I meantweasledee of course!

Heading to the bathroom now ladies Smile

Boboelephant · 09/04/2018 08:22

@hayleyfx I agree with the others.
@Cakelaur how frustrating! Hope you get an answer either way soon.
@Martydog sorry for the bfn but it's still v early. I think you should test again Wed/Thurs.
@HidCat I don't have any answers but why don't you call the EPU for advice?
@randomuntrainedcuntowner sorry for the bfn. Im sure it's not menopause though. What cycle are you post MC? Your cycles can be affected for 6 months after. What are you basing your af due date on? To give you an idea my cycles since MC have been 33 days, 32, 30 and this cycle looking to be 35 based on late ovulation. So one day late may just be your body still regulating. The limbo sucks though so hope you get an answer soon!

Boboelephant · 09/04/2018 08:23

Ooh good luck @weasledee!

randomuntrainedcuntowner · 09/04/2018 08:30

I had an ectopic in September, and my cycle has gone from 28 days (always) pre loss, to 27 days post loss (always). I dd have a chemical pregnancy last cycle, tested positive on a frer for a few days, but period still showed up bang on time.

randomuntrainedcuntowner · 09/04/2018 08:30

@weasledee good luck! 🤞

weasledee · 09/04/2018 08:36

Urgh BFN for me! No surprise as had zero symptoms. Only 10 DPO but would normally pick it up on a frer for me at this stage. Bit fed up.

peachesarenom · 09/04/2018 08:43

You forgot me Boboelephant!!!

I am so fed up weasledee and I only had sex once in my fertile window!

hayleyfx · 09/04/2018 08:52

@HidCat @Cakelaur @boboelephant thank you all! Last night I freaked myself out thinking I wasn’t going to ovulate this month 🤦‍♀️😂 Feeling much better now haha!
@Martydog @weasledee sorry for the bfn Sad it’s still early though!

Boboelephant · 09/04/2018 08:54

Sorry @weasledee you're not out yet!!
So sorry @peachesarenom!!! Bfns suck but you are definitely not out at 8dpo!!! Fingers crossed for maybe a Friday test!!

peachesarenom · 09/04/2018 08:58

@hayleyfx I have a quick surge. I just about caught mine on Sunday morning, by Sunday evening it was already getting much lighter. So I’m hoping to ovulate today. Haven’t got any pain yet (usually do) so 🤞
@cakelaur very annoying! Once I know it’s a BFN I just want AF to arrive so you can move on. The progesterone must be prolonging your LP, which I suppose isn’t a bad thing.
Sorry to all who got BFN’s this morning. Hope you have all tested too early and they turn into BFP’s!!!

Boboelephant · 09/04/2018 11:21

I had a freak out too this morning as my temp spiked yesterday so I was sure I ovulated Sat. Opks snd cramps confirmed this too. Then today it's dipped again! @Cakelaur is 2dpo too early for one of those fall back rises? (I assume I need to wait til tomorrow and see if it actually rises again but as already mentioned- I'm rubbish at patience! 😣)

Claire138 · 09/04/2018 11:28

@bobelephant 2/3dpo is the exact time to get a fallback rise. My last 2 cycles have had it on 3 dpo. Obvs have to see what your temp is like tomorrow but if it goes back up defo a fallback rise.
My plan today is to rush home from work and jump my DH before my sis and family come over at about 7. I usually get home 6:15/6:30 and she might be home earlier 😕 but everything is lining up too well and I don’t want to miss today!

hayleyfx · 09/04/2018 12:41

@Claire138 yeah I think must have been it! I didn’t test from Saturday night until Sunday dinner time so I’m pretty sure I missed it! Got myself so stressed over it too 🤦‍♀️😂
Now the TWW starts tomorrow... 😩

Cakelaur · 09/04/2018 13:54

@Boboelephant worry not babe. See what tomorrow does. And if it's up again then it's just a fallback rise. If it's low, keep doing opks.

Boboelephant · 09/04/2018 14:11

Thanks @Claire138 and @Cakelaur! I know I'm bring a stresshead! Ever since going to that consultant and knowing I have to go for the progesterone tests I think I've been so stressed about ovulation, I'm making it worse! My opks have faded to nothing this morning and steadily faded after very strong positive Friday night and I had quite clear cramps Sat night. (I jumped on DH at that moment to try and make sure that swimmer and egg collided!!🤣) So sure it's all fine!!
Good luck with your hubby jumping @Claire!

HidCat · 09/04/2018 14:59

@maxiflump1 I've just got back from EPU. They took some swabs to be sure but said that as it stops each time it more likely just my body still gearing up for periods and sex has aggravated the cervix before it's ready. Hopefully yours is the same; it's just so frustrating!

peachesarenom · 09/04/2018 16:50

That sounds positive HidCat! I understand the frustration though xxx

Kingy2910 · 09/04/2018 17:33

Hi ladies I'm still lurking in the back ground waiting to see you all with bfp's and until I get passed the week in which I lost I can't relax. Anyway just wanted to share my experience with those little cheap tests you're using. When I used one at 10dpo within the time it showed on the packet I would have a bfn but after an hour the positive line started to show. I'm around 7 - 9 weeks pregnant now and it's still doesn't show bfp straight away!!!!!

Guess I'm saying don't throw them straight away keep checking just in case xx

Laney79 · 09/04/2018 17:40

@ek78 how are you doing? Hope you are ok xxx

2018isanewyear · 09/04/2018 18:22

Hi guys, after some advice, had a miscarriage 6th March, got my negative preg test on 24th March but still no period, we have only dtd once since 😞 as I have just been feeling so low so not thinking I'm pregnant just wondering how long it took people to get back to 'normal' I'm reluctant to put my all into it until I know where I am in cycle ect

Sorry if this is t the best place for this when I joined a few weeks back I was hoping to be POAS by now 🙄

Boboelephant · 09/04/2018 18:25

@HidCat that does sound frustrating but glad it's not an infection!
@Kingy2910 nice to hear from you. What week is the one you lost in last time? Have you had some extra scans this time? Hope you pass that point soon.
@Laney79 have things started moving for you?
@ek78 also hope things have completed for you and you are feeling ok.
