Hey girls... thought I'd make a new post I'm struggling to find new ones 😂 I'm 28 nearly 29 and my other half is also the same age! I'm currently on my period and this is the month we have decided to start trying! I'm so excited but also do not want to get my Hope's up as I know it can be a very long journey to get that BFP! Anyone else trying this month? I'm looking to get ovulation sticks to increase my chances xxx

@Mc3209 can't believe you got a BFN at 13 DPO!

@abby25 even if it's trapped wind that's still one of the early symptoms!

Think I'm just looking for symptoms now holding onto false hope 😂 will wait and see if AF arrives and test again on 27th if doesnt turn up xx

@Mc3209 omg!!! So happy for you, that's amazing. Hope to see some more BFP in this thread xxx

Mc3209 · 22/02/2020 03:44

@Juno231 it's all a bit surreal. I tested with clear blue at 13dpo, the 6 days early one, as I ran out of FRER. May be that's why.

Sitchervice · 22/02/2020 04:18

Got my BFN 😂 don't even know why I tested

She knows I'm trying I was like oh cant I just have him and you have another 😂 she keeps giving me false hope saying it wont take long but I'm convinced I'm just going to be one of those people who take atleast a year! I have no luck honestly with anything Haha xxx

@abby25 my AF was due 4 days ago. And I'm BFN 🙄

Elley2912 · 22/02/2020 08:50

I got positive OPK on 11th and 12th so I think that makes me 9 or 10 DPO today??? I think I've been counting this wrong the whole time. Because ovulation is really happening the day or so after the positive OPK??

pineapple2 · 22/02/2020 10:40

11/12 dpo. From my previous posts I have tested at 9dpo and 10dpo (because I couldn't help it) and was bfn..
Trying to resist today so I'm not further disappointed. Symptoms have been mild cramping last night.
I know af is coming just a matter of when. Due the 27th.
How's everyone else getting on

primrose2020 · 22/02/2020 12:09

I'm going to wait and see it AF shows up if I can. I really don't feel any different to normal months so think I'm out, but can't squash that hopeful niggle saying I could be in!! Have an FRER waiting but trying to resist it xx

Juno231 · 22/02/2020 12:38

@Sitchervice think maybe pregnacare has lengthened your cycle?

@primrose2020 bear in mind most people don't have symptoms before being overdue on AF!

Sitchervice · 22/02/2020 14:48

@Juno231 hmm not sure. I've had it once where I had a UTI (im prone to them sometimes without symptoms) it took me to 37 weeks then AF so I'm going to get that checked. I can talk with the doctor then about it.

I cant deal with this waiting!!! Never in my life has 2 weeks been so slow! Just want AF to hurry up now so I can get at it again! Hoping it comes early to save my sanity 🤣 xxx

Getting cramping again feels like period is about to come xxx

OP posts:
Elley2912 · 22/02/2020 17:09

It's so hard not to keep testing haha. I just sent my husband out to buy me some more. I don't trust the cheap tests I have. I didn't read the reviews before I ordered them but they're all terrible!

I don't wanna waste more tests so I'm going to wait until Wednesday (AF will be missed by then) and test then!
