@natgee I guess technically you have won!! Congrats 🤪

sorry to hear AF came but I dare say I’ll be seeing you on June thread. AF is due tomorrow and I’ll prob test then with a cheapie but I already think I’m out, I have no symptoms at all!

@Nypie sorry blame me 😂. Camembert is definitely one of the positives of a BFN! I've been enjoying a few brie and cucumber bagels lately too and have realised they're out as well come the time 🤦‍♀️

@NatGee sorry to hear that, am happy to consider you winner!

CD32 still no AF yet. My food is still tasting funny. Just had a coffee and again didn't taste right. I'm starting to entertain the idea that maybe it has worked? Watch AF start tonight now I've said that..

Am trying to remember what it was like before but honestly I'm useless. The things that stick out for me most were the funny taste, really sore boobs, completely going off coffee which I usually lap up and crazy intense sense of smell. I feel incredibly bloated and thought I had uterus twinges and back ache like AF though. I literally can't remember any of that from before..

*sorry this is also mostly food related 😅

Just FYI, you can eat baked camembert when pregnant, it just has to be cooked through and piping hot 😉

Ohh @Nichelette I've just devoured a whole camembert with crusty bread feeling sick as a dog but was absolutely delicious!
🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞Has AF date alredy past??

Can anyone help? These are cb digital opks. I've had flashing smiley for 4 days, ewcm is much less and almost stopped now, ovulation pains seem to have stopped now too and I usually get my peak static face on the last day of ovulation pains without fail. I'm thinking I've missed my peak?

I'm not too sure on order as I wasn't planning on keeping them but the bottom one is today's so I've just lined the rest up according to darkness of lines. First 2 days were non fertile days

@RugbyGirl1 Now you say it I remember that actually, though I was always too scared to actually do it 😅

@Nypie don't blame you, so tasty! My last cycle was 31 days so only really estimating based on that. Apps with my data say I've been due for days, but for a long time my cycle was quite a solid 28 days so I think that's skewing it. Planning on leaving it until Tuesday unless AF arrives before then.

Hi @Babydust99 as far as I'm aware, the lines on the CB digital OPKs don't really mean anything and shouldn't be used to judge impending ovulation (unlike the cheapie OPKs) as they measure two hormones. You may well get your peak tomorrow. Do you supplement with cheapie OPKs?

@RugbyGirl1 no I don't but I've just went and got some for tomorrow as I feel like I've already ovulated. I feel it so badly I have to take strong pain relief just to be able to stand upright so there's no mistaking it. It's just so strange

@Nichelette sounds promising! 🤞🤞🤞🤞

@Babydust99 hear it from a day23 girl, keep testing!
don’t look at lines on digital, they mean different things

Thanks @anotherscroller I bought some ordinary opks. I feel like I've ovulated so think I just missed the peak but will see what it says in the morning

Good luck @Nichelette ! And well done for holding off for so long.
The app seems to think af is due on Tuesday for me but currently on cd32 which would make it quite a long cycle. Very slim chances after bfn on 12dpo but we shall see 💭 already looking to next month!

9dpo and the urge to test is strong!! All my apps say AF due Sunday which would be 31 day cycle I am usually 28 days bang on but last month AF was three days late (chemical pregnancy 😔) so I might start testing on Thursday which would be 12DPO. I have two frers and a digital and I'd reallllyyy like to not buy any more this month! Congrats on all the positives, this thread is a lucky one 🤞🏻

Negative opk today so think I definitely missed my peak

Tested yesterday when AF was due - BFN. I had cramps Saturday night and last night like I was getting AF, but nothing! Every third month my cycle switches from 25 days to 28/29 days, so maybe that's the case this month. Normally I don't get any cramps or period pain, but my iron had been low. This is probably the first month where my iron is back up, so maybe that's related? I do think I'm out for this month, now I'm worried that I won't get AF and maybe I am in peri menopause (previous high FSH) and maybe by baby making days are done. Arrrrggghhhh! Then there's the illogical part of my brain saying, well maybe you did ovulate later, and you're testing early! 😩 I think this is how madness starts!!

Baby dust to all!!

BFN this morning on an easy @ home (13dpo).

I'm just absolutely gutted.

@LucyLoopyLu

It's just rubbish isn't it. You have my sympathy. Have you been trying long?

It's not over until AF gets here, and if and when she does, just focus on next month.

I think I'm going to start temperature tracking.

Thanks @SidSparrow
This was cycle 5.

@LucyLoopyLu It took me about 9 cycles before I conceived DD1. Still early days for you. Are you tracking? I've only just started doing OPK tests and paying attention to CM.

@Orangesaretheonly fingers crossed for you and the others still due to test

@SidSparrow sorry you got bfn but as you say maybe you ovulated later and it's too early. Give it a few more days.

@SidSparrow yes I've been doing OPKs except for cycle 1. I'm not sure about BBT as I'm not sure I can manage to do it at the same time every morning, and I'm not sure having something else to obsess over is a good idea. I'm not ruling out giving it a go though.

Thanks for the support

So AF is 2 days late. When should I test? Had BFN a few days ago already and don't want to be too hopeful.

@Amelia231 it's so hard to decide isn't it? I would try to make myself wait a couple more days but I know that's easier said than done.

I'm 10DPO and have felt nauseous on and off (those horrible hot and bothered waves of being right on the edge of throwing up bleurgh) for a few days now which is very unusual for me.

Tempted to early test later today but I know 10DPO is probably too early and if it's a BFN I'll get myself upset, so going to try and wait until AF is due 4/5 days from now.

@Amelia231 you have far more willpower than me, as I would be testing round the clock if AF was late! Fingers crossed for good news 🤞🏻
