Anyone due AF next week & want to join the final countdown?!

[Pudding01]

Hi ladies.
This was the first month not tracking after trying for 8 months and getting nowhere.
My last 3 cycles lasted 28, 29 and 32 days, but think the last one may have been a CP.
No idea which date I actually ovulated, but felt cramping on and off since early last week and I'm due AF any time from Monday.

Think I'm going to do a test at the weekend, because I can't just sit and wait! Praying it's a BFP

Hi @JoyM85 welcome, sounds promising :) my temperature has dropped today at 12dpo so not feeling hopeful, am due Friday / Saturday. No signs of af arriving though. Fingers crossed for you, be a nice start to the weekend.

Glad you're feeling optimistic @sprinkleofsunshine :) we're possibly due the same day so I'll channel my hope into you :)

@Owlpatrol sorry to hear things are stressful, fingers are still crossed for you. Hope the cramping hadn't come to anything x

Thanks @VenusStarr, apologies just changed my moniker as realised people didn't use their actual names in them! I'm a little hopeful, particularly as it's my birthday on Sat so would be lovely birthday pressie, but it's also my first ovulatory cycle since ttc so would be very lucky! Plus given I'm due AF in a day or two I'd expect something on a test, even faint, but nothing yet.

Fingers crossed for you - I often get an outlier or two during my LP so might not necessarily mean bad news!

Happy birthday for Saturday @Murphyrocks :) neither of us are out until af arrives, hope she doesn't for either of us!

Hi can I join. Just started the last week countdown today.

Actually thinking it might be possible this cycle as had spotting the last couple of days. Only very light and lasted only a few days. With light cramping too. Dpo 8 today and my boobs are massive for me. Almost need a bigger bra bigger and spilling out of a normal one 😳.

Usually have a 16 day luteal phase so this is all happening a week before AF due.?

Thanks @VenusStarr! Baby dust to us both!

@Karigan1 that does sound promising although quite early - I'm the opposite with a very short 10 day luteal phase so expect things comparatively earlier! Anything that's not normal for you I'd say is a good sign, fx!

Hi @Karigan1 fingers crossed for you :)

Thanks @Murphyrocks did a cheapie test when I got home, thought I saw a shadow of something, took a photo but deleted it after staring at it for so long! Not feeling hopeful now. Don't feel like I'm coming on though so who knows.

Fx to us all still in x

@VenusStarr yes I'm terrible for taking photos and imagining lines, my oh thinks I'm crazy but it's hard not to get a little obsessed! No af so still hope! I'll take another ic in the morning, then frer if that's negative. I gots to know!

@Murphyrocks how many dpo are you?

@VenusStarr any more symptoms today? Not many from me but I've been working away so maybe I'm just not over analysing as much- few niggles around hips/ribs. I'm having the strangest sensation tonight though had to undo trousers on way home as I couldn't have the fabric against my skin and lower region like pelvic area and into hips feels like a burning sensation under the skin. Ever had this?

@sprinkleofsunshine I'm 8-9dpo, 9-10 in an hour's time(!), but I only have a 10 day lp so af due in the next day or two, 24th/25th. That's an interesting symptom re the tingling/burning under the skin, not something I've experienced before but imho anything not normal for you could be a good sign! Fx for you too!

Morning, I think I'm out. Temperature has dropped to coverline today and (tmi) but had brown spotting after dtd last night. Also if I do come on today my cycle is 23 days but lp would be 12 so I think that's OK

@sprinkleofsunshine when are you testing? I've not had that with not wanting anything on my skin. Could be a good sign

@Murphyrocks are you you testing again today? Fingers crossed!

@VenusStarr is it just spotting? Hopefully not out until a full blown period?

I'm going to try to hold out until sat morn to test, af due today/tomorrow no signs yet & I woke up this morning and had a very sharp stabbing like pain all across my lower abdomen for a few seconds. Not had since. Burning sensation subsided for the most part.

Can I join too?
I had a positive clear blue ovulation test a week ago, but my bbt still hasn't gone over the cover line since the suppose ovulation day, so I am not getting too hopeful but if the digital opk was right I should test on 1st June. It is going to take some self control not to test before
Fingers crossed the temperatures are wrong!
Good luck everyone!

Yeh. Just spotting @sprinkleofsunshine not a lot at all. I guess not out yet but with my temperature being so low I'm not hopeful. Really hope you get a positive :)

Hi @FlapJackered fingers crossed

@VenusStarr sorry to hear that but still fx until af fully arrived! Poas again this morning and bfn on ic and frer :( af due in the next day or two so will just have to see what comes. Had a bit of a temp drop this morning too so not that hopeful either.

Thank you @VenusStarr still keeping my fx for you! If af doesn't arrive by tomorrow afternoon I'll likely cave & test.

Hi @FlapJackered fx for you!

Hi @FlapJackered, welcome! Come wait with us!

@Murphyrocks what's an ic? Looks like we are in same position with af due today/tomorrow. I'm not temping though so can tell where I am and haven't taken another test since 10dpo when I got a bfn, fx for us both!

Can't tell*

@sprinkleofsunshine ic=internet cheapy pregnancy test, sorry long time lurker here so picked up too much of the lingo! Wish I could avoid temping/testing every day, can't stop myself! Fx for your bfp

It is hard, thanks @Murphyrocks ahh great, thank you! Ha

@sprinkleofsunshine - are you doing opks if you are not temping, or just going with the flow?
I am thinking I might give up the temping next cycle as it doesn't seem to predict anything useful for me!

It's only my second month ttc, I'm using an app which is usually spot on or a day out so I'm kind of going by that, I did use opks but haven't this month & I also didn't feel o this month like I usually do so actually might not even be in with a shout we will see today or tomorrow prob!

I'm on my second month too @sprinkleofsunshine but I didn't O last month and didn't actually get a positive lh test this month but did get the temp spike so pretty sure I o'd. We'll see either way soon!

About 5th month trying here. I’m going to test tomorrow. Actually have a lot of symptoms so think it might be possible. I am however very aware that symptoms can fool you!
