I've decided this hot weather is a passion killer! I think I may be out for this month. Angry

Good to hear the cold turkey is going well Purple! 😊

Oh Johno that sucks for you! Hope af buggers off quickly for you and enjoy the ttc free time 😊

I second the frer brig an af invite theory! Af normally rocks up a few hours after testing for me. Stupid frers!!

5dpo.... Bored! No symptoms just usual post ov cm 😒
I told dh that this cycle will probably end in a bfn as I didn't have much Ewcm but that next cycle should be better as I'm hoping to produce more! Recently read that pregnacare can affect ewcm so I've probably spent the last 7 months without any because of that grrr 😡

Fx for anyone else waiting to test xxx

Johno85 · 21/07/2016 06:58

So it seems like taking a frer is like a invitation to AF. Big bbt dip this morning and red spotting. Annoyingly a longer cycle than I've had for a while. Roll on Sunday so I can escape from the madness that is ttc: if only for a couple of weeks! Fx for everyone else testing soon X

Purpleviola14 · 20/07/2016 21:26

I am day 7 of my cold turkey cycle. So far very calm and destressed 😊
Fx johno, it doesn't sound like you are out yet

Johno85 · 20/07/2016 19:52

So how everyone else cooking? Still no sign of AF yet!

babydances · 20/07/2016 17:26

Thank you bobo and huge apologies. It was a google image but looked like that. So that was yesterday so looks like the implant being out has kicked in then Smile
Feel very pleased about this and need to get bding if I can get dp in the mood in this heat!

babydances · 20/07/2016 16:02

TMI PHOTO ALERT

Please could I just attach a tmi photo?
It's not of me but a photo I found online which is similar to what I had...

Very sorry if photo offends anyone Blush

Baby you should be fine if you dtd tonight! Aperm can live inside for 3-5 days so it's best to dtd before ov rather than after 😄 And it is soooooo hot I don't think I could handle a sweaty bd right now so can't blame you oh 😉 Xxx

babydances · 20/07/2016 15:06

Hi everyone,
So had my implant out 13 days ago and yesterday I had what looked like EWCM and I was very excited about this! We dtd the day before yesterday twice and nothing yesterday or today so far so hopefully we haven't blown our chances. Do was too hot this morning Hmm

Johno85 · 20/07/2016 12:39

Loving the positive vibes from you all.

So yeh apparently high temp is a good sign. Will be 18dpo come Sunday so if a bfn I think it's a sign the witch will be round the corner.

My LP last two cycles has been 11 days but has been as high as 15 or 18 which apparently it shouldn't vary so much, but let's face it none of us really have "normal" cycles.

So cd 40. Apparently ov on cd 26. Now 14dpo. Oh the joys. At least the sun is shining Smile

Sorry it wasn't a bfp Sarahh but good for you putting a positive spin on it!! And a nice 28day cycle which is great!

Don't worry Johno it might get be too early, you might not produce hcg very quickly. How long is your lp normally? And I'm not a temper but isnt a high temp still a good sign? 😄

I'm 4 dpo today! Possibly 5dpo but I'm going on the lower number so I don't waste an extra day of tests!😆

Since I seem to be in this for the long haul I've decided to face each cycle with blind optimism! Which is why you are all going to to get positive vibes from me every time you poas 😘 Xxx

Loulabelle1990 · 20/07/2016 11:47

Sorry for the bfn johno! Fx it's too early!

SummerHopin · 20/07/2016 10:38

FX for you Johno :)

Johno85 · 20/07/2016 07:20

Morning all. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news as I know Bobo everyone has been waiting for me to poas. Bright white BFN this morning at 14dpo. Temp high, HR high, no sign of AF. Will wait till Sunday to test before I head off on my holibobs X

sarahhh1984 · 19/07/2016 22:19

Hi ladies! Just arrived in Greece and AF has shown up. However, quite pleased about this because it's a neat 28 day cycle and tells me my bits are all in working order! Plus as soon as AF has finished me and DH can make the most of the romantic Santorini atmosphere and dtd loads! Wink

Fx for that BFP from one of you ladies. Will keep an eye on the thread! x

SummerHopin · 19/07/2016 22:00

Hi ladies, just to say hi on the new thread.
I'm still a beginner in the science of ttc, but after 3 cycles of "seeing what happens" I'm now 110% crazed and my OPK kit has arrived :)
My 1st 2 cycles were 4 weeks and the last was 5.5weeks so a little irregular, I'm going to start testing in a week or so and then will probably be on here needing help to see that all important extra line.

Also - hello to Sunnydays and thank you for that message. It sure is lovely to hear a success story :) I'm really pleased for you and your bump!

booboodedooboop · 19/07/2016 21:56

Hello all, hope I can hop on here Smile

TTC #1 and on cycle 4 after Cerazette, sounds like I've been really lucky with my immediate 28 day cycles! Unfortunately my LP is only about 9 days at the moment, so this is my first cycle on B6 - fingers crossed!

Johno85 · 19/07/2016 21:34

I think it's more denial of a bfn than will power Bobo. Knowing me though I'll cave in the morning and do one anyway! I think I know if I do one 14dpo and its negative I may not get my BFP this month..... Promise I will keep you posted either way. X

Loulabelle1990 · 19/07/2016 21:32

Yeah John I think you should maybe wait a little longer - it's like your pissing on a £5 note otherwise and effectively wasting it! If nothing tomorrow maybe test thur or fri!

BoBo90 · 19/07/2016 21:30

Welcome pie! Look at all you sneaky lurkers piping up 😄 I'll add you to the list tomorrow!

Claire and happy I will update the list for you too 😄

Johno 😱 How can you toy with me this way! I was all excited for a poas moment in the morning!
I guess I can let you off 😉 If you can wait longer then you go for it! You have more will power than me 😄 Xxx

Johno85 · 19/07/2016 20:08

Hey lou. I'm torn whether to test tomorrow or give it another couple of days so I'm more dpo. Will be 14 dpo tomorrow. Trying not to get my hopes up. Last cycle I was just about to test when AF arrived! Envy

happybus28 · 19/07/2016 19:45

Hi bobo you have me on the list but no details so TTC#1 Cycle 2!

Loulabelle1990 · 19/07/2016 19:39

Welcome newbies!

Johno I hope AF stays away for you! You still going to test in the morning?
