@EllieWales Thank you! Definitely a stomach bug was up all night so at least I know im not going mental haha 🀣

Why do our bodies play these games it's so frustrating and stressful. I hear some people dont get positives until a few days later? Have you had any AF symptoms that make you think it's starting soon?

EllieWales · 30/07/2025 06:16

@Lh4503 hope you’re feeling better soon!

I don’t know what’s going on with my body either AF is now two days late, RHR and BBT are both still elevated but a bfn this morning at 14dpo confirms I’m out

Lh4503 · 29/07/2025 20:30

@WF1990 omgggg yes i see the line!! 😊😊 awww im hoping this is it for you. 🀞

I finished AF 5 days ago now and ive still got lower back aches, nausea and my tummy feels really crampy. I dunno if ive got some sort of bug, hopefully I do and it passes soon because I feel like my body's broken πŸ€£πŸ™ˆ

EllieWales · 29/07/2025 20:06

@WF1990 if AF doesn’t arrive overnight I’ll test again tomorrow just to quiet my brain more than anything πŸ˜… really hoping you get your positive tomorrow 🀞

WF1990 · 29/07/2025 18:38

Thanks gals I think I’m very reserved given that I’ve had this bleeding and negatives so far …!
I will see tomorrow , I think it’s been such a weird month I need to sit back and take a deep breath πŸ˜‚
@EllieWalesare you testing tomorrow ??

@WF1990 I think I can see a line there too! πŸŽ‰

EllieWales · 29/07/2025 16:38

@WF1990 I feel for you, there’s nothing worse than the limbo πŸ€¦πŸΌβ€β™€οΈ that line is definitely there looks promising. I would be running to get more tests if I was you I have no self control πŸ˜‚

WF1990 · 29/07/2025 16:33

@EllieWalesi would test again tomorrow if I were you !
I have no tests left in the house and I don’t know if I want to get any at that point 😭🀣
this is the most mindf*ck month I’ve ever had I swear …

Aww @MegLSthats soo annoying she’s coming now but have a lovely honeymoon!

@Kayleaaa hope she arrives soon for you she is taking her time!!

@WF1990omg I see that line!! It could well have been implantation, are you planning on testing again on the morning?

I’m still waiting for AF she was due yesterday. I accepted I wasn’t pregnant yesterday after a bfn but the longer it goes on gives me hope and I’d rather she just came now so I can move on to the next cycle. I’m 13 dpo today so most likely she is just a little later than usual this month

WF1990 · 29/07/2025 16:13

Afternoon ladies !

@Kayleaaausually af is never late it’s the ovulation that is delayed as the luteal phase remains the same ! Could you have ovulated later than you thought ??? (🀞🏼)

Can anyone see a line on this ?
I can. Im starting to wonder if my 2 day watery period was implantation, if I end up having a bfp I don’t hold much hope as I think it would be much stronger … I’m 12/13 dpo.

Hope everyone has better news today!
18dpo and still waiting about but thankfully the signs of AF coming are here so hoping in the next few hours!
She must be wanting a very grand entrance this month πŸ˜‚ I'm not even mad I'm not pregnant, I just want to get to the next cycle now!

MegLS · 28/07/2025 16:29

@WF1990 That sounds so frustrating, hope they can give you some answers!

I’m 99% sure I’m out this month, I’ve had another negative test and had spotting yesterday which usually tells me AF is on the way. I had the same thing last month, so just got to wait for it to properly start now. Typically it’s also right on time for me and my husband to go on our honeymoon, not really what you want!

Lh4503 · 28/07/2025 09:54

@WF1990 awww im sorry your going through this, it's hard enough without the added stress of having to go back to your GP. Hopefully they will know what's going on and get you back on track ❀️ sending hugs.

Keeping my fingers crossed for anyone still in the waiting game, it's so hard 😒 keep pushing through!

EllieWales · 28/07/2025 08:35

@Kayleaaa we’re in the waiting game for AF together. Just want to get it over with and move on to next cycle

@WF1990 that is very strange and good that you’re speaking to the GP about this. I thought they said your progesterone results were within normal range? Sorry if I got that wrong, very frustrating you’re getting conflicting pieces of information.

