Anyone due AF on or around 15th of June

[Rotagilla]

Hello, looking for ladies with a similar cycle to mine, to discuss symptoms and get through the dreaded tww!

Feel like I am out this month, heavy feeling in my stomach and pains in back. Disheartening but there is always next month

Oh said my boobs look great and my nipples look darker. Whilst boobs do look a bit fuller, the nip nips look the same to me 😂 I think he’s now looking for symptoms too! Can’t be good when both of us are trying to grasp at straws

My backache has been so intense I've ended up taking paracetamol and ibuprofen. I'm pretty sure I'm out, just hope it's not as painful tomorrow.

@kirinm HUGE hugs!

Tested again tonight and could maybe only see the tiniest squinter... Wouldn't even show on a photo I don't think. I know it's evening and I'm only 11dpo but I still feel really disheartened, maybe earlier was just a false positive?

@PabsyPops Femometer! Got it from Amazon so it was affordable and fast. I'm ready for OPKs next month, if AF arrives! Going to step things up a notch.

@whambam89 It's so late at night, don't feel disheartened. Maybe try Saturday morning if you can wait?

I think I'm going to try and wait for 17/18th too! Unless I get some crazy symptoms just before.

@AlisonLew15 Tge TWW can feel so emotionally draining. We're here for you though and this month could be the one!

Honestly, I'm already starting to daydream about everything I'll need! Pays to be prepared I guess.

@kirinm That sounds so painful, I hope you sleep okay and feel better tomorrow.

@Sansa87 Love that your OH is so involved in symptom spotting! You never know.

Morning Ladies. I’m sad to say that I’m out for this month. Awful backache last night and AF has arrived this morning. 😢

Fingers crossed for everyone that you get your BFPs this month. x

I think I'm also out this month. I couldn't hold off any longer so tested this morning. I'm 11dpo and it was BFN.

It is possible I have tested too soon? Used a CB 6 day early and I'm due on the 15th. I may be clutching at straws!

I did a test at 10dpo and got a bfn yesterday. I know it's early but I feel like I'm out, wish I hadn't tested! You never know though I guess

Morning! Backache has calmed down (so far) thankfully. BFN of course. I will be glad to get this cycle out of the way but still not due until Monday. How's everyone else?

@whambam89 have you tested again?

Sorry for your BFN girls. Remember you’re not out until af comes though.

I thought I’d be desperate to test, I was when I was ttc ten years ago, but this time I just don’t want to do it. Definitely have some form of ptsd from all the BFNs last time.

@sansa87 - I know how you feel I used to test get a BFN and then the next day my AF would arrive and i got it in my head at one point that testing was causing it! I know crazy.

Anyone else just feel like they are out and want their af to arrive? I have had period cramps on and off since yesterday and its not due until tue but its getting my down now, just want to start a new cycle and try again

BFN for me at 11dpo this morning too 😔

As I'm 37 in October and this is our 8th month TTC I think I might start the ball rolling for some medical assistance for next month. I spoke to my gp 2 months ago and they said that because I have a child already the NHS wouldn't assist at all (not even basic tests or medication) so it looks like it is going to be an expensive private journey 😩

Morning team!

@FoxtrotOscarPoppet Oh I'm sorry. Hopefully this cycle is the one for you! Thanks for your luck.

@presidentgerbil From what I've read you're still in with a chance! Monday isn't here yet, there's still time for that BFP.

@Lovebug06 You never know, exactly! It's so hard to resist testing. Still plenty of time left.

@kirinm Glad you're feeling better. 😊 You can't be certain until Monday, I'm still staying hopeful for you!

@LittleTooMuch Second day of light cramping for me, so I relate to this. Just want to fast forward a few days!

@SS123456 It's still not over yet! Sorry to hear you don't get any NHS support, I didn't know this. It seems so unfair!

I think I’m out, but I occasionally get that little voice in my head saying “well maybe”

The af like cramps I’ve been getting the last week have settled, I’ve got creamy lotion like cm, (but I do think I’ve got that every month) and my cervix feels higher this morning, but I have no idea what she gets up to each month anyway.

I’ve got a slight pain under the front of my bra, It feels too low to be heart burn though.

