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

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 Smile

pink Oooh all sounds promising! Really similar to me, I never feel sick so hopefully thats a good thing for us! I usually get sore ta-tas though so not really counting that! Fx!

olguitha every pregnancy is different, often no symptoms at all can also result in a bfp Smile its so hard not to overthink it though! We'll know soon enough next week Star

Justkeepswimming99 · 14/07/2016 22:07

I am 99% convinced I'm out, every symptom has just turned into exactly like the day before I'm due AF, not sure they'll be any testing for me this month.

Still got everything crossed for you all, i always think there is a small positive in being on CD1 in that if that month is going to be your month your already technically 1 day pregnant!

I'll be watching carefully Sat am for all the results coming in, keep the faith! xx

MightyLightningMouse · 14/07/2016 22:23

swimming Aw really?? There is still every chance you could be! Smile when are you due for AF again? Pregnancy symptoms can often mimic PMS.

Of course there is absolutely no pressure to test, but do keep us updated with any news! To be totally honest I'm not feeling that hopeful myself, just trying to keep positive (no pun intended) Flowers

olguitha · 15/07/2016 07:28

I tested. Got nothing. Trying not to be upset as there's still 4 or 5 days til af is due.
It's sad nonetheless.

Pinkpetal12 · 15/07/2016 07:52

I am also going to test today, just waiting for the postman for my pregnancy test delivery! Haha.
Although I also think it will be negative but I am a poas addict x

MightyLightningMouse · 15/07/2016 11:07

I tested aswell (peer pressure Grin) .... Aaaand BFN! Trying not too feel too disappointed but can't help it! I'll test tomorrow then after that I'm gonna try and wait for AF Sad

Almostamy · 15/07/2016 11:15

I read some stats yesterday on early tests. Can't remember the numbers unfortunately but not as good as I had hoped. So don't be too disappointed yet ladies, it may be just too early! Fx for you all!

Pinkpetal12 · 15/07/2016 13:27

BFN as usual :(

MightyLightningMouse · 15/07/2016 13:45

I do honestly believe I'm out this month ladies. All symptoms apart from sore boobs have completely gone. Absolutely nothing to suggest pregnancy but we shall see on Wednesday! Sorry to hear of all the BFNs so far!

Justkeepswimming99 · 15/07/2016 14:17

As expected, AF has arrived.... What a rubbish day, can't wait to see DP, glass of wine. The Nice massacre is making me feel sad and angry as well, I love Nice and such a shocking horrible way all those people have died. Puts it in perspective though. Big good lucks to those still not officially out, positive thinking all the way xxx

PurpleHaze1 · 15/07/2016 16:00

Can I join you ladies?

I think I'm either 11 or 12 DPO. Not really any signs although I did convince myself that I had a strange metallic taste in my mouth this morning. I wouldn't be surprised if I imagined it completely though! Hmm

Having said that, I had absolutely no pregnancy symptoms until about 5 weeks with DD (she was a bit of a surprise!) so I wouldn't assume no symptoms means you're out.

I'm trying to hold out until Tuesday to test...although I might do a sneaky test on Monday...or maybe Sunday.. Wink Grin

PurpleHaze1 · 15/07/2016 16:01

Sorry to those whose AF has arrived Flowers

Poppydm · 15/07/2016 16:46

Hi ladies, just catching up.
Sorry to hear of AF swimming It sucks Sad I suppose at least you're not waiting now though and can have a nice glass of wine and concentrate on your next cycle. I honestly can't believe how hard and stressful this ttc is. I was so naive. I remember bricking it if I was an hour late with my pill! Really hope next cycle is your bfp. Sending hugs anyway.
mighty sorry for your bfn. Still mega early days though and a lack of symptoms doesn't mean anything. How many dpo are you now?
Hi to everyone else Smile

I'm 7dpo now and not really got anything to report. Keep feeling a little crampy but nothing significant, having quite vivid dreams but that's about it. fingers crossed though. We did everything we could this month and I'm pretty hopeful that we got the timing right so what will be will be. keep me posted with how you're all getting on xxx

Almostamy · 15/07/2016 18:27

Welcome purple!

swimming, sorry this month wasn't the lucky month for you. Hope you have a good weekend with DP and enjoy your Wine tonight.

MightyLightningMouse · 15/07/2016 19:31

Aw swimming I'm sorry to hear it!! I'll keep this thread going as long as we need, so keep popping back and fx for next month - enjoy that wine! Wine Totally agree about Nice it's a senseless and devastating tragedy. My mum is half French and lives in France, she's inconsolable about whats happening there, up to 10 children reported dead - horrifying.

purple Hi yes of course! Welcome. Think most of us are testing tomorrow, so you can start then if ya want Grin When is AF due?

poppy I think I'm 8DPO at the moment, not 100% sure. It's quite nice not feeling sick at the time though!! Vivid dreams can definitely be a symptom! Its getting harder now as AF draws closer, don't you think? I just want to know!

PurpleHaze1 · 15/07/2016 19:38

Ahhh mighty don't tempt me please tempt me Grin I might test tomorrow then, maybe!

I'm really confused about my cycles as only got the implant out at the end of May so I'm not sure when AF is due. Sometime next week I think... Hmm

MightyLightningMouse · 15/07/2016 20:10

Haha purple! - Right thats settled, see you all here tomorrow morning with your results Grin I should really be testing more Mon/Tues - but sod it, I bought a load of tests so might as well use 'em! Bloody eBay makes this far too addictive Hmm

Poppydm · 15/07/2016 21:29

I'm thinking this isn't my month. Been adding my data into Ovia and my 'symptoms' look pretty much the same as last month which was a bfn. Got my fingers crossed for you all for tomorrow. Will check in and see how you've all got on.

Justkeepswimming99 · 15/07/2016 21:34

Thanks all for your lovely comments, lovely to know you're all there xx

MightyLightningMouse · 15/07/2016 23:25

Are you still going to test poppy? I really am feeling the same but until AF comes I still have that teeny bit of hope! Btw have any of you guys read about pg symptoms are basically a rise in progesterone from ov and you shouldn't start symptom spotting until at least 2 days before AF Shock

swimming don't worry, I think I'm out this month too, if that's the case with the others we'll just carry this thread into next month (and the next if need be!)

What are you all up to this weekend? Me and DP have downloaded Pokemon Go so we're off hunting tomorrow Haha! Walked 12,000 steps this evening Hmm I'll be a size 6 by next week!

Good luck for tomorrow everyone! Fx (and get wine in thy fridge just in case!)

olguitha · 15/07/2016 23:37

I think I might be out as I'm spotting today. Usually it starts like that for me. So we wil see. But I am so sad

Pinkpetal12 · 16/07/2016 00:54

2 days before AF due and had around 2 mins of funny sensation directly on my left side, too late for implantation?

PurpleHaze1 · 16/07/2016 07:38

Sorry pink I'm not sure...

BFN for me this morning. It's possibly quite early as I don't really know when AF is due mighty made me do it lol

Will see if AF arrives at some point next week...

Good luck to everyone else POAS this morning. Hope we get some BFPs! Smile

PurpleHaze1 · 16/07/2016 07:38

Sorry about AF olguitha Sad
