Not necessarily, sometimes it's take a bit of time to come up but if your usually quite regular then it's a good sign that AF is still not here.

Have you any other symptoms ?

When I was pregnant with my daughter I had pretty sore boobs most of the first month, although it's gets a bit more uncomfortable the more in to the pregnancy you get.

I remember having pulling pains but again that was a bit later, I was mostly exhausted and had sore boobs.

Your not out until AF comes so just keep thinking about that x

NicoleR14 · 29/03/2020 14:51

@carol1980 I didn't have any sore boobs until 12/13dpo and then my left boob got quiet sore I swore they changed colour my dh agreed but yesterday they went back to normal and same today a bit sore and heavy but nothing major I do have a uti and my kidneys is quiet sore and I seem to be having problems with my bowel but I have ibd and feeling extremely sick but I can't put any of those down to pregnancy because I get those every other month I did have extremely bad cramps from 7dpo to 10dpo but they stopped so I don't know what to think!

@Carol1980 really feeling you I mean I couldn't be half an hour to be honest! We brought back toys etc and that seemed to work, I also stopped talking about the need to have sex because I was ovulating which has helped, can anyone tell me what Clomid is? Keep seeing posts about it, @NicoleR14 I'd say take caution hun I've had really big pink evaps on one steps :( I'm about to buy in bulk for next month but unsure what ones to go for, obsessive mad woman 😂😪

Carol1980 · 29/03/2020 15:02

Clomid is a drug that I think helps ovulation, I think people who have been to the doctor about problem with conception are given it to see if it's helps x

Carol1980 · 29/03/2020 15:09

Clomid

@Carol1980 oh :( I ovulate I just don't get any stick beans :( nervous to see what the sperm test says - should arrive tomorrow xx

NicoleR14 · 29/03/2020 16:20

@shelly10111 I've had the same that's why I'm not trusting them until there is a line! No af type cramps yet I hope it's not just playing with me and comes later and I get my bfp!

OP posts:
Carol1980 · 29/03/2020 16:48

I feel a bit lost right now 🤷‍♀️

Can't help but get a bit upset as we've just tried again while our daughter was sleeping and again no ejaculation.......honestly I'm completely defeated now, we have such a short window and I hate getting upset about it in front on my husband as my worry is that it will make him feel even more pressure 🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️

Bbutterfly · 29/03/2020 17:43

Oh @Carol1980 I'm sorry you didn't have any luck must be awful. I wonder what is causing this block for your husband. He must be feeling terrible too. I hope you are ok.
@shelly10111 I'm the same ovulating like clock work but nothing sticking. The past two months I literally couldn't have done more. It's so stressful and we're trying for our first. Where are you getting this sperm test I might get one ♥️ xx

Carol1980 · 29/03/2020 17:54

@Bbutterfly
My husband and I did a sperm test kit a few years ago and just got it out of boots x

shelly10111 · 29/03/2020 17:57

@Carol1980 stick with it and have hope !
@Bbutterfly I've done everything, I'm taking folic every day along with all vitamins and iron, nothing works, I have period pains mild again today, no spotting which is good but I'm feeling like I'm out, 12dpo tomorrow and if I get a stark white test I'll just await my god awful period 😭😂

NicoleR14 · 30/03/2020 08:06

Hi ladies! Bfn for me this morning and no sign of af I am now 3 days late I don't know what to do I don't want to bother the gp but at the same time I haven't had a 34 day cycle since my cp our first month of ttc it's been regular 30-32 since December! I couldn't of ovulated later either what is going on with me 😩

NicoleR14 · 30/03/2020 08:38

@shelly10111 did you test this morning?

OP posts:
Littlepeas2 · 30/03/2020 08:48

Hi @NicoleR14 I’m also day 34 and BFN today! But I do often have 34 day cycles so my AF could come any point today. Do you feel any different?

NicoleR14 · 30/03/2020 08:52

@littlepeas2 no i don't feel any different a bit more sick than usual I had extreme sharp and sore pains at my left side last night which I presumed af was coming or it was my gland but nothing this morning! I wish af would come or I got my bfp at least if af came it would give me peace of mind!

OP posts:
Littlepeas2 · 30/03/2020 08:54

Yes being in limbo is so frustrating! I normally spot the day before (13dpo) and full flow as soon as I’m awake but you watch her today keep me waiting all day. I just want her to come now so I can crack on with the next cycle! You must feel the same!!

NicoleR14 · 30/03/2020 08:59

@littlepeas2 its horrible being in limbo I'm 3 days late and no signs of her anywhere and not even a snif of a bfp I am going to buy frer today and do it that way I'll know for sure these one steps are terrible I've had lines on them all since yesterday but no blazing bfp so if I get a frer I'll know if there's no line it's just a waiting game for af! I hope she doesn't keep you waiting all day I hate when that happens 🙄

OP posts:
shelly10111 · 30/03/2020 09:53

Morning ladies @NicoleR14 well I'm having a weird one and don't want to get any hope is as I've had cramps all week but I've not joke been so cranky for two days with immense cramps at 10dpo - 12dpo I've tested with same tests I've used all week and there's a shadow of a line, could be nothing and that's what I'm going by for now, I have a couple more strips so will test tomorrow but praying maybe all that pain could have been egg implanting and irritating my womb .... I can pray anyway haha xxx

NicoleR14 · 30/03/2020 12:00

@shelly10111 I hope so for you too! I've gave up testing I will test in a week if af doesn't arrive apparently if your over due af by 5 days it's considered a missed period I've on CD 34 so I'll wait until CD 40 if she doesn't arrive to test again it doesn't feel like she's coming 🙄

OP posts:
shelly10111 · 30/03/2020 12:06

@NicoleR14 I'm not hopeful atall as the line is barely there but used the same tests and had no evaps so praying is all I can do that it's the start of a line :( but not holding my breath xx

NicoleR14 · 30/03/2020 12:13

Hopefully it is I've had the same with those silly one step tests loads of lines on them but wouldn't say they were positive I was going to buy a frer but if they aren't giving me a sure answer why spend loads of tests!

OP posts:
dizzy85 · 30/03/2020 12:27

@NicoleR14 fingers crossed for your frer hope your ok x

Donnat89 · 30/03/2020 12:33

Morning ladies ! Hope you are all ok , I've just finished AF so looking forward to this cycle ! X

Carol1980 · 30/03/2020 12:33

Hi ladies,

Woo boo managed to DTD and I'm officially inseminated now so just have to wait !!

Sorry way TMI but honestly such a relief, I'll be bloody surprised if we get pregnant though as I think I ovulated earlier on in the day as the pain in my right side stopped just after midnight x

Anyway, I've always used the one step early on with trying to see if I was pregnant, in the past couple of months I've had absolutely nothing on it, no hint of a line, no evap line etc so if your getting a hint of a line that's a really really really good sign !!
Don't give up hope yet, like I've said before every day following your missed period is a good sign x
Just take it a day at a time x

If your going to get a frer, make sure your using first morning urine or at least sips of water etc for 4 hours x

Honestly though if your getting lines on the one step it's a very good sign, it's hard to get a false positive on these things and certainly not at the rate you have so far x

Post a pic of your latest one and we can have a look ?

shelly10111 · 30/03/2020 13:56

Yay @Carol1980 go you and your partner haha !! Thanks ladies yes I'm clinging onto a inch of hope but with so many chemicals etc I just can't get hopes up, however I put to to my daughters tests from 7 years ago (in her baby book) and the line is virtually the same so I just take ages to build hcg - really going to pray but count myself out so I don't get too hopeful - will retest tomorow 13dpo and hope for a line 😔🤩🥺
