June - 8DPO - Anyone with me?

I caved too this morning and took a test.14DPO and a bfn. Feeling a bit nauseous today, but could be the heat or AF on the way. I'm so irregular that AF could be due tomorrow, Friday, Saturday or next week! I'm 40 and this is the first ttc ever so I'm new to it all. I know it's only month 3 ttc, but I didn't realise how stressful it would be or how desperate I'd become!

@pinkypink24 hey lovely thank you, but unfortunately I think clear blues might of been indents as I caved this morning and took a FR which is negative this morning, Feeling deflated. So frustrating. 😫

Don’t worry too much lovely takes a while for cycles to regulate after coming off contraception, I had vaccine back in April and had two cycles regular as clock work, this cycle on other hand is a week later meaning a 36 day cycle when I’ve always been 31 days so who knows what’s going on.

@Pasha82 I've ordered pre seed & vitamins too!

@Skincareaddict Get AF out of the way then onto the next cycle of trying 🙌🏻

@LeeTTCRainbow wowsers I'm loving the pic you posted... all fingers & toes crossed for you this Friday my lovely 🥰 xx

Still no sign of AF here, I'm now 31 days since last AF but I guess I haven't been tracking long enough to know if this cycle irregularity is a regular occurrence for me 🤷‍♀️

Have any of you had the Covid jab ( pfiezer I had ) & noticed that it knocked your cycle off balance?

@Pasha82 yeah very, have no pms cramps or spotting to suggest it’s on its way, so here’s hoping I just implanted later and BFP next week 🤞🤞

@LeeTTCRainbow that's really frustrating. Like you say, you are not out until AF. Fingers crossed for tomorrow.

@Skincareaddict sorry about AF arriving. I totally feel your pain. I'm CD3 today so not that far in front. I've ordered vitamins and pre seed for next month!

Forgot to add my test 🤦‍♀️

@Skincareaddict @Pasha82 @Cheekymonkey3112
Morning girls, I caved and tested this morning I think clear blues must of been a indent as FR is negative this morning, Feeling deflated, AF due tomorrow as 14dpo but technically I’m late as last two cycles have been 13th April & 13th May but I ovulated a week late so brings my AF to 17th this time, I guess we will see, if doesn’t arrive next few days will take another test at weekend but not holding up much luck, but I guess not out until AF shows, So frustrating. 😫 xx

@Skincareaddict sorry to hear about Af turning up, yes def treat yourself, retail therapy always helps. Sending love. Xx

@LeeTTCRainbow that definitely looks positive to me! Hopefully by Friday it should have developed into a stronger positive

I'm out girls, AF is well and truly here. Feeling really sad and bleurgh, will take myself on a shopping trip during my lunch break to cheer myself up.

On to the next cycle!

@Cheekymonkey3112 there's nothing wrong with holding onto 20%. We have to stay positive.

@LeeTTCRainbow that looks positive so fingers crossed for Friday

@Pasha82 thank you so much, I've turned into an absolute symptom spotter which I swore I wasn't gonna do!! 🤣 even when I'm 80% sure I'm out I still hold on to that 20%.

@LeeTTCRainbow
Ohhh!! I can definitely see that. I know it happens and people say it can dry with a line and it not be reliable but I have to say not once have I got a line after mine have dried if I haven't actually been pregnant. Even when I take the test apart, hold it up to the light, put it in black and white and fiddle about with filters 🤣 so I'm definitely thinking you've got a positive there ❤ hopefully it'll be a big fat chunky strong line on Friday for you!

*end picture i meant, changed layout as posted.

Middle pic is when dried and not in time frame.

@Cheekymonkey3112 I tested yesterday as was feeling off, got a vvvfl on clear blue at 11dpo could be a indent so leaving until Friday as AF is due Thursday so not long to wait now.

Today I randomly checked the test and the line is more visible I know isn’t reliable as out of time frame but so show I’m not seeing things.
Will post pics below.

@Cheekymonkey3112 fingers crossed for you. The wait can be gruelling!

@LeeTTCRainbow hopefully that's a good sign 🤞🤞 when are you testing? Still no AF for me. It usually comes between cd28-32. I'm on cd28 today.

@Skincareaddict I know its so true I'm the same, I also refuse to accept AF has turned up too. I think its our minds way of letting us down gently and protecting ourselves 🤷‍♀️ AF hasn't showed up today so we will see if she comes tomorrow

@Skincareaddict fingers crossed it is implantation bleeding. I do exactly the same each month with the symptoms and thinking this is my month, only for AF to show. It's hard to stay positive sometimes but at least the sun has been shining! Let us know how you get on.

@Cheekymonkey3112 I hate it too - if its not my cycle then I wish AF would just turn up for a day then move on so I could go back to ttc. A girl can dream right?

@Pasha82 sending you hugs! I'm at that stage right now..maybe tmi but I have had a bit of light pinkish blood but only a couple of drops. I never ever had this before ttc (it would be straight into a heavy flow) but while ttc this is my second time having it..hoping its implantation bleeding and will test tomorrow if the flow doesn't increase.

@LeeTTCRainbow thanks but I think AF might be here now...although praying its a light implantation bleed
The fact i go through this roller coaster every month of 'ooh I have symptoms' to 'ohh AF is coming' and then refusing to accept when she does arrive makes me sound so stupid when I type it out!!

@babyboybluex how are you doing? realised not heard from you in a while. x

@Skincareaddict sorry to hear you think AF is on her way, you never know some people get cramps think its AF and actually get their BFP so keep positive until she shows her face your not out.

@pinkypink24 great news keep watching that line and hopefully wont be long and getting that positive ovulation test.

@Iloveoreos its still early, wait few more days until AF is due and try again if doesnt show.

@Cheekymonkey3112 not out until she shows her face.

@AureliaRose good luck, hoping AF stays away for you.

12Dpo 2 days until AF due currently no sign of it starting had some abdominal twinches but for only few minutes (normally have pms cramps few days before) but my lower back around tailbone is starting to get painful, which i had with both my previous pregnancies, and was awful night before got my positive so hope it continues and its a sign. these last few days are going to drag!!!

I know how you all feel. When AF arrives I always hope it's just the start of implantation bleeding, but it never is. I bled a little with my first, so I live in hope. Unfortunately this time round it's a proper flow and two days in. I will still be here in July ttc if anyone else is. Good luck

@Skincareaddict yes very true although when I get a bfn I just want the witch to turn up so I can get on with it. Its just one big waiting game this ttc isn't it 😭

@Cheekymonkey3112 thanks and big hugs to you too! Its only over when AF arrives but let's just treat ourselves until she does!
