AF every month 27th
Last AF December 27th
positive ovulation test Jan 15th. DTD 14th & 15th. AF due Jan 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

@Emerald4512
Nothing!
Due AF yesterday. All tests BFN. Feeling really shi**y to be honest. Dont want to get too excited just to be disappointed. Going to do a cheap one in morning!

So frustrating.

I'm 13dpo ( got 1 positive ovulation test on the 15th) and all tests BFN.

@Sesamechick to he honest I feel absolutely fine, so I imagine AF is lurking and will appear just late to mess with my head

Tryingandhoping2020 · 27/01/2021 12:32

@Sesamechick yeah I only came off the pill in September so I think my cycles are still a little odd, always within a few days either side though so hopefully by next week I should have an answer.

Yes I totally understand what you mean about symptom spotting! Almost feels like acknowledging possible symptoms is jinxing it or something haha xxx

@Tryingandhoping2020
How frustrating for you not knowing when AF is due!
The waiting game is the worst but it's really the best option for us otherwise we drive ourselves mad (I'm one to speak!)
I always feel weird saying my symptoms bc if I were to get AF today then I feel like a complete idiot amd the disappointment is worse, do you know what I mean?
It's also little changes that I have noticed within myself but I'm afraid to get 'excited' about them. Will waitt and see....
Hugs and fingers crossed for you xxxx

@Sesamechick not entirely sure as my periods are slightly irregular but I’m expecting it any time now. 2 weeks from ovulation would be Friday 🤷🏼‍♀️ I’m on CD33. Nothing to do but wait and see I guess.

Got my fingers crossed for you too, it’s not over till AF shows up! I know it’s so easy to get down about it, I have been a rollercoaster of emotions this week. Sending hugs xx

[quote Tryingandhoping2020]@Sesamechick So... still getting a tiny bit of brown spotting, hasn’t turned into proper AF yet. Am I silly for hoping it might be implantation bleeding? Do you think I have a chance of a positive if I test tomorrow? (11dpo today, spotting started at 10dpo, last test bfn at 9DPO)

Hi @TerrifiedOfTrying4No2 Grin[/quote]
@Tryingandhoping2020

Remind me please when your AF due?
I've been driving myselt crazy with symptom spotting and convincing myself that a faint positive will show up just like it seems to majority of others on Mumsnet...but it hasn't. It's really gotten me down and today my AF is due but going to wait till tomorrow to test if AF not here today.i dont think its silly if you to think its IB. It does sound like it!! Fingers crossed for you xx

@MrsC89

How are you feeling? Do you think youll test today?
No need to apologise, I too signed off for a bit. Was so down and had so many thoughts running through my head. My AF is due today but nothing yet. Feel good lovely xx

MrsC89 · 27/01/2021 11:34

Morning, still no AF for me, was due yesterday. Sorry I haven't been on here the past few days, took a step back after the bfn on the FRER on Sunday.

TerrifiedOfTrying4No2 · 27/01/2021 10:34

I tested 8 days before my period was due and got a very clear line.

Trying(ish) for our second now and I’m taking my ovulation tracking app with a pinch of salt and may test early again 😂

Ahh I'm so sorry ladies...fingers crossed for you both next month xx

Oh no @MaltyJones92 Sad snap, I have just started spotting too so guessing that’s it for this month for me too

MaltyJones92 · 26/01/2021 16:08

@Tryingandhoping2020 @Sesamechick Well looks like I'm out this month ladies! AF appears to have made an appearance. I am a bit surprised as I've never had faint positives before but after looking online it does seem to happen more often than I thought. Fingers crossed for next month 🤞🏻

Tryingandhoping2020 · 26/01/2021 09:26

@MaltyJones92 keep us updated on your FRER! Fingers crossed for you!

MaltyJones92 · 26/01/2021 08:36

@Sesamechick Ah sorry lovely, that's annoying - although you're not out until AF arrives, but if she does then there's only four weeks to wait and it could be a completely different story 🤞🏻

I also tested at 5am this morning! How funny 🤣 I did it with a Tesco one and again, I swear I see a faint line but it is REALLY faint. Could be another evap. I think I'm going to have to head down to town today and buy some FRER ones from Superdrug. Although I am so convinced I'm going to start AF that I've even put a pantyliner in (tmi, sorry).

@Tryingandhoping2020 I'm going to try and hold off until tomorrow but it's SO HARD. I never realised I would get this obsessive!

@Emerald4512 the Tesco ones apparently have a really really low sensitivity which is why I'm going to get some more FRER ones today just in case.

Emerald4512 · 26/01/2021 08:23

Also tested this morning, using a TESCO test, and it was negative. Just got to wait and see if AF arrives on Thursday now I guess!

Tryingandhoping2020 · 26/01/2021 08:04

@Sesamechick I’m 10dpo today. Going to try holding off testing again till 12DPO.

Sorry about your BFN Sad there’s still a possibility AF might not arrive! If not, onwards and upwards to next month x
