I had light brown spotting last night and thought it may have been ovulation as i was 11dpo but nope. AF arrived early this morning! Hopefully May will be my the lucky month!

I was convinced this was going to be my month and i was getting lots of symptoms but they all seem to have disappeared now. AF is due anytime between tomorrow and Monday, my cycles have been a bit more varied since my MC in January. There's still hope though so I mustn't give up just yet!! FX though for us all who are still waiting, I think a few of us are all due around this weekend so hopefully there will be lots of Bfp's being shared soon

Hans and Panda I think we are all in the same boat! Period due today, has not arrived yet.
Pocket I've been getting negative tests too. Have you tried a frer? I might try one on Saturday if AF isn't here by then. This tww nonsense is bloody stressful!
for everyone

You guys who are due soon (I'm not due for another week) have you been testing too? In which case are they negatives and you're waiting for AF?
I can't wait to test on Sat (5days before etc) and am a ball of nerves.
FX to everyone

@dontbuyanewmumcashmere - I tested too early, BFN, obviously. AF due Sunday/Monday/Tuesday... can already tell this isn't my month as have period pains, sore boobs and PMS! I will probably torture myself until AF arrives that there is a slim hope... Decided that if I go into a 5th cycle of trying I am buying the digital OPK! This is so frustrating

Hello forever I think we were on the same board together. Bad luck, and fx for you here.
OK thanks, I have read evap lines on MN before but never really knew what they are - Google has taught me and I will be avoiding that pitfall.
Keeping it's awful as many of my pg symptoms are just like pms so I'm sitting here with a bloated tummy telling myself I can feel my womb I actually said this to myself earlier. What a mug. If I am pg I can only be 7 days anyway!
Just turning into an unhealthy obsession.
First pg so straightforward and this mc has really knocked me for six. Even if it is a +ve I will be totally paranoid until 12 week scan. I plan to get an early scan if I do have a result.
Just starting to really over think everything.
I'm so glad I can post here, poor DH must be sick of me chuntering away by now.

Wow a lot has happened in the thread since I last checked earlier hehe!
Han, Scruff and Panda you're not out until you're out lovelies! I hope AF stays away!
Pocket I'm sorry it's so frustrating! I've heard of people having to wait a little while after their missed AF to get a clear result. I hope it's not long for you!
Hi Phoenix! I got a surprise AF last week unfortunately so I'm just waiting for my fertile week again! Not long now hehe
Cashmere hold on in there, I know how frustrating the wait can be. Have you been keeping note of the symptoms?
Keeping I recommend the digital OPKs. I get so confused with the others!
Broody Good Luck for 22nd May! Let us know how it all goes!
Forever sorry for hear of your loss. FX for you!
I hope everyone is well and not going too crazy if you are in the tww!
Sorry for the long post hehe
Xx

Hi Mayes
Opks tell you when you are ovulating, they don't tell you if you are pregnant.
If your Opk is flashing, it means you are near your fertile days (I think it needs to be solid for it to be your day of ovulation).
If you are trying for a baby you should be having sex now. Given that your af finished a week ago, you definitely could be ovulating about now.
It would be unlikely that you have gotten pregnant in the last week and developed such strong symptoms in such a short space of time (and I say this kindly as a rampant symptom spotter myself!!) You need to wait until the day your period is due to take a test - do as I say and not as I do and all that 
Ladies correct me if any of this is wrong!

I don't think you would have conceived if you've had a period since but fingers crossed for you for this cycle!
