@soexciting I am the same as you... don't think this will be my month. Symptom spotting like mad but no difference to every other month! My cycles have been 26-31 days so expecting AF 21st - 26th December (no doubt will turn up after Xmas so I wouldn't have even been able to enjoy a drink) Trying so stay positive is so hard when you are wishing for something so much!!

I'm out for the month. My suspicions were right and AF showed up 4 days early.
Sending unmumsnetty positive vibes to you all!

Sad sorry to hear that x

Sorry to hear that @billyandthesillies ... a new year will bring with it lots of new hope. Get yourself a glass of mulled wine! Xx

Soexciting · 18/12/2018 20:33

@billyandthesillies so sorry that you are out this month.

03cclarke · 18/12/2018 21:36

Right I have been thinking that I'm 8dpo because that's when my LH stick showed a positive but my natural cycles app is telling me that I ovulated 4 days after that?!?!?!? If the app is right then I dtd too early 😭

Maybe a Xmas surprise anyone else ?

@03cclarke what data do you enter into the app? Is it temping?

I tend to believe positive OPKs over the several apps that I use.

03cclarke · 19/12/2018 04:11

@stroan yeah temping and opk results!

Sorry to hear that your AF arrived 😔 ladies I've been feeling blvery sick these last couple of days I feel like I'm symptom spotting though! I'm hoping the £30 I spent on clear blue ovulation tests have paid off haha!

@bethany0903 I've convinced myself the last 2 months I'm pregnant and I'm actually thinking these are all just signs/symptoms AF is on the way 😕

Aww well your not out until AF arrives @duckeggbluenotblue I know it's hard when you convince yourself and then your not TTC is so emotional x

@bethany0903 I've got cramps this morning, I just think they are period pains now. Due on 1week today. But since coming off contraception my cycle has been a bit all over x

Any ladies got an update yet ? How you all feeling xx

Kins00 · 20/12/2018 22:51

I think it is game over for me... did a cheap internet test and it couldn't have been more negative! Pretty sure I will see AF tomorrow.... Sad

Soexciting · 21/12/2018 05:31

How is everyone? I had to take a few days away because I was getting down about my lack of positive symptoms. The cramps I have had since 5dpo have changed a bit and are more painful today so I think AF is on her way uninvited and extra early.
I just wish that my body wouldn't give me cramps, backache, tiredness, and dodgy mince pies if it's not going to give me a baby!

My tests are due to be delivered today! I'm not cramping anymore so we will see! Just not getting my hopes up x

Ovulation tests or FRER? Are you still going to test on Saturday? I was planning to test this morning but woke up so desperate that I couldn't wait to open the pack of four open the test and read the instructions! If AF doesn't show up I will have to get the test prepped the night before as the FMU is quite a frantic one for me!
Really hope to see some BFPs on the thread, lots of people are down but not technically out so FX for everyone!

impatientmammy · 21/12/2018 09:42

Sorry about you BFN this morning fingers crossed for January for you.
My frers came this morning they're already on the bathroom windowsill waiting for Christmas morning 🤞 x

Manycatsandallthegin · 21/12/2018 09:52

Think im going to test on sunday (AF due christmas day or boxing day) but we have a big party at friends house with lots of drink on sunday so need to know whether i can have a drink or not. And if not, give me time to figure out how to avoid drinking - people will guess straight away otherwise! Nervous!!!
