Bfn on a frer today. Guess I'm out bc I should see something by now. Cramping so I guess AF will show up soon. That blue dye really got my hopes up yesterday

I just read online that giving oral sex lowers your pregnancy changes because saliva kills sperm. Now- every single time we have sex- I give him oral sex before penetration. This could be why we aren't pregnant after 6 months. We got pregnant last time first try... Now im totally bummed. We hit all the right days and I felt so confident and now im thinking its gonna be another month of BFN because I didn't know this. Tonight is my last fertile night. No BJ tonight lol.. ugh

I read some article about that before getting pregnat with my DS back in 2016 and we stop oral on fertile days. We also use preseed and we got pregnant 1st cycle back then. Now this is our 2nd cycle. Last cycle we didnt use preseed bfn. This cycle we used preseed but only bd 5 days before what I thought it was O but then ff changed my O day so we bd again (didnt use preseed) so Im hoping! AF due the 19 we’ll see what happens! Good luck to you

Spud, good luck
But be careful with the home bargains tests, I always get lines on them

Sorry to all the AFs this cycle. Baby dust to you for October!
CD33 for me and still no AF - I’m having twinges every now and then, a full feeling low in my uterus but not the dragging feeling like I usually get. CP is low & closed, lotiony/creamy cm. No idea what is going on...I keep expecting AF to show each time I wipe after peeing (sorry if that’s tmi) but nothing. I’ve also noticed I’ve got noticible blue veins on my hips, stomach, thighs, and my wrists. I’m quite pale so my veins show up more anyway, but this seems on another level. Not sure if I’m just looking out for symptoms (probably!)... but today I’m absolutely knackered, I’ve been hungry all day and also had periods where I felt nauseous and hot flashes.
I’ve booked a doc appt for Monday (17/09) but that’s dayssss away! I’m tempted to test tomorrow but not sure if I should wait longer... Help!

 

[MissDoc]

So sorry to those of you AF got. Hope the next fertile phase comes super quickly to try again.

Angel, even if you didn't BD on day 12, you still had decent timing at least with the day 9 and 11 BDing, and if you BD 13 that should help cover your bases.

Kem, I can't be of help because I'd be testing like a maniac if I were you! Good luck!


As for me, I O'd early (I guess the chemical pregnancy last cycle threw things off), so right now I'm either 2 or 3 days past ovulation (OPKs and temps give different dates, and it's hard to trust my temps as I'm up and down throughout the night with a teething toddler).

Either way, I have at least til Monday before it makes any sense to even start crazy-testing and looking for potential lines. So nothing to do right now but wait it out.

 

[mkyerby16]

Cd27, bfn again. Not a glimpse of anything on Frer so I'm just waiting on AF now, should be anytime now. I've never used opk's but want to next cycle... any tips for a newbie that knows very little about them?

 

[dmusgray]

I will test if doesn't arrive. My SO wants me to test tomorrow because I've had two huge temp dips that are completely out of character for me as well as the accompanying cramps.

Let's see how it goes!

I thinks it’s clear & simple or simple & clear I will double check the name when I go in to town this week

 

[Pixie2982]

Has any of my uk friends here ever used Poundland OPKs ?
I haven’t had time to order one step ones this cycle as pay dates haven’t allowed the time, so I just bought Poundland ones 5 in pack

Hi MrsMummy2! Can you please add me on August 25? I’ve been stressing these last few months, so I am taking a break from testing and posting until then. Fx fx fx and babydust all around! Wishing all of you ladies BFPs this cycle

 

[thencomesbebe]

3 days away from fertile "week" and hoping that all of the stress in the world won't stop us from the BD!!! Fx ladies, here goes nothing!

My fav is mybabytests! They are supposedly 10 IU tests, and I have indeed picked up BFPs on them prior to other tests! They’re rather inexpensive.
