Hello and welcome!

I kinda wanted to make my own thread as I've been itching to POAS at only 7dpo 😒 I know I know... ridiculous right?

So need you lovely ladies to join in and keep each other distracted, share your experience, have a giggle/cry together and most importantly have each others support during BFNs and BFPs.

Please feel free to jot down your cycle/dpo info and when your AF is due so we can all keep a track of where we are!

This is also a thread where you are free to post any thoughts, poems, pictures, recipes, dreams and aspirations, the good the bad and the ugly 😝

As always stay safe and baby dust to you all!

I'd be grateful for thoughts, I'm confused and at a loss. My usual cycle is 26 days and has been last 3 months, but last month my cycle was 31 days and this month I'm currently on day 32 of my cycle. Based on my 26 day cycle AF was due 14 June. Negative frer. Based on a 31 day cycle AF was due yesterday. Took another frer this morning in case I got my fertile window wrong and ovulated late and still negative. I'm at a loss. My body / cycle has just gone out of sorts these last two months and I don't know why? Has anyone had this with differing cycle lengths?

Mich2020 · 19/06/2020 11:59

@wenders4 I'm kind of in the same boat. Cycles usually are 29 days. Over the last few months they've varied so much it's weird. Today is cycle day 31 now that's definitely late and I have also had a bfn test. The only thing I have done differently this month is take agnus cactus from cd1 to ovulation day. I have sore boobs and lower cramps and pressure assuming my period is coming but this has now been for the last 3-4 days. Even dtd last night and this morning hoping that if af was coming it'll help bring it along. Nothing at all xx

wenders4 · 19/06/2020 12:07

@Mich2020 I know this doesn't help you (or us) but it's strangely reassuring knowing I'm not alone with this. It's so exhausting. I keep getting my hopes up and then squashed. I can't say I've changed anything apart from been more stressed with work, lockdown, childcare etc. But stress has never effected my periods before. Last month I thought it was just an odd one off longer cycle.

CaramelTart23 · 19/06/2020 12:39

Hey Ladies... I've woken up with dark brown cm I think I'm out 😞 I really thought I was in for a chance this cycle. I guess it was not meant to be!

How are you ladies holding up today? X

wenders4 · 19/06/2020 13:01

Sorry @CaramelTart23 I was following you from earlier in the thread and had my fingers crossed for you.
I'm still in no mans land (it feels like anyway) no AF and still negative test Hmm

hannah88j · 19/06/2020 13:05

Bad day for me today. I think yesterday's test must've been a false positive because I took another FRER this morning and it was completely negative. I'm still only 8dpo so I'm holding out hope that it's not completely over for me this month. I just can't get over the line yesterday it was so pink and obviously there and today nothing!! Not even a squinter 😢💔 oh well... back to counting down the days. No more early testing for me I'll be waiting for AF to show her ugly face. xx

Mich2020 · 19/06/2020 13:11

I did this opk just about 15 mins ago. And the second line is quite dark.. I know people have a surge before af but I needed to pee on something else 🙈 still no sign of AF yet. Just want to know so I can't either begin a new cycle or obviously would love to have my bfp.xx

bluebubbles12 · 19/06/2020 13:43

@hannah88j oh no, I'm so sorry you're being messed around! Your head must be all over the place. I wonder what could have caused that line yesterday? Did you test at the same time, both FMU?

@CaramelTart23 sorry if this is AF for you 😔 wishing you all the luck for next month, and thanks so much for setting this thread up. I've found it really valuable.

hannah88j · 19/06/2020 13:54

@bluebubbles12 Yep both with FMU. I honestly was not expecting to see a stark white negative test this morning 💔 gutted. I've since seen/read a few threads where people have had false positives recently with FRER's so I'm not buying them anymore. It's not worth the heartache. It's either that or a seriously early chemical, but I'll wait to see if AF arrives. I did think that 7dpo was ridiculously early to get a positive pregnancy test, so I'm hoping it was a false positive rather than a chemical. I'm due on 23rd June so should know more by then... see if AF shows! So gutted today though. It's so shit that you can go from being over the moon to devastated in 24 hours 😢 xx

GreysLove · 19/06/2020 14:19

@CaramelTart23 Sorry if this turns out not to be your month, it's so shit eh?

@hannah88j Sorry to you too, to feel so good then be let down it's such a rollercoaster.

