Wildlyluna when do you test? Are you good about waiting til a missed period? I’m not, I’m testing at 8 and 9 dpo (never gotten a positive that early but I have no patience).
Hi everyone, my AF is due in a couple of days. Last cycle was a bfn, I thought I had implantation cramps but they were just late O pains especially since I mostly felt them on the left. This cycle, I've had period-like cramps for almost a week now and sore bbs and nipples(they were hurting a lot last night!). Not the norm for me, once in a blue moon I get sore bbs a day or two before AF, not days before. It could just be hormones this month, and I don't have any other noticeable symptom, so I'm still mentally preparing for AF.
I pray we all get our bfp, if not this month then soon XX
So the brown spotting stopped at lunch yesterday and I’ve had nothing until about an hour ago tonight I started pink spotting again. Wonder if I should visit the doctor for a chat tomorrow?

Hi everyone,
I hope you don't mind me jumping on this thread! I have been reading through this forum for many months now. I have a beautiful boy who will be 3 this year and have had my first attempt at a girl sway on the 5th of September:)
Wishing you all the best for the coming months hopefully we all get our BFP and healthy babies [emoji178]

Hi had two attempts in one day (first attempt at 9am then 2 hours later) but never again. I bd on cd10 and pretty sure I ovulated on cd13. I'm kicking myself for having that 2nd attempt ...I have been feeling a bit bloated and alot of stomach noises so patiently waiting ..currently 4dpo so no point of testing.
I feel like I messed it up, also didn't do the diet..but hubby did abstain for 6 days for the first time

You always have a chance for a girl regardless nyc! When will you test?
CD 1 for me + a quick update for this cycle, not so exciting news.
My doctor is going to be out of town around my CD 15/16 [emoji17] so, we have to push it back to our regular October plan.
Which bummed me out a lot.
At least it's next cycle + we will see her Oct 7th (around CD1 for October) for our pre IUI appointment, ultrasound + collect my trigger shot.
We calculated my october fertile window for our IUI cycle yesterday (now that I have a regular cycle length + ovulate the same time!) she gave us an aim of Oct 25/26 for insemination... its just sooo far away from now.
I'm feeling ok today but, the thought of us not having a good chance for our baby this month hurts a little bit.
I have been back + fourth with my emotions. But, I'm going to keep trying, taking the clomid + have myself a little mental break, if you dont hear from me for a while!
I still hope we see more bfps in here too! [emoji173][emoji3448] Keep the hope alive + Good Luck everyone! Much Love! [emoji173][emoji3448]

It was [emoji174]
But, we're still planning on continuing with everything as planned, and we will freely bd all this month!! There is literally no pressure for this cycle either. [emoji16]
Maybe it's what we need, again, maybe not? We'll never know! [emoji2368][emoji38]

Hi again ladies,
I hope you are all having a good month so far, I'm being overall eagar here I was just wondering on what dpo would you chance doing a pregnancy test? I think I ovulated later than what I had originally thought so I may be out this month anyway [emoji852]
I think I am only about 4dpo so I know it's too early but how long would you usually wait? I didn't realise I was pregnant with my son until I missed my period [emoji85]
Thanks very much in advance for all your suggestions

Start when ever you would like? When would you like to start? Some people start as early as 8dpo -11dpo. I don’t test, but that’s because I become easily obsessed and burn through them so quickly. [emoji23][emoji23] Is rather watch my temps [emoji4]
Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
I would start now if I could to be honest [emoji23][emoji85] I also become easily obsessed so maybe I should aim for 13 or 14 days dpo and start from there! I didn't think anything would show up at 8 days dpo so I might chance testing once then :) I had my attempt on Thursday as I've been following an app but personally I don't think I ovulated until Saturday so fingers crossed I'm still in with a chance

