@dancingqueen03 @wannabemum38 i just caved and did a test and it was BFN Sad it was an internet cheapie but as i have had no symptoms what so ever, i think we are out this month

I guess i will just wait for AF and order clearblue advanced digital when she arrives to see if this helps this cycle

I will do a test weekend for DP's benefit - but i hold no hope!

just really down

You arent till you are out.. @Luxoire keep the faith

wannabemum38 · 17/10/2019 13:51

I did a boots cheap strip this morning BFN so reckon yesterday lied to me 😭 not put tip AF arrives though

dancingqueen03 · 17/10/2019 14:41

Hey guys 😞 just on my lunch and went the bathroom there was blood on the tissue when I wiped 😢 guess that's my bfn again this month

@wannabemum38 @Luxoire hope your okay,I know it's awful when you think you might just be in, I had a little cry in the bathroom before think we can try again, I never thought it would be so hard x

Luxoire · 17/10/2019 14:48

@claireb707 thanks hun, its hard but you know when you dont even FEEL any signs - i cant even make it up in my mind and convince myself of hope

@wannabemum38 yeah i just wish she'd hurry up along now so I can get into the next cycle lol the BFN has hit me harder than i thought and DP thinks i am overreacting - so i am NOT een talking to him about anything until fertile window (i defo sound like i am PMSing right now)

@dancingqueen03 yeah i am so close to tears - how long are your cycles? if AF bang on time for you as predicted? i though i might be in and waitingand watching for that line on the test and nothing!! arrghhh - i am not ok, but i am telling myself its ok to not be ok and to see how I can improve my chances next month - will be buying those diital OPKs...at this point they almost seem a better investment that FRER or pregnancy tests (i may change my mind in the 2ww about that theory)

Sorry to hear all the BFN's. Here's hoping we'll all be on the 'Due Aug 20' bus 🤞x

claireb707 · 18/10/2019 21:46

so its been a bit of an odd day,

woke at 3 needing the loo then couldn't get back to sleep - thinking about the interview I had yesterday and also ovulation etc
got another flashing smiley this morning on my opk
had a semi-difficult conversation with the plumber doing our bathroom about him putting the units in the wrong place - luckily was easily fixable. but he hasn't then managed to get as much done as he was expecting today (combined with his tile cutter breaking on him) so he has to come back Monday. Though it is looking good so far :)
found out I got the job this afternoon, HR are now sorting contract and start dates etc
got a solid smiley this afternoon - woohoo Shock better than last month as I am cd11 today (last month was cd10)
and had to report someone (and escalate and I have the fun of sorting it out on Monday) this afternoon at work for fraud

Just celebrated job news with a glass of prosecco and am about to go get an early night Wink Wink

Wonderful news @claireb707, they say good news comes in threes so hope last night was fruitful x
I'm having a massive wobbler, decided that I might leave it until after Xmas to try for another baby. Struggling enough with DS at the moment. My ovaries tell me differently though x

Zm2019 · 19/10/2019 15:11

Hey, so I think I need a little help girls. My period ended on the 7th (cd5), I had ewcm on 11th (cd9) we dtd 11th to 14th. I then had ewcm on 16th (cd14) which my app then said ovalation has shifted but ovalation tests were negative. I'm now cd17 and just checking my cm and I think I can feel my cervix (never felt it before) what does this mean. I have had a face breakout on Tuesday which isn't unusual for me but no other symptoms like I did last month.
Did I miss my ovalation? Can you get ewcm twice. I am so completely confused.
How long after your Af does ovalation usually happen.
My Af isn't due till 29th x

Kiki275 · 19/10/2019 18:08

@Zm2019 how long is your cycle normally?x

Zm2019 · 19/10/2019 18:23

@Kiki275 its usually 26-28 days x

Luxoire · 19/10/2019 21:36

@claireb707 ohhh girl congratulations on thr job and tpue bathroom is lookong great..i bet it'll look amazing when ita done! Yay on your opk! I am hope ur dtd caught and sticks! Try not to stress on Monday as ur body needs peace and calm to fertilize and keep the egg! I am keeping every thing crossed for you xxx

@Zm2019 I too have about 27 day cycles and tent to ovulate i think between cd11-cd15 I seem to have missed my ovulation date this month as my app recalculated..but I too had ewcm twice. In my cycle but then apparently this can be normal for some women...so I have decided to next cycle we are going to invest in clearblue digital ovulation with the Emily faces as it tracks 2 types of hormones and can be more accurate than the cheap sticks! Good luck hun..i hope you. Caught it and it sticks. Are u officially in ur 2ww now?

