Anybody due on Monday (15th) & want to POAS with me?

Hello everyone,

Not been on the boards for a while, and feel some May threads are far too big to join now! Thought I'd make a little one for anyone due AF this coming Sunday/Monday (then join June threads if no BFP).

Quick background: Been ttc since last year with no luck, not even a sniff of a line! Was a regular on conception boards but started it find the whole ttc lark quite stressful so we stopped trying for a while. We are now TTC again but trying to be relaxed about it! Had 2 MC's (one with a D&C) about 3 years ago.

Only symptoms so far is very strong metallic taste in mouth. Normally have PMS symptoms by now but nothing.

Please join and test with me, and stop me going mad! This is the most positive I've felt in ages Grin

Sorry to hear that Nanny. I think I'm going to be out too; period pains have gotten much worse today. They've been extra bad since the MC and tend to come a couple of days before AF arrives, so looks like that fits. FU AF!!!

NannyGR · 11/05/2017 09:08

I'm normally 27/28day cycle always regular even since mc, so guess I could only be one day early! Not in full flow yet just a tiny bit of spotting so holding on to all the hope I have left 🤞🤞

Huge congrats Kitty! Woohoo!

Sorry to hear it Nanny

My cramps are also very strong, not due for another three days and still no sore boobs etc like I usually get, but not feeling all that hopeful!

Whoops sorry @NannyGR my phone died before I could finish! I really hope the spotting is a good sign!! Could be implantation bleeding?? Fx for you.

I've got terrible cramps Hmm I'm so tempted to poas but just have a horrid feeling af is getting ready to appear!

Thank you @RedPanda25! You too! I notice you're going to test on Sunday as well (along with a few others on here) it can't come quick enough!

Ooooh It's so much more exciting with other people GrinI've had so many disappointments that tbh I'm just looking forward to hopefully seeing someone else get a BFP!

Morning ladies, I'm out. AF showed up early hours of this morning so that's another 9 day LP which I understand is quite short.

CD1.....

NannyGR · 12/05/2017 06:35

I'm defiantly out too ladies! The witch is in full flow! You'd think I would be used to this disappointment after 5 years!!

RedPanda25 · 12/05/2017 07:07

So sorry @NannyGR and @BasinHaircut 😢

@BasinHaircut is there anything you can do to lengthen your luteal phase? On anyone thread I read that acupuncture helped someone with theirs?

ForeverHopeful21 · 12/05/2017 07:52

I'm out Sad x

MotherofBoy · 12/05/2017 08:10

Sorry to hear of all the afs Sad

7dpo here, zero symptoms to speak of so not feeling too positive. But if a temp dip this morning but not big enough to be implantation. Long weekend wait commences... testing Monday at 10dpo

CaffeineBomb · 12/05/2017 08:34

Can I join? TTC no 2. Have a 25/26 day cycle so AF due on Tuesday/Wednesday, have very sore boobs but that's not unusual for me before AF. Really want to poas but I know realistically it's too early. Sorry to hear so many AFs are showing up

Kittykat89 · 12/05/2017 08:50

foreverhopeful I have a 33 day cycle and I tested on 10dpo with a positive result, I'd go for it! Excited for some more bfps I hope, good luck and bd everyone x

Kittykat89 · 12/05/2017 08:52

Oh I'm so sorry I thought I'd read the whole thread and hadn't. Sorry this isn't the month. Sad

RedPanda25 · 12/05/2017 08:56

So sorry about all the afs turning up 😢

I'm due on wednesday @CaffeineBomb so we're very similar!! When are you planning on testing?

CaffeineBomb · 12/05/2017 10:51

I haven't decided yet @RedPanda25 I'm tempted to get one of the clear blue early tests and try tomorrow but not sure if I'm better off just waiting it out how about you?

Argh Nanny, Forever and basin so sorry to hear it! I'll probably keep this thread going through to June so you're more than welcome to join any of us there! Good luck for next month! Flowers

If anybody can hold on until Sunday morning I'll be testing then!! Do you think it's too early to test now? (3 days before af) I only have one test and won't be near any shops until Sat!

What symptoms are you all having? I've now got a really back, strong cramps, bad backache, sore boobs and that metallic taste has totally gone! These are all classic AF symptoms Sad

OP posts:
CaffeineBomb · 12/05/2017 12:11

Will try my best to hold off until Sunday. Don't lose hope, when I was pregnant with ds I had an implantation bleed but my other symptoms were the same as before AF so was convinced I was just a couple of days early

RedPanda25 · 12/05/2017 14:04

I'm going to really try and wait till Sunday @CaffeineBomb but I'm not sure I have the self control! I got a bfp with my ds 3 days before af was due so you never know! Plus on the side of th clear blue early detection tests it says they are 99% accurate from 3 days early...

@MightyLightningMouse I've been sick twice this week and feel really nauseous today but I think it's too early to be a sign? I've been symptom spotting like crazy! I hate the TWW! Haha

MotherofBoy · 12/05/2017 14:21

I also had a random bout of nausea today Hmm but then again I am seriously stressed at the moment so it could be that! Argh hate the tww. Also been having cramps most of the day.

CaffeineBomb · 12/05/2017 15:55

I keep looking at the tests and am so tempted to just do one now. Someone talk me out of it, I'm not due on until Wednesday and it's not even fmu so it's a waste of a test isn't it?

RedPanda25 · 12/05/2017 15:57

@CaffeineBomb it's so tempting isn't it?? I tested yesterday stupidly as I was only 9dpo and it was a bfn. I'm definitely going to try and wait longer now, I hated seeing the bfn!

Iamchanging · 12/05/2017 17:58

Hi all, could I join you as I'm on holiday and sending myself insane symptom spotting! Nothing else to do whilst lying on a beach!! I'm 8DPO so going to test on Sunday - seems like there's a fair few of us. Only thing is I have a 25 sensitivity test (don't know what the unit of measurement is) not a first response which I think is 10, so not sure if the is any point in me testing then?

Kittykat89 · 12/05/2017 18:14

Iamchanging I had a positive result on a lower sensitivity test at 10dpo. I'd say it was worth it but not to give up if it isn't a bfp. Good luck to everyone testing on Sunday x

Iamchanging · 12/05/2017 18:23

Thanks kitty Kat - and congratulations. To be honest I'm that desperate to POAS that even if it was the least sensitive test in the world!! Fingers crossed for everyone
