Symptoms before testing

[allthingssparkly]

AF is due a week today so I'm considering testing around then if AF doesn't arrive. My cycles are normally regular and on time.

Yesterday and today I've had mild cramping and just felt a bit unusual, I haven't felt like this any other month!

Has anyone found themselves having very mild symptoms? I know some symptoms can be a sign of PMS but things just feel different.

@laura2093 I am new to this place, but my heart sank when I read your messages. I'm so sorry and I have all my fingers crossed for you. Sending every best wish your way.

I told myself to chill out after a day of complete anxiety yesterday. But here I am again with the googling etc.

Here goes with a little bit of TMI - I've never had any spotting to speak of during my cycle, AF usually either just appears at full force on day 26, or I get a little stringy brown CM the day before. But these last two months of TTC I have had pinkish CM up near my cervix on day 20 last month and day 22 this month. Obviously AF came last time, and right on cue. But this pink CM is new to me.

I think I am about 10dpo today - starting OPK and BBT next month if I get AF this time. Took a test this morning and got a BFN.

Any thoughts?

Thankyou ladies ❤️
Bloods done today and a swab booked in for next week, just transferring my partner to the same doctors but then he is having a semen test and swabs too before any referrals will be made. Fingers crossed!

I am going to track my bbt this cycle too I think to help me confirm when ovulation is cause I would hate to just be missing it. We don't tend to DTD too much after peak so I wonder if we are missing it?!

Any advice for BBT? Best times/trackers? When are the rises and dips? Xxx

Thanks @Ginini think im out again this month. Verrrry faint frer this morning again but have read certain tests are showing pink indentations 😭 Began spotting this evening also so im convinced AF is about to show its dreaded little self!

@laura2093 glad the tests are done!

I'm trying the temping but not sure how successful it'll be yet! Just get yourself a decent thermometer!

@dreamingofanother sorry if you are out! When are you due? Are they the same tests you're getting the faint lines with?

@Ginini i got faints with Frer, Clear blue and IC's. Still only spotting today which isnt normal for me. Ive had what appeared to be 3 CP's now and GP has referred to fertility clinic, already had all the routine GP blood testing etc done. OH was supposed to have SA today but appointment was cancelled because of covid Crappy time to be ttc unsuccessfully I suppose! Trying to stay positive is becoming more and more difficult every cycle.

Hope you all have a lovely weekend xx

Sorry @Ginini due AF tomorrow or Sunday. Normally a 28 day cycle but the odd month is a 27 day.

BFN for me this morning!
Had 6 days of brown spotting so thought I was in with a chance as I've never had this before 🙄
