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?!

@PositivelyPrehistoricMom that's a good point 🤣. Massive congratulations, I'm so pleased for you 🌈🌈

PositivelyPrehistoricMom · 16/04/2022 19:53

@Sarahmayo haha! Yeah but we’re rubbish at listening to our own advice though! Keeping everything crossed for you. I genuinely thought yesterday that that was it for me. Today it’s been a complete turnaround xx

Sarahmayo · 16/04/2022 19:36

@TSunshine thank you, I'm trying not to lose all hope but I don't feel it anymore

Sarahmayo · 16/04/2022 19:35

@PositivelyPrehistoricMom I think it was actually me who said that to you haha! Massive congratulations I'm really happy for you. I just feel like my AF is on the way now and don't feel pregnant at all but you are right, not out until AF arrives Smile

41andtryingforfirst · 16/04/2022 15:06

For those of you who have been disappointed this month, I'm really sorry. Open a bottle of wine or pour yourself a gin - you deserve it! I'm sure I'll be joining you soon.

For those of you who have got your BFPs - many congratulations and best wishes to you.

I've decided I am going to try and hold off from early testing next cycle - it's putting too much pressure on me. I think im just going to wait and not test until I am late. Nature is a cruel thing with all these symptoms and it's doing my head in x

TSunshine · 16/04/2022 13:50

Thanks so much @Graceybaby 🥰

Oh wow @PositivelyPrehistoricMom! So exciting! So @Sarahmayo you’ve still got time! 😊 xx

PositivelyPrehistoricMom · 16/04/2022 13:06

@Sarahmayo as someone said to me you’re not out until AF comes to the party! I tested negative until this morning which was 1 day past when AF due. It was a loooong 30 day cycle though! Stay positive and I’ll keep everything crossed for you and everyone who is still waiting x

Graceybaby · 16/04/2022 13:02

@TSunshine Hey!! Thank you so much 💖 im still in abit of shock tbh! Can't believe it happened so quickly.

Hoping this next cycle is the one for you! 🤞💜 Xxx

TSunshine · 16/04/2022 12:31

Hello!
Congratulations everyone on your BFP! 💕 @Graceybaby I remember you from another thread- amazing news! 🥰
So at 11/12dpo AF came 4 days early. Only a 23 day cycle which seems odd?! Feel gutted but relieved I can look forward to a new cycle. Feel like I’m learning so much from all the tips and comments so will hopefully stand me in better stead 😊

Rosegold3112 · 16/04/2022 12:18

@ArcEnCiel2022 sending you so much baby dust to get that bfp before July ❤️ that rainbow baby is on its way to us! We've just got to be patient but it's so damn hard 😔
My spotting is all over the place. It got heavy on weds/Thurs so I put a pad on but it didn't go on the pad at all, only when I wiped. Went back to the faintest of pinks occasionally yesterday so I had hope but then there have been some small clots/blood stained discharge? I'm not really sure what it is, and then today it's heavy again. Wondering if it's actually starting now. It's so messed up I really don't understand.

ArcEnCiel2022 · 16/04/2022 12:09

@Rosegold3112 I can completely relate to what you say: my due date for my first pregnancy/miscarriage was the 2nd of May, and I was really hoping I would be pregnant by then 😓 My due date for the second one was 17th of July, now I hope it will be before that... I'm worried as well my body is not working properly since the losses. Are you still spotting or has it stopped?

Sarahmayo · 16/04/2022 11:42

Hey everyone, congratulations on the BFP 🌈🌈
Sorry for everyone who hasn't got one 😞
I think I'm definitely out this month now too, really gutted as I had symptoms and convinced myself this was my month. Today I have BFN with FRER and AF due on Monday so I'd say I am definitely out

ArcEnCiel2022 · 16/04/2022 11:28

@PositivelyPrehistoricMom Congratulations!! 💞😍

@GoT1904 @PrettyPolly92 I'm really sorry for you both 😟 I've been seeing imaginary lines in previous cycles too, it's awful as it gives hope and then the disappointment is even stronger Take care of yourself, and we have each other for this new cycle! 💐
I was as well considering to don't do opk this month to take it more relaxed, but then I changed my mind because my luteal phase has been so short, I want to know what is going on...

Rosegold3112 · 16/04/2022 11:24

@GoT1904 your comment about feeling deluded - you're certainly not alone! I'm still testing despite being 90% sure I'm out. I'm getting so many evap lines which is just so cruel but I can't bring myself to throw the tests away. Af is due tomorrow or mon and I have zero cramps. There's something so very off with my cycles. I have had more cramps while I was ovulating and up until 8dpo rather than now when I should be. My temp took a drop this morning so I imagine it will be here tomo or mon as scheduled.

My due date for my last pregnancy was 18th of May and I know it sounds silly but I was hoping I would be pregnant again by then so I wouldn't feel so empty on the day. Instead I think my body is still messed up by it. I never got evaps before that pregnancy either and if I'm being honest I've tested every cycle since and always get some evaps. I'm so worried my body isn't working properly and that was my last chance for another baby.

Ah all the emotions. A definite sign af is on her way 😂 I hope everyone is enjoying the Easter weekend!

