Congratulations @RugbyGirl1 thats really amazing news!!

Hi hope you don’t mind me joining the chat. So me and my husband has just started to try for our first baby. As per ovolution calculator I’m fertile this week and we did the do today, 2 questions
do you think we should have another round like around Friday this week ?also I believe I know when I overplays I normally get really wet slippery discharge which started yesterday does this mean a egg should have been released already ?
thanks

@RugbyGirl1 wow you must be over the moon 🥳 please celebrate in style x

RugbyGirl1 · 29/08/2022 20:45

Thanks lovely ladies 😘 appreciate it's a fairly faint line but it's still early days. Will crack open the FRERs tomorrow 🤞 fingers crossed this one sticks around... For those on long journeys - don't give up hope! This was cycle number 21...

Babydust99 · 29/08/2022 20:13

@LavenderWillow It would still be a May baby so was hoping there might be a couple of other people running later in the month too.... perhaps not 😂

Alice1608 · 29/08/2022 19:13

@RugbyGirl1 a massive congratulations! @LavenderWillow I'm not holding out hope on this cycle but we still have 2 days? Keep me up to date with you? I'm crossing my fingers for you!xxx

Londonlady22 · 29/08/2022 19:03

@RugbyGirl1 I remember your name from previous threads! Congratulations! What a lucky thread!!

LavenderWillow · 29/08/2022 18:24

some cramps this evening and a bit more spotting, could AF be arriving 2 days early?

spotting has been on and off since 9dpo and I’m now 12 dpo so I’m no longer thinking implantation bleeding.

LavenderWillow · 29/08/2022 18:21

@RugbyGirl1 congrats!!!

@wellhelloitsme so nice to have someone in the same position. I'm going to try this TWW not to symptom spot as I now know that I can trick myself into believing anything 😂😂

However I did buy 25 of those pregnancy test strips so I'll be testing... a lot. What cycle is it for you?

Haha I've purposefully not bought any new ones so I can't get tempted... we'll see how long that lasts!

This is cycle 8 but having started OPKs last month only, I now think the first 6 were potentially wasted TTC wise as I ovulate around day 19/20 so my timings were likely off.

How about you?

Hey ladies, I was on the original May Baby thread and just been catching up with all your messages. I (finally) got my BFP this morning 🥳 being cautiously optimistic at present but so far so good - no spotting so far! I'm only 9/10 dpo but my luteal phase is usually only 10 days long!

Congrats to everyone else with their BFPs!

Oh amazing! This thread feels like it's got a v high success rate which is lovely to see Flowers

@Nypie

1DPO here so I'm with you!

Going to try not to test until I'm due this month as I always get my hopes up and symptom spot otherwise.

Well, that's the plan anyway...

Nypie · 29/08/2022 16:27

Wow. So many BFPs must be some kind of record so many congratulations! For those of you who are recently positive would love to hear your stats.

I'm dpo 1/2 so a bit to go. Is anyone else similar?

NSx · 29/08/2022 13:31

@newgal me I did at 11dpo but it went down again the next day 😂 so who knows. I’m due AF tomorrow or Wednesday, but she may be late as last month was 3 days late 😅

newgal · 29/08/2022 13:23

Bit of a weird temp spike this morning though 💭 anyone else had anything like this?

newgal · 29/08/2022 09:22

BFN for me too at 9dpo… quite early to test but preferred doing it during the weekend 💭😞

Alice1608 · 29/08/2022 09:03

Aww @LavenderWillow! I totally feel you! I'm 12 DPO too and haven't even bothered doing a test this morning as I did on 9,10 & 11 and so sick of it being a BFN when I know something is off! I honestly feel nuts! I'm due Wednesday too, so am just waiting for then. But I just wanted to say you aren't alone and I've felt so low the past few days as I feel silly noticing these changes on my otherwise predictable body, have got my hopes up and now just waiting on AF. I know we still have a chance and have a few days but with everyone else getting their BFP so early on, I feel like it's me out this month. Sending you hugs xxx

Nichelette · 29/08/2022 08:37

@Londonlady22 some people do fall quickly - you never know 😊

@LavenderWillow until AF arrives you're still in with a chance 🤞🏻
