Unfortunately a negative test.. Very dry CM, practically bone dry, tucked away cervix.. Perhaps dehydrated due to Summery weather.. Cycle day 25 of 27. Cycle length varies between 27 and 31 days. Last few cycles have stuck at 27. Tingly breasts particularly the upper region. Veiny, diffuse soreness/nodules. Eating everything in sight.. Been trying since last July.. Dr very snippy and obviously stated no further investigation required until 12 months no babe, only recommend vitamin D/folic acid supplement.. Will update here 😔

Your dates are similar to mine. I’m 12DPO today. My last 3 periods have come after 26 day cycles so on that basis I’m due tomorrow, but I tracked my ovulation and that was cycle day 14, so I reckon my period could come Monday or Tuesday instead. It’s torture when you’re on the last day or two before your period. You know you’re not pregnant but equally there’s this tiny bit of hope that all the tests so far are wrong and your positive is just coming later 😭

are those symptoms new or do you usually get them? I never get spotting between periods or sore boobs but this cycle I did so I thought it was a done deal! We’ll have the same dates for May most likely, let’s hope for a better run 🤞🏻

I know... I bought a couple of tests on a whim as the strip tests hadn't arrived and I found myself pulling them apart just to check there wasn't a glimmer of a line 😔 how incredibly undignified.

The too familiar gnawing of aunt flo plus the silly pms intrusive thoughts always make it a bit darker of a situation...

Yes the top halves of my boobs have more of a stingy sensation. My cervix is always rather high and this morning almost to high to reach and very much dry again.

Thank you, fingers crossed May is our month, Spring time.. wouldn't that be lovely. Today I'm going to do some gardening to try and shift my mindset....
