Condolences to those with AF, I think I'll be joining you soon. Glow says AF is due for me on Tues. Having none of the early pregnancy symptoms at all and all the usual PMS symptoms. Currently CD26 11DPO. Tested this morning and couldn't have been more negative. Should I have a faint line or at least some symptoms by now if I've caught?

Milliebob, not necessarily. Hcg isn't produced until the egg implants, which is usually between 7 and 10DPO, so at 11DPO there might not be enough to be detected (which is why all the tests say accuracy is so low four days before AF's due).

As for symptoms, it's not unusual to feel nothing until 6 weeks of pregnancy (4 weeks after conception) or even later. So you're not out the game yet, fingers crossed!

Hi all

Sorry I've been AWOL, I have been lurking though. Congrats on the BFPs, commiserations on BFNs and AFs.

I'm CD28 and approx 12DPO (I think). Had no cramps and my skin is a lot clearer than it usually is. I get a couple of weird pre-AF symptoms that I haven't had this time (and would have done by now) and my CM is very similar to when I was pregnant so not sure what's up! Too early to test? AF due Monday.

TEST! I'm 12DPO and tested again this morning, BFN

:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl: I probably should but I'd end up testing every day! I'm going out tonight and tomorrow though so I have to make the drinking choice.

Hey ladies, CD14 and not a lot to report here. Big hugs to those with AF and BFNs. I've just emerged from the peak period, according to my fertility monitor, but only managed to successfully BD once thanks to OH's work schedule, so not overly hopeful.

Spent yesterday with the bestie and her baby, who is a gorgeous little thing, but there was that irritating green-eyed monster gnawing in my brain, which I expect everyone here can relate to. Just to add to that, SIL was due yesterday, so we're waiting for that phone call. I really hope she either gives birth today or Sunday. Saturday is my wedding anniversary, and at the risk of sounding horribly selfish, I'd like a day where I have something to celebrate. If it never happens for us, having to celebrate a child's birthday on my wedding anniversary is going to be a permanent reminder of what we didn't manage. That makes me sound like a really bad person, doesn't it? Must think positive!

Hugs Cuilean, you don't sound selfish at all, please don't beat yourself up.

Milliebob, commiserations on BFN, but don't give up hope, it's still early days.

MRN & Lulu, sounds promising, keeping fingers & toes crossed for you

So, AF finally made an appearance today, 8 weeks after coming off the pill, here's hoping that next cycle is bit shorter & I'll have a better idea when I ov.

CD25 13DPO bfn today, but will try again tomorrow. no AF yet.

waves of sickness/dizziness, bloating, cramping, few lower aches etc. cm gone though, so Im predicting AF soon.

Hope you don't mind me sneaking in here but just wanted to give you some positive encouragement, I had these symptoms before my BFP, so much so I thought it was all over as it felt just like AF. I had a glass of wine to comiserate and thought I better just check to put my mind at ease when I reach for the next glass! I'd been trying for a while and lost hope so good luck!
