@Peonies94 I know what you mean! I have lost most of my AF symptoms now except the sore boobs. Still no AF and still BFNs 😭

Effram · 21/10/2021 06:27

It is faint but there.... Feel more nervous today than yesterday when it just felt completely unreal.

I have a FRER but going to save it for tomorrow/Saturday...

Danani · 21/10/2021 06:58

@Effram I can see it!! Fingers crossed it gets darker today/tomorrow! I have a good feeling for you hun! How many DPO are you today? Probably still quite early hence the faintness πŸ€žπŸ»πŸ€

I can see it!! Exciting! It looks very similar to mine, mine was just the same as last nights - but still positive! I also have a frer to use over the weekend! How many dpo are you? Im 3 days of missed AF now; not too sure on dpo.

Good luck to the others testing this morning. Sending lots of baby dust ✨

Danani · 21/10/2021 08:07

@Missy95 ahhh so excited for you! Your test looked very very promising last night!! 🀞🏻🀞🏻🀞🏻

Good morning all β˜€οΈ

How’s everyone else doing this fine rainy, gloomy, windy morning πŸ˜„

11/12 DPO for me and same old same old. Nothing to report, it is actually boring. The only thing different is that my temp is up again today, but I’m not reading into it because as we’ve already established I cannot be trusted with a thermometer. πŸ˜¬πŸ˜‚
I have tentatively joined the Nov crew because I just feel like I’m out (I know, I know - not until AF arrives) but not long to wait now - according to my apps AF should be here Sat or Sun. I was thinking of testing tomorrow and I still might, but if I don’t have a massive urge might just wait it out. πŸ€·πŸ»β€β™€οΈ

There’s 10 days left of October and I hope to see a lot more BFPs in here, ladies. #nopressure

Morning,

I self indulged and did a FRER test even though I know I need to wait! I blame having two in the packet as makes it so tempting to test early!

I don’t know if I just had line eyes but I thought I could see a second line, then got annoyed and threw it in the outside bin. Partly in disgust with myself for testing so early πŸ˜‚.

So I’m now going to test first thing Saturday (I’ll be 9/10DPO), but not positive it’ll be a BFP.

FlyOnTheWall89 · 21/10/2021 09:02

@Danani I am the same as you. CD29 now. Cycles varies between 29 and 32. Most common day for AF is 31. Will try to wait until Sunday to be really sure but zero symptoms so would be very surprised. x

Dobcaty · 21/10/2021 09:05

@Danani you're sooo calm, it's really a willpower πŸ™‚ I cannot wait tomorrow morning and I have a very good feeling about you

@FlyOnTheWall89 how are you this morning?

I still have nothing to report, had a fantastic night out with DH yesterday, but obv no agreement what we do next. πŸ€·πŸ»β€β™€οΈ We'll see what the weekend brings 🀞

How is everyone else this morning?

I tried 😭 15 DPO, AF 1 day late.

Danani · 21/10/2021 09:49

Arghhhh @Squiff70 what is going on? 😩
So, good news AF hasn’t arrived and is late! Bad news, BFN. But but I have seen on here a lot of people get their BFPs later on! It happens!!! Like a full week after AF was due! It’s wild, but every body is so different! Do not lose hope!

@Dobcaty, ahh I wish this was calm. I’m just a bit deflated, I got a BFN the other day, that coupled with zero symptoms makes me think AF is 99% on the way. I just want to save myself the disappointment of confirming this earlier than I have to.

@FlyOnTheWall89 love that we’re in sync! How are you feeling today? 🀞🏻

@Firsttimetrier I would not be surprised at all if you get your BFP first try! πŸ˜„ fingers crossed it’s confirmed on the weekend!!! 🀞🏻🀞🏻🀞🏻

@Firsttimetrier I admire your self control in putting it in the outside bin to avoid analysing it in different lights - I am excited for your next test as it sounds promising!!

@Danani and @FlyOnTheWall89 I am impressed at your self restraint

@Squiff70 I'm sorry - so frustrating! Not to give excessive false hope, but I have had mainly good experience with those tests except with my second son it showed up on a FRER but not one of those the day my period was due... so if period stays away might be worth trying another just to see?!

I am feeling lots of tugging pulling cramps and trying to trust in my body what will be will be. Hope it's not a chemical. I think I am 10-11DPO but natural cycles says 9... Period due Sunday, I think, so will just focus on getting to there!

FlyOnTheWall89 · 21/10/2021 09:58

@Dobcaty @Danani So I don't feel pre-menstrual at all (yet). I don't have any bloating which I would usually get but if this is a 32 day cycle, maybe it is too early for that. Only thing to do is be distracted and wait it out. I don't want to test. It is too disappointing.

Danani · 21/10/2021 10:00

@FlyOnTheWall89, sounds very promising. I have all of my fingers crossed the witch stays away and this is your lucky month!!!

@Cruz86 just saw this on the other thread YAYYYYYYY!

i123i · 21/10/2021 10:12

@Effram - thanks for the update. I’m keeping everything crossed for you!! I would really try to hold out testing now until af is due but know that’s a real struggle!!

@Danani - you never know with the temperature!! No symptoms early in pregnancy can happen too (and same to @FlyOnTheWall89) . A couple of my pregnant friends had zero symptoms for the first few weeks. Hope it’s a lucky October for both you πŸ€

@Firsttimetrier - well done on not over analysing and throwing the test out πŸ™ŒπŸ½ πŸ˜† . Fingers crossed for the next one.

@Squiff70 - sorry about the BFN, but you’re not out until af comes!! πŸ™πŸ»

Still 10 days of October left 🌟

i123i · 21/10/2021 10:13

@Cruz86 OMG!!! Woooo! How many dpo are you again?!?

Dobcaty · 21/10/2021 10:16

Aw @Cruz86 congrats!! Amazing x

Cruz86 · 21/10/2021 10:19

I am so shocked. And so nervous because of my spotting 😩 Didn't have this with my first. I'll tentatively say thank you πŸ˜‚β˜ΊοΈβ˜ΊοΈ I'm 10dpo @i123i. Had negatives up until yesterday afternoon.

Squiff70 · 21/10/2021 10:21

Thanks both. I've lost all hope for this cycle now. Just waiting for AF to start then I can move on.

I still have very high hopes for you ladies and am watching your updates for more good news!
