New Cycle starting 13/01/21

Just wondering if anyone wants to join me for a new cycle starting yesterday (or thereabouts)? AF reared her ugly head yesterday so it's new cycle time. This will be my 3rd cycle after a MMC in October last year. Let's support each other through this!

Well my holding off til mid week didn’t last 😂 tried FRER again and I’m sure I see a vvvvv faint line... maybe just an indent but going to try with FMU tomorrow I think (if I can sleep!!) x

KeepSmiling89 · 07/02/2021 19:58

@thislittlebird AF due in 5 days according to Flo app, so Friday. Will test then.

@mollyaimee I see something there! Test again in a couple of days and fingers crossed for you.

I got my BFP at 12dpo last time I was pregnant (ended in MMC...sorry if I've already mentioned that!) So there's still time for them to show and, as always, it ain't over until AF arrives.

I definitely think you’ll get a line on an FRER! 😬

Ah thanks! Going to try super hard to hold off til mid week now! X

mollyaimee · 07/02/2021 13:24

@Amz6219 I’m not totally convinced it will be there tomorrow still so I’ll keep you updated! I thought I saw something at 10DPO last cycle but it turned out to be nothing... I think they’re 10mIU but I am tempted to try a FRER tomorrow morning, but only have one left so don’t want to waste it!! You’re defo not out yet at all, I literally said the same thing yesterday (although I could still be out!) fingers crossed for you!!

Amz6219 · 07/02/2021 13:19

Definitely something there! That at 8dpo has made me even more depressed 😩😆 they’re 20mIU I think aren’t they... FRER is super sensitive (6mIU) and it was whiter than white!

I know it’s early but definitely not holding out much hope! X

mollyaimee · 07/02/2021 13:14

@Amz6219 I’m exactly the same as you in terms of testing, told myself I wouldn’t test until at least 10DPO! I’m glad someone else can see something and I’m not going crazy?! It’s definitely easier to see in person... I probs should wait a couple of days now but I know I’ll definitely test in the morning again, fingers crossed it’s still there! Definitely not getting any hopes up yet!! I have to say though, mine was super super white and stark negative yesterday, so there’s always hope!!!

Amz6219 · 07/02/2021 13:06

I think I see a line @mollyaimee!!

Amz6219 · 07/02/2021 13:05

‘I will not test again until at least 11dpo’ lasted all of 24 hours 🙈 tried FRER today at 8dpo and it couldn’t be whiter! Why do we do this to ourselves?? X

mollyaimee · 07/02/2021 12:15

Okay, so I realize that I’ve already posted a test image here this cycle but I got my dates really wrong, so no wonder it was negative!! Although, can please someone confirm if I have line eyes again? I am actually 8DPO this time so I was going to start testing today anyway... it’s the invert image that I feel like I can see something on?

When is AF due for you? @KeepSmiling89

My temp dropped again, below the cover line, so I assume the witch is on her way today. My temp still doesn’t usually drop this early but I’ve not temped enough in the past to know if it does it on occasion.

KeepSmiling89 · 07/02/2021 10:17

Oh the temptation to test can just be too much to handle. I'm holding off til next Friday.
Told DH I was trying not to get my hopes up too much and he admitted that he had his hopes up a bit so fingers crossed anyway!

Also looked up the SME (sperms meets egg) plan recently so might try that next cycle if we're unsuccessful this time. Anyone else tried or planning to try this?

thislittlebird · 06/02/2021 23:18

Yeah, I’m due Wednesday so this would be a 26 day cycle which is a bit short for me. I checked back through my apps the last few years and I do very occasionally have 25/26 day cycles so although it’s pretty uncommon it has happened a few times. My expectations are through the floor but my fingers are crossed too 🤞 and I will kindly accept those positive thoughts 🧡

Amz6219 · 06/02/2021 22:52

🤞 temp goes back up. Early for her to come though? I’ll think positive thoughts for you ❤️ X

thislittlebird · 06/02/2021 22:27

I thought about that for a while @Amz6219 (as you do, because my brain hates me) and it was very weird. Just two tiny specks when I went for a wee. But then the symptoms for the rest of the day reminded me so much of December that it felt like maybe AF was coming early? Either way, it’s been so bloody long trying that it feels like AF is the only likely outcome. Will see how the temp goes in the morning, because if it drops then she’s on her way Hmm

