Think I've found it 😂😂

Hi everyone, I tried to make a new thread,
thought i had... but i now can't find it to send a link.. massive fail 🙈😂

Tagged some of the most recent ladies on it.. sorry everyone!

If someone could tag me i would appreciate it 🤣🤣

Hope you are all ok, love to all!

Gosh theres just so many of you to keep tags on! Thank you all so much for the support. Very sorry to hear some of you haven't got the news you wanted. I haven't either. My period is due in 6 days so I did a test and got a BFN

But equally, delighted to hear some have had good new and wishing you all the best celebration times ahead (alcohol free of course).

On the bright side. At least DP and I have a great excuse to get at like rabbits! comisseratory love making can be just as fun!

@LokiCat i’m CD3 today as well. How long are your cycles? I have found temping helpful but always seem to have a few days around predicted ov where my temp is not clearly saying ovulation has occurred. It was helpful having OPKs last month for the first time to help pin point it more.

It will good to see how those of you doing SMEP get on. I’m not sure my DH would cope with an upfront plan of DTD (i’m Planning when we DTD but he’s not aware it’s planned!) but if it works for you I’ll definitely to try to work it into the FW.

@Anny27 yup Femometer as well - excited to try it out in the morning! I'm just glad the beeps are so faint. The digital thermometer I had would beep so loudly I was constantly worried it would wake DH up!
Ooh, this is our first time trying SMEP and I've warned DH it may be quite tiring from what ladies on here have said, but he's ready to go 😂

@ELW85 yep i am hoping it is easy to remember to do every morning when i wake up!

@LokiCat you got the femometer one as well didnt you? Mine arrived today and i am equally as excited haha! Its so cool how it works - will try it properly for the first time tomorrow morning :D ahh its frustrating when you just want to get started on DTD....although i am thankful that i can have a little break now as SMEP was intense haha!

@ELW85 I briefly thought about it and while it would probably be lovely I think I'm not going to go for one. My theory is that the NHS scans are at specific times based on good evidence so I'm going to put my trust in that. Also trying to be a good "patient" it's so weird being on the other side!

@Anny27 sorry, that was meant to say my new BBT thermometer arrived today.
I'm clearly still so excited about it!

@ELW85 think AF is imminent started spotting oh well onto next month

@MrsH497 ah I'm sorry, I can't see anything. There is still time, so fingers crossed you're not out! Xx

@Lozzlepop I hope you have a nice relaxing evening. Good luck for your scan in the morning - will be thinking of you❤️

@ELW85 The fact that the brown spotting has almost stopped sounds very positive and seems that it was old implantation bleeding 🤞🏽 hope all goes well with the midwife tomorrow. It's great that they've offered you an early scan as well! ❤️

@Larrydavid glad you had a nice holiday! Now time to relax away on your country retreat - not at all jealous!!

@Anny27 fingers crossed you have ovulated! I'm only CD3 today. Wishing for AF to hurry up and make a move so I can start SMEP!
My new BBT thermometer and I was so excited - DH didn't share my fascination with the fact that it could update the app automatically with the temp 😂

So I found out earlier today that a friend is pregnant and is due in November, which is also when I would have been due. I'm obviously over the moon for her but it put a slight damper on my evening.
I just really hope I am pregnant by the time November comes!

@LikeTheFruit - I bet you don’t get to see much of it, bless you!
Did you consider an early scan or are you happy to wait?

@MrsH497 - sorry my lovely I can’t see anything yet but there’s still lots of time before the weekend :) xx

@ELW85 yeah I have access to an oncall room with a bed for if it's quiet which is good. Don't always see much of it though. Time is going so so slowly though, can't believe it's another 6 weeks until my scan!

BFN isn't it

@LikeTheFruit - ah the nausea! Really pleased everything is going well for you though :)
I can only imagine how exhausted you are with your job and the shifts! Do you get any nap time or is that a stupid question? 😂

@Anny27 - temping really helped me, but everything crossed for you that won’t need to anyway!

@newgirl89 i used OPKs this cycle which gave me a positive on day 15. I find them really easy to use - just the internet cheapies! What about you?

@ELW85 yep i used OPKs this month which helped me pinpoint. And just incase we dont get our bfp this month, i have bought a thermometer to track next cycle as i want to confirm ovulation with bbt (hopefully i will never need to use it and this month is our month but you never know :p)

@ELW85 I'm feeling alright really. Nausea started last couple of days and I was hoping just to blame it on being on night shift but I think it's here to stay. 6+5 now. Got a wedding on day so think I'm going to need to take some emergency snacks!

@Larrydavid thank you so much for that, let’s keep everything crossed that @Lozzlepop and I only have good news for us all ❤️

Your day in the garden with the impending country retreat sounds awesome!
Do you have any ideas for your wedding dress yet?

@MrsH497 - ah I’m sorry to hear that. They say every pregnancy is different symptoms wise though, so I’m keeping everything crossed for you 🤞🏻
Thank you so much for all of your lovely posts and support, it’s meant a lot :)
Ah yes, I was wondering if my lines should have gotten massively darker but I think I’m still in with a chance :)

@LikeTheFruit - thank you so much my dear! How are you feeling? I hope you’re well?

@Anny27 - thank you for all of the lovely messages, so kind!
Do you temp and OPK to track your cycles? I’m sorry, I’m sure you’ve said :)

@Anny27 I'm cd15 usual 30 day cycle. OV hopefully any day now. Who knows. Do you use OPKs? How do you track? X

Yes please keep us updated @ELW85 and @Lozzlepop xxx

I am currently in the TWW (supposedly....although still not entirely convinced i ovulated haha)

Hoping not to test till 29th/30th but i dont have high hopes for my willpower haha

Where is everyone else in their cycle?
