2/3dpo anyone?

[HannahAD]

I’m either 2 or 3 dpo ( 3 days after my peak opks). Anyone else? I’m very emotional today, don’t know if it’s just one of those days or if It’s something else

@ChickenNuggetRose when is your period due? I’m guessing you don’t normally cramp so early on in luteal phase?

Mine is due tomorrow apparently. I’m 12 dpo today, the tinged cm seems to have stopped, so as period is so close I’m waiting til tomorrow to see what happens. Plus I don’t have any tests and they’re so expensive at the chemist here, so figure I can have a nice takeaway or bottle of wine as a treat instead 😆

@A1b2c3d4e5f6g7 One app says period is due 3 days, the other says 5 days 🤣 So I'll just take it as 4 days! I normally get cramps a day or two before my period, not usually like this! I did get cramps this long when I was pregnant with my first, but I don't want to get my hopes up! 😞

Fingers crossed your period doesn't arrive tomorrow 🤭 Sounds good, treat yourself! 😬 Will you buy a test if it doesn't arrive tomorrow?

Ohh @ChickenNuggetRose that sounds very positive then! 🤞 Ha yes I will, if periods late, I’ll get a test 😂 I do hate squinting for lines tho!

It’s a weird month for me, everything has gone now, the cramps, the back ache, the sore boobs. I’m just waiting now...

@A1b2c3d4e5f6g7 yeah I came on about an hour after I messaged about the cramps 😂 hope you’re doing ok just waiting! @MoominC sorry to hear you’re out too.

Hey guys sorry I've been mia had my niece here for a few days which has been a nice distraction 😊

@ChickenNuggetRose fingers crossed af doesn't show up for you and the cramping is good news 🤞

@A1b2c3d4e5f6g7 have you tried amazon? You get get like 50 cheapie tests for quite cheap which are good for when your feeling inpatient and want to test 😂 hopefully af will stay away for you.

@Wanderdream sorry to hear your af came too 😔 I was expecting mine this month for some reason. Its like my body just knew. Hopefully we will have more luck next cycle x

@ChickenNuggetRose- that sounds like it could be a good sign, but I definitely relate to not wanting to get your hopes up -It can be so hard though.

@A1b2c3d4e5f6g7 -sounds a good idea not to have any tests in the house, but that's also a good call about the cheapy ones from @MoominC
-does anyone recommend a cheapie brand? You hear some stories about some bad ones...

I've attached my chart -I went to a funeral over my fertile window and so really had counted this month out until I started getting carried away with thinking how lovely the timing would be with goodbyes and hellos... But BD 3 days b4 ovulation is pretty unlikely I think, esp at 36 and with not much EWCM... Weirdly, I rarely get peaks on opk's, I'm not sure why.

@Wanderdream -sorry to hear about the ole AF but wishing you all the luck for next cycle ✨

@Wanderdream ah sorry about period arriving 😐

@MoominC for some reason I hate taking tests! Now I’m temping I can see if temp starts dropping and if my charts not looking good, I can manage my expectations 😂 Sounds like a lovely weekend with your niece.

@CurlewCalls sorry about the funeral. I’d say three days before sounds like you’re still in, and that last temp spike looks really good!

Morning, has anyone tested today?

I’m definitely out, temp plummeted this morning so period is on its way

I tested again this morning and still bfn so expecting my period either today or tomorrow

Sorry to hear it @A1b2c3d4e5f6g7 and @HannahAD -not def out til AF I guess? But I know the disappointment -hope you're both doing okay and are treating yourselves a bit today x

My AF's due on Thursday and not going to bother testing again as I don't have any symptoms apart from a dull ache on the right side of my pelvis, which I'm pretty sure is some kind of muscle thing. Looking forward to guilt free wine!

Any news from anyone else? Hope everyone's doing okay x

Has anyone been to the doctors before about their fertility?

