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

@SewingAddict419 have you taken a test?
@mrsmumsy00 good luck for Thursday! You should get a clear result on a frer by then.

@Bailey93 Yes, so much easier said than done isn't it. I've now got super sore breasts and nipples, and don't remember having this with AF, but maybe I just never thought much of it? Ah?!!

Hope you are taking a break x

Good luck everyone who's testing in the next few days!

Is anyone starting a new cycle? Xxx

@TTCgee I'm waiting for AF with BFNs, it's agonising waiting for something to happen with your body isn't it. I think most of us had BFNs this cycle so good to have people to carry on the thread with

@Skyla01 I will in the morning

@SewingAddict419 ooh good luck!!

@Skyla01 Thanks, I'm gonna need it haha

@lucymagoo awww I so hope you do get your BFP but yesss it's so hard.

I've just ordered some presseed to try this month so will let you all know how it goes. Has anyone else tried that?

Also, does anyone track BBT? Just started a few days ago but haven't got a clue what I'm doing really 😂

@TTCgee I've tried preseed and one thing I'd say is use it sparingly, I use about half the amount they recommend 🙈 I also track BBT its my first full month but it was nice to see id ovulated by a clear shift in temp the day afterwards 🤗

@SmileyT oooh thank you for the advice! Other half is definitely skeptical! He thinks I'm trying too hard (which I definitely am) and that we should just relax and let it happen - but just can't seem to stop myself googling things that might help and then thinking 'if I do that it might speed it up'

Ahh that's good news - hoping that I also see the obvious signs of ovulation this month then I might be able to relax a little more! Xxx

@TTCgee my OH did say it was like bonjela but I then stopped telling him I was putting it in and just used less 😐

I've woken up in the dead of night and can't go back to sleep so it looks like I'll have to wait another day to test 😩

Not much to update from me, as normally day before AF is due, I have zero symptoms. I never get any warning she's coming, literally get cramps as soon as bleeding starts so I definitely believe I'm out now! Would have been lovely to get bfp this month as yesterday was our wedding anniversary but on to next month!

@SewingAddict419 oh no, why can't you test today? You are 2 days late aren't you 🤞 for your BFP

@hayho87 sorry to hear you’re out for this month. See you on the next thread.

@SewingAddict419 good luck testing. Any wee from today should be ok if you are late

Morning everyone.

How is everyone today? Any updates

@BbyBx2 I’m getting some cramps this morning so I think AF is on her way.

Hi everyone, do you mind if I join? I'm driving myself absolutely bananas and due to test around the same time as many in this group! Congrats on the BFPs and for those still waiting - good luck!

AF due Sunday just gone. I had my usual PMS symptoms so figured I was out and just wanted my period to come so I could start again! On Sunday I had a tiny amount of light red blood when I wiped only, then tiny amount of spotting on Sunday and Monday. Nothing yesterday. This is very unusual for me as I'm normally fully into it by this time of my cycle! But I do feel a heaviness in my uterus which would normally be accompanied by a period... Just to explain why I've absolutely lost my mind this month!

I don't keep tests in the house so I guess I'll need to get one with my next shop just to confirm either way. I'm pretty certain AF is just late though and playing tricks... So frustrating!

@Sussexbysea When was AF due? Hoping your cramps are a sign of something else and not AF. Keep us posted.

@tetebeche

Welcome!

So your roughly around 3 days late for AF? I think you should definitely do a test. Sounds as though you could be, given your symptoms. Exciting!!

@BbyBx2 thanks for the welcome! Yes looking like 3 days late at this point and my cycles are pretty regular so 🤞 I'll try to pick up a test today. I just can't help but feel it's just a late period though - either instinct or my mind trying to protect me from disappointment I suppose!

How are you doing today?

@BbyBx2 not due till Friday/ Saturday.

@tetebeche welcome to the group. A late AF is the best sign but I know what you mean by the heavy feeling. I was late last month and convinced myself I was pregnant but AF. Arrived and showed her ugly face.

@tetebeche will keep everything crossed for you! If you manage to get a test today please let us know how you get on.
I know exactly what you mean, I keep trying to push everything to the back of my mind as I find if I don’t it takes over and it’s all I think about 🙈

I’m due to test on Sunday trying to keep busy until then.

🤞🏻Fingers crossed for you, best of luck

@sussexbysea thank you and thanks for setting this up, I feel much better to be going through this with others! Good luck this month ✨

Also, glad I didn't get to the shops for a test before now because guess what just showed up?! Yep, my period! A truly cosmic joke.

Onwards and upwards!

@hayho87 you definitely aren't out yet! I think it's really funny how we each react to symptoms. I have no symptoms and take that as a good sign as I usually get cramps before AF. Although actually I do have a bit of nausea since last night, and I've taken that as a bad sign as I've had nausea with pms before. And different for @Sussexbysea too.

I just pray the next few days go quickly!

@SewingAddict419 keeping us in suspense! You can do a test any time of day. Best try to wee-hold for 4hrs before. Was nervousness keeping you awake?
