@HGee12 sorry I didn't see this! Did you do any tests? I got bfn at 12dpo so I'm positive af will come tomoro when I'm due on. Got my amazon basket at the ready with OPKs and pre seed 😂 might to enjoy a glass of wine over the weekend and gear myself up for every other day BDing and daily poas 🙄🙈 praying for third time lucky 🤞🏻

@HGee12. I'm struggling today too - AF due Saturday (maybe?) and I just want to test now... promised myself I won't yet though and I haven't bought a FRER yet. I just feel like I'm getting my hopes up!

How are you feeling today? Xxx

HGee12 · 17/01/2020 00:34

@Elly88 No worries, we're l very busy 😊
Nope I haven't caved, I find a BFN more upsetting than AF arriving so I'm going to wait until at least Sunday to test I think! Pour yourself an extra large glass of wine, you deserve it 🍷

HGee12 · 17/01/2020 00:39

@Emelene I think im due Saturday too, but maybe Sunday so I think I'm going to test Sunday if it's not arrived!

Only symptoms now are a few cramps 8&9DPO
Also found myself eating sweet corn straight out of a tin while crying at Big Bang theory the other day @ 9dpo, very unlike me 🙈
Other than that, no symptoms?

Elly88 · 17/01/2020 07:00

Still not any the wiser! No af when due on today but she could just be a little late this morning. Got this with fmu, I can see a faint line (more so in real life) but surely it should be darker by now if it were positive? I've ran out of frers, only have CB digi left and if line if that faint doubt it'll come up yet anyway? Thoughts?

@Elly88 I think I can see a shadow,
Is it a Tesco one? They're so bad to read,I had 2 false positives last month!

Elly88 · 17/01/2020 09:29

@HGee12 no its an asda one. The other one in the pack I used few days ago didn't have this, so can't be faulty batch? Got a frer so gonna hold in my wee long as poss then test again and again in the morning if needed. Can't believe you had 2 false positives I didn't think you could get them! How disappointing for you. I'm like clock work though with my 27 day cycles 🤔 have only been off the pill 2 months but my last cycle was normal

HGee12 · 17/01/2020 10:01

@Elly88 ah they should be okay then!
It's just the Tesco's ones, I've read a few people on here have had false positives from Tesco's ones, a faint but definitely there blue line!
No sign of AF today then?

Elly88 · 17/01/2020 10:10

@HGee12 oh dear that's not good is it! Nope still no sign of af at all. Unless I'm just having a longer cycle? But I've had very very faint line on a few tests now, today is slightly stronger but surely not as strong as it should be by today. Have to wait and see what happens

HGee12 · 17/01/2020 11:23

@Elly88 hopefully you'll know more by tomorrow morning 🤞🏼

Elly88 · 17/01/2020 12:42

Well that solves that one! Can't believe I'm the one posting my bfp. Please let this be inspiration to you all who get bfns at even 12dpo, this is 14dpo 🙏🏻

Well I'm out, AF has started early 😫

Emelene · 18/01/2020 05:53

BFN for me this morning. 14 dpo I think. I just want AF now to get it done.

HGee12 · 18/01/2020 10:08

@Emelene sorry to hear about the BFN!
When is your AF due?

HGee12 · 18/01/2020 20:03

I'm so confused! Anyone have any experience of IB?
Though my AF had arrived yesterday as had pink CM, but only once, had it again once more tonight, it's only been a tiny bit both times, just assumed it was AF but I've had no cramps like normal 🤷🏻‍♀️

Emelene · 18/01/2020 22:56

@HGee12 - AF was due today and hasn't shown. I'm feeling crampy and rubbish though so I think it's close!

I've been trying to not to get too invested in the process as it's only our second month but I did have a cry today, I was so disappointed with the BFN. Sad I'm going to try and test only when my period is late next time as I'm driving myself mad thinking "what if I ovulated late" etc . Any tips for dealing with the TTC craziness?

HGee12 · 19/01/2020 10:02

@Emelene my AF is in full force now 😫
It's only my 4th month TTC so I'm still pretty new to it too, but I'd say just remember it takes healthy people with no issues longer than you think to get pregnant.
The people who get pregnant really easily are actually the less common ones.
I'll attach a picture of the table which shows the odds. If you tell your self if will take around a year to get pregnant, when you don't straight away you won't be as disappointed.
I've given up taking tests unless AF is a few days late (as my cycle varies). I find AF arriving bless upsetting than a BFN.
Hope this helps
