Thank you Jolly! Not really. I have PCOS but have had about 3 check ups the last 3 years and they have seen no “evidence” and given me the all clear (just to say I know pcos doesn’t just go away and I argued this, however, they just said it’s not prominent enough that it will effect fertility)
I have had a regular 32-35 day cycle for the past 2 years, and my PCOS symptoms have most definitely disappeared in that time frame too.
I also know I definitely ovulated as I used the CB ovulation kit.
sheesh sorry for the wall of text! X

@Sminbags that could be your sign you know! I have more "symptoms" when I'm due on than when I'm pregnant so you could be the same. Deffo enjoy your holiday and just do a test when you get home if you can't find any tests where you are? Would there be any other reason why you would be so late? Xx

Hello, how is everyone doing?
I’m on day 17 still no period. I’ve had zero symptoms for the past week except for the odd cramp and very slight boob tweaks every now and then. I fear if I was surely I’d be having more symptoms by now.
We’re still away on holiday but are in a more modern city next week so will hopefully be able to buy a test, haven’t found any in any shops so far!

Period came today, was having such vivid dreams all week so thought that was an early sign. was hoping to catch since having a MMC 8 weeks ago but onto the next cycle. Wishing everyone luck xx

Sminbags · 07/08/2023 08:50

Thank you 😊 I have told myself to just enjoy my holiday now as stressing about it certainly isn’t helping, but it does worry me that I’ve no symptoms.
well apart from crying my eyes out at the most stupid things today! But that could be the heat/jet lag x

@Sminbags oh that's very exciting! One of my friends didn't get a BFP until 2 weeks after her af was due (testing every day) so I really hope that's the case for you too!! Good luck 🤞🏽 xx

Hi! I’m 9 days late but on holiday at the moment and can’t really get hold of any tests. I had period cramps up until 2 days ago, nothing since.
I last tested on 15dpo around 5 times and all negative, I used 3 different brands.
I’m not sure what’s happening 🫠🫠
fingers crossed for you! X

@mahii95 was it implantation??

How is everyone doing? I'm pretty sure I'm going to ovulate today or tomorrow according to opk's. So ready to start the tww again! Xx

Hi all 7dpo today.. had a bit of spotting late last night.. at 6dpo around 11.25pm.. what do you all think? Implantation or not enough? Nothing since Pictures attached.. sorry if TMI 😬🥴

Sminbags · 01/08/2023 09:08

Morning, how is everyone today?
15dpo here and period 4 days late. Tested today on a mommed and whiter than white.
Hoping period shows up so I can figure out what to do this month!

That feeling sucks.. I hope AF shows up so you're not in a limbo anymore and can move into your next cycle @Sminbags

@ReginaPhalange12 thank you! Fingers crossed you won’t have to join us next month 😊

Hotmalibu94 · 31/07/2023 20:12

Ahhhhh @Myna13 and @thejollytrolleydolly see you on the BBT thread 🎉

I'm currently on CD5 and not due to ovulate for over a week but just finding it fascinating looking at my temperatures every morning, it's currently on a bit of a downward trend but I imagine it'll steady out and then hopefully I'll get a dip before an increase so I can see when I ovulate 🤞

ReginaPhalange12 · 31/07/2023 20:00

Good luck @thejollytrolleydolly & @CatiaR the excitement builds again when you see the OPKs getting darker. Sending baby dust to you both ☺️

CatiaR · 31/07/2023 17:39

@Myna13 i think I’ve added you earlier @thejollytrolleydolly is there now so I think it worked?

let me know if not otherwise I’m sure @Hotmalibu94 will do later too 😊

the thread is called BBTing our way to a BFP in August if you’d like to search it instead

Myna13 · 31/07/2023 17:23

@CatiaR @Hotmalibu94 yes pls add me on there!

@ReginaPhalange12 I'm on CD6 so only a day behind you! I've got some ov strips already but going to buy some more and IC's for this month. Fingers crossed august is the one for us! 🤞🏽🤞🏽 xx

CatiaR · 31/07/2023 16:59

@ReginaPhalange12 only a bit longer to go then! Fingers crossed for you 😊

I’m all kitted out for this time around got premom and flo ready, my ovulation strips and BBT testing from tomorrow onwards. Just waiting on AF to finish in a couple of days and start checking on ovulation 😊

if not next month then I’m hoping it will give me good insight and data on what’s going on during my cycle

ReginaPhalange12 · 31/07/2023 16:55

@CatiaR I am. 7DPO today.
I think if I had a more typical cycle then it would possibly be more accurate sooner. It was great for ovulation tracking, both apps I usually use were a few days out. If you buy them on Amazon they occasionally have offers on for around £8.50 for 30.
Hoping you get a BFP soon ✨

CatiaR · 31/07/2023 16:40

@thejollytrolleydolly definitely going to watch a youtube video on it!

@Myna13 my arrived earlier too 😊

@Hotmalibu94 has started a new one recently of a few of us on a new cycle can add you guys there?

Myna13 · 31/07/2023 16:03

@thejollytrolleydolly @CatiaR
My thermometer arrives today! I'm falling down the BBT rabbit hole myself 😅
Would love to go on this journey with you guys. Should I set up another thread and tag you'll in it?

thejollytrolleydolly · 31/07/2023 15:54

@CatiaR yeah me too! I've never done it before and I don't even know if it will work for me as I get up at different times every day but from as far as I can gather you just have to do it as soon as you wake up? I know you're meant to have a drop when you ovulate and then your temp is meant to stay high if you've conceived... I don't know I'm going to have to watch a YouTube video on it I think 😂😂

CatiaR · 31/07/2023 15:47

@thejollytrolleydolly that's great! hopefully all good for you, it would be great if you did get pregnant tho :)

I just got mine today so will start looking at it, need to look into it a bit more to understand what I'm looking for 😄

mahii95 · 31/07/2023 15:43

Hi all how are you getting on? Was wondering is a implantation bbt dip a myth or is it true? I've had a dip at 6dpo today but not sure what to take of it? Any advice or input would be greatly appreciated.. attached chart for FYI