Amz6219 · 06/02/2021 22:17

Fingers crossed for everyone! Could be implantation at 8dpo @thislittlebird?? Especially with temp dip? 🤔 x

thislittlebird · 06/02/2021 22:12

Hi @KeepSmiling89! Everything is bloody AF or preggers, and I hate that for all of us lmao. I’m 8dpo and I was fine until today, and now it’s driving me nuts. I checked my diary and I got the symptoms I have today a day before AF in December...except I’m not due for a few more days so either it’s coming early (my temp did drop this morning) or it’s fucking with me. The only weird thing was today I had a couple of tiny spots of blood and that’s not like me. But my periods have been much lighter and kinda whacky the last few months so you never know, maybe that was warning of cd1 being nigh.

@2020mission it certainly doesn’t feel like it will happen after this long, it really sucks. Enjoy the chocolate and wine!

Amz6219 · 06/02/2021 22:11

Same! 7dpo too, tingly boobs and tender boobs but I always get sore boobs... they’re like how I imagine men getting kicked in the balls would feel like!! 🙈

Tested today because I’ve got tons of cheap ones... BFN of course! No willpower at all 😆 x

mollyaimee · 06/02/2021 21:47

@2020mission sorry to hear that, fingers crossed this year is your year! @KeepSmiling89 I’m the same as you, 7DPO today and felt the need to test today knowing full well it would negative! Why do we do it to ourselves? Will try and hold off now until 10DPO. If you don’t usually get that symptom, that could be promising but I feel like these new PMS symptoms spring upon us all the time just to keep us on our toes! I feel weirdly normal this month, as in last month I had horrible cramps a week before my period, but this month I don’t seem to have any... feeling like I’m counting myself out already tbh!

2020mission · 06/02/2021 18:40

Hey fingers crossed for you @KeepSmiling89 🤞 AF arrived for me today so currently feeling sorry for myself and working through some chocolate and wine 😆 honestly that's been about 14 cycles now so I'm definitely losing hope! Hopefully some good news will be posted here soon. Keep us updated

KeepSmiling89 · 06/02/2021 18:26

Hi everyone! Where are we all in this cycle? I'm currently 7dpo. My left breast has had a feeling of pins and needles today and yesterday. Not all day but now and again. Trying not to get my hopes up but could this be early signs/symptoms? Is this what breast tenderness feels like?
I did my usual and googled it, but, yet again, it could be a sign of pregnancy or AF on its way. TYPICAL!

OP posts:
KeepSmiling89 · 04/02/2021 15:42

@2020mission aww sorry to hear that. I usually get that for a day or 2 before AF as well. I'm not due for another 8 days yet so still playing the waiting game. Just glad I've got work to keep me busy...although I'm constantly distracted with TTC etc instead of doing work!

OP posts:
2020mission · 04/02/2021 13:44

Ladies think I'm out this cycle I've been spotting today and that's a pre AF sign for me. I always spot for a few days before AF.
The only time I didn't was the months I got BFP (chemicals). Hopefully some of you lot can share some good news soon though!

Anyone testing soon?

KeepSmiling89 · 03/02/2021 15:04

@thislittlebird I really have no idea if I had an early peak or not as I tried out the premom app and it said my tests were 'low'. Suppose I'm just hoping and praying now. Think I'm currently 4dpo.

Never done temping and not doing it just now. Will just wait and see what happens. Might try a sneaky OPK just now...Will probably be negative but hey ho. Who knows!

OP posts:
thislittlebird · 02/02/2021 18:27

Haha yesss no need to subject my thermometer to that @2020mission. Had planned to dtd every other day this month but my husband was ill at the start of my cycle so we’ll try that this upcoming month instead.

I’ve got used to it now but it involves more wriggling around at 7am and annoying my husband lol

2020mission · 02/02/2021 18:24

@thislittlebird That explains the lack of AF temperatures then 😆 I was thinking about switching to that method for more accuracy. I'll see how the next cycle goes first I think as it's easier to go under the tongue haha
