August might be pact might be madness part 2

@Tigger1987 @MrsB2019x @Sansa87 hopefully I'm not going crazy then if you can all see something! Really hoping AF doesn't arrive today 🤞

@whambam89 looks like a bfp to me! And that tugging was definitely a symptom I remember!

@whambam89 I see it! Hopefully it gets stronger over the next few days! 🤞

@whambam89 I can see the line!! How exciting. Yes a FRER would be a good shout. Let us all know how you get on!!

@BuckleUp Thank you :) Stark white this morning so think it was just an evap yesterday. Due AF tomorrow I think so we shall see.

Hate to be "that person" but here's one with the flash on, think it's clearer on this...

@BuckleUp might see if I can get hold of a FRER for the morning. I've got a couple of strip tests that I'll no doubt do before the end of the day hahaha. Still got a light ache on the side I had the "tugging" last night and boobs are still sore this morning too. I've not told OH yet, going to wait until I get a strong line 🤞

@whambam89 I think I can see a shadow of something. 11dpo is still pretty early, hopefully it develops into a stronger line over the next few days!

Yep see that!!

Can anyone see anything here?? It's not a sensitive test and I'm only 11dpo but 100% sure that I can see something and it came up within the time I was cleaning my teeth... Don't want to get my hopes up but maybe!

@Tigger1987 Thanks! I hope you enjoyed your holiday, it sounds perfect! Keeping my fingers crossed your line gets darker 🤞🏻

@Sansa87 Impressed you managed to DTD in this heat! Some people seem to get nearly 15 days of flashing smilies when they use a new holder. I think it's something to do with it getting to know your baseline. I've never used one so don't really know.. I hope you get your peak soon

@whambam89 I don't want to get your hopes up too much but I had that tugging feeling too.. You never know!

@stickytoffeepud1991 You only need to DTD once at the right time. DH and I only managed twice during the fertile window this cycle and must have got lucky with timing! It must be lovely living on the coast at the moment 😊

@duckii Sorry you're out but pleased your cycles seem to be getting shorter. Take the opportunity to treat yourself to a refreshing drink and some yummy food x

@MrsB2019x You don't know you're out until AF shows. Some people seem to get their BFP a few days after AF is due. Keep us up to date!

@LeopardLover Your BBT sounds promising! Are you testing tomorrow if AF doesn't arrive today? It's been far too hot for DIY - I'm very impressed!

Sorry af came @duckii
@Sansa87 I’ve read quite a lot of people havjng non stop flashing smilies on those but when they’re testing at the same time with fermometer opks for example that will be positive

@whambam89 I get that tugging every month too I’m not really sure what it is x

It’s not as hot here as down south but it’s still too hot to be in fw!!! We managed to dtd last night thankfully. Think we’ll end up with just this and the weekend this cycle. Think I’ll ovulate sun or around there. We tried for most days last 2 cycles but there is just no way that is happening this time. I guess it only takes the once

@LeopardLover when we got our bfp In June, we’d managed 3 times in the fw.

Another flashing smiley 😩 this is day 7, & I’m on cd 18... it’s not looking great kids 😩

Really thought my body would get back to normal quite quickly. The lines are definitely getting darker. I only had 3 flashing smilies last time, so I’m not a fan of this.

Morning gang!

@whambam89 Oh fair enough haha, that would make tracking BBT harder! Not to get your hopes up but the tugging symptom is one I want and an indicator of early pregnancy so fingers crossed!! My BBT is being really annoying and just flatlining 😅

@duckii It's such great news you're getting the cycle length down - maybe even less this cycle!! AF is due today according to my apps and I'm still having light cramps so I'll give it until Friday. Nothing exciting happening with my BBT so fully expecting it!

@stickytoffeepud1991 It was 32 here yesterday and we were trying to paint the house. I spent most of my time laying on the floor in protest 😉 Remember it only takes once! I'm interested to know how often our BFP friends managed to DTD during the FW - I think twice popped up a few times. I'm wondering if we're overdoing it 🤣

@Sansa87 Haha well done 😉

@Sansa87 Bravo!! 👏🏅 I wouldn’t be able to do it!!

@stickytoffeepud1991 Jealous of whatever coast you’re on, we’re on the south coast and it was 33 here today 😩 it’s still 22 now!

AF didn’t arrive today but sure she’ll show her ugly face tomorrow.

@whambam89 it may be nothing, but I had that as one of the symptoms when I had my bfp.

& I feel I should make some sort of social media post because god damn it’s hot tonight! Anyone who has managed it deserves a medal.

We have indoor cats so can’t even have the windows open 😂

I really hope I get my peak in the next couple of days and this is just a slightly longer cycle

@Sansa87 well done! Love how you've come on here to tell us haha 😂

New "symptom" which probably isn't a symptom... A kind of tugging / sharp pain almost, on the left hand side of my uterus. Been going on for around 10 mins now... Probably nothing but I'm clearly getting to that crazy symptom spotting stage!

Can I have a high five as we managed to dtd! I still don’t know if I’m going to ovulate or what’s going on with my body after the mmc, but I’m damn proud of us!

Hi girls!
Thanks for new thread!!
I went to post on the old one and it said thread closed! 😂
I’m not sure how many dpo I am I want to say 6dpo?? I’m not even sure if I ovulated this month as I didn’t have much ewcm however I know my BBT was raised as I was a right sweaty mess then again could of been the heat. I’m a bit shit at this still. And also the fact we only dtd once during ov cause it turned from massaging my back to sex 😂🤔.

Hope everyone is doing okay in this heat!! It’s been 24 here today which is quite high for us as we live on the coast! Xx

@LeopardLover I usually average around 45 days but my recent cycles have become shorter which is great so I would say around 37 days now.
There's still hope for you! Are you going to test or waiting till after AF date?

Just marking me spot in here x

Thanks for the new thread @claireb707! Have been following all your news, I should have had AF start on Saturday, noticed cramping all last week and now nothing and no positive test. Maybe my body's properly readjusting after coming off bc?

@Tigger1987 I had a 10 day LP last month too so if AF doesn't arrive tomorrow it'll be my longest since methotrexate. I didn't use OPKs before so not sure what my LP was, but I think it was longer than I've had the last few months. I am taking Vit B complex to try and lengthen it so maybe it's just that! Or perhaps my body is just getting back to normal.

@LeopardLover no I don't track BBT - I think it would be too inaccurate considering I wake up at different times (basically whenever DD wakes up!) And she wouldn't be patient enough to wait a few mins so I could do it before I moved 😂
