AF has arrived so I'm officially out! 1 day early as not due till tomorrow, but I guess that's a good thing as it's a new start all the sooner. Good luck ladies ❤️

Aw I’m sorry to hear that! Onward to next month 🙂❤️

Having horrendous mood swings. Just had a big argument with husband. I'm 2 days away from af. Wondering if I should just test now, can you test in evening 2 days early? It may just be af arriving for the mood swing but it's not like me.

I would probably use one of the 5 or 6 days early tests, for more certainty. Keep us posted!

Suddenly87 · 15/02/2024 20:18

Sorry to the ones who have BFN's and hoping for more luck next ❤, update from me, very AF like niggles and cramping, did a Clearblue digital test today which was a BFN (apparently only around 60 percent accurate when done 5 days before) but I'm still hoping as still another 4-5 days to go until AF appears. All typical symptoms of AF but then again I keep reading this can be similar to early pregnancy symptoms... Also went for a walk earlier and kept feeling lightheaded... I'm still hoping until I see AF making an appearance.. 🙄

Choc29 · 15/02/2024 20:49

Got a BFN just now but I am 2 days early for test and tested in evening so there's still a chance. X

I’m out this month, light period when I wipe has started this morning. Think i definitely need to speak to a doctor about the short luteal phase the app says I have

Sorry to hear that. I’m exactly the same at 9dpo. This happens to me every month and I get my hopes up that it’s implantation bleeding 😔 I find it so hard to decide if it’s ’spotting’ or full on AF as it’s somewhere in between.

I’m waiting for the results of a progesterone test.

Choc29 · 18/02/2024 12:32

BFN again this morning. Still no sign of AF. But not unusual for her to turn up a day or so late. X

Suddenly87 · 19/02/2024 12:23

Keeping fingers crossed for you @Choc29

Unfortunately AF made her appearance for me yesterday right on the dot so I'm out this month. Not sure why I kept having cramping for two weeks though, perhaps it was just that I was more aware of my body than before as this was first cycle ttc. Anyway in to the next cycle and trying it all over again after AF is over

Choc29 · 19/02/2024 20:02

I think AF may have just arrived 🥺. Very light and 3 days late. Ttc month 3 here we go. X

It's still not here!! I thought it was but was just the lightest spot ever not even sure if it was spotting and now absolutely nothing. Negative test still and took an early response this morning. What's going on! 4 days late. Has anyone else been pregnant and not shown on any tests.

Brianna4kd · 23/02/2024 09:00

hi everyone, I just wanted to check in and see how everyone is doing. Sorry to those that have gotten bfn. I truly hope that everyone can get their bfp by the end of March at least. I know this journey can be very overwhelming but please don’t give up.

purplecolouroffunk · 23/02/2024 09:56

Hi @Brianna4kd! How are you doing?

I'm currently at 16dpo and I'm too nervous to test 😅

I've had my usual spotting from about 6dpo and it's been pretty light but hasn't stopped really at all this month. AF 'proper' I think was due yesterday, but it's hard to tell because for a long time I was marking my spotting as real AF and annoyingly I haven't marked when the heavier 'real' flow starts in most previous months (was yesterday according to last month). But how can all that spotting be good for a BFP? Although I have read a few positive stories.

The only reason I was holding onto hope this month was because I've been feeling queasy, had stuffy nose/sore throat, by boobs feel sore in a different way (actually way less sore than usual), have had lots of ovary twinges, I've been starving after I've just eaten, my spotting has been lighter, my temp has stayed high and still is, by RHR has steadily gone up.

ANYWAY, I feel so sure AF is going to turn up, that I think I'll just wait for her. It feels like a softer blow somehow than getting a BFN at 16dpo, which would be pretty definitive. I just hate those stark white tests, ya know.

I want to say try a test at least you will know but I also completely understand as to the disappointment that comes with a bfn. Spotting isn’t so bad but if there was bleeding then I wouldn’t be so optimistic for you.

I believe at 16 dpo I thought I was going to get a full blown cold or virus or something but it went away. I’m assuming it was due to the fact that your immune system weakens a bit so your body doesn’t attack the pregnancy.

I was spotting from the 17th up until the 21st it even got dark and I was super stressed out about it but it did stop.