Well today is CD30, 13dpo and af didn't arrive this morning. I decided to take a test but it was bfn.
I don't really know what to think at the moment, I'm trying my best not to symptom spot but the cramps and sore bbs/nipples aren't imaginary, I have never had such symptoms a WEEK before af. I'm also having weird tummy aches as if I ate something that didn't suit my stomach. And my skin is clear, it's never clear before af, where my skin looks dull and I get breakouts.
But surely if I was pg there would be at least a faint hint of a bfp but there's nothing. I think AF is just late this month, I'll probably see her tomorrow or day after. My last cycle was 28 days. If I'm out this cycle then why is my body playing cruel tricks on me? I hate this whole cycle repeat of feeling hopeful and then being let down, I just want to cry and hide away :(
I’m sorry this is happening. It could be that you are and that it isn’t showing up on the test yet. I hope you get your answers soon. AF hormones can disguise themselves and make you feel that you literally are pregnant - it’s so unfair! We aren’t TTC just yet but I accidentally missed a day of the pill as I was traveling. I had ALL the signs - missed period, skin changes, cramps, hair loss... the list went on. I was convinced I was - there was no way I couldn’t have been. But, then AF arrived. Hormones play horrible games with us, I swear.

Thank you so much for your reassurances wildlyluna and MsDashwood <3
This is only my 2nd month of ttc so I even know it's silly to be overreacting at this stage, but I'm swaying blue and trying everything to up my chances of fertility. I felt so good about my attempts this cycle, everything was perfect. I dtd several times through the fertile window, and had some attempts eod after the window too just in case.
It sucks because when I wasn't ttc I was awaiting my signs of AF each month and noting what happened. This cycle when ttc my body decides to randomly have cramps from 6dpo and sore bbs, which I never ever get!! Like what the heck is my body doing, if I'm not pg why isn't AF here already so I can get an answer !?
Sorry for my rant ladies, I can't open up about this with anyone in real life, not even DH because he gets worried for me when I'm upset :( I just wish I KNEW what month I would have a bfp so I can stop stressing right now. This is my first baby and for all I know it can take months. Ttc and the tww feel like torture.
Hurrem TTC can mess with you so much. When we were trying for our third, I had every symptom under the sun the first cycle (cramps, tingly nipples, pinching in my lower abdomen, etc) and would’ve sworn that I was pregnant. Turns out we completely missed my fertile window that cycle and I couldn’t possibly have been pregnant, lol. I conceived the next cycle and didn’t have any of those symptoms at all. Symptoms just aren’t always a good indicator of pregnancy unfortunately. Also, swaying can change your cycles. Are you sure of when you ovulated? If you chart we can take a look at it. I know there are women who didn’t get a bfp at 13 dpo and were pregnant, but generally most would get a positive at that point.
RockieAnn that has to be so disappointing, it’s so tough when big plans like that get changed. I hope you’re able to have a relaxing month, and you’re right, sometimes that’s all a couple needs. Keep us updated!!
Pinkdust testing before 8 dpo is usually pointless because of implantation, but it also depends on how you feel. Some women are devastated by a bfn so would rather see their period. I’m ok with seeing a bfn so I usually start testing at 9 dpo (although the earliest I’ve gotten a bfp is 11 dpo so idk why I start so early, haha).
Thanks very much for your reply I am trying to hold out for as long as I can but I will probably crack soon [emoji85]
Hurrem I also feel like i have every symptom going at the moment, sore nipples, cramping etc. I am a big believer in the mind having an influence on the physicality of the body, and all I am thinking about is pregnancy at the moment. Hope you get your answer soon and best wishes [emoji178]

So weird stuff happening today! I started mild cramping a few hours ago and it hasn't stopped [emoji46]
Sent from my SM-A710M using Tapatalk
It was a bummer, for the moment!
But, there's no use in being sad over something that was probably not meant to happen. [emoji2368] [emoji16]
We will have this last shot of trying by ourselves assisted by a big dose of clomid!
If all shall fail this cycle, we have the next month and cycle to look forward to!
I will keep updating, as always! [emoji8][emoji173]

So true Greydore, ttc has been messing with my mind. I wish our symptoms were constant every month but no, our body does weird things and makes you so convinced this is the month. I've been tracking my fertile window through the Billings method, and it worked for dtd outside my fertile days when we weren't ttc. But every cycle is different and just because we can see physical signs of O doesn't mean it happened! I'm planning on using opks this cycle though, even if they're costly here where I live.
