New thread for the crazy gang part 2!

Hows everyone feeling today ladies?? CD9 for me, got a weird feeling ovulation might happen a day or 2 early for me this month!

OH just had a new job offer, a nice 8k pay rise which will make a HUGE difference. SO happy for him! However I think he is going to feel uncomfortable if we get a BFP now just as he's starting a new job. Talk about timing.

@Ellsbells112 thank you x

Thanks @Mumofboys17 x
Ladies do you take primrose oil only up until ovulation or the whole cycle? x

@Katie1109 I definitely find my LH fluctuates a bit especially at the beginning of my cycles, I'd normally get a medium looking OPK straight after AF then stark white a few days after, then darkens again as approaching FW xx

@Langpants I agree with @Quiffy maybe try a different brand if AF is still a no show xx

Thanks Quiffy- glad to know I’m not imagining it. Might head out to get FRER from the chemist rather than from Amazon. Will test again tomorrow. Dentist cancelled today so don’t need to worry about it.

@Langpants I can defo see something there! It is faint though, but hcg can take 2 or 3 days to double. Maybe get a different batch of frer for peace of mind or a different brand?

@Symptomspotter86 you're going through a lot atm

Morning! Af still not here. Still got mild cramps like af is coming... and still a barely there (am-I-imagining-it) line.

I have the dentist for x rays today so not sure whether to go ahead or not? The fact it’s not darker than yesterday makes me think it’s just a dodgy batch of tests?! 😢

@Fredthespider congratulations! Xx

@Fredthespider congratulations that is awesome news! So glad there are some BFP's on here. Really hope this is it for you lovely!

No sign of AF today, but have awful bloating and cramps today and I've cried a lot today over the smallest things and some big things (like my BFN and more house and work stress). Feel very stressed about a lot of things at the moment but trying to stay positive. We move house this month finally, and have a holiday to look forward to in march. I had dinner tonight with my pregnant friend (the one who got pregnant with both kids first month of trying) and she asked me if I was "trying" and I just said no. I couldn't deal with the questions and wanted to change the subject quickly after my chemical this week.

Thank you! Fingers crossed it is!

Fingers crossed for some BFP's and congratulations for all those that have got theirs!

Hi girls, been off for a while and I've just been catching up.

@Fredthespider congratulations, it's so good to see more bfps coming though!

@Lushfanatic123 is would say that's your first proper bleed.

I think I'm out this month. I'm having terrible bloating and cramps, mostly just on one side. I was feeling so hopeful at the weekend because I was having vivid dreams and a metallic taste in my mouth. I just think it's pms now. AF is due between Saturday and Tuesday so I might wait and see instead of test. (Say this now with all the hope, we'll see how I dare by Friday...)

I think I'm going to get a doctor's appointment booked in soon. I've been off contraception since November 2017, didn't have a cycle until January 2018, we stopped trying for a bit and only really started again in July. Thankfully DH is very happy to have some tests too.

@Fredthespider

Thank you for your response!

I'm hoping it means my cycles are back to normal. It was 29 days between them. Guess I'll have to see.

@Lushfanatic123 that sounds like a proper period to me!

@BFP2020 thanks x yeah I think I read that somewhere too x
@Beau2020x thank you x I think I need couple more days to get back to my normal self x glad you’re feeling positive xx

@BFP2020 ahhhh thanks for the info! It would make sense!

@katie1109 how are you feeling today? I'm feeling much more positive this cycle and actually quite excited? I'm passing some of my positivity your way just incase you need some! X

Hi,

TTC first baby!

Finished my pack of Cilest on the 3rd January (took my last one in the packet). Had a period or withdrawal bleed on the 6th January for 4/5 days.

Had a whole month without the pill now and have come on again today (4th Feb). Does this count as a withdrawal bleed or a true period?

I'm confused!

Any help?

Many thanks

@Katie1109 @Beau2020x just a suggestion but have seen it happen on another few threads (13 months of threads 🤦🏻‍♀️) LH can be stronger after a chemical therefore you get darker lines earlier! But also you are more fertile after a chemical so fingers crossed this will be both yer months. Xx

@Katie1109 yeah that is definitely strange I can't lie! Do you always have a line? For me it would be really weird as I only get the 2nd line for about 5 days. But I suppose if you always have one then it wouldn't be as weird?

@Beau2020x glad my post made you do it lol x it seems like the LH fluctuates throughput the cycle then x I was just surprised by such dark one on CD 2! x

Well that's weird. Mine is on the low end of high CD8. I didn't even get a squinter on mine last time until CD11 and a line like this until CD13 🤷🏼‍♀️ mine are usually stark white until I'm about 5 days within ovulation.

Good job I did a random test now otherwise probs would have missed it because I wasn't going to start until CD12 😂

@Beau2020x thanks x there is always a line on mine, but this seems a bit too dark for CD2 - it’s reading as high on my app.

@Ellsbells112 @danni2019 I also have pain when I try and go for a #2 around my period and ovulation but I'm pretty sure I don't hate endo (at least I don't think so) 😂

@Katie1109 that's weird. I've never done one on my period but mine are stark white until about 3 days before ovulation and then goes stark white again straight after. I've never done one any other time but I'm on CD8 might go do one now 🤷🏼‍♀️

Hey ladies X out of curiosity, what does your opk look like while on period? I have just did mine to see what my base of LH would be like and have done it in the last couple of cycles but this one is darker than others - thats about an hour wee hold x