I'm out this month AF turned up a day early - cheeky witch! I'm really disappointed and really pissed off at my body for giving me so many signs that are totally not normal for my cycle. I'm thinking that my body must still be adjusting post pill, and that my FRER must have been an evap line. I have given my OH all my tests and told him not to let me use them until I'm at least a day late. So i'll be moving to the July pact thread but not for another few weeks as it was becoming all consuming to be on here even just reading. While it's fabulous to have a group of like minded ladies going through the same thing I have been all over the place, not concentrating on work, exercise and healthy eating has slipped. All those things have made this BFN all the harder to take. So I have given myself an hour or so to feel shitty, then dusting myself off and have a BIG glass of wine tonight.

I'm so happy to all of you with BFP's and huge virtual hugs for all of you who's it's not your month, we will have our lines and babies one day :)

Thanks for being such a great group xxx

MummaShu · 19/06/2020 15:34

Not my month either. BFN on a FRER (lovely faint grey evap line though Angry), AF due tomorrow. At least I get to celebrate my birthday with a cider though! I guess the cramps I've had the last four days are just my stomach hating me!

Best of luck to those left, and those with the BFNs... see you next month xx

BronzeSilverGold13 · 19/06/2020 15:47

@CaramelTart23 I'm sorry this month might not be your month. I reckon I'm probably out as I did 2 clear blues and got what I see as very faint lines (others aren't sure) but nothing on a IC. No AF yet though so I'm waiting to see what's happening! Hope you're okay lovely? Xx

KatieFH · 19/06/2020 15:56

I’m a bit late to the party ladies but I did a test today and my eyes could be tricking me into seeing what I want to see but I thought I saw a mega faint line. Will test again over next couple days and hope I can see one clearer!
Wishing everyone luck with theirs!! X

It's torture these tests showing faint lines then nothing days later. So sorry to those who have had some false hope with those 💕 it really makes me want to wait to test after AF. It's so hard to wait though

2020mission · 19/06/2020 18:51

@CaramelTart23 did you do ovulation tests this month? I've got some ready for next cycle so I can check if I'm actually ovulating and if so when it's happening because I feel something is off with the app estimations. I keep failing to conceive despite plenty of DTD for 2 weeks following AF finishing.

Hopingtobelucky · 19/06/2020 19:11

@KatieFH I can see a very faint line on yours.
I did a first response today and think I can see a very very faint line but can't pick it up on a photo, maybe wishful thinking. Used my last FRER so going to nip out soon and buy some more for the morning x

@2020mission That's how I feel, I had two faint positives at two different times and then nothing now :( it honestly makes me want to stop trying all together, I can deal with the rejection each month. Due AF on Sunday but confident it won't be my month.

I am lucky to have a beautiful little boy already but I can't face getting my hopes up to get let down.

Just feeling gloomy today 😢

xx11xx · 19/06/2020 19:26

Also my three best friends and a family member are all pregnant, I'm happy for them but it's hard to not feel envious 😭

BronzeSilverGold13 · 19/06/2020 21:03

@xx11xx I'm the same as you multiple family members are pregnant and I've done 2 tests and had very faint lines and nothing now but AF hasn't arrived yet! If I'm not I don't know if I can keep doing this every month!

xx11xx · 19/06/2020 21:21

@BronzeSilverGold13

Sorry you are feeling the same way, the disappointment sucks doesn't it 💔

LAG1986 · 19/06/2020 23:28

Ladies, our day will come. I've stopped testing now. I found when I tested I came on straight after. Weird. Almost like I keep jinxing things. So I've not done this month. But now I'm on pain killers and antibiotics for dental pain. So not much hope. X

Mich2020 · 20/06/2020 13:01

CD32 today. Still no sign of AF. Really felt strange last night. Thought I was going to throw up. Hot flushes and very tired. Slept with the fan on full on me all night. Woke up this morning feeling better. Boobs still sore and slight cramps but could be down to dtd this morning. Not going to test again until mon/Tuesday. Then I will be really really late. How's everyone doing? Xx

NatJayne87 · 20/06/2020 13:39

Oh no im symptom spotting! Im 6dpo and have cramping and lower back ache and dare i say it i feel like my puspus smells lol i did a sweep of my vagina and have creamy white CM. Why is it when TTC we notice every thing, when the chances are i probably always have this lol

xx11xx · 20/06/2020 14:12

Good luck @Mich2020 🤞🏻🤞🏻

@NatJayne87 I get creamy cm every month, hopefully it is your month though ❤️

wenders4 · 20/06/2020 14:33

Well 33 day cycle confirmed this month as AF arrived today, last month was 31 days and previous 3 months 26 days. Would you start basing your ovulation date now on a 31-33 day cycle?
