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 Thanks

Good luck @Karigan1, I just caved and did another test, still bfn but no sign of af so wait and see! Fx for your bfp!

VenusStarr · 24/05/2018 15:08

Have started light bleeding now :( feel OK but sad at the same time. Have booked an acupuncture consultation for next week as I've heard good things about it.

Sorry about the bfn @Murphyrocks, I'll still check in to see how you guys are doing. Fingers crossed for you! Good luck @Karigan1 we've been trying a similar amount of time, hope this is your month :)

sprinkleofsunshine · 25/05/2018 07:27

Sorry to hear that @VenusStarr hoping June is the month for you! X

How is everyone today? Af didn't arrive yesterday and so far no signs today, keepin fx, haven't tested yet will try to wait until tomorrow morning if she hasn't come by then

Murphyrocks · 25/05/2018 08:06

@sprinkleofsunshine great news on af absence, me too but still bfn this morning. Significant bbt rise this morning though after a bit of a drop yesterday, wondering if that could possibly be an implantation drop yesterday followed by a rise today or if I'm just grasping at straws?! Would be late if so as I'm 10dpo with AF due today so implantation at day 9, but possible?! Thoughts?!

@VenusStarr so sorry to hear that, fx for next month hugs

Murphyrocks · 25/05/2018 08:08

I had quite a few sharp lower belly/lower back pains and cramping yesterday evening/overnight too, was expecting af overnight tbh but no sign yet...

sprinkleofsunshine · 25/05/2018 08:09

@Murphyrocks I would think that's possible so fx! Any signs of her at all? I don't have any cramping but then I shall only get that a few hours before. I went to toilet yesterday few times thinking she was here but no, just some Ewcm.

sprinkleofsunshine · 25/05/2018 08:11

Just saw the second message! No cramps here but another tingly sensation around right groin area and some twinges. Hope it's not our bodies playing tricks!!

I looked back to jan this morning on app and my average lp is 14 days which def meant I was due on yest although as I didn't feel o this month I don't really know where I am.

Murphyrocks · 25/05/2018 08:14

@sprinkleofsunshine ooh that sounds positive being a day late! You're so strong not to test! I keep going to toilet too expecting af but definitely no signs yet, and no pms signs other than the sharp pains/cramping, which don't feel like normal af cramps to me but that might be my mind playing tricks! Keep us posted!

sprinkleofsunshine · 25/05/2018 09:48

@Murphyrocks that sounds good for you too, same for you keep us updated!

I did have a wave of cramps for a few minutes that felt s bit like af but fx still nothing so far!

I did test at 10dpo so just don't want the let down again. Going to try and hold out until fmu tomorrow but I may cave when I get home later!!

Murphyrocks · 25/05/2018 10:31

@sprinkleofsunshine yeah I generally use fmu too although I found with #1 that if I went first thing then waiting another hour or so (without drinking) and re-tested the line was stronger. Might just be me! Will do!

Littlechief · 25/05/2018 11:34

Hi ladies can I join the party? I’m 8 dpo, AF due next week and going slightly crazy here! Had a headache the last 2 days and feeling exhausted and a bit sick today 😕 waiting is so hard!

VenusStarr · 25/05/2018 16:58

That's exciting @sprinkleofsunshine you're being very disciplined not testing! Got my fingers tightly crossed for you, looking promising :)

Hope af is staying away for you too @Murphyrocks

Murphyrocks · 25/05/2018 18:37

Yes still awaiting af too, getting some pains and cramps again today so who knows. Fx for us all! Hi @Littlechief, welcome!

sprinkleofsunshine · 25/05/2018 19:03

Thank you @VenusStarr @Murphyrocks

Welcome @Littlechief fx for this cycle!

Murphyrocks · 25/05/2018 21:07

So, just caved and did another test now that af is officially late, and think I may, possibly, tentatively, have seen a whisper of a line. Not colour per se, but kind of the outline of a line when it catches the light if that makes sense? I've been taking tests all week and it's the first time I've seen anything like that, the others have all been unambiguously bfns. Anyone else seen anything similar before?! I'll try again tomorrow with fmu and see what comes..

sprinkleofsunshine · 25/05/2018 22:28

Eeek do you have a pic @Murphyrocks

I've held off, also going to test tomorrow with fmu probably, hopefully if af continues to stay away

Murphyrocks · 26/05/2018 06:35

Unfortunately I dug my nail into it trying to get a better look so it's not viewable anymore! Have you tested yet @sprinkleofsunshine? About to do another this morning...

sprinkleofsunshine · 26/05/2018 08:21

@Murphyrocks fx!!

I just tested with fmu, Stark bfn's on both a boots strip & a Clearblue early so guessing I'm out Sad still no sign of af as of yet but just my body playing tricks it seems

Murphyrocks · 26/05/2018 08:44

Sorry to hear that @sprinkleofsunshine, I'm not counting myself out yet as I have a temp drop 2 days ago and a spike yesterday and today so might still be pg!

sprinkleofsunshine · 26/05/2018 08:49

@Murphyrocks have you tested again this morning?

I think I had a slight pet of shadow/ outline on the Clearblue one but I felt like I had that last month so not getting my hopes up too much on that. The only positive is that my period has never been late before... but then like I say I didn't feel o this month either so who knows what's going on!

Murphyrocks · 26/05/2018 10:46

@sprinkleofsunshine sorry yes, my message before doesn't seem to have sent, bfn this morning but still no af and had 2 days of pains/cramps and some nausea/insomnia which is unusual for me, and my temp is still high, so still have fx! Possible bfp sounds good, and yes I'm day 33 of my cycle when I'm usually 30-31 days, we'll see!

sprinkleofsunshine · 26/05/2018 20:48

Still no sign @Murphyrocks nothing here. I got terrible nausea earlier when I was driving to and from home but stopped once I got out of the car. Also having some twinges but may be in my head I guess.

sprinkleofsunshine · 27/05/2018 09:44

How is everyone today? Still same here

Murphyrocks · 27/05/2018 10:05

Still same here too @sprinkleofsunshine, still no af but still bfn on fmu! So frustrating!

sprinkleofsunshine · 27/05/2018 10:30

When we're you due af again @Murphyrocks what is going on with us?? Did speak to cousin Friday who was saying she didn't get a positive test until 6 weeks on both of her children but I'm trying not to get my hopes up too much!
