Hoping for BFP in May

@Hopefulprincess oh I hope it's the start of a bfp. Did you test again this morning?

@PeachesToday happy fw ttc! The cheap opks are so good. Can pee away happily and not worry too much

I got a stronger line yesterday afternoon. Stepping away from the tests until Sunday/Monday or I might just wait until af date.

Hope everyone has a fab weekend planned. We're reorganising the office/dump room but at least it's Eurovision tonight!

I just did a frer I couldn’t tell if neg so I took it apart and using my torch I can see a v faint line with pink in it hmmmm it’s on one half of the line there’s a gap in the middle so guess we’ll see! Boobs tingling cramps ect the usuals but as we know all could indicate af anyways

@ElleBelleLou I'm feeling exactly the same. AF due sometime this weekend, getting the first signs of cramps and heavy feeling but still hoping. Part of me wishes it would just start already so I can at least have the answer that I already know and then start looking forward to the next cycle.

@LemonZestDribbles that's still a good line! Could definitely be that your afternoon wee is stronger

I’m finally in my fertile window - phew! 😀I hate the waiting to get to this point almost as much as the 2WW.

We’re really throwing everything at it this month (cycle 5) so really hoping this is the one. I will say I’m enjoying not using the digital ovulation kits. The cheapies have desensitised me to seeing a second line on tests and saved me cash.

Good luck everyone and congrats to those with BFPs! 💛

@LemonZestDribbles woweee congratulations!
I got a bfn this morning 🙁😩😥😭
@Mummy202102 defo get opks sounds like ovulation is different to the app! Happens a lot

@ElleBelleLou that sounds a great way to keep distracted ❤

@BellaTheDarkOverlord boo! Lots of luck for next cycle

@MissBlue93 bloomin covid. Hopefully the late ov brings some luck 🤞

@LemonZestDribbles fingers crossed for you x

AF has come back this morning with a vengeance 😂luckily I'm off work and can relax. Not going to bother testing now. Definitely AF. On to the next cycle!

@LemonZestDribbles Hey, I'm doing much better today thank you - I have a day off work so I've had 10 hours sleep, I'm going to do a huge spring clean then spend the evening with my mum as my partner's away.

I wouldn't worry - my tests were always so much darker mid afternoon and early evening than the morning! My friends were too x

That's what I'm starting to think 🤦🏻‍♀️

That's a really good line!! Yes it's possible your afternoon wee is stronger than morning ☺️

@ElleBelleLou how are you today?

@Hopefulprincess did you test again?

@BellaTheDarkOverlord how are you doing?

@Mummy202102 I'd definitely try ovulation tests. The apps just predict so might not be too accurate

@MissBlue93covid really seems to mess up people's cycles. It might be that af will get pushed back too.

So I tested yesterday afternoon and got a really good line on both frer and os. This morning they are really faint. The frer doesn't even show on camera. I'm hoping that this time I'm testing better in the afternoon rather than it being a bad sign

So I got my peak OPK cd18... cd20 now and no BBT rise yet... so looks like I could well be ovulating today providing my bbt rises tomorrow. However AF due 22nd! So I'd only be 8DPO when it's due. I think covid has messed with it all this month, has anyone else had a small gap and still managed to conceive?

Hey. I’ve realised 4 days after I ovulate I get pain on one side of pelvis. And also a lot of discharge. Do u think I have been doing the deed at the wrong time and maybe these pains I’m getting is a sign of ovulating? I used the app that’s when I do the deed few days b4 and few days after. Buy these pains happen every month at the same time on cycle day 14-18 for a whole day!
also when the app says I’m ovulating I think I am because I have high sex drive and also very wet sorry for tmi!! Let me know what u think! Next month going to buy ovulation tests!

Sorry DD6 as in she's 6 years old. I just have the one, 7 next month.

With that pregnancy I had spotting brown before I tested positive. This is red so I don't think implantation so you never know. I might nip out for test in morning and will update so fingers crossed 😄

Also dd6? How many kiddos do you have?

@BellaTheDarkOverlord I’m thinking implantation but I’m not sure what cd you are or 🤷‍♀️ But please test 🤣

I still do cheapies but changed to baby mad brand as the one steps were + in water I’m not doing them ever again

@LemonZestDribbles af due Tuesday …. Iv got enough frer to test 1 a day till then 😂

AF due tomorrow, had cramps on and off all day, that telltale heavy feeling down below, way too over emotional for the past 3 days and my skin is terrible - all classic AF symptoms so WHY oh WHY am I still dreaming of getting a BFP this month 🥲

@Hopefulprincess it's so hard with the frer at the moment. I can see something on yours but (like mine) I can't tell if indent or not. And it's hard to trust cheapies 😩 is it this weekend youre due af?

@BellaTheDarkOverlord or implantation 🤞🤞🤞

@HS99 I love that re the swimmers 🤣🤣

@Hopefulprincess no not yet. Completely stopped.

Funny though. I was just in the toilet and said out loud where's my period gone. DD6 heard and started opening drawers asking what it looked like so she can help find it😂totallly got me when she asked does it look like a plunger.

@BellaTheDarkOverlord has it restarted?

@LemonZestDribbles our frers look similar 😐 can’t tell if it’s indent also not trusting the cheap sticks . Not sure if mine shows but going indent for me

fingers crossed for you 🤞

On CD14 of a 31 day cycle, I did a spinning class this morning and was getting paranoid that gravity will cause any swimmers to drop down away from my tubes 😂 I know there’s no real evidence about this affecting conception but still feel like avoiding any vigorous exercise for the next week…
