AF every month 27th

When is the earliest you would test?
I'm definitely not imagining it but have more discharge than usual, stomach always rumbling even while eating. Gas, horrendous low back pain and cramps. Sorry if tmi.
I know alot is common AF signs....but you know how it is when you are hopeful.
Thanks x

Are you going to get hold of a FRER Sesame ? I’ve ordered a pack which will arrive on Monday so will force myself to wait until then. May do an IC in the meantime.

LJZRBB · 22/01/2021 13:16

@Sesamechick maybe wait until Sunday to do the FRER? You’ll be annoyed you’ve wasted the money if it’s negative?
Easily said though...

@Sesamechick I’m on CD 25. Period due Sunday or Monday.

MrsC89 · 22/01/2021 13:01

@LividLoving thank you. My tfmr was twins so from cd28 my lines were crazy dark so I had nothing to compare to if you get what I mean

@Sesamechick hmmm I did do a IC yesterday afternoon and I think I got a line. Although this was out of the time frame.

I stocked up on FRER last Saturday. They were 3 for 2 in boots. So 6 sticks for £20 🤢

LividLoving · 22/01/2021 12:24

@MrsC89 I am a very veteran ic-er of three IUIs, three IVFs, two mcs, two chemicals and a natural baby.

When I say a line is a line and they start with torch shining faintness, I mean it.

@CausingChaos2. 😊 thank you.. it’s suspiciously good🤔

What I would say ladies. Is the reason I suspected is by now in my cycle my boobs would be killing and my stomach aches would be bad. But this month nothing.

Just because you have no symptoms don’t assume your out ! 🤞

MrsC89 · 22/01/2021 12:16

@LividLoving really? With IC's holding them to the light? Is that a thing?
hold this mornings IC up to light

fairgame84 · 22/01/2021 12:14

I tested today at 11dpo. Not a whiff of a line.
I've been hormonal this month. Boobs sore all month, nausea all month and cramps all month. Not much ewcm as usual so I'm putting it all down to dodgy hormones and hopefully I'll be back to normal after AF. I've got the usually pre menstrual spots and grumpiness so expecting AF any day, sometimes I'm a day or 2 earlier or later than expected.
I've ordered opks ready for our next try.

CausingChaos2 · 22/01/2021 12:12

Thanks ladies, glad it isn’t my mind playing tricks on me.

Sesame AF is due on Tuesday. Are you going to test again tomorrow? I’ve got 4 IC tests left but going to try and resist. Keeping my fingers crossed for you too lovely ☺️

MrsC You’ve got to get your FRER off your DH! Yes the ICs can be a pain. Let us know how you get on if you manage to persuade DH 😀

LJZRBB Congratulations! That’s a great line so early!

LividLoving · 22/01/2021 12:11

9/10dpo with internet cheapies and don’t be afraid to shine a torch behind the strip.

This is only if you’re prepared to deal with the possibility of an early chemical.

LJZRBB · 22/01/2021 12:08

I got this this morning. 8/9 MAX days past ovulation.

IC are showing a proper squinter.

I am surprised it’s such a strong line so early! FRER are the best. I wouldn’t bother with anything else. Just shame they are so expensive.

I am very realistic this could end up a chemical. So I am tentatively excited 🤞

MrsC89 · 22/01/2021 11:58

@Sesamechick yes AF due 26th. I have a 30 day cycle and I'm here thinking to myself well today is CD 27 and the norm is 28 day cycle, going to try and use that as an excuse to DH and see if he reveals the location of the FRER's 🤣
I have a fullness in my lower abdomen, I assume that's near enough the uterus. Today I can't seem to go more than 2 hours without going for a pee. Nipples are sensitive. Feeling a little sicky.

@CausingChaos2 there is something on that top one in the photo of the 2. This is why I hate IC's but they seem to satisfy my POAS addiction

@CausingChaos2

I can definitely see something in the pic with 2 tests especially the top one! I totally agree with you that a negative is more upsetting than AF! When is AF due??
Fingers crossed for you!!! Its an emotionally draining journey xx

CausingChaos2 · 22/01/2021 11:44

I’ve been TTC for quite a while now and usually have a rule not to test as I find a neg test more upsetting than AF arriving. Broke my own rule and tested last month because it was my birthday, and broke my rule again today at 10dpo because I’ve been having weird burning sensations in my boobs! Not sure what that’s about.

First test had the tiniest shadow on it, so did a second with the same FMU and nothing. Going to try really hard to just wait until AF is due on 26th now, or at least a couple more days .

@MrsC89 glad you feeling better.
How are your other symptoms.
Im alright thanks for asking; have all these strange symptoms which I don't usually get but I'm trying to keep myself grounded. AF due Wrd 27th. You're the 26th right?
Still have horrendous back pain, not sleeping, had horrendous leg cramps last night. I'm also getting strange cramps. Not painful but feels more like pressure if that makes sense?!
The TWW anyways is such a horrible wait but now when AF is due in less than a week it's like im just desperate. I know im not going to be able to only test closer to AF. Probably be daily Confused

Did another IC this morning, I thought there was a faint line, but DH says it's because I'm looking for it. I woke up this morning dizzy and had to go back to bed for a while.
