies this month got all my fingers crossed for you 🤞🏻
@Littlebee1990 So hoping that AF doesn’t show her ugly face for you!! Let us know how you get on
@Suki2020 happy birthday for the weekend! So annoying when the ovulation day changes it all gets so confusing
@laurah92 you start noticing every bloody twinge on the TWW don’t you 😒 hope you feel a little bit better later

Hey everyone 😊
How is everyone today?
I'm around 5/6 dpo now, I've been feeling very bloated and gassy, very down in the dumps and very exhausted, probably all just normal pms tho, I'm sure I will get af next week. Been feeling a bit crampy today tho with some twinges down below on my right side. I hate this 2ww x

Suki2020 · 28/04/2020 09:48

@Curious012 you still have a chance for a BFP until your AF shows up. sorry I haven’t been on for a few days, it was my birthday over the weekend and I j just wanted to switch off and enjoy quality time with my OH. No I’ve not re tested, AF hasn’t arrived yet. According to my chart is should have arrived on sat but still nothing. The app I’m using to chart my BBT changed my ovulation date from day 17 to 27 last week which meant AF then wasn’t due until 5th May. Yesterday it changed it back to day17 so I’m now so confused lol.

Littlebee1990 · 28/04/2020 08:35

@curious012 You’re not out until AF shows, I have EVERYTHING crossed for you. I’ve not tested again and AF due tomorrow. If she doesn’t show on time (not unusual to be a few days late) I’ll hold out until the weekend to test... I think

Curious012 · 28/04/2020 08:26

Caved this morning and did an Amazon cheapie. BFN not even a hint of a line Sad at 12DPO I would expect to see something so looks like I’m out this month.
How’s everyone doing today? @laurah92 @Suki2020
@Littlebee1990 have you tested again? X

OP posts:
Curious012 · 27/04/2020 08:33

Morning everyone!
Haven’t been on the last few days tried to relax over the weekend 😂 no symptoms here, 11DPO and feel completely normal so expecting AF to show her face on Thursday as predicted. Still trying to hold out from testing until then. Hope everyone is feeling good today Smile xx

Littlebee1990 · 26/04/2020 10:59

AF due 29th, did a FRER on 24th and was negative.. don’t feel any different to normal so expecting AF this week!

laurah92 · 26/04/2020 10:54

Hey everyone 😊@Suki2020@Littlebee1990@Fawnandwren@Curious012
Sorry I haven't been on here the last few days, been so busy at work, so tired. How is everyone today?
I'm around 3dpo. My temperature has risen and stayed up so all looking good to confirm ovulation, I ovulated so late this month at cd 25, thought it wasn't going to happen this month. Me and oh was dtd till 1 dpo, so fingers crossed 🤞
How is everyone else? X

Suki2020 · 25/04/2020 09:05

@laurah92 how are you feeling today? I felt better yesterday but a little down again today. Not sure if it’s hormones or just the lockdown getting to me.

Littlebee1990 · 24/04/2020 20:51

Ok I’m not ordering any more FRER another today and a BFN.. AF not due until 29th but if they’re in the house I can’t help myself. Just have this bad feeling it’s going to take us a long time and can’t shift it

Fawnandwren · 24/04/2020 17:34

@Curious012 I bet the 30th feels ages away. I don't normally test before my AF due date, but that's because I am so regular. Hopefully you and @laurah92 have some good news x

Fawnandwren · 24/04/2020 17:26

@Suki2020 yes folic acid too, it's such a small tablet I always forget I take it! I used to take iron which helped with my periods, but I've run out at the moment. I always get migraines on my periods but it helps if I take iron x
@Curious012 no worries, I mean I'm not pregnant yet. So clearly they are doing much atm, however ashwagandha and Maca help with balancing hormones and help with my skin issues and apparently with male and female fertility x

Curious012 · 24/04/2020 14:53

@Suki2020 feeling moody here too!! Might try and switch off over the weekend and spend some time in the garden Smile

Curious012 · 24/04/2020 14:52

@fawnandwren thanks for listing those supplements, I need to look into getting the same. Just trying to eat healthy and take normal Multis for now. Hope you’re feeling alright today! No testing here (yet) going to try and wait out until 30th but I know by Monday I’ll be itching to test 😂 x
@laurah92 I know got my fingers crossed too. Hope work isn’t taking too much out of you today! I feel shattered and just low today with all going on. Have you still seen elevated temp? X

OP posts:
laurah92 · 24/04/2020 13:45

@Suki2020 that's ok, I feel like that a bit today, very down in the dumps and very exhausted. Can't wait to finish work and get home. Roll on 8pm. How are you feeling today? I think I'm just going to wait to see if af arrives but I know what I'm like haha 😂 xx

Suki2020 · 24/04/2020 10:52

@fawnandwren oh no sorry to hear that, hope you are ok. Do you normally suffer with heavy periods? Yes I’m feeling better, still a little on edge. I only take folic acid, is that enough or should I be taking others as well? My GP only told me about folic acid.

laurah92 · 24/04/2020 10:48

@Curious012 you never know, fingers crossed for you 🤞🤞 sending you lots of baby dust.
I'm feeling so tired today, so excited and feeling a bit down in the dumps today, think it's my job tho, I'm at work today and it's so stressful and busy, just want to go home x

Fawnandwren · 24/04/2020 10:26

@Suki2020 I felt like that yesterday, then had some separate bad news. My period is so heavy so just want to curl up in a ball rn. Hope today is better for you x
