@Portlandia I think I’m out for this month, did two more tests after the first faint line and got BFN. I’m due AF today so we shall we what happens, but I’m have been crampy for a few days so it’s not looking good! Try and wait to test that’s definitely what I’m going to do next month!x

gimmeavino · 25/05/2021 09:33

I think I'm out....no AF no BFP but last dtd on 6th so even if I've ovulated late I wouldn't have caught it.

I've been reading about women who don't get BFPs until a few weeks after AF is due because of PCOS/multiple pregnancies/just general slow release of HCG so who knows. I have a lot of the symptoms of PCOS but have had relatively okay periods (not clockwork but not too bad - just horrendously heavy)....so I'm not counting myself as fully fully out until AF is here but I'm going to stop testing before I go bankrupt/lose the plot

Is there a POAS addicts anonymous? Asking for a friend Hmm

Willow1982 · 25/05/2021 10:48

@gimmeavino If you find a POAS anonymous please let me know, last month I was mad enough to test about 3 dpo what was I thinking!!! Working from home...alone... doesn’t help!! I’m trying so hard this week not to test, I think the key is to not have them in the house!! xx😂

SkaterChick · 25/05/2021 11:09

Started feeling nauseous last night and this morning. Then AF showed up :(

Ttcbn2 · 25/05/2021 13:50

Well I’m out this month 😭 AF arrived :(

Congratulations to everyone that got their BFP.. and to those who didn’t.. hopefully next month is our month ❤️

gimmeavino · 25/05/2021 14:05

@Willow1982 working from home definitely doesn't help! Although I definitely think I'd end up stashing them in my work bag too 😂

Twochews78 · 25/05/2021 14:55

@gimmeavino @Willow1982 I need one too! We need to start a support group!

Found out that my 11 son has been drinking out of the vessel I pee in to dip my sticks! He seen the funny side of it.

Still no af or bfp. Bought more frers. I’m less hopeful now, feel less pregnant today. I wonder if af will arrive tomorrow on cd28!

Sorry to here that @Ttcbn2 and @SkaterChick. xx

Willow1982 · 25/05/2021 16:19

@Twochews78 that did make me laugh about your son, poor boy haha!!😂
Did you test today with a frer? I’m cycle day 27 and making up symptoms as I go I think!! Of course I’m putting my bad skin and bloating down to I must be pregnant this time, rather than Iv just eaten crap all day!! Feeling a bit itchy to test now, but reckoning I’m only 8dpo so really no point in being disappointed yet!! Honestly I don’t feel like it’s this month for me! xx

SkaterChick · 25/05/2021 16:32

@Willow1982 every symptom I get im like this is deffo different to usual, clearly I'm pregnant 🤣

Willow1982 · 25/05/2021 18:09

@SkaterChick exactly that!!😂😂

Emsjourney · 25/05/2021 19:00

@Twochews78 😂😂 made me chuckle too!

10dpo and resisting the urge to test! Af due Sunday. If not this month then on to cycle 9! 🤦🏻‍♀️

Twochews78 · 25/05/2021 19:36

@Willow1982 it was a frer today. We laughed too! He’s said “that will be a good story”

Well I’m out! AF arrived, that was the most intense month ever. Some serious PMS, my husband said “is that the way you’re gonna be every month from now on” 🤣 angry mood swings!

You never know!! I’m keeping all my fingers crossed for you, it’s still early days!! I felt like you did last month and didn’t even test, this month was different. I totally felt pregnant, lots of cramping and backache and my boobs were really sore for over a week. I’m off to eat some chocolate!

Keep us posted!! xx

Willow1982 · 25/05/2021 20:50

@Twochews78 Ah man, I was so hopeful for you, that’s rubbish!! Fingers crossed for the next cycle for you,
I feel it’s been an intense month too, the pressure of the fertile week was not how we are going to do next month if this isn’t our month!! I think if Iv got to the weekend without AF showing or without testing it won’t be sort of a miracle!!xx

Lollipop25 · 25/05/2021 22:38

Well I'm out too🙄🙈 CD33 and AF due tomorrow and have had some cramps and spotting today so onward to cycle 3 after mc. #Gonna buy me some alcohol tomorrow😂# best of luck for anyone still in TWW.

Hello 👋🏻 all ! I've never tracked my ovulation etc but after reading up on it it seems quite complex or am I being thick ?! Lol
Do the ovulation sticks work well and does tracking help with more of a chance of conceiving? Thanks xx

Sophiederuges · 26/05/2021 06:58

@CocoLady I started tracking 3 months ago after a miscarriage on the advice of the nurse to check I was actually ovulating. It is actually quite easy but depending on your personality type, you can easily get obsessed.
I know my body much better now so I managed to only temp and use OPK around ovulation time and until ovulation was confirmed by my app. Then I stopped because I get too obsessed with the “pregnancy sign” part of the app Hmm

Sophiederuges · 26/05/2021 07:03

Tentatively joining you as I think I might be pregnant... But I’m always worried it could be an evap or an indent...

It was yesterday at 10dpo.

CTMcG · 26/05/2021 07:16

Im now 2 days 'late' on cd36 but bfn 2 days ago. Not as regular as i thought! 15dpo when i THINK i ovulated but maybe i didnt and my body tried again a week later which means no chance for me this week... i dtd 5 days the week i thought i ovulated and only once a week since... school girl error on my first cycle ttc#1. Just wish af would show her face so i can move on and go again!

Sam8582 · 26/05/2021 07:18

@Sophiederuges that looks like it has some colour to it...fingers crossed for you 🤞🏻🤞🏻

Sunshine8888 · 26/05/2021 08:56

Sorry to those out this cycle @AlmostLondoner @SkaterChick @Twochews78 @Ttcbn2 x sorry I’ve missed anyone 💕

Not much to report here. 7DPO, too early for anything so just been keeping busy and trying not to think about it too much. X

Sunshine8888 · 26/05/2021 08:57

@Sophiederuges that looks positive to me. Test again tomorrow to see if the lines are darker

Sunshine8888 · 26/05/2021 09:10

@CTMcG this may have happened to me too as got my peak, LH levels dropped but then rose again a few days later. I’ve had a week off DTD so if I didn’t ovulate around my peak then I’ve no chance. It’s only my first cycle so not expecting much

CTMcG · 26/05/2021 10:44

@Sunshine8888 1st cycle for me too and i have just been put on levothyroxine for subclinical hypothyroidism so maybe a good thing i wasnt lucky enough to get a bfp first month!

Willow1982 · 26/05/2021 10:45

@Lollipop25 sorry to hear that AF came, I will be on to cycle 3 after mc in June, I think by the end of this week I’ll know if I’m joining you! At least you can have a good drink over the BH!!xx
@CocoLady I agree with @Sophiederuges it can become obsessive, Iv been tracking a couple of months, I think once you get the idea of when things happen it’s slightly less stressful, it threw me some curve balls at first with early peaks, but I’m getting used to it now, good luck, to you, and congratulations on the BFP Sophie looks good to me!!xx
@Sunshine8888 I’m thinking I’m about 9dpo so near you, app says AF due tomorrow, hoping it’s wrong, just waiting to see what the end of the week brings me!! Zero symptoms, so zero urge to test.....yet!!!xx

1stimer16 · 26/05/2021 12:11

Congrats to all with their BFP’s!

Fingers crossed for all of us waiting for next month x
