Hya all

I am new to mums net. I am currently in my tww and losing hope again for this month. My af is due Friday the 24th. I have no symptoms really! Slight bruised feeling in sides of my boobs, and yesterday and sharp stabbing pains in my pelvic area. That's about it really. Just feel like af will show again and it's not happened again. This was my chart for this month as well and when we dtd

@Leibee87 same here. Tested this morning using an early detection one and bfn. I’m going to hold out until Sunday before testing again.

rita83 · 23/09/2021 10:40

I have tested super early guys as well my af isn't due til tomo so I have caught this very early. Sometimes it doesn't show til 15 or 16dpo

Hi, hoping I could join in, I’m on the 2ww I’m now about 3dpo and really hoping for the best been ttc for a long time now and my friends are all starting having kids as well so harder for me when it doesn’t happen

Leibee87 · 23/09/2021 13:32

Welcome @Marie93.

Although we just started ttc I feel the similar way. My best friend has two and my other bestie is due Feb with her 1st. We all grew up together from babies so it would be lovely if we could do the same.

FlyOnTheWall89 · 23/09/2021 13:59

Welcome @Marie93 - not sure how long is long for you but I have found it mentally more draining than I anticipated. I am 32 and also have lots of friends with babies, all with their own stories from first month conception to MC and immediate conception, to IVF.

I did an FRER this morning and BFN. I got my static smiley on CD17 and today is CD32. If I didn't actually ovulate until CD19, maybe I am not yet late even though average cycle is 30days. Does that make sense? This is my first time TTC, cycle 5 atm.

Any experience of BFN and then BFP. I aware chances are probably pretty low now having had a BFN at 13DPO but interested to hear from people more knowledgeable than me... xx

Cruz86 · 23/09/2021 14:52

Hi @Marie93! Good luck with this cycle, it really does start to feel so disheartening doesn't it. Got my fingers crossed for you x

Cruz86 · 23/09/2021 14:54

How often are your cycles longer than 30 days @FlyOnTheWall89? If it's a pretty good sign that AF is late, your hcg levels just might not be high enough yet. Especially if implantation happened later on in the TWW, it may have only been a few days ago!

Marie93 · 23/09/2021 15:23

Thanks everyone, we have been trying for a couple of years now
@Leibee87 yeah it’s hard anit it, my friend is onto her second now which I’m so happy for them just hard
Thanks you @Cruz86
@FlyOnTheWall89 yeah I got my smiley on day 14 so I think I ovulated around them as now I’ve finished I got bad headache which I always get after ovulating
Yeah it could be still a little early for it to pick up maybe try again in a couple of days I’ve got my fingers crossed for you

FlyOnTheWall89 · 23/09/2021 15:35

@Cruz86 @Marie93 Thanks for the supportive messages girls.

Ye fingers firmly crossed. Would love it to be our turn for a BFP. I think I will wait to test again until Sunday if AF isn't here by then.

The only other 32 day cycle I have had was my second month off the pill back in March - tomorrow will be day 33. Could just be slightly delayed so wont get my hopes up too much. Last month I had a 29 day cycle.

Cruz86 · 23/09/2021 19:15

Got my fingers crossed for you @FlyOnTheWall89!

I'm on my third day of light spotting but cramps are starting to ramp out now. Not even on the next cycle yet 😩

Cruz86 · 23/09/2021 19:21

Meant to say ramp up haha

Mummytobe93 · 23/09/2021 20:53

I’ve got an uncomfortable bloating / indigestion feeling this evening I might skip dinner🤢 hope AF comes soon cause I can’t take it much longer 😅

Cruz86 · 23/09/2021 21:10

Yes I felt the same tonight too!! It's driving me mad

Mummytobe93 · 24/09/2021 07:22

No AF for me this morning … I usually get proper cramping the night before, but had no cramping just the bloody bloating!

13 DPO today, tested negative on FRER and fermometer. Last time I went past CD 27 was in January (on the pill). So I REALLY haven’t got a clue what’s going on.
That bi*ch AF is playing with me, and probably going to arrive as soon as I’ll start hoping for a BFP🥲

FlyOnTheWall89 · 24/09/2021 07:25

I’m out this month :-(. It’s the first month I’ve genuinely thought I was pregnant. Won’t be symptom spotting next month that’s for sure. Will join an Oct TTW X

FlyOnTheWall89 · 24/09/2021 07:42

@Mummytobe93 what CD are you now? I just had my longest luteal phase since March when I had been off the pill for 2 months. I really really got my hopes up. There are loads of threads that talk about late BFP -I think it’s very common so until you’ve got AF, you’re not out. Try to stay relaxed x

Mummytobe93 · 24/09/2021 07:48

Hi @FlyOnTheWall89 , today Im CD28. Since coming off the pill in May, my cycles have been shorter (see the pic) than they used to (before I started the pill I’d get cycles as long as 30 days sometimes).

Maybe my body is going back to my “natural” cycle length? I don’t think I’ll ever go back on the pill cause this whole TTC proves to me that it’s actually a miracle to conceive 😂

2WW anyone? Af due Friday
Cruz86 · 24/09/2021 08:19

Fingers crossed you get your bfp over the next few days @Mummytobe93!!

AF arrived in full swing @FlyOnTheWall89? 😩

AF due tomorrow for me. Very very light spotting now but I am crampy so pretty sure I'll be greeted by the extremely heavy flow I get every CD1!! 😩

FlyOnTheWall89 · 24/09/2021 09:48

@Mummytobe93 Yes it could be just readjusting to the new normal. It looks like you have a small variance so you could just be a little late or it could be a sign of a BFP to come. I got myself too excited and feel enormously annoyed with for myself for doing so because the come down is hard.

@Cruz86 yes :-(. I really was sure for the first time so I think I will take a bit of time off tracking because I feel like I have got myself a bit worked up over it. x

Marie93 · 24/09/2021 10:20

Aww @Cruz86 next month could be your month 🤞🏻
@FlyOnTheWall89 yeah I know what you mean about tracking it puts some much pressure on things, I’ve done both and I find I’m less stressed when I wasn’t tracking but then I’m like what if we don’t do it at the right place so I go through phases
@Mummytobe93 I remember coming of the pill it really did a number on me whilest it was re adjusting I got all sorts of symptoms, but I really hope you will get that BFP ☺️ y

Marie93 · 24/09/2021 10:24

I could just be imaging it but I feel like I have slight cramps today, I’m due on in about a week so maybe it’s that

Danani · 24/09/2021 11:27

AF is coming for me today, had some pink tint when I wiped this morning, which means that by tonight it will be in full swing.
October it is. 🤞🏻🍀

Mummytobe93 · 24/09/2021 11:34

@Danani I feel for you and for any of us who get the AF today, but the sooner it comes the sooner it ends and we’re off to a brand new cycle 🌸
I’ve got myself some primrose oil cause my CM could do with a boost.

Have a nice large glass of 🍷 tonight xx

Danani · 24/09/2021 11:47

Thank you @Mummytobe93! 🍷

Btw, for anyone who is a bit unlucky like me this month and wants to keep me company for next cycle, you can find me in the group Lucky October 🍀.

rita83 · 24/09/2021 12:38

Hya ladies. Sld I be worried by this. I am so paranoid because of my chemical I had last year at Xmas. The top test was done Wednesday evening around half 6 and I done another frer about an hour ago cos I am so paranoid. I don't want to be worrying all the time. Just want to be able to embrace this and enjoy it x
