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!

I have just looked back at my logs from my first two in 2014 and 2016. I tested negative with my first at cd 30 and finally got a positive cd38. My second I didn't test until cd36 and got a positive.

My symptoms are the same as what I am having now- bloating, severe cramps, constipation and nausea.

Hi everyone :)

Thought I would hop on here if that's OK...

I got AF yesterday, which was a surprise as means I had a 3 day luteal phase!! This is my second cycle off the pill and from what I understand this can be a normal side effect while your body is trying to regulate again, but I didn't expect it to be quite that short! Same thing happened last cycle too, but wasn't tracking ovulation then so can't be sure of the length, all I do know is that I ovulated around CD25 as I got painful nipples 4/5 days before AF came (same thing happened this cycle too).

I'm getting started on pregnacare and a vitamin b complex in hope it will help.

Is anyone else fairly fresh off the pill? How have you found it? xx

I also had a negative test at cd 30 with my first. I'm cd 30 today with faint positives x

@Sansa87 not to push you or get into your head, but I also had PMS style cramps (allbeit relatively mild) the week before, and then got
my BFP at 17dpo. I totally get your hesitation, I'm another that's scared of testing and wouldn't ever do it any earlier than 16dpo! But when you can muster the courage, go for it!

Another BFN this afternoon, going to sign out until AF arrives I think - good luck to those who are yet to test x

@Darcy86 I keep getting that small thought in my head, but then worry I’m gonna get my hopes up.

I did have what I call a period poop this morning after a week of constipation. So had a little sadness. I want to test in the morning, but I think it might get her first, or I’ll wimp out. I’m guessing I can’t do afternoon?

Pretty sure you can test in the afternoon, I think the recommendation is to hold it for a few hours if you can though. Generally the hcg is stronger in fmu - or so I hear - so it has a better chance of showing up, but I know others have tested and got bfps in the afternoon.

@darcy86 that’s good to know. I’ve gone for a walk but i can still feel the cramps which doesn’t bode well 😔

Well I'm officially out 😫 over and out to the July Pact thread!! Lots of luck everyone x

AF due Saturday 20th, i should be wiping brown tomorrow
Wiped what looked the same as my EWCM today and feel slightly nauseous every now and then and had a heavy crampy uterus yesterday and the day before at 6 and 7DPO

@Sansa87 hi popped back in to see how you ladies are getting on. I second @Darcy86. Good luck when you find the courage to test, I honestly feel you will be seeing a bfp from what you’re describing as you’ve described everything I have felt 🙈

@Sansa87 I am still feeling intermittent cramps now myself - from my short experience, PMS and early pregnancy have an awful lot of similarities!

One thing I used to do when gearing up for a test is think of just one plus side if the test came out negative, even though obviously the plus sides of a positive hugely outweighed it! It sounds silly but it helped calm me down a bit! I.e. my thought process would be - ok worst case if I'm not pregnant, at least OH and I can get pissed tonight. Somehow that logic was a comfort to me anyway...funny actually how it almost always revolved around alcohol

Good luck, please keep us updated!

This happened within 2 seconds. Just had a wee half hour before.

I’m not imagining it am I?

@sansa87 no it’s definitely there!!!! I just knew it! Biggest congratulations 🥳 so so exciting 🥰

@Sansa87 omg! I knew it! Massive huge congrats! How do you feel?!

Definite positive! Congratulations

Just In Tesco spending £20 on lots more to make sure.

I’m in shock. I’d gone and thrown the wee away, and was fully expecting a negative in a couple of minutes. I came back and walked to wards the table with oh just behind me but there was already that line.

Congratulations @Sansa87. Lovely news x

Thankyou!

Omg. I just.... OMG.

I just hope it’s a sticky one. I think this is going to be the most nerve racking 12 weeks of my life!

I absolutely did not expect this to happen first cycle, especially being 33.

I never use those tests but that is the clearer line I think I've ever seen on them! Congratulations @Sansa87 I also knew it. Hope everything goes well for you. What a great late birthday present!

What favu news @Sansa87 😁😁👶🏻👶🏻

Fabulous clearly stupid autocorrect

That's amazing news! Congrats @Sansa87 😁

So I stupidly decided to test tonight but I think i can see a faint line or am I imagining it?

@Sansa87 I'm chuffed for you! I'm also 33 and we've had our bfps on consecutive days (#twinz) 🤣 I'm also going to do another test in the morning to make sure its still there...

I agree this is gonna be a hard 12 weeks. I'm here in solidarity!!
