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

Sorry to hear that olguitha

So sorry to hear that Olguitha Sending hugs. Thanks for your lovely message purple so nice to have people to talk to on here. I'm off work this week so just been pottering about. DH is off this week too so that's nice. Just a waiting game now. Hope you're all doing nice things today

It's OK. I kinda knew. I was write relaxed about it this month. I feel way better after last cycle. Like que será, será kinda feeling.

Hi ladies, can I join this month please?

Me and hubby trying for our first baby, implant removed over 2 months ago, so cycle 2 for us so far.

I'm CD23 of a normally 22 cycle, so AF was due today. Negative test this morning (well afternoon as I'm working nights currently), but have done a BBT and my temp is dropping so fairly sure AF will come soon.

Thought I had a faint line yesterday, but now think I imagined it. Fx for everyone still in and for next month :)

Hi Brightsmoke this ttc is awful when it plays these tricks on you. Fx for some bfps for us all soon. CD35 and still no AF Wish it would just hurry up so we could get on with our next cycle.

Hi ladies, I hope you don't mind me gate crashing your thread but it looks like my cycle is in sync with many of yours and I will hopefully be testing the same time as you all next month if AF doesn't make an appearance.
Currently on CD4 with a two week holiday coming up with DH during fertile week, so hoping there will be plenty of opportunity to DTD.
Fx for some BFPs for those still in limbo this month x

Welcome bright and JB

Still no AF here. Any sign of it for you poppy? I bought a FRER today, going to test in the morning if still no AF

Hi JB Nope - no sign of AF for me either purple Got everything crossed for you. Let us know how you get on

AF is here. At least I didn't waste a test.

How is everyone else? Have you been taking any supplements this month poppy? Pretty sure AF is late for me because I've been taking B6.

Sorry about AF purple, here's hoping September will be our month!
AF is almost gone for me and normally I'm a bit down in the dumps and feeling sorry for myself at this time of the month but this week I am just hyper for my holiday. Roll on Monday x

A holiday sounds fab JB where are you off to?

Vegas, we reckon it's not the kind of place we will go to once we have a family so pushing the boat out on this one x

Sorry for AF purple everything crossed that this next cycle is the one. Vegas is amazing JB so jealous! Hopefully you can bring back a little bean too CD36 and still no AF The only thing I've been taking is just plain folic acid tablets. I was taking the seven seas trying to concieve tablets but switched at the start of this cycle as they were making me feel a bit funny. Feeling a bit fed up now. Been reading about a few people who just seem to have these randomly long cycles every now and again. I'm just a bit worried in case it's something like pcos or something else that's been masked whilst I've been on the pill all of these years.

Still no AF for me yet! My BBT has started rising again, and I don't feel how I normally do when AF is due, but tests are coming back neg. Urgh, I hate this waiting game!!

How long have you been off the pull purple? When I can off the pill I had various clue lengths from 30 days to 47 days for a year but the last 5 months every cycle has been about 30 days so I think it took a year for me to get back to normal. So it could be post pill weird cycles for you rather than pcos x

Sooo, this just happened...

Congratulations!!!!!

Congratulations brightsmoke! Lovely news

Thanks :) I genuinely thought AF was on her way!! Good luck and baby dust to everyone!! Let's get some more BFP's!!

I'm definitely out Just wishing AF would arrive so I can move forward. CD37 today. Have you told your DP yet?

Are you sure? I was convinced she was coming for me!!

Yeah, he came home and I put some balloons out, pink and blue, tied a pair of boots and a 'for daddy' parcel tag on to them. Wanted to get a little shoe box and put a 'I love daddy' bib in it but couldn't find a bib anywhere :(

Congratulations brightsmoke

Hope you're ok poppy it's so frustrating when you're just waiting on AF. Are you planning to do anything differently next cycle? I'm going to temp...

Ah that's so lovely! Such special times Yeah I did another test this morning and bfn. If I ovulated when I think I did, I'm 17dpo. If I ovulated a few days later I'd be around 14dpo which should still pick up. We haven't DTD since cd20 and its cd37 now I'm fairly sure I'm not I think I'm going to try to temp too purple just go check ovulation as I'm so unsure. I've had positive opks with previous cycles but I didn't get one with this cycle and now this is happening. I've also thought about trying preseed?

I'm worried I'm not actually ovulating too poppy which is why I want to temp as it should confirm it. I've ordered a BBT thermometer so as soon as it arrives, I'll get started. Have you heard of the book Taking Charge of Your Fertility? I think it's a ttc bible so I might look into that too.

Which one did you order purple? Is fertility friend the best app to track it? Yeah I've heard a few people mention that book. Let me know if you think it's worth a read
