Who’s in their fertile window now?

[CZ9294]

I had my first flashing smile yesterday but didn’t dtd. I’m not feeling well as I have an awful cold…but really need to find the energy tonight!

My period will be due around 11th Jan. could be before or after as my cycle lengths vary by a few days.

Let’s keep each other company!

CD28 For me. I think 8 poss 10DPO I don't do tests/ temp etc ... but cycles can be anywhere from 28-34 (occ.... 34+) so AF could come anytime between now and Monday 15th.
Going to try and hold off testing if AF has not shown by 17th so the TWW for me is normally more like a 16day wait ... already feels like it's dragging and got over a week to wait until testing 🙈

Good luck to all. 🤞 for lots of BFPs xx

@SillyOldBear3 your symptoms sound very promising! I didn’t get a positive on 9dpo but I did on 10 so don’t be too disheartened. Good luck to the others who are testing in the next few days, really hope we get some more good news! 🤞🏻Xx

@CAA121 yeah I agree my cycles have definitely been so much worse since I started tracking / TTC. Maybe it's the stress of it all, wondering if I just have to stop with it all and just DTD every other day.

I'm 6dpo today and my spotting has come back and drop in BBT as well so defs think I'm out. Exact same dpo that my temp dropped/spotting came last month and that ended in a BFN. Sad my luteal phase just seems to be getting worse. Every time I go toilet I have the fear of seeing spotting. Think I will try to get some tests in feb and maybe try preseed as I don't have much EWCM. Anyone else use that?

Is anyone else obsessed with wanting to test now? I think I’m 10dpo, and can’t stop thinking about testing! Do I wait another day? Do I act crazy and buy another frer on my dinner break? Honestly the TWW is awful 😖

@Piglet34 aw sorry to hear you’re spotting too. It’s so frustrating isn’t it and not being able to understand why. I keep hoping it’s something to do with implantation but maybe not sticking 🤷‍♀️ I’ve been keeping a diary of my symptoms to hopefully discuss with a fertility clinic (if needed) in the future to see if they can make any sense of it. Have you had any blood tests from GP yet? I’d recommend going if you haven’t already. I have started to used preseed this last cycle as similarly to you have little EWCM and hoping it will help 🤞 good luck

@Anon2822 be crazy! Hehe. I have come across others that have had faint lines at 10 DPO so you never know. If negative at least you know it may be too early yet and to try again in another couple of days. Good luck 🤞

@Anon2822 thank you! Good to know x

Congratulations on the positives lovely 😘 interesting the home bargains one is negative, this is the brand I used at 9dpo and got a negative. I wonder if they aren’t as sensitive as they suggest x

@Anon2822 yeah the home bargains one is weird, it actually turned positive 2 mins after I snapped that photo but it claims to be early detection- strange! I would say avoid these. I always trust clearblue tbh, I got my digital 1-2 weeks on clearblue yesterday, I’m due AF around 11th/12th so will do another then. Still not feeling much but I have been super tired last two days .

do you have cheapy strips? Could always do one of them just to satisfy the urge to test lol. Crossing my fingers for you xx

I’m 10DPO and Tested with a cheap strip test just now which was a BFN so not going to test now until 14DPO or AF shows 😖 feel like my lucks out this month now

Oh no sorry @Anon2822 you are still very early though but I know it’s disappointing 🥺 xx

@Anon2822 fingers crossed its just a bit too early! Know its disappointing though seeing a BFN ❤️

7dpo here, already tested yesterday and today because I'm a glutton for punishment and obviously nothing there 🤣🙃 boob pain is really ramping up but that's fairly normal for me but I do feel headachey and shattered but it could just be because it's Monday!

Sorry @Anon2822 but hang in there and test in 2 days :) I got my last BFP on DPO 11:)

I'm 7DPO too @Endogal but no symptoms my side :( going to try and wait until sat to test which will be 12DPO. I've a 31 day cycle so not due for a week

Sorry those of you who have got BFNs so far, hopefully just early days!!

I'm going to try and hold out until at least 12dpo (Thursday) or Friday if I can. Boobs seem to be getting less sore so not a great sign!!

