Hi all! I'm currently 1dpo.. so officially in the last stage of this cycle! I should be due AF around April 19th, which happens to be my birthday! So I'm going to try really hard not to test until then. Anyone else around the same?!

🤞🏻@MrsGrealish. Couldn't resist a FRER bargain
Sorry to hear anyone who is out this month, on the plus side you won't be giving birth at Christmas
I'm sure there will be more of us joining you too

MrsGrealish · 13/04/2022 11:26

@Sarahmayo I'm due 18 April as well. Thinking 26 day cycle since I ovulated early. Thanks for the heads up on the FRERs !!

MamaMorg01 · 13/04/2022 10:52

@ArcEnCiel2022 no worries! Just realised autocorrect changed what I wrote😂 it's meant to say Agnus Castus

ArcEnCiel2022 · 13/04/2022 10:49

@MamaMorg01 Thank you! I will have a look at that, I'm willing to try anything that could help.

MamaMorg01 · 13/04/2022 10:47

@ArcEnCiel2022 so Evening Primrose Oil worked quite well and Angus Castus I use too, which usually helps regulate everything, particularly the Luteal Phase. I'm no doctor but I can definitely say it's worked for me, maybe speak to GP about them? I bought both from Holland and Barrett so I also asked staff about them too!

ArcEnCiel2022 · 13/04/2022 10:42

@MamaMorg01 thank you! What kind of herbal remedies did you take?

MamaMorg01 · 13/04/2022 10:39

@ArcEnCiel2022 I'm sorry to hear this! I have no advice sorry, but I hope you can get some answers from GP. A couple of my cycles have been weird and I've always taken herbal remedies to help balance my hormones x

ArcEnCiel2022 · 13/04/2022 10:25

@GeraniumCedarwood let me know how it goes for you. Yes, I don't count the spotting either, it would be even shorter if I was. I just booked an appointment with my GP for next Wednesday.
I've also had some spotting few days before ovulation which I never had before.

GeraniumCedarwood · 13/04/2022 10:16

@ArcEnCiel2022 I'm going through the same thing. No advice as such, but I am about to submit my last few months of evidence to the GP as soon as AF is officially here. Last month was only 7 days for me! I don't usually count spotting as part of my flow, only when the bleeding starts properly.

ArcEnCiel2022 · 13/04/2022 10:08

AF is definitely here for me 😭 I can believe how early she is, I'm only 10dpo, maybe 11, that would make my luteal phase 9 or 10 days, it's too short right? Since I track my ovulation my luteal phase was always 11-12 days, now I'm really worried something is wrong. Anyone experienced this? Any advice?

MrsGrealish · 13/04/2022 09:54

Sorry for all the BFNs 😞

I'm 9dpo and swore I wouldn't test today. Will see how long I can hold out

GeraniumCedarwood · 13/04/2022 09:45

@Sarahmayo, thanks just ordered 2 packs too!

Also i'm due on the 15th, as I have a short LP. I'm between 8-10dpo today, depending on what App I look at. I've been spotting brown stuff for a few days now and cramping on and off so think AF is due.

Rosegold3112 · 13/04/2022 09:43

Well ladies I'm pretty sure I'm out this month. I caved yesterday and did another test in the morning cos I have the will power of a sponge. After only a 2 hour hold it was of course negative but then I thought i could see the faintest of lines if I looked in natural light. So I got on the case to DH again and asked for a decent test and he delivered. But with a digital 🙄🙄 I wanted to keep it until I was sure. Did a cheap test this morning and not even a squinter but again the sponge will power and seeing those words not pregnant has royally burst my bubble 😔 had more spotting as well this morning. Af due sun/Mon but I think it will come tomo cos its my only day at work and life likes to be funny like that 😒 how's everyone else getting on?

dinoparadise · 13/04/2022 09:31

AF due on the 18th for me!

T4Opal · 13/04/2022 09:20

My app says AF is due on the 19th, however I think that’s wrong and skewed by covid making me 5 days late last month. I reckon it’ll be the 17th instead

Sarahmayo · 13/04/2022 09:19

Scrap that just checked flow again mine is actually 18th. It usually comes around the date flo predicts

Sarahmayo · 13/04/2022 09:17

When is everyone's AFs due? Mine is 20th

Sarahmayo · 13/04/2022 09:16

Morning ladies, sorry for all BFNs but no one is out until AF arrives. I caved and did a cheapie this morning also BFN but was expecting it to be. Think I'm somewhere between 7-10 days PO, I don't do OPKs as I can get the hang of them so kinda guess work. Flo app says predicted ovulation on 3rd but from my CM I think it was more like 6th. I have sore boobs, constipation, white CM and have had some mild lower abdominal cramping in the last few days. I've felt so positive this month with the conception date around my birthday and if I get a BFP my due date is Christmas Day, just felt like it was meant to be but also aware that we do tend to cling onto any little sign too. Anyway keeping positive and no one is out until AF arrives. 🤞🏻 for everyone 🌈🌈❤️

MamaMorg01 · 13/04/2022 09:08

Aww ladies❤️

I really hope we can get our BFP's this month!! @GoT1904 I think I'm 11/12dpo, and due on Sunday for me, how many dpo are you now? X

TTC is stressful, but nice that we can support each other. I haven't been very active on here, been running around after my 11 month old😂

GoT1904 · 13/04/2022 09:04

This morning I have two choices. Don't test, or go to the post office to send my parcels and quickly call in to the chemist. 😂 I shouldn't though. But I so want to.

GoT1904 · 13/04/2022 09:01

@MrsGrealish maybe I just have line eyes too FFS 😂

Awwww @Graceybaby what a bummer! :(

How many DPO are we all?? We're not out yet! Xxx

Graceybaby · 13/04/2022 08:41

@GoT1904 I had similar on mine this morning, think it was just an indent 😞
Fingers crossed yours gets darker!

My LP phase is usually only 10 or 11 days but I don't feel like I have any AF symptoms yet, not sure when she'll arrive because of pill so just a waiting game.. I've exhausted myself this week.. haven't been sleeping very well.. just need to let it go and what will be will be.

dinoparadise · 13/04/2022 08:36

BFN for me again this morning. Sorry for all the other BFN's too ❤️ I've got to be about 12-14dpo so I'm pretty confident I'm out this month. Bit disappointed as I had almost convinced myself it was a certainty after the spotting, but there's always next month!

ArcEnCiel2022 · 13/04/2022 08:26

Good morning all! Sorry about all the BFN 😟 hopefully some of you are just testing too early 🤞

I haven't tested again, but I'm still spotting and cramping, so I will just wait for AF, I think she will come early. I'm also now a bit worried that my luteal phase seems to get shorter.
