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

All this symptom spotting is making me crazy! This week is going so slowly.
My temperature is all over the place so not completely sure I have even ovulated. Having irregular cycles really sucks as I have no idea really when af is meant to turn up.
Does anyone else have this problem.

Good luck to those testing! There seem to be a lot of people on here that get early bfns and go on to have Bfps a week later so will keep my fx'd for you!

Thank you @FlapJackered I'm trying not to get my hopes up too much but staying slightly positive I am around 17dpo unless I ovulated late though which seems quite late not to show but then you hear so many different experiences I guess.

I don't have what you mentioned but that sounds hard as you can't really be sure where you are? Will keep fx for you!

@sprinkleofsunshine I'm now 2-3 days late, with dd I got a bfp the day af was due so slightly confused what's going on! I do usually have very regular cycles but I stopped bfing last month which messed with it a bit so that might be what's happening. Looking again at this mornings test I think there might be a slight shadow, but nothing definitive.

@FlapJackered I'm usually pretty regular but decided to stop bfing #1 about 6 weeks ago to try for #2, but unfortunately that threw off my hormones so yes I'm not quite sure what's going on either which is very frustrating so I feel you!

@Murphyrocks how are you today? Still no af?

So yesterday at 18days past predicted o date and 4 days late for period I had some pink cm when wiping which then stopped. I was then woken up early hours of this morning by really bad cramping/pain in right groin area and af came with bright red blood & small clots surprisingly not as gutted as I thought and just glad something has happened so I can get on with june ttc.

The only thing I can maybe think is that o was that strange sensation I haven't had before which was exactly 14 days before so would tie in with my 14 day lp. Just a bit worried that it's going to be hard to map going forwards now :-(

Sorry to hear that @sprinkleofsunshine but as you say at least you can look forward now and know where you are. Sorry if this is possibly upsetting but given it was heavy with clots and chance there was a chemical pregnancy? At least would show all is OK conception wise? Do you do charting/lh tests for predicting O going forwards?

I'm still in limbo, now day 35 of my cycle, 4 days late, with no af or bfp in sight. So annoying given I'm on holidays in Italy and missing out on all the lovely Italian wine, probably for nothing!

Oh I hope it's good news for you @Murphyrocks and you're enjoying Italy. I honeymooned there :-)

I actually did think it could be as I have never had a late period and I don't know why I would have o'd late if I did as I didn't think I had at all. Also the groin pain I've never had before. Is there a definite way to tell a Chem from a period as I never got a bfp? I actually though before af came I may have a uti as I had some symptoms.

I've had a miscarriage preciously some time ago before dh so a Chem would mean that hopefully no issues sight dh and I but worried I may have issues getting a sticky one!

Hi @sprinkleofsunshine sorry to hear that af did arrive. Fingers crossed June is a good month for both of us :)

How are you @Murphyrocks? How's everyone else getting on?

Hi, can I join?
Sounds like you guys have been on a wild ride this month! Fx for June 🤞
I think I'm going to have to do a test today as I'm going to have my wisdom teeth out but I think it will be too early to tell and bfn even if not.
I have no idea when I ovulate. No af in 9 years bc of implanon! Cycle #1 ttc dc #1!

Hi @Bas27, welcome!

Unfortunately af arrived this morning with a vengeance - bit sad but at least I can have a glass of wine now! Fx for June!

Thanks @VenusStarr fx for us! I'm a bit concerned about the pain I'm having, may start a thread to see if anyone has had the same, hopefully nothing but never experienced it before.

Hey @sprinkleofsunshine sorry to hear you're in pain. If it's no normal for you and not usual period pain I'd probably get check out. I hope you're OK, hopefully next cycle is ours :)

Sorry to hear af came with a vengeance @Murphyrocks, hope your wine was good :)

Happy to keep chatting if you guys want to for our next month x

Oh @Murphyrocks I'm sorry to hear that! What is our bodies up to? Have a large glass of wine and enjoy your holidays!

Would love to @VenusStarr :-) I may get checked out to put my mind at ease, fully expect it to be just one of those things but very unusual for me. I've wrote a super long thread to see if anyone has had similar as read some horror stories & worries myself.

Fx for us for June ladies. Dh is away over o date argh!!!!

Welcome bas! Fx for you. I'm also ttc 1 going into cycle 3.

That's inconvenient @sprinkleofsunshine! Hope you get a couple of days for dtd around the right time! Love to keep in touch next month!

Anything that can put your mind at ease can only be a good thing @sprinkleofsunshine :) I've read a million and one scary things since starting ttc, it's the unknown that sends my mind into overdrive! my dh is busy during fertile week, late finishes and early starts so that will be interesting! How long is your dh away for?

Same here @VenusStarr I should stop reading but can't help myself. According to my app he is away 2 days up to, day of and day after o which is a bit rubbish. Though who knows after this month if that will even be correct. Will just have to dtd before he goes and when he gets back I think.

It is but that sounds like a good plan :) @sprinkleofsunshine

Thanks for the warm welcome 🌈**@sprinkleofsunshine and @Murphyrocks 🙂

Sorry to hear about af Murphy. A bit jelly of the wine though 😂🍷
Fx for the next one! 🤞

I'm on the look out for af who could rest up any moment. 😩Apps say that potentially o now although what I entered could be completely inaccurate. 😅Figure I'll start my tww and test if no af.
@VenusStarr and @sprinkleofsunshine stay away from the dark side of the internet! 💔Bad things happen but you'll only make your lovely selves sad/panicked by reading all the details! I did the same thing with everything that can go wrong the other day and have had to put a blanket ban on that kind of research.
@sprinkleofsunshine are you hoping for the cycle to change or not? Lol 😂

You're right @Bas27 think I need to restrict myself with Google. It's just so easy though! I started off well last month but quickly slipped. And it didn't change the outcome!

Easy to fall down that rabbit hole @VenusStarr. 🎩🐰🐇Keep us posted.

@Bas27 that would be handy this month but no I hope it regulates again,

I've been to the docs as I knew that pain wasn't right & late period is very unusual for me and I do have a uti as I suspected. On a course of antibiotics and she is sending a sample for further testing. Fx it was just that and be back to normal next month!

Glad you got checked out and know what's caused the pain @sprinkleofsunshine x

Thanks @VenusStarr the only thing I'm worrying about now is whether I can start ttc again normally next month. I've not used this antibiotic previously and I know we said we wouldn't look up dr google but now I'm not sure about taking it!

I am so glad I rang the dr, I asked whether it's ok to take these whilst ttc and if I am Carry on as normal (things online suggest waiting 3 months) they are changing my prescription and going to collect different tablets in an hour.

Good job you checked! Glad they're changing it for you and you can carry on ttc @sprinkleofsunshine hope you feel better soon x
