@Floralsandsmiles I just use the cheap strip tests now as I found them so much easier to understand than digital ones and you can see when it’s rising before the peak etc! X

Hiya @MilkyAndFluffy thanks so much for checking in. So sorry to hear that af arrived but a new cycle means a new chance so I hope you're feeling a bit better now it's here and you can start to focus on how you want to tackle this month.

I'm a bit lost for words as I don't really know if I should believe it yet but I did a test just before we left for holiday and got a faint but definite positive on a frer. Because I always need to see things in writing I did a first response which said pregnant 1-2 weeks, this was at 10dpo. I made the decision not to take any extra tests on holiday with us because it's not great for my mental health to compare tests due to what's happened previously so I'm just going to hope for the best. Because I've had so many early losses I'm trying not to get too far ahead of myself but at the same time I'm praying beyond words that this is the time it sticks for us. I'll no doubt cave and do a test when I get home but I didn't want to be spending my whole week staring at lines and just enjoy myself as much as possible.

I know hearing these bfp posts isn't easy for those of us who have been trying for so long so if that's you just know I'm really really sorry.

Aww @Maxime34 ! A massive tentative congratulations! I know its hard to compare from previous times but it's a sensible to go away and just be happy you are a positive. (And not test!) Then when you're home, do another and you will happy you made lots of amazing memories before 🥰 praying for a sticky baby for you! Xxxx

@Natty83 i think I’m also having an anovulatory cycle - cd 26 and still flashing smiley (I don’t know why I’m still testing) cycle is usually 26-28. I have no pms symptoms yet. Don’t know whether to expect a bleed or not this month? I’m 40 and so worried time is running out.

@TunnocksTCake sorry you’re getting confusing results - your one yesterday looked so promising. Will you test again tomorrow?

@Chellooo that looks like a great line. Finger’s crossed for you!

Sorry to hear this @AlleycatMarie ! I'm 36 in July, so am worrying too xxx

Natty83 · 25/02/2023 09:27

@Floralsandsmiles it's a cycle when you don't ovulate. Can just be because of stress/bad luck, sudden weight loss etc but sometimes it just happens (I'm almost 40 and I've read it's more likely to happen spontaneously after 35?) - but if you have a few it can be a sign of something else so worth getting checked out.
Fingers crossed you get that static smiley soon! 8 days is a very frustrating amount of time. It can happen though, I've seen people here have 10/11 days of flashing and then get it.

Aww OK, thank you @Natty83 ! I'm crossing my fingers its not a non ovulation cycle. I have cramps near where both tubes are and today more CM, this normally happens (this wet feeling) when it's time for EWCM and stringy. I'm told that's ovulation.. its all so frustrating! Xxxx

I think I'm having an anovulatory cycle, I'm on CD12 now and no sign of LH picking up (I've never seen the lines so faint), I usually O on CD11, last 4 cycles like clockwork.
I feel a bit relieved, like maybe I can take a break from all the stress but without giving up a chance, you know? Anyway we will see. DH thinks I'm catastrophising and I'll just O late 🤭

Hi @Natty83 what is anovulatory cycle? I'm CD19 and still no O! I am on day 8 of flashing smiley man too and want to cry with fruatration! Xxx

Chellooo · 25/02/2023 08:04

I'm 10dpo, that's why I'm doubtful as it's so light x

Myperfectchaos · 25/02/2023 07:59

@Chellooo i can see that! How many dpo are you xx

TunnocksTCake · 25/02/2023 07:58

@Chellooo that looks positive to me!

Chellooo · 25/02/2023 07:44

@TunnocksTCake I had this one this morning...don't even know if I'm seeing a line anymore or imagining it...only tested cuz my boobs feel like water balloons lol

TTC November baby
TunnocksTCake · 25/02/2023 07:16

Hmmm I tried another wondfo and cb early and windows was stark white and cb had a vvvvfl but I couldn't tell if it has colour... 12dpo today 🤔
Probably not hopeful but my boobs are rock hard! I guess time will tell 😫

Hi all! Currently on cd16 and still waiting for a positive opk this cycle, although I did have a chemical pregnancy on my last cycle.
I think it’s getting darker but who knows, really really praying for my healthy baby soon 💔 and everyone else’s 🤞🏻

Aww me too @Mrsrobinsonx ! Crossing my fingers for you that you get it soon! Xxx

Seasidegirll · 24/02/2023 20:58

Hi all, hope you don’t mind me jumping on? I’ve been following this thread for awhile but have never posted! Congrats on all the amazing BFP’s 🤩. Currently TTC baby number 1, on our 6th month of trying! I’m C8 so just waiting to ovulate, it’s usually around day 11/12. Really hopeful that this is our month 🤞🏻

I had a response from the GP practice today about my complaint about the fact they‘ve just left us bumbling around for two years. They said they’ll give a full response within FORTY working days! In an ideal world I’ll be pregnant before then🫣😤😝

Is Inofolic Alpha just for if you’ve got PCOS? I’ve been reading the reviews on Amazon and it’s not clear.

Thanks all, away with the in laws now and avoiding drinking and all the strange looks. Got more tests but they only had clear blue earlies so might do another wondfo tomorrow first then try the cbs... fingers crossed

AlleycatMarie · 24/02/2023 18:44

@TunnocksTCake that line looks really promising!!!
