Oh I really hope not @thehalfbloodprincess fx for you that it's not!

Oh halfblood truly hoping AF doesn't show tomorrow :(

Still feeling very impatient and today was the longest yet of this 2ww. I actually took a cheapie test tonight, 8dpo. There's definitely a shadow of a line which has to be an evap this early, so will be interesting to compare it to tomorrow's test. I woke up today to the worst skin break out I've had in years. There must be over a dozen new spots on my face, mostly my chin. I usually get one or two bad ones a couple of days before AF, but AF is 5 days away. Probably means nothing of course.

Hope everyone is getting on ok Flowers

TheHalfBloodPrincess · 18/08/2018 07:38

She got me 😢

8DaysAWeek · 18/08/2018 08:57

:((( sorry halfblood

Bfn this morning. 7-9dpo.

BasinHaircut · 18/08/2018 11:28

So sorry halfblood.

I managed to be so preoccupied this morning that I didn’t even think about POAS when I was having my morning wee and at 9DPO I know that there isn’t much point using an IC for anything other than FMU so I will have managed to resist testing till at least 10DPO. Last month AF came on 10DPO so I think I’ll probably test tomorrow if she doesn’t show in the morning. But I’m going to try and wait for Monday if I can.

I do feel a bit tired today though which is classic AF symptoms for me so I’m not feeling optimistic.

BasinHaircut · 18/08/2018 13:34

Think I’m out. Brownish tinged CM when I wiped just now. AF due tomorrow

alicepol · 18/08/2018 16:41

So sorry to hear @thehalfbloodprincess ! Sad

I hope not @basinhaircut fx it isn't!

I was also too busy running late to work this morning to take a test (10dpo) will try and remember tomorrow morning, If not then Monday which will be 12 dpo. But if nothing tomorrow or Monday then I'm guessing il be out

Thanks alice.

At the moment I’m hoping it’s implantation bleeding but know it’s probably not.

I just read that 8-10 days is when most implantations happen and HGC may not show up in urine for another 3-4 days after that and so a negative at 12DPO wouldn’t necessarily mean you are out. By those maths most BFPs would show between 11 and 14 days.

TheHalfBloodPrincess · 18/08/2018 17:11

I was expecting it anyway. I think that’s why I wasn’t bothered about testing and why I was upset yesterday.

I’ve checked the past 3 cycles and I’ve ovulated on day 17, day 16 and day 15. If it follows that pattern and I ov on day 14 next month then I’m out next cycle too as dp is away with work and doesn’t get back until the day after.

So fed up with it all 😡

Starting 2ww once again! Who's with me?
8DaysAWeek · 18/08/2018 17:56

I get exactly how you are feeling halfblood. I was the same last month and just knew.

Hoping this thread gets some much needed good luck soon.

Still not out basin. Is it normal for you to get a bit of brown spotting before AF?

BasinHaircut · 18/08/2018 18:11

I have no idea 8days, it’s only my second month off the pill so can’t really compare.

I’m convincing myself that I’m having twinges on one side that could be implantation, but really what I’m actually worried about is my short LP. AF coming at 10DPO isn’t great is it? I know it’s not the shortest, but if some people actually implant later than 10DPO then it could prevent me falling pregnant?

We are trying for DC2 so I know I can get pregnant, but we weren’t trying for DS so I have no idea about implantation etc. I assume that it happened on a day I went to a funeral when I got overly emotional about some flowers not being quite right, and then got so tired I went to bed at 8pm, but this was based on scan dates not periods or ovulation.

alicepol · 19/08/2018 06:28

11 dpo and complete BFN don't think it's my month AGAIN!
anyone else getting a bit fed up?

OP posts:
8DaysAWeek · 19/08/2018 07:49

basin I'm on cycle 5 after my period came back after I stopped breastfeeding, and my LPs were short to begin with but have extended (9, 11, 12, 12 and ?), which I read is pretty normal and I'm sure the same can be said about stopping the pill. I read that anything less than 10 days isn't ideal, so I wouldn't panic yet but hopefully it extends for you. Has AF showed??

Aw Alice me!! I'm frustrated because my chart doesn't pinpoint O (which is one of the main reasons I bloody temp in the first place!) So I could be 8dpo or 10dpo. Either way bfn this morning.

DH and I had a chat yesterday and decided it actually makes a lot of sense if we delay TTC for a few more years and focus on work and moving house to get DS into a better catchment area for school. We said we'll stop trying after this cycle. And now I'm so conflicted with what I want!! Head says wait, heart says baby. I'm still hoping for a bfp but at least we have a good backup plan if it's not our month (again!).

8DaysAWeek · 19/08/2018 07:50

And my bloody phone has done that thing where it ignores paragraphs I enter!! Sorry about the long passage :(

BasinHaircut · 19/08/2018 08:06

AF has arrived so I’m officially out. I forgot how much this bloody hurts when you aren’t on the pill!

8days it’s arrived at 10DPO for the past 2 months now. We TTC briefly last year and although I can’t remember the exact length, I remember my LP being short then too.

Oh well, at least I now don’t have to fake drinking at my best friend’s wedding this week, I can real drink Grin. Every cloud and all that.....

But CD1 here. Thinking of trying to do SMEP this month but I don’t think neither DH or I have the stamina for it Confused

BasinHaircut · 19/08/2018 08:08

8days sometimes it isn’t the right time but I guess it’s never the perfect time either. Life is what happens when you are making plans as they say....

8DaysAWeek · 20/08/2018 19:38

How is everyone?

This morning and this evening I've had suuuuuper faint second lines on the internet cheapies. I've been testing since Friday and am used to seeing the evaps but these are different. AF due in 2 days and started cramping tonight which is worrying. We'll see what tomorrow brings. I know I should get a FRER but don't want to pay for the disappointment of a potential bfn.

BasinHaircut · 20/08/2018 20:31

Fingers crossed for you 8days 🤞 sounds promising.

CD2 here and planning on having a few Gin over the bank holiday weekend.

MissNena · 20/08/2018 22:19

Keepin my fx for you @8daysaweek that sounds really promising.

I’m still only on 3dpo with having longer cycles and it feels like it taken forever to get to this point.

Hopefully this 2ww flys over

alicepol · 21/08/2018 07:12

Fingers crossed @8daysaweek
13 dpo and complete BFN. Boobs are starting to hurt a tad bit which means AF will defo be arriving soon this week Sad

8DaysAWeek · 21/08/2018 21:26

Thanks for your crossed fingers ladies. Had another faint line this morning and got my bfp confirmed with a FRER tonight :)) so so happy and just praying it sticks.

It may be totally unrelated but this cycle we used Conceive Plus lubricant which we hadn't used before.

TheHalfBloodPrincess · 21/08/2018 21:58

Congratulations! Really pleased for you!

Thanks so much for your support guys. Will take another test in a few days and hopefully see some progression
