Doesn't it feel like you spend your whole month waiting. You finish AF, you wait til ovulation to get it on like bunny's for a few days. Then your back to waiting 😂 and the month is split into nice little chunks depending on where you are in your cycle. Really does take over your life this TTC business.

unicornxo · 29/11/2018 09:15

@veeboo I'm a bad influence because I wouldn't be able to wait 😂

@Whowouldhavethoughtit any sign of AF today?

@MrsP4 Have you had anymore symptoms/tested again?

stormtrooperjulian · 29/11/2018 09:31

Hi all, how is everyone doing?
I’m on CD9 now, should be ovulating on CD13 if it’s the same as the past few months. Feeling fairly positive about this month at the moment.

@PaintingOwls I think I'm 3days PO today too! We can keep each other sane. I agree, every day is dragging so slowly.

Are you an "early tester" or a "waiter"?

I looked back in the thread and see you're due AF a few days after me (my cycle is 30 days) I'm not due til the 11th.

Whowouldhavethoughtit · 29/11/2018 10:53

Congrats @FiH81!!!

I tested again this morning and still BFN 2 days late now I think. I had to go to the walk in centre this morning because my back is so painful that I couldn't get out of bed!
Now I don't know if I'm hormonal or just tired after a rubbish nights sleep haha!

WildFlower2018 · 29/11/2018 11:02

Wow @FiH81 congrats!!!

Is this the first BFP of the thread? How exciting x x x

unicornxo · 29/11/2018 11:10

Congratulations @FiH81 how many dpo are you? 😍

Queenofmyownheart · 29/11/2018 11:29

Congrats @FiH81 fabulous news!!

FiH81 · 29/11/2018 11:32

Thank you ladies ❤️ I'm 11dpo today. Dry Christmas for me 😀 Hoping this is a really lucky thread 🍀 Baby dust to all x

MrsP4 · 29/11/2018 12:29

Wow Congratulations@FiH81 made up for you! Have you had any symptoms? Xx

Kaye03 · 29/11/2018 12:32

FiH81 im so happy for u! Best xmas present for u.😁

FiH81 · 29/11/2018 12:40

Thanks. No symptoms at all! Which ironically was a symptom lol! Every cycle I feel really pregnant... But I'm not. This cycle I've had no symptoms and that's what made me really suspicious that I am pregnant x

veeboo · 29/11/2018 13:32

Congratulations @FiH81! I am 10dpo now and hoping lack of full on cramps is also a good sign!!

mussie · 29/11/2018 14:50

Congrats @FiH81 !

I'm in a mess, I felt totally certain that this month was lost, then CTP said my symptoms suggested I was pregnant, and then now at 8dpo I have some slight pink spotting, which I've only had before on the cycle I conceived. I know it's almost definitely physically impossible, and the spotting probably just means AF is arriving a couple of days early (LP usually 10 days) but still I have hope 😅

PaintingOwls · 29/11/2018 14:58

@WildFlower2018 I'm definitely a "POAS at every opportunity" type. Ashamed to say I did so this morning seven though I knew it was too early Blush

Would be great to keep each other company! AF is due on 5th but Fertility Friend says to test on 15th - I think I ovulated later than usual this month.

Congratulations FiH81!

WildFlower2018 · 29/11/2018 14:58

@mussie

Sorry if I'm being silly but what is CTP?

Why do you feel all is lost, cus AF is coming soon and you've had BFN on tests? 8dpo is still very early in terms of conception (I rarrrellly see anyone get BFP tests that early on here?)

I also read that eggs can implant up to 12days PO. So, even though you have a shorter LP, the spotting still might be implantation bleeding?

I'm forever the optimist though. As they say, it aint over til AF shows!

WildFlower2018 · 29/11/2018 15:03

@paintingowls OMG POAS addict here too ... I ALSO TOOK ONE THIS MORNING HAHAHAHAHHA

I knew it was absolutely insane but they're ICs and my reasoning was that I'd never used one before so why not? Just give it a go see how they work.... 🙈🙃 I'd only used actual sticks last time. I 100% new it'd be negative this early on but just thought f@&k it and did it anyway!

Whowouldhavethoughtit · 29/11/2018 15:05

Ladies I've just had My lunch and I feel real l sicky. The same happened yesterday but not as bad as this. I swear I'm not right and this isn't pregnancy symptoms. After a morning of pretending to work but reading loads of threads it seems a lot of people don't always get a positive on the day of their missed period. I must sound like I'm clutching at straws here and I wouldn't be if it wasn't for the fact that I just don't feel right :(

WildFlower2018 · 29/11/2018 15:25

@Whowouldhavethoughtit I have all my fingers crossed for you!

I have seen threads on here where people have got BFP several days AFTER missing AF ...

mussie · 29/11/2018 17:57

@WildFlower2018 oh it's Countdown to Pregnancy! It's a website where you put in your symptoms each day and it tells you if that means you're more or less likely to be pregnant. And no, I've not tested yet, I was just away from DH for almost the whole FW! And seeing as we usually DTD very regularly with no results, I feel like DTD just once, nearly a week before I ovulated, is unlikely to work!

But you're right, it's not over until it's over. AF is due sometime between now and Saturday, so will probably test Sunday or Monday, if nothing by then. 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻
