Thank you so much everyone 🥰
Trying not to get too excited yet but it’s difficult🙈
Feeling a bit crampy but apart from that no other symptoms really.

My LH has remained low throughout this cycle. Much lower than normal. I don’t think I’m going to even bother testing this time. AF is due on 28th and I’m fully expecting it. I will just focus on getting ready for next month.

Misspotterscat · 18/12/2022 18:34

Congrats to those who have BFP - what wonderful news at Christmas time ❤️

Hiya all .. just jumping on i keep reading threads and watching in background we have been TTC #2 for 6-7 months now and majority of the time I have been using clearblue OPK with the flashing smiley. My cycle ranges from 29-35 days on average, yesterday AF arrived and I cried all day really thought this was the month, we have been BD’in every other day until I received flashing faces which I then had 6 days off so we BD every day until 2 days after peak. We have also previously tried SMEP, I just don’t know what else to do.. I just need to hear some positive stories to lift me up

sending love and baby dust too all xxx

Congratulations @LuckyStar511 ✨

I am getting desperate to test now but I’ve come this far and AF is due Wednesday so
I just need to hold out!!

I felt much more crampy at this stage last month so wondering if I’m not gonna get a BFP this time orrr whether the cramps were due to the pregnancy ending in a chemical
anyway. Also my right boob feels sore/tender on the side nearest the armpit?! Nothing or nowhere else though so wondering if it’s not related. Symptom spotting like mad now 🥺🫠

Congratulations @LuckyStar511

BCxx · 18/12/2022 17:20

@LuckyStar511 congratulations! That’s a really good line

Plantymcplant · 18/12/2022 17:19

Looking for someone's opinions on my chart. Do you think I peaked at the 0.5 or do you think I am still waiting? The other blue line is the temperature which I don't think makes much sense this month either

@Knov20 😂 at least you’ve had a final glass of prosecco! Will you be due august? Come and join us on the august group if you are 🥳

doughyparton · 18/12/2022 17:07

Congratulations @Knov20 and @LuckyStar511 - what a great present for Christmas!!

Teaplease29 · 18/12/2022 16:28

Can I join? DH and I have decided let’s just go for baby no2 this month. Ovulating in approx 2 days. DTD last night and this morning.

Hopefulfor4 · 18/12/2022 16:16

So many bfp's congratulations all those who have received them!! Any tips to pass on? Or changes made!? Too late for me as I'm in my final tww (but not sure if/when I ovulated) but would be helpful for others. Xx

Okay so I couldn’t wait any longer. One test in the house and I’ve just taken it and this popped up straight away! 12 dpo. Photo taken within 3 mins.
The line isn’t solid though - is that okay?

GemLou88 · 18/12/2022 15:14

@Roxybabe 😂 fingers crossed it wasn’t for nothing. I’ve tested again and my levels are 0.24. But I’ll carry on testing

@GemLou88 yeAh just keep testing until you get a definite peak! Yes still testing, annoyed at myself for skipping a few days as when I rechecked it to make sure my LH was back down it was weirdly dark (not positive but darker then normal) but seems to have come back down now!! Hopefully I did O on CD14 or all that shagging was a waste 😂 keep us posted hun xx

Thanks @Roxybabe CD 15 definitely wasn’t a peak, I don’t know why my app changed it. But I’ve just looked back on the cycle I conceived my son and I had something similar and ovulated on CD26. I’ll just keep testing and see what happens. Are you still testing?
Congratulations @Knov20

Laul89 · 18/12/2022 13:04

@Knov20 yay congratulations! 👏🏼 what a rollercoaster you’ve been on! x

Sb86 · 18/12/2022 10:26

Can I just ask those who have got a positive...what were your symptoms before getting a BFP? Those who have been pregnant before are the symptoms the same or totally different? I thought af had arrived but I've just been spotting for the last 4 days. I'm not really sure when I ovulated because the app changed it's mind 😕 the only pregnancy I can compare to is my most recent in September as can't remember how I felt when I was pregnant years ago with my children. My body is really frustrating me right now, it could be that it's getting back to normal after the loss in October so hopefully will be back to normal next cycle.

Ps congratulations @Knov20 that's so exciting!!

LuckyStar511 · 18/12/2022 09:08

@Knov20 congratulations! This gives me hope because I’m around 12dpo, AF due on Wednesday but I’ve been feeling mild cramps this morning. Assumed it was AF on her way early but now I’m feeling a bit hopeful 🤞🏻 haven’t done any tests - determined to wait!

Knov20 · 18/12/2022 08:16

@BCxx you were right. I'm so so excited. I went out lastnight and had a glass of prosecco because I thought I wasn't. Then woke up this morning and testing and it came up positive!!

BCxx · 18/12/2022 07:56

@Knov20 i told you! Clearly this happens to more people than just me then 😂 congratulations!

Knov20 · 18/12/2022 07:43

It's a faint line!!! But its a line!!!!! Eeeeek!!!

@GemLou88 looks like they are rising so keep testing and hopefully you’ll get a positive soon!! 🤞🤞 I’m confused as to why the app has identified CD15 as a peak and a 1.22, maybe it’s the picture quality but that test doesn’t look positive?

doughyparton · 18/12/2022 07:20

@Bluelightbaby ive had very similar; but I’m at 8dpo atm. I personally feel like I’m not pregnant this cycle as when I have been pregnant, I just felt like I knew before I’d even tested.
