AF due 20th July / 5DPO - Who Wants to Test With Me??

[BambooBambii]

Hello!

Some of these threads are HUGE and I'm feeling a bit lost, so I'd thought I'd make a new one for anyone who is due their AF Wednesday 20th July (or thereabouts!) and are 4/5 DPO.

Symptoms so far
1-3DPO - Nothing
4DPO - sore boobs and lots of clear CM (sorry!)
5DPO - very sore lower back right in the middle, sore bbs + AF style cramps

A little about me... I've suffered x2 miscarriages over the years, one at 6 weeks and the other at 10 weeks (had a D&C). Horrible experience but hoping for a sticky bean this time! So technically I'm trying for my 1st.

Would love to know a bit about you as well and hope we can test together - and try to keep sane while waiting! Good luck everyone

Hi guys yeah this post will definitely merge into August!! We'll keep it going for as long as we need

Until EVERY last of us is fertilised Hahaha. Still no Af. Still Bfn (all of these are ics though so I'm not too sad. Frer coming soon)

Fx for a BFP on FRER olguitha

Glad we're keeping the thread going

I wish I could come on. Like is so upsetting to get Bfn after Bfn and nothing! I have accepted I'm not pregnant now. I just want to be able to try again. Ugh.

Exactly what I was thinking Olguitha! Hahah! So sorry to hear about your BFNs! Has it ever been this late before?!

no it hasn't! only once and it was a MC.
Plus today I got news that I've been chosen to participate in a very special part of the Great North Run (like I might be on the press and stuff) so I have to train and i'm scared that i might go too hard and it might not be good for the baby if i am pregnant.
i am v. frustrated. can you guys tell?

Any news olguitha?

How's everyone else doing? I'm on CD3 now so hoping AF is on her way out & we can get busy I'm excited about the IC OPKs arriving so I can go POAS crazy. Ha ha!

CD6 for me. My cycles seem sooo long though. I won't ovulate until CD20 ish. Will keep checking with OPKs from about cd12 though as my cycles aren't that regular yet. Hope something happens for you soon Olguitha Sooo frustrating!
Exciting to be poas Purple It's just good to feel proactive sometimes
I wanted to see what you ladies thought. That AF was my third 'real' one after my initial withdrawal bleed from the pill. All three have started with awful AF cramps which only last for arrival of AF then it's a normal flow for a few hours then so light for maybe 3/4 days and then that's it. Before the pill is have medium periods for around 4/5 days. So sorry for the TMI but just worried that periods like this might not be good? Does anyone have any suggestions or info?

How long was your last cycle poppy? I'm not sure what's 'normal' but I have quite short (3 days) & usually relatively light periods. I've just always thought myself lucky and I successfully conceived DD with no problems so it hasn't caused me any issues. Not sure if that's helpful

No it is - thank you! Last cycle was 31 days and the one before that 30. It's not so much the cycle length but more the later ovulation makes it seem like a long time until my fertile week. When are you going to start using the OPKs Purple? Do you know when you usually ovulate?

Absolutely nada yet guys!
poppy you kay have a very short luteal phase. Your TWW is more like a long ww so at least there's that.

Hi all, great to see the BFP's!
I'm on the OPK's again, either CD 10 or 12, AF was a bit on and off, No smileys yet but hoping for one in next few days.

First time temping this month as well, seems straight forward so far... Is anyone else temping / fertility friending? My temp was definitely higher after the weekend nights when I'd had wine but back to pre weekend levels now so hopefully steady ready to spot a spike xx

I can't believe I'm saying this but I'm finally on my period and I'm soooo happy!!
Omg

At least your mind will be at rest now Olguitha I'm pretty happy to hear she showed up too you can get testing with us August folk!

Back in the club! !

How's everyone doing? Are some people approaching their FW soon? Ovia says mine starts on Wednesday but I'm going to start using OPKs this weekend so will see what they say...

Flashing smiley this morning.... Heading home! ❤️❤️❤️

Waiting for my OPKs to be delivered (get far too excited about the post!) I feel like everything's been messed up due to AF arriving 3 days early so deffo need the OPKs!

Yay for the smiley swimming

Hope the OPKs arrive soon mighty

Any post mighty?? Second flashing smiley this morning, I reckon a solid tmw!

Hey guys!! Anything new? I'm still bleeding and sad cos now we're not cycle buds.
Hope there's loads of "insemination" going on with you guys!!

Aw olguitha hope the bleeding stops soon. What cycle day are you on? I'm CD9 now so entering FW the middle of next week. My IC OPKs arrived so will start going POAS crazy from today

Hi ladies,
I hope AF is gone soon olguitha When is your FW? Yey to the poas purple I'm going to order some more today so they should hopefully arrive early next week. I'm on CD12 now so should be in FW Wed/Thurs next week. Hope the DTD has gone well swimming Are you now in the 2ww?

Fifth yes FIFTH flashing smiley today, temperatures flat and CD16, doesn't feel good for ovulating. 😂How's everyone else's POAS going?

Hope you get a static soon swimming

I'm having a bit of a nightmare with the Clearblue opk. Last month I got an empty circle CD9 then straight to static on CD10. Phoned CB who said false positives are impossible so it must be right but I then had a 28 day cycle. I know a LP of 18 days isn't impossible but it's unlikely. So anyway I thought maybe I'd done something wrong when testing so hoped this month would be better but I got the same today! I phoned them again & they've agreed to test the device for being faulty. I know it's wrong as I have only a faint line on ICs. Anyway it's just frustrating!

I think I'll stick with the ICs from now on! DTD this morning just in case though
