Another bfn for me this morning but still no AF. Not been on contraception since June 16 so my cycle had been pretty regular until now 😟 arrrrh😖 my head is all over the place!

CherryVicky29 · 07/10/2017 21:41

I’m out ladies AF has arrived at only 10dpo and 6days early leaving me with a 22day cycle and confused 😔good luck to all those left to test this month x

Lexieellie · 07/10/2017 21:57

Can I join? My period is 9 days late. TTC number 3.
Test - not sure. Will repeat tomorrow. Fatigue, very tender breasts, funny taste in mouth - feels like pregnancy though I can't be sure. Good luck to everyone.

i'm 13DPO and have had symptoms since 3DPO which are completely outside the norm for me for both ovulation and AF. I tested this morning for the first time and BFN... So disappointed.

I'm basing AF arriving tomorrow on my last cycle which was 29 days but the reality is I don't know as I only came off the pill two months ago and the two cycles i've had since then were slightly different lengths (first was 33 days, next was 29). Feeling lost and in limbo.

I still have the same symptoms today... will be so disappointed if AF arrives this week. Do you think as i'm 13DPO i'm out?

thecolonelbumminganugget · 08/10/2017 09:49

Hey everyone. AF due for me sat/Sun, bfn on a frer this morning so I'm not getting my hopes up plus my chart was all over the place this month but ultimately didn't look like I ovulated (No real temp rise). Had quite painful cramping for the last week, I'll do a normal test if AF not here by this time next week I guess.

Wishing the rest of you all the luck and positivity I wish I had for myself!!

Some idiot posted this on Monday, look what that same idiot got this morning!!

holy shitballs what do I do now

Any October testers?
shortcake76 · 08/10/2017 10:47

I'm still in. Cycle day 43 today. Haven't tested yet as my cycle can be anywhere between 37 and 43 days so not getting hopes up just yet, although have absolutely no AF symptoms, but have had lower back and breasts are really really sore and look veiny - probably reading too much into things. Terrified at the same time that this could be positive...

Upsydasiy · 08/10/2017 10:53

AF was due Friday two days late and bfn yesterday. Feeling exhausted, waves of sickness, always starving (very unusual can normally skip meals don’t eat a lot) but can’t eat much as feeling very bloated and stomach constantly feels full and sluggish, increased discharge (tmi) to the point I keep thinking af has come, my breasts are so tender started with strange tingling in my nipples and now my breasts ache and are painful and swollen! Can’t stand the taste of wine (and I like the odd glass) I need to pee loads and have an unquensable thirst! Have no idea what’s going on with my body 😔 just hoping if af comes these symptoms aren’t a monthly occurrence because it would drive me potty!

Not sure when to retest or if to just assume I’m out and af will come when the hell it please 😂

Sending everyone look for a their bfp!

AnythingNotEverything · 08/10/2017 11:57

Lexie and colonel, looking good! Will keep my fingers crossed.

10 days until I can start testing ... already going out of my mind.

Betsyboo87 · 08/10/2017 12:14

Congrats Thecolonel. Negativity is my middle name right now!

shortcake the lack of symptoms isn’t something to worry about. Have a look at pregnancy symptoms by dpo on countdown to pregnancy and you’ll see loads of ladies don’t have any.

11dpo and I’ve managed to not test. I work from home so I know as soon DH leaves for work tomorrow I’m going to have to distract myself from temptation! My only symptom is lack of spotting and no sore bbs - both of which I usually have by now.

Betsyboo87 · 08/10/2017 12:14

shortcake sorry just reread you said lack of af symptoms! Also a good thing!

Si1ver · 08/10/2017 13:55

@thecolonelbumminganugget that's amazing news! Massive congratulations.
you can start panicking now

I'm still spotting on and off, more off than on. Tests are getting darker, next blood test is tomorrow.

Betsyboo87 · 08/10/2017 14:04

Si1ver I have my fingers crossed for you. Hopefully you’ll see some great numbers.

Upsydasiy · 08/10/2017 14:05

@si1ver good luck for your blood test

Si1ver · 08/10/2017 15:31

Thanks lovelies. First test was Friday and next one is Monday, so I I should expect to see it doubling three times?

