Ahh @MrsH497 sorry to hear that, you may have ovulated earlier this month? I've had 23 day cycles and 40+ cycles so I can definitely resonate with how you feel. On the plus side, quicker to start another cycle xxxx

Lemonysherbet · 11/08/2019 10:51

@MrsH497 sorry to hear she showed up

MrsH497 · 11/08/2019 10:42

@Anny27 if I'm honest I'm assuming it's AF I don't think it's anything else just annoyed it's early and only got to 11dpo I normally have a longer cycle

PrincessConsuela12 · 11/08/2019 10:38

@Blossomingflower94 Thank you!

I tired with OPK's this month for the first time. I was getting a bit worried because the second line wasn't getting very dark & AF app said I was ovulating... 2 days later I got the second dark line. I guess I'll see shortly if it worked 🙂

Anny27 · 11/08/2019 10:37

@MrsH497 sorry to hear that :( is it definitley AF or could it be implantation?

MrsH497 · 11/08/2019 10:34

And AF has started 4 days early only a 25 day cycle this month never had an early period before gutted

MrsH497 · 11/08/2019 10:12

@cupcakesandglitter 9dpo trouble is I'd left it to go and do bits as there was nothing immediately. Not had a hint of anything since although not tested today as I'm at my mums. How many weeks are you? X

cupcakesandglitter · 11/08/2019 10:07

@MrsH497 I'm good thankyou 😊 still waiting for this to kick in, doesn't feel real 😂 when are you testing next?! When did you get your faint/possible evap? Xx

Lemonysherbet · 11/08/2019 10:03

@Imjustme2019 yeh I am happy. Slow and steady wins the race right? I married him so I'm Def happy 😁

Lemonysherbet · 11/08/2019 10:01

@anny27 oh yeh! Hi cycle buddy @Lottiepink 👋😁

I'm going to try not to test unless af is late. I say that now 😂

I'm meant to be out for drinks on Friday though so maybe Friday morning if no af signs but the boobs are already aching for her so who knows!

MrsH497 · 11/08/2019 10:00

@cupcakesandglitter not too bad thank you lovely waiting to test I'm 11dpo today had maybe an evap but not even a hint of a bfp other than that.

How are you?! Xx

Anny27 · 11/08/2019 09:47

@Lemonysherbet and @Lottiepink you are both cycle buddies together then! When will you test?

@Larrydavid did you use you femometer this morning?

@LokiCat did you test today??

Welcome to all the new ladies :D

I was very excited to see very noticeable EWCM this morning :D cycle day 13 and probably a day or two away from ovulation :)

ELW85 · 11/08/2019 08:59

@whatsthecraic91 - good on you, I hope the Chinese was nice?

@Larrydavid - you’re welcome :) I think sleeping closer to the floor could alter it, so maybe when you’re back at home? You’d still get a trend though, so whatever works for you!

@Lottiepink - it was great! I hope you’re having a lovely weekend?

cupcakesandglitter · 11/08/2019 07:35

Just popping on to see how things are going... @MrsH497 how are you? Xx

Imjustme2019 · 11/08/2019 07:09

@Lemonysherbet no you're not the only ones, he used to have a higher sex drive than mine. As long as you're happy that's the main thing. He's less stressed now so hopefully we'll get there one day if not this cycle. I was looking to try SMEP this time but just wasn't right/fair. You will get there like we all will.

Blossomingflower94 · 11/08/2019 06:49

@PrincessConsuela12 I really don't know! Part of me thinks give it a couple of months without OPK's and the other part thinks I may as well start early! I'll probably end up ordering some.

Sorry to hear about your ectopic :( Everything crossed for this month! I hope your TWW flies by xx

PrincessConsuela12 · 11/08/2019 01:03

How exciting @TTC100819, are you going to use OPKs/ monitor temp or just see how things go for a while?

This is my first month properly trying since my ectopic in December, I'm only 2 DPO, it's going to be a long two weeks!!

Macbless · 10/08/2019 21:55

@Lemonysherbet and @Sunshine8888 I think i’m A day ahead at 10dpo. My temp dropped right down today. This usually happens then my AF starts but so far nothing. Had some gentle cramps so although I’d like to believe it’s implantation dip I think i’ll soon be out this month 😬

MrsH497 · 10/08/2019 19:57

Hey @Jessikka hope you're well x

Lemonysherbet · 10/08/2019 19:40

Welcome back @jessikka 😁 how are you?

Jessikka · 10/08/2019 19:05

Hey Ladies. I'm back.... like a bad smell lol

I've been lurking in and out since thread 18.

Wanted to take a break - hope you're all well x

Lemonysherbet · 10/08/2019 18:56

@lottiepink very gentle cramps, but I get these sometimes anyway so I probably shouldn't read into it.
@sunshine8888 I've never felt for my cervix, I wouldn't know where to begin! I've only really dabbled with opks, mainly to understand my cycles, I get obsessed with things so trying to "take it easy" and not get too in control with it all. I dunno how long it will last 😂

TTC100819 · 10/08/2019 16:01

Hi all ... hope i'm not too late to jump on this thread.

Today my DP has agreed to stop using protection! We were waiting until we had a ££££ saved to make sure we were ready financially after buying a house last year.

So i'm currently on day 2 of my cycle and then we officially 'start trying'.

Good luck to everyone else on the thread :)

Larrydavid · 10/08/2019 15:57

@ELW85 ahhh thanks for the advice! I'm on a deflating air bed this weekend at a friends house so I'm not sure the reading will be accurate but I'll start ASAP. The fermometor is so beautifully designed! Thanks you for the offer of help - I'm sure I'll take you up on that as I have no idea what I'm doing.

@Anny27 thank you! Will start ASAP

@flossy12 about 29days. What about you? 👯 I knew I wasn't pregnant this month - I could just tell AF was coming - even though I had what could be considered pg symptoms. I'm hoping I'll be more chilled in the coming months.

@Lottiepink thank you.

I've just been for a three hour hike and am feeling better - Mitch better than the last couple of days. The build up of hormones before AF really do suck and it's so good when they go. Hope you're all having great weekends x

whatsthecraic91 · 10/08/2019 14:45

@ELW85 it cheered me right up and I will be having the same again tonight, I’ll maybe have strawberry & like cider instead of wine 😊 glad you had a lovely evening!

@MrsH497 wait a couple of days and retest! I am 🤞🏼🤞🏼 For you! Oh that’s annoying when that happens, I tell no one my names incase they steal them 😂😂
