Toot toot! The September bus is early...

@WantStickyBean

how often do you do opks I've been doing 3 a day and getting strong lines randomly and then weak ones but no true positives.

Did you BD every day from the flashing smiley or every other I'm finding it a bit tiring!

Sorry for v v personal questions !!!

@Capricorn8990 we do have lots of similarities haha!
I have felt sick today and hopeful it's due to hcg and not another illness !
I may crack and test tomorrow but trying to wait it out for as long as possible.

[quote Capricorn8990]@Coco9910 thank you for your lovely comment. I just want my period to arrive now so that I can have a fresh cycle. I'm not on cycle day 33 and my longest cycle was 35 days when I came off the pill, otherwise they've been 28-31 😔 lots of love and baby dust to you too ✨ I hope you're well!

@hoola23
It does indeed. I'm sorry you've had such stress too. I really think education in schools needs to be updated as they don't talk enough about the emotional struggles of trying for a baby but teach you that if you have sex without protection you're gonna get pregnant!! I know when you're in your teens you're very fertile but it's really misconstrued. I've been having counselling for OCD so I've discussed this too as I become very obsessed. It's hard not to I guess. Thank you so much 💕 I hope you're doing okay!

@mummytoolive thank you hun. I was but when I was on the phone to her she double backed and said she wasn't sure if it was okay to take when trying to conceive so it put me of a little! I've got an appointment with the specialist endometriosis nurse on 7th September I'm just hoping my trainer will allow me to go. It's early in the morning so I don't see why not. Yep I must be positive with that result. She did say I had a ruptured follicle which is apparently normal when the egg releases, who knew? How're you? 💗 [/quote]
@Capricorn8990 yes sometimes the wait for AF to arrive feels almost as long as the TWW. Hope it arrives soon for you and sending lots of love for the next cycle 💕 x

Should have scrolled & read posts before I commented ha!
Congratulations everyone with your BFPs!
Hopefully lots more to come 🤞🏻

@WantStickyBean Thanks for setting this up! Currently on AF however, fertile window is due week of honeymoon 😏🤞🏻🤞🏻
Good luck everyone - hopefully it's BFPs for all!

@Capricorn8990 don't they just 😭 just gonna have to wing it this month and hope for the best - suppose thats not much different than the last 8 months haha. Moving into month 9 and feeling deflated xx

@Missy95 our bodies love to trick us! I would go with the Saturday just gone xx

@mummytoolive thank you - I hope so!! Yeah I'm pleased about that too. Shows it's doing what it should be. Awhh no we've both been poorly, are we the same person lol?! That's good news!! When do you plan on testing? Xx

@Dobcaty you're welcome! Ohhh I see! Wow I never ever have heard of that. I hope you get the results that you want xx

Hi all. I wondered if anyone could help please. I was spotting last week Monday - Saturday (very very lightly) and AF properly arrived Saturday - present. What would you count as cycle day 1? My cycles have never been like this before so im not sure what to think xx

Amazing to see so many BFP's already. Fingers crossed the trend continues into September!

Just reserving a seat, we have officially been 'trying' for #3 for a year. 4 losses in and I'm hanging on with all the strength I have left that we will get our rainbow and final piece of our family puzzle......

Wow big congrats to all the BFPs coming through 💝💝💝

@Capricorn8990 hopefully the appointment with the nurse is helpful for you hun!
Also proof you're ovaries are releasing eggs too that's brill.
I'm ok here, just getting over a sickness bug which I fear may have affected my chances this month. We have dtd regularly without more than a 48 hour gap but tried to chill with the testing as it was making me stress. I'm cycle day 32 today and no AF so far 🤞🏽🤞🏽

[quote Capricorn8990]@hoola23 haha same!! How has acupuncture been for you? Will you be going private for IVF if you don't mind me asking? Yep definitely, talking always helps! Love to you x

@Dobcaty I'm also late and did a FRER which was negative. We're not out until AF shows though. I've no signs of my AF coming either! Let's hope it's good news for us both x[/quote]
Thanks for your kind words, yes you're right, although this was the first cycle when I took progesterone gel which can cause this. Clinic asked to stop using, and call back when af arrives and then we're going to do some test, specially testing for testosterone as I have a twin brother whose hormones might effected me when we were in the womb..🤷🏻‍♀️

@Bundaberg84

Usually 29 days and previously I have had a peak on cd18 with clearblue, so my true peak may just not have arrived yet I feel like I'm trying to interpret the cheapie opks so much.

My cycles have been so badly effected by the jab though so I'm not sure when to expect it. Feels positive that I'm getting strong lines but couldn't say they were true positives.

I think I will just do every other day until I get a peak and then do every day. I'm getting tired haha

@ViL89 how long are your cycles normally? I use the cb fertility monitor and its shows a lot of high before I'll get my peak. Unfortunately my monitor re-set itself because I forgot to change the batteries, so I had to start a new cycle (it learns from the past cycles). I had highs from cd 8-17, got a peak yesterday at cd18 - I have 30 day cycles.

Would you guys say this is a positive opk?

@Capricorn8990 I only had my first session last Friday so I can't really report back as yet! It was quite relaxing though! I think we will have to go private as my DH already has two children from his first marriage and apparently you then don't qualify for anything on the NHS sadly!

@ViL89

I used the easy at home strips off Amazon. I tested once a day after my period and then around CD12 started testing twice a day. Then BD everyday in my fertile window.

@ViL89 I think I caught it as I have intense ovulation pain and my lines were dark.. I guess I don't fully know as I don't temp but I'm just assuming 🤷🏼‍♀️😂

@ViL89 I use the femometer app to track my OPKs and BBT and it’s great (and free!)

@RKEE thank you! Fingers crossed for you too 🥰

@hoola23 haha same!! How has acupuncture been for you? Will you be going private for IVF if you don't mind me asking? Yep definitely, talking always helps! Love to you x

@Dobcaty I'm also late and did a FRER which was negative. We're not out until AF shows though. I've no signs of my AF coming either! Let's hope it's good news for us both x

Congratulations @WantStickyBean and @Emily199034

Can I ask how you ladies think you caught ovulation. I've been doing clearblue advanced sticks and cheap opks. I'm on CD13 today and have had the flashing smilies on clearblue since CD9 have been backing these up with the OPks. I've been getting definite lines but never quite as dark or darker than the control line which they say it has to be to be a positive result.

I'm away o holiday at the moment so not temping but been DTD most days. We're home tomorrow and worried to miss the important days.

I've attached a pic of this mornings OPK do you think this is a positive it's only slighter fainter! Will do more later!!

Xxxxx