PartyintheKitchen · 09/10/2017 12:04

Good luck @Si1ver

Cycle #3

I think I just need to get this out as I can’t explain to anyone in RL. I’m v confused, I have a cycle like clockwork, always 28 days long. I typically ov on day 11/12. I’m CD22, so DPO 10/11 at the moment and I reckon AF has already started. It feels too much like AF to be implantation bleeding, I’ve been spotting since last Fri and this morning there was quite a lot of red blood and brown discharge when wiping (sorry TMI). Loads of preggo symptoms since DPO3 (sore boobs, waves of nausea), but this morning they seem to have disappeared. I stupidly did a FRER this morning which was a BFN. I would typically spot in the luteal phase from CD 22 or so but not by as much as this, I’m driving myself mad overthinking this. This month is all out of whack! I know the best thing to do is to calm down, glue my hands to my sides to stop peeing on sticks, and wait to see if this is full blown AF. So hard to do it though.

I then told DH this morning that AF was possibly here, he gave me a big smile and said “oh well! C’est la vie”. I know he’s trying to be cheery but I wasn’t expecting that response. I’ve kept quiet about all my symptoms as I don’t want to get his hopes up, but I suppose I had gotten my own hopes up and now I’m v disappointed. I also know I should share this with him but I don’t want the pressure of expectation around “news of baby” when it may be nothing, I know from experience that pregnancy doesn’t mean a live baby at the end. How do you all cope with DP/DH involvement around the 2WW? Do you share every symptom or do you just quietly observe and hope for the best? Thanks everyone, sorry for the essay.

shortcake76 · 09/10/2017 12:43

Well CD44 and decided to test as have not had any AF symptoms and got a BFP. I am in absolutely SHOCKED not to mention terrified. I am just waiting for my DH to come home and will re-test then. I am 40 and now I am stressing about everything - it's not sunk in at all.

Betsyboo87 · 09/10/2017 13:26

shortcake76 congratulations! I’m sure you can’t wait for DH to get home. Try to relax!

I’ve started spotting today (12dpo). It’s later in my cycle than usual though so at least that’s something positive.

shortcake76 · 09/10/2017 14:54

@Bestyboo87 - fingers crossed it's implantation.

Wants · 09/10/2017 16:48

Congrats to the bfp's so far!
I'm still waiting for Af to arrive but 2 bfn's must mean I'm out for this month. I've been having really intense 'baby' dreams the last few nights. Sad

Upsydasiy · 09/10/2017 16:57

Spotting so think I’m out 😔

Betsyboo87 · 09/10/2017 17:07

shortcake76 as much as I’d love it to be implantation I’m pretty sure it’s going to lead to af. Feeling pretty fed up tbh, I never thought it would take so long.

HelenofSoy · 09/10/2017 17:58

Hi All,

I'm 32
TTC1
Cycle 1

I'm on CD20 today and BFP due on the 18th. I've been off the pill since July so my cycles are a bit irregular but definitely feeling strange post ovulation. I'm so thirsty, can't sleep at night and have lots of lower back pain and left ovary pain as well as morning nausea and dizziness. I also had pink spotting on CD18. Didn't really DTD that much this month and I'd love to think that it was going to happen but I'm not convinced. Hoping to hold out till the end of my period to test but really struggling with the wait already!

JenNtonic · 09/10/2017 18:43

Hi ladies.
In mmmmmm AF is due on Thursday. We haven't been trying as such but have had unprotected sex 4 times in the last month.... anyway OH is on his way home with FRER tests. Do you think I should test tonight or wait until the morning ? Does anyone know what it says on the instructions?
My boobs are on fire and swollen, I'm breaking wind a lot, have some heartburn, am constantly hungry and SHATTERED.
Many thanks xx

JenNtonic · 09/10/2017 18:54

In mmmmmmm? Erm nope, I just meant "my AF" even my phones gone haywire !

Page123 · 09/10/2017 21:05

Can I join? I’m now 6 days late I had BFN on the day AF was due and 4 days later. Now tempted to test on Wednesday so I’d be 8 days late?
Been having cramps and put off food and a cold so I don’t know if it’s all in head or anyone else is the same?
