Just want AF to arrive so new cycle can begin...

[CaribouCarafe]

AF due in 3 days.

Am sure I'm out this month - negative FRER today and I have the usual PMS acne.

Just want my period to come already so that I can get this useless cycle over with and have a commiseration beer.

Just frustrating as have been taking pre-conception vitamins for months, cut out caffeine, no alcohol during TWW, have DTD every other day, tracked ovulation and with no success.

Anyone else fancy a moan whilst waiting for AF to show up?

I definitely see something @cariboucarafe

Have you got any more tests? Try again tomorrow morning for a stronger line?

@CaribouCarafe me too!!!!

I have 2 more tests - a cassette and a digital. Don't want to waste the digital but will do the cassette tomorrow morning, so long as Mumsnet Jury decides the one I posted pictures of is not a figment of my imagination!

It's definitely not a figment! Or I'm tripping too 😂

Let us know - sending lots of babydust! ✨

Am trying not to hope too much, but can't help feeling a little hopeful.

Will let you lovely ladies know what my test looks like tomorrow morning. Thank you all for your support nonetheless.

If anyone else is testing early please feel free to share your results on this thread too.

I can see something too! 🤞🏼

@CaribouCarafe I can definitely see something - fingers crossed for you in the morning!

AF hasn't appeared yet but is due today.

Digital test says NOPE!

@cariboucarafe it might still be a bit early for a digital as I think they have a higher detection requirement?
AF arrived this morning a day early for me so a good sign if it’s still not there!

Ah @LS2020 at least it's the start of a new cycle for you and you know where you're at.

@cariboucarafe there was deffo a line on the strip test! Don't you just hate those digital CB tests when the stupid egg timer is flashing!! Maybe test again in a few days.

Still no AF today, haven't tested since Monday but I'm not prepared to waste another test. You know when you just know that you're not? That's how I feel, so just waiting for AF to show and hoping it's not a missed period completely cos god knows how that would affect my cycle.

@LS2020 sorry to hear about AF - hopefully this cycle will be your lucky cycle!

@dogmam the cassette test I did this morning had a slight line, but it wasn't as dark as the one I did last night. AF still hasn't come though, despite me having cramps for over 2 days now.

I know what you mean about not wanting to waste another test - I told myself this morning I wouldn't waste the digital but did it anyway . Could be worse - I could've just got the 'book' symbol instead!

Just for fun here is my cassette test from this morning.

Please excuse the fluff everywhere - husband trimmed his beard
(not envy)

@CaribouCarafe I can still totally see that line!

I finish work at 6pm and I've decided I'm just gonna go for it and use a FRER 🤞🏻 I'm 10/11dpo today and I've been holding my pee all day haha! I'm gonna burst!

Aaaach @ls2020 sorry to hear AF showed 🙁 Babydust for next cycle ✨

@cariboucarafe so you did two tests this morning? There's deffinetly a line on that pic!! How many days overdue are you? So exciting!

@dogmam yes two tests using the same urine sample . Thought I could see a shadow of a line in the cassette test so did the digital after.

AF was due today but haven't even got a hint of spotting yet.

@mrswilso I have all my fingers and toes crossed for you!

@mrswilso eee let us know!!

Gaaaah so annoyed! Ended up peeing about 5.30pm in work...or i was gonna wet the floor 😂

I'll probably hold off til tomorrows FMU now grrr!!

Ah @mrswilso using FMU definitely preferable to peeing at work.

Fingers crossed the extra time means a stronger line

AF arrived just as suspected. Had fun with the tests anyhow.

New cycle here I come!

Aaaaw @CaribouCarafe I'm so sorry to hear it! I was so sure I could see lines. Hope you're okay, sending hugs and babydust for next cycle ✨

I'm starting to think I'm gonna be out this month too, just a feeling, haven't got any symptoms really other than a slight change in my RHR pattern for this time of the month. I'll post my result tomorrow morning either way - it's been really nice sharing the journey with you girls this cycle 🥰💕

@cariboucarafe ahh mann, sorry to hear that! AF has also finally just started here to, 10 days late!! Let's hope this cycle is the lucky one for us.

@mrswilso haha you've got to do what you've got to do! Good luck for tomorrow mornings testing!

@CaribouCarafe I'm sorry to hear that. Sending positive thoughts that next month is your month x

Thanks everyone - I was 90% expecting it, plus the last test was such a squinter that it doesn't feel too bad .

Am feeling optimistic about next month.

@mrswilso it's been nice sharing with you too! Please do update us!

If anyone wants to stick around for the entirety of the next cycle then that would be lovely, especially since some of us seem to have similar start dates .

@dogmam sorry to hear that you're out this month, but at least you're out of limbo now. Fingers crossed for June!!
