***** JANUARY 2018 testing thread *****

[Nikkibiscuit]

Alexis cos the hsg have brought on AF early? I don't know much about exactly what they do I'm just thinking back to when I had lletz treatment for abnormal cells in cervix that shortened my cycle that month and brought AF on about 5 days early x

Dunno I promised myself I wouldn’t get upset/cry and I have. It’s just tough going and it’s wearing me thin now

I'm so sorry Alexis....just hang onto the knowledge that you are doing the right thing you have more appointments so hopefully can get some answers. Every step that says things are ok has to be one in the right direction. Must be so so hard for you....im a few months behind you and already starting to feel some of your pain x

Sorry to hear Alexis must be such a demoralising process for you!

I was getting my hair done today and felt some strong cramps and felt a lot of wet-ness "down there." I thought AF had arrived! I got home and it was just a lot of watery cm. Cramps are still ongoing. I'm CD27 so very possible that AF is due any day now :/

So sorry alexis, hope things settle down!

Well I'm roughly 6dpo... (didn't use opks and cycles can vary by a few days)
Iv got a cold coming on... But then so has my mum (Iv been there every day) so probably caught if off her.

Iv had some mild periody (made up word lol) type cramps earlier on too, felt like the niggles I get when I'm coming on or a actually on.
A few minor cramps/pinching/sharp pain in right side.
For last two months though Iv had these pains in my left side right in my groin and af has come. I'm tired.. But that could be due to me sickening for this viral thing going about.
less this month but I'm sure we covered the ov period. I WAS a lot less stressed this cycle not doing opks ect. But now I'm into my 2ww and coming into the second week I'm driving myself crazy!

Congrats lalaroo. Great news,

I just had worst drive home in hellish snow for 2.5 hrs then got home to find brown dc which is normally start of af which is not due till Sunday...5 days early wtf....so so so so annoyed and fed up of this. I don’t get why at is now showing up early

Sorry Alexis hope it’s just IB for you and the witch stays away

It won’t be.....it never is. My body is apparently incapable of making a baby and now I can’t even have 8 days after ovulation. Roll on our next clinic appt as I have lots of questions I need answers too.

You know your own body alexis but i really hope you are wrong this time and that it is IB. Has your af ever been 5 days early before? Keeping everything crossed for you. Hope youve had an easier commute today. I did....it was horrendous yesterday! ×

Yeah last night it took me 2.5 hrs to get hom Last night. Today was much better.

I just had some watery browny grey dc today not much at all. No red blood yet no cramps but still suspect af will show. Never been this early. Food tastes ‘off ‘today hoping it means something but no doubt af will show. I don’t know my temp haven’t temped since ovulation. Achey boobs, headaches but doesn’t feel like af should be here no cramps at all, maybe hsg test has messed my cycle up and will take a while for full flow to start.? I suspect af will show in morning. Can’t wait for that

I am 8dpo I know this sounds crazy (too crazy to say out loud) but I genuily feel like I felt implantation today. I will test at 12dpo could all be a figment if my imagination

 

[CDK500]

AF was due on Monday for me, I tested on Sunday and got a BFN, but AF still hasn’t shown up yet. If she doesn’t come tomorrow I’m doing another test on Friday morning. Hate this waiting!!! Would love to think I’m pregnant but I have a feeling the stress I had in work earlier this month is probably caused my cycle to mess up.

I'm keeping my FX for you Alexis and CDK!

 

[Alexis2017]

Good luck everyone hopefully one of us at least is lucky !

 

[linxminx21]

January hadn't been as kind as December has it! I'm dreading testing on the 21st! I don't even know when I ovulated so I can't really say a definite dpo.
Not tracking may be a bit less stressful running up to and during ov but it isn't during the tww when you don't know where you are lol

 

[Alexis2017]

The brown dc had disappeared completely...11dpo today af due in 3 days. No blood or anything...trying hard not to get my hopes up that brown sc was IB! Never happened to me before so hoping af stays away and I can test at wknd

Ohh sounds promising alexis especially as it's abnormal for you too! Good luck!

 

[Alexis2017]

Ah too scared to test and worried I'm getting my hopes up for nothing. Just leaving work now. When should I test? Problem is I am mega thirsty as my mouth is so dry all the time not sure if that's a symptom but I cant stop drinking water so urine is very dilute.

 

[Melly41]

Alexis i had and still have a dry mouth. Overnight is the worst! I now drink anout 7 or 8 pints a day which helps overnight as not so dehydrated. I got a line i think 11dpo at 9pm with a superdrug early....i totally get you feeling nervous to test....i would cave right now haha! But if you can hold out maybe tomorrow morning?? Oooo i just dont know....maybe now?? Will be stalkinf constantly over next 24 hours. If it was an IB it might take 2-3 days for hcg to be detected so test 2 or 3 days since your potential IB....when would that be....please please please let that be now. I dont think i can wait haha! Xx

 

[Melly41]

Maybe try holding your wee and not drinking for next 3 or so hours if you can? Csn you suck a mint so you dont get too thirst. Something lemony will help stimulate saliva glands too x
