@cupcakesandglitter *sorry! Sorry!

Lottiepink · 03/04/2019 21:34

Sorry to anyone that got af that I missed 😫

@SunStruck Seen the pic 👀 I could defo see it 👌 amazing, fingers crossed for you 🤞🏻🤞🏻

@cupcakesandglitter I feel the exact same 😢😢😢

smitch82 · 03/04/2019 22:16

AF due on Friday. I just know it is going to be another late one... if I am sure it is going to be late is it a waste of a test if I check on Saturday if nothing has arrived? Or shall I wait it out for a bit?

Lottiepink · 03/04/2019 23:14

@smitch82 try and wait it out to avoid disappointment if you're usually late.. easy to say that tho... nothing worse 😫😫

daisiesandpeonies · 03/04/2019 23:40

@FlapJackered I'll let you all know how it goes and review the clinic etc for anyone else considering🤞🏼
I've just bought evening primrose to add to all of the other things I'm taking (Vitex berry, soy, pregnacare) DH is not amused at the Amazon bill...

daisiesandpeonies · 03/04/2019 23:43

@smitch82 try to wait it out. I find getting af less crushing than seeing a negative test, gave myself a 2 weeks late rule since the autumn and haven't wasted any tests since!

smitch82 · 04/04/2019 06:39

@Lottiepink @daisiesandpeonies good idea. I might just try and wait out until the last one showed up. I am getting cramps, which I did the last time for two weeks. I don't want to spend on tests for no reason!

Lola871 · 04/04/2019 07:15

Hey guys, sorry to all those who have had AF appear the latest couple of days. I'm on CD9, got another week until my fertile week starts. So just waiting for now!

thosethreewords · 04/04/2019 07:32

@daisiesandpeonies that's really good going! Excellent willpower
Finally have crosshairs on FF! It reckons I'm 3DPO but I'm not sure if I'm actually 2DPO... we will see!

AysLon · 04/04/2019 07:43

Hi guys I am CD19 and STILL flashing a smiley face on the OPK. App says ovulation was yesterday but that's obviously wrong right?

Fuiseog · 04/04/2019 09:43

@SunStruck Congratulations! 💜

Sorry to all for whom AF arrived.

Had very random, intense night time cramping that woke me in the night between 9-10 DPO. Kept me awake for two hours! Felt like v bad period pain. Although I have read that implantation cramping is usually the same as or less than period cramping, it was really so odd that POAS = the only option! Have had period pains that sore before, but not always and certainly they have never made me wake in the night!

@Ayslon I would say the app is wrong. I have four downloaded (what a loser I am!) and they usually seem to change to reflect what the OPK says.

TrulyMiss · 04/04/2019 09:59

@AysLon I only got the static smiling on CD21 last time, so I’d keep going!!

cupcakesandglitter · 04/04/2019 10:04

Hey @daisiesandpeonies it's been a while!! How are you? Sorry to hear you've hit a year xx

@FlapJackered that's okay 😂 I'm super nervous about even having this cycle, I know I'm going to just break down when AF hits next x

KatBeCool · 04/04/2019 10:56

@cupcakesandglitter deep breath, you can do it!

@FlapJackered I'm 12/13 DPO. Temp is still up. Last cycle temp dropped at 14 dpo. I frequently feel tightness in my abdomen, and pulling. Boobs were sore for a few days, then not, and now only one of them is. Got bfn yesterday. I don't know what to think. Is your AF more bearable now?

AysLon · 04/04/2019 11:26

@TrulyMiss ha ha i have been DTD every other day, not generally what I am used to but I also am finding the novelty quite enjoyable! I hope i dont have a short luteal phase, signs are suggesting that though, my cycle is 32 days...we shall see. The waiting game. Good luck to everyone. Ive got a relaxing weekend planned, hopefully will have peak smiley by then.

djmbaker · 04/04/2019 11:46

Hi, I’m totally new here. 🙋🏻‍♀️
Would love advice if anyone has any..
been TTC since November.. AF is 10 days late and counting... and I am not usually late!
I’m absolutely exhausted.. back ache.. etc etc but clear blue says a negative!
What’s wrong with me 😩 feel absolutely fed up. Love to hear anyone’s thoughts or just to chat through it all. I’ve not told anyone so feel a bit alone with it all. Thanks xx

smitch82 · 04/04/2019 12:14

@djmbaker I was 14 days late last time with all those symptoms. I ended up getting AF but did go to the doctors first. Might be worth a trip in case? Better to the safe than sorry.

AysLon · 04/04/2019 15:26

@djmbaker Welcome! That sounds horrible..I wish I had some advice but have not been in that situation. I would head to the docs.

cupcakesandglitter · 04/04/2019 15:55

@KatBeCool thankyou, DH finally went to the GP for his SA so hopefully we'll find out about his side soon. That sounds super promising, have you had any pre-AF symptoms? X

KatBeCool · 04/04/2019 16:15

@cupcakesandglitter nothing, but I usually don't get symptoms anyway, it just shows up. I get a couple hours of spotting and then she barges in. Sometimes I'd feel the cramping maybe a day before. I don't think I'll be able to handle third month of Clomid. And it'd have to be monitored but I already know that I ovulate so it's looking dim from there.

thosethreewords · 04/04/2019 16:18

TMI alert. 3DPO and just been to the loo and had loads of ?EWCM. Not had this before... I mean I barely get EWCM as it is! My temp is up so I'm not ovulating. Weird

cupcakesandglitter · 04/04/2019 16:40

@KatBeCool that's very promising then! That's understandable, but hopefully you get your BFP! You going to keep testing everyday?

@thosethreewords sorry to be a bit of a debbie downer, I have read some women get a load of EWCM when they've conceived BUT it's also normal to get EWCM throughout the month randomly. I don't get much around ov either, but after ov I always get LOADS. First Dr Google told me it meant I was pregnant but actually after a few cycles I now know that's not the case 😂 x

FlapJackered · 04/04/2019 17:19

@KatBeCool fingers crossed that's a good sign for you. Did you just test with an IC or was it a frer?
Af is better today thanks but still much heavier than normal which I suppose is to be expected.

KatBeCool · 04/04/2019 17:41

@cupcakesandglitter I'm going to wait probably until Sunday at least to test again.

@FlapJackered it was a frer. Glad your AF isn't so bad now.

I like how you both think it's all so positive and here I am feeling completely down because it don't get any symptoms. I hope you two are right!

cupcakesandglitter · 04/04/2019 18:03

@KatBeCool don't feel deflated!!! Lots of women don't feel anything at all don't forget, it doesn't mean you're out at all!!
