March Bus - AF due March 11th

[MamaPixie]

HHello everyone - looking for some March friends to go through the dreaded TWW with 😁 DPO -3, AF due March 11.

Been on another thread for 4 cycles now but everyone on there seems to have gotten a BFP now apart from me 🤷🏽‍♀️ Hoping that we can support each other through this cycle and continue to do so for us that get BFNs and need to keep positive for each other.

Little bit about me - 36, 1 DS 15, TTC second child with partner, cycle 5, 1 early MC last cycle, 1 anovulation cycle in December - hoping this will be our month 💪🏼😍

Day 26 out of a 28 day cycle for me and I got a BFN on a fres this morning my boobs have been a bit sore for about a week and I've been mega hormonal/emotional, but that could be extended PMS and stress. So difficult that the symptoms of pregnancy and being premenstrual are so similar! Hope you're all doing well today x

@2020wish oh my goodness I'm crossing everything for you!! You could be a late implanter so definitely possible 😊 it wouldn't be bad, if it's a faint line it would indicate that there's definitely a presence of HCG therefore you've already implanted and you wouldn't menstruate. If you did menstruate it may just be light but nothing negative would happen to the blastocyst as it's implanted already as your uterus was thick enough at that time xx

@Orangepeel105 it's frustrating isn't it?? I've had exactly the same thing 3 days after ovulation for the last 3 cycles 🙈 definitely got another BFN on a frer this morning too - almost praying for Wed already so AF can stop me hoping and put me out of my misery haha xx

@MrsMeow2019 thanks! Me too... although, someone on another thread I made about possible false positives on CB digital said that they had two! So now I'm wondering if it was a false positive.

All other tests have been incredibly faint, given that my HCG would now have doubled as it's 72-hours since the first BFP on the digital test I should have a much darker line. If anything, they're getting lighter.

My gut tells me this is a CP or it was a false positive. AF due tomorrow.

Hi all,

Hoping to join the band wagon! Stopped birth control pill early Jan, had 1st period exactly 4weeks later. 5 days of light bleeding, 1 day break followed by 3 days spotting. I'm using clue to help with dates of ovulating but never tracked ovulation before so DTD alot mid cycle just in case. Had brown spotting 1st, 2nd and 4th March but literally 1 wipe and then nothing. AF was due 7th March and now on the 9th with no AF and no cramps and BFN. Slight spotting today but only when wiping. Would be nice to hear others stories whilst waiting for BFP

@MamaPixie I know what you mean! I'd rather just know definitively so I can at least have one glass of wine or something! Roll on Wednesday!

@2020wish congratulations sounds positive to me!! I think a faint line the day before AF is due is very normal as teachnically they're designed for testing the day AFTER your missed period so retest again in 2 days 🥳🥳 good luck!! Let us know 😊

@Pix2 welcome and good luck!

Thank you @Pink15
Hate playing the waiting game so been trying to take my mind off it and my OH has banned hpts from house till friday lol x

No AF today, but I am feeling very bloated and tender across my belly. I don't know what pregnancy feels like, so I'm worried this is AF prepping come with a vengeance this month. Usually I don't have any symptoms before AF (other than a bit of emotion) and on day 1 of AF with cramps. Is the bloated feeling normal?

Hey ladies do you mind if I join you? I’m on cycle day 14 (due to ovulate around day 21 according to my app!) be nice to share the journey with some others!!

:( af showed today and neg test.. why would I get a positive yesterday? So upset

@2020wish Sorry to hear that, 2020wish :( It's so hard on you when your hopes are up! Keeping everything crossed for you for next cycle 🤞❤️

@Pink15 Forgot to reply the other day! I know, I'm not sure how I'll hold off until Friday but I can't take the constant disappointment so I'll try my best 😂 Have you got any symptoms now? Hopefully it's good news if you test tomorrow!

@2020wish really sorry to hear that. Today you will probably feel pretty awful but wake up tomorrow ready for the next cycle ❤️

Aww @2020wish so sorry to hear that..sending positiveness and good luck for next time

I'm not sure how many dpo I am as only 2nd cycle since stopping birth control but my AF was due Saturday just gone and still waiting for it. BFN yesterday so not sure what to think..

Good luck all

I woke up this morning and the insane bloated feeling had subsided. So I did wait every rational TTC woman would do... went online and bought some tests to be delivered now. I just had to know if my previous CBD was false positive or not! Every other test was so faint, I convinced myself that I was seeing evap/indent lines and AF would rear her ugly head.

Happy to report, got 2 BFP on my 3rd wee of the day .

I think I might spend the rest of the day crying. Thank you everyone who sent good vibes and positive thoughts. Returning them all to you tenfold, especially those still TTC xx

@jazzibelle congrats!! So happy for u

Thanks @2020wish, sending you a big hug today xx

@2020wish so sorry to hear that :( sending you big hugs xx

@jazzibelle congratulations! Amazing news 🥳 do you know how those clear blue calculates the weeks Cos if you've missed your period does that not make you 4 weeks Cos they calculate due date from first day of last period? Or do those tests just take it literally? Always confused me haha x

@KerryW87 so I tested this morning couldn't wait anymore! 😂 so 5 days before AF (10 dpo). I think I'm going crazy this morning with a bright torch light on my phone shining on the strip I thought I saw a very very faint positive so I kept it to look at after work and now it's disappeared. Today I did feel a bit constipated which is weird tbh as if I'm anxious about something it's normally the opposite - sorry if tmi. So I guess I'll test again tomorrow. Trying not to get my hopes up.
Have you got any symptoms?

Congrats @jazzibelle that's great !

I'm on CD 31 now, no AF but BFN's think we're going to look into our fertility treatment options now, we're coming into some money through the sale of our house which might be enough to help 🤞🏻

@Pink15 ha ha, I thought the same thing! According to the CB leaflet, their weeks is the time since conception, and they have as part of the same table "how your doctor will date your pregnancy". Based on my AF dates, I'll technically be 4-weeks tomorrow, but it's really 2 weeks since we conceived.

@Pink15 😂 I've been there! Oh, here's hoping there's something to that faint positive then! 🤞🤞 Are you going to test again tomorrow or wait a couple of days? I read constipation is a symptom actually? Everything seems like a symptom 😂😫

I've had cramps for the past 4 days, AF isn't due until Friday and my boobs have been a bit sore since yesterday but I do get that before AF too so no exciting symptoms. My wee sister announced her pregnancy two weeks ago which I'm DELIGHTED about, but it's made me emotional about not getting anywhere 😭

@jazzibelle oh that makes sense!! I've never bought a CB one so not seen that table. When will you make a doctors appointment? :)

@KerryW87 haha probably tomorrow morning! Cos if I don't then by the evening I'll be wondering and early morning is better Ive heard! I'm pretty sure it's all in my head haha - I google constipation and apparently it's usually like at 2-3 months 😂so not yet. Normally I get sore boobs before AF so expecting that about tomorrow.
Ah that great news about your sister! But understand it's difficult for you! Does she know you're trying to conceive too? X

Congrats @jazzibelle

Sending good luck to everyone else TTC

AF is now 3 days late for me..seriously thought she arrived earlier as felt a "gush" down below (sorry tmi) but nope just a lot of cm, had slight spotting yesterday with BFN but nothing today..if shes coming then wish she would just show up already!

@Pix2 did you do a pregnancy test? :)
