Aw sorry the FRER is negative @scrumdiddly123, but it is early days.

@Ljm0101 that def looks like a line..🤞🤞

@Annny27 I did get EWCM this cycle! Delighted with it😂 sad the things that make you happy when TTC!still went for the preseed anyways cause had bought it. My opks have gotten lighter since that one.so premom telling me that was peak although only scored at 0.82. Haven’t used the one step ones before but the lines look a little watery compared to what I’m used to on the easy@home ones. Couldnt get them this time though. I’ll just keep going with them anyways and see does temp go up and keep dtd until then!!
And yours is looking almost peak..yay!and glad ur EWCM turned up for you too😄

Ljm0101 · 29/06/2020 17:24

@scrumdiddly123 you're definitely not out yet, 10 days is still early xx 😘 xx

Ljm0101 · 29/06/2020 17:23

@scrumdiddy123 no just the cheap ones but I might go and get a better one for tomorrow.
@ELM7 I can never usually see them either that's why I thought I was imagining it.
🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼 I'm keeping everything crossed. Xxx

ELM7 · 29/06/2020 17:19

@Ljm0101 I can see it too and I can never see them!! 🤞🏻 Tomorrow with FMU

scrumdiddly123 · 29/06/2020 17:17

Ooh @Ljm0101 that’s definitely a line!!! Eek! Have you got any different tests?
My FR was negative this afternoon 👎🏻 Only 10dpo though so not out yet!

Ljm0101 · 29/06/2020 16:57

Really @Anny27 ? I think I'm due af tomorrow, I have no idea to be honest as my body has been all over the place, I've got 3 apps on the go and they all vary from between 14th and 22nd so who knows. I've got a few cheap ones left so I'll do another one with fmu. Oh my god this could actually be happening. I'm so scared !!!

Annny27 · 29/06/2020 16:53

I can! @Ljm0101!! How many dpo are you??

OP posts:
Ljm0101 · 29/06/2020 16:45

So I just had the urge to do a test, it's only an internet cheapie on, can anyone else see a line? Or am I just desperate? Xx

Ooo @Annny27 it's definitely going in the right direction 🙌🏻🙌🏻

@scrumdiddy123 I can also see a shadow, fingers crossed your frer gives you a clearer result.

I've been so tired this last week, keep feeling like I need an afternoon nap 😂 and then not being able to sleep at all at night. According to my Flo app I'm due af tomorrow but who knows with how my body has been the last few months. Xx

Annny27 · 29/06/2020 12:47

Have had some ewcm now which makes me happy and potentially could be ovulating soon :D

OP posts:
Annny27 · 29/06/2020 10:19

Morning girls :) cd13 here as well - have had little to no ewcm this month! But am having quite dark opks, not positive but definitely high

@Ejb86 you have given us all hope in our bodies ability to take a bit of time and still be able to conceive :D

@scrumdiddly123 sorry it was a bfn this morning :( yes take a frer later or tomorrow!

@Nuggetlover27 no sign of ovulation in terms of cm but my opks look like they are darkening which is weird considering my lack of cm haha. When we dtd I will use some presseed to compensate!

@Leok83 thats definitely nearly positive how exciting:D have you had much ewcm? Attached is my opk from today

OP posts:
Leok83 · 29/06/2020 09:00

@scrumdiddly123 aw sorry it looks to be a BFN today..I can definitely see a shadow of a line there, I suppose it could be an evap but don’t lose hope yet and wait for the FRER!

I’m only CD13 and my OPK is looking like I might get to peak by tomorrow or even possibly ovulate! Never had it happen that early before!!cycle before last I got peak late on CD14 but otherwise i normally ov cd 16-17!

@Annny27 how’s your opk going?

scrumdiddly123 · 29/06/2020 08:49

Morning! Yes I tested this morning and looks like a BFN 👎🏻 I woke up feeling sick and with a banging headache so my body really is tricking me if I’m not 😖 will add a pic of yesterday’s test to see what you think. Mr Amazon delivery man is bringing me two FRERs today and some more cheapies so will no doubt test again later! 🤞🏻

Ljm0101 · 29/06/2020 08:10

Thank you @Ejb86 that's really good to know, I keep telling myself it takes time but like you said it's hard when you're so desperate for something to happen. Like I said I've given up with Opk's this month and just seeing what happens. This is my first month where I haven't had 2 af's so that's been nice in itself. Xx

Nuggetlover27 · 29/06/2020 08:07

Morning all

Thanks for the recommendation @Annny27 will have a look at these 2 OPKs for this month ☺️
Have you had any signs of ov yet?

@Fizzl hopefully they help things, I'm gonna have a mixture of the foods the internet recommends (not always wise to trust dr Google I know 😂) so pineapple, berries, spinach, avocado, citrus fruits. Willing to try it all haha

@Leok83 sounds like ov is any day for you now 🤞🏻

Sounds promising @scrumdiddly123 ! 🤞🏻🤞🏻!!

Ejb86 · 29/06/2020 07:53

@scrumdiddly123 have you tested?!

