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?!

Hey everyone, congratulations on the BFP 🌈🌈
Sorry for everyone who hasn't got one 😞
I think I'm definitely out this month now too, really gutted as I had symptoms and convinced myself this was my month. Today I have BFN with FRER and AF due on Monday so I'd say I am definitely out

@Rosegold3112 I can completely relate to what you say: my due date for my first pregnancy/miscarriage was the 2nd of May, and I was really hoping I would be pregnant by then 😓 My due date for the second one was 17th of July, now I hope it will be before that... I'm worried as well my body is not working properly since the losses. Are you still spotting or has it stopped?

@ArcEnCiel2022 sending you so much baby dust to get that bfp before July ❤️ that rainbow baby is on its way to us! We've just got to be patient but it's so damn hard 😔
My spotting is all over the place. It got heavy on weds/Thurs so I put a pad on but it didn't go on the pad at all, only when I wiped. Went back to the faintest of pinks occasionally yesterday so I had hope but then there have been some small clots/blood stained discharge? I'm not really sure what it is, and then today it's heavy again. Wondering if it's actually starting now. It's so messed up I really don't understand.

Hello!
Congratulations everyone on your BFP! 💕 @Graceybaby I remember you from another thread- amazing news! 🥰
So at 11/12dpo AF came 4 days early. Only a 23 day cycle which seems odd?! Feel gutted but relieved I can look forward to a new cycle. Feel like I’m learning so much from all the tips and comments so will hopefully stand me in better stead 😊

@TSunshine Hey!! Thank you so much 💖 im still in abit of shock tbh! Can't believe it happened so quickly.

Hoping this next cycle is the one for you! 🤞💜 Xxx

@Sarahmayo as someone said to me you’re not out until AF comes to the party! I tested negative until this morning which was 1 day past when AF due. It was a loooong 30 day cycle though! Stay positive and I’ll keep everything crossed for you and everyone who is still waiting x

Thanks so much @Graceybaby 🥰

Oh wow @PositivelyPrehistoricMom! So exciting! So @Sarahmayo you’ve still got time! 😊 xx

For those of you who have been disappointed this month, I'm really sorry. Open a bottle of wine or pour yourself a gin - you deserve it! I'm sure I'll be joining you soon.

For those of you who have got your BFPs - many congratulations and best wishes to you.

I've decided I am going to try and hold off from early testing next cycle - it's putting too much pressure on me. I think im just going to wait and not test until I am late. Nature is a cruel thing with all these symptoms and it's doing my head in x

@PositivelyPrehistoricMom I think it was actually me who said that to you haha! Massive congratulations I'm really happy for you. I just feel like my AF is on the way now and don't feel pregnant at all but you are right, not out until AF arrives

@TSunshine thank you, I'm trying not to lose all hope but I don't feel it anymore

@Sarahmayo haha! Yeah but we’re rubbish at listening to our own advice though! Keeping everything crossed for you. I genuinely thought yesterday that that was it for me. Today it’s been a complete turnaround xx

@PositivelyPrehistoricMom that's a good point 🤣. Massive congratulations, I'm so pleased for you 🌈🌈

@MrsGrealish did you do your FRER? Just did mine - BFN on FRER. I'm 13 dpo so thinking I'm out now. FX for you x

@41andtryingforfirst no need for FRER. AF started late last night 😞

@MrsGrealish ah I'm sorry to hear that. Roll on to the next cycle xx

Congratulations @PositivelyPrehistoricMom !! Wonderful news for you 🥰

Sounds like a lot of you ladies have had an early Easter gift of AF the same as me 🙃 is it possible to sync cycles with people over a forum? 🤣

So happy for all the BFPs, and here's to 2023 babies for the rest of us 🥂

I've bought some cheeky lingerie ready to tempt OH at the right time of the month 😆 and I am not going to test until AF is late next time!!

Aww sorry @MrsGrealish. We're here for next cycle though. ❤

I'm CD3 now and holding so much water!! Can't wait for it to stop and get back to TTC. 😂😂

I've no idea what my cycle will be this time. This is 2nd cycle since coming off the pill. My first cycle was 22 days! With a 10 day luteal phase. Pre-pill I was 31 days with a 14 day LP.

