24th June - 4th July Testing Buddies (thread 2)

[Wyewaving]

I hope @littlebee1990 doesn't mind me starting a new thread as our old one was full...

Congratulations to @SK2970 who had just posted a positive test!

(Point me in the right direction if I've missed a new thread)

Holy smokes! That's a lot of BFP's - congratulations everyone !

I'm losing my mind a bit over here. AF was supposed to arrive on the 26, but absolutely nothing so far AND all the recent tests I've done are BFN's. Aside from slightly sore boobs no other symptoms at all.... I'd really just like to know one way or another!

Question: It's different for everyone I'm sure, but on a scale of 1 to 10 how stressed out do you have to be for AF to be delayed?

@Tokyo29 sorry to hear that. Last month I was 5 days late . That was our first month ttc and not sure if it was related or if implantation failed. I have never been late before and I can't say I was overly stressed. Could it be you were later in ovulating than you thought ?

@1992EM I do kind of wonder if it's the anticipation of TTC? I'm still crossing my fingers for you this month! Thank you for sharing with me - it's always reassuring to hear from someone who had the same experience! Up until this month the only symptom I paid attention to was cramps which started 2/3 days before AF actually started. And I generally had a good idea of when AF was going to arrive.

Now I really wish I had started tracking ALL the symptoms of my cycle months ago when we started discussing TTC! Booooo me.

So I thought I was out of the game as my suspected spotting got heavier I assumed AF was arriving early yesterday but today it’s stopped. I’m due on in 2 days time but I have some CB digital early detector tests - do you think it’s worth using one now or shall I wait a couple of days for a more accurate reading?

@Fran2020 very interested to hear about the acupuncture, I'm up for trying anything! Going to try to get the hubby on some fertility smoothies this month, not sure on a recipe just yet!

After my BFN, AF showed her ugly face and on the same day I got a scan picture through from my cousin's girlfriend. Happy as I am for them, it did make me cry 😔 like 3 times...

I'm now going in to cycle 5 which the realistic part of my brain knows is completely fine but the other crazy hormonal part of my brain has me convinced I never have any chance of pregnancy ever 🤪

Also having real AFs after years of being on the pill is eurgh

@Tokyo29 I am exactly the same . I knew exactly when it would start, almost to the hour but don't remember any symptoms until it happened.

I think AF may be on her way . Have a sore head and lots of cm today. I am not overly surprised but the symptoms thing threw me and gave me hope .

@mylittlebean There is no harm in testing to see . Hopefully it is BFP.

Ah, I should have a AF added @Littlebee1990 - thank you!

@Fran2020 I'm now CD3 and trying to figure out when best to start testing with the CB kit. It's been pretty consistently 30 days for the last four cycles, but it says if it varies then to go by the shortest one out of the last six. So my fifth was 29 and my sixth was 28... so I guess I'll go for the 28 day one, which would mean I start testing I think on CD8, although I suspect that may be a little early (I'm not sure how much a day or two matters). Only five more days! I'll be interested to see if it suggests I'm ovulating earlier/later than I think I am. I think it's usually CD15/16 based on EWCM.

Hi! Congrats to all the 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰!!!!!! AF is approaching for me, and I believe she will come because I don't have any nausea or sore boobs or anything 🥺

Can I ask what does C in this thread stand for?

@nervousnoob the C beside people's names is to do with how many cycles they have been ttc for .
Sorry to hear AF is on her way. I think she is for me too. I am due tomorrow and a BFN this morning.

@mylittlebean2019 same as me! I seem to have dried up today today...I'm keeping an eye on it. I've got FRERS at home so if I'm still clear tonight I might just do one tomorrow morning to put the thought out my mind.

@1992EM Thank you! I really hope it helps too! 😊

@DoctorBambino Yeah that's what I thought! Oooh you'll have to let us know about their fertility smoothies! What food/ drink is good for us to have to help? Anything good with thickening the uterus?
Sorry about the scan picture. My friend posted on on IG too and it got me too. 😔 Lets stay positive!!

@Dinosaurus86 Ahhh ok, it's hard to know! I ovulate pretty early so start testing CD6 and usually get peak on CD11. Get EWCM around then too. It'll definitely be interesting for you to find out!

Hey everyone,

Sorry to those whose AF have arrived. Ive started spotting today on wiping im 9 DPO. Ive spotted from this point on quite a few cycles so i do think AF will arrive rather than it be implantation spotting. I dont really know how I feel about it yet. Last month i had nothing until 12DPO and AF came as a huge shock so i suppose its warning at least. It just makes the time up until ovulation feel so long. On to Cycle 13 we go. I really didnt envisage it taking so long. We have already put a limit on sept and will explore private fertility then but it just seems so long away

@mylittlebean2019 maybe test tomorrow if no more spotting by then. Give chance for anything to show up on a test

Hi All, new here! Been TTC for around 4 months but no such luck! Due on today, and usually very regular, usually clockwork timing but no AF yet but got a BFN this morning! Beginning to wonder if stressing about all this is now impacting my cycles?

Sorry to hear that @whilstwewait, I started spotting before this cycle and looked it up (hi doctor google 👋) it can apparently be a sign of low progesterone.

@Fran2020 foods which help uterine thickness include avocados, pineapple core, beetroot, pomegranate and spinach. I've been on the pineapple core train for the last 2 cycles, also upped my spinach... time for some avoid, beetroot and pomegranate I guess! 🤭 at least they can only make me healthy even if they dont end up magically helping make a baby!

@doctorbambino Thanks. Ive had progesterone checked and all was ok. I think a couple of days before is ok but not longer. Funnily enough i had smoothie everyday last cycle with spinach so maybe that made a difference. My machine broke this cycle as i didnt have as many x

Oh I see! Then mine should be C2. We just started actively trying since May. So June was our month 2 🙂 I think I was being too ambitious in thinking I'll be pregnant as soon as we tried. Damn Hollywood!

I cannot stop going to the toilet today. I was convinced AF was coming. I had 2 dots of blood this morning . Literally the size of a pin prick but nothing since. But when I wipe there is a slight yellow tinge to the cm . Has anyone else had this ? I have went to the toilet 15 times so far today to the point even my oh has noticed and he has only been home for 2 hours 😂.

@1992EM that sounds like what happened to me. My CM had a slight yellow look to it yesterday and today is sometimes brown which for me unfortunately normally means AF is on her way. Hope its not the same for you xx

@Whilstwewait I think this is what is happening for me . No brown yet but no doubt AF will show tomorrow. Sorry to hear you think AF is on her way for you .

CD36 today (usually 28-30ish) and another BFN 😩😩 admittedly this was taken at 5pm with diluted urine (and not much of it) but still not even a hint of a line! Never thought I'd wish AF to show up now! X

@sle0911 I would try tomorrow morning as it is more concentrated x

@1992EM yeh I think il use my last test for FMU and if still BFN il well and truly count myself out 😩

[quote 1992EM]@sle0911 I would try tomorrow morning as it is more concentrated x[/quote]
Do you think it will make a difference? I'm on CD 27 (29-31 days) or should I simply wait it out till AF shows up (yea it's so easy you know 💁🏻‍♀️ 😫) I think by CD 27 it wouldn't matter which part of the day I test my urine. What do you all think?

@sle0911

It happened to me last month. My cycle was suddenly stretched to 35 days. It was my first month trying (May) so I guess it was the stress - heck I'll never know. I completely empathise what you mean by you wished AF shows up. Hope you get a delayed BFP, than AF. But yeah, the uncertainty is agonising.
