anyone waiting for AF this week (w.b. 21/10)

[kwazycupcakes]

Hi everyone 🙂

I thought I would start a thread for everyone that is due AF this week, if anyone would like to join?

I am 29 and have been TTC #1 for 10 months with no hint of a BFP. I have been tracking my BBT for the last 6 months and always have a 13 day luteal phase, with AF appearing on the 14th day after OV. Yesterday was day 14 and nothing sign of AF yet. Temperature hasn't dipped yet either. Too scared to test as i'm fed up of seeing BFN 😣

Scared that just by making this thread I am jynxing it and AF will arrive, so please keep me company 🙂 would love to hear from and support others! Baby dust to everyone, this journey is so hard 💐

My BBT has dropped about 0.20 today. No AF as of yet but I did take two tests this morning. One with normal urine & one with diluted (clutching at straws!) Both where 100% negative. Considering i'm about 20DPO I think I am out.

Unless I am in the tiniest of minorities there really should be a positive by now & there is no chance that we have conceived even if I have ovulated later

Boobs are still sore & belly has started to cramp. So i'm hoping now to see AF & have a more "normal" cycle in Nov!

Still getting cramps, my cervix has gone back high and soft today and temp dropped which can be a sign of implantation. Boobs are a bit sore but I don't know if that is because I have been prodding them hoping they will be sore as a clearer sign🙈😂going to do a FRER tomorrow I will only be 8 DPOso still early but I am going to Oktoberfest so if get a faint line I won't touch an alcoholic drink!

@KCT93 fingers crossed for you! 8 DPO is still really early so there's still a chance yet!

Hello, hope you don't mind me jumping on.

Af is due today no sign yet so i have a frer ready for tomorrow morning.

I've had 4 miscarriages within the last year with my latest back in August, finished my fertility referral and they found no issues so fingers crossed this could be our time!

I had a HSG test 2 weeks ago and heard they increase your chances of conception for the following 3 months so let see if that true

@ArabellaSwan was the hsg test painful?

Keeping my fingers crossed for you

@ArabellaSwan are you using OPKs or BBT charting?

@Lizziedu49 Thank you!
It wasn't nearly as bad as what i have read about them, it wasn't pleasant but i wouldn't say painful it felt like period cramps so depending on how bad you get period cramps that's the best thing to base it off.

I'm using OPK's I use to do BBT but after nearly 2 years it became too much of a hassle to take at the same time every day.

@toteswingingit thank you! I am not getting my hopes up as I know it is very early and highly unlikely to get a BFP but just in case 😂 I only usually have a 12 day luteal phase so only works out 4 days early but we shall see!

Don't really know what to think 😩 FRER was negative this morning, just done another IC now and got another very faint line but definitely pink. Obviously this wasn't fmu so will try again in the morning. I'm guessing it's a BFN, but if it is I'd rather the test be stark white than keep me wrongly guessing

Good luck those left standing. AF has just arrived right on cue.

@Chefwifelife sorry to hear that. I‘M pretty sure I’ll be joining you tomorrow. Hope you‘ve got some nice to distract you tonight.

@Crazymummyto3 are you going to rest tomorrow with FMU? FX to you

@Macbless Yes I will, but really not holding out much hope

Hi guys, first time posting, me and my partner have been TTC for 2 years now. I'm 23, him approaching 30, I've always known that I wanted to be a parent, had all the tests done and awaiting the appointment to confirm when we can start IVF. I recently had a HSG test, with a delayed tube, not quite sure how much that effects everything but trying to be optimistic each month, just becomes harder and harder.
AF due on a Tuesday but have quite a lot of cramping so hoping it's implantation. Fingers crossed.

Still no AF. Tested again with an IC but still just the faintest of lines 😩

Welcome @Annies1923, sorry to hear it is taking a long time. I guess if one of your tubes is narrowed, you're counting on ovulating from the other in order to conceive.
My best friend has just gone through IVF and it all went through soooo quickly and she is due to give birth in a month and a bit!

@Crazymummyto3 no AF for me either and I am not getting cramping anymore. I calculated the last viable date I could have ovulated and that would put me at 12DPO today. I got a BFN yesterday! CD34 for me today

Hi @lizziedu49 thanks for the assurance, its so easy to start to think it may never happen, the cramps I had are mild now, and very sore boobs, hoping this may be our month x

@Annies1923 sore boobs is a Verrrrrry good sign, especially if you don't usually get that before AF

@lizziedu49 let's hope so!! I'll keep you updated

Still no AF or BFP. CD 42. Really bored now waiting. 🙄

I have the worst sore throat and cold today, just came out of nowhere! 8 DPO so could be a symptom but clutching at straws now!

Oh gosh @Bananaloaf88 we are in the same boat, I'm CD35 and my longest ever was 38 so surely something has got to happen soon

@Lizziedu49 It is so frustrating. I had some mid-cycle bleeding so i'm wondering if this has reset my cycle. According to ovia with the mid-cycle bleeding (which it didnt register as a period) I am due on tomorrow. Fingers crossed. Have just ordered 50 OPks for Nov 😂

@Bananaloaf88 was it bright red blood? Funnily enough i had the same between my last 2 cycles, I had one day of bright red blood but Clue did count it as AF
So I either had one 16 day cycle and another 22 day one or one 38 day one. SO CONFUSED

I'm am SO glad to hear it's not just me ☺️ also it's really interesting that Ovia didn't count it as AF

I'm still late, but have been testing every morning and getting a BFN....... guess I'm not out until the old bag turns up

@Lizziedu49 I had light bleeding on CD 12 (ish) it was a lot lighter than my normal period but it lasted about 2 days longer.

I put it into Ovia as "spotting" so it hasn't counted it in CDs as a period but it did move my predicted period date to tomorrow.

So I am either on CD42 or CD30. I'm starting to wonder if I did have a 12 day cycle. I had really bad side pains during that time, the doctor did an internal exam and took a urine sample but everything was clear.

I'm glad someone else has been in the same boat! I just want to be pregnant already! After my miscarriage I have suddenly went into hyper broody mode.
