I mean I’m hoping AF stays away completely and we get bfps! We had a chemical last month but I’m feeling anxious and slightly more positive this time. So fingers crossed. Who else is in this boat?
Will probably poas at around 11dpo...

Ah I'm pretty sure I didn't ovulate, I think maybe the period I had after having my implant taken out wasn't a "real" one. So i reckon I'm in for a bit of a waiting game to see if I actually have a cycle or if I'm going to be hit by perimenopause (which I didn't even know was a thing) or if I'm unlucky enough to have secondary infertility. 🤷🏼‍♀️

Well done to those getting their BFP!
Good luck to those on their 2ww.

The wait is rubbish! I'm 7dpo, have really sensitive nipples 😠 and lots of discharge, would be very lucky to fall pregnant first cycle but fingers crossed!

@Waitingforbabypage Sorry to hear that! Perhaps you ovulated later?

🤞🏼 Really hoping my little bean is sticking x

When your period is so late that even my tracker has given up 🙄 still bfn. Rubbish!!! C'mon body, don't let me down.

Waitingforbabypage · 07/09/2020 09:21

@HeyDW96 it's all new to me too, not a clue where to start if we go down the opk route. So far we've just roughly worked out when I ovulate and go from there.
I managed to mess up my maths, forgot I used to have longer cycles so when I did a test and got a bfn, it was too early, so now I still have 4 more days until af arrives, still having sore boobs, had cramps but that's gone now, my jeans hurt when I bend over, my tummy feels bloated and I'm peeing loads.
But I don't know if that's just normal pre af symptoms or early pregnancy. 🤷🏼‍♀️ nasty trick for nature to give us the same feelings for both really.

Waitingforbabypage · 07/09/2020 09:16

Ah @Littlebee1990 congrats!!!

Shell4860 · 07/09/2020 07:10

@Littlebee1990 I see a clear line! 😁

Littlebee1990 · 07/09/2020 06:38

I caved and tested at 10DPO, can’t get excited as it’s so early and I’m so scared the same thing will happen again. I’ll test again in a few days and update you all 🤞🏼❤️

@Waitingforbabypage I've just started having a lot of ewcm today, I think that's what it is anyway. To start with was very jelly, blobby like. Now tonight I can stretch it like egg white. Had a negative OPK though! I'm so new to all this 🤦🏼‍♀️😂

Waitingforbabypage · 06/09/2020 19:05

How are we all doing?

Shell4860 · 05/09/2020 21:58

@HeyDW96 it's crazy how you suddenly start noticing everything that may or may not have been there before but every little twinge in your body you think it's a symptom

HeyDW96 · 05/09/2020 21:17

@ShellMc2237 I've had that and bleeding gums! Strange. Don't even know if the gum thing has anything to do with it or if I'm just observing two completely unrelated things happening 🤣

Shell4860 · 05/09/2020 20:14

@HeyDW96 I've had a ton of weird symptoms, cramps, acne, horrendous mood swings, and for the first few months got really sore nipples a week before AF but now breasts go absolutely massive, veiny and sore but it's annoying as every month there's something different

HeyDW96 · 05/09/2020 19:03

Out of interest I was wondering if anyone had weird symptoms coming off the pill? I've had ready tender breasts, sometimes when I lie down I feel like they're icey and just sensitive in general! I just looked in the mirror and my areola look friggin huge 🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️

RobinRose · 05/09/2020 18:04

@ShellMc2237 I know what you mean about convincing yourself every month, I haven't had the chance to test because af always arrives on time or early. I have af cramps at the moment so I know it will arrive in a couple of days but still trying to convince myself 🤦🏼‍♀️(stupid I know) I also find when af does arrive it is a bit of relief and then start thinking next month will be our month but clearly not. been ttc since October. It is hard!

ShellMc2237 · 05/09/2020 07:58

Bfn for me this morning so I'm definitely out.
Does anyone else get massively mixed emotions? I spend the TWW convincing myself that it will be a bfp every time, but then when it's a bfn I'm disappointed when I don't see a second line on the frer, but then when I know it's definitely bfn I'm a little bit relieved and then I go back to convincing myself that next month will be the month. It's hard for me sometimes as hubby desperately wants children and always has done, and I've been the one putting it off, so every month you can tell he's upset about it being bfn since I came off the pill in December

chillyfields · 05/09/2020 05:58

Oh I'm so sorry @Monday55, glad you can have a glass though. And bring on next month!

I just caved (of course I did) and did an IC. Negative of course. Will wait a few more days and do another but I'm also not feeling positive about this cycle 😔

ShellMc2237 · 04/09/2020 21:13

@Monday55 sorry to hear that, but like you said 3 days earlier for a new cycle, have a wine for me, we've ran out here!

Monday55 · 04/09/2020 19:55

Thanks ladies for the well wishes but I'm out 😔 AF just arrived tonight. The only positive thing is I get to start a new cycle 3days early and I get to drink some wine this weekend.

Hoping you all get your BFPs I'll be here rooting for you Grin

Waitingforbabypage · 04/09/2020 16:34

I couldn't wait, it was a very stark white bfn.

However, tiny glimmer of hope is that i completely forgot my cycles always used to be 31 days not a "standard" 28, so there's still a small chance. I haven't tracked af for a good 7 years so I have no idea what's happening these days.
As I've said somewhere else on here, OH and I have a very healthy sex life and dtd every other day anyway, so there is always that slight chance that even with the shift in ovulation/fertility window, we could have caught it at the right time.
We're not out until the fat lady sings.
Still clinging on to stay positive or I'll cry. X

chillyfields · 04/09/2020 16:11

@ShellMc2237 Stay hopeful as it could be implantation bleeding if it's really light and disappears after a day or two. Keeping fingers crossed for you 🤞

ShellMc2237 · 04/09/2020 16:00

@Waitingforbabypage do it tomorrow am then let us know! Fingers crossed for you 🤞🏻

@chillyfields I'm 12 dpo today. AF is meant to be due Tuesday but I've had some spotting today which is making me think I'm out for this month. Really want some bfp's on this thread!

chillyfields · 04/09/2020 14:23

@ShellMc2237 it's awful isn't it? How many DPO are you now?

@Waitingforbabypage definitely wait until first morning urine if poss I'd say, mainly because those FRERs are so bleeding expensive!

Waitingforbabypage · 04/09/2020 12:51

I bought frer. Now I'm too scared to pee.
Shall I wait for tomorrow? Af due in 2 days but been having those lovely signs that could be for both pregnancy and af. 🤷🏼‍♀️

ShellMc2237 · 04/09/2020 12:34

Hi @chillyfields I'm the same as you, every month I say I'm just going to wait and see what happens but I always end up convincing myself and testing early and it being bfn
