End of November, jump on board pt 3!

[Skygirl1983]

All ready for when we reach 1000 on the other thread!!

Morning lovely ladies, loving thread 3!
I had a brief chat with a few ladies on the last thread.
AF had arrived good a proper this morning.
Not had period pains since I was like 16!
Lower bag pain and feel like someone is twisting a knife in my lower stomach.

Not sure weather it's actually my period or it's what people say is a withdrawal bleed.

Hope you don't mind me tagging along again 😘

Baby dust for all ✨✨✨

Hi @Elmlee I'm led to believe that the withdrawl is much lighter and less intense than an actual period.
I definitely don't think I had a withdrawl bleed, I think it was the real deal!

Everyone is asleep in my house. DTD 🤞🏼. I'm sitting doing online Christmas shopping 😂

@mrsio I don't know how I dealt with it tbh, I think I just got on with it at the time. I did have tonnes of anxiety and panic when I was going home after work. I didn't tell my work about it either.

@CiaraJ01 I think I might just do my nails, just this once to end the year 😛

AF is officially over it seems so bring on ttc cycle 3...bloody hell, feel like I'm about to get onto the rollercoaster again.

@nt1992 good job!

@mellymoo86 exactly! Or atleast there should be a test to know if the egg has met it's partner or not,

Good morning everyone, hope you don't mind if I jump on :) on cycle 6/7, ttc our first, 7dpo today. Trying my best not to symptom spot but I know I am...How is everyone doing?

@Nalapuppy With you! I'm 5 dpo. Cycle 8

Good morning ladies

@nt1992 keeping my fingers tightly crossed for your BFP! Hope you kept your legs raised afterwards! Haha

Still no sign of AF and another BFN on a CB this morning. I'm hoping for an arrival today! I'm not going to buy anymore tests.

@Skygirl1983 thank you! How many DPO are you now?x

Morning all, decided not to test this morning at 11DPO.

What will be will be eh.

AF arrived 11DPO last year so assume she may arrive later on

Wishing everyone else luck with BFPs

@nt1992 I'm 15dpo CD30 all AF symptoms gone. Not sure what's going on.

AF due tomorrow, bfn on an IC this morning. I bet it's not even going to turn up on time!

@MrsC89 I'm dealing with the same just now!! No AF, BFN and feeling nausea. Sore boobs have gone!

Hi everyone sorry to butt in, I've been following this thread since the beginning haha. ( I have commented a couple of times) just wondered what numbers people would consider them having a serge? Top one is from last night bottom just now, ignore cycle date, I've got PCOS so my cycle is all over place. Xx

@Skygirl1983 i am the same as you. CD 30 and woke up this morning all symptoms have vanished but no AF. I havent test3d yet though!!

Morning ladies, sorry i've been a bit quiet lately, this cold has wiped me out and also trying to get ready for amsterdam this weekend!

@skygirl1983 and @lucy5546 I was the same last week, firstly no pregnancy symptoms or even hallucinations there were some, then AF symptoms for days but no arrival - and then nothing! She did eventually arrive 2 days late however... fingers crossed for you though!!

@Mum2boyss I completely ignore he numbers because mine seem to be ridiculously high. So I just dtd when the line is darker (or as dark) as the other.. it looks like you're heading in the right direction though maybe just another day away?

@mellymoo86 we're close in cycles, I'm on CD6 now and #3 too. Let the rollercoaster begin again!!

Definitely celebrate surviving the year with your new nails :-)

@CiaraJ01 its driving me mad!! I know because of all the negative tests that I'm not pregnant but I wish this period would hurry along now so I can get on as normal!!

@Mum2boyss I second CiaraJ. I struggled with those strips on the app. The pics never looked like they did in real life!! Just dtd as much as you can ;)

@skygirl1983 I feel your pain! It really starting getting to me last week as you're just in limbo with no AF and no BFP - you just want it over with! Hopefully not long left for either to show xx

When people see they're peak on the OPKs - how long do you assume you're window lasts? Is it 24-48 hours you dtd for? I'm away this weekend and expecting my peak on Saturday - so going to dtd Fri AM and Sun PM. But could I be wasting my time if the window is like 24 hours? (Not that DTD is ever a waste )

@CiaraJ01 if it hasn't appeared by Friday I think I'll got and see the doc for bloods. In a weird way, even though the tests are negative I feel different!! I cant shake that feeling!

OPKs are such a minefield! Theres no harm in dtd when you said just incase. Dr Google says 24-48hrs but you never know really!

@skygirl1983 yep definitely do - at least to put your mind at rest!! And sometimes our intuition is just right!! Fingers crossed for you xx

Yep just as I thought - no matter how hard we research or plan - it's literally all to chance! I did an OPK test last night, but at CD6 it wasn't a surprise it was non existent levels. Will test again tomorrow and go from there

@Skygirl1983 this was like me! I was over the fact my tests were BFNs but AF was dragging it out!

Have you tried a FRER?

@nt1992 I did a FRER on Thursday. The rest have been CB or internet cheapies. I feel so sick and have a bit of a headache but no other symptoms. Sometimes my tummy feels full before AF but it feels like nothing. No cramps or twinges or anything. I keep going to the toilet to wipe and other than a little bit of brown discharge earlier still nothing!

Thanks ladies, hopefully it will be in next couple of days. So frustrating not having a regular cycle so I don't no roughly when I'm ovulating, think my hubby is sick of the sight of these sticks haha xx

@Skygirl1983 ohhh fingers crossed you know one way or another soon!
