Testing around 13th May

[Sussexbysea]

Hi all,

I joined a similar thread last month and found it really supportive. It’d be great to hear from others.

We’ve been trying for number 2 for two years now and each month gets more emotionally difficult. Xx

Xx

That looks good @kim160790, fingers crossed it all works out for you.

@SmileyT thanks, caved in and tested this aft and no joy it’s a BFN. On to the next month

Oh sorry to hear that. You aren't out until AF arrives though so see how you get on over the next few days.

@Twinkletoes85 definitely not out until AF arrives as you say you haven't been tracking closely so may be a few days out, how many days ago did you see the fertile CM? If you haven't had regular periods sometimes it will predict random days on apps aswell. Stay hopeful xx

Same here... just caved and did a FRER and it came back negative... just got to wait for AF now. 😭😭 Good luck everyone!

@Skyla01 @SmileyT thank you ladies. I really can’t remember which days it was, it was a weekday as I was working but they all blend into one a bit atm! It was around when the app said. I remember when I was trying in a past life and one month I went cd 40 before af. Total anomaly and I was regular before and after that month so I’m thinking I might just have a really long month again.

@wishfulthinking101 I’m sorry to hear that, it really knocks you doesn’t it. Fingers crossed next month is our month

So many BFP’s, hoping they send signs to my uterus 😂

@hayho87 how you doing today?

Sorry if this is TMI but does everyone here get obvious fertile CM around ovulation?

I get so stressed about this as I don't think I've ever noticed it once since I came off the pill back in November 😖

I get watery but never the egg white stretchy stuff. Do you think that's an issue?

@TTCgee some months I do, some I don’t. Research shows that having egg white mucus is the best as it helps the sperm stay

God got such an upset stomach this evening. Went to the toilet and I'm sure I've got implantation bleeding. Feeling really nauseous and shaky. Haven't really had an appetite all day. Or could just be AF but I never get it 3 days early and it's just a really slight tinge of blood 🧐

Congrats! @kim160790

Also congrats @kim160790 !! Xxx

@Bailey93 sorry you're poorly. Fc it's implantation and not af!

@Bailey93 Oooo that sounds very hopeful 🙏 I'm experiencing similar symptoms, I could have sworn I saw a tiny bit of pale pink blood which I NEVER GET... only time I had a patch of pink blood was my first pregnancy. I'm feeling overwhelmed and I hope this is a start of something as I have been feeling a bit down in the dumps and extremely tiredddd.
One day I'm getting the usual preg symptoms and other days it's AF like symptoms
Ughgh my head hurts!!

@Sussexbysea well today was my birthday and had a lovely day, absolutely nothing symptom wise which is typical leading up to AF for me so I reckon I'm out. I'm due on Wednesday xx

@kim160790 congratulationssss!!!
🙏🙏 prayers for you and your journey x

@TTCgee Yeah, my only way of detecting ovulation this month was a sudden "extra wetness" sorry tmi. But I've only been paying attention to it for a little while so not sure it happens every cycle.

@CaramelTart23 thank you and good luck to you too! 🥰 x

I'm 12dpo and tested this morning with FRER and got a BFN 🥺 Feeling a bit down about it as my hopes were fairly up this month. Glad that I tested though as I can move on.

Hope everyone is doing well.

@Twinkletoes85 well just remember that a long cycle means that you ovulated late as luteal phase stays the same so maybe keep DTD regularly as you may still catch this month just later than you expected🤞

@TTCgee this is my first full month checking but I didn't notice any EWCM apart from one blob and not even 100% of that, I tried lube to help it out

HB for yesterday @hayho87 🥳

Hope it's not AF spotting for either of you and in a few days you get your BFPs @CaramelTart23 @Bailey93

@vintagemoo implantation can happen up to 12dpo so hope it's just too early to test for you, but sorry you're feeling down, if AF does arrive treat yourself to something nice and remember that it's then the start of a new cycle for you with new hope xx

Thanks @SmileyT. Really appreciate your message.

Bleeding has got worse this morning so pretty sure it's AF. Has anyone experienced bright red implantation bleeding? I doubt it. Probably wishful thinking. I can't stop holding on this month. There was definitely a line on that test I did 11dpo, so was either a chemical or the blue tests really are just rubbish.

@vintagemoo I agree with smiley. Hopefully it's still just too early. I've known people not get their bfp until around 16/17 dpo. So don't count yourself out just yet. Maybe do something for you today and just have a day of self care. I should definitely be taking my own advice here.

@hayho87 happy birthday for yesterday. Fingers crossed for some better news for you.

I’m not having any AF symptoms at all. I usually get loads of creamy CM and cramps, but this month, nothing. I’m due on Friday/ Saturday. Anyone else in the same situation?

@Sussexbysea when are you thinking of testing? I'm due AF any day. I usually get cramps the day before but nothing yet. It's just a waiting game but trying to distract myself. I guess it's good news we don't have pre-AF symptoms yet! However I'm not overly confident, cramps could start any minute for me and that would be that. Need to try and stay busy the next couple of days!

Sorry to those with BFN/ AF. I know how much it sucks. But at least we get a fresh start each month.

3rd day of brown spotting...due on tomorrow. I don’t usually have spotting this long..maybe just a half a day before...body is playing tricks on me!!
Happy birthday @hayho87! I hope you get That BFP as a late present.
Lots of love to those with AF and BFNs xxxx
