AF due on 28th - waiting to test anyone else?

[Curious012]

Just that really - trying to keep away from the early testing. Anyone else waiting?

@curious012 af due on the 28th for me also but not sure when to test I've been having quiet bad cramps over last night and today so thinking af is on the way but far to early as I have 31-35 day cycles!

@NicoleR14 could be implantation cramps maybe? Fingers crossed, like you say its a bit early for AF cramps!
So tempting to test but I've wasted so many tests too early I'm determined to wait it out this month and trying not to symptom spot! Is this your first? X

@curious012 I was thinking that but I'm also trying not to get my hopes up! I've done the same I've wasted far too much money on tests so I'm deffo going to wait until af is over due before testing! Yes this will be our first I'm 21 and dh is 20 how about you?

Hi! 8DPO here, cycle #7. AF due 26th (25ish day cycles) but going to wait til 28th to test as I’ll be 14DPO by then (if I get there that is). Boobs are a bit sore today and had cramping this evening, trying not to think about it though!

@NicoleR14 fingers crossed - a week seems like such a long time to find out at this stage. Yes our first too, had a few months of being off contraception and a sort of see if it happens attitude, this is the first proper month of taking it seriously!

@nat4392 hi! Nice that there's a few of us testing around the same day sending lots of luck to you! Definately the same trying not to think about it but I feel like my boobs are really heavy today (although I'm sure this is probably in my head)

@curious012 have you tested yet?

@NicoleR14 not yet - no AF yet but I'm sure it's coming... What about you? x

Hi ladies I'm new on here so just getting the hang of it 😂 af due 21st. Is this everyone's first or do you have older little ones?x

@curious012 no af for me as well have no symptoms of her coming but having bfn tests!

@mama8585 hiya! All new for me too it's my first - this is the first cycle 'properly' trying although since coming off contraception I've been convinced every month I'm going to be pregnant no luck yet!
Is this your first?
@NicoleR14 that's so annoying you would rather just know either way although you're not out until AF comes. Are your cycles regular? Normally I wake up on the day of AF and she's already here but I'm positive by tonight she will be, got cramps and am irritable (although that might just be from isolating and eating all the snacks in my house!)

Hi, I'm due AF on 30th, although I had (what I think was) OV bleeding for the first time ever this month, which makes me believe I should be due on today!
I've asked husband to hide the tests from me until next week so I don't give in to early testing! Not long to wait now, although as I'm sure you all know, the days feel LOOOOONG.

Any sign for you, OP? Keeping my fingers crossed for everybody trying this month x

@emiliet123 hi!
Good shout on making your other half hide the tests I've been quite good this time, with everything else going on I've managed to stay away. Just waiting patiently for AF to turn up if no sign by tomorrow I'll definately test first thing but I think I'll be out by then.
Got my fingers crossed for you will you test on Mon then? X

I have 32 day cycles I only had 1 34 day cycle and that was after my cp first month of ttc! Other than that it's usually between day 30 and 32 I don't feel crampy and my boobs is still sore usually when af is ready to come my boob pain dies down a bit!

Haha I know I'm going to regret it, there isn't a chance he'll give in to my pestering! If there's NO sign on Monday then I'll ask him to get out one of the cheapies, and if no sign by next Friday, we'll crack open a Clearblue!

Last time I was pregnant (sadly, we lost her at 24 weeks), I had NO PMS symptoms like I usually do, no sore boobs, no massive mood swings, just a little bit of cramping - this month I'm kinda the same so I'm feeling really hopeful! (But also, it's the first full month of trying since we lost her so I'm also terrified)

Have you been doing any symptom spotting?

@Curious012 no my 5th! My eldest is 15 and my youngest is 8, they are all my ex husband's so this will be my first (& last lol) with my partner xx

Morning all - no AF but went the toilet last night and there was the teeniest bit of blood when I wiped (TMI!) - expected AF but still nothing!! Surely it's too late for implantation bleeding?.. Still haven't taken a test just because I'm convinced AF is still coming and I can't be bothered to waste a good one (no cheapies in!) hope everyone's alright today.

@NicoleR14 how are you today, any sign of AF?

@emiliet123 so sorry to hear about your loss got my fingers crossed for you! I honestly feel exactly the same as normal and I've broken out so all very typical of normal PMS. Just sure this isn't the month for me!

@MAMA8585 ah amazing! Hope all goes well for you, did you fall easily with your older children x

@Curious012 good morning I did fall easily with my other children, I was younger tho so I'm sure that helped lol. Ive never tracked my cycles with the other children or used any ovulation tests etc so this time I feel more under pressure for some reason lol x

@curious012 how many dpo are you? Implantation can last until 12dpo I think! No af for me yet the app is telling me I'm 2 days late but I did have a 34 day cycle when my af finally returned so I could just be having a longer cycle than usual I have been doing the one step ic but they are all negative I'd expect them to have lines by now if I was pg!

@mama8585 hopefully all goes well for this time as well. I know what you mean though I've never known what my body should b we doing or paid so much attention before!!
@NicoleR14 I should be 13 DPO today, still nothing but a tiny bit spotting. going to have to test at some point today otherwise I'm going to go nuts. I'm just trying to be patient!
Hopefully you're not out yet but if you are having a longer cycle you almost just want AF to come so you can start tracking again.

Hi everyone
May I join? I'm about 12-13dpo, I'm due on from today till Tuesday, been testing from a few days ago till today but all negative, do you think I'm testing to early or do you think I'm out this month? I have really really sore, heavy and swollen boobs, really bloated and constipated and gassy, headaches, light cramping and twinges down below, feeling dizzy and lightheaded, i have creamy lotion like discharge, sometimes watery, I feel really wet down below like I have come on but I haven't ( sorry tmi ), I keep feeling like I'm coming on but nothing, keep feeling sick, I have gone off my food a bit but not sure if it's cause I'm really constipated and uncomfortable. How is everyone else? X

Hey, so I gave in and tested today - day before my app is telling me I’m due on... BFN! 😖 sort of expected it because I’m in a bit of a grump today anyway.

@laurah92 keep positive! It’s not over until AF arrives, as they say 👍🏼 Xx

AF finally came I knew it! So definately out this month, at least I can start tracking again. What do all of you use to track ovulation? I've been using flo and clue together as my cycles are pretty regular and it comes up with about a day apart but I've just ordered ovulation sticks to see how I get on with those.
Hope everyone is OK today sending lots of luck everyone's way!

I was 1 day late but af showed her ugly face this morning yeasterday I had a feeling I was out tho as as my symptoms started to disappear and started to get cramping that got stronger and stronger so on to the next month through the night. I ordered the Clearblue advanced ovulation kit and a basal thermometer today as soon as af showed up to make myself feel better and prepare for this month hopefully we will have some luck this month 🤞 x

@laurah92 ah so annoying! In it for another month, onwards and upwards!
Let us know how you get on with the thermometer as well I wanted to get one but I thought I might get on better with the sticks, we shall see..
What cycle is this for you?
Fingers crossed April is the month for us! X

I'm now going onto my third cycle of ttc, what about you? I only started using ovulation kits with the cycle just gone tho. As I was on the pill for so long and only come off at the beginning of January I'm still learning my cycles so really need to pinpoint ovulation so thought this cycle I would use both methods to see if I can pinpoint it better. 🤞this is our month c
