No AF and BFNs 🤷‍♀️

@HJen22 well I've been told folic acid doesn't affect the cycle but I was 4 days late for the first time in 4/5 years and I didn't take folic acid and AF arrived so I'm skeptical thinking maybe it's caused a delay. I started taking it again and will do for the next cycle, hopefully there isn't another AF and it's a BFP but I don't feel that lucky 🙄🤞🏼

@Aims1991 I'm sorry 😞 it's so rubbish every time! Everything crossed for next cycle! I have chopped and changed with folic acid, pregnacare, seven seas throughout my time TTC, have read things about changing cycle length too so never sure what's best to take x

@HJen22 unfortunately AF arrived and ruined this months hope🙄 move on to next cycle

@HT1335 I'm so sorry to hear that, i hope you are ok 🥰 I have been there many times with the meltdowns! I hope the doctor was helpful? When you first called this week did they just say call back it still no AF?

AF is due for me any day, I'm cranky as hell and been trying to lose the Xmas pounds, much to my disappointment only half a lb off today so added to my hacked off-ness!

@lastbany @Marvellouslymadmum @Aims1991 @ImpatientMama how are all you ladies doing? I so hope we get some BFPs soon 🤞🏻

Good luck I hope you all get the positive test! Or if AF shows on time at least you know either way!
I have tested this morn BFN had a major meltdown as now cd49 and I’ve rang the doctors again I’m at work and trying to hold it together but I’m very frustrated now and worried something is wrong 😑

So my AF day tonorow!! I do have the infamous spot on my chin I get before af but have to say that's only sign!! No cramps yet which is slightly odd!

@Aims1991 I completely get that, we have tried to stay relaxed about it too, there have been times when I've got really stressed with it but I'm trying haha once it gets to being so long you kind of stop stressing so much I think!
I've ordered some frer from Amazon which won't arrive until tomorrow so will test Saturday morning and if it's a negative I'll call docs on Monday I think

@HT1335 It's always easier said than done to be positive. But your not alone, I never see anything as positive! I'm always so negative and then if something good happens I'm happy or surprised so hopefully that happens.
Don't get disheartened, it'll happen 🤞🏼

I was really obsessive about it all at the start and as it’s not happened for so long I’m not as bothered now, like I do get stressed and sad as to why it’s not happened but I get so disheartened when I get a negative that I can’t get my hopes up now... but we should all think positive as sometimes it just takes time for good things to happen!

@Marvellouslymadmum I just don't want DTD feeling repetitive or constantly testing for OV rather than just relaxing and enjoying it all. We said we wouldn't start trying to next year then my partner decided in November he would be ok with starting early and I feel I should just relax and it'll happen. Who knows, but I know it's not just me who's like this 🙈 glad there's other to talk to about it

@Aims1991 don't be hard on yourself, we all get obsessed with it and symptom spot and test like a woman possessed when we know we shouldn't lol

@HT1335 hope you get some answers too! I'm pretty sure I'll probably get a negative too but there's a glimmer of hope haha

I had been taking folic acid and this was the first month. I've stopped taking it today incase that's what caused AF delay, I've been told it doesn't but who knows🤷🏻‍♀️ and now I have some spotting so I wonder if I was right and it delayed AF. So I won't be taking it again 🙄 I feel I need to stop being as obsessed with it all and maybe it'll happen🤞🏼

Good luck to you all!
I’m on cd48! No sign of AF and haven’t tested since last week as I know it will be negative so I try and avoid testing
I’ve been asked to ring the surgery next week so I’ll do that and probs do another test at the wkend

@Marvellouslymadmum yeah my fingers and toes are crossed. Hope it happens for you too soon

Hi @Aims1991 oh I've been tempted but payday is today so that's what's stopped me and I drink a lot of water so best to rest with fmu. I've been ttc for almost 3 years now and had a mc 2.5 years ago so I've kind of stopped myself testing too soon (most of the time) haha 🤞🏻 for you

@Marvellouslymadmum I don't know how you can't be tempered to test today, I'm 4 days late and I tested 2 days ago and trying my hardest to wait another few. I've had some sharp pains in my side today and a tiny bit of spotting. Not sure if AF is on way but I'm never late and never have any spotting so who knows🤷🏻‍♀️

Afternoon all, how are we doing?

I'm
Currently CD44 15 days late, haven't tested for the last 8 days so planning on getting some tests and doing so today or tomorrow morning! 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻

@HJen22 thanks me too! I've got sharp pains in my right side this morning. So I ordered first response tests that'll arrive this morning and I will try wait until the weekend before I take one

@Aims1991 I'm sorry you're having a longer than normal cycle with BFNs, we've all been there and it's so hard. I hope that it turns into a BFP for you 🤞🏻

@HT1335 that's good to know your partner found it ok too! I might look into it next month. Or just do BBT and OPKs x

@HT1335 thanks! I started folic acid and wondering if that's what's caused the delay. But the cramps in my stomach are sore and occur quite often. I also had bleeding gums and headaches.

@lastbany hope you feel better soon!
@HJen22 it was ok using it, I thought it would be off putting for my partner but it wasn’t he said it felt ok... so 🤞🏻 Although who knows if I’m ovulating or what’s happening as now cd47! But I will re focus tomorrow hopefully and speak to the gp. I would recommend the conceive plus I mean I don’t know if it’s worked but it felt ok and was easy to use...
@Aims1991 good luck we’ve all been in that position it’s just a waiting game of the unknown isn’t it.

Hey, I'm 4 days late for AF and my cycle is always early or on time. I've tried 2 normal clearblue tests and a digital and all just a BFN! Getting anxious 😫

@lastbany oh that sound awful, I really hope you start to feel better soon! Try and get plenty rest!

@HT1335 aw you sound very busy! Remember to look after yourself too, as your other half will have said! I hope your poorly family members are all ok! Ah you went with conceive plus, how did you get on with it? I did read up a little about it but haven't bought it x

Hi all well it seems to hit me worse than everyone else! Typical I do have asthma thou! Nobody else developed a cough but I seem to have it in my chest!! But I don't feel as bad as I imagine others do!! Trying to hold on the exhaustion is real!

@lastbany hope you feel ok and try not to worry.
@HJen22
So I haven’t rang the doctors I’ve been so busy running about after poorly family members doing shopping and fitting in work etc by the time I’ve thought about it it’s been too late. We did dtd with the conceive plus tho as we thought well while there’s no AF we may aswell continue trying. I do plan on calling tmorow I’m at work and will try and prioritise squeezing it in. This is me I put everyone else’s needs before myself and I’ve been told off by the other half! 🙈 good luck to you for this month!
It’s such a waiting game for us all x
