AF Due 20/07

Continuation from thread AF due 20/06

@candycrush2298 oooooo OMG keep us posted. Test tomorrow morning! Send us a picture anyway we’ll see if can spot the line! We could see it last time when you couldn’t

Those scans are amazing. I had one with my son but they were nowhere near as good as they are now!

I think that's about weird about that guy demanding she test with him. A little controlling imo!

I'm still away having a lovely break with my family. No tests so couldn't test even if I wanted to. Boobs still
sore when I wake up but as I say I've had that before! Who knows what to think. My period is due next Mon/Tue. I'm due to have drinks on sat tho so may test that morning so I know if it's neg I'm likely not pregnant and can enjoy myself.

I will buy a Femometer and chart next cycle if nothing.

Update this morning (Based on what I said yesterday, and your feedback @candycrush2298, I think I’m 7DPO today but natural cycles’ changed ovulation date and thinks I’m only 4DPO):

• BBT has risen again after yesterday’s dip (see photo)
• Had more light pink / brown spotting when wiping yesterday evening at 4pm & 9pm (nothing in underwear, only when wiping, but definitely light pink and a pinky brown so it’s not AF-related)
• Caved and took a one step strip IC this morning and obviously BFN 😂 not sure why I did that but not feeling disheartened as I’m maximum 7DPO so no way it would be a BFP anyway!!

How is everyone else today?

Just seen that you might see a squinted @candycrush2298!! Keep us updated!

@Elakiya I will try take as a good of a pic as I can. Lol I think I have gotten better since then I also just didnt believe the Pro Matris. This one really can't even be seen inverted. Will keep trying and see if I can upload.

@snapple21 hope you are having a fab holiday. Let us know on Saturday what the test says xx
The video looked more like he was joking about the anger but he definitely wanted to be a part of the process.
And yay!!! If we unsuccessful let's all chart our BBT 😁😁😁

@TTC123firsttime I am not sure why I would jump about like i said i don't know too muxh about temping so dont know why it would change your ovulation date. But if you had a dip and its going back up plus you had pink spotting that definitely sounds like implantation. Lol if you are still busy implanting it would still be negative lol!! Give it maybe to Friday if you can to test again.

Scratch that. I think my period is starting 6 days early. My cycles are so weird this is the shortest I've had in a while. And my ov tests didn't indicate. Maybe I didn't ovulate this cycle?

@candycrush2298 @Elakiya I'm not so sure. It's really painful to the extent I can't BD. It's funny that this flared up exactly a year ago. I'm thinking it's a cyst again :(

@snapple21 you're sure its AF and not implantation?

@ReginaaPhalange ooooh so sorry that sounds really painful!! What do you do in these situations do you call a doctor? Do you just take pain meds? So sorry to hear it.

@Elakiya @TTC123firsttime scratch what I said about possible line it was definitely imaginary. I have just started with some pink spotting AF is here.

I don't think so it was quite a bit, like a bit in the toilet and fresh red on the paper. Also I have cramps. Will see how it progresses but I'm pretty sure it's early af. 2 weeks ago my ov test was negative so god knows why this is happening!

Morning everyone, 9DPO and a negative from me. Cramps and back ache since i woke up, ugh think my AF is coming too!

@snapple21 that seems strange what CD were you if it wasnt AF. I mean I know if its def AF its CD1 but if it wasnt what would you have been today?

@Kaybobx good morning, its only 9dpo dont count yourself out yet 😃😃

@candycrush2298 I just take some paracetamol although it doesn't really help too much. GP just puts it down to PCOS. It's annoying. Wrote this month off. AF either due Sunday, Monday or Wednesday depending on what app I look at lol

@ReginaaPhalange sorry to hear it!!! The longer you use the apps the more accurate they become. Let's hope she comes quickly so you can start again next cycle. Or maybe you have been lucky and you just dont know it yet 💜

@ReginaaPhalange I am soo sorry to hear that! I've never had a cyst flare up so can't imagine how that feels. I think you should go back to the GP and tell them how much pain your in, I've heard about cysts bursting and its awful.

@candycrush2298 aww sorry to hear about AF's arrival on a positive note we can try again :).

@Kaybobx I'm 9DPO as well and have major period cramps. I can sense AF's arrival too. How sad :(

@Elakiya yeah I had a big cry got it out of my system. I prayed (sorry if anyone isn't spiritual not trying to offend anyone) and now I am more mad that I didnt temp this morning oh well have to start on CD2 hahah. Going to set my alarm for 5am 7 days a week so I can temp as I become restless in my last few hours of my sleep so that would be the best bet for me plus I can fall back asleep very easily hahah. Lets see if I can do this. I have set up my CB monitor correctly and it says to start testing from Monday and thats the same as my fertile window beginning on my Flo app so think I got it right this time 🤣🤣 will use the CB monitor OPKs plus easy@home and see how I get on. Will also be able to use the menstrual cup from the first BD this cycle. Plus the maca root should be in my system now. So let's see...

