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

Definitely get a tesco one Mighty I was impressed!! How many DPO are you? (Sorry I'm sure your probably answered that above!)

I bought these little shoes, attached them to pink and blue balloons with a tag saying for daddy on. He was so emotional 😂 Soppy sod. I'm only just over 4 weeks, so I really shouldn't be telling anyone yet, but I figured you ladies should be fine! I can't wait to tell my parents, have bought this sign to tell them with! Due 5-8th may depending what I use to calculate :) x

Aw bright that's lovely!! They're so cute and tiny and making me mega broody!! How exciting - and it must be so nice to share your joy, especially at the early stages! Do you have any favourite names?

I don't know how many DPO as I've had no positive OPKs and period has gone crazy (in my original post I was due on 20th like clockwork and it's been getting earlier every month!!)

Bad news on the test front, re tested and it's a definite negative I thought as much! I'll be testing around the 15th onwards now if anyone rose is l (although the way AF has been I'll probably come on tomorrow lol)

Oh mighty I'm sorry the second test was negative

How are you getting on with temping poppy?

Happy Saturday! How are we all

purple ah bless you, no worries, was totally expecting the negative test. Who's started the 2WW?

How are you doing mighty?

I'm only CD11 so not in the 2ww yet. Intrigued to see what (if anything) my temps reveal

Hi Mighty sorry went away for a few days with DH. Favourite names are Peggy and Rupert, but will probably change when we see him/her as I'm like that 😂

Suffering with sickness and nausea ATM

Sorry to hear about AF, have you managed to avoid testing so far still?

Hi ladies, into my 4th 2ww since miscarriage now. Everything seems to suggest I've ovulated, clear blue dual, ic, Ewcm and temps look to have spiked. Have been on hols throughout anything vaguely classed as fertile period so that should deal with being stressy, I would say I'm 2dpo now, maybe 3. Using FF to track but free VIP feature which does all the detail has come to an end, pretty sure I can work most of it out now as clearly conceiving is my new obsession! 😊😊. How you all doing today?

Lovely names bright. I hope your sicky feelings are short-lived.

I'm on CD15 but still just getting faint lines on OPK so not in 2WW yet. Hoping that jet lag and an adjusting body clock doesn't affect ovulation but so far having too good a holiday to really have much time to worry about it just plenty of DTD hoping to catch the egg.

Everything crossed for you swimming! Any plans to test before AF is due? How did you get the free VIP feature on FF?

Hope you're having a good holiday JB

Not sure purple, it was automatic I think 'to show you what you could've won' . Was good but nothing you couldn't figure out yourself xxx

Ah ok maybe I have it already no idea! Would you mind sharing your chart? I'm so new to temping that it'd be interesting to see what a post ovulation one looks like. TIA

Here you go Purple, last months was a bit clearer I think but I can't seem to get it now VIP feature gone. I've been a bit less vigilant this month, like getting up and going to loo before remembering, also some holiday wine involved. I think it still looks like a shift though xx

Thanks swimming that's really interesting. Looks like you did the BD at the right time so fingers crossed for you this month!

I'm on my second day of positive OPK so hoping to see a temp shift in the next couple of days

Fingers crossed swimming! Nice chart

Any update swimming?

How are you mighty?

If you're still reading, hope you're getting on well with temping poppy

I got a rise yesterday morning so am officially in the 2ww...

Yay Purple! Nothing happening here 6dpo so a good few days away from any meaningful POAS x

Hoping to get another rise tomorrow then I'm assuming the crosshairs will appear. Is that how it worked for you swimming?

Hey ladies, sorry I've not logged in for a while. Needed a bit of a break from ttc after my mammoth cycle. Hope you're all well? Lovely names Bright. Fingers crossed for you Swimming I've only just started with charts so still trying to figure it all out. How's yours going Purple? I'm on CD9 and have remembered the past three nights so going to keep tracking it if I can. Just to confirm ovulation mostly. I'm a bit lost on where everyone is. Are many people due to test soon? We could do with some lovely September BFPs

CD 19 for me and got my first positive OPK. Travelling home tomorrow so last chance to DTD today before entering the 2WW.
I agree poppy would be lovely to see some September BFPs!

Hello ladies this is my first time here. I'm ttc and started last cycle. I used the cbd ovulation tests for the first time this cycle and got a positive cd16 so I dtd I'm now on cd 19 so just waiting patiently till poas time

Welcome elles do you know when you're planning to test? We're roughly in sync as I'm 3dpo today...

Hope you had a fab holiday JB

Hope you're feeling a bit better poppy. I've found temping really useful. I used the IC OPKs as well. I got a positive on the ICs on CD12 & CD13 and fertility friend has confirmed ovulation on CD13 (I got a big rise on CD14). I can't believe I ovulated on CD13 this month when I was worried about a short luteal phase last month! I've been continuing with the B6 though so not sure if it's had an affect or if it's just my cycle finally settling down after the implant

Thanks purple. My cycle is always 27 days so af is due next Friday so I'm not sure. I don't want to be a serial poas but it's looking like I might be How about you?

Yes Purple the criss cross appeared after the app thought I'd ovulated. Feeling a bit out of sorts today, every month I swear progesterone symptons make me think I could be pregnant and turns out not to be. Never remember anything this strong before mc. So today temp shoots through roof to highest ever ( but also back home so not in air con room) and there's blood when I go to the loo, then nothing. Don't want to get hopes up for Implantation bleeding as I did have a random 23 day cycle a few months ago, now on cd 21. Boobs feel a bit tender, definitely feel mild nausea, cramps still there. If this is PMS, it's unfair!! 😂😂😂. I was relatively relaxed about it all until the spotting.
Clearly I'll test on the hour for the next two days with my ic's and work myself up😊. Any other symptons out there ladies? xx
