Hoping for a BFP October/November

BFN for me this month, waited out and got so hopefull as AF was late bought a test in the hope of testing Friday just gone but no AF arrived before the test came in the post lol onwards and upwards expected ov day is 10th dec so told the hubby he best be ready 🤣

sorry for everyone else who got a bfn this cycle it sucks.

@kizzy97 thank you! AF arrived this morning so new cycle starts today for me.

Sorry about BFNs 😔 @Purple29 @Saribon @My2boysaremyworld xx

So AF turned up today 😢 was really hoping I was pregnant to tell my OH on his bday on Wednesday. He turns 40 and I'm 40 the next day. Oh well means I can have a drink on my bday xx

@Purple29 snap! I altered my ovation day on my pre mom to reflect the day I think I ovulated. I messed up with opk's and that threw the app data. So that puts me at 12dpo today with AF due yesterday. I've had no AF but tested negative this AM🙄
I'm sick of it all today

I am between 6-11dpo, found my mood swings have been absolutely out of control, lower back ache, nausea on and off and some mild cramping mainly when lying down for bed and I've definitely been a lot more tired than normal...don't want to get my hopes up but can't help but wonder xx

Hey ladies, I've started charting my BBT a while ago and while AF always comes every 30 or 31 days, I'm not sure I'm ovulating.
The apps I use set my ovulation date based on temperature but I don't really have CM all the time.

I also use cheap ovulation tests and the digital Clearblue ones starting from cycle day 9 and they match the predicted ovulation day showing high peaks.

This is my chart now, during the fertile window we've only tried 2 days before said ovulation day because I wasn't feeling really well and I have zero symptoms.
Was nauseous and with a bit of ovary cramping this morning but it might have been because of a late and spicy dinner.

Are thriphasic charts a thing? Is anything a thing? I'm lost, I want to avoid another testing disappointment so I'll ways until the 1st (when AF should come. Hopefully my net AF is next autumn)

Hi again all!

It's cd 11 for me and for the first time since TTC #3 I got a flashing smiley! Usually I go straight from low to peak and the only thing I did different this month is not paying that much attention to things and even forget to do seed cycling every day but 1! I usually O on day 14 so keeping an eager eye for the next couple of days and I'm not going to use my progesterone oil this cycle and see what the Proov tests say regarding pdg. Hope you're all doing well, crossed fingers for everyone and congratulations to all who got their BFP's! :-)

Hey everyone! I'm still on this thread even though November AF has been and gone, but everyone's so lovely I don't want to go elsewhere 🤣

Congrats to all who have had BFP so far! Fingers crossed for everyone else and those who are onto the next cycle!

I'm on CD 8, had a super long cycle before AF think was 42 days, so I'm still regulating after coming off the pill, I use my health app to track my cycle but until it settles I let it estimate on a 31 day cycle and then I just plot where things happen to make it accurate! So today I started having menstrual type cramps, my app says fertile window starts in 3 days, but wondered if ovulation pain lasts for days or just on the day it happens? I've never really had it before that I have noticed and certainly not like this if I have, its not extreme cramps but enough I pointed it out to DH and took an ovulation test which was negative!

Just wondered what people's ovulation pain has been like? I will keep testing ovulation now over the next few days to try and pin point a peak but I'm sure I read ages ago that ovulation pain only happens when actually ovulating not before but I may be wrong!

Just to add the ovulation strips I use state that any line that isn't the same or bolder than control is negative and usually I get a faint line around ovulation time, to a peak and then a drop off but today when I tested it was a clear negative no second line at all!

That’s defo positive my test didn’t show till I was six days late never happened to me before. The one your using is a one step test their very good showed the positive before FRER for me good luck .

Yes @Purple29 the day to test needs adjusted based on when you ovulate.

@Purple29
I was told ideally it's over 30 on the day 21 test, however it sounds like your days are out so it makes sense that yours is low.
The 'day 21' is based on a 28 day cycle.. so 7 days after ovulation.

I was similar to you on my first test - I think it was 22.. but then I had a repeat test another cycle and it was in the 40s, which was on a more accurate cycle day.
I presume it can fluctuate from cycle to cycle a little too.

Happy birthday :D

@Purple29 no idea about the levels sorry but you would think ovulation timing is bound to affect it! Haha I was like that last time when I had a night out, AF ended up arriving before it anyway 😑 But I really don’t know what I was planning to do if it was positive and I couldn’t drink! 😂

happy birthday for Saturday!

@UserL95 I can't say that I've ever had implantation bleeding so I can't answer but it sounds right if you don't usually experience this.

I'm 10 dpo today nothing much to report other than a wave of sickness that hit me earlier. Then I had some period type lower back pain on 8dpo...... AF due weds according to my app but my ovulation strips were a bit inconsistent this month cos I was testing at different times of day and I think the app has predicted ovulation a day early. I think AF is actually due Friday

I’m 5PO today and wiped bright red/pink blood with fmu. And on the second wipe there was nothing! I never bleed/spot outside of AF days and AF isnt due for another 7 days.

Im reluctant to get too hopeful but could this be implantation bleeding?

Anyone with similar experiences?

Meant trying not to be hopeful xx

11DPO today and feeling nauseous and got tender boobs. Had some strange tummy twinges yesterday. Due AF Friday/Saturday. I'm trying to be hopeful as cramping a bit too xx

@Daisy155 Thank you love. I hope your AF is no where to be seen for the next nine months xx

Congratulations on the BFP @JosieB68 @Saribon I completely understand how you feel and it does get heavy sometimes and overwhelming

@kizzy97 good luck 🍀 for Test

Test day for me next Tuesday, purposely been ignorning my body the last few days as not to symptom spot as it never tends to bode well for me although there was a lot of twinging as I was trying to go to sleep last night that was impossible to ignore. Not feeling very hopeful but I think I've just learned to expect the worst every month now. Good luck to those waiting to test, sorry to those whose af has turned up and congrats to those with BFPs xx

Can’t believe I still haven’t tested neither and test day is now in 2 days, AF was meant to arrive today but according to flo test day is Wednesday so nervous and waiting to hopefully miss AF 🥺 xx

@BCxx i know! I didn't realise before how much pressure this could put on a relationship. Not the constant negatives but the pressure to have sex at the right time. I think this coming month I'm going to not tell him a thing about when I'm ovulating and everything. He had a very, very traumatic bereavement last year and he has done amazing. But he is sensitive and I've realised this month I need to take the pressure off him. I haven't been nagging or stressing him but I think he def picks up on my mood and feelings and carries that. I'm just going to try and be more relaxed about it all.

I'm 8dpo now but I don't think I'm pregnant I actually cracked and tested today and I have no idea why I did it. Well I do its because I'm so desperate to give him something to look forward to!! It was obviously negative but now I'm convinced I'm out now and that little bit of hope usually carries me through the month. This is such a heavy experience and I wish I knew less about it all. BUT after a tough day I've kind of turned my thinking around. He doesn't need me to be anything other than present and supportive. If I'm obsessing about getting pregnant and my body clock I'm not fully here for him.

So I've decided that m waking up tomorrow and taking some of the pressure off myself. If its meant to be it will be and all that
