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?!

@41andtryingforfirst @GoT1904 I'm dying to use my final FRER now. In the interest of comparing lines to the one I used on Tuesday. Like it's gonna magically be darker. Send help 😩

@MrsGrealish when is AF due?

@41andtryingforfirst 4 weeks from last lmp is Wednesday but I'm thinking Monday (I ovulated early)

In fact cancel that DH is coming home from work early..(don't wanna look too mental) and it's literally a waste at this stage😅 will hold off to Monday (or at least Sunday)

I'll pee on an OPK to satisfy my need😂

Ok @MrsGrealish I'm due Tues so let's both test Sun. I've only got one FRER left so I'll save it til then

@41andtryingforfirst deal!! My OPK test line was nice and dark so expecting either AF or positive 🙏 soon xx

@MrsGrealish marvellous it's a date! So I've just got in and def have quite a bit of creamy CM sorry tmi! Is this good? The cramps I felt yesterday and this morning have subsided now. Is that good? God I really don't know anything 🤦🏻‍♀️

@41andtryingforfirst yes this is good!! No such thing as TMI here 😅

@MrsGrealish phew! Ok that's good news. I can't believe I'm 41 and I never knew all these things about trying to get pregnant like the ins and outs of ovulation and fertilisation and implantation and lots of other words that end in "tion" 🤣🤣. I thought you just get drunk and bob's your uncle! Hollyoaks and Eastenders have a lot to answer for!!!!

@41andtryingforfirst don't they just! I'm back to feeling more positive my cramps have disappeared too and the digital I took has a higher hcg threshold (should have looked into this sooner🙄) xx

@MrsGrealish FRER is 6.5 ml I think. The IC I have are 10ml. I think clearblue is 25ml?

@41andtryingforfirst yep 25 and I was never making that so early 😅 I'm an idiot🤦‍♀️

I’m on day 29 of my cycle now and yesterday should have been the first day of my period. I’m usually either early or bang on (I use the Flo app as a cycle tracker) my predicted first day of my period and still nothing. I did a test today and it’s a strong negative so I’ve decided to wait for a few more days and if I’ve still not had a period then I’ll test again. I think I’ve joined the Knicker Checkers anonymous at any sign of “dampness” 😂 it’s becoming borderline obsessive 😂#tryingnottogetmyhopesup

I made it through the day without af starting properly! Although there is quite a lot of bright red blood after I poop. Worried I have low progesterone as I'm only 11dpo and if this isn't my bfp cycle also would mean the spotting at 7dpo was af related which surely is a problem. I know a few of you have mentioned having low progesterone and wondering how you have all dealt with it? Do I need to see the Dr? I need to book a blood test with them but if there's any remedies I can do myself in the meantime I'd definitely be up for that! X

Oh I'm joining that club today @PositivelyPrehistoricMom! I'm so paranoid that everytime I feel 'damp' AF has shown up and this is all in my head.

Fingers crossed there's a good reason AF hasn't shown for you 🤞💜

@Rosegold3112 Vitamin C, a high dose of atleast 750mg your entire cycle. Do some online research it's proven to increase progesterone 👍 x

@PositivelyPrehistoricMom Knicker Checkers anonymous!!! Love it!!! 😂🤣😂🤣

@Rosegold3112 I'm in a similar situation but don't have any advice as it's new to me (this cycle I started to spot at 9dpo and AF arrived the day after), but I have an appointment with my GP on Wednesday for that, so I can let you know what he will say. I'm starting to take some vitamin C in the meantime in addition to Pregnacare.

I'm a proud and supporting member of knicker checkers anonymous 😂😂😂

Seeing some good symptoms here!

How strange @rosegold3112 is this usual for you starting AF?? I hope it stops!!

DP bought me some clearblue bless his heart, completely unprompted! But I checked and they're 25mui.. the kicker is, they reckon -4 days before AF, 53% of pregnant women would get a +! But I know from researching online that can't be true?! Not that many. Xxx

@41andtryingforfirst I just scrolled down through the messages and saw you were concerned about vaping. I had to remove my vape from my hand to type this 😂

@Rosegold3112 I think you can do a progesterone check at home through medichek. I'm too much of a wimp to try this but I've read others do it and get results back quickly. I don't know if this helps coming up to a bank holiday weekend though xx

@GoT1904 bless him! That's so sweet ❤️

@GoT1904 ah that's so lovely. Not sure my husband who know where to start or what to buy!!

@MrsGrealish that's good to know that there's a fellow vaper on here! Are you concerned about it at all? I read so many things online that contradict each other. But with no wine or coffee I bloody need something to keep me calm!

@41andtryingforfirst nope. It's keeping me sane atm! Mind the sweet flavour is turning me a bit🤢

@MrsGrealish hmmm that sounds like a good sign?!

My husband is very sweet. He knew I was down about the BFN and made me comfort food

@41andtryingforfirst soo lovely 🥰 ffs my DH went to Tesco there and asked if I wanted wine. Eh no?
