Hey @MgW1 and @sunshineandshowers3 I'm glad im not the only one in the same boat but it just makes things super hard to track. Im CD31 today im edging towards this being one of my later cycle limits. I find it so hard to try and keep optimistic when I try to do everything right and it still doesn't work. Very frustrating. Hopefully we get answers soon. The spotting sounds promising @sunshineandshowers, do you normally get spotting? @MgW1 have you got any other symptoms? Im normally have super bad cramps in lead up to AF but i had them for like a few days early on after ovulation but now nothing! Xx

Hi @gracie2307 how are you doing? I'm having a bit of a down day today. I think it's probs just hormonal changes (I'm only 4/5dpo so too early for symptom spotting or AF), but I feel like I do usually just before AF arrives - jittery, anxious, heavy/low feeling. I don't know what's come over me but I've just lost all my hope and drive this morning! Probably just tired. I've got next week booked as 'holiday' so it'll be a nice break from work before the 'new' role starts. Plus I'll know by middle of the week if pregs or not so can enjoy some wine if I'm not. Really looking forward to the end of this current lockdown too! I realised I haven't seen any of my work colleagues or friends in the flesh for almost a YEAR! Blows my mind 🀯
How many DPO are you at the mo?

@sunshineandshowers3 mercury is in retrograde and that's supposed to bugger up communication so I'd blame that! πŸ˜‰ Really hoping you all get surprise BFPs!xx

@gracie2307 and @MgW1 Gosh we’re all going through the mill this month with strange cycles. Hope we get some (positive) answers soon ❀️.

I was due AF yesterday, but have had very light pink spotting on and off since last Wednesday. It has barely shown on my pants though, only when I wipe. I have a full on cold too, blocked nose and achey (not Covid as I have to test due to work).

What is going on?!? πŸ™ˆ

MgW1 · 16/02/2021 09:12

@gracie2307
I am going through a strange time too. Day 2 of being late. BFN yesterday , not testing again. My Af usually shows up full force when i get up on the day I am due on, i dont tend to get spotting xx

gracie2307 · 16/02/2021 08:40

Hope you ladies @BubsNumber2inTheMaking, @MgW1, @Dogmum13 and @sunshineandshowers3 are all good xx

gracie2307 · 16/02/2021 08:39

Hi ladies hope you are all good? AF was due yesterday for me. I did a FRER this morning and nothing. I usually get pre AF spotting but so far nout. I am either 12dpo/11dpo according to my apps (they are both conflicting about my O day thanks to BBT which is super confusing even though I timed BD to my LH test results). So yeah feeling crappy this morning I seriously thought I would see something on the test. My good friend had a baby yesterday so im a bag of mixed emotions this week. Dont know what to do really anymore xx

gracie2307 · 16/02/2021 08:35

Congrats @organised5 xx

Dogmum13 · 16/02/2021 00:23

Congratulations @organised5

MgW1 · 15/02/2021 16:59

@organised5
Done a FRER and neg so think thats pretty conclusive now , nothing worse than late AF and a BFN!!!! Xx

Xxdxx2020 · 15/02/2021 16:13

@organised5 congrats! Brilliant news!

I'm in the tww, at 5 or 6dpo. We bd when I just got a +ive opk, and my app said I'm due to ovulate the next day, but the day I was due to ovulate I had another +ive opk, and the day after that I had ovulation pains so I think I O'd a day later than predicted. We couldn't bd on those days because of stuff going on. So we bd 2 days before O, going off the pains I had.

Do you think the pains I had occurred the day after O and the app is right? Or do you think the pains was just when O was happening? It was a sharp pulling sensation on my right side.

Do you think I'm still in with a decent chance with just bd 2 days before O? I'm trying to feel optimistic but at the same time not getting my hopes up.

organised5 · 15/02/2021 15:28

@MgW1 no cramps at all. Do you think you'll test again?

@sunshineandshowers3 that is strange! Have you got different brands you could test with? I'm 33 and it's my second - my DS is 2 in a couple of weeks 😊

@Clapham4 HUGE shock. I had ruled myself out and spent 48 hours getting over the disappointment. I think I literally shouted WTF at the test.

@bubblegeek22 @PeanuttyButter @Litttlebird thank you xxx

Litttlebird · 15/02/2021 15:01

@organised5 You’ve given me some hope! I tested yesterday (when AF was due) on a CB digital and got a BFN. I’ve had light spotting on and off since last Wednesday though. AF still hasn’t arrived and I’m literally never late, only early/on time.

How old are you? Is this your first? Such lovely news to have on the thread πŸ₯°xx

PeanuttyButter · 15/02/2021 11:25

Congratulations @organised5 so exciting!

Clapham4 · 15/02/2021 11:15

@organised5 fab! yep you prob ovulated later so implanted later and that’s why it took so long to get a BFPπŸ’• you must be in utter shock πŸ˜‚ xx

MgW1 · 15/02/2021 10:51

@organised5
Have you had any cramps ? Iv had them on and off for a week , 1 day late today xx

bubblegeek22 · 15/02/2021 10:32

Congrats @organised5. What a rollercoaster for you!

organised5 · 15/02/2021 10:24

@MgW1 I had a BFN on Saturday with a Clear Blue digital. That was the day AF was due. Had a BFN on Thursday with a FRER so 2 days before due. I am so confused about the timings now but I must have ovulated late..

@Clapham4 I did have sore boobs for 3 days last week but no other symptoms. With my first I had an implantation bleed so I was looking out for that but didn't have anything. I'm so confused about my dates now.

@dunkedbiscuit @sunshineandshowers3 thank you xxx

I wish everyone could get BFPs too xxx

Clapham4 · 15/02/2021 09:56

Wow! Congrats @organised5 !! Did you have any symptoms or just late period?

@sunshineandshowers3 hope you’re feeling a bit better today. We’ve been TTC since July but been off the pill for a year before that. I was blissfully unaware of how TTC actually worked for a while πŸ™ˆ We did private testing last year, DH pretty much has super sperm (!!), I also have no issues and had lots of healthy follicles when they checked, so really not sure what the hold up is!! Luck of the draw I suppose! But frustrating! πŸ˜…

sunshineandshowers3 · 15/02/2021 09:13

@organised5 A massive congratulations!! Quite a strong line - that’s brilliant! ❀️πŸ₯°

dunkedbiscuit · 15/02/2021 09:02

Hurray! @organised5 that’s a very strong line! Congratulations lovely x

MgW1 · 15/02/2021 09:00

@organised5
Oh wow congratulations xxx
When did you last get BFN? What cycle day are you? Im a day late now xx

organised5 · 15/02/2021 08:30

Just found a First Response Rapid Result test. The one I bought by accident as it had the same packaging as a FRER.

I can't believe it. I must have ovulated late.

@organised5
