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

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?

@LS2020 that's the thing - this the month I've not bloody tracked 🙈🤣
I'm CD20 today - usually due AF around CD29/30 so waaay too early to tell...but I will say my CM was DrEaMy EWCM (like had the proper stretch to it and everything 😍🤣🤢) right from CD8 for daaaays, maybe even a week...and I was really wet all the time 😈🤣
I usually peak around CD16-17 but don't have a clue this month so could have been earlier I suppose...🤔
Eeeeek! I'd been doing sooo well at staying neutral can't believe I've caved for the TWW again hahahaaa 🤣

LS2020 · 10/04/2021 14:15

@mrswilso how’s the RHR? Mines come back down now so must have been stress or something!

mrswilso · 10/04/2021 17:37

@LS2020 I'm trying soooo hard not to get carried away...had to remind myself this morning that it's still faaar too early to test 🙈

LS2020 · 10/04/2021 18:32

Omg @mrswilso what a chart! Are you about 6dpo? Ahh so tough, I hope it keeps rising for you ❤️

mrswilso · 10/04/2021 18:40

I don't have a clue @LS2020 🤣 by my usual timings I should only be about 4/5dpo..
I looked back over my old charts and even my pregnancy in September didn't have this straight upward trend 🤔
I've got 2 FRER in the bathroom and I'm probably due on this time next week...how long do you think I'll hold out? 🤣

I'm actually bloody kicking myseeeeelf for not tracking LH this cycle! 😤 wish I knew for sure how many dpo 🤣

LS2020 · 11/04/2021 06:56

@mrswilso I really hope it’s a good sign for you but what a TWW you’ll have now! Maybe give yourself the goal of Wednesday and you’ll be about 9dpo which isn’t that unreasonable to test ☺️

mrswilso · 11/04/2021 10:11

@LS2020 it's stayed up on 71 again this morning...I'm gonna give it a few days 🙈
If it's still up I'll definitely end up testing on Wednesday at the latest haha!

LS2020 · 12/04/2021 10:39

@mrswilso hope it’s a good sign for you and stays up!
I’m about 5DPO and not a clue what’s going on. Normally rise after ovulation.. not drop

mrswilso · 12/04/2021 19:30

@LS2020 soooo hard to judge! Even more cos I don't know exactly how many dpo I am 😤
Dipped 2bpm today...but I suppose it could be an implantation dip...I have had a few lower back twinges yesterday and today (lower back pain was unreal the day I got my BFP - I actually reckon I had just implanted when I got it cos I was on the second day of a dip then)

Yours isn't looking too bad to be honest - I really don't think it's easy to tell until around 13/14dpo to be honest, that's when mine started going up properly last time...

LS2020 · 12/04/2021 20:26

@mrswilso I agree, I don’t think mine began rising til 11/12dpo and wasn’t noticeable until 13/14dpo. Mine was very dippy in TWW so youre probably right! I mostly just feel so far away that I’m not really worrying about it at the moment. Think I had a bit of boob twinge though so hoping it’s not a shorter cycle (as normally get a week to the day of AF starting).

Let’s watch it next couple of days, I wouldn’t test before weds/thu for you anyway so still lots of time!!

Sunbird24 · 13/04/2021 15:14

Think everything is almost finished today - TMI but bad hay fever (ie lots of sneezing!) has probably helped...

mrswilso · 13/04/2021 22:20

I LOLd a bit there @Sunbird24 🤣
Glad to hear you've still got your sense of humour ❤️

LS2020 · 14/04/2021 07:56

@Sunbird24 that gave me a little chuckle 😂 hope you’re doing the best you can be ❤️

@mrswilso how’s RHR? Mines jumped up two on 7dpo so will have to keep watching...

mrswilso · 14/04/2021 16:50

@LS2020 back up to 69 today...I haven't tested yet...

CaribouCarafe · 14/04/2021 17:26

@Sunbird24 you made me snort out my wine... it was worth it though Wink.

Today is my expected AF date, trying to hold off on a test although tempted to do so anyway.

(Not expecting a BFP hence the wine)

mrswilso · 14/04/2021 18:24

@CaribouCarafe ENJOY IT ❤️ even though I really hope she doesn't show and you have to test tomorrow haha 🤣
I'm actually just about to pour a vodka after a horrendous day in work - I've just pee'd already so that I can't test even if I want to 🤣

CaribouCarafe · 14/04/2021 18:28

@mrswilso chin chin! Gin

Sunbird24 · 14/04/2021 18:40

Enjoy your booze ladies! Someone had smashed a bottle of wine in the supermarket last night and I couldn’t go anywhere near that aisle because of the smell, so don’t think I’ll be drinking any time soon!
HPT is still positive so will try again in a couple of days to see if that’s changed. Once it’s negative I guess I start on the OPKs again...

mrswilso · 14/04/2021 18:56

@Sunbird24 waiting for the negative drove me insane - I didn't get mine negative until after my first natural bleed post-management had finished so I know it's fucking haaard but try not to let it get you down ❤️

LS2020 · 14/04/2021 20:02

@mrswilso when are you thinking? Hope your day at work is a little better tomorrow!

@CaribouCarafe I’m so jealous of the wine. We went to pizza express tonight after doing a bit of shopping and was fully planning a big glass there but I came over so nauseous and faint before we went in I stuck to water and now I’m home and feeling better all I want is a glass and none in! Hope the witch stays away for you

@Sunbird24 one of the only times I’ve wished for a negative but hope it comes soon for you 🤞🏻 Do you think you’ll do another FET/IVF cycle or try naturally (is that the right word I swear after 2 years for me, it doesn’t feel natural anymore!) for a bit?

mrswilso · 14/04/2021 20:15

@LS2020 I'm gonna try my hardest not to test until after the weekend...HAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAA 🤣
Honestly though, I probably won't unless my RHR starts trolling me, I actually think I'd burst the bin with the force behind a negative test being flung at it 🤣

Sunbird24 · 14/04/2021 21:35

@LS2020 I’m doing this solo - not had sex in over 3 years! 🤭🤣

LS2020 · 15/04/2021 06:58

@mrswilso you’re so strong! Mines back down again today and I’m still tempted to test as have v strong symptoms for 8dpo, tho making me think AF is going to come early. I’m actually getting to the point where a BFN will give me the life kick I need to stop being so obsessive!

@Sunbird24 ah yes you mentioned! Does it all get done at a clinic?

mrswilso · 15/04/2021 07:04

@LS2020 ...😳
And I just woken up feeling so nauseous...
CD27, due on CD29/30...

mrswilso · 15/04/2021 08:26

I've phoned in and taken today off - tmi but I've got pretty bad 💩 and I don't think that's a good sign is it?
OMGGGGG why do I torture myself like this!?
Crampy too and had one tiny swipe of pink CM...it's too early for AF but only by a couple of days...I've NEVER had her come early before though...
