Hello and welcome!

I kinda wanted to make my own thread as I've been itching to POAS at only 7dpo 😒 I know I know... ridiculous right?

So need you lovely ladies to join in and keep each other distracted, share your experience, have a giggle/cry together and most importantly have each others support during BFNs and BFPs.

Please feel free to jot down your cycle/dpo info and when your AF is due so we can all keep a track of where we are!

This is also a thread where you are free to post any thoughts, poems, pictures, recipes, dreams and aspirations, the good the bad and the ugly 😝

As always stay safe and baby dust to you all!

Cycle #6
CD22
7 DPO
TTC #1
A fudging F due 17th

Just tested again. Not sure if it counts with the saturation tweaking I did but I think there’s a little smudge of pink where the line should be!

The dark splodge further to the right is just where the plastic bit on the test starts, that’s nothing.

@GreysLove and @CaramelTart23 sorry you're both going through that. I wish you both lots of luck for next month x

Hopingtobelucky · 21/06/2020 21:25

Sorry to hear that @CaramelTart23, I had a CP at the end of April. I'd called the dr for a telephone appointment as I'd had positive tests that then became very faint and then negative but my regular as clockwork AF was 2 days late, by the time the dr called back in the afternoon it had started. She said as I'd already got a negative test there wasn't anything they needed to do but she gave some worsening advice such as what to do if extreme pain/bleeding incase of an ectopic pregnancy and she would record it incase it continues to happen and needs investigation. She was really nice and offered to send some leaflets. Reading lots of other threads and on the internet we pick them up because we can test so early. It's still rubbish after the excitement of seeing a positive test but for me personally I felt relieved I had got that far. Hope you're ok and getting looked after.
AF arrived 2 days early for me today. Going to put an order in for digital ovulation tests, conceive plus and 2 packs of FRER.
Yesterday also booked in with a fertility clinic for August so will try everything this month but if not will hopefully get some help. X

Mich2020 · 21/06/2020 21:13

Sorry to hear this @CaramelTart23 I think my AF might be starting this evening too.
Pink spotting only when I'm wiping and the tiniest bit but no doubt overnight it'll turn into full blown flow 😩 it's shit.
But fingers crossed for next cycle xx

2020mission · 21/06/2020 20:55

@CaramelTart23 so sorry, I completely understand how you're feeling as I had a chemical on my first month TTC in January. I had a faint but clear positive FRER too and then 2 days later tried again and was a bit fainter, then bled like a period the next day. Like you experienced, it was slightly heavier than a normal period and with more "bits" rather than just liquid. It's so upsetting, but do keep in mind you had success with the sperm meeting the egg. It's just bad luck and there's nothing you could have done to avoid it. I found my husbands reaction of being gutted when it happened really assured me that he is as ready for a baby as I am.

Fingers crossed for the next cycle 🤞

Maybe333 · 21/06/2020 20:38

@CaramelTart23 totally get that.. I'm holding on to any little hope I have left here that I could still get a BFP in these last 3days but dreading when (if) AF shows her head! I will probably feel much the same as you've described!
I promised myself at the beginning that I will just see what happens and not get consumed by it... Oops... Definitely too late for that!! I'm steadily getting worse. Hugs of support x

CaramelTart23 · 21/06/2020 20:07

Hey Ladies so sorry that I haven't been posting... I haven't been feeling myself.

I think I may have experienced CP as the bleeding is not like my usual AF. I was never a heavy bleeder. It would also explain the faint pregnancy lines, closed cervix and the symptoms I've been getting this cycle etc.

I've put an online consultation through so hopefully GP will get back to me tomorrow. I don't really know what follows on after this as I've not experienced this before.

Really feel shit and I've had a good cry in the past few days.

Times like this I am so grateful for my husband who has been an absolute dime.

I've ordered more ovulation tests (fertile window starting 26th) so no more moping around and feeling sorry for myself!!

BRING ON NEXT CYCLE 😆

And 🖕🏼 AF I hope the ovary doors lock on you next cycle... bitch!

