Ugh I'm feeling rubbish today. Af is due tomorrow. I just know I'm not pregnant. Got another bfn this morning on my one step strips. I usually have spotting and cramps the day before af but nothing but milky cm today but I'm sure that won't last. Anyone else 14dpo and getting bfn's?

I found those one step strips useless. They say they're really sensitive but mine came up positive way after anything else. I found clearblue gave the earliest line. Id try those or a first response if still no AF. Smile

Bubblegum89 · 07/02/2017 16:11

Thanks claire I've seen a few people say the same. They do my head in because a lot of them have marks on the strip part that look like lines but they're not! If af doesn't show tomorrow (although I'm sure she will!) I'm going to use a frer I think!

Hi everyone!

I am reading through every couple of days. Congrats to Bfps! Seems Feb is a lucky month for quite a few on here! Grin

Nothing much happening with me! Getting a build up of cm now as if my body is gearing up to something! Only cd14 out of what is usually 37-40 day cycle so I still have around 9 plus days till I start the fw Sad will then test sometime in March!

Hope to see more Bfps soon! Good luck all!! Xxx

MistyBxx · 07/02/2017 22:43

Hey everyone!
Some lovely bfp's on this group!! Sooo as I'm just over my Feb af and my fw begins on the 12th, am I on the right bus??
I don't want to leave coz I want your lucky baby dust 😂😍

Bubblegum89 · 07/02/2017 23:03

Ugh. Af got me. Again. Really thought I might be pregnant this time, I had that "feeling". No spotting or cramps during the day which was odd as I usually get that the day before af is due. But alas, 9pm comes around and the cramping starts and when I went for a wee, my cm was tinged pink. So I'm looking forward to the full force of it tomorrow. Shame I can't take my hot water bottle into work :( good luck to the rest of you ladies! My fw doesn't start again until 19th so I've started a March train if anyone wants to join!

MistyBxx · 07/02/2017 23:23

Oh bubblegum I shall look for that now! Also, don't count yourself out til the heavy red lady sings... pink isn't the full force yet lol x

PingusMistress · 07/02/2017 23:30

Oh bummer bubblegum, those months when you think you might be pg are the worst. I had that at Christmas, every symptom going and AF was six days late. I only tested to find out if I could drink at Christmas parties, couldn't believe it was BFN.

Misty why not join both buses for double the luck?

I'm on CD17 and just entering the dreaded 2WW I think. I've had 8 high days in a row on my CB fertility monitor and no peak, but there were two similar lines on the sticks yesterday when there has been one (or one plus very faint other) all other days, including today. I don't know if you are supposed to read the monitor sticks the same way as OPKs! But I would be surprised if I haven't ovulated yet. And we are a bit DTD-ed out and could do with a rest! Grin

MistyBxx · 07/02/2017 23:41

I'm staying on the Feb bus and I've also boarded the march train 🚂😂
Looking forward to seeing some more bfps here before Feb is out! At the end of the month, I will be in my 2ww so can totally cruise between bus and train 😂 x

Mrsbluebell17 · 08/02/2017 06:34

Congrats to lovechild and walking.
Really great news. Seem to be quite a few BFPs this month which is very exciting.

Lovechild can I ask a question? With the preseed, did you use an applicator? I've heard mixed reviews about whether to use that or conceive plus with an applicator or use as a lube. Sorry if it's TMI. Blush

OnNaturesCourse · 08/02/2017 10:36

Hello all. Ive just had a little break from TTC research/symptom spotting/mumsnet after overloading myself with info! I think i already joined the bus but if not my stats: CD 14 (positive ovulation CD 13) AF due: 25 Feb. 1st clear cycle off birth control. 😁 to all the BFPs!!

PingusMistress · 08/02/2017 11:11

So it looks like I should trust technology over my eyes after all, as I finally got a peak on my CB monitor today! There are definitely two lines of a similar darkness on the stick. Pic attached for those interested. First stick was low, last is peak, all others are high.

Feb 2017 bus is ready to go! TTC this month? Hop on.....
Lovechild2016 · 08/02/2017 12:49

I'm rooting for all you girls still on the bus and those who are on the March bus! mrsbluebell no such thing as tmi on mumsnet Smile. Yes used the applicator found it work quite well. I've never had any EWCM so this could have been the key difference that made it happen this month.

Mrsbluebell17 · 08/02/2017 13:06

Thanks lovechild. Great to know, still holding out for my BFP. Think AF is on her way, but not completely here yet. Good luck with your next 9 months Smile

EMHW123 · 08/02/2017 15:05

pingu thanks for the pic, mine look similar but I've still not got a smiley face or anything remotely positive on the digital!

They have definitely gotten darker but still no confirmation 😭😭😭

Glad you're peaking :)

Ohb0llocks · 08/02/2017 15:11

Managed to hold off testing today! Have ordered some cb digis though.

88claire · 08/02/2017 15:21

So this is a serious TMI post. Apologies in advance.

So I've been checking CM as you're supposed to and today I've found this thick white pasty what I can only describe as wet toilet paper looking stuff. It's gross! It doesn't smell but I had it last cycle and actually was so sure it was thrush I treated it. I don't think the treatment made any difference! There's loads of it too....

It's back again In what I think is a similar cycle time (post ovulation). I can't remember seeing it before and the only different was last cycle I got my BFP.

Has anyone experienced this before? I don't want to yet my hopes up its a sign of pregnancy! And at the same time it's gross and I'm worried something is wrong!

So sorry for the TMI! Blush

88claire · 08/02/2017 15:22

Ohbollocks

Very restrained... Well done!!

I have one digi left and determined not to use it until it's to confirm a cheapie 😂

Ohb0llocks · 08/02/2017 16:26

I caved 😁

Bfn obviously

88claire · 08/02/2017 16:34

Ohbollocks

How many dpo are you??

I have a million cheapies lying around which are calling my name....

Gemmaxo · 08/02/2017 16:55

Hi is there a thread for March?

GN06 · 08/02/2017 18:22

Hi Gemma, yep there's a March bus going! X

mrsbarnettsbaby · 08/02/2017 20:29

There's 2! A bus and a train! Take your pick.

Anna2006 · 08/02/2017 21:58

Hi ladies

I don't really know what bus to be on at the minute. I normally ovulate CD14 on average but didn't get positive OPKs til CD18 or CD19 this cycle. I chart my bbt and I've had not obvious sustained rise.

I'm not sure if I've even ovulated and waiting for a random AF to show up or if it's just a weird cycle an there may be a miracle BFP!!

Technically on a normal cycle my AF was due today. But seeing as I maybe ovulated like a whole week late. I've got to just hold out an wait.

What a bummer !
