I'm on CD51 with no signs of af. It's actually getting me down now (I'm definitely not pregnant.)

cakeanytype · 30/12/2017 20:54

Baubles I remember last month ... I think u posted the pics on dec post ... ? It happened to me the month before and I remembered thinking that's exactly wht happened to me ... I gt crap lines went to the docs etc thy confirmed I was pregnant with a blood test etc ... it lasted till 6 weeks .. I knew it was going as it felt odd n lines would not improve ... started bleeding ...

Anybody able to tell me which bus I should be on please? (putting it down to the wine (and French cheese Hmm) tonight but can't stop laughing at the double meaning Grin so easily pleased)

Had assumed expected / hoped for BFP this month = on the bus, and AF = hop on the next. True? Or completely misunderstood? Thanks!

Yes I will or someone else will create a February bus shortly. Hop on the bus which you af or bfp is due...im usually the first or second of the month so I tend to be on both at once for a couple of weeks! @MrsDub

Cd30 here. BFN, boooo. I will be hopping on the Feb bus as soon as AF arrives 🤦🏼‍♀️

LostMyBaubles · 30/12/2017 22:42

Yep cake I posted the pics there

Wow.
So not trying to get my hopes up lol but I'm usually constipated before af due tomorrow and atm I've got the runs lol

I might have picked something up as mouth tastes weird but I've only ate what everyone else has and they are fine!

Nipped were burning and hurting before and boobs felt hard. cant believe I just put that lol

Eldest said oh wow yes we are having another baby I said how do you know if indont he said if i tell you it will sound rude pointing at me lol

I’m so annoyed with myself. Basically, it’s our first cycle and I was all like, “I’m going to enjoy it and not over analyse or do extra testing or anything.” This has not happened.

Started doing OPKs stupidly on CD13. This is as dark as the line has got and it is now CD16. Is this still -ve? Could I still ovulate? Or did I start doing OPKs too early and have missed seeing the LH surge?

So irritated with myself for getting wound up about things on my first cycle.

Sorry posted twice. Picture wouldn’t attach first time around. Angry

BaliBound · 30/12/2017 23:21

@lostmybaubles Those symptoms sound good, Im hopeful for you! Are you poas tomorrow morning?

Bumplovin · 30/12/2017 23:30

@jubbablub it's my first cycle too and I was at first happy to just be trying thinking at least there's a slight chance I'll be pregnant if we try on the right days but oh no I've decided I just really want to get a bfp this month and have been over analysing. With regards to the opk hopefully someone with more knowledge can advise as I've only used opks for 1 month but that looks quite a strong line to me

Bumplovin · 30/12/2017 23:32

My lines were like that for a day or so then got a strong one

HoneyCake86 · 30/12/2017 23:40

Its certainly crazy at times but i wouldnt change it. My eldest boy is super good at maths due to his autism giving him the ability to super-focus on subjects like number, science, physics, logic... autism makes them who they are ❤️

I too am saving for a bigger car. It was ok when i was single mum of 4, cos my car have 5 seats. But now dp is here and we are ttc we cant get away with it much longer, lol. Jubba that looks so close to +. Have you tried any other brands? Maybe some just dont have as good dye as others maybe?

jubbablub · 30/12/2017 23:47

I did that one today in the afternoon. Are you supposed to use fmu for them? It just seems like I’m going to ovulate too late in my cycle for anything to happen. If it’s a positive tomorrow then that’s a CD19/20 ov day. My cycle is normally 29 days.

cakeanytype · 31/12/2017 00:08

That line is quite strong though🧐.... well my oh has decided belly ache is to bad n says he has no energy !!!! R u joking ... in my head I'm thinking omg I'm about to ovulate ... but he doesn't know tht he wud think I'm a psycho.... tried everything spooning ... yawning loudly... coughing.... eye lash flattering ... pfffttttttt

MrsDub · 31/12/2017 00:31

Fab, thanks @Owlpatrol makes sense! Good luck for Jan everyone, happy new year x

BaliBound · 31/12/2017 06:10

Argh I have barely slept, the laat 2 nights have been awful but last night in particular. I always sleep brilliantly so this is annoying. Typically, I've got a full day of my physical hobby today. Not quite sure how I'll manage with barely any sleep Sad

LostMyBaubles · 31/12/2017 07:25

Cake literally jump on him in the morning lol
It works Wink

I'm a lil confused will update soon

HoneyCake86 · 31/12/2017 11:11

Yeah take advantage of the morning wood or give him a choice.... 🍆 or 🥒 😂

LookingAtTheStars89 · 31/12/2017 11:38

Is it normal to not have had a positive opk by day 16? I swear they don't work for me! I've had a bit of ewcm and cramping. I'm using them three times a day and I have a faint line but nothing bold yet. Am I just a bit weird? Lol

Well I'm feeling a bit sad now. Did one last ic this morning and bfn I'm 14dpo so I know I'm out. Fully expect spotting to start tomorrow Sad I can't motivate myself today. I've put off making plans for new years because I really wanted to be pregnant and not drink...i can't think about dieting or going back to work on Tuesday. Honestly 2017 can do one but not yet ready to face 2018!

LookingAtTheStars89 · 31/12/2017 11:53

@Owlpatrol. Sorry you're feeling crap. I can't wait to say goodbye to 2017 either!

LostMyBaubles · 31/12/2017 11:53

Looking sometimes you might miss the surge as it's only high for a little bit
So if your testing 2pm could be your highest was at 6pm but you missed it as you tested early?

LostMyBaubles · 31/12/2017 11:54

I think I might have squinter

My cam doesn't work very well
It's a little darker irl
And the bottom one is 2am this morning and top one around 7ish

Some sort of very very faint line on the test but you'd expect it to be darker??
