Anyone testing around April 19th? My 2ww is just starting.

[GoT1904]

Hi all! I'm currently 1dpo.. so officially in the last stage of this cycle! I should be due AF around April 19th, which happens to be my birthday! So I'm going to try really hard not to test until then. Anyone else around the same?!

@Sarahmayo, thanks just ordered 2 packs too!

Also i'm due on the 15th, as I have a short LP. I'm between 8-10dpo today, depending on what App I look at. I've been spotting brown stuff for a few days now and cramping on and off so think AF is due.

Sorry for all the BFNs 😞

I'm 9dpo and swore I wouldn't test today. Will see how long I can hold out

AF is definitely here for me 😭 I can believe how early she is, I'm only 10dpo, maybe 11, that would make my luteal phase 9 or 10 days, it's too short right? Since I track my ovulation my luteal phase was always 11-12 days, now I'm really worried something is wrong. Anyone experienced this? Any advice?

@ArcEnCiel2022 I'm going through the same thing. No advice as such, but I am about to submit my last few months of evidence to the GP as soon as AF is officially here. Last month was only 7 days for me! I don't usually count spotting as part of my flow, only when the bleeding starts properly.

@GeraniumCedarwood let me know how it goes for you. Yes, I don't count the spotting either, it would be even shorter if I was. I just booked an appointment with my GP for next Wednesday.
I've also had some spotting few days before ovulation which I never had before.

@ArcEnCiel2022 I'm sorry to hear this! I have no advice sorry, but I hope you can get some answers from GP. A couple of my cycles have been weird and I've always taken herbal remedies to help balance my hormones x

@MamaMorg01 thank you! What kind of herbal remedies did you take?

@ArcEnCiel2022 so Evening Primrose Oil worked quite well and Angus Castus I use too, which usually helps regulate everything, particularly the Luteal Phase. I'm no doctor but I can definitely say it's worked for me, maybe speak to GP about them? I bought both from Holland and Barrett so I also asked staff about them too!

@MamaMorg01 Thank you! I will have a look at that, I'm willing to try anything that could help.

@ArcEnCiel2022 no worries! Just realised autocorrect changed what I wrote😂 it's meant to say Agnus Castus

@Sarahmayo I'm due 18 April as well. Thinking 26 day cycle since I ovulated early. Thanks for the heads up on the FRERs !!

🤞🏻@MrsGrealish. Couldn't resist a FRER bargain
Sorry to hear anyone who is out this month, on the plus side you won't be giving birth at Christmas
I'm sure there will be more of us joining you too

I'm only 9dpo today so still ridiculously early. Same as you @MrsGrealish, I've some FRER arriving today, but don't know when. I resisted going to buy more. I need to switch off from it a bit today.

Awww I'm sorry for AF @ArcEnCiel2022 xxx

I know there's an image I've seen on other boards somewhere that contains info about what times to test on different DPO. Does anyone know which one I mean? I meant to screenshot it.

@GoT1904 it is too early to test. I keep holding on to that. I'm trying to put it out of my head today too. It's hard though when your boobs hurt every time you move. I'll try and find that @GeraniumCedarwood I had a look last night. It's defo on the countdown to pregnancy site somewhere

@ArcEnCiel2022 I used Agnus Castus when TTC my son to try and extend my LP and it messed my whole cycle up so I'd advice doing your research first ☺️ They say if your cycles are regular it best to avoid. I take a high dose of vitamin C and B6 to help with mine, yet to see what mine is this time round after the pill though.

Sorry to hear about the BFN’s but there’s still a chance until AF is in full swing!
I’m 9DPO and on 7DPO I had the sharpest little pain that lasted for half a second, made me jolt up! Since then my symptoms have all calmed down and not really got any symptoms at all now. Not sure if I should be worried about that at all, I’m TTC my first so this is all very new for me😊

@Graceybaby Thank you for letting me know I will ask first to my GP before I start taking something! My cycles were usually very regular 28 days, now with the shorter luteal phase recently they are 25-26 days, but still regular. I've spent the morning on Google (not good, I know...), and convinced myself I must have hypothyroidism, that could explain many things for me. I will ask to the real doctor what they think about my theory, it will be better than Google 😅

I can see a line in your picture @MrsGrealish!!

@Hjudge56 the FRER?

@Hjudge56 it's probably the biscuit crumb (no clue how it got there😂) catching your eye!

@MrsGrealish have you posted it here?

@GeraniumCedarwood yep late last night. Also on December baby thread we are both on x

Stark white BFN for me with FRER. At least for next cycle I know not to buy any until I want to use them lol.

Which FRER @MrsGrealish?! Xxx

@GoT1904 last night after you took your sneaky bathroom picture I posted my FRER. There's a random biscuit crumb on it nearly looks like I had biscuits for breakfast (would obviously never do such an unhealthy thing😂)
