Hi all,

I'm new here and looking for my cycle buddies.

Currently CD24, 8 DPO. I'm in my TWW and the wait is killing me! Tested with FMU today and BFN. Although I convinced myself I saw a shadow, I think it's probably my line eyes lol.

I miscarried my first pregnancy 23/08 at 4w2d ( CP )Sad

Praying for my BFP this monthHalo

Anybody else in the same boat??

I’m on CD28, 9DPO, spotting on 5+8DPO - highly unusual for me to bleed outside of AF tho. BFN 7DPO. Tested this morning and maybe the faintest ever vvfl but not getting hopes up or excited yet - it could have very much been an indent.
Im not out until AF arrives who is due anytime after CD29-31 as I ovulated a day later this month too.

baby dust to all

I’m cd7 of cycle 12 - felt much more okay about AF arriving this month than I had the two / three months before and was generally feeling quite calm about things but then I was on Instagram today and saw yet another pregnancy announcement and it’s made me feel rubbish - just like it seems to be happening for everyone but us which I know isn’t true really still felt meh. Anyway went shopping and feel a bit better for some retail therapy 😂.

How are you @Firsttimetrying2022 ?

Firsttimetrying2022 · 26/11/2022 09:06

How is everyone doing?

Firsttimetrying2022 · 13/11/2022 16:02

AF arrived today ... I think anyway. Very light and pinkish brown but trying not to hold on to hope that it's just implantation bleeding

Morning all - for those who are not tracking anything how do you know when AF is due? It's my first month of not tracking and last cycle was a bit shorter. If this cycle was the same length AF would've been due yesterday, if it is more 'normal' 28 days it's due tomorrow so I don't know if I'm already late and should/could test or not. The wait and hoping is killing me! To add to this my boobs are very full and firm at the moment which they normally are after ovulation but not this close to AF. I'm so confused since giving up tracking

Firsttimetrying2022 · 11/11/2022 22:06

@RJS20 hope you feel better soon!

@RJS20 how are you feeling?

Hiya! I’ve been loaded with cold all week so pretty rubbish and I can’t seem to shift it. No sickness or anything, just craving a cheese sandwich today 😂

RJS20 · 11/11/2022 12:37

Thank you 💕💕 can’t believe it!

A couple of us have just unfortunately had AF arrive again so pretty gutted in our house 😞

We have some blood tests and semen analysis coming up in December though so trying to focus on the fact we at least have some proactive next steps.

So sorry to hear that. It’s really hard isn’t it. What are you doing to keep your mind off it? ❤️

Started having cramps and some nausea today :( i think AF might show tomorrow which is upsetting both because it means another cycle hasn't worked but also because it would again be unusually early for me the second time in a row making me worried that something is going on

Bananatoast123 · 09/11/2022 15:59

@RJS20 Tracking was making me like that too so we stopped from June to October! I’ll probably just track this cycle and just wing it for December! It is difficult isn’t it, I’m not sure I have the motivation for another cycle if this doesn’t work!

Firsttimetrying2022 · 09/11/2022 13:42

@monsteramunch it's our fourth cycle so still relatively early on. I just feel hyper aware of everything going on with my body and I think if something isn't quite the same as 'normal' i get freaked out. I'm sure if we weren't trying a slightly earlier and lighter period wouldn't have concerned me at all ...

Sorry to hear you're struggling as well - hopefully the test will turn positive soon! You're not out until AF shows!

monsteramunch · 09/11/2022 13:01

Firsttimetrying2022 · 09/11/2022 10:20

How's everyone doing ? For me AF is due on Sunday but I've started feeling light cramps today ... but worried because my last period was a few days early which never usually happens for me so if this one is early too I'm worried there might be something going on.

Trying to wait patiently and take it day by day but that's not really something I'm good at

It's so hard isn't it? It feels almost impossible not to get preoccupied with it. Have you been trying for quite a few cycles?

My body is being cruel to me in that I'm 3 days late for my period (so clinging onto hope) but having all symptoms minus bleeding (sore boobs, skin breakout, backache and horrible cramps) but did another digital test this morning... and a BFN.

Just wish it would arrive now so I can write off this month, let myself be sad for a couple of days and then focus on the next month.

@RJS20 @monsteramunch Hey both! I’m 5dpo today. Bbt is still rising but doing a day 21 progesterone test in 2 days time to check. If all ok then it confirms my cycles are ok hormone levels wise.

Sorry you think AF is coming! But it’s good you have a plan going forward!

Hello @Bananatoast123 fingers crossed you get your BFP this month.

According to Flo I’m 9dpo and had some spotting last night, AF is due in a few days but I’m not really tracking anything and we are just winging it this month as tracking was making me miserable xx
