Sorry if I have missed anyone off.

So how are we all getting on? Are we all trying for a Christmas baby or is anyone having a month off?
Cd7 for me xx

Tender breasts, but could just be premenstrual though I guess. I'm thrown by a friend telling me she had a dream I was pregnant a 2 weeks ago. That friend doesn't know we're actively trying though so it'd be really weird if I was!

I'm only 2DPO and trying to stay relaxed and not think about it too much this time.

Have you had any symptoms? Xx

Anyone else trying to distract themselves to stop testing too early? Today is 13 DPO and I promised myself I wouldn't test early as it only makes me upset. I already caved and tested on day 10, BFN, but that's really early I realise.

@Frankie2015
Oh I'm sorry ♥️
I really hope things sort themselves out cycle wise.
Sending lots of love and luck

Frankie2015 · 21/04/2021 13:49

@ohhisammi it's not the month for me I've done a few test since and all BFN. I'm now CD35 and no sign of AF so frustrating as my cycle is just all over the place, I had a hormonal blood test but came back normal so not sure what's next! Got another call with the doctor on Friday xx

ohhisammi · 21/04/2021 11:37

@Frankie2015
I don't see anything but like the others said it's still early, have you tested again ? ♥️🤞🏼

TheLovleyChebbyMcGee · 21/04/2021 11:17

Yes sorry Frankie, I don't see a line either, but 11 DPO is still really early. I'm currently 8 DPO and getting itchy fingers, even though I'm not due AF for another week.

I don't remember date watching this much last time, I have DS, age 2.5, maybe its because with lockdown there's not as much to do as before to distract me!

justwant2beamum · 15/04/2021 12:18

@Frankie2015 sorry I don't see anything just now but 11dpo is still super early I think a lot of people it shows up around 12-14dpo so you're not out yet!! 🤞🏻 for you

Frankie2015 · 15/04/2021 07:48

Think this isnt the month for me 😔 11dpo. I keep staring at it seeing if I can see a line but I know there isn't. So gutted, my cycles are so long and irregular not sure how long till I ovulate again

@Cakelaur other than being in shock I just feel like a crazy person.. Absolutely nothing is pleasing me my poor fiance can't speak without me being annoyed 🙈

Cakelaur · 14/04/2021 19:33

@1sttime21 CONGRATS!!! Great line! How are you feeling?

1sttime21 · 14/04/2021 19:30

@Frankie2015 you are definitely better holding off to save any disappointment.. I only tested early because I had been acting like a crazy lady😂I'm normally so happy but since my alarm went off yesterday morning everything and everyone has annoyed me! Let's hope it passes because it's even driving me mad

Frankie2015 · 14/04/2021 16:25

Bought 4 FRERs today. 🤦🏼‍♀️I'm on DPO10 trying to hold out till Friday but might have to take a test tomorrow I can't resist

JLL1990 · 13/04/2021 22:21

@Annannanna thank you so much for coming back to me. That’s v.encouraging. 😊

Natalie3387 · 13/04/2021 22:11

Thanks @1sttime21
I did IC at the same time and they were positive so I definitely got my LH surge around that time but whether I actually ovulated or not is another story!

1sttime21 · 13/04/2021 22:06

@Natalie3387 I'm definitely not a chart genius but as far as I understand you just have to have 3 days of higher temps than the ovulation dip to confirm ovulation. I don't trust the clear blue opk I done a trial for them and the day of peak smiley was totally wrong it was like 5 days too early

@JLL1990 Welcome! I think when you are pregnant cm is supposed to become creamy. I think any change from the normal is a good sign x

@justwant2beamum I'm still not quite believing it after a year of being disappointed! The only reason I tested was because I'm normally so cheery at work and today I hated everyone and everything 😂 I guess the hormones do crazy stuff to me

Natalie3387 · 13/04/2021 21:58

Hi ladies!
Hope you don't mind me joining 😊
Congratulations to all those with a bfp recently!
I'm TTC#1 following an early miscarriage in December.
Would anyone be able to look at my chart? I had a static smiley on clear blue advanced opk (peak result on cd16 and 17) but today (cd18) my temp has dropped, shouldnt it be on the rise?

Thanks in advance 😊

Omg @1sttime21 knew it!! Huge jump like that in rhr never fails! Congrats 🥳

1sttime21 · 13/04/2021 21:25

@Frankie2015 I'm feeling like a crazy lady😂 that's why I took a test.. I'm surprised nobody slapped me today at work the mood I've been in

JLL1990 · 13/04/2021 21:15

Hi all,

I am a long term reader but this is my first post. (I hope you don’t mind me gatecrashing.) My husband and I have been TTC since January.

I was hoping to get an some advice please. Towards the end of my cycle, about a week before AF my cervical mucus gets thicker and creamier. (Sorry to be gross!) I understand this happens after ovulation. If I were to conceive would this still happen?

Thank you for any information you can share.

Frankie2015 · 13/04/2021 21:05

@1sttime21 wow that's exciting!! Fingers crossed for you!! How are you feeling??

I've had a raging headache today and some cramps not sure if that AD or good sign! Too scared to test yet, holding out till Friday/Saturday

1sttime21 · 13/04/2021 20:42

@Annannanna in total shock🙈
