@RMarieClaire sorry to hear that, fx September is your month x

OohhPickmePickme · 23/08/2018 13:47

Congratulations @Barnabyjones & @Applesin :)

yes @RMarieClaire, its massively frustrating! especially as there is something in the water near my friends and family, at least 6 are currently pregnant. Apparently im just using the wrong tap! but onwards and upwards. if it is meant to be then its meant to be :)

Im trying not to symptom spot. however, usually 6 days before AF my boobs are sore and @ 4 days before i start very light spotting. - im now 3 days before AF and theres nothing. slight random twinges very low down but thats all.
maybe its dull AF cramps creeping up on me. we shall see.
it aint over till AF appears!

FX for everyone. hopefully this is a lucky thread!!

rollerskaterdata · 23/08/2018 13:52

@OohhPickmePickme it's really hard not to symptom spot isn't it 😔 I've had some really noticeable and odd pulling sensations today at 9dpo, it stopped me in my tracks it was so noticeable and unexpected. I'm trying to remain positive but also not get my hopes too high in case they come crashing down!

HelloBrass · 23/08/2018 14:12

AF arrived this morning so I'm jumping off the bus.

Good luck to everyone, for this month and next Flowers

JustLikeTheySaid · 23/08/2018 15:19

I'm still on the bus. Have 4 days to go until AF due. No symptoms. Boobs usually sore but actually aren't so I wonder if this month my hormones are all over the shop as I ovulated really late too. Due on on Monday but am on holiday until Monday night and purposefully came away without a pregnancy test so cannot test early! Will wait to see if AF arrives this month I think.

I had a really vivid dream last night that I was pregnant and I woke up really upset that it was just a dream!

Sorry to all those who AF caught. Congrats to those with positive tests.

mussie · 23/08/2018 17:56

@JustLikeTheySaid I'm still on the bus too. Not sure when exactly AF is due, I think Saturday, but could be anywhere up to Tuesday. I'm planning on testing Saturday morning. I figure that even if I'm wrong and AF is due Tuesday, I ought to be able to see something on a test by Saturday. I've not had any symptoms at all, so not thinking it'll be a BFP. Would almost be good if it didn't happen this month - starting a new project at work in October, and would ideally not be too pregnant when it starts! But of course there's still a part of me that's hopeful, and I know it wouldn't ultimately matter how pregnant I was when it starts, I'd make it work.

So two days to go until I test! Can't come soon enough  will be thinking of you come Monday. @rollerskaterdata when are you testing?

rollerskaterdata · 23/08/2018 18:21

@mussie just like you not sure when AF is due exactly, either Monday based on 26 day cycle or Wednesday based on 28 day cycle. I'm going to start testing tomorrow because I'm super impatient 😂 so it'll either be 3 days before AF due or 5. If I get a BFN I won't be too disheartened, I'll just test again couple days later. Hopefully this is all our months! X

rollerskaterdata · 24/08/2018 08:33

@mussie BFN for me this morning at 10dpo 😂 obvs too early! (was hoping I might be one of those lucky early implanters!). Will test again every 2 days until AF appears!

mussie · 24/08/2018 10:49

@rollerskaterdata well it's fun to POAS anyway 😂 hopefully Sunday is more lucky for you! I'll update tomorrow with my own BFN I'm sure!

OP posts:
rollerskaterdata · 24/08/2018 10:58

@mussie oh yeah I'm totally going to hold off testing again until tomorrow Sunday! Fx for you!

mussie · 25/08/2018 12:00

I had a BFN this morning (14dpo?), which I reckon means I'm out. It's so much nicer finding out by a test than by AF making an unexpected arrival like she did last month! I think I'll definitely do the same next month, preempt it a bit if I can.

Of course, you're not out until AF says so, so I'll hang out here until the bitter end 😂 I think if I don't get AF by Tuesday then I'll test again. 🤞🏻 for you guys @rollerskaterdata @JustLikeTheySaid! Is anyone else left on the bus?

