@professorastrocat it's hard isn't it.
I've found just keeping busy helps a great deal.

Not sure what my cycles are doing though.. had a withdrawal November... no period December... a period jan and nothing so far this morning... who knows 🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️

MrsTwentySeven · 07/02/2020 21:23

Sorry @Elmlee we missed your thread

@professorastrocat how many dpo are you ? If you feel you're obsessing, always remember I opened up a test and am getting hopeful about an evap line Hmm Nothing beats that!

professorastrocat · 07/02/2020 21:34

@MrsTwentySeven haha! True 😀 I could just test over the weekend but i decided I wouldn't for this cycle and I'm ridiculously stubborn so need to stick to the plan. I'm 10dpo today.

@Elmlee sounds frustrating, fingers crossed your cycles settle very soon

Anon87 · 07/02/2020 22:37

@notetaker Whilst that's a very generous offer.... 😂

Hopefully tomorrow's the last day of AF and can get back to it. Fuming with this Fem app (just posted a separate thread). My first true cycle I can track and learn and google email me to say the subscription has been cancelled 4 days after I've paid for 3 months. 😡

littletandme · 07/02/2020 22:46

@MrsTwentySeven AF arrived in full force overnight so it's CD1 of cycle 2 for me today! Really hope you get a positive line on that FRER. But if not I've got the March bus warming up nicely!

Bee1710 · 07/02/2020 23:15

Hello everyone!! Hope you all are doing well and hope to see BFPs coming soon. This is my first cycle ttc after my miscarriage in December.. having a few positive signs as getting creamy discharge so hoping for a bfp but well we never know.. also I only check cm for ovulation and felt that I ovulated cd13 or 14 as i also got ovulation pains. So will test on Tuesday perhaps. Hoping for the best xx

Jellybean252 · 08/02/2020 01:00

@hatepickinganame I too still haven't come on!!!! What is going on?! Now 4 days late. I'm getting some cm but apart from that no other symptoms.
I kind of don't want to test! Because after having this hope dangled infront of me it would be cruel to see a BFN

So there's a couple of us on this bus who are late!!!! Keep us updated on who's going to test. Big good luck to everyone!!!
@MrsTwentySeven

Ylladyoll · 08/02/2020 01:23

I'm 2 days late no sign at all, just cm like you, my periods have been bang on every month could set a timer by them. @Jellybean252 are you normally bang on monthly cycles?

MrsTwentySeven · 08/02/2020 07:11

No AF
BFN on FRER
I’ve resigned myself to thinking I had an LH surge but did not ovulate :( Of all the cycles that could have happened...had to be when we TTC for the first time Sad

Lola871 · 08/02/2020 07:25

Sorry @MrsTwentySeven, you're not out though, you still could have caught it if you ov'd later, or some people don't get their BFP until much later!

MrsTwentySeven · 08/02/2020 07:31

You’re right @lola871 ...though I’m just going to not think about it now.
Good luck to you!

Hatepickinganame · 08/02/2020 08:11

@MrsTwentySeven sorry to hear that. still no af here either, really need to think about doing a test but i dont want to see a bfn 🙄

OP posts:
MrsTwentySeven · 08/02/2020 08:18

@hatepickinganame you’re doing the right thing
I hope it’s good news for you!! They say to wait a week and then test ...I am not testing anymore 😣

Hatepickinganame · 08/02/2020 08:54

Well @MrsTwentySeven i dont think ill need, cramps have finally arrived, so af will be here soon enough 😔 on the bright side, i think that means i ovulated on cd15 when i had that second lot of cramping so at least i know that much. Hope everyone has a good day!!

Bumblebee413 · 08/02/2020 08:55

I'm out! AF arrived this morning. Quite obviously the minute after I got a BFN. It was exciting hoping though. Although I did have a major freak out last night over how we would cope finance wise with the new home. So at least I can do a bit more saving to reassure myself!

Fingers crossed for everyone else. Thank you for being my neurotic pant checking buddies. You're all amazing x

paintfairy · 08/02/2020 09:50

I actually think we treat our bodies like a proven science experiment and they aren't? I've read a few people saying they couldn't have conceived when it looked like they should have ovulated. We are relying on our hormones to be spot on (for these tests) and I think maybe it doesn't work that way? We are all different.
I also wonder if we are setting ourselves up to fail by only TTC when tests say to? Which is why maybe smep works, because you literally just do it anyway from CD8 regardless? I'm on CD7 today. I started yesterday and told DH we will be doing it every other day. My clearblue shows negative (usually use cheap one step opks) but I'm not taking any risks. 😂

@MrsTwentySeven I suspect you did ovulate. Just not when you thought you did? Likely it was maybe later? Hence why AF is late. However, TTC seems to send your cycles mad anyway. And a few people have said it. Whether its the upset of having strange things suddenly happen down there or whether its because we are mental and therefore stress, I'm not sure. But I had things happen this month I never have before!

Jellybean252 · 08/02/2020 10:07

@ylladyoll yes my periods are usually very regular! Maybe a day off if that. Don't know what's going on this month!

Ylladyoll · 08/02/2020 10:11

Still nothing today and my clue app popped up and said.. your period seems late lol anyway I will test again next weekend as I really dont want to spend money on tests :/

professorastrocat · 08/02/2020 10:16

@paintfairy agreed! 😊

MummyBearBoo · 08/02/2020 10:20

Hi can I join testing tomorrow my period is 3 days late but I've had 2 TFMRs just decided to start trying last month so think unlikely I'll conceive 1st time. I think maybe my cycle is being stupid I used OPKs but didn't get a positive one but I'm going from the day I got the strongest line on coz after that it got fainter again!! First two pregnancies were accidental 3rd time I tried for 3 months then had a chemical then conceived on. 5 months and had TFMR in July! Don't like to test too early coz when I had the chemical my period came 4 days late I tested when my period was a day late got a BFP but the next day it went to BFN! Good luck all xx

MrsTwentySeven · 08/02/2020 10:28

@paintfairy thank you! It’s absolutely crazy, isn’t it. My CB digital had a static smiley on the 21st January. I suppose even static only means LH surged ....so likely to ovulate soon, cannot confirm actual ovulation. Ahh who knows. Like you say, TTC must drive the body crazy! Like since I first had AF....it’s never had the possibility of a possible “fertilisation” around my fertile window so now maybe it’s confused.com haha

@Jellybean252 how many days is AF late for you? I feel your pain!

Welcome @MummyBearBoo :) Thank you for sharing your story with us

MrsTwentySeven · 08/02/2020 10:29

Sorry just scrolled up @Jellybean252 4 days! Yikes! What is happening 😭 I hope you get a BFP!!

Posharmchairs · 08/02/2020 10:57

Still hanging around like a bad smell. I have long cycles so it feels like forever before it gets exciting again. Cd 16 for me, due to ovulate on valentines and test at the end of the month. However plan to start dtd and opk’s from tomorrow.
Today I am very hung over and have in laws visiting 🤦🏼‍♀️. It is a not a day for doing a bd!

Much luck to those still holding out for a bfp in the coming days!

MrsTwentySeven · 08/02/2020 11:27

@MimiArm long time no see...where are you....

@posharmchairs haha that made me chuckle!!

I am currently debating peeing on an OPK test for fun...so thats how my Saturday is going...

Hello new levels of crazy

MummyBearBoo · 08/02/2020 11:41
