Hi all,

I joined a similar thread last month and found it really supportive. It’d be great to hear from others.

We’ve been trying for number 2 for two years now and each month gets more emotionally difficult. Xx

@Skyla01 @SmileyT thank you ladies. I really can’t remember which days it was, it was a weekday as I was working but they all blend into one a bit atm! It was around when the app said. I remember when I was trying in a past life and one month I went cd 40 before af. Total anomaly and I was regular before and after that month so I’m thinking I might just have a really long month again.

@wishfulthinking101 I’m sorry to hear that, it really knocks you doesn’t it. Fingers crossed next month is our month

wishfulthinking101 · 11/05/2020 17:12

Same here... just caved and did a FRER and it came back negative... just got to wait for AF now. 😭😭 Good luck everyone!

SmileyT · 11/05/2020 17:02

@Twinkletoes85 definitely not out until AF arrives as you say you haven't been tracking closely so may be a few days out, how many days ago did you see the fertile CM? If you haven't had regular periods sometimes it will predict random days on apps aswell. Stay hopeful xx

Skyla01 · 11/05/2020 16:17

Oh sorry to hear that. You aren't out until AF arrives though so see how you get on over the next few days.

Twinkletoes85 · 11/05/2020 16:04

@SmileyT thanks, caved in and tested this aft and no joy it’s a BFN. On to the next month

Skyla01 · 11/05/2020 15:59

That looks good @kim160790, fingers crossed it all works out for you.

kim160790 · 11/05/2020 15:53

Thank you guys didn't expect a BFP in the afternoon so I was defo shocked. Let's hope it sticks! Had a mmc end of last year so bit wary especially as I've been having cramps since ovulation and didn't have this with my boys 🤞

raspberryjamlove · 11/05/2020 15:43

Congrats on your BFP @kim160790 super exciting🥳🥳

SmileyT · 11/05/2020 14:30

@Twinkletoes85 good luck with testing tomorrow, will definitely come up with any test if AF is late 🤞

Congrats @kim160790 🥳

kim160790 · 11/05/2020 14:07

I used the clear blue early detection one as 4 days away from AF... hoping it sticks as I've been having cramps and backache since I guess "suspected" ovulation. Not sure what to think and I've had absolutely no CM whatsoever either?

I'm so done with those IC tests, never buying any more. I've had 5 evaps now and one of them was with water instead of urine. My PMS is making me feel like shit so bring on AF! 😡

Twinkletoes85 · 11/05/2020 13:21

@Skyla01and @lucymagoo I had my last depo in September which worse off in November. It was February when my periods came back.

I feel like it’s probably a bit early for it to have fallen on given the reputation the depo has really.

I will keep my fingers crossed for you that it happens soon!!

lucymagoo · 11/05/2020 13:15

I was on the depo and had my last shot a year ago when I got engaged. I heard it can take ages to leave your system so this seemed like a good deadline to move onto the pill. Hope hasn't affected us too much, it took 3 months to get a withdrawal bleed after coming off the pill so who knows!

Skyla01 · 11/05/2020 13:11

@Twinkletoes85 6 months can still feel like a really long time though. I have heard of cycles taking ages to come back after depo. We've been trying for 14months so I hope we get some luck soon.

Twinkletoes85 · 11/05/2020 11:41

@skyla01 thank you. Been trying 6 months but was on the depo so wasn’t really expecting anything quickly as they say it can take 12-18 months.

How long have you been trying?

Skyla01 · 11/05/2020 11:37

Yes fmu is usually best. Plus another day for hcg hormone to build up. Fingers crossed for you- let us know how you get on! How long have you been trying for?

Twinkletoes85 · 11/05/2020 11:28

@skyla01 I might go for it tomorrow then I can get first of the day as that’s supposed to be the best time isn’t it?

Skyla01 · 11/05/2020 11:25

@Twinkletoes85 I would test. If you are late a cheap test should still pick it up. If it's negative wait for AF and maybe order a new test later in the week if needed?

Twinkletoes85 · 11/05/2020 11:19

@smileyT only cm. I’ve been trying not to get too obsessed (tried with an ex and drove myself a bit mad tracking). The signs have been there when I think and when the app suggested I’d be ovulating.

I’ve only got a bit of a cheap Sainsburys test in and I’m a bit worried about testing too early

Skyla01 · 11/05/2020 11:15

Sorry for those who have AF / bfn. I'm still in the game but trying really hard not to get my hopes up / think about it.

@Twinkletoes85 if you are a few days late then that sounds like a good time to take a test. Good luck!

SmileyT · 11/05/2020 11:10

@Twinkletoes85 if you are two days late seems like a great time to be testing 🙌🏾 are you tracking ovulation at all?

lucymagoo · 11/05/2020 10:18

Yeah it's still a little unpredictable, I came off the pill in December. One app says due today and other days Friday but I'm CD 24 so has to be soon Smile

Twinkletoes85 · 11/05/2020 09:46

@sussexbysea I thought it should have arrived on Thursday. The app I’m using adjusted the dates to go longer as I have once before and now that’s telling me I’m two days late