@Ljm0101 my neighbour is a health visitor and she told me 6-12 months is a perfectly normal length of time for things to get back to normal. It has taken me pretty much exactly 9 months to get my BFP after losing my girls at 16 weeks. Hadn't yet settled into a normal cycles, I think this was the first one where my body was truly ready. When I was out running, which I'd started a few weeks ago, i had a large hard blob of cm, twice. It was almost like a mucus plug I guess. At the time I wondered if that had been what was stopping me from conceiving. It could be coincidence, I dunno. What I mean to say is, give yourself time. I know it is easier said than done and how desperate we all are to conceive. I wish you all the luck x

Annny27 · 28/06/2020 22:35

Evening guys :)

@leok83 mm maybe because I am a bot dehydrated thats why I have not had much ewcm....Will drink loads tomorrow! my opks are dark at the moment (not positive but a definite 2nd line) who knows haha!

@scrumdiddly123 omg I really hope so!!!!! Let us know tomorrow 🤩 all the signs are there!

@fizzl yeah I would save money and cancel the private scan. They won't be able to show you anything only about cysts on ovaries if you did have any but I imagine you were scaned a fair bit at the epu which would have picked them up

@ELM7 love that attitude!! If I could have picked a month I would have picked 7 months ago haha!

Major TMI but if any of you need help getting in the mood for scheduled dtd.......watch 365 days on Netflix 🤣🤣 horrifically cringey and I didn't know what it was about before watching buts its very...um....steamy 🙈🙈🙈

scrumdiddly123 · 28/06/2020 21:53

Thanks @Leok83, I’m so bad for testing early and now I’m driving myself crazy because I just want to know! AF not even due until Thursday! 🤦‍♀️
Hope you’re ok and had a nice weekend? Fingers crossed for OV this week!

Leok83 · 28/06/2020 21:02

@scrumdiddly123 I just crossed posts there, that sounds so promising!! 🤞 for you and it's such early days to even see a shadow on a test!

Leok83 · 28/06/2020 21:01

@Ljm0101 that's really tough on you, hopefully this cycle it's better for you.xx

Leok83 · 28/06/2020 20:59

Evening everyone, hope the weekends been good for you all!!

@SunnySideUp2020 sorry AF arrived, hope you are getting to spend some quality time with your grandma and she's doing ok.

@Nuggetlover27 sorry AF arrived for you too. Definitely sounds like you may have ovulated later than you thought then so good plan to keep going with the opks this cycle!

@Annny27 I hope ovulation isn't too delayed for you! Don't want to lose my cycle buddy either until we both have BFPs 😄! Ya that makes more sense to classify that blob as sticky cause it's definitely watery now, a lot more than last month for me but I've been trying to make sure I'm drinking a lot of water as think I failed on this last couple months where didn't have much CM! I think my opk is getting slightly darker, the lines visible now whereas a couple days ago it was just white so as long as all the ducks line up hopefully I'll be ov in a few days.

@Fizzl it's definitely a male thing..I'd say deep down he probably believes now but it's hard to let go of the scepticism!!

@scrumdiddly123 and @ELM7 almost there ladies! When are you both thinking of testing or are you waiting for AF to show or not first?

scrumdiddly123 · 28/06/2020 19:25

Thanks @Fizzl and @Annny27, I’m getting more and more of an inkling that I might be pregnant. I had to stop eating my tea earlier as it was making me feel sick. I’ve gone from being constipated to having an upset tummy today and waves of dizziness even when sat down. Also was nearly sick this morning when cleaning my teeth which always happens when pregnant! Oh and my boobs are sore! I’ve taken a test not long ago and can see a shadow of a line but might just be in my head! I only have one cheapie left so will see what that looks like tomorrow 🤞🏻🤞🏻

Ljm0101 · 28/06/2020 19:06

Hi @Fizzl I got telephone appointment and she just said that it can take up to 6 months for your body to go back to normal. It has been hard more emotionally than physically, I'm hoping that this month is different as my last af was 31st May. I haven't been OPKing because I was getting fed up of the low readings 🙈. Xx

Fizzl · 28/06/2020 12:00

Morning everyone 😄

@ELM7 definitely need positive thinking. Our time will come I'm sure, just the wait and uncertainty of it all which can be frustrating!

@Nuggetlover27 fertility smoothies sound like a good plan. When I fell pregnant last year my staple breakfast was a smoothie. Could be pure coincidence and I wasn't actually doing it for fertility at the time but I've also read it can help. What will you put in your smoothie? We still sometimes have them now but not everyday, might need to convince my DH on this one!

@scrumdiddly123 that sounds like it could be a positive sign. Tentatively keeping everything crossed for you 😬🤞

@Ljm0101 2 af's a month sounds tough! Have you been to your gp?

@Annny27 hopefully your ovulation isn't too delayed! I feel your pain if it is, although I'm sure you won't. Think of it as your body is just ripening up a nice healthy egg 😉 (and hopefully you won't go over ripe like I did 😂). The scan was a private pelvic scan to see what was going on in there because of my lack of period. Now I'm fairly sure I've ovulated I don't know if it's worthwhile anymore or if I'm just wasting money 🤷🏼‍♀️

ELM7 · 28/06/2020 10:45

@Annny27 RHR dipped back down today so def not getting my hopes up. Just waiting for AF and then July WILL be my month I’ve decided (I wish it was this easy to just decide which month it was going to happen but going to try some positive thinking for the next cycle!)

Hope ovulation isn’t too delayed for you.
