Testing Around 11th July

@Smiling124 x

If I'm right I won't be testing with you all around the 11th in July, but will have to see. Who knows what my body did this month 😂 Let me know if you do test again and how you get on x

Sorry to hear you got a BFN. Do you think you'll test again in the morning? I'm having absolute nightmare 🙈 Yesterday was the darkest OPK I've had and today it's gone back fainter again, so my app has put my ovulation day at today - CD34!! I can only guess that my body has tried several times to ovulate and failed. Praying my temp goes up tomorrow and can finally confirm ovulation, but means I'm starting the TWW all over again 😂 Means I'll have a 48 day cycle if my luteal phase is as long as it should be 🙄 Will just have to wait and see what my temp is tomorrow. X

@33Carr I'm really not sure 🤔 On the one hand it might be good to know what's going on, especially if it seems I'm not ovulating every cycle, as think I would then maybe then approach my GP. But on the other hand it is disappointing and is almost a daily disappointment when you see your temps aren't changing. My OH felt under too much pressure when I ramped it up to every day when I was getting positive OPKs 😂 so think we will just stick to every other day.

It's difficult isn't it. ATM I'm not really involving OH much apart from for DTD of course 🙈 I think if I told him about my charts and my concerns he would just tell me not to worry. That's good that he's keen to get checked out though. A friend mentioned to me that her OH did a test kit that you can get from Boots to check his, not sure if that might be worth looking into?

Oh god we have that same issue! I think we might just power through and if I'm pregnant for our wedding that's that. Having postponed once already from this year to next year I don't want to keep chopping and changing our plans. I have my dress already though, so not sure how that'll work out 😂 TBH as we are still hoping to do a small ceremony this year and the 'wedding' that we originally planned next year it's a bit different. Think only way I would put it back again is if we had a newborn or if I was about to pop!

Ohh that's a good idea about getting a second hand one. I'm not 100% sure on getting it starts with the egg as my diet and weight etc is pretty good already, but maybe if it hasn't happened in the next few months I might look at making some changes to my lifestyle x

@Smiling124 thanks ☺️ I honestly think I'll feel better when AF arrives! I've had cramps, backache and fatigue all week now, can't understand why she's not here as really feels like I should have come on by now. Would definitely recommend that book, it's quite a short read and lighthearted, but really informative too ☺️ X

@33Carr to be honest I'm kind of wishing I wasn't temping, as I've felt endlessly frustrated this cycle, don't think it's always a good thing to know so much. Feel like maybe we should have just decided to DTD every other day and left it at that. I'm not sure to be honest. I wasn't particularly aware of my cycles as a teenager, and I was on the pill from 17 until April this year. I seem to recal having fairly regular cycles though, although I don't think I would have noticed if I was a few days late.

Ah bless you, that's tough. Have you explained to him that you find he can be a bit insensitive sometimes? It's so difficult as I feel like our partners have no idea how wrapped up in all of this we get, and how emotional it all is. I feel kind of similar today - I want to just chill on the sofa with a film or a good series, but feel like I will be restless and won't be able to focus 🙈 I hate that mood so much.

I'm looking at 'It Starts With the Egg' there's another one on Amazon, taking charge of your fertility, or something, but it's £25 so quite an investment 😂 X

@33Carr I loved that book 😀 I think as a treat (ha!) I'll order myself another fertility book and some CB OPKs x

@33Carr I'm just laughing at myself now saying I'm 14DPO and then going on to say I don't think I ovulated as that makes no sense 🤦🏻‍♀️ If I'm going on the biggest LH surge I had, which was the first, then AF would be due today. My last cycle was 30 days though, and at the moment I'm on CD34. I've been feeling like AF is coming for about a week now and it's making me feel pretty crappy. Got a sinking feeling that this may turn into a really long cycle though 😕 Hopefully I'll prove myself wrong! Sorry I'm on a right downer today 🙄 How are you feeling? Xx

Morning all ☺️ Did a test at 6am as couldn't hold on for a wee any longer. Was a BFN at 14DPO, so think that's me out. Just want AF to arrive so I can get on with my next cycle. I'm fairly certain I didn't ovulate this cycle, given the multiple LH surges and no temp spike. Best of luck to those that are still waiting to test xx

@ForeverHopeful67 sorry to hear about AF, hope July will be your month xx
