AF arrived today - Testing end of May / early June buddies

[Littlebee1990]

Thought I’d make a thread for anyone who may be having a visit from AF currently and be testing similar time to me.

I’m 29, boyfriend is 27
TTC baby number 1, cycle 2 (ish.. we half tried last month but didn’t track anything!)
Trying SMEP this month
AF came today and is due 30th May

If everyone is on a similar date and wants to support each other then feel free to jump on 🙋🏼‍♀️☀️❤️

@mumoftwobeauts congratulations my love! You must be over the moon!! I really hope we get to see a lot of BFP's on that list.
I'm not holding out much hope for me as feel pretty normal & woke up with an extra friend of my face today 🙈 & I tend to get one before AF arrives xx

Congratulations @mumoftwobeauts !!

I think you're right @Amy00 in saying I may have a sustained LH surge this month. Like I said, it doesn't really matter as we are DTD every day at the moment anyway to make the most of the fertile window. Just keen to know when I ovulate! Good job on even attempting doing temps - it seems way too involved for me. Any reason to think you haven't ovulated other than no temp rise? Any underlying medical conditions or do you have irregular cycles normally?

I feel dreadful today, headache and soooo hot, keep getting flushes and the last few nights I’ve slept terrible. I know of course they can’t be early pregnancy signs as I’m only 6DPO.. obviously googling it all though!

@mumoftwobeauts Congratulations!!! 🎉👶🏼

@RiverRoo I've just come off the pill at end of April so my body might not be quite settled back into a normal rhythm yet - I thought getting the LH surge meant it was all back to normal but google tells me you can get surges but not have actual ovulation!

There's still time though as apparently (per Dr Google) you can ovulate 4-36 hours after the peak, and then it takes about 12 hours for a temp rise to appear. So if I got the peak around 3pm on the 20th, 36 hours after that is 3am this morning, then another 12 hours after that means I should def see a rise in temp tomorrow if ov happened.

I know I'm obsessing over the detail here!!!! 🙈 just want to confirm that first ovulation!!

Congratulations @mumoftwobeauts! Lovely news for you.

You have raised my hopes a little. I had very light spotting for a few days at 6DPO but was just starting to lose hope because I feel pretty normal this morning. Even bought sanitary pads. 🤞

@Amy00 I only came off the pill mid April, had a surge 2 weeks later, then a surge another two weeks after that. Then got my bfp this morning! No period x

@Littlebee1990 I felt the same last night, I came over feeling really weird and sick. Unlikely to be symptoms but I did google 5dpo symptoms last night 🙈

@mumoftwobeauts ahh so there's totally hope then! My fear is the TWW will be a million times worse if I'm not sure if I'm actually in it or not 😂
I guess I'll keep testing and keep DTD!

Congrats @mumoftwobeauts !! You have started the list off beautifully - good luck with everything!

I caved and tested today at 12dpo...bfn 😭
Dont know why i did it... Couldnt help myself lol!
I have no usual af symptoms... No spots, boobs not overly sore and no mood swings. Normally at this point im like cruella deville 😂😂
Congratualtions @mumoftwobeauts super pleased for you!!!!

@Littlebee1990 sorry that you feel rubbish (but you never know - maybe it's a good sign...) My 'symptoms' have disappeared today. Just a bit tired but I'm sure that's the heat disturbing my sleep.

Hey ladies.
Hope everyone is ok? I'm 7/8dpo. And feeling the af cramps (due on in a week) the only thing different this month is tender breasts. (I haven't had sore boobs for AF since before my mc last Oct)

I took a test this morning (I'll attach pics) i see a vague line. But it's hard to get on camera.

Oh and one of my closest friends has told me she's expecting. I am thrilled for her. And know her being pregnant isn't the reason I'm not....but Its the 2nd announcement in a month. So hit me a little. 😔

Sorry for the lengthy post! Good luck everyone ❤️

Hi ladies, I haven't commented in a while but so glad to see there are so many people on this thread! I think (according to OPKs) I ovulated on the 20th so I'm 2 DPO. Trying not to spend too much time researching everything ttc as it can drive me nuts but it's so difficult! Due AF on the 3rd June so going to wait until its late before testing.
@Littlebee1990 could I be added to the list please?
Baby dust to you all! Xx

@AEM33 sorry, I don't see a second line 😔 But don't worry, 7/8DPO is still early and there's lots of time for HCG to build up in your system yet. Try again in around 3-days. Unless I'm the only one who doesn't see the line, in which case, congrats! 😂

Meant to be testing tomorrow... I caved and tested (again) today in case I got a BFP early. I did not.

I'm confused because TMI COMING UP I swear I've had symptoms, but don't feel pg.

Here are my symptom spots:

-- My nipples are killing me, but more like itchy like they've been chaffing (they haven't). I've had to put something between them and my bra, it's unbearable. They also look massive and darker, but that could just be because they've clearly been irritated by something.

-- I felt light-headed and dizzy a couple of times, yesterday I had to catch myself and sit down before I fainted (I didn't)

-- Mild cramps in lower belly since ovulation

-- Yesterday had shooting/stabbing pains on the right side of my belly, they didn't last long but they were enough to notice and think "WTF"

-- very windy 🚶‍♀️💨

Now these could be down to anything but I never get any of these prior to AF. I also think I could have ovulated 2 days after my OPK indicated, which means we're less likely to have had swimmers waiting for the egg.

If I did ovulate late, that only puts me at 9/10DPO rather than 11/12DPO.

Anyway, that's my long-winded way of saying "I have one FRER left, AF is due Monday, I might test on Sunday instead" 🤯

Ahhhh can you ladies help pleaseeee! So I order some proov pdg test that turned up today just to check I did ovulate 🤣 anyhow I did! I had one frer test left and did it stupidly didn't see a line straight away (I know I should of waited) threw it in the bin just work up from a moody nap had one last peep and this was the result IC are negative.

I'm NOT taking this as my bfp but wondered what you ladies thought im only 7/8 DPO going by peak x

@Fluffkins14 that is definitely a positive!

@AEM33 I can see a hint of something. Mine was like that yesterday. Much stronger this morning x

Thanks so much for the congrats everyone. Good luck to all of you, I'm keeping my fingers crossed tight x x x

Thanks for the replies ladies. I'm going to do my level best to not test now til Sunday at the earliest (Monday if I can!)

@mumoftwobeauts congrats on your BFP lovely. I hope you have a very happy and healthy pregnancy 🥰 xxx

@Fluffkins14 I had this on our first attempt at TTC...
FRER tells you not to read results after a 15 minute window I think...they end up turning positive but it doesn’t count. I truly hope yours is actually positive though :) Fingers crossed 🤞🏾

@jazzibelle - not out until AF shows, everything crossed for you and do keep us posted

@Fluffkins14 I had this last month, did the FRER and then had a delivery and then jumped on a work call and before I knew it an hour had passed .. it looked the same as yours so I did another the next day and no line within the time 🙁 Really hope for you’re sake I’m wrong xx

@Littlebee1990 thank you for your reply, I'm not getting my Hope's up as I'm worried it's possible dye run? I have more test arriving tomorrow so only time will tell x

@mumoftwobeauts congrats on the BFP! So happy for you!