OP posts:
rollerskaterdata · 25/08/2018 12:32

@mussie you're not out until AF arrives! But I agree seeing BFN is very disheartening, got another one today at 11dpo. Still early days for me though so I'm hanging around too 😂 I will not give up until AF arrives!

JustLikeTheySaid · 25/08/2018 13:05

I'm still on but not expecting AF until Monday/Tuesday! Being on holiday has totally cured my testing obsession lol so I will just wait until I get home before I test. We are all still in until AF shows! Let's hope we get a full sweep of BFPs.

Flappergirl86 · 25/08/2018 14:24

I'll hop on. I'm due 29th August so will likely be last off!

We're trying to conceive no. 2, 3rd cycle I think after an ectopic pregnancy where I had to have a tube removed so I'm pretty anxious about TTC.
I'm 7dpo, tested today because I've been symptom spotting and obvs was negative as expected but I just LOVE wasting money and deluding myself!

Fingers crossed for any August Stragglers hanging in there! Xxx

rollerskaterdata · 25/08/2018 15:58

Fx for you both @Flappergirl86 @JustLikeTheySaid I'm also due AF 29th so we'll be last together! Hoping for a bunch of BFPs too!

rollerskaterdata · 25/08/2018 15:58

@Flappergirl86 sorry to hear about your ectopic pregnancy hun 😔

Flappergirl86 · 25/08/2018 18:28

@rollerskaterdata thanks! I'm over it now but it was a real downer. You always think that sort of thing happens to 'someone else', guess if was my turn to be Someone Else. I was lucky with my first pregnancy conceiving straight away and the ectopic was after 2 tries so surely I'll win on the third try?! Flawless logic there ;) x

OohhPickmePickme · 25/08/2018 19:55

I'm still on the bus. I did a test yesterday so 12 dpo according to my app. And it was a BFN Sad could have been too early though. AF is due tomorrow and I'm still getting no signs it's coming. Which is unusual. No sore boobs, no gradually increasing spotting nothing.

But, for about 3 days now I've had a weird sensation that i can only describe as my pelvis moving/expanding. Like a deep ache every so often. So who knows. Maybe this is the month, maybe its just a strange AF
So fx for myself and all the others still on the bus!!! Smile

rollerskaterdata · 25/08/2018 23:13

@Flappergirl86 I know what you mean, I've been that 'someone else' before too (in a different way) and it's a weird feeling. I'm glad it's behind you and keeping hopeful it'll be your month soon! 🤞

@OohhPickmePickme that all sounds really promising. I'm having the same odd things going on down there - TMI and it sounds weird but my vagina aches?! Like almost feels heavy?! Still 4 days pre AF and this is not normal for me. I don't know what this means?!

rollerskaterdata · 25/08/2018 23:16

@OohhPickmePickme oh and I did some research, apparently lots of women don't get BFPs until 13/14dpo or even later. All depends on when you implant (anywhere from 6-12dpo) and how your HCG levels rise which differs from woman to woman and pregnancy to pregnancy. At 12 dpo you're deffo not out yet!

rollerskaterdata · 26/08/2018 07:48

Ladies DH and I have some serious line eyes going on! 12dpo and think we can see a ridiculously faint, almost non existent second line

rollerskaterdata · 26/08/2018 07:49

Would help if I attached the crappy photos 🙄

mussie · 26/08/2018 08:08

@rollerskaterdata exciting! I think I can see it in the one held up to the light? But not the one by window 🤷🏼‍♀️ are you testing again tomorrow then?!

OP posts:
rollerskaterdata · 26/08/2018 08:50

@mussie I'm now wondering if the one held up to the light is a shadow though 🤷‍♀️ I'm starting to doubt now...only time will tell 😒

rollerskaterdata · 26/08/2018 08:51

@mussie yep I'll be testing every day until I get a BFP or AF arrives. I've tested this long, might as well continue! When are you testing?
