Thought the old one was getting a bit full so I'd start a new one. I'll attempt tagging as many as I can

@flossy12 I would never tell what was a definite positive until a few days later when I could see them getting lighter. The last couple of months I've been using fermometer to help me (also saves me writing on the strips and keeping them lined up on the toilet cistern! 😆)

flossy12 · 25/08/2019 17:25

Guys would we class this as positive? Been the same since yesterday but Glo is still saying negative 🤷🏼‍♀️🤷🏼‍♀️

Eeesssh Mumsnet somehow deleted all the threads I was on?! Had to go on google, remember the title of this thread and search for it.
Hoping this comment will put in back on threads I'm watching/on.
Hope people have a lovely weekend enjoying the weather. We're off to a vegan dub garden party with a Caribbean music and food& cocktails - but all vegan!
CD5, after 2 months off let the SMEP begin again! 😆

Larrydavid · 25/08/2019 11:39

Hey ladies, hope you're all well! I have barely any internet so will read through thread when I'm back from the festival! SMEP in 30 degree heat, in a tent is testing but also pretty hilarious- good luck to everyone else in this warm weather! Luckily we're glamping and have a proper bed otherwise we may have sacked off this month 😂

@Lozzlepop Congratulations! Such wonderful news - and a great line xx

@Lemonysherbet I'm so sorry - take care of yourself. 💛

Will catch up with other messages when I'm back 💜

Lemonysherbet · 25/08/2019 11:32

Thank you for all the love ladies, it means a lot. Isn't it amazing how you can bond with people youve never met. Xx

Lottiepink · 25/08/2019 10:48

@Lozzlepop congratulations 😊

@Lemonysherbet so sorry to hear that 😢 take care of yourself x

@Anny27 I feel like I could maybe see a little tiny something. But can't be sure! When are you testing again?

Hope you are all having a lovely bank holiday weekend 😊

flossy12 · 25/08/2019 10:17

@Anny27 I know 😆 OH is on the ball this weekend 👏🏼 DSS mum messaged this morning kicking off and stated 'why don't you go and have your own family' hasn't given me the best start to the day 😒

MrsH497 · 25/08/2019 09:35

@Lozzlepop I'm cd 15 it's all just a bit weird. If I did ovulate early we missed it as I don't OPK until cd 7/8. Could just be a non ovulating cycle which would also be annoying! DTD anyway just in case! X

Morning ladies!

Thank you so much for all the kind words and support it really does mean the world ❤️

@Lemonysherbet I’m so sorry to hear about your MC I know exactly how you will be feeling, it’s such a draining experience, and I know exactly what you mean that it brings you closer- it really does! A great thing though is that you know you can get pregnant which is the first hurdle, be kind to yourself and let your hair down a little then try again when the time is right ❤️

@MrsH497 what CD are you Hun? Sorry to hear you are having a rough time, sending lots of love your way!

@ELW85 ❤️❤️

@LokiCat I know, it’s just the start of the worrying, just want to get to the early scan!

@PrincessConsuela12 I am 5 + 2 today, first milestone is to get past 6 weeks as that’s when I had my last MC

@LikeTheFruit thank you so much lovely 😘

@ValidUser I had everything crossed that this is your month 🤞🏻

@XjustagirlX are you testing with IC or FRERs?

@Anny27 when are you testing next lovely?

Sorry if I have missed anyone, hope everyone has a fab Sunday planned! We are off out with the family to enjoy the sun ☺️☺️ Have a great day ladies and good luck to anyone Reston’s / SMEPing- stay hydrated lol!

Gemster19 · 25/08/2019 08:29

Congratulations @Lozzlepop!

@Anny27 when are you testing again?

So sorry to hear your news @Lemonysherbet Thanks.

I'm not sure what is going on over here - I woke up to some spotting on Friday, bang on time for AF, which turned into what seemed like a proper bleed that morning but stopped dead by the afternoon and absolutely nothing since. Totally unlike me, and if anything I was expecting a heavy AF this month as my first in July after MC was so short and light. Tested this morning with a CB early detection and got the squintiest squinter you've ever seen in your life. Surely I'd have a half decent line on an early test by what should be 16DPO?!

