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

BFN here. But same as purple, could just be too early. The months not over until AF!

Anyone else testing this weekend? Hoping for some happy news from someone!

Sorry for the AF olguitha and the BFNs. Feeling a bit down today as I'm pretty sure AF is going to arrive. Did you test today mighty? I'll give it a few more days then test if AF doesn't arrive but I really don't think this is our month. I came off the pill in April so I know it's still early days but it's so hard when you've DTD at the right time and done everything you can for it not to happen again. Just hope there's nothing 'wrong' and it will just happen for us soon.

Try not to be too down poppy even if we do everything right there is still only a 25% chance each month - it's just luck of the draw I think! There's an excellent chance next month could be the one.

I've just tested with FMU and its a stark white BFN - not even a tiny sniff of a line, plus these eBay tests I bought seem to bleed horribly!

Going to see if DH fancies going out for tea somewhere nice tonight to take my mind off it all. Boo to your bfn. Hopefully it's just still too early. How long are your cycles usually?

pink funny you should mention twinges I seem to have a persistent one on my left hand side but probably grasping at straws now I'm sure we'll know soon enough!

olguitha sorry to hear it!! Has the witch definitely arrived yet?

purple when are you next testing sorry to hear about the BFN I don't think I want to test again actually!

almo not you too!! Fx! C'mon even if we get at least one BFP it'll make it all worthwhile lol.

Guys. Guys i'm back in. It didn't ever got more than a drop so mauve it's IB.

poppy Ooh that sounds nice, what sort of food cheers you up? My CDs are always 31 give or take. Always due on 20th. Really really don't think it's my month, instinct ain't feeling it haha.

Oh my God!!! That's so exciting I'm so pleased to hear it Olguitha! when are you testing??

I don't know mighty as it's supposed to take 4 days from implantation. So maybe

Oooh sounds hopeful olguitha How common is implantation bleeding?
Mighty I eat anything! Maybe fancy chinese tonight though. Will see what he says as he's been working today.

Eek that's exciting olguitha

Sorry to hear about the BFNs

I'm going to try and wait as long as possible to test again mighty. As I don't know when AF is due it's a bit confusing so I'll see how I feel on Wednesday if still no sign of AF.

I'm cheering myself up with a giant bar of mint aero while DD is napping Hope your OH agrees to a meal out poppy, sounds like just what you need

Aero also sounds good Purple I've got far too much of a sweet tooth and would probably eat the lot. I'm the same as you with regards to AF. Came off the pill in April and cycles are pretty regular but have varied slightly in length. Ovia says AF due Monday but I think I ovulated later this month so I think more likely Wednesday? Most things seem to be the same as last cycle though so will just have to wait and see. I'm currently CD28 and I think 8dpo. Got my positive OPK on CD19 so could be 9dpo. Is this similar to any of you?

Similar in that I recently came off contraceptive (implant out at end of May) so I'm a bit all over the place with my cycles too. Implant out on 30th may then I had my first AF for years on 25th June. I'm not sure when that cycle officially started though hence my confusion

I used CB digital adv OPK this month & got a peak reading on CD9 but that seems really early! So I don't know whether to believe that either. Ovia says I'm on CD22 today...

poppy it seems to be 1 in 3 people. So I have great hope!

BFN this morning but no AF. so i'll keep the faith and not test again until I'm actually due on the 20th.
I defo stopped spotting and I'm more creamy than anything, So that gives me hope.

How's everyone else? I'm dying for good news!

CD29 9dpo and still not any real 'symptoms' to report. Yesterday was feeling exhausted and actually had a short nap which is a bit unusual for me. That literally could just be anything though. Ovia says AF due tomorrow but that would only give me a luteal phase of 10 days when it's been twelve the past two cycles so I think more likely Wednesday (but hoping not at all!) Hope AF stays away for you Olguitha are your cycles usually pretty regular? How is everyone else doing?
I'm thinking I might not waste a test until AF is actually late which I think would be sort of Friday? Fx for good news soon!

I've decided not to test again until at least Wednesday, can't take the disappointment!

Ah bad news for me ladies just gone to the loo and AF has started 3 days early! Can't believe it, I'm never early. Good luck to the rest of you

Sorry to hear that Mighty 😟 Don't think I'll be far behind you. At least you can focus on your next cycle now. Are you going to do anything differently?

Oh mighty I'm so sorry to hear that . I really don't think this is my month either so will probably see you over on the August bus

Aw it's fine honestly at least I won't have another 3 days of wondering! I'll still be on this thread to test in August, hope you'll join me! Good luck to you all xx

poppy with me being early I think I'll defiantly be buying some OPKs, so I can try and track it better as my ovulation dates might be out of sorts now. I'll keep taking folic acid and omega-3. I really hope we get a BFP on here!

I just use the cheapie ones from Amazon. I've had positives both cycles I've used them and I just find it reassuring to know I'm getting a positive around the time of dtd.

I'll check them out I want the reassurance too

happy 100th post!

mighty sorry to hear that, great to hear your positive attitude though and reassuring that all if us not lucky this time will be able to try again together next month.

olguitha me too! Going to try to restrain myself from testing again before AF due weds. Was never confident I timed things right this month so fully expect to be back ttc with the remainder of our group in a few weeks though.
