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 🙋🏼‍♀️☀️❤️

Hey ladies. Hope you're all ok?
I'm officially 1po and in the TWW.

It's going to be a long one!

Take care everyone. Xxx

Hi! New to MN but mind if I jump on this thread too? 😁

Getting used to all these acronyms so if anyone could help me out that’d be great 😂

I’m 28, came off the pill in January after nearly 11 years and we started trying last month. Cycle lengths have been everywhere (first two cycles were 39/38 days, last cycle was 28!) so unsure when I’m due a period.

We got excited last month when a week after ovulating (we’re using Clear Blue advanced digital sticks) I had some spotting - turned out to be an earlier than expected period. So fingers crossed this month! I got a flashing smiley yesterday and today so I should be ovulating very soon.

Sorry for the essay, good luck to you all! I’m hoping to stay following this thread to see how we all get on.

I'm 1/2 dpo and already struggling with symptom spotting even though I know it's not physically possible! It's going to a long tww

Sallyjo27 · 16/05/2020 21:34

Hi all, I had a MMC in February and now ttc our first. I’m currently 3 dpo don’t know how will stop myself testing early going to try and wait until the 23rd/24th. The TTW is feeling so long already x

motherofdinosau · 16/05/2020 22:17

Im 6/7dpo so half way there 😂 dreaming of a family holiday to florida sonits keeping my mind off 1)covid & 2)symptom spotting! Ill take a orlando bubble over this current sh*t storm anyday 😂😂...
Im feeling ok in myself... Boobs are bigger (always are after O), no acne which i usually get right after O, insane thirst (not like me!) & my right nipple is on fire 😂😂😂😂

Littlebee1990 · 17/05/2020 16:01

Hey Everyone!

I was thinking of creating a little list of us all when we’re due to test and we can hopefully have some successes together!

Feel free to add your username and date you’re testing and I’ll create a little list for us all to update or if you want copy and paste the below (or most updated after this post) and post back in date order

Littlebee1990 - 31st May

So lovely to have so many of us going through similar at the same time 💗❤️

Lilyduke · 17/05/2020 16:12

Sounds like a good idea! I don't normally test early as I've found that BFN worse than just getting AF. I'm due AF 28th/29th so would only test about the 31st.

RDC2020 · 17/05/2020 16:30

@Littlebee1990 Great idea - I'm testing on the 30th May 😊🤞🏼

Chlo2701 · 17/05/2020 16:38

Great idea @Littlebee1990 !!
I'm due around Sunday 24th May & reckon I should be about 12dpo by then.
If my Clearblue ovulation test was right I'm about 6dpo today.
Got my peak solid smiley on Monday 11th May in the morning.
I had a fair clump of creamy cm this morning when I went to the toilet. But nothing since really, & I've also had a few twinges & aches in my stomach today.
Could be either the start of implantation or just general AF symptoms. Who knows Shock

DoctorBambino · 17/05/2020 16:52

Great idea I'm also due 30th may Smile fingers crossed for us all

Sallyjo27 · 17/05/2020 17:03

I’m due to test 23rd/24th if I can wait that long 🙈
Thinking every twinge is it, I’m terrible for symptom spotting. Fingers crossed for 2021 babies!

mumoftwobeauts · 17/05/2020 18:03

@Littlebee1990 testing 22nd :)

Littlebee1990 · 17/05/2020 18:17

Hello, mind if I join? I'm TTC#1 and testing around 1st June. I'm doing a medicated cycle where I have to take HCG injections and the last one will be on the evening of 8 DPO, so my gynaecologist has told me that under no circumstances should I test before 1st June!

I might start testing on 9 DPO to watch the second line disappear and then see if it comes back again.

motherofdinosau · 17/05/2020 19:05

By femometer af is due 24/5!
I willnprob do an ic hpt 25/5 and see how that comes out before cracking out the frer 👌

MrsTwentyEight · 17/05/2020 19:14

Hi ladies
I can’t remember if I’ve posted here or not now! Life has been so crazy busy
TTC cycle 2 after a 3-month break
Not sure if we DTD on the right nights as I had 2 flashing OPK smileys and ran out of OPKs on the 3rd day...so DTD on 3rd and 4th day hoping LH surge / ovulation happened then!
First time TTC in Jan I was 9kg heavier and I blame my irregular cycle on that as even though I had a static smiley - my AF was delayed by 2 weeks ....hoping it’s normalised now after a modest weight loss
Anyway info overload - good luck everyone!! I’ll be testing 31/5 and no earlier as I spent waaaaay too much on tests on my last attempt!!

MrsTwentyEight · 17/05/2020 19:16

@Littlebee1990 I’m testing the same day as you! ❤️ My AF is due on that day so hopefully 🤞🏾

DarcyParty · 17/05/2020 20:30

AF due 31st so I'll be testing then

@Littlebee1990 @Lilyduke It's nice to see a few people on that date too :)

Not entirely confident this will be my month tbh, we only just decided to ttc and and barely made my fertile period 🤷‍♀️

Littlebee1990 · 17/05/2020 20:36

Loving this! So many of us all hoping for the same outcome ❤️

It’s my 30th birthday the day after AF is due so I’m testing the day she is due because if I get a BFN I’ll be drinking all the champagne possible 🤣 Would rather have a BFP though 🥰

OP posts:
DarcyParty · 17/05/2020 20:49

@Littlebee1990 happy birthday for then! Sounds like a good consolation prize ;)

My birthday is the 24th so I'll have to wait another week for my cocktails in the garden :( or hopefully 9 months! 🤞

Hope everyone had a nice weekend x

Hi everyone. Not been here for a while. So I'm about 7 days po now. So two week wait for me. And I'm soooooo hungry. Never normally like this. So hope it's a good thing. Haha xx

jazzibelle · 17/05/2020 23:15

@Littlebee1990love that idea! It gets so hard to keep up with the thread :)

For me, AF is due on 25th, so I’ll probably test with a FRER on 23rd

jaxs23 · 17/05/2020 23:29

@littlebee1990 I am following the SMEP for the first time this cycle.