I don’t think we’ll have much of a chance to DTD around next ovulation as we’ll be on holidays in very close quarters with family

WF1990 · 28/07/2025 08:29

Morning girls, my period was 2 days of pink blood. So so frustrating, taking an appointment with my gp today and contacting the hospital.
I took a frer just in case and it’s negative so I will put this on the lack of progesterone. I was on 18 nmol, which was borderline but I have now just read that the nhs guideline is 30 nmol … arrrrg
anyways!
I hope everybody is fine, @EllieWales@KayleaaaI hope you get your answer soon 🀞🏼

OP posts:
Kayleaaa · 28/07/2025 08:25

17dpo and no signs yet πŸ€·πŸ»β€β™€οΈ Wanting the witch to just show now as I have the day off so would be a perfect time!
Fingers crossed for everyone still in with a chance!

EllieWales · 28/07/2025 08:07

Another BFN at 12dpo so I’m out and waiting for AF to arrive now

Lh4503 · 28/07/2025 07:21

@LovelyMuddles the dark purple colour sounds promising, that's a symptom of pregnancy! Evening wee isn't the best especially so early, I don't think your out🀞

EllieWales · 27/07/2025 21:27

@LovelyMuddles let us know how you get on tomorrow. 10 dpo is still early for a positive especially with an evening wee. There’s still time

LovelyMuddles · 27/07/2025 20:54

Evening all, it’s the evening of 10dpo here and got a BFN. I know it’s early still and evening wee, but feels like I might be out. My boobs are so sore though and have gone a dark purple colour which makes me think I’m having some sort of progesterone overload or something. I think when I do get AF it’ll be a particularly nasty one. I’ve decided to test daily up until 15dpo then declare myself out

EllieWales · 27/07/2025 18:41

@Kayleaaa hope you get your answer soon, the not knowing is worse than a bfn sometimes!

@WF1990 that is very odd, might be worth speaking to them if it happens again! I think I’m out to be honest AF is due tomorrow/Tuesday at the latest, I’ll try another test in the morning but accepted it will probably be a bfn.

DP has just had a meltdown over our 2 year old DS being a nightmare AGAIN and I’m not sure a BFP would be well received right now πŸ˜‚

Kayleaaa · 27/07/2025 15:43

@elliewales never which is weird, everything has been clockwork for years so a bit odd this time! I've been ttc on and off for years so I'm no stranger to the disappointment though haha

NatalieSF · 27/07/2025 14:28

Hey πŸ‘‹πŸΌ

Just an update. AF started for me yesterday so officially on cycle 3. Hoping to BBT more effectively this month but for now just waiting for AF to finish and wait for those fertile days. Sending baby dust to all ❀️

WF1990 · 27/07/2025 08:57

Morning ladies, I have all fingers crossed for everybody still waiting !
i think I’m just having the lightest AF on my side as the sanity test this morning was negative! Very odd, it must be an off cycle, I just hope it doesn’t happen again or I’d have to address this with my consultant as I’m pretty sure a 2 day period filling one pad isn’t that healthy lol.
@EllieWalesi hope you end up with a bfp !!!!

OP posts:
EllieWales · 27/07/2025 08:26

@WF1990has AF come full flow yet? It’s so cruel for her to play tricks! You could still be in with a chance if not and given the sore boobs!

@Kayleaaa Do you usually have a long luteal phase or irregular cycles? I’ve started tracking bbt this month but not sure yet what my typical pattern is.

I can see a vvv faint line too @LovelyMuddles let us know how you get on this morning.

I wasn’t so aware of potential symptoms yesterday because we were busy so they’re either usual LP symptoms dropping before AF comes or I just wasn’t as aware.. I’ve been having vivid dreams the last couple nights though and dreamt I gave birth to a baby the size of a 10 month old last night πŸ˜‚ no test this morning going to try again tomorrow. Wishing those of you testing again this morning the best of luck 🀞
