Toot toot! The September bus is early...

@purpleskyssssss 🤞🏽 your temp raises soon xx

I have used my clearblue before but never used the lh strips alongside but thought by this darkness I would have had my flashing smiley 🤷🏾‍♀️ who knows!

Keep testing @Lianna93 fingers crossed for you

@positiveovernegative I hear many ppl say on the first month of clear blue it's getting used to what your 'normal' is so often ppl will go straight to peak or just get circle the way through? I personally prefer the easy at home ones and I deffo think they look like they are going the right way!

I'm CD 23 got peak 2 days ago, had ewcm and right ov pain, but my temp still hasn't shifted 😖 really hoping tomorrow I have a temp rise - really don't want to be out this month with not ovulating as will be going onto one year ttc in October 😟

Posted on another thread but wondered if anyone could help here.
This month is my first tracking my ovulation with both Clearblue and LH strip
Still not got a flashing face on my clearblue but my lh strips are progressing well (I thought I would have had a flashing smiley by now)
Does this look normal, photo attached ?

Sorry to hear that @storkstalk and @ViL89. This only cycle 2 for us but all the waiting around every month takes ages! I can't imagine being 6 months in.

Good luck to everyone in the tww, I'm 4dpo and have the usual sore boobs but trying not to symptom spot. Things are super busy here and I recently got promoted so hopefully I won't be too obsessed.... But we'll see!

Hoping you ovulated @Lianna93, I had two peaks this month but bbt confirmed I ovulated the second time on cd20!!! Testing is a bit stressful but if I hadn't been testing I'd definitely have missed that! I'd keep going so you don't miss anything.

Currently on CD22. Mommed opk have all given me really faint lines, indicating I'm not ovulating. However, clearblue have given me 4-5 high fertility days but no peak so far. Unsure if I've missed it or if I'm due to peak in the next day or so. However BBT had a massive spike at 38.1°C then dropped down to 36.5°C.
Have no clue what's going on.
Due AF on the 1st but my cycle is never consistent.

I Posted a few months ago about delaying TTC until getting fully vaccinated. Well we've done that and also skipped the month after the 2nd jab, just in case.
Now on month 2 TTC and trying to not get too caught up in it. Had a really short luteal phase last month (8 days or so) which is weird because when I was tracking with DS1, my luteal phase was always 14 days. Wondering if it's because I'm still nursing... Managed to DTD a few times before ovulation but not the day before as DH was at a wedding. Boo! 2 DPO now so it's back to the old waiting game

@Willow1982ill it's so tough isn't it I started this process feeling excited and now it's just the most heartbreaking process every month

I feel like I always miss ovulation and always kicking myself about it despite testing so much

I am feeling so rubbish today that I think it's PMS to be honest and that I'm a few days late I would definitely have expected a BFP being actually late

I want to come off MN and stop testing but just worried about the risks of that as well

Best of luck to you and hopefully we will both be feeling more positive soon

@ViL89 I have been feeling exactly the same this cycle and last, totally deflated by it all, I have tried to take the easy going approach, but like you say you don’t want to miss an opportunity, I’m on cycle 6 now, I used more internet cheapies this cycle rather than testing with the monitor each day, I’m finding keeping up with buying the clear blue sticks quite expensive now! currently about 3dpo! Already thinking what can I try next month to increase my chances!!
Hopefully your AF will not show and you do get lucky xx🍀

CD 33 I'm 4 days late but got BFN on first response and others

Feeling totally deflated

Next month is cycle 6

Also feel I should take some time out testong but fear of missing ovulation makes me want to carry on tracking

Second week of tww 😏😵‍💫🤗..feeling very mixed. Boobs are killing since 2dpo, and had spotting on 3dpo. Sadly needed to cancel our trip to home (as we are not vaccinated and we don't have enough holiday to cover the quarantine time too as my home country is an amber category) I'm certainly not an anti vaxxer but infertility makes you a little bit uncertain with everything, we try to hold on for this at the moment.
Hoping we still can enjoy some our time and travel in the country, visit few of our very dear friends, enjoy the autumn, some sunshine 🤞 and have some relaxed time.

How is everybody doing?

I don’t have a reserved seat on this bus, but jumping on anyway! Hopefully, there’s space 😃
Thinking what to try different this month 🤔Started iron last month to increase my energy levels.

I’m out 😞 CD 24, had BFN today and yesterday, and just got a little bit of brown discharge so guess AF will arrive tomorrow

@Hopingformiracle3 congratulations!!!! This is one good looking line especially for 8-9 DPO! I have all my fingers and toes crossed that it’s a strong and healthy little bean! 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻

I’m 10 DPO this morning. Woke up with the worst lower back ache and full/heavy/crampy feeling. I haven’t tested yet. And AF not due till Fri next week.
I’m hoping this is a positive sign 🍀🤞🏻

Hi all, I'm so sorry for those who are out this cycle.

Took a test this morning, because I'm a mentalist. Around 8 or 9dpo. Trying to stay optimistic, this will be my 5 BFP in 12 months....

How's everyone else getting on?

Congratulations to everyone with BFPs and sorry to hear some of you are out this month, but hopefully you all will have a lucky October! 🍀

I’m 9 DPO and have been having zero symptoms. Today is the first time I experienced anything. It was this pinching sensation - quite sharp and quick in my uterus area on the right side. I distinctly remember two “pinches” each lasting only a few seconds. Do you think this could be implantation?

I'm out 😔 AF is couple of days late which never happens to me normally. Think it likes to mess with us. Good luck everyone still in the TWW x

@Capricorn8990 I would definitely do tonight and tomorrow and if you have the energy I would try and even do Sunday! As the egg may stay around for a while

@Capricorn8990 in a ideal world I’d DTD tonight and tomorrow morning if you can peak means your egg is going to be released in the next 12-24 (or even 48) hrs so you can cover all basis. All the best and plenty of baby dust to you

I've been using clear blue digital advance ovulation tests and yesterday I got "O" which is no ovulation/ hormones surging but today I took it and it's gone straight to peak. We DTD yesterday so shall we do it again tonight or tomorrow or both?! Xx

@Lealu I'm sorry your AF showed up. Our bodies can play such horrible tricks on us 😔 xx

@Lealu same here. Had weird pink spotting tues and weds, then last night and today has been really heavy 😔

@Lealu sorry to hear AF came, it csn be so frustrating can't it 🥺

This TWW feels like the longest wait ever! 7 days tomorrow until AF is due: not many symptoms other than being exhausted (but im back at work after 6 weeks school holidays, so could be that!), sometimes my breasts feel sensitive and i get slight heartburn every day 🥴 but nothing too intense or seriously noticeable (apart from tiredness!) the days are just dragging and Im struggling to find patience for this last week! I need a distraction 🤣

@Lealu so sorry to hear that 😢 x

Sorry to hear that @Lealu 😔❤️

Af arrived for me this morning so I'm out for this month too 😔 Wishing baby dust to anyone in their the tww 🤞🌠

@Lealu I'm sorry to hear that, that sucks.

@MaybeBabyAli haha, yeah... I know that feeling!

My previous peak on cd12 was a false alarm. My temp stayed low and I've just had another peak today, cd20. Luckily I suspected as much so we've been dtd loads. Fingers crossed this time I actually ovulate!