Mich2020 · 21/06/2020 13:30

Still no AF here!! No tests in the house either so think I'll order one tomorrow for delivery Tuesday of no period by then. Does anyone know if agnus cactus affects periods? I've not been late in agesssss and I'm not stressed or anything, and I'm not overthinking anything. I don't have the usual before AF cramps/achy legs nothing. Gives me a bit of hope. I'm now CD 33 of a usual 29 day cycle. Sometimes they vary but only usually to CD 31 so I'm definitely late now. Anyone in the same situation or had any positive stories? I took a co op cheap test Friday and it was negative xx

GreysLove · 21/06/2020 10:29

Just a quick update from me, this AF is very different from my usual period so I reckon it's a CP. Which would account for all the symptoms over the past 2 weeks, and the squinter on the FRER. I feel happy that fertilisation took place as it's the first time for me, and glad I didn't get a stronger positive as I'd be much more disappointed.
Need to pick up more OPKs to keep an eye on my cycle but here's to trying again cycle #3.
Good luck to you all x

Itisme90 · 21/06/2020 09:38

Well AF was supposed to arrive either yesterday or today still nothing so I took my 1 and only test I have I definitely think I can see a second line can any of yous see it

LAG1986 · 21/06/2020 06:58

Negative for me, so now on to cycle number 5. AF arrived dead on time. So at least I know I'm ovulating as I should. Xx

wenders4 · 20/06/2020 18:55

Thanks @2020mission. I've bought ovulation sticks too this months. I hate not feeling more control of it

2020mission · 20/06/2020 15:07

I do think my cycles might be too short? What do you all think... attached the list since the beginning of the year when starting TTC.

2020mission · 20/06/2020 15:04

@wenders4 my last 3 cycles were similar variations: 27, 25 and then 31 days. I've got ovulation sticks for my current cycle as I'm not trusting app estimations anymore.
When the lengths vary ovulation is likely to be less predictable too! Worth a shot for you maybe to make sure you're hitting the right time?

wenders4 · 20/06/2020 14:33

Well 33 day cycle confirmed this month as AF arrived today, last month was 31 days and previous 3 months 26 days. Would you start basing your ovulation date now on a 31-33 day cycle?

xx11xx · 20/06/2020 14:12

Good luck @Mich2020 🤞🏻🤞🏻

@NatJayne87 I get creamy cm every month, hopefully it is your month though ❤️

NatJayne87 · 20/06/2020 13:39

Oh no im symptom spotting! Im 6dpo and have cramping and lower back ache and dare i say it i feel like my puspus smells lol i did a sweep of my vagina and have creamy white CM. Why is it when TTC we notice every thing, when the chances are i probably always have this lol

Mich2020 · 20/06/2020 13:01

CD32 today. Still no sign of AF. Really felt strange last night. Thought I was going to throw up. Hot flushes and very tired. Slept with the fan on full on me all night. Woke up this morning feeling better. Boobs still sore and slight cramps but could be down to dtd this morning. Not going to test again until mon/Tuesday. Then I will be really really late. How's everyone doing? Xx

LAG1986 · 19/06/2020 23:28

Ladies, our day will come. I've stopped testing now. I found when I tested I came on straight after. Weird. Almost like I keep jinxing things. So I've not done this month. But now I'm on pain killers and antibiotics for dental pain. So not much hope. X

xx11xx · 19/06/2020 21:21

@BronzeSilverGold13

Sorry you are feeling the same way, the disappointment sucks doesn't it 💔

BronzeSilverGold13 · 19/06/2020 21:03

@xx11xx I'm the same as you multiple family members are pregnant and I've done 2 tests and had very faint lines and nothing now but AF hasn't arrived yet! If I'm not I don't know if I can keep doing this every month!

xx11xx · 19/06/2020 19:26

Also my three best friends and a family member are all pregnant, I'm happy for them but it's hard to not feel envious 😭

xx11xx · 19/06/2020 19:26

@2020mission That's how I feel, I had two faint positives at two different times and then nothing now :( it honestly makes me want to stop trying all together, I can deal with the rejection each month. Due AF on Sunday but confident it won't be my month.

I am lucky to have a beautiful little boy already but I can't face getting my hopes up to get let down.

Just feeling gloomy today 😢

Hopingtobelucky · 19/06/2020 19:11

@KatieFH I can see a very faint line on yours.
I did a first response today and think I can see a very very faint line but can't pick it up on a photo, maybe wishful thinking. Used my last FRER so going to nip out soon and buy some more for the morning x

@CaramelTart23 did you do ovulation tests this month? I've got some ready for next cycle so I can check if I'm actually ovulating and if so when it's happening because I feel something is off with the app estimations. I keep failing to conceive despite plenty of DTD for 2 weeks following AF finishing.
