Sorry about the bfn @MrsEmilyB. It sucks. I’m now 14dpo and no AF as of yet. Felt it’s been coming for days. Just want it to start now so I can move onto the next cycle

MrsRSS · 21/05/2020 06:54

Ps. Congrats to all the BFPs 🙌🏻

GMay1991 · 21/05/2020 06:55

Tested again this morning on a CB!

Congrats @GMay1991. Super exciting

Hopefulmummie · 21/05/2020 07:27

Congratulations to all the bfp

AF is due on Sunday I've been having cramps and backaches from yesterday which I don't normally get. Temp is remaining elevated I've attached my chart

That sounds promising @Hopefulmummie. That was the first sign for me the rise in temp. I had no symptoms at all but my BBT just kept rising.

Sausage1990 · 21/05/2020 07:39

So nice to see the BFPs after a few days away... @Mrsi2020 congratulations!!! Lovely news.

@MrsEmilyB sorry to hear of your BFN and that af seems to be on her way ☹️ it's so hard isn't it. Sending hugs.

So I'm 3dpo (again) today... I've had some cramps but nothing else and I now know that I can cramps all the time and it means nothing lol. I had to take a few days off MN just because I was frustrated I wasn't at the end if my TWW but at the beginning and tbh I'd got my hopes up so just needed to process all those feelings. Feeling mrke settled now and just going to go with the flow. We DTD twice around this new fertile window which is annoying because we had been doing smep method. But hey... It only takes 1 time so it could still happen 🤞🏻

How everyone doing? Hope you're enjoying this lovely weather we're having in the UK 🌞

@GMay1991 congratulations!

My temp didn't stay this high in previous cycles so hoping this is a sign but afraid of being too hopeful.

How many days of rising temperatures did you have?

TheLastStark · 21/05/2020 07:50

Guys... I've just had a very faint BFP!!!!

GMay1991 · 21/05/2020 07:54

@Hopefulmummie I have attached my chart. I think 10DPO might have been an implantation dip and then my temp has continued to rise since then. Today is 14DPO. I know what you mean about being too hopeful. Got my fingers crossed for you! X

@GMay1991 @TheLastStark congratulations ladies 🥳

GMay1991 · 21/05/2020 07:56

Congratulations @TheLastStark. 🥳

Skyla01 · 21/05/2020 07:57

@GMay1991 congrats and @TheLastStark too!!

@Hopefulmummie that looks really promising. Are you going to wait until AF is late to test?

@MrsEmilyB sorry, good luck in July!

@Sausage1990 having to endure another 2ww is rubbish. FC for you this time!

Hopefulmummie · 21/05/2020 07:57

@gmay1991 thanks for this. What day did you test on? I was tempted to test this morning but think I'll hold off one more day

Newbie0818 · 21/05/2020 08:06

Congrats to the bfp’s 🎉✨

@MrsEmilyB sorry about bfn :( my cervix goes high and hard before af starts, it’s interesting to hear someone else’s does too as it’s supposed to be low. Chin up and onwards xx

@Sausage1990 I know how frustrating another tww can be, it’s good you took some time to process it. Fx you catch it xx

GMay1991 · 21/05/2020 08:11

@Hopefulmummie I tested at 8 & 10 DPO and got BFNs. I couldn’t bear to see the snowy white test again so promised myself to wait until 13 DPO where I got a very faint line on IC. Looking at your chart you are only 11 DPO so if you do test today just remember it’s still very early and best to test in a couple of days time.

RobinRose · 21/05/2020 08:29

@MrsEmilyB so sorry lovely ☹️ Hope you are okay! Remember your not out till af arrives, still 🤞 for you!

@GMay1991 & @TheLastStark congratulations ladies! 🥳

So, my ibs has been playing up for 4 days now, every morning has been the same (I won’t go into detail!) and my stomach is stupidly bloated. My flare ups last one day/night so this is very unusually for me 🤔

Hope everyone is getting on ok!

MoonW · 21/05/2020 08:31

Congratulations to the BFPs this morning 🥳

@MrsEmilyB I’m so sorry that you feel AF is on the way and BFN Sad

@Sausage1990 completely understand, I took a few days break a few weeks ago, sometimes it’s good to give yourself some time. Fingers crossed for you 🤞

Hopefulmummie · 21/05/2020 08:35

@Mrsi2020 yeah I'll maybe hold off to Saturday.

I've also had a stuffy nose the last few days not sure if this is a symptom

Newbie0818 · 21/05/2020 08:50

This gave me a little giggle this morning:

@Newbie0818 That is brilliant! Exactly how I feel sometimes on MN with all the conflicting theories - but all worth a try even if just for the fun element 😂

Sorry to hear about your BFN @MrsEmilyB. I’ve been lurking around since AF got me earlier this month, and like you we’re also planning on skipping June and maybe July due to a wedding and other commitments. Silly question, but how are you planning to avoid pregnancy this month? I was on the implant for 3 years and we started trying since I took it out on March. I know condoms are an option but we haven’t had any in the house for what feels like centuries! I was thinking of just trying to skip my most fertile days, but I’m worried about karma pulling a trick on us. 🙄😂

MrsEmilyB · 21/05/2020 11:14

@TheLastStark - congrats!! ❤️❤️

@Hopefulmummie that's a really hopeful chart!!

@newbie0818 cervixes are weird aren't they?! I've only started paying attention this month. Although now I've had a poop (sorry, WAY TMI) it's gone quite soft again?! And my spotting has stopped, just like the previous 4 days. Still counting myself out as my BBT is pretty much at cover line now.

@RobinRose sorry about your bum tum making you feel crappy, but hopefully it's a sign?!

@unluckyducky - thank you ❤️ hope this cycle is a sticky bean for you xx

@WildButterfly - hi! We'll go back to preventing using Natural Cycles / BBT monitoring and not have sex on fertile days (or at least withdrawal). It seems to be so difficult to get pregnant that I think we'll be okay 😂😅🙄 we've been preventing like that since I came off the pill in September so are quite practiced at it now! We'll try again in July and accept I'd likely be very heavily pregnant with about 3 weeks to go, if I caught! Bloody weddings ruining our baby plans eh?! 😒😒😒

Newbie0818 · 21/05/2020 11:35

@Ltay2 it’s so funny! I’m even tempted to try adrianoska’s bird poo theory! I wander how she’s getting on?

@mrsemilyb I get that too! And mine often starts very high in the morning, and lower in the evening, but high and hard during af. When I got the positive opk I could barely reach it so that’s good I suppose?! You’re still not out, but I know that feeling of deflation. I still have my fingers crossed 🤞🏼✨