Sooooo last cycle I O'd on CD11. I'm not testing for O this cycle.. I'm just gonna keep an eye on Ov symptoms and DTD every other day. I'll probably test around CD30 if I get that far without AF. So 27 days :)) xxx

@GoT1904 I'm heading to Greece in 3 weeks getting excited about that! Time to start holiday shopping xx not checking OPKs either this month. I think I know my cycle well enough xx

@Rosegold3112 Thank you! I hope our time will come soon ❤️🌈 Has AF started properly finally?

@MrsGrealish Sorry to hear 💞 I'm jealous of your holidays in Greece 😍 I'm going to France and Spain in June, I can't wait!

CD5 for me and AF finally stopped! It seems a few of us are starting a new cycle these days! I will do OPK this month again to check how long is my luteal phase, so I will probably start testing on Wednesday, CD8 (last month I had my peak CD14). But then I will try to wait AF and will test only if she's late.

@ArcEnCiel2022 thanks lovely xx I did have high hopes for a bit but sadly not meant to be 💕 gonna try and relax this month and not obsess (which I am prone to) and see if it helps

Hope we all keep in touch though ❤️

@ArcEnCiel2022 yup, af is officially here. Funnily enough the witch came yesterday not long after I'd posted here and although I'm not cramping I feel sore and heavy in my lower regions. Trying to be optimistic and remind myself this cycle has at least been normal length for me. Hopefully next cycle will be the same! Weary of using opks just cos the cycle before was 50 days and its relentless testing all that time. I'm CD 2 so not far behind you! Although I think I'm going to wait until cd12 to start testing this time round. I'm going to be a bit more focused on temping this time too. Good luck!

So after the elation of Saturday I took a digital test yesterday and got the little word I wanted but late yesterday every time I went to the loo and wiped there was a light brown discharge on the paper. Bit more stringy today and I’ve popped a pad on but it is only when I wipe. I’ve consulted dr google (🤦🏻‍♀️) and it seems that at 4 weeks it could be old period blood or implantation bleeding but of course after losing the last one and taking so long as I was so scared to try again I’m terrified this will end in another m/c. I don’t feel as queasy but I am exhausted (I’m also full of a cold and can’t breathe through my nose which doesn’t help at night to sleep)
Anyone experienced this before and have any words of advice? Am I worrying unnecessarily? I hate that it’s bank holiday I’ve got to wait until tomorrow to ring my GP and hopefully speak to them about it. Thanks for listening x

@PositivelyPrehistoricMom sorry you're worried. With my DD I had implantation bleeding before my bfp but then again at 5 or 6 weeks I had more. Can't remember it exactly - I know it was only there when I wiped and I think it was more on the red side than brown but I do remember the panic and my heart sinking. I phoned 111 and my gp but because it was so early there was nothing they could say or do, just to wait it out and go A&E if bleeding got heavy and accompanied by pain. It was nothing, stopped on its own and apparently is actually extremely common to spot early on. I'd advise you just to take it easy, get lots of rest and try not to worry about it too much (easier said than done!) I'm sure it's all OK. Remember your cervix will be really sensitive now and bleed more easily so dtd can cause bleeding, as well as going for a poo. For me mine was after a walk up a big hill and then a poop 😅

@PositivelyPrehistoricMom I have been having the same thing since last night, slightly pink/brown tinged discharge when I wipe.. only a little and nothing major so not worrying too much ATM.. It is scary and makes me feels so anxious but I have to just accept that what will be will be.. but I do know it's completely normal and could mean absolutely nothing. Hope you're ok💜 xxxx

@Rosegold3112 thank you for replying. This is such a lovely group and I felt really safe coming on here to ask this. I think if I hadn’t have miscarried before I might have just waited it out. It is literally only when I wipe but I know it’s far too early for a scan and for anyone like a doctor to actually do anything (other than check if my hcg is rising - but this is the nhs so if they don’t deem it essential right now nothing will get done) I’ll have to wait and see. I’ll just wait it out. Praying that it’s nothing and perfectly normal. I just wish we hadn’t left it so long as I know my age is against me too! X