As for you and @Kaybobx it's only 9dpo so no negativity yet!!! It could still be good news for you guys.

@candycrush2298 Awe it's good to let it all out. I'll probably cry too.
Im back to work on Friday! Its going to be a shock to the system after 4 months off nearly but that will certainly keep me busy and take my mind off things.
I dont feel like im out because of the negative test its the AF symptoms 😭 my lower back is aching, my boobs feel like they are going to explode and i have cramping. All the same things before she shows.

You can start from day 2 surely 😂 im definitely going to give it a go too

@Kaybobx I have watched a lot of TWW videos and many of them say they just felt like AF was starting. Even after their BFP they felt on the day they would usually start they would get their usual AF cramps etc. So I think we honestly need to forget about our symptoms. I can say this so easily because I am on CD1 🤣🤣🤣 but we really do have to chill. I was fine until pro matris sent me over the edge.

Its going to feel really weird going back are you ready for it? Hopefully it will keep your mind busy and distracted.

@candycrush2298 I didn't see that you'd got af too. Sorry.
I would be cd 26 today. Very short for me. Usually 31-32

@candycrush2298 haha i know but you know what we are like. With my daughter i never did any of this tracking or symptom spotting. Didn't go on any forums and it was of course nearly 3 years ago so i don't remember what it was like haha!!

Oh im so not ready to go back to work. I quite enjoy being a lady of leisure 🤣🤣🤣 i work really unsociable hours aswell too which im dreading! Some days i have to be up 4am so they'll be no checking my temperature at 7am haha

@snapple21 yes it would appear if your AF has really started we are both on CD1. Do you think you maybe ovulated really early? It does seem strange have you been taking anything that could have made your cycle shorter? Definitely seems like an outlier for you.

@Kaybobx yeah I know we can't help ourselves. Awww that must feel like the good old days no tracking, no stressing no psychotic testing 🤣
Oh man the early hours would kill me. Thats brutal! I can quite understand why you wouldn't be ready to go back to work yet 🤣🤣

@snapple21 it like my ovulation, it was 6 days early this month. Thats never happened before. The woman's body is just totally unpredictable!!

@candycrush2298 dont get me wrong, i was trying for a year just wasn't aware of this this stuff now. Not sure if its a good or bad things hahaha its sent me crazy 🤪

Oh the thought of work makes me cry haha!! Although i am only back 4 days not 5 which is a plus until probably September time when things have died down

@Kaybobx haha yeah I am not sure if its a good thing or a bad thing knowing about all these things. It doesn't seem to make a hell lot of a difference one way or the other. When its meant to happen its going to happen.
I mean dont get me wrong OPKs at least tell you the correct time to do it and there's loads of benefits but it does make me a little crazy hahah which is not so good. Some months are better than others some months I could wait until the day of AF is due and only then test. Other months I test like a crazy person. Just depends on what my hormones feel like doing to me that month 🤣🤣 there have even been months where we did BD in my fertile window but I was like meh it didn't work and I already knew it so didn't think about it and lived my life as normal. But yeah recent months where I have been trying more and more crazy things, so has the poas addiction.

Lol its going to suck initially but then you start forming a routine and it will feel alright. But at least its 4 days not 5. So thank goodness for small things hahaha.

This is why i don't get how people just get pregnant the first try or from one night stands. This stuff needs tracking and planning haha!! How people do it without using OPKs?

These last 4 months i must say I've became obsessed, i wasn't like it before. Ive still be tracking with OPKs but not all this million daily PG testing. What is all this about? 🤣 i think because we've been trying for so long its just getting frustrating now.

Yeah the 4 day thing is a plus! Who knows, i might actually enjoy being back haha! I think all we're going to be doing for quite some time is cleaning. Im sure you can imagine, gyms arent the most hygienic of places.

@Kaybobx lol yeah I honestly can never understand how one night stands result in pregnancy. Like I watch a lot of crime shows and on Law and Order SVU when a woman gets raped and then she ends up pregnant I am like BS there's no way!!!! Obviously there is but for me who has besn trying for so long its like no ways!!! My cousins have never used OPKs nor my friends when I asked them how long they were tracking two of three friends asked what is an OPK and I am like you b*tch!! Whahah I know wayyy too mean 😂

Yeah I know I have been using OPKs just over a year as first year we tried to be romantic and do it naturally hahahaah that's so funny thinking about it now....so naive. But last few months I have been getting progressively worse. Like what is up with that hahahah. I agree I do think because our levels of frustration are increasing due to it not happening that we are probably getting like this. I know I am going too far but I cant help myself, I have vented to my husband a lot and he is starting to blame himself which is the last thing I want is for us to give up or start blaming ourselves (even though I have lost count of how much of a failure I feel to not be able to do what so many other women can do naturally, I am used to my own thoughts but to hear his...) was kind of a wake up call that I need to take a step back.

Yeah hahahah ummm all that cleaning probably isn't going to be the most fun job in the world hahahaha!! But you are right you might actually enjoy it being surrounded by colleagues and gym users so will be good to speak to new faces and some familiars haha.
