hi everyone, I just wanted to check in and see how everyone is doing. Sorry to those that have gotten bfn. I truly hope that everyone can get their bfp by the end of March at least. I know this journey can be very overwhelming but please don’t give up.

I think AF may have just arrived 🥺. Very light and 3 days late. Ttc month 3 here we go. X

It's still not here!! I thought it was but was just the lightest spot ever not even sure if it was spotting and now absolutely nothing. Negative test still and took an early response this morning. What's going on! 4 days late. Has anyone else been pregnant and not shown on any tests.

Keeping fingers crossed for you @Choc29

Unfortunately AF made her appearance for me yesterday right on the dot so I'm out this month. Not sure why I kept having cramping for two weeks though, perhaps it was just that I was more aware of my body than before as this was first cycle ttc. Anyway in to the next cycle and trying it all over again after AF is over

Choc29 · 18/02/2024 12:32

BFN again this morning. Still no sign of AF. But not unusual for her to turn up a day or so late. X

I’m out this month, light period when I wipe has started this morning. Think i definitely need to speak to a doctor about the short luteal phase the app says I have

Sorry to hear that. I’m exactly the same at 9dpo. This happens to me every month and I get my hopes up that it’s implantation bleeding 😔 I find it so hard to decide if it’s ’spotting’ or full on AF as it’s somewhere in between.

I’m waiting for the results of a progesterone test.

Choc29 · 15/02/2024 20:49

Got a BFN just now but I am 2 days early for test and tested in evening so there's still a chance. X

Suddenly87 · 15/02/2024 20:18

Sorry to the ones who have BFN's and hoping for more luck next ❤, update from me, very AF like niggles and cramping, did a Clearblue digital test today which was a BFN (apparently only around 60 percent accurate when done 5 days before) but I'm still hoping as still another 4-5 days to go until AF appears. All typical symptoms of AF but then again I keep reading this can be similar to early pregnancy symptoms... Also went for a walk earlier and kept feeling lightheaded... I'm still hoping until I see AF making an appearance.. 🙄

Having horrendous mood swings. Just had a big argument with husband. I'm 2 days away from af. Wondering if I should just test now, can you test in evening 2 days early? It may just be af arriving for the mood swing but it's not like me.

I would probably use one of the 5 or 6 days early tests, for more certainty. Keep us posted!

purplecolouroffunk · 15/02/2024 19:52

Starrysky812 · 15/02/2024 16:22

AF has arrived so I'm officially out! 1 day early as not due till tomorrow, but I guess that's a good thing as it's a new start all the sooner. Good luck ladies ❤️

Aw I’m sorry to hear that! Onward to next month 🙂❤️

@Cols124 i know what you mean, I don't think I ever really felt pregnant with the one I lost and now I am just even more desperate!

@MrsWhite22 its so weird isn't it, I am still praying that I am still in with a chance but I didn't wait for a period after my miscarriage so if it did work it would be a miracle although not impossible

@Starrysky812 so sorry to hear that but like you said onto the next cycle xxx

MrsWhite22 · 15/02/2024 15:13

@FullMoon1917 AF is usually on time with the app i use so I’m confused why she hasn’t showed yet when it says but still getting negative tests. When I was pregnant with my son I found out before Af was even due and the same with the pregnancy I sadly lost, although looking back at both pregnancies my first I felt no symptoms at all just a missed period and the second my boobs were really sore and tender to touch which prompted me to do a test. Iv had no symptoms as such so far apart from aches and cramps here and there

Cols124 · 15/02/2024 13:53

@FullMoon1917 its so difficult not to compare to your previous pregnancy. I didn’t have any symptoms until about 5 weeks so I know what I’m experiencing now is PMS. I would love to relax during the TWW but that’s just not my personality. I just want another child so badly 😔

FullMoon1917 · 15/02/2024 13:17

@Cols124 i know what you mean, last time the dizziness and stomach pain was so bad I booked a doctors appointment (didn't occur to me that it was pregnancy given we were a year in with no luck). Whereas I feel fine now so its not likely. I really want to be relaxed next cycle and not even allow myself to test till I miss my period but who knows....

Cols124 · 15/02/2024 13:03

@FullMoon1917 I always say until AF appears then there is a chance! I just have a feeling though.
I’m going to test each day until AF appears.

@Brianna4kd so happy to hear your HCG is increasing! Wow you really did your preparation properly! Can I ask how you managed to test every 4 hours without hydration being a factor? I drink way too many teas in a day to be able to do that so only tested with FMU and once it got dark tried again that afternoon.

@Cols124 @MrsWhite22 sorry to hear its still BFN, mines the same this morning and I am either due on Sat or Monday depending if my cycle has gone back to normal (Sat) or increased in length. Maybe there is still hope for us?

Cols124 · 15/02/2024 12:21

@MrsWhite22 Im due AF on Sunday. I’m not holding out hope. Although I didn’t get a BFP for my son until 2 days after my period and it was very faint.
I just have this feeling it isn’t meant to be this month.
Hopefully you know one way or another soon. You’re not out until AF turns up! Sending baby dust.

Hi, I hope everyone got to make the best of their Valentine’s day( for those that do celebrate). Sorry to all that have received bfn fingers crossed for success next cycle.

I tracked my cycle using ovulation tests. I used easy at home (ordered off of amazon) as well as the clear blue advanced. I would test with the cheapies and once they start getting dark I would cross reference with the clear blue. I use the Premom app as well as fertility friend to track my bbt, cervical mucus and position, symptoms, etc.

I would test almost every four hours once those tests started darkening up. If I had stopped when I got a really dark opk and the peak on clear blue advanced I wouldn’t have caught that the surge had gotten even higher or that I had another one the following day.

MrsWhite22 · 15/02/2024 09:11

I tested today and BFN. According to my app AF should of arrived on the 13th so she’s late and clearly playing a cruel game with me by not arriving and getting my hopes up

Cols124 · 15/02/2024 07:34

Dpo 11/12. Tested this morning and BFN.
Yesterday I have shooting pains in the side I ovulated, bloating, headache and cramping. I’m also exhausted but maybe that’s due to my 10 month old learn to walk 😅
Still bloated and cramping this morning. I definitely feel like AF is on her way!

@Brianna4kd that's wonderful news. What a relief for you. Truly hoping all goes well for you too. Do keep us posted if you feel you can. Take care ❤️ xxx

Cols124 · 14/02/2024 18:33

@Brianna4kd sounds like things are going in the right direction. Fingers crossed for you 🤍