I’ve just taken a digital clear blue early results which suggests you can test up to 6 days before your period is due and it’s negative. Think I’m out 😓

@ExcitedandNervousC1 it's going to be a loooong week for us isn't it 😭 I admire your willpower to wait until Saturday! I'm not taking the boob pain as a possible symptom tbf I literally always have it for about a week before AF, absolute worst as a front sleeper 🙃

@Anon2822 digitals often have a higher threshold even if they say they're early! When I had my chemicals I had positives on 5 other brands but a negative early digital. This website is something I've found really useful, it shows that at 10dpo it's about 1/3 chance of being negative if pregnant which isn't a tiny chance!

@CAA121 yeah it really is rubbish, I am also keeping super track of all symptoms, have a weird feeling deep down it might be endo as a doctor mentioned it to me ages ago but nothing was done, probably so long to get a referral for that! Thanks though I might book in for bloods at least. Did your AF ever come back properly this cycle?

@Anon2822 I’d say you’re not out yet 🤞those tests can detect 6 days early but nowhere near the 99% accuracy rate of the day after a missed AF. Soo hopefully the little one implanted a little later and you still have a few days of getting enough of the hormones to show on a test 🤞 my fingers are crossed for you

@Piglet34 interesting you mention endo. I’m currently on a waiting list for a laparoscopy to confirm endo, I have had horrendously painful periods since they started. We sound like two peas in a pod! I have been complaining about my periods to GPS since I was 15 and they spent years giving me NSAIDs and the pill. It wasn’t until an ultra sound scan found polyps that I was referred to gynaecology in 2018 and my consultant there then took my symptoms of endometriosis seriously but it has been a battle to get a laparoscopy. The good news is, there is still a chance you can conceive naturally 🤞 I keep holding on to the % success rates of endo. If you ever want to private message me about it in future please feel welcome too 🙂 good luck on your journey 🍀 x

I must admit I do usually spot brown for a few days which gets progressively heavier until my AF shows. This month has been so bizarre, I now haven’t had any discharge since Saturday morning. Was my morning of mild cramps and red watery discharge my AF? 🤯 can AF be that short? I took a test this morning 12DPO and negative. Totally confused by this months symptoms 😅 I have never in my life missed AF before and they’re usually heavy 🤔

Good luck to everyone still to test 🤞🤞 hoping we get some more BFPs on this thread 🤞

Hello ladies!

I hope everyone is well! 8dpo today and I’m trying to resist the urge to test as I know it’s basically pointless at this stage.

I’ve had cramping last night and some this morning. It’s probably my period…

i just want to know for now, for definite - either way.

Thanks everybody, I’m going to wait until tomorrow and test again to see if anything’s changed. My son is six years old and was conceived without much trying so never had all this waiting and stress 🥲 so much for trying being fun eh 😂🫠

8DPO for me today! Trying not to buy a test until Friday to use Sat (12DPO)

@Anon2822 Good luck, it could just be too early for you at the moment!

Thanks @WilllowStar I'm 10dpo and still just getting a very faint and thin line when tests are dry (I've done 3 and they've all dried like this). It's strange because I've used loads from this batch and all others have dried with no hint of a line. Going to do another cheapie late afternoon, as that's when I got 1st BFP last month..

I'm still so tired, sore boobs and occasional cramps.Convinced I'm PG again but another part of me think perhaps I'm just delusional and want it so much that I'm imagining my symptoms 😩

Good luck with the testing everyone 🤞

I'm gonna try and hold out testing until my period is due/missed. With my 10 day LP I'm due by Thursday, I stupidly did a test on 7DPO which was ridiculous and I'm annoyed at myself lol. So I'm gonna wait til it's due/the morning after if I can...

@SillyOldBear3 have you got any FRERs you can try?

Keeping fingers crossed for you @SillyOldBear3 !!

Aw thanks @ExcitedandNervousC1 I must have done about 10 cheapies in the past 2 days 😩

@lemonyfox I have one FRER which I'm pretending isn't there 😂 but if no sign of AF by Thursday I will use it..
I also tested 7dpo, why do we do this to ourselves!!! It does kind of get rid of the urge though 🙈
