I apologise for this rant in advance!
Can someone send me some sanity and comforting words?

I am getting so many spots on my chin! I rarely ever get spots! I usually get ONE spot on my cheek before AF.

I have irregular cycles so I have no idea if or when I ovulate and I don't know when my AF is due.

My last period started on 1st September.(CD1)

I Dtd CD11, 14, 16, 20 And 23.
If my cycle is 28 days this month my fertile window should have been CD11-16 But like I say no idea what my cycle is :(
I keep getting aches in my boobs and have been having a light headed feeling for about a week since CD18. I get the occasional cramp in my tummy but unsure if that is linked to my IBS.

I POAS Monday night BFN. CD24
I POAS tonight.. BFN. CD26

I don't know what is going on with my body but i wish it would hurry up and tell me.

Sorry for ranting. I am just so confused with the signs and symptoms! I want a BFP so badly but my body is just playing tricks on me.

Thanks for any replies!

Early testing should be done with your first wee of the day as any hcg will have had more time to concentrate in your wee.

Patience is a very valuable thing when ttc - you need to give up control of when it will happen...

Thanks for replying @physicskate
I figured if I was feeling signs and symptoms the hcg should be strong enough whatever time of day?

I don't know how early I am testing because I have no idea when my AF is due..

I guess I'm not out until the red lady sings but it's still frustrating me.

Those symptoms you were feelings were likely progesterone then.

Yup ttc is not glamorous or easy or a breeze. It's stressful and shit.

EssJayyCee · 27/09/2018 19:15

If they were progesterone does that mean AF is likely close or can progesterone happen at any time?

Anytime in the next couple of weeks.

But wait, why don't you know when you're due? Irregular cycles of just off bc?

Birth control is a whole different kettle of fish!! You could get pregnancy symptoms because of 'withdrawal' from birth control as your hormone levels change and you adjust to not having the hormones from whatever form of contraception you were on (my cycle even went wonky after I had my non-hormonal copper coil removed). If you're just off bc, period could be around the corner or months away!

This is my second cycle off the pill.
First cycle was 45 days. This one I am cd27.
Before the pill I had irregular cycles so that's why.
I have noticed tonight I have developed really prominent veins on my boobs too. They definitely aren't normally like that.
