Sorry to hear this @SaltedChoco 😢It’s just so hard when you have a whole month of waiting, to realise that you aren’t even in with a chance and need to wait to start all over again.
I had been testing twice a day (since getting a flashing) but then went down to once a day again. I might try the 2 day ones next month. I’m feeling really low about it all today.

SaltedChoco · 21/02/2023 17:52

Sorry @AlleycatMarie I have given up now too and accept I didn’t ovulate this month.

I read somewhere that someone tried using the advanced CB’s in the mornings, then on flashing days they used the (cheaper, 2 day) normal CBs in the evenings. And they caught a surge on the evening ones that didn’t show up on the morning ones (too light a surge??) so I might try that.

AlleycatMarie · 21/02/2023 17:28

@TunnocksTCake unfortunately my frer this morning was a stark white. Plus I still got a flashing smiley, so I think I didn’t ovulate this month 😢

@Floralsandsmiles thanks my love. Exactly, and we go again ey 😂such a difficult time.

how are you getting on? You’ll potentially be a day or 2 past ovulation now so in your TWW? X

Agreed! So difficult!

Well I'm CD15, 5th day of flashing smiley! Had diarrhoea today which I know can he a good thing, however now I feel sick too and over hot, so thinking maybe a bug now?! FmL!!!!
Got white CM though, watery and had light cramping last night (which I thought was the egg releasing). But still no static! And LH strips are low! So annoying!!!! Xxxx

@TunnocksTCake bfn for me this morning, so had my sad sad day and try and pick myself up again ready for AF and start over again! Fingers crossed you get your BFP in a few more days ❤️🥰

@Nelliepledge hey bfn buddy, sorry to hear your test results were the same as me today. Sending you hugs. Let me know if you need to talk about anything. How many DPO are you (sorry if I’ve missed that if you’ve said it already)? Are you still in with a chance? Xx

Aww @MilkyAndFluffy I'm sorry for your BFN! New cycle, new chances 🥰 sending you hugs xxxx

That is so lovely thank you ❤️❤️🥰 how is your journey going?xxx

It's long! But helps to have the supportive ladies! It is all consuming though! Ha!
How about you @Nelliepledge ? Xxx

LuckyC27 · 21/02/2023 15:50

@SnookyPook congrats definitely looks positive when is AF due?

tested again this morning as AF is due today and no sign of it and got a stronger positive! Going to test again in a few days to hopefully get that strong positive but feeling nauseous today as well so think this is it!

congratulations to all of the other bfps! And lots of baby dust to those still trying x

Mummyme87 · 21/02/2023 15:38

Thanks ladies. I haven’t been ttc for two months due to a wedding abroad in October so was happy to see AF! Just glad we can get back on it again

UnwieldyRhombus · 21/02/2023 13:40

@TinyPuds Yes, everyone seems to be pregnant right now, don't they?! I'm trying to be genuinely happy for them and stop focusing so much on myself but it always stings a little when someone else shares their happy news. We'll get there too xx

UnwieldyRhombus · 21/02/2023 13:38

Hi everyone, 7DPO, period due on 28th, a few months deep into TTC #2. I've learnt that my breasts always get tender around now and I always get twinges and cramps and am therefore not allowed to take any of these symptoms as signs of early pregnancy 😉

I don't feel pregnant, but I'm still a week out. A November baby would be lovely, but I think I need to steel myself and look forward TTC a December baby.

I also have PCOS but conceived my first without issue. We were very lucky. This time around I'm needing to be a lot more patient though!

TinyPuds · 21/02/2023 12:35

@TunnocksTCake Sorry you're feeling rubbish!! Try and have some echinacea!! It saved me from my last cold. I'm sorry you haven't seen a line on your test yet. Fingers crossed this one is your cycle! Which tests are you using?

@AlleycatMarie Haha i'm the same, i always say i'll wait a couple of days and then i cave and just test every day anyway if i have any spare tests at home. They're addictive!! I'm feeling good thanks, most days i've been feeling exhausted at about 2pm as if I've had a really sweaty gym workout, not physically tired but my eyes feel sleepy (if this makes sense? I've only ever felt tired in this way after a big gym sesh haha), so i think things are happening! How are you feeling? Have you tested again?

@Mummyme87 I'm sorry AF has arrived 😔Hope you're feeling ok about it.

@Nelliepledge Hopefully you'll get your bfp this month!! Where in your cycle are you? It's a long old game isn't it. I think social media makes it feel worse too - i felt a bit hopeless in Jan and LOADS of friends announced pregnancies 🙁Happy for them, gutted for me haha.

Judethepud · 21/02/2023 12:26

Just realised how much I said hope/hoping in that last message 🤣 clearly feeling very hopefull

Judethepud · 21/02/2023 12:23

Hi ladies, joining in, cycle 12 for me currently 8 dpo. I don't think I'm pregnant this month as i feel exactly the same as i do every month but still can't help driving myself mad symptom spotting and hoping, even after 12 months.
I have a fertility appointment next month which I'm hoping will give me some answers and after putting off booking a holiday in the hopes I would be pregnant I've finally booked a cruise for June so hoping that gives me something to look forward to :)

TunnocksTCake · 21/02/2023 11:22

@AlleycatMarie Aaah CD 22 makes much more sense! I'm hopeful for you and cant wait to see your next test result.
@MilkyAndFluffy did you test this morning?
@Mummyme87 sorry af got you, hope you're feeling ok about it.
I'm 8DPo today and exhausted as I have been sleeping really badly the last 2 nights... no huge obvious symptoms yet but did a test this morning as I have a box full and figure if I just test and get it out of the way maybe I wont obsess all day. Was BFN obvs, waaay too early but I want to see it starting if it does come up. Feeling really run down and like a cold is on the way 😥

Nelliepledge · 21/02/2023 10:57

Hello ladies. Hoping you don't mind if I join. BFN this morning, ttc #1 cycle 6. Feel like I can't really talk to family/friends as I just get met with "just relax and it will happen". Was hopeful for this month as timed with OPK'S and just feeling hope

SnookyPook · 21/02/2023 08:12

@Mummyme87 sorry lovely - hope you're feeling ok. Lots of baby dust to you for cycle 20 - this could be the one 🤞🏻💕

Mummyme87 · 21/02/2023 06:29

SnookyPook · 20/02/2023 15:20
