AF arrived this morning 😭 I really thought that I was pregnant this month but turns out the symptoms I thought I was having were actually symptoms of a kidney infection. On to the next month x

SRyellow · 18/12/2020 16:53

@Sunflowers81😔 sending hugs.

@cherrypickd thank you, you’re right and that’s good advice. I haven’t tested today so 9dpo tomorrow, one day closer.

Lottiebugz22 · 18/12/2020 17:02

I did a test tonight. BFN. Period is due tomorrow so I'm probably out. Gutted. Oh well next cycle.

Bluepolkadots42 · 18/12/2020 18:28

Just properly catching up with the thread @Sunflowers81 I’m so sorry to hear what is happening for you. Sending hugs and Flowers have you been able to speak to anyone from the EPU?

@Tara1711 sorry to hear AF showed her ugly face and that you’ve got a kidney infection. It’s so hard when you feel so certain symptoms are pregnancy ones. Hope the infection shifts quickly for you.

Bluepolkadots42 · 18/12/2020 18:29

And @Lottiebugz22 sorry to hear about your bfp too. Definitely look forward to next cycle and try to enjoy the 2 weeks before fertile week where you can relax a bit and not focus on TTc. That’s what I always tell myself anyway!

Yeah 😊 Definitely going to just relax and not think about it so much.

Thank you for the messages @cherrypickd @SRyellow @Bluepolkadots42 I'm definitely not one for big announcements...feels like tempting fate too much, but seeing my mum on Sunday so I think highly likely I'll end up blurting it out then! Think I'm going to try and keep it on the downlow for a few more weeks with friends unless they specifically ask how I'm getting on. I'm completely incapable of telling fibs convincingly! 🤦🏼‍♀️🙈

Aww I'm so sorry to hear that @Sunflowers81 So gutting. Hope you're ok. Let yourself have a cry and feel sad. Christmas will be a good distraction though and then next month will be your month 💪 Sending strength & hugs 💜 xx

Lottiebugz22 · 18/12/2020 20:32

I'm out. AF just arrived a day early!

MamaPheebz · 18/12/2020 21:41

Hey everyone! I’ve not been checking in much and when I do no-one replies to me anyway. Lol!
Have we had many BFPs this month? I’ve just finish AF and due my peak on Christmas day. You don’t get much more festive than that lol!

Awwww amazing!! I've a feeling this will be your lucky month. I got AF today 😔 x
Dogmum13 · 19/12/2020 01:35

@MamaPheebz if this is an average month for me then I'll be due my peak on boxing day! 😬

Raffie13 · 19/12/2020 11:13

I'm going mad here..CD25 and still no positive OPK!
In summer I had a random 70 day cycle, I hope it's not happening again! 😭

millionairesshortbread4 · 19/12/2020 14:38

Hey all!! 2DPO with AF due NYE. We used the turkey baster method this month which worked a treat and zero stress for DH! Hoping to see more BFPs before the month's out ❤️

Highfalutinlootin · 19/12/2020 15:54

Hi all! I have not been active here the last week but I wanted to chime in to give my experience since so many of us spend so much time symptom spotting. I got my BFP yesterday, and I have had absolutely zero symptoms. None. The previous TTC month my boobs were sore, I was dizzy, etc and that all turned out to mean nothing.

So I just wanted to say conventional wisdom that you'll have symptoms might not be correct for all. Don't count yourself out yet if you're not feeling anything! Hoping for BFPs for all of you soon!

MiniBaker · 19/12/2020 16:01

Hey everyone! Just wondering if anyone has had success with acupuncture? I had 4 sessions in the lead up to ovulation this month and hoping it will help get the BFP. Would love to hear any success stories! xx

ACNass · 19/12/2020 18:14

@Highfalutinlootin congratulations!! How wonderful!

Highfalutinlootin · 19/12/2020 19:27

@ACNass Thank you! Just realized you've been quiet too. How's it going this cycle? Have you tested yet?

ACNass · 19/12/2020 20:13

@Highfalutinlootin I did a test 11 DPO and BFN. AF is due tomorrow. I might test again tomorrow if af doesn't show up.

Cienega · 19/12/2020 21:13

Hi all,
I stopped getting notifications of posts here so I thought all had gone quiet.i also got my period soon after my last post so I got caught up in starting again!!
I was so so happy to come on and read about the bfps!!!
Massive congratulations ladies! Xxx

@MgW1 I was so sorry to continue reading and see that your bfp ended that way. Have avrelasxinh Christmas and good luck with all your tests x next year will be your year xx

Cienega · 19/12/2020 21:19

I am now on CD12 and I just realized that I actually have no clue what im doing and I really haven't researched ttcing properly! I came into this way too cocky because I fell pregnant so quickly in the past (albeit accidentally, happy ones ofcourse)

I have been relying on my opks as I don't always see my ewcm. My cycles have been varying from 24-27 days so I don't ovulate on the same day each month. Yesterday and the day before I noticed ewcm. I planned to bd last night but bloody fell asleep! I didn't panic too much as was waiting for peak opk which I haven't gotten yet. We bd'd this morn but I didn't notice anymore ewcm today. Still no peak opk and im not even sure it's that high. Will bd again tonight and every day from now but I'll I'm now panicking that I should be relying on ewcm and not opks and I missed my window as a result!!
Really hoping to make it happen this month as the timing would be great. Have I missed this one!? X

MgW1 · 19/12/2020 21:31

@Sunflowers81
Oh no 😔 sorry to hear this. Have you phoned the doc? Xx

Cienega · 19/12/2020 21:41

@Sunflowers81i missed your last post when catching up. I'm so sorry to hear this. Sending all the love and support xx

Highfalutinlootin · 19/12/2020 22:14

@Cienega I've never been able to really assess my cervical mucus either. If I had to rely on that for predicting ovulation I'd never have known. I found OPKs much more reliable.

SRyellow · 20/12/2020 07:01

Hi guys, I caved this morning at 10dpo and tested, I got bfn but felt like I could see a VERY faint line so faint you had to move the stick to catch the light. Am I going mad trying to find false hope or has anyone else had this early on? Or had a bfn 10dpo and then got a positive? X

Highfalutinlootin · 20/12/2020 07:35

@SRyellow My first BFP was so light my husband couldn't see it and I had to move it around in the light to see it. I tested later that day and it was dark enough to see, so maybe!
