AF due 31st Dec

I already feel like im wishing Christmas away so I can poas!

Been having sensitive teeth and bleeind gums the last few days. Googled in and it seems to happen in the 2ww regardless of if you get af or bfp so might need to buy new toothpaste if this is going to happen every month!

Anyone else due around the same time?

When are you thinking of testing?
Im aiming for 28/29th if I can wait that long :)

Sorry to those AF got. And happy new year. Fx for early 2014 bfps.

I'm now 14dpo and no usual signs of AF. I do have slightly sore boobs, have done for about a week now. Got BFN on Monday and just done a test now and another BFN. Without AF I'm refusing to rule myself out this month. Anyone ever heard of only getting a bfp way after 14dpo? Or is it just wishful thinking?

Sending positive vibes your way toots :)

pebble82 · 02/01/2014 17:15

Any news toots?

I'm now 2 days late and none the wiser. I thought AF definitely had to arrive between 12-16 dpo?? I had all the major OV signs on cd17 so this is weird. Going to retest on Sat if nothing changes. Would do now but no hpts left. Probably for the best as I'd probably just be wasting money looking at BFNs. Have to keep reminding myself that if I am pg then I still will be without the test!

Nothing here either!! Its frustrating huh!! I tested this morning with fmu but bfn. Im going to wait at least a few days.
I was thinking the same, pg with or without the test!

Im now 16 dpo so maybe by Sunday I'll either have af of bfp!

I clearly dont think im pg, had pate yesterday and been drinking a lot. And I cant remember the last time I took folic acid. Oh jeeeez! Haha

pebble82 · 02/01/2014 18:33

Haha, me too. I got completely hammered on new year's eve. Two BFNs this late on isn't exactly optimistic. I'm more worried about whether I actually ovulated or if it was my body gearing up for it and stalling at the last minute. Wondering whether to see my GP or not next week if still no sign of AF. Haven't spoken to a doctor about TTC at all, have you?

toots123 · 02/01/2014 18:51

Yeah exactly, not really looking good. Im just assuming my af is a bit lost!!

No I haven't. I did mention it to gp that we may stop taking the pill she just said to do it when we like. The start of Dec was my first af after the pill so I aint too worried.
have you been trying long?

ToffeeJungle · 02/01/2014 19:04

I seem to be in exactly the same situation as you toots and pebble!
I think Im 16dpo, have done about 6 tests over the past week but all bfn.
I've been feeling nauseous for the past couple of days, very tired & emotional and no AF.
I just want confirmation that Im pregnant or AF to turn up so I know what's going on!!
I really don't think I am pregnant but I guess until AF shows up there is still hope!

At least we've all got each other ;-)

I'm exactly the same as you toots. 1st AF started 1st Dec after pill for about 10years. Felt first ovulation then got AF 13 days later so was expecting the same this month when felt same thing at cd17. Not massively worried, I'm just a control freak and think the worst. New year resolution should be to chill out!

So glad we have each other. Can't really explain to dh why I want something to happen soon. He doesn't get it and I'm not going to explain to him how cycles work haha.

When will you retest toffee?

Elektra83 · 02/01/2014 22:06

Hi ladies! Crikey pebbles, toots and toffee, you're all in limbo. Not fun, I hope you get bfps soon :)

AF is definitely here and bloody painful too. Meh.

LittleMissSunshine33 · 02/01/2014 22:46

Hi Everyone!

Fingers crossed for all of you that still may be!
I am 2 days into AF and already preparing for this month have got my sticks, vitamins and OPK ready. My DP thinks I need to just stop thinking about it so much ... easier said than done Wink

ToffeeJungle · 03/01/2014 08:52

Im not sure when I'll test again toots - it's my birthday on Monday so was thinking of waiting until then. AF might show up in the meantime though hopefully not then I'll get the best birthday present ever! Smile

What about you and pebbles?