Thanks @CurlewCalls period is here in full force. Will be having a nice bath and a glass of wine tonight :)

How are you? You never know, I didn't have any symptoms when I got pregnant previously. Of course, since then I've had loads, and not been at all pregnant 😁

@A1b2c3d4e5f6g7
Nothing yet!! I did a test yesterday it was negative but no AF yet!! Had a bit of a break down last night. My other half was sweet bless him! Not really sure when I am due on my OPK says 2 days... We shall see. Not holding out much hope but then a tiny part of me still holds out hope!!

Hope you enjoyed your lazy day yesterday. X

Period is 1 day late and still bfn 😫

@A1b2c3d4e5f6g7 -gah AF but the wine and bath sounds great :) At least you know now I guess -I know for sure AF's coming tomorrow and I just want her to come now so I can move on and stop being so distracted..! I think that's the same timing as you @Boz22 -these days are the toughest for me I think... Like I know there's v little hope but it just clings on!

@HannahAD argh, it's so hard the uncertainty of it! Fingers triple crossed for you! I had my AMH levels checked last year and told my GP I was trying this year, and as I'm over 35, she said to come back for tests if we haven't conceived in 6 months.

Hi all, thanks for the welcome! I'm 10dpo today and bfn. Damn thing is whiter than white. I also don't have a single symptom, unless you count hunger and rattiness, which is probably just greed and the torture of the TWW!

Last time I had cramps from 11dpo-14dpo with a vv faint bfp on 14dpo, but I can't imagine things would go exactly the same way again. I know it's early but I'm already counting myself out.

AF came for me this morning booo, but feeling good about the next cycle, I'm going to try evening primrose oil this cycle to try and increase EWCM -how are @HannahAD and @Boz22 doing?

@weathervane123 -I can so relate to the hunger and rattiness! Hope you're doing okay with the torturous TWW!

@CurlewCalls sorry to hear AF got you. That's rubbish but I'm glad you're feeling positive.

I'm 11dpo and stark white bfn this morning. No symptoms at all, not even a bloody twinge! I just want AF to show up now - due in maybe four or five days. But who knows thanks to my mmc last month. Hoping she'll come early so I can just move the f on (and eat some good cheese)!

Morning, sorry both, not fun. Hope you're both okay.

@CurlewCalls have you tried pink grapefruit juice for ewcm? I started it last month, got five days of ewcm! I'm back on it today

@weathervane123 -sorry about the bfn, I can totally relate to just wanting to know, even if it's just to move on to the next cycle... Good cheese sounds great! Hope you enjoy :) (also is there some you should avoid in TWW?)

@A1b2c3d4e5f6g7 -Ooh thanks! I did read about grapefruit juice and it's on the list! Is pink better than normal?

@CurlewCalls I don't know, someone said try Tropicana (as not from concentrate) pink grapefruit so its the one I bought! It is sweeter though than normal. I quite like the taste. But was so impressed with the results - two cartons of it lasted me til after ovulation

@CurlewCalls got AF last night :( how are you?

@A1b2c3d4e5f6g7 that's such helpful advice, thank you! I'll look out for that for sure

@HannahAD -I'm so sorry to hear about AF -it's so disappointing... How are you holding up? I'm kind of feeling okay this month, I think because I'd already counted it out when I realised I'd miss most of the fertile window, but have definitely felt the sadness... It took me so long to meet someone I wanted to do this with, I'm still happy to at least be on the journey, but I'm aware it might be a tough path ahead... Thinking of you today x

Bfn Saturday, bfn Monday, I got full on PMs and gave up. Period was due yesterday. Tested this morning and... Bfp. Strong pink line too! After a full year of trying, pissing on mountains of ovulation strips, obsessively charting temperatures, wasting a fortune on tests... Finally there!!

Im laughing and crying.

Just wanted to post here to not give up hope - I used frers all along and technically the Monday one ought to have been positive, only two days before missed period! but it wasn't!

Thank you for being there, I would not have made it with my sanity intact without your support during the "wait" each cycle.

@Hoping4second congrats!!! That's lovely news
