Anyone testing 26-30th jan and want a pal?

[HalfPenny28]

About to go into my fertile week and will be testing 29th jan 🙂 this is my 4th cycle trying for my 1st.

Anyone want some company while we enter into another TWW? 🙂

@raizelrea hey!! So 9DPO Friday night I wiped and there was my AF!! 24 days cycle which is bizarre but it's fine, onto a new cycle! My periods are slowly returning back to normal after my really early miscarriage in October, so hopefully that's a good sign xxx

@PlanBea what is your progesterone is normal surely they still have to refer you? As you could have other issues?

Uurgh, I had some cramps last night and I've just had a big dip in my BBT. I can't face a BFN this morning but I think I'm out.

@planbea what cd are you ? I’ve only done my temp last few day’s as I know my average and it’s dipped this morning as well and having some intense cramps

@Jonesbabynumber1 I'm on CD28 but usually have a 33 day cycle, so it's quite early for AF. I'm either 9 or 11 dpo (my fertility monitor thinks it's 11, I think it's 9)

@planbea I’m on cd 29 but with app saying 13dpo of normally a 30-33 cycle. Could be implantation implantation can happen between 9-12 dpo I suppose you’ll know tomorrow if temp raises again. Fingers crossed for you

Hope you are okay @PlanBea. My AF arrived too. 13 months for me too, although with such long cycles it's only about cycle 7. This cycle was a dream at under 40 days. I'm back at work and stressed though so let's see what the next one is like.

Where I live it is two years trying without success before you get referred unless you have a known medical reason. Dare I say I'm lucky I have PCOS. My husband has his sperm test next week and fingers crossed we will get a referral after. Irritatingly my bloods came back okay but when they looked further they could see my two levels were double (LH and another?) which is an indicator of pcos too. Had a scan on Sunday and my cysts are all good now too.. 🤷🏻‍♀️

@AliSxo That is a really short cycle! I had a bleed at 8 DPO following some light spotting which has now completely stopped (11 DPO at the moment) which confuses me.

Hopefully your body is now getting into the groove of things!

AF arrived right on time. CD26. My luteal phase was 11 days again. I wonder if that's enough? My cycles (24-26 days) seem short compared to lots of you which, on the plus side means I get to try again sooner.. But maybe short is part of the problem? Anyway gutted again this month so bought myself an Ava bracelet from ebay so I can start temping for next month (anyone else got one? How are you getting on with it?) More data might not help anything, but it's making me feel like I'm doing something during all this waiting. Would love to see some more BFPs if anyone is still in, and if you're also out - happy glass of wine (or two) to you, and see you on next month's thread?

@Mycrazylife85 hopefully this cycle has helped your body reset after the crazy last one. Do you know approximately when your next fertile week is due?

I've taken 2 ICs today, both BFN, but currently sat with cramping still. I'm holding off on using my FRER as I don't think it will show until Thursday and I won't get a chance to buy more before the weekend. If we don't get our BFP this month, we've agreed to stop for the next two months until I start my new job and so I'm not due at BIL's wedding. It'll mean if get SMP rather than maternity allowance. Still not as good as full maternity I get currently but I couldn't keep my life on hold any longer. It makes this cycle more intense than the previous disappointments though.

Fingers crossed for you @PlanBea, I'll keep a watch out for you. For me, if I have another 37 day cycle then maybe 16th-19th February time. All being well we can have a 'more active weekend' ☺️ this month AF is totally different though, and heavy (for me) it's usually so light it's pathetic. I'm temping these days and, whilst I do have days when I don't get a solid three hours sleep and can't count it, it's good. Fingers crossed this is your month 🤞

@PlanBea I understand re. Your job too. It's head verses heart. Today I booked myself on a residential course in November with work. There is no point not for me. And holidays too. May as well book those too. Maybe that'll be an omen for me 🤞😂

@PlanBea sorry and the BFN. I’m still crampy Too I have one IC left but managed to hold out not testing today 🙈 and due AF Thursday. Let me know what your temp does tomorrow

@Mycrazylife85 booking holidays and residentials is surely going to make the universe think it's inconvenient so now is the time haha. I keep thinking "what if Feb/March would be the month it works?" Uurgh.

@Jonesbabynumber1 are your ICs ok ones? One more day till Thursday. Think about it as holding out for the first morning wee. Fingers crossed!

I've no clue what's happening with my temp today. It had gone up a bit. Trying attaching a screenshot, the two I've circled I know are outliers due to amount of sleep/time of day I temped. The line is where I think I ovulated, Daysy thought it was two days earlier (and, yes, I missed a temp this cycle!) I'm still 10dpo from my calculation so not sure if it's worth using my precious FRER today or not. Aargh!

How’s everyone getting on? @PlanBea I did an IC and it was looked as though it was turning positive but no it turned into a BFN. Temp still up a little but nothing to get excited about

@PlanBea they are Femometer ones. I’ll just be waiting to see if AF arrived now. That’s interesting temp has gone up.

Can someone please calm me down....
My cycles are usually 26-27 days & I'm on CD28 & no AF.....

I had the tiniest brown spotting this morning when I wiped so assumed AF was on its way but nothing since.

I'm only 9DPO (I ovulate late & have a short cycle) and after 3 years of trying I'm not getting my hopes up & I don't have any tests in the house anyway.

I don't even know why I'm posting this TBH except to let off some steam. At this stage even if AF arrives I'll be happy as it will mean my luteal phase has lengthened slightly which can only be good.

God the TWW sends you a bit crazy doesn't it?!!

@3isthemagic hard to know what to say could be implantation at 9dpo but could also be AF. I get spotting day before period. Be good to hold off until tomorrow because if it is implantation it wouldn’t show in HGC yet I don’t think.

I’m out I’ve had spotting not surprised at all into cycle 6 😭

af has just arrivedgutted. on to the next cycle i guess.

@lexie365 heartbreaking isn’t it. All you can do is enjoy the mental break from thinking about it ready for the next cycle. What cycle are you on?

That's me out, my hope was short-lived. Time to restock on OPKs & pre-seed & on we go. Start my reflexology tomorrow

Hey @raizelrea how are you getting on? Xxx

@3isthemagic @Jonesbabynumber1 @Lexi365 sorry to hear you're all out! I hope next month is your month.

I'm still crampy, I'm still not out, and I'm still getting BFNs on ICs. If only the two week wait was a two day wait, then at least I would know either way. Uurgh.

@AliSxo I'm 13 DPO and all tests have been negative. I've had on and off spotting since Saturday which is odd, just waiting for AF to arrive so that I can have a fresh start. What about you?

@PlanBea well all I’ve had is brown spotting no full AF I’m sure it will come, but not something I usually get.
