14dpo 😬 so I think if was positive it would probably be darker by now. So hard not to get your hopes up! Work tomorrow will definitely take my mind off it! On to next month I think…

@GoldenArrow my period was a lot later after having COVID so wouldn't be surprised if that is what has happened to you this Month. What cycle day are you on?
I have ovulated today so tww starts tomorrow ekk

How many DPOs are you? I can’t see anything but not to say there isn’t a faint line in real life. @Swift1602

AppleTree16 · 21/01/2024 16:50

It will be the covid. The infection and the vaccines are well known to mess around with cycles.

Swift1602 · 21/01/2024 12:24

It’s a bit easier to see in real life 😂 25 - I’m going to pop out and get a more sensitive one soon!

Hayl777 · 21/01/2024 11:24

@Swift1602 I can see the shadow, no colour to it tho. How sensitive r those strips?

Swift1602 · 21/01/2024 10:03

Am I losing my mind? Please tell me if I am 😂

@RedRobyn2021 it being January (the longest month ever) and bloody miserable isn't helping either. Such a rubbish way to be feeling, I hope you don't get AF!

Oh @Swift1602 that still sounds promising!

I'm 6 days late, clear blue not pregnant with dark morning pee. I believe I've just missed my period this month or am having a really late one. A lot happened: I took OVEX just after last period, I started vitamin d and folic acid for first time, I've had covid. So it's been far from a normal cycle!

Swift1602 · 21/01/2024 08:11

I’m still here 😅 thought AF was coming the other day when I posted - had brown spotting when I wiped which is usually how it starts. A day later nothing else, tested BFN. Friday morning a smidge more pinky spotting when I wiped so I was like go yes here she is! And nothing. Going to do another test in a minute though I’ve got a feeling it’s just AF toying with me for a laugh!

RedRobyn2021 · 20/01/2024 17:41

Started feeling mild period cramps when I was walking the dog today, not due until next Friday. Today was feeling really emotional like PMS

I really thought this was our month and I think it's not going to be it again. It's soul destroying this whole process.

SlinkMcSlink · 20/01/2024 07:48

I’m definitely out. :( Not sure if I have the mental space to join a Feb thread. Good luck everyone else. Xx

GoldenArrow · 19/01/2024 22:19

@ButterflySkies no sign of period, think I'm 4 days late. Sore, engorged boobs. Expecting the period from hell. Still testing negative. I am wondering, I had sex on ovulation day, 4th Jan, would a positive test show yet? Just thinking it's only been two weeks since I think I could have conceived. I'm just confused. I've had an awful month though so could be stress related!

@SlinkMcSlink crossing my fingers for you 🤞 hopefully it's just spotting xx

ButterflySkies · 19/01/2024 21:01

@GoldenArrow how are you getting on???

@SlinkMcSlink I've got absolutely everything crossed for you it isnt AF. Sending you a HUGE hand hold and cuddle. Xxx

SlinkMcSlink · 19/01/2024 20:11

I think AF has arrived. Well I think it is. If it carries on tomorrow then it’s definitely AF and not spotting.

Really they should advertise that it’s so hard to get pregnant. All I saw when I was younger was that you will have sex and get pregnant so protection protection protection. But literally that’s not true! DTD at exactly the right time for nearly two years now. Can’t cope!

GoldenArrow · 18/01/2024 13:56

Ah sorry to hear that @Swift1602

I've still no AF. Don't know if I should take another test or if its a waste of money. Day 4 of missed period now and cramping stopped. Just think day 2 of missed period would have shown a positive.

Swift1602 · 18/01/2024 06:35

Looks like AF has arrived! On to next month! Boo 👎

GoldenArrow · 17/01/2024 22:09

Thanks @RedRobyn2021 hoping it arrives tomorrow. Feel it'll be an extra painful one, always is if it's late! Onto Feb x Good luck to the others 🤞

RedRobyn2021 · 17/01/2024 19:41

The hardest part is when you have to wait for your period, I hope AF comes asap for you @GoldenArrow

RedRobyn2021 · 17/01/2024 19:40

Good luck @Swift1602

GoldenArrow · 17/01/2024 11:17

I'm annoyed. Another negative test. 3 days late, no bleeding. Just hurry up AF! I'd surely have had a positive by now if pregnant would I? 👀

Swift1602 · 17/01/2024 06:13

Due on tomorrow! Usually feel like a raging rage monster by this point but I’m feeling quite calm. I’m probably overthinking it 😅

GoldenArrow · 16/01/2024 18:31

@ButterflySkies negative Clearblue test! Feel the first twinges of period, no blood yet though!

ButterflySkies · 16/01/2024 16:39

Thank you @GoldenArrow - everything crossed for you! Please keep me updated, hoping you bump over to the pregnancy feed not the feb one…! Xx

GoldenArrow · 16/01/2024 08:46

Oh @ButterflySkies that seems extra cruel and unfair! Hope you're feeling alright today. Roll on next month 🤞

Not yet, still no period but test arrives at some point today so I'll update you when I've done it. I'm thinking I actually ovulated late this month and am having a late period, but we will see x

ButterflySkies · 16/01/2024 07:49

Ps ive just joined on a feb group if anyone else is out and wants a fresh start - good luck to all you lovely ladies still in your tww 💜