I did have some nausea yesterday, but I’d been on the phone to oh talking about a house we are viewing tonight (yeah, as well as getting engaged, ttc, we are apparently putting his flat on the market and buying a house together - June could be an exciting month 😂)

Oh, & I’m also quite constipated. Haven’t pooped in 2 days!

@LeopardLover thanks, I feel so much better today. I really wasn't well last night and even 2 paracetamol and 2 ibuprofen didn't get rid of it completely.

I looked back at symptoms from other months and it seems that at 10dpo I do often get backache although not as intense as yesterday. At least if AF arrives I will know in future that backache at 10dpo means I'm out so my TWW is reduced to 10 days.

Meeee! Joining you ladies. AF due anytime btw 15-19/6 🤦‍♀️ I had a MC last month so this cycle has been all over the place. I believed I o late this month based on natural cycles &bbt but Flo put my o to be normal and gives me a later period date 🤦‍♀️ Anyhow 8dpo today.

@whambam89 this happened to me. Got a positive at around 9/10DPO and every time I've tested since has been bfn! It's not over yet though! Hopefully just the hormones taking their time to get to a testable level! I ran out of FRERs and really shouldn't buy any more as I've already spent too much! So I'm just using the cheap strips now. I'm around 11/12dpo today I think and AF is due between Sunday and Tuesday. I don't feel like AF is arriving. I have endometriosis and am usually in a lot of pain leading up to AF. So far I've just had a sort of dull aching, but it's nothing compared to how I usually feel. Last night before I went to bed I had a really weird feeling for a few seconds a bit below my belly button, just like someone had flicked or poked me from the inside!? Strange!

Hope everyone is doing ok despite the bfns! Hopefully these change to bfps in the coming days! Sorry to those who's AF showed up 💜

@mm26 it's so frustrating! I of course took another FRER this morning and it's negative. I'm so convinced I'm pregnant though, my boobs and nipples have never hurt so much. But a FRER should surely be showing positive by now? I'm the same as you 11/12 dpo not 100% sure when I ovulated

@whambam89 I have never seen a positive on the internet strips that was false. If you can you might just need to wait and see but I think you have reason to be optimistic.

@whambam89 I think that's my issue. I don't 100% know when I ovulated don't I can't be sure.** Hopefully the bfp will show up in a few days! When do you think you'll test again?
So, I've looked back at last months symptoms vs this month. I got really fatigued around predicted O last month (start of the month) and I also had bad fatigue at the same time this month. Last month I had some cramping on my 2nd day I was fatigued which could have been O I guess?
This month, my app had me O earlier than the fatigue started, but when I look at symptoms, on 2nd day I was fatigued I had cramping again- meaning my ovulation was 3 days later. Meaning that I could technically only be about 8 DPO. It's a lot of ifs and buts, but I think that's all I can think as unfortunately google can't tell me if I'm pregnant or not 😂 the only reason this all sticks out so much is because when I had those cramps this month they were so painful for maybe about an hour? They woke me up they were so sore!
TL;DR I'm convincing myself I ovulated later than my app said because I'm still holding out hope for this month! 🤞🏻

Sorry, I don't know why all of that came up bold!! 🙈

@kirinm thank you, I really hope so. I'm worrying now that it could be another ectopic though - I was so convinced then that I was pregnant that I tested even after my "period" and ended up getting a positive 7 days after - but the delay in the positive was obviously a sign of an ectopic because my HCG levels were a lot lower than they should have been

That positive is definitely still there from yesterday though and it's definitely pink. Just strange that I'm now getting negatives

@mm26 I'm going to attempt to wait until Monday I think.. translated as I'll probably test every day until AF shows haha

Morning everyone,

This TTW time is so hard isn't it. I am getting similar AF pains not due till Tuesday but looks similar to last cycle. It is not over till AF comes though. I think I am about 8/9 DPO but my cycles are short (25/26 days)

@FoxtrotOscarPoppet Sorry to hear AF arrived. Really hope next cycle is the one.

Sorry for the BFNs. 10/11DPO is still so early though especially as HCG takes a while to show up.

@Sansa87 Lots to keep your mind busy at the moment. It is hard isn't it as we don't want to get our hopes up and then our body gives us a small reason to be hopeful. So exciting buying your first house together.

My FRERs arrived in the post yesterday and I have hidden them to try and stop me testing!
