Just want AF to arrive so new cycle can begin...

AF due in 3 days.

Am sure I'm out this month - negative FRER today and I have the usual PMS acne.

Just want my period to come already so that I can get this useless cycle over with and have a commiseration beer.

Just frustrating as have been taking pre-conception vitamins for months, cut out caffeine, no alcohol during TWW, have DTD every other day, tracked ovulation and with no success.

Anyone else fancy a moan whilst waiting for AF to show up?

Glad to hear things are moving along for you @Sunbird24 🥳
Just checked and my spotting has disappeared for now 🤞🏻✨

Sunbird24 · 15/04/2021 14:58

I tested, getting fainter!

LS2020 · 15/04/2021 12:59

Well done @mrswilso for not wasting the test but annoying you’ve had a bit more. That’s what happened to me the previous 2 cycles where it came early, I’ve never had spotting or anything and was like ??

mrswilso · 15/04/2021 12:10

@Sunbird24 I've been patting myself on the back so you're spot on 🤩🤣
Had a bit more spotting when I wiped there...think maybe it is AF 😤 not full blown yet so still secretly hoping...we'll see...

Sunbird24 · 15/04/2021 12:02

Ooh, don’t know how to feel about that! 😂 Well done on not wasting a test?

mrswilso · 15/04/2021 11:48

🤣🤣🤣 @Sunbird24
I ended up managing not to test - peed in the cup and everything but threw it away...
Gaaaah! 🤣

Sunbird24 · 15/04/2021 11:45

@mrswilso you can’t possibly be still holding...

mrswilso · 15/04/2021 08:42

@LS2020 I'm at 1.5 hour hold on my SMU right now trying my hardest not to waste a FRER 🤣🤣🤣

LS2020 · 15/04/2021 08:41

@mrswilso omg that graph!! 😍
It can be a good sign, I’ve read arguments for both ways so I wouldn’t worry!
Ooh the pink CM is interesting, I hope it’s a good sign. See how you go today and if you get anymore spotting and if not test in the morning!!

mrswilso · 15/04/2021 08:26

I've phoned in and taken today off - tmi but I've got pretty bad 💩 and I don't think that's a good sign is it?
OMGGGGG why do I torture myself like this!?
Crampy too and had one tiny swipe of pink CM...it's too early for AF but only by a couple of days...I've NEVER had her come early before though...

mrswilso · 15/04/2021 07:04

@LS2020 ...😳
And I just woken up feeling so nauseous...
CD27, due on CD29/30...

Just want AF to arrive so new cycle can begin...
LS2020 · 15/04/2021 06:58

@mrswilso you’re so strong! Mines back down again today and I’m still tempted to test as have v strong symptoms for 8dpo, tho making me think AF is going to come early. I’m actually getting to the point where a BFN will give me the life kick I need to stop being so obsessive!

@Sunbird24 ah yes you mentioned! Does it all get done at a clinic?

Sunbird24 · 14/04/2021 21:35

@LS2020 I’m doing this solo - not had sex in over 3 years! 🤭🤣

mrswilso · 14/04/2021 20:15

@LS2020 I'm gonna try my hardest not to test until after the weekend...HAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAA 🤣
Honestly though, I probably won't unless my RHR starts trolling me, I actually think I'd burst the bin with the force behind a negative test being flung at it 🤣

LS2020 · 14/04/2021 20:02

@mrswilso when are you thinking? Hope your day at work is a little better tomorrow!

@CaribouCarafe I’m so jealous of the wine. We went to pizza express tonight after doing a bit of shopping and was fully planning a big glass there but I came over so nauseous and faint before we went in I stuck to water and now I’m home and feeling better all I want is a glass and none in! Hope the witch stays away for you

@Sunbird24 one of the only times I’ve wished for a negative but hope it comes soon for you 🤞🏻 Do you think you’ll do another FET/IVF cycle or try naturally (is that the right word I swear after 2 years for me, it doesn’t feel natural anymore!) for a bit?

mrswilso · 14/04/2021 18:56

@Sunbird24 waiting for the negative drove me insane - I didn't get mine negative until after my first natural bleed post-management had finished so I know it's fucking haaard but try not to let it get you down ❤️

Sunbird24 · 14/04/2021 18:40

Enjoy your booze ladies! Someone had smashed a bottle of wine in the supermarket last night and I couldn’t go anywhere near that aisle because of the smell, so don’t think I’ll be drinking any time soon!
HPT is still positive so will try again in a couple of days to see if that’s changed. Once it’s negative I guess I start on the OPKs again...

@CaribouCarafe ENJOY IT ❤️ even though I really hope she doesn't show and you have to test tomorrow haha 🤣
I'm actually just about to pour a vodka after a horrendous day in work - I've just pee'd already so that I can't test even if I want to 🤣

@Sunbird24 you made me snort out my wine... it was worth it though Wink.

Today is my expected AF date, trying to hold off on a test although tempted to do so anyway.

(Not expecting a BFP hence the wine)

mrswilso · 14/04/2021 16:50

@LS2020 back up to 69 today...I haven't tested yet...

LS2020 · 14/04/2021 07:56

@Sunbird24 that gave me a little chuckle 😂 hope you’re doing the best you can be ❤️

@mrswilso how’s RHR? Mines jumped up two on 7dpo so will have to keep watching...

mrswilso · 13/04/2021 22:20

I LOLd a bit there @Sunbird24 🤣
Glad to hear you've still got your sense of humour ❤️

Sunbird24 · 13/04/2021 15:14

Think everything is almost finished today - TMI but bad hay fever (ie lots of sneezing!) has probably helped...

LS2020 · 12/04/2021 20:26

@mrswilso I agree, I don’t think mine began rising til 11/12dpo and wasn’t noticeable until 13/14dpo. Mine was very dippy in TWW so youre probably right! I mostly just feel so far away that I’m not really worrying about it at the moment. Think I had a bit of boob twinge though so hoping it’s not a shorter cycle (as normally get a week to the day of AF starting).

Let’s watch it next couple of days, I wouldn’t test before weds/thu for you anyway so still lots of time!!