@Kiki275 aww I get the wobbles constantly had a major one the last couple of days thinking maybe this BFN is a sign its not meant to be and i should stick to 2...lol. Have think hun and i think u will know deep down what is best for you

I am just waiting for the witch to arrive to start a new cycle as I know I am out this month already xx
Had a good chat with DH this morning and we have agreed clearblue advanced digital opk will help us plan better. He travels a lot and says he doesn't want me to feel I missed ovulation and it will help him gwt more involved with the planning too..he did admit to not really being in positive mind last cycle but I shouldn't put too much pressure on myself...so him taking it seriously helped massively in getting me out of my funk..i will order. Opk when yhe witch shows

Zm2019 · 20/10/2019 08:09

@Luxoire yea now in the tww, app says 10 days to pregnancy test x

yellowpurple85 · 20/10/2019 10:07

Hi hope it's ok that I join, we are trying for baby number 3, have two kids already 13 and 10. Was on the pill for 10 years.
I came off the pill 14th July and started my period 87 days later on 9th Oct and still have it 12 days and counting, it started off light brown and has got heavy red now. (Sorry tmi). Has anyone else had a long AF after a long wait?

wannabemum38 · 20/10/2019 17:24

@claireb707 congratulations on job I started a new one this week too am loving it
@Luxoire how's things? I am 2 days late but took a cheap boots PG test this morning and BFN so no idea what's going on

Luxoire · 20/10/2019 21:09

@claireb707 eeekkk I am keeping everything crossed for you hun..so you get the tripple this cycle...xxx

@Zm2019 exciiting times...i find the 2ww my worst time days drraaaggggg feels like suddenly there are more THAN 24hrs in a day lol... Sending u baby dust babe. Hope this is your BFP month as

@yellowpurple85 welcome hun feel free to join the fun!! I have never had a period that long EVER have u spoken to your doctor? Is it normal? Did you get any oeriods on the pill? I'd say see a doctor cos thats coming up yo 3 wrrks of bleeding right?! I am also hoping for baby number 3 but my 2 are 6 and 3 just now...looking fed tl getting to know you more. Xxx

@wannabemum38 that's got tk be thr most frustrating thing...getting a BFN but then being late I.e. no period! Havr ypu ttied a high sensitivity test like FRER???

App says witch is due Tuesday for me...but I have seen brown spotting tonight as I have been to wee so witch might be here in all her glory tomorrow...1 day earlier which will give me a 26 day cycle...so I seem to be alternating between 26 and 27 days cycles every other month since i started tracking in June lol...well hopefully that means ovulation is here earlier...Its my son's operation tomorrow so I'm going to be in hospital all of tomorrow. I will order my ovulation kit mid to late in the week

Luxoire · 21/10/2019 16:03

@wannabemum38 I still have occasional brown spotting...with is due tomorrow so hopefully she will be on time... So you are probably 2 days ahead lf me this cycle? X

OP posts:
yellowpurple85 · 21/10/2019 20:58

@Luxoire I never had a period for 10 years while on the pill, so it's my first one since coming off the pill in July, Before I was 28/5 days a week. Not sure what is going on with my body, I have also had a tension headache for 3 weeks, but other then that I feel fine.
As anyone had a period for 14 days after coming off the pill?

wannabemum38 · 22/10/2019 04:11

@Luxoire Yes think we are about 2 days apart. Gets to point when you know AF is coming and just want it over with and get onto new cycle.
My DP was devastated when told him too thought we had cracked it this month.
Been really ill today sick most of day and headache plus heavy AF day so feeling even more down in dumps than usual.

claireb707 · 22/10/2019 10:07

3dpo and now got creamy cm (feel wet down there) and pink spotting 🤔

MrsCl19 · 22/10/2019 13:23

Hi everyone could a join!

I'm ttc baby #2 my little girl is nearly 21 months old.

I came off the combined pill Friday and started my withdrawal this morning. Started all my vitamins, also will be taking agnus castus as convinced that made me ovulate when I came of the pill the last time!

Finger crossed to everyone and LOTS of baby dust ✨