MrsH497 · 24/08/2019 20:02

@Anny27 possibly and would just add to the weird cycles! Would've missed it this cycle as well because of shifts!

OP posts:
Anny27 · 24/08/2019 19:08

@flossy12 good going on the SMEP! Twice in one day in this heat is dedication 🤣

@XjustagirlX i dont have any experience with long cycles and latest bfp sorry! But if it goes on for another week i would suggest getting blood tests to confirm if you arent pregnant as i have heard of some women dont tesr positive but can still be pregnant!

@MrsH497 could you have ovulated early?

XjustagirlX · 24/08/2019 17:15

I’ve still not had AF and I’m now CD39. My longest cycle was 35 days but it’s usually 30 or 32. Had a BFN this morning.

Symptoms - I have tingly nipples, cramps on both sides, and lots of creamy CM.

I don’t know what to think. If I’m not pregnant where is AF. I just want her to appear now so I can get on with the next cycle.

How late can AF be while still getting a BFP?

flossy12 · 24/08/2019 15:42

@MrsH497 I know! We had 3 days of no BD and I was really annoyed about it, OH must have picked up on that as we had a 'exciting' morning and then again at lunch 😅😅 no idea what's got into him!!

MrsH497 · 24/08/2019 15:34

Good on you @flossy12 !! DTD twice already!
I know I said I wouldn't OPK but stark negatives at CD 14 which is a bit unusual

OP posts:
flossy12 · 24/08/2019 15:30

@Lozzlepop congrats!! 💕

@Lemonysherbet so sorry to hear that darling 😢😢

Haven't caught up on everything girls sorry!

Being doing my SMEP and OPKs and this is today's line at CD17! Exciting times! Glow has taken it as negative but hopefully tomorrow's will be positive 😆 DTD twice today already! OH is on the case this weekend!

@Lemonysherbet so sorry to hear your sad news :(

Anny27 · 24/08/2019 13:42

Thanks everyone for your thoughts:) time will tell i guess! But i do have bigger boobs (and slightly darker nipples) so everything seems promissing but you never know do you.

@validuser good luck for this month!

Anyone else due to test this week?

ValidUser · 24/08/2019 12:17

@Lemonysherbet so sorry to hear that. X

ValidUser · 24/08/2019 12:16

@Lozzlepop congratulations!

@Anny27 I think I see something on that. Should have ovulated - I stopped temping. Trigger shot tends to work. But I had an almost positive opk (just done for fun) yesterday, so will keep dtd!

LikeTheFruit · 24/08/2019 09:54

@Lozzlepop congratulations lovely lady. I've got absolutely everything crossed for this being the sticky one you deserve. Would love to see you on the grads thread when you feel the time is right 💕💕💕

PrincessConsuela12 · 24/08/2019 09:35

@Lozzlepop That's a really strong line! How far along do you think you are?

@ELW85 It really is. I've woken with with a cold this morning, I've heard it's pretty common but boo to it happening over a bank holiday weekend 😩😂

@Anny27 I have tuned my brightness up & zoomed in, I can see something... FX it's a positive line 🤞🏽😊

LokiCat · 24/08/2019 09:32

@Lozzlepop oh! Huge congratulations lovely! Those lines are beautiful. I know how anxious this time can be and I have everything crossed for you that this pregnancy is a healthy. I have every hope that you'll see a beautiful scan when you go in! I'm so, so pleased for you 💕

@Anny27 I can see a very faint line (I did have to turn my brightness up!). Everything crossed for you! 💕

@Lemonysherbet so sorry for your loss again lovely. Thinking of you 💕

Sunshine8888 · 24/08/2019 09:19

@Lozzlepop congratulations!! Great line there 😊

@Lemonysherbet I’m so sorry to hear that ☹️ It’s so cruel. Glad DH is being really supportive and it’s bringing you closer, as these things should 💕💕💕

MrsH497 · 24/08/2019 09:05

@Lemonysherbet so sorry for your loss it's such a tough thing to go through. Glad you're feeling stronger though x

@Lozzlepop I'm ok meant to be in fertile week but OPKs would disagree. I'm trying to be laid back but it's not working all I can think is 10 months I really didn't think it would take us this long
