@hopingfor4 sorry to hear that, if AF really arrives like you think i'm using the easy@home strips and I love them plus the premom app is great to track line progression I find them very easy to use you just have to make sure to take the pictures of the test in the same place with similar lighting for accurate results 😊

Pretty sure I’m out this cycle. Due on tomorrow, tested this morning with a cheapie, thought I could see a very faint line got all excited so checked with a frer and clearly negative so I’m thinking Evap line. Going to try ovulation tests for this next cycle I was thinking the easy@home ones you can get on amazon are they quite easy to use?

Hi everybody hope you all are doing well? 😊
2 or 3 dpo today but my bbt doesn't seem to be rising above what it was in my follicular phase anybody have experience with this? based on other charts i thought i would see a big temp difference by now...
@FigPig congratulations 😍

Yes, I'm on cyclogest for the first time this month since 3 DPO and it has been wild. Last week felt very balanced, this week I feel super emotional and my boobs are super sore. 11 DPO today apparently and trying to hold out on testing because I get obsessed by them. How are you finding it?

I'm also funnily enough trying acupuncture for the first time today.
I had a consultation with Rachel at The Fertility Suite which has really helped me.

I'm using proov, my acupuncturist recommended it so I didn't even think to look up reviews!

You’re so kind, thank you ❤️ I hope you’re feeling okay with your sickness!

I had a pretty miserable day yesterday, not going to lie, but my progression is back on track today! I’m going to hold off testing until a weeks indicator on the weekend, I think. Does anyone know the best DPO to use those to get the first result?

Hope all is well with everyone! And thanks to everyone for being so kind yesterday. It’s so great to have this little group.

Hi all, lovely to see some positives on here!!

Anyone ever tested progesterone before? My acupuncturist recommended it so I'm trying this cycle and I'm finding it's stressing me out a bit. I'm testing each morning for 5 days, the app calls it 'implantation window' testing and for some reason that just freaks me out, like I feel worried about what the result will be as if it's a pregnancy test.

@FigPig how are you feeling tonight? Sending love to you, hopefully all is good xx

Thanks @jelliebean9 that makes me feel better.. we didn't DTD tonight because I was hangry 🙃 so two days before and day before ovulation will have to do, and maybe I can convince for tomorrow after my run!

We onto DTD once, 2 days before ovulation this month. Life and a poorly toddler got in the way! And it’s looking like one sperm got there. You’ve def got it covered 🙏

Sounds good @Chocolateeggsarebetterthannormalchocolate

Thanks @SureLook@Ec2808and @jelliebean9! That's what I'm hoping for as don't know if I'll get 10 dpo! And managed to DTD Saturday and Sunday, and aiming for tonight too. Probably won't manage tomorrow with being back to work and general life 🙃

I agree with the others. CD14, looks the peak! Have you managed to DTD? 🙏🙏🙏

@ttcjourney20001 you poor thing!

@Chocolateeggsarebetterthannormalchocolate I agree with @Ec2808 CD14 looks darker than today but so does the test overall so I'd say it's just the lighting. I would consider yesterday your peak.

@Chocolateeggsarebetterthannormalchocolate CD 14 def looks your peak to me there's a subtle lighting difference maybe that why the app didn't pick it up correctly...

Any advice anyone? Yesterday's looks darker to me so now I'm confused!

I can’t seem to keep any food down for more than a few hours, I’ve lost my appetite, I’m moody and tired and I’m only 5w+4d. The worst is yet to come I fear

Afternoon ladies, more to add to my disastrous Spain trip. Went for a lovely game of crazy golf with my boyfriend, 18 holes, lovely. Had a fanta lemon to hydrate myself, hadn’t gone sick this morning, life couldn’t be greater! After the game, other half wanted to go to Burger King, I have no appetite the last couple of days, so I’m sat at the table with a cup of crushed ice, because all smells make me want to die at the moment. He gets onion rings as a side, as soon as I smelt that shit*y little bag of onion rings I could feel the sick brewing, that lump in your throat. But we’re a 10 minute walk from the hotel. I say to him love we’re gonna have to go, cause this sickness isn’t waiting for anyone. Fast forward 10 minutes, get up to the room and the poor cleaners have been to spruce up the room and I have my head down the toilet not even 15 seconds after walking through that door. A mixture of muffin, nectarine and lemon Fanta has just blessed me with its presence in the bowl. Pray for me o_O

@FlyHighSky72 thank youu! soo glad we're in this together because the tww is literally torture I just can't 😂

Ah cool - 4 of us then @SureLookand @Ec2808!
I’m hoping mine might be a bit longer this cycle, I’ve been focussing on being relaxed and I plan to eat lots of vitamin c rich food as google tells me that can help! Fingers very firmly crossed!!!

Well at least we are in this together for this cycle @SureLook@FlyHighSky72 ✨️

@SureLook AF is also due the 17th for me and thanks for commenting 😊
