Sooo...
I’ve had a few signs that I’m possibly pregnant

  1. Cramping for a couple weeks way before I’m due
  2. Overly emotional (more than usual)
  3. Coffee tastes.... odd
  4. Ready salted crisps craving... I’m not a crisp person
  5. Nausea (without being sick most of the time)
  6. Bloated/Gassy

I’ve taken a test but it’s negative, so I’m wondering if anyone else has gotten a BFP despite BFN readings. Am due for period either today or up till Sunday (cycle varies some months).
TIA x

We're pretty much aligned with our cycles. I've been using my app as a guide but then also monitoring my CM and BBT as a hint to do OPKS (just the ICs but they have worked ok so far). So when I see my CM changing and I get EWCM I start testing plus I usually get a little dip in my temp so altogether I usually get a good idea of when to DTD.
Shall we keep each other updated when we ovulate and during TWW?
How do you find the Clearblue ov kit, is it good? I've not tried it before.

@SarahMumof1DS my app says my next AF due around 25th (maybe day before or after). I’ve been using Clearblue digital ovulation to see when my fertile days are (usually start from CD7) as I found with apps they’re off by a week or so, so when I was trying before it was too late. I’ve got another cycle worth of tests left but at least I know roughly when Is best to try.

@KatieLooLa we're pretty much the same with our cycles and number of attempts. Do you know your next period due date? My app says 26th September and has predicted my next ovulation on CD15.

@SarahMumof1DS lost track of which cycle it is for me now, my partner and I skipped a couple cycles TTC because of various reasons, so this is probably 4th time of properly trying

@passthegin1234

Try a FRER and good luck!
I had a FRER but was getting BFNS with my ICs so I thought I'd wait at least till AF due to use it and glad I did as it would have been a waste of money. Woke up early Saturday morning to AFConfused

@Natureotter have you had any luck?

SarahMumof1DS · 31/08/2020 03:15

I'm sorry to read that @KatieLooLa, same here AF arrived bang on time Saturday too! I got spotting 2 days before thinking it could be implantation but sadly not. Then my BBT plummeted and it was pretty much game over. Last 3 cycles before that I've been getting spotting 4 days before AF which isn't usual for me so keep wondering if implantation is trying to happen but then fails?

Sorry I would have replied sooner but my mum went into hospital Friday night so was a little distracted. So frustrating isn't it though. Onto cycle 5 for me. What cycle day are you going on to?

Update:
AF is here, I was hoping it was just implantation bleed but unfortunately no. Try and try again I guess!

@Natureotter
Did test today with FMU and still negative, my last cycle was 26 days but last 2 before were 27 days so not sure when AF is going to come (hopefully not for a few months!)
My cramps started 2 weeks ago and been almost every day since. A friend said she didn’t get her BFP till 2 weeks after AF was due.
Good luck!

@KatieLooLa amazon prime?

Natureotter · 28/08/2020 16:46

I’m the same, due af today.
I did tests at 9dpo and 10dpo and negative, wasn’t morning urine though....I’m hoping there is still time to get a bfp.
My bbt is higher than normal in the 37 range, normally in 36 range. I’ve been exhausted, sore boobs and cramps but all those things I experience with Af too mostly.
I kept checking my pants in the looks at work today paranoid and on my mind constantly.
My cycles are normally 23 days! And today I’m on cd27!

Unfortunately the local chemists don’t stock the FRER tests :(

Hi @KatieLooLa,
Can I jump on your thread please? I'm kind of in the same boat as you.
