@DayDreamer1707 really hoping that you aren't out x

I'm starting to feel a bit crampy -due AF on Friday or Saturday.

Babytrain89 · 19/02/2019 19:47

@daydreamer1707 oh no! Sorry to hear that and also sorry for my misunderstanding earlier! I of course hope you do not join me in cycle 5 and sending lots of baby dust your way.

Lozzlepop · 19/02/2019 20:04

@likethefruit I just want to hold off as long as possible as I don’t want to be disappointed

thumper59 · 19/02/2019 20:33

I've got fairly sore boobs today, used to always get them pre period on the pill. Didn't get them at all last cycle. How are we suppose to notice changes when are bodies are so inconsistent anyway!?

KittieKath · 19/02/2019 20:43

@FlapJackered oh goodness, such sad sad news. I can't imagine how difficult this is... Sending strength and positivity to you.

It will happen, so many of my friends had 'false starts'... one had a chem pregnancy then a miscarriage, and she is due today and ready to pop! We all just have to keep hoping... 🤞

@starkid I too like to symptom spot before there is even a chance! I'm out on the hunt with a pair of binoculars wishing for something to obsess over! 🤪

@OhMarnie I can see something... might be an evap, but here is hoping it's not! Test first thing and let us know immediately! I LOVE when people get their BFPs. 🤞🤞🤞🤞

@thumper59 a gender reveal? In the UK? I didn't know we did them! Or are you stateside?

@thumper59 @LikeTheFruit whenever I decide to test in the morning I ALWAYS have a dream that I have done the test, and of course it's positive... and then I wake up and it's just a dream and then I actually do the test IRL and, devastatingly, BFN. 😭

@lizzie198 not impossible! You can implant within a few days. And this can be an early symptom... but be careful not to get your hopes up too much, just in case!

@DayDreamer1707 cycle buddy! Could be IB. Not out yet! 🤞

MrsH497 · 19/02/2019 20:43

How is everyone doing?
My body I swear is just being cruel to me. Honestly ladies what are the chances of actually being pregnant despite BFN's? X

thumper59 · 19/02/2019 20:49

@KittieKath that's a cruel dream!! Yeah I am very much in the UK, I don't know loads of people that do them tbh. But I am off to one the day AF is due so, can't wait for that 😂

orangeloo · 19/02/2019 20:58

@KittieKath I have those kind of dreams too around test time. So cruel.

@MrsH497 how many days dpo are you again or are you not tracking?

MrsH497 · 19/02/2019 21:03

@orangeloo I had a peak OPK (clearblue) 30th jan 🙁 it's not likely is it otherwise I'd show a positive or at least a faint one? X

orangeloo · 19/02/2019 21:08

@MrsH497 I would have thought so, but depends on the urine and test. You haven't got AF so there's still a chance. test again with FMU. I know it's so frustrating X

MrsH497 · 19/02/2019 21:13

I just want to be able to get on with next cycle which I can't without AF. I just feel really down x

orangeloo · 19/02/2019 21:35

@MrsH497 ah bless you. Yes totally understandable how you feel. I think the best thing in situations like this is to try find something to distract yourself and give your mind a rest as much as poss - but I know that's easier said than done. Big hug xx

Lozzlepop · 19/02/2019 21:36

@orangeloo it’s the best- means it’s over and done with as I have a failrly long commute so leave the house before 7am and get back after 6pm so have no energy to go any other time! But finding lunchtimes are really good!

@DayDreamer1707 not out yet until AF arrives

Still no sign of AF here, keep feeling like I might come on but not happening! Roll on Thursday 🤞🏻

Lemonysherbet · 19/02/2019 21:49

Can anyone else tell when they’re ovulating? I get like a niggle one side of my nether region, like a tiny stabbing feeling. Very weird!

wildrabbit · 19/02/2019 21:56

@mrsh497 @orangeloo I feel you! Got myself into an anxiety worry fest over here the past few days. Did a second test but negative. No AF and on day 42 now but fairly convinced she will arrive soon. (All i want to do is eat crisps and shout at things Wink) I've decided it's time for a bubble bath and guilt free chocolate! Smile Hang in there!

orangeloo · 19/02/2019 22:13

@wildrabbit 😂eat crisps and shout at things! Love it! I deffo have days like that

@Lemonysherbet yes I get a lot of ovulation pain I think. Deffo kind of mild standby and it actually lasts about a week. I would guess by this cycle I feel it before during and after. I know some people get none.

On ovulation anyone else seen to observe from which side? the last two have been from my right I think (that's where the pains been) I assumed ovaries would alternate 😂

Lemonysherbet · 19/02/2019 22:14

@orangeloo mines be left twice in a row! Weird, I thought it alternated too!

starkid · 19/02/2019 22:41

AF is due a week today, and the dreaded pre-period sore boobs have started Sad

KittieKath · 19/02/2019 22:51

@MrsH497

It isn't impossible... I know someone who tested negative until 6-weeks. Her daughter is now 8!

Have you been to the docs? Are you using frees?

Stay positive... I have everything crossed for you! 🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞

MrsR16 · 19/02/2019 22:59

@LuckyPenguin I'm getting a Zafira (not one that blows up thankfully haha!) it's great for the dog (he's huge) as well as future proofing 😊

@DayDreamer1707 keep positive hun! You're not out till she's in full force!

@thumper59 I'm the same, I can't keep up with what symptoms I should be looking out for as it's different every month!

@MrsH497 that's very frustrating... I hope you find out one way or the other very soon! 🤞 for you!

Lola871 · 20/02/2019 05:31

@MrsH497 I feel your pain! I'm on CD39 today with no sign of AF yet.

@orangeloo I always assumed that too but I read that it can happen either side with no pattern! thanks

@lozzlepop almost there!

OhMarnie · 20/02/2019 07:21

Nope nothing to be seen this morning! Still wet but don't think there's a hint of anything there. Must have been an evap yesterday! Oh well, I will just go back to wondering where my period is 🤔

TTC FIRST BABY - Thread 13!
KittieKath · 20/02/2019 07:31

@OhMarnie sorry to hear that :-(

After a pregnant dream I just tested with a FRER, and it couldn't be more negative. Oh well. I am dpo 11 according to FF and dpo 9 on Glow. So it is early.

I had a nearly positive OPK last night which got my hopes up! I know they are unreliable as HPT, as many women get a second LH surge before AF. I must be one of them!

🙈😩

TrashKitten10 · 20/02/2019 07:32

@OhMarnie Are you sure? I'm sure I can see the faintest of faint lines, especially on the bottom one. Or is that the one you did yesterday? Maybe I'm trying to wish it positive. Can anyone else see anything?

OP posts:
OhMarnie · 20/02/2019 07:36

@TrashKitten10 hmm yeah I can see what you mean, I would just expect them to be stronger today? Although they arent quite as stark white as the ones I did later last night on more diluted urine. These were both done this morning from the same sample. That also makes me think the tests are a bit unreliable if they are from the same wee and look different!
