TWW. AF DUE 30/11 ANYONE ELSE IN THE TWW

[Mothertoone2]

Hey all!

AF is due for me on 30th November, I don't plan on testing early unless there is obvious signs or symptoms. I'm currently 3dpo. Even though I probably won't be able to help myself haha.

Anyone else in the same boat?

I caved... I thought I could see a faint line but it’s not there. It wasn’t FMU but I may be out this month and just unwell!

@Wackadoodle84 i'm testing vicariously through other people, it's keeping me going :D From what I gather, continued cramping is good, means the progesterone is still going. If AF is coming the prog stops and falls, then you get AF

@ScaredFlamingo no... nooo.... AF isn't here, you're still in! You could be a late implanter!

@shuckle I think I’d have a positive by now? I’m alright, not as sad as I thought I would be. Still feeling sicky but going to try and eat something plain now.

@scaredflamingo, you’re not technically late yet and it was not fmu so you are most definitely not out yet

Ok ok I’ll wait until Thursday morning (maybe Friday) and if AF not here then I’ll test again.

Hi all! Apologies for TMI that will follow but this is my first month TTC and I can't stop symptom spotting! AF is due on 01/12 and I'm currently 9dpo.

Ive had the strangest few days! Started on 3dpo with cramping and bloating, by 5dpo I was getting random hot sweats and I got a really sharp pain in my lower left side , and now at 9dpo I'm feelig slightly dizzy and spaced out, hot flushes, wet knickers, very bloated with really light cramps, and when I go for a number 2 I feel a faint pain in my left side again! Also nipples are so so sore, I couldn't wear a bra yesterday evening!

Has anyone else had these kind of symptoms? And when is best to test?!?!

Thanks all x

Hi @Mgeno4bny! I also am due AF 1st December and I am 10DPO.

So to start with - 3dpo you definitely wouldn't have implanted yet (this is normally 6dpo - 12dpo) so any cramping and bloating then is more than likely other causes.

5dpo a sharp pain in your side is a little early for implantation, but could be - so that might be a positive sign!

Now at 9dpo bloating and light cramping is a good sign that there is plenty of progesterone - this causes wind, bloating, and other such digestive issues. Nipple soreness is good too if that is unusual for you - have you noticed any darkening, or veins noticeable?

My symptoms so far have been sore boobs and hot/sore nipples, metallic taste, tiny amount of pink CM yesterday, light cramping, and backache. I haven't tested at all yet and am going to wait until Monday to test I think, after AF is due. Saves money and frustration on potential false negatives. If you can hold out as long as you possibly can to test that's great, though if you want to try a FRER you may see a result from today onwards - it's still very early though. Ideally you want to be 13dpo+ before testing but that's easier said than done!

There's a great website here Countdown To Pregnancy that shows it's still a less than 50% chance of getting a BFP 9DPO. Even at 15DPO theres still a 6.4% chance of a false negative so the longer, the better good luck and baby dust to you!

Hey! Thank you so much for replying!

I've noticed slight darkening, and also I've had so much saliva it's a little embarrassing!

There are sooo many different sites with different symptoms I got in a bit of a tizzy about what could just be AF (fingers crossed its not) I'm trying my hardest to hold off testing until next Friday but that is so hard!

I've been getting a feeling today when I sit down like I'm sitting on a stick, hoping this is also a good sign ah!

Baby dust to you too lovely x

Hey! Yes that's exactly it!! Like something is pushing up in me when I sit! (apologies for TMI 🙊) I find it have to sit down really slowly or I end up jumping up again argh! Seems to have worn off this afternoon, just left with cramps, really light but can still feel them there! I'm beginning to think I can't wait to test.. AF due on the 1st, how long after can I reliably test if AF (hopefully) doesn't arrive

Hi sorry for snooping about on this post but @mgeno4bny your symptoms sound like me I am 13/14dpo and have been getting faint positives on frer and regular tests since 11dpo so I have my fingers crossed for you. Apparently I am pregnant attached is my regular sensitivity test from this morning and my FRER both after 3 mins.

Congratulations!!!! Are you late for AF? Sorry if this is silly but what is FRER? Thank you! I've got absolutely everything crossed that I will get a BFP soon!

@ElizabethBennet3rd thank you! I suppose I will test again on Friday. Fingers crossed!

@Mgeno4bny Frer is First response early response pregnancy test. Can Test up to 6 days before missed period x

I'm currently on cd27, tested this morning and negative. My previous cycles since stopping the pill have been 27, 28 and 33 days so I don't know when I'm due AF as they're all different. When would you test again?

@Crazymummyto3 how long have you been off the pill? Im in the same boat. My cycles have varied since i came off the pill. I am cycle day 29 now but havnt tested yet. Do you have any symptoms of AF yet?

Have been quietly following thread as AF due on 30/11. Cycle 4, 10 DPO, TTC #1.
Promised myself I wouldn’t test until Saturday, or maybe Thursday at the earliest with a FRER... but caved and tried today, BFN of course, and while I know it’s a bit early and it was the evening, still can’t help be disappointed and feel like I’m out this month!
Emotional rollercoaster this TTC business!
Good luck to everyone else, crossing my fingers for you all and hoping to see some BFP stories later this week!

@Lucy5546 I stopped taking my pill on 5th August and had my first bleed on 1st September. With our other three children I fell pregnant during the first cycle so I feel like this ovulation tracking etc is all new to me

@Lucy5546 Forgot to add, for the last two mornings I've had sharp cramping pains just for a few minutes after I've woken up but other than that I don't feel any different. How about you?

@itssoooofluffy I think I'm the exact same DPO and due AF same date as you. Done a test first think this morning and BFN for me also 😣 it is so disappointing but if this isn't our month let's hope next month is 🤞🏼

@itssoooofluffy you’re the same as me. I’m 11DPO and had bfn yesterday...I haven’t bothered today as AF arrived 11DPO last month...so just going to wait and see rather than waste another xx

Looks like I'm out, temp drop yesterday and again today. Spotting is getting heavier, and cramping more intense so just looks like AF is on hey way in.
I think I might take a break from ttc next cycle, I think the stress of the 2ww will be to much over christmass and new year. Good luck everyone

@Crazymummyto3 i havent had much symptoms. Some cramps here and therealot of CM and sore boobs. But they have all vanished today so i reckon AF will arrive today. I hate hetting my hopes up every month!!!

14dpo and a bfn this morning, was kind of expecting it as have been cramping a lot yesterday and this morning, I just couldn’t pass up the opportunity to poas 🤦‍♀️ This is our first proper month trying in ages so am ok with the bfn, will see what next month brings, best of luck to everyone waiting to test

@Shuckle how are you feeling? Almost test day for you?

@ScaredFlamingo hope you are feeling a bit better today

@ElizabethBennet3rd have you tested yet or are you also holding out until Friday?

@wackadoodle84 Sorry to hear that but next month I’m sure!!!

Still not right... felt ok yesterday evening and ate some plain food, then woken up this morning and all good until about 10 mins ago. No cramping (AF due today or tomorrow) so far, headache and the nausea still. We shall see! Drs a bit later as if I’m not pregnant then I’m sick and I have full day of meetings tomorrow so I need to know whether I’m contagious or not haha!

@shuckle and others - any update?
