AF due today but no sign of it and no sign of AD cramps either, but BFN this morning. Bah.

BandhaAid · 31/10/2017 18:21

AF cramps*

Hello all. I'm new and not sure of all the lingo yet but here goes!

34
TTC #1
Cycle #1
AF/BFP due 19th November.

Trying not to get too obsessed at this stage but it's proving difficult!

LostMyBaubles · 31/10/2017 20:53

All these tricks our bodies are playing! Defo in line with Halloween!

I go for my coil out tomorrow!

Should have done a opk but managed to dtd this morning either way

Had some pain on my left side at the bottom? Could he ovulation pain?

Foreverretro · 31/10/2017 22:13

@LostMyBaubles Good luck!! I had mine out 3rd September - remember that sometimes it takes a while for your body to get back to normal (my first cycle was 45 days) but I hope you’re one of the lucky ones Smile

LostMyBaubles · 01/11/2017 05:41

Thank you
Not been able to sleep lol

PabloEscobarlo · 01/11/2017 06:45

Well I’m sad here. BFN I know I’m out and my body has been playing tricks. We’ve ordered a sperm test, some pressed and soft cups.

Everywhere I go there’s pregnancy. Family members, work colleagues, friends and I feel like I can’t get away from it. Simple magazine pages, adverts on the tv. Everywhere.

Flatwhite32 · 01/11/2017 06:48

Sorry to hear that @PabloEscobarlo. How many dpo are you? I know how you feel. I had a missed miscarriage at 12 weeks in August and seeing babies and pregnancy everywhere is so so hard! Your period then turning up makes it even worse! Lots of chocolate and being kind to yourself is an order. X

PabloEscobarlo · 01/11/2017 06:51

Sorry for
Your loss @Flatwhite32 ,
It really is everywhere.
We don’t know when I ovulated, no positive opk and temps erratic but think from other signs I did ovulate around cd15 of 30. I’m due af on the 4/11 so 12dpo.

Fia256 · 01/11/2017 06:52

Ah sorry your feeling down today @PabloEscobarlo. I know the feeling with everyone being pregnant.
We had a friend announce her pregnancy the other day, and I know my closest friend is pregnant but she’s not said anything yet and it’s frustrating me a bit (for a few reasons I won’t go into)

AF is now a day late for me. Still not come on! BFN yesterday though. So I’m going to wait it out, if nothing happens today or over night then tomorrow I’ll go and waste another tenner on a frer! Getting so irritated by it all this month now

MamOfFrankie · 01/11/2017 07:19

For anyone else symptom spotting: www.twoweekwait.com/bfpsymptoms/dpo/page8.html

I am trying not to get my hopes up, but everything went a bit nuts over the past two days, culminating with a TINY amount of spotting yesterday (which I totally would have missed if I hadn't been wearing white underwear) and deep cramps this morning at 10dpo. Fx for everyone!

Owlpatrol · 01/11/2017 07:27

I totally feel you @PabloEscobarlo and @Fia256 everywhere!
My cramps are worsening this morning so I believe AF will rear her head at the weekend. I was totally upset yesterday with my BFN and I told my DH and he was great at first then said he doesn't want me to spend so much money on tests! He's right obviously to say to wait till AF missed before taking one but it's so frustrating.

I'm so confused this month looks like a lot of us have had tricks played. I've had cramps since ovulation and sore boobs which never happens! So next month I won't have a clue what's happening

Somethininthewater · 01/11/2017 07:30

Sorry everyone is on a downer today. I’m right there with you... 17dpo, frer bfn, OPK still very positive, no af either. What’s going on?!

Somethininthewater · 01/11/2017 07:43

2 days of ‘ovulation’ 16 days after the last ‘ovulation’...? Feel like crying out of frustration!

LostMyBaubles · 01/11/2017 07:45

Somethin I've had a few positive opks which is very confusing!

It's really nice to see that even though everyone is going through a shitty time this thread is providing support for everyone

Flowers for everyone x

Fia256 · 01/11/2017 07:50

Wish I knew what was going on with you @Somethininthewater it must be so frustrating!

I don’t think it could be pregnancy that’s causing the positive opk, purely because you need a lot more hcg to get the opk to be positive compared to a frer. Can see a shadow of a line on the frer but I think that’s the indent line (I’ve done too many myself over the months to know this now Blush) so basically if the opk is showing positive you should have a clear as day frer.

I could be totally wrong though! And I hope I am!

peterpanwendy · 01/11/2017 07:52

I also am on a downer :( CD28, roughly 11dpo, BFN on a FRER! But lots of symptoms and absolutely no sign of AF which is due anytime between yesterday and Monday (I have stupid cycles). What’s going on :( don’t wanna keep wasting money on tests but going a little bit loopy!

Somethininthewater · 01/11/2017 07:59

Thanks fia... that’s my thinking too... now my Ovia app is saying AF is due tomorrow?! God knows why? I said I ovulated on 15th October! Think I’m going to go back to the old fashioned method of ‘just shagging’! It’s worked faultlessly 3 times before and I was never this bloody stressed out(or skint!)

Fia256 · 01/11/2017 08:03

We are also going to go by that method as soon as this never ending cycle comes to an end! As with you, worked straight away with my first two, it’s only once I started doing everything I could to “aid” it it starts messing me about!

We all seem to be having a rubbish start to November! I just really want AF to start. I almost don’t want a bfp now as I think if I did, with the spotting and taking so long, I’d be 100x more worried about another loss. At least if af shows I can start fregg

Fia256 · 01/11/2017 08:03

Fresh not fregg

Fia256 · 01/11/2017 08:08

Ah prayers have been answered! AF has arrived!! and definitely has this time! I’m so relieved to just be out of limbo! As I’ve just said, rest of this month I’m not buying opks or temping or anything. Just going to see what happens!

Merrz · 01/11/2017 08:13

Was speaking to DH last night and think we're also going to forget the opks this month, in fact think we're going to give our selves a break until the new year now, not stop trying but just forget opks etc and see if the no stress method works Hmm

Somethininthewater · 01/11/2017 08:24

So ‘happy’ for you fia!
Think the caveman method is the way to go for now. I refuse to let science Hmm get in the way of nature! This is only our 1st month TTC so I’m thoroughly pissed off that it’s gone so haywire!

LostMyBaubles · 01/11/2017 09:23

It's all become so bloody complicated with science in the way!

Good luck ladies

Going for my coil out in 2 hours!

Fia256 · 01/11/2017 09:31

I don’t believe this. Back to spotting. Again. Every time I’m convinced AF is starting it seems to be linked to bowel movements! This morning seemed like the real deal, dark red blood when wiping. But just got to work now, went loo, nothing when I wiped and no sign of af again. Normally as soon as that dark red blood appears that’s it, af is in full swing. Think a trip to the gp is in order now as I’m worried something’s up!
