12DPO and AF due today. BFN and no AF. I usually have 25 day cycles like clockwork but this month I ovulated later (which could be down to MC and/or having COVID in the same month)
I usually have very sore breasts before AF and spotting a couple of days before but haven’t had either. I have had a headache for the last couple of days and some cramping though which I do get sometimes before AF.
I ovulated later and it looks like my lutuel phase is going to be a little longer this month. I’m CD30 so I guess I just have to wait for AF!
No point to my post really other than this sucks!

Congrats to everyone with bfp. I'm out this month my early spotting turned into AF Sad

chasingtherainbow1 · 12/01/2022 16:20

@Purple29 I'm not surprised you were anxious! I very pregnancy is just so different isn't it. Thank you, I think sometimes I feel like I'm being a bit demanding 🙈 they have offered me a scan on 28th to see how things are going. Fingers crossed 🤞

Hopingforarainbow27 · 12/01/2022 16:31

Can someone make a new thread before we are locked out of this one?

lottieb92 · 12/01/2022 16:37

@Hopingforarainbow27 I would if I knew! Is there a new one yet?

BH1926 · 12/01/2022 16:47

@CJB92 I'm sorry to hear your news. Hope you are okay ❤️

@EmLouisexx @Hopingforarainbow27 @chasingtherainbow1 @jazmine38 congratulations!! 💕

[quote chasingtherainbow1]@Hopingforarainbow27 no I don't think you need to be on the injections. I'm on them because of a previous blood clot so it means I'm classed as high risk for a blood clot in pregnancy. I might ask about progesterone but it seems some places don't mind giving it out and others are dead against it until any bleeding happens.

@Decaffe my test was vv faint at 8DPO. It's really early to be getting a line at all. Could you take one today or tomorrow?
[/quote]
Ah, sorry I meant that my faint positives from a few days ago have since dried to a clear pink line that resemble the tests from my chemical. I am 14dpo now and have been negative for the past four days. Weirdly I have had zero spotting (literally unheard of) and my BBT is still high, so sadly I’m concluding another chemical is on the Sadway.

@Hopingforarainbow27 @chasingtherainbow1 Congratulations❤️
I got my BFP yesterday after 2 losses and have a GP appointment tomorrow. I have seen online that some people get high dose folic acid, low dose aspirin and progesterone. I'm not sure what to ask my doctor so any advice would be appreciated Is it a good idea to ring the EPU? Im terrified at the moment and so so worried. Xx

SkaterChick · 12/01/2022 16:55

@Hopingforarainbow27 congratulations! I hope all goes well for you

Congratulations to everyone else on your bfp too!

madeleine85 · 12/01/2022 17:03

@Hopingforarainbow27 @chasingtherainbow1 @jazmine38 and @EmLouisexx CONGRATULATIONS!!!! What amazing, lovely news. Hoping for sticky beans for all of you x

@AmberRH1993 keep testing, it looks like you are on the upswing and your ovulation day will be right around now, good luck!

Heading for my scan now, hoping it is ok, but if it isn't I can't change it and i'm just going to have to accept what comes up. I know I have a lovely group of ladies TTC to talk to if we end up back here again, and that really does make it that little bit better, so thank you all for being here for the last few months through to now, your support for everyone has been incredible x

chasingtherainbow1 · 12/01/2022 17:11

Thanks everyone ❤️

@Decaffe apologies, let us know how you get on!

@EmLouisexx the EPU just said I should be fine on normal folic acid and no progesterone unless I get a bleed. Weird how different it is everywhere. Sorry for your previous losses. Seems there's a few of us on the exact same circumstances!

chasingtherainbow1 · 12/01/2022 17:12

@EmLouisexx also I think I only got in at the EPU because I needed injections prescribing. But I think if you express your anxiety to the GP, they can refer you for an early scan at the EPU at 6 weeks

kizzy97 · 12/01/2022 17:18

Well I'm out BFN, so just wait for AF and then onto the next cycle

Tinkerbell098 · 12/01/2022 17:20

@kizzy97 sorry to hear. How long did you hold for? Probably too dilute to be picked up this early? Don’t lose hope! Fingers crossed for you xx

Hopingforarainbow27 · 12/01/2022 17:30

@EmLouisexx I was prescribed 5mg folic acid and the cyclogest (progesterone) and I have just took the aspirin myself as apparently it can do no harm it's only 75mg

Will tag folks in when I get a chance but please join!

AmberRH1993 · 12/01/2022 18:47

@madeleine85 thanks I will test this evening and tomorrow around 11am. First time using Opks so its definitely good to know my body is doing something. Hope your scan goes well... We're all rooting for you☺️

CJB92 · 12/01/2022 19:26

Hi ladies, thank you for the well wishes, I felt really down yesterday and was in tears most the evening, but today feeling slightly better.
I have been doing opks which for over a week now have been "high" dark but not positive. They are the cheap strips. One step I believe. Anyway today I felt they got lighter but I haven't ovulated yet. Hoping there is still time, just wondering if anyone has experienced not ovulating after a chemical? Was hoping I'd be more fertile so have been dtd regular but now worried I haven't even ovulated.
Congratulations to all the bfps x

ERachD · 12/01/2022 19:40

@BH1926

Hey! Our flow calendars are the same! How are you doing with the wait? Xx
Rebeccalin · 12/01/2022 20:01

Can I join? I "think" I'm 11dpo and this was my test today. If you squint... maybe there's something....but I don't think so. Is it too late for me?

Definitely not out yet! I'm also 11dpo and very solid negatives but unless af shows up I'm remaining hopeful :) some ladies don't test positive until a few days late xx
