AF due on/around 6th August 2020

[ARIO]

Hey all. TTC baby number 2. Last month I was convinced I was pregnant but AF came right on time!

I'm now CD 6, AF has just finished and approaching this month with OPKs for the first time and following the SMEP plan! Trying to feel positive! Anyone else with me?

@Threnody good luck to you ❤️ Us older ladies still have it, I know we do 💪🏼😄 Just got to get that good egg x

@Threnody @HouseOfRunners I feel positive for us and as you say at least we have tried

Well I broke this morning and took a test (earliest day I could and friend visiting for the weekend so wanted to just check before we have wine 😂) BFN. Not surprised but can’t help feeling a bit disappointed even although AF isn't due until Tuesday/Weds so not out yet

@shinylovesshoes I'm due on Tues/Weds and I also caved in this morning - didn't have the slightest line so feel disappointed now! Knew I should have just waited, when are you going to test again?xxx

@gezelligheid I always take any unusual-for-me symptoms as a good sign. fx!

@HouseOfRunners lol, yes, we do!

@shinylovesshoes, @Terri055 it's still early!

I'm 5dpo today, still got nausea - obviously too early for a symptom, but I'm wondering if it means I've succeeded in increasing my progesterone levels.

@Threnody thank you, just getting myself frustrated as others have taken theirs early and are showing faint lines xxx

@Terri055 How many dpo are you?

@Threnody 10DPO xx

8dpo today and took a test this morning... so early, I know. I literally have no patience. 🙈 It was a Morrisons cheapie and I swear I saw the tiniest hint of a line - but I think I've just gone crazy tbh. 😂 It wasn't even FMU. I ordered some FRERs to arrive tomorrow so thinking I might do a test Sunday morning at 10dpo with FMU.

I know it's so early for symptoms, but the other morning while preparing breakfast I had to run to the loo cause I had a sudden wave of nausea come over me. Very unusual for me and just threw me off for a second. I've also got very sore nipples. 🙈 Not had any cramping or anything though and I could just be trying to talk myself into thinking this could be my month. I don't know. I'm also super emotional but that's not unusual for me regardless of hormones! 😆

@DawnLaura that sounds really promising! Keep us posted! I'm only 3dpo today and due to test next weekend when we leave to go on holiday! At least if it's negative I have the holiday to distract me and I can drink!

@ARIO Distraction is definitely a good thing! Especially for us TTCers.

I've taken a FRER with FMU today at 10dpo but it's a BFN. I know it's still early but I sorta just feel a little deflated and like that's me out this month.

8dpo today and bfn. Not surprising, it's so early, and my earliest ever bfp was 9dpo. But still disappointing obviously. Temps have dropped slightly, and I'm just not feeling optimistic at all. I'm hoping that if I'm not pregnant I'll at least have a longer luteal phase, so just hoping af doesn't show up on Wednesday.

@Threnody It's definitely still early days, so don't count yourself out yet (I'm trying to tell myself the same thing lol).

I think I actually might have only just had implantation. I started spotting this morning and have had a sharp stabbing pain on my lower right side. AF not due for another 4 days and I don't usually spot much before my period... but I could just be getting my period early maybe.

Thanks, @DawnLaura. FX that it is implantation.

Oops, didn't mean to post yet. I was going to say, I had a burning crampy feeling yesterday which I'm hoping could have been implantation, it's similar to what I felt with my sons around the same sort of time.

@Terri055 10dpo is still so early, have you tested again since?

How is everyone else doing?

@Threnody I tested again yesterday morning but the same negative result - had a bit of spotting yesterday and really bad cramps but no sign of period yet, due on tomorrow/weds so just waiting for it arrive so I can start the cycle again!xxx

I can't help but feel so meh tonight. I'm bleeding a little heavier now and cramping a bit, so I think AF is here 4 days early. So my post-chemical-pregnancy 33 day cycles are now gone and I'm back to my normal 28/29 day cycle I guess.

Just in time for my DP taking me away for the night tomorrow as an early birthday present. I'm gonna put this cycle behind me, enjoy a few drinks tomorrow (hopefully, I actually have no idea where we're going or what we're doing, it's a total surprise) and move onto cycle 5 just hoping for the best.

Good luck ladies, baby dust to you all. xx

I didn’t test again after my BFN on Friday and glad I didn’t waste a test as AF arrived this morning with a vengeance, like nothing I’ve ever had. I never get cramps and was doubled over at one point. On to the next cycle

@shinylovesshoes, @DawnLaura, sorry af has arrived.
@Terri055 sorry, fx af doesn't show in the end.

I think I'm out, af due tomorrow, no spotting yet today (normally get some the day before, since the mc), but bfn, temps dropping, rhr going down, I have cramps, and I'm quite irritable.

@Threnody I'm out too, I came on this morning! :-(
Fingers crossed for us all next month xxx

@Terri055, ah sorry!

Hey guys sorry to hear AF has got some of you. Im 5dpo so still got a while to go as my ovulation was late this month. Got some cramping but nothing really out of the ordinary.

Sorry to hear AF has got some more of you. :(
I'm not quite sure what's going on - AF hasn't properly came on yet, still just spotting but I assume it's just in the lead up because it's due in 2 days now.

In better news, my lovely DP took me away and proposed yesterday! So I'm now engaged!! 😍 I was able to forget about TTC for a little while which honestly was refreshing. I've woken up this morning feeling very content. We've already discussed a date for the autumn of 2022 to get married, in hopes that I'll be pregnant by the end of this year and gives us plenty of time for everything!

AF came this morning 1 day early . Really thought we covered all our bases this month..onto cycle 4.

Congratulations to those who have got their BFP and good luck to everyone who is still in their 2ww...fingers crossed for you all!

Posted that in the wrong thread...but it applies to all you ladies too!
