@BucksOxonMum welcome!!! Wishing you all the best and lots of baby dust your way! Is this your first time using OPKs?

@MOGMOGMOG85 ah sorry your period came. :( hope you're not feeling too deflated. New cycle, new beginning, new hope. Hope your hubby has lots of electrolytes to have energy for smep! :) fingers crossed that this is your cycle, love.

@VixFromThe6ix I definitely will do! I was going to wait until Friday to test again but I feel like there’s no way I’ll be able to wait 😂

Oh no so sorry about the family dog @El1988 they become family members so it's so difficult to let them go. I had one for 15yrs and he's been gone now 8yrs and I still think about him and have his photos around the house. Hope you're holding up ok. But hugs

Omg I can see the line!!! @H0pefull that's so exciting and just what our group needs. I think we've all been feeling deflated so good news always reminds us of hope

@El1988 thanks so much lovely ❤️ will update soon as I can!
Oh I’m so sorry to hear that 💔 they’re a huge part of the family aren’t they, especially if you won’t get home in time to see him again. I wish there was something I could say to help but I know that there isn’t 😔sending you a huge hug❤️

thanks for the reply @FigandHoney! fingers crossed 🤞🏻 he goes away for a week on Friday night so would really love to know either way by then so I can tell him before he goes away. I bought a baby grow Months ago saying “I love daddy” so I plan to put that in a drawer in the kitchen and ask him to pass me something out of it. Not that I’ve been thinking about it or anything 😂🤦🏼‍♀️ hope you are ok as well 🤍

El1988 · 26/09/2023 17:10

@H0pefull oh I know, it’s so hard not to get excited but then you don’t want to let yourself get excited because you don’t want the even more crushing disappointment if it doesn’t work out… sending a huge hug, I can definitely see something on those tests though! 🤞🤞🤞❤️

feeling fairly crap today tbh, my sister texted to say that they will probably have to put down our family dog… he’s been with us for 15 years, and he keeps my dad company since my mum passed away, so I’m fairly devastated. I was hoping to see him again one last time, but I won’t make it home in time…

FigandHoney · 26/09/2023 17:02

@H0pefull I can definitely see a faint faint line on all of those. Don't think it would be likely to get an indent on them all. I have my fingers crossed that this is your sticky baby.
How are you planning to tell your husband if it is?

@MOGMOGMOG85 Sorry you think AF has arrived.
Let us know what hubby says to SMEP.
We did do it last time we were YTC. But it did get a lot. So not planning to go there again unless we get desperate. Although I am tempted. Definitely gives you the best shot at it.
Let me just tell you that Proceive dies not taste very nice. But I hope it will makes our eggs and sperm nice and healthy.

H0pefull · 26/09/2023 16:58

thanks @El1988 ! Trying my best not to get excited but easier said than done 😂 hope you’re doing ok?

Thank you @MOGMOGMOG85 ! Everything crossed 🤞🏻been trying since MC in June 2022 so really hoping this is it. sorry to see about AF for you, it’s so deflating. hope you can have a nice evening tonight with plenty of chocolate 🤍

MOGMOGMOG85 · 26/09/2023 16:33

Think af has arrived. It feels odd, not much is happening compared to usual, so I really am wondering if this is an anovulatory cycle. Perhaps I better test this month. Perhaps smep too? Perhaps proceive max, perhaps preseed... Will have to consult my poor weary partner on the smep bit. We are both fed up after 1 year trying xxx

Hopefull I can see a clear line on the clearblue. Wait until Friday and I reckon you'll have a stonker xxx

El1988 · 26/09/2023 16:09

@H0pefull I see faint lines too! 🤞🤞🤞that it sticks and you see darker lines on Friday! (If you manage to hold out that long!)

welcome @BucksOxonMum! Wishing you lots of success!

BucksOxonMum · 26/09/2023 15:58

I see a faint line on both too! Keeping fingers crossed for you x

BucksOxonMum · 26/09/2023 15:56

Thanks so much. Excited but also concerned that it may just not happen.

Bought my opks and am ready to go :)

@AlienSuperstar thanks for the reply! not late yet no, AF due either tomorrow or Thursday. Have done 2 x further tests since but still unsure, I’m leaving it until at least Friday now!
(my fiancé did a rubbish job of hiding the tests like I asked, they were in plain sight😂)
was going to not early test this month I don’t know why I bothered but here we are lol

I feel like I can see faint lines on both!

SnookyPook · 26/09/2023 14:37

Ooh @H0pefull I definitely see lines on those! The fact it's two different brands is giving me more hope too.... 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻

@AlienSuperstar
I started off at the beginning of the year all easy breezy, then something just switched and I'm now utterly consumed!

it's so difficult to just "relax" when it's something you want so much.

I'm going to do my best and just track my periods for now until Jan and see what happens , I really don't want it effecting my relationship, it did have an impact on my last marriage x