I have attached my temp chart for you although my temps have been giving me mini panic attacks. They say stop tempting once you get your bfp and now I know why.

It's kinda silly cause I know I should test, but I guess not testing lets me hold onto a bit of hope. Which is probably more unhealthy mentally tbh 😂

The blood I have just now is somewhere in between spotting and AF. Yesterday and today it's been slightly more red in the morning and then has really dried up and gone light pink again by bedtime. It's interesting that you had some spotting too and that some of it was dark.

I've been feeling run down for about a week now. Wake up each morning with a sore throat and blocked nose, but it's never actually turned into a proper cold.

Thanks for your chart! Looks like you got a nice implantation dip :)

I only started temping at 9dpo this month having never done it before, so sadly I really don't have any data to compare it to. It went down a little at 11 and 13dpo, back up, then dropped a bit 2 days before AF was due, but then went straight back up again and has stayed up. I guess I got my hopes up cause I know temp is meant to keep dropping before AF and mine hasn't. Is that a really common thing? I guess maybe it's just my norm is to stay high around that time as I don't have previous months' data to look back on.

Choc29 · 23/02/2024 13:08

AF arrived this morning , 1 week late. I'm gutted but also received I finally know now. Starting month 3 with so mutch more knowlege of OPKs and supplements. Onwards and upwards. Xxx

Your probably getting sick of me now 🤣. My period lasted 1 day. Wasn't majorly heavy. I did take 1 tranexamic acid tablet yesterday as my periods are absolutely horrendous usually but wouldn't have thought 1 tablet would stop it completely. X

Hi everyone how are you all doing?
So I’m back to the TWW. This month I didn’t track anything. I’m not putting as much pressure on myself. It’s been a relief in all honesty.
Im due AF on Mother’s Day so if she doesn’t appear before then I’ll test that day. Would be the best gift ever but I’m not going to put my heart into it. If it’s meant to be it will be.

Sending baby dust to you all! Hopefully we’ll be getting a Christmas baby 💙

FullMoon1917 · 28/02/2024 13:32

@Cols124 i am at the start of my next fertile window but like you I am not going to track and go mental like I did last month. I think its causing me a lot of stress which is counterproductive!

Last time I kept doing LH and the amount of pregnancy tests i did was ridiculous.

I am waiting to get a HyCoSy done at the hospital so that gives me some hope that things are moving forward.

If its meant to be its meant to be! Xxx

Starrysky812 · 28/02/2024 15:23

Hi ladies! I'm due to ovulate tomorrow or Friday but I'm also not tracking this month. Just take it as it comes and see what happens. Will be keeping my fingers crossed but not going to put any pressure on the situation. Good luck to everyone ❤️

Starrysky812 · 28/02/2024 17:58

Quick question - I usually have ewcm for a few days in the run up to ovulation and then a day or so after. I'm due to ovulate (according to Glow which I just use to record my periods and give me a rough idea of ovulation) tomorrow. However my ewcm has gone already! I had a lot over the weekend and Monday, hardly anything yesterday and nothing today. My 15 month old has a cold so she has been BF a bit more than usual especially at night. Could I have ovulated a lot earlier, even though I have a pretty much exact 28 day cycle, or is it more likely I'm not ovulating at all this month? Does anyone else have experience of this sort of thing? Trying to keep chilled and avoid any opks 😆

Cols124 · 10/03/2024 10:18

Well my period was due today and nothing. So I tested and got a vvv faint BFP 🥹🥹🥹 Definitely going through the emotions.
I’ll keep testing hoping they get stronger 🤍

Sending baby dust to you all 🤍🤍🤍

@Cols124 congratulations! ❤️❤️❤️
I caved and took a test yesterday and got vfl. I did a few more throughout the day, still with vfls (period not due till Wednesday /Thursday). I did a clear blue early digital with fmu this morning and got BFP! I'm over the moon for us both ✨✨✨

Starrysky812 · 10/03/2024 10:31

@Cols124 oh and happy Mother's Day! 💐

FullMoon1917 · 11/03/2024 07:06

@Cols124 @Starrysky812 congratulations to you both!! I am due Sat/Sunday so have held off testing but symptom spotted like mad and not feeling too hopeful 😕 did either of you have any feeling it would be a bfp? Xx