Sorry to hear about the arrival of AF littlemiss & elektra, that's rubbish though at least you know where you are and can get on for preparing for the next cycle.

pebble82 · 03/01/2014 11:08

Considering buying a clearblue test at lunch but kind of resent paying so much. Part of me just thinks I should wait and see, if I am pregnant I still will be without spending £15!!

I am now 3 days late and although I was previously convinced I'm not pg as only managed to dtd once at the right tine, I'm now wondering if bfns are wrong.

Both were Tesco tests (one done the day before AF due, one the day after but late in the evening after drinking lots of water for my hangover!). I've been reading too much about false negatives. Probably just getting my hopes up for no reason.

I stopped temping over a week ago but decided to take it this morning and it's still high. Good sign??

I think I'm going mad! It would be so unlikely to get BFP on cycle 1, especially as my mum took 18 months to have me!

toots123 · 03/01/2014 11:30

Aw a bfp on your birthday would be nice!!

im the same pebble one minute im thinking there's no way this could happen on cycle 1 then I think I am pg and Internet cheapies arent working!
I think I'll give it a week and if nothing then use a frer or cb digi.
I think af will show by then though!

I hate limbo land!

Also doubting myself on when I ov'd. I was so sure it was 17th dec but because of this im thinking did I?!
I had a positive opk the day before, ov pains and cm so surely I did... argggh!!! :(

OP posts:
pebble82 · 03/01/2014 11:44

toots, I'm the same. Sure I OVd on 17th. Sorry for TMI but my cm was too much and pains to obvious to be anything else. Only thing I can think of is that my body geared up for it and never released an egg. That would be rubbish.

Toffee that would be an amazing pressie. Better than chocolates anyday :-D

ToffeeJungle · 03/01/2014 13:25

Thanks, yes it would be the perfect birthday gift! Smile

Like you though Im now doubting if/when I ov'd - I was sure it was around the 18th. I had bad cramps etc too but as it's my first proper cycle for months (had been on the pill too) I guess I can't be sure??

Is cm a good sign?

I also used really cheap tests - 2 for a £1 from Poundland!! - so just hoping they aren't sensitive enough or aren't working at all!!!
I also begrudge paying £15 for a test though as it's my birthday I might treat myself!!

toots123 · 03/01/2014 13:40

Yeah im the same. Pain too sore not to be and they went away the next day so surely its obvious.
Yeah cm at ovulation is a good thing. :)

We can only do what we are doing for now girls. Quite frustrating that we may have to try for a year before knowing if theres something wrong. But chances are we will all get pgbefore that!
We are off to orlando in may so I wont be too crushed if im not pg and can go on the big roller coasters. But dh says we cant put our life on hold just for a holiday so I see his point!

Have either of you been symptom spotting?
Ive tried not to but just remembered (tmi alert) I had brown cm on nye! No idea what it was but assumed af was on her way. And nothing since.

OP posts:
pebble82 · 03/01/2014 14:36

It's impossible not to. I don't feel any different though. Having trouble sleeping but that's probably due to going back to work. Got back ache but suspect that is caused by lounging around for days in bad positions I front of the tv. CM is normal. No headaches. I had sore boobs for the last 1-2 weeks but they're not too bad now. I'm very tired but that'll be because I haven't slept well. Not sure if I should start OPK testing again if I just assume a missed period??

Had to work through lunch so no pg test bought. Might hold out until Monday. Can't decide.

kmonagh82 · 03/01/2014 14:39

Hi ladies ive been reading your posts. My last period was 18th nov had nothing since. (First period after coming off pill) A bit of cramp and backache a couple of weeks ago but no period. Been really nauseous so thought I was pregnant, did a cb digital test 2 days ago but was negative. Disappointed!! Good luck to you all x

pebble82 · 03/01/2014 15:07

Just went to the loo and AF has arrived for me so officially out. Not too disappointed and pleased I'm back on track to try again. Good luck to those still in limbo. Keep us posted. X