PositivelyPrehistoricMom · 16/04/2022 10:15

@Graceybaby I’m pleased, but after saying I was only feeling queasy in the PM, I thought i was going throw up in the bushes of the car park this morning after dropping DD to dancing!! As much as preg sickness is horrid it’s settling my mind a bit that everything is progressing ok x praying for our sticky babies 🙏🙏 xx

PositivelyPrehistoricMom · 16/04/2022 08:46

@GoT1904

I actually just feel so deluded. Like thinking I can see lines, then I had that implantation bleeding dream last night... I bet my unconscious self recognised cramps or something then made that dream up.

So even though I've been bleeding today I've been still hoping. I feel really silly and really sad. Xx

I’ve just seen your post from yesterday. I’m so sorry, I think a whole lot of us can empathise with how you’re feeling. You shouldn’t feel silly and you’re allowed to feel sad. Give yourself the space to give your sadness the value it needs and we’re all here to hold you up. Sending you massive huge hugs xxx

@GoT1904

Yay *@PositivelyPrehistoricMom* that's amazing news! I'm really sorry about your previous loss :( how are you feeling??

That's a very good line! :D I'd say in less than a week you'll get your digital, but in a week yea you'd definitely get a positive. Thrilled for you :) xxx

@GoT1904 thank you. I’m okay. Physically I’m tired (but have a 5 year old so it’s par for the course!) and I get queasy mainly at night, can’t eat as much without feeling like I’m going to upchuck. I was barely sick with my daughter so praying that’s a good sign! Emotionally I’m running a gauntlet of being so happy and excited (with it being last chance saloon and all with my age) to being scared witless that we’ll lose this one as well. Just praying it’ll stick 🙏 calculated we’ll be having an Xmas eve baby based on last period/on this cycle of 30 days x
Graceybaby · 16/04/2022 08:28

@GoT1904 aw thank you, it's been lovely chatting with you all, I will still be hanging around and keeping an eye out for your future BFPs!!

@PositivelyPrehistoricMom OMG! yay! 🎉💕 That definitely looks positive to me! hoping and praying for sticky babies for us both!! So exciting.

If youre a day late I would say a digi would be positive too.. Think I took mine when what would have been a day late but if you want to be absolutely certain maybe leave it a couple of days 😊

We’ll first off all, so much for me saying I wouldn’t test. Flo gave me my due on date as being Wednesday but then today it said I was one day late and to take a test so I think it must look at all your past cycles and give a window of when AF can be due as yesterday was CD day 30 @GoT1904.

So anyway I’ve tested. It’s a first response one and I’ve clearly got a v faint line but it’s still a positive right?! I know Hcg doubles every day so time to take care of myself and get myself to the dr for some higher strength folic acid to take than the standard (they wouldn’t prescribe it me before even tho they told me I needed it being older!)

Would people recommend me testing in a week or so on a digital?

Now to hope this baby is a sticky one (m/c at 11.6 weeks last time)

Congratulations on your bfp @Graceybaby I missed your post I’m so pleased for you. I’m run down too and have behaved somewhat obsessively I may even book a private early scan too!

Anyone testing around April 19th? My 2ww is just starting.

It really is exhausting @Graceybaby! Please keep us updated with your pregnancy, it's been lovely chatting to you on here.

I always go for the 8 week scans! Xx

Graceybaby · 16/04/2022 06:07

@PositivelyPrehistoricMom Your definitely not out until AF arrives.. I spent all week going back and forth thinking am I aren't I it was exhausting and if I hadn't off got pregnant this cycle, next cycle would have been very different for me. I let it consume me far too much that I wasn't even sleeping. I actually am so surprised it stuck with my body is such a rundown state.

Not feeling as sick.today, just trying to relax and let me body do it's thing.. won't be taking any more tests as it'll just stress me out. Will book a private scan for around 8 weeks xx

GoT1904 · 15/04/2022 21:25

It is @PrettyPolly92. I remember my mum telling me that too!! I'm sorry AF got you. Its honestly a comfort being on this thread, knowing we're going into another cycle together. It's crazy how line eyes are a real thing.

Thanks @MrsGrealish xxx

@PositivelyPrehistoricMom I hope you get your BFP! What CD are you on now??

My evening update is that a while ago, my bleeding had stopped and so I did a cheapie test, then now it's back. 😂😂 I think maybe my body doesn't know what it's doing after the pill.

I'm not going to take ovulation tests this cycle, I think when I know what date I'm on etc, I obsess too much. Gonna try DTD often, make a note of OV symptoms but not try pinpoint it exactly.

@Graceybaby

Oh I'm joining that club today *@PositivelyPrehistoricMom*! I'm so paranoid that everytime I feel 'damp' AF has shown up and this is all in my head.

Fingers crossed there's a good reason AF hasn't shown for you 🤞💜

@Graceybaby I caved and did another test and it’s still a bfn. I’m fully expecting AF to pay a visit. ‘T cycles vary each month from 25-30 days so I’m not quite out the window. My boobs are a bit sore/ twingy/achy and I am feeling quite queasy but only ever in the evenings - again not reading into too much as I can get like that before I’m due on.

I’m really going to hold off testing now until maybe Monday if AF still hasn’t appeared. I just can’t afford to keep buying them!

My last to term pregnancy with my daughter I tested the day before I was due on at 11am and it was a strong result and my last pregnancy (ended in m/c) was similar timing but not as strong result so I was expecting this one to follow suit. Who knows. All I’m saying is I’m not out until AF shows up!
