@Arrierttyclock @ottie27 I came off the pill in the middle of January with a WB beginning of Feb. I think my fitness app is sick of me changing my AF dates šŸ˜‚ they automatically predicted 28 day cycles. My last cycle was 23days so I'm expecting this one to be the same too, my app currently says 6th March (as a 28dayer) but I ovulated on the 13th so the 27th would be right for me I think!

ottie27 · 22/02/2021 12:47

@Arrierttyclock ah it sounds like you’re on exactly the same schedule as me! First month off pill and ovulation on the same day too! Fingers crossed for us both. I’m also sceptical of the AF date on my app but I guess it’s bound to be a bit off the first month off the pill as it just assumes we’re on a 28 day cycle.

Ahh @Arrierttyclock my flashing smiley buddy šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚ i don't know which is worse, waiting for the static smiley or being in the tww! I'm telling myself I'll wait til Friday to test but I'll absolutely test before then, convincing no one! I'm also crying lots and I literally haven't cried in over a year. Cramps have settled today so far. Keeping everything crossed for us both

Arrierttyclock · 22/02/2021 12:10

So still time xx

Arrierttyclock · 22/02/2021 12:10

For all those getting BFN it's not too late until AF Comes. Some people don't get BFP till 14 DPO

Arrierttyclock · 22/02/2021 12:09

Hey ladies can I join please? First cycle TTC. Came off the pill and had WB 26th jan, had peak ovulation 14th Feb. 8 DPO and I feel so sick atm. Crying at everything. I normally have really bad period pains and haven't got tbem yet. Already POAS loads šŸ˜‚ got 2 FRER coming and got some CB. Think I'm gunna test with the FRER on Wednesday. According to my FLO app I'm due on my period tomorrow but don't think that's right as I ovulated so late. I did drink alcohol on the weekend so feel like I've killed my chances of this month! Driving myself crazy waiting šŸ˜‚

@ottie27

How’s everyone doing today? I caved and did a test this morning at 8 dpo - obviously too early but was still disappointed by BFN. Has anyone else given in and tested this early?!

I’ve noticed that I’ve got some raised bumps on the area around my nipples last night and this morning. Could this be a sign of something or am I over thinking it? No other signs other than being quite emotional today, but I think that’s tiredness as both DP and I slept really badly last night!

Hey @ottie27 i did a test today too! BFN of course so doubt i'm pregnant.

I've had the bumps too and was wondering if this was normal? Never noticed them before

How are you doing? In feeling so dissapointed today tbh

[quote Alice4563]@mumtoone2019 I'm not 100% sure when AF is due as I'm on cycle 2 after a 10wk miscarriage which has made my cycles a bit more unpredictable! I got a positive OPK last Monday though so think I ovulated on the Tuesday. I'm going to test on Thursday which will be 9DPO (sure I'll cave before then though Grin)

When is your AF due / how many DPO are you? I feel like I'm going a bit crazy already, struggling to think of much else![/quote]
Sorry to hear about your mc! I'm due AF On Thursday. Caved and done 2 tests now one on Saturday and one today. Both BFN. Symptoms still there and boobs are getting more tender, especially today

I took the clearblue ultra early so doubt im pregnant Sad

@Alice4563

@WrongendoftheSTIX

I haven't bought any IC this month as I KNOW I will use them. I didn't get a BFP until 16dpo with DC1. 8dpo is very early so you're not out yet. My temp is dropping so I'm guessing it's a no go this month but had low hopes. Took 3 years with DC unlikely to be one month this time!
Fingers crossed for youšŸ¤žšŸ» this is our 6th cycle ttc #2. Mad to think that we ended up pregnant with number 1 whilst i was on the pill and now we're trying it seems to be taking forever.

How are you doing? Are you managing to hold off from testing? It's so difficult!

mumtoone2019 · 21/02/2021 13:06

[quote Bee44]@mumtoone2019 my Amazon IC's came last night so I did one too, BFN of course as my AF isn't due for another week so I'm not concerned (just wanted to see how the strip tests worked mainly). There's still plenty of time left for you to get your BFP this cycle! Remember, you're not out until AF arrives šŸ¤žšŸ»[/quote]
Thank you so much! I needed to hear that today! Fingers crossed for you too. Have you had any symptoms? X

Bee44 · 20/02/2021 19:04

@ACMJ angry šŸ˜‚ what a random symptom! I've been hungrier today and I'm currently chewing a Rennie's too for heartburn - I've not eaten anything in particular to set that off either but maybe it's related to the hunger thing. I think I'm picking out things that are happening and thinking hmmm maybe that's a sign! It probably isn't and I'm making myself question every little thing. I've even been prodding my boobs to see if they're sensitive, OH is sick of seeing them šŸ˜‚

ACMJ · 20/02/2021 18:54

@Bee44 oh and I’ve been SO angry šŸ˜‚

ACMJ · 20/02/2021 18:49

@Bee44 That’s good! It’s always nice to not have cramps haha. Erm a few, same as you really tired, either feeling really hungry or a bit nauseous and not wanting to eat. Also my lower back really hurts! I never know if it’s all in my head or not šŸ˜‚ what about you?

The last week is always the hardest! I’m 4 days away now from the dreaded AF

Bee44 · 20/02/2021 18:10

@ACMJ my cramps seem to have disappeared today or less noticeable anyway. I'm super tired though, like barely able to keep my eyes open tired. AF is due a week today so I'm going to be symptom spotting for that this week I think! Have you got any other symptoms other than feeling unwell?

ACMJ · 20/02/2021 17:45

@Bee44 I am the same! No one has had the same symptom as me either so it is good to hear someone else has! Today I am 9dpo and have had the cramps on and off. Started to feel a bit unwell today as well like I was coming down with something...how are you today?

ottie27 · 20/02/2021 11:15

I did exactly the same - obviously way too early but used one of the cheap tests this morning too ā€œfor practiceā€. Obviously BFN but wasn’t really expecting anything else at this stage!

Bee44 · 20/02/2021 10:50

mumtoone2019 · 20/02/2021 08:45

[quote WrongendoftheSTIX]@mumtoone2019 that looks positive. Just little pink spots on wiping.
@Bee44 we're due on the same day.
I'm holding out little hope as we've fertilty issues but as this would be DC#2, we cannot have help on the NHS. We haven't prevented for years and years but haven't 'tried'. It took us 3 years of TTC to conceive DC1 with OPKs and BBT etc
Here for a focussed, low expectations last ditch attempt at DC2.[/quote]
I really hope so! Thanks for your feedback on it! I got a BFN today so feeling quite down x

@Small1607

Hey everyone I'm 7dpo today and already did an IC earlier šŸ¤£šŸ˜… BFN of course! Been trying for 1 year+ and nothing so far. This was second month of using opks, last month was a long period within a 68 day cycle and no ovulation so was shocked when I got peak opk on days 10 and 12! šŸ¤ž for everyone! Ill probably test again Sunday
Sorry to hear of your BFN. I got one this morning too. Fingers crossed we all get our BFP Soon x

@Bee44

Me! AF is due on the 27th, had some weird brown spotting on the 13th (which I'm guessing was an ovulation bleed) and symptom spotting every single second since šŸ˜‚. I've had cramps since a few days after the spotting but nothing else, however I don't usually get cramping until the day before AF arrives so we'll see!
Fingers crossed for youšŸ¤žšŸ» i caved and took an early teat this morning and got a BFNSad 5 days before expected AF.
