Hi all, thought as it's Bank Holiday and thread 15 was 900 plus I'd start a new one, hope that's OK??

Copying tags from when @starkid updated them all the other day.

Hope this works as I've not created a thread before!!

@LindyMoe the apps can be quite wrong - they all assume you ovulate bang in the middle of your cycle but it can actually vary for a lot of women by sometimes a week either side of what they predict

dahlia123 · 27/04/2019 13:21

Huge congratulations @Chembecky - that's a great line!!

Sorry about your BFN @LindyMoe. Enjoy the Avengers and all the cinema snacks you can fit in!

Hopefully next month will be the one for you @Hannah192

@Pinksunset1 sorry to hear about AF. Hope that the tests will give you some answers.

Fingers crossed for your Frer test @Dollywilde

LindyMoe · 27/04/2019 12:56

@mrseg @chembecky @mchelenz thanks but the apps tell me ovulation following my AF... I'm still waiting for her... 7 days and nothing!

cupcakesandglitter · 27/04/2019 12:37

Ahhh @Chembecky congrats!! X

I've only just woken up (super late night). BFN for me as expected but I'm feeling okay about it 😊 boobs are definitely less sore, so I'm expecting AF soon but we'll see x

McHelenz · 27/04/2019 12:16

@lindymoe I've been trying out a few apps, found FF to be the most accurate, so much so I've paid for a years membership.

MrsEG · 27/04/2019 12:04

Hey @LindyMoe, there are a few things that can help pinpoint ovulation - you can download apps (Clue, Fertilty Friend etc) which predict your fertile week. I also use Clear Blue digital ovulation sticks as these show your most fertile days (quite expensive though, although I think they’re on offer on amazon at the moment). This month I am also using Ava to track my temperature too, others do this just using a simple BBT thermometer. I’d say the apps and ovulation sticks are the best place to start!

Chembecky · 27/04/2019 11:52

@LindyMoe no worries! And with regard to ovulation...if you use a fertility app then they are useful to help pinpoint your fertile week. Some people use ovulation sticks to help work out when they ovulate - I used them this month and found out I ovulate later than my app suggested.

LindyMoe · 27/04/2019 09:51

@chembecky thank you

Chembecky · 27/04/2019 09:28

FRER is a first response early result - brand of pregnancy test that I believe is the most sensitive

LindyMoe · 27/04/2019 09:27

Oh and also, how do I know when I'm ovulating so we can try again given we're still waiting for AF?

LindyMoe · 27/04/2019 09:25

Huge congrats @chembecky, lovely news!

To everyone else, what is a FRER?...

Dollywilde · 27/04/2019 09:22

Thanks @mrseg and @lokicat Smile Loki, think I’m 15dpo but just based on cycle tracking rather than OPKs or temping etc.

Chembecky · 27/04/2019 09:21

FYI for all those testing...I didn't get a BFP until after AF was due....So if you don't have AF it's still possible 🙂

Pinksunset1 · 27/04/2019 09:21

Hi sorry haven’t been on lately I just wanted to update everyone AF arrived yesterday and I’m deflated as I was sure I got my positive ovulation so now going onto cycle 5. I’m also being sent for a laparoscopy on 13th May as I have had ongoing pelvic pain since November and ended up off work at start of year. Hope everyone is doing ok x

MrsEG · 27/04/2019 09:06

@Dollywilde Ah sorry hun. FX for a FRER, they are much more sensitive. And if not, I hope you have something planned to cheer yourself up and get right in to your next cycle! You’ll get that BFP one day soon (hopefully very soon!)

MrsEG · 27/04/2019 09:01

@Fivebyfive2 Ha I missed all the willy talk too - it’s so true though! DH has so many pics of my boobs on his phone (ahhh, the early days of dating) and he once asked why I’ve never asked for one of his peen - I was like do I really need to answer that? They look like something found deep on the ocean floor...

Avengers will definitely take your mind off things, we’re going back to see it again tonight! I also have a long day of organising the spare room - it’s earmarked for a nursery and absolutely full of junk So tackling it today!

LokiCat · 27/04/2019 09:01

Ahhh cross post! Sorry for your bfn @Dollywilde! Fingers crossed for when you test on the FRER ❤️🤞🏽 what DPO are you?

LokiCat · 27/04/2019 09:00

Huge congrats @Chembecky!! So pleased for you! Wishing you a healthy pregnancy 😊

Sorry for your BFN @Hannah192 and @LindyMoe ❤️ enjoy avengers and Prosecco tonight! 😊

Fingers crossed for you @cupcakesandglitter and @Dollywilde

Was thinking about you ladies when I got up this morning, so I thought I would check. I hope there's more positive news! X

Dollywilde · 27/04/2019 08:59

BFN on a Clearblue :( might get a FRER to try tomorrow morning but not so much as a squinter sadly, looks like it’s not our month.

Bit disappointed but hey ho - only month one.

Huge congrats @chembecky!!! And fingers crossed for @cupcakesandglitter Smile

Chembecky · 27/04/2019 08:43

Thanks @FlapJackered - I'm a little bit in shock as we've only recently started trying...but I'm excited! Cant wait for the scan so I can tell family! Little way to go yet....

FlapJackered · 27/04/2019 08:39

@Chembecky congratulations!! 🎉🎉🎉 you must be over the moon!

Keeping my fingers crossed for the other ladies testing today 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻

Fivebyfive2 · 27/04/2019 08:35

Morning ladies!! Avengers tonight, should take my mind off the wait for a few hours?! Had another dream, this time that my soon to be sis in law was pregnant!! In it, I was worried I'd have to stop trying, because our boss (we work together) would be annoyed if we were both pregnant! And my bro was panicking because she wanted to buy everything from Jon Lewis?! Very random.

Good today @cupcakesandglitter and @dollywilde! Got everything crossed 🤞 xx

Sorry for bfn @Hannah192 @LindyMoe. Have a treat yo self weekend!! Xx

@Chembecky, what a line!! Congratulations 🙂

I missed all the willy talk last night 😢 I am the same really, my dh's I'm obviously OK with, but I Do Not want to be looking at others, they're just so... Dangley?! I hate the idea of male strippers!! Burlesque shows on the other hand... Shake it ladies!!

Chembecky · 27/04/2019 08:03

@Tropicana1 I think I'm about 17dpo

Tropicana1 · 27/04/2019 08:00

@Chembecky wow what a great positive!! Congratulations! How many DPO are you today?

MrsEG · 27/04/2019 07:49

@Chembecky Congrats lovely, absolutely no denying that result!! Wishing you a happy healthy 9 months!

@Hannah192 @LindyMoe so sorry about the BFNs I had my fingers crossed for you all. FX your next cycle is your lucky one!

Good luck @cupcakesandglitter @Dollywilde
