2WW looking for company 😊

@thismonthsfad @Biscuitbaby2218 - sorry to hear you're both likely out this month ladies. Praying for you all!!

I've actually had a positive on an easy at home test. It's early days and the line is very very faint and hasn't really developed over the last two days to entirely possible it's a chemical. Only time will tell! I'll keep you ladies posted. I really am praying for you all.

good luck for next cycle @thismonthsfad ❤️

im having a nightmare of a cycle 😅 on CD 31 of my hopefully 32 day cycle and having my THIRD batch of definite EWCM I had one lot on CD 13 and then another lot on CD 17 now more today on CD 31😩 I have a sneaking suspicion my pcos is feeling rather flared up and I’m having failed ovulations. (Unsurprising given how unpredictable my cycles are but they do average 32 days when you omit the random ridiculously long cycles)

if AF doesn’t come on Saturday I’m going to have to prepare myself for a long cycle I think. Makes my ttc annoyingly difficult as I’ll have the signs of ovulation that may or may not mean I actually ovulated and I’ll be none the wiser till 14 days later 😒 I’m really hoping this isn’t the case but it’s seeming suspiciously like my past extra long and cruel cycles.

if she doesn’t show I’m going to be playing BD roulette and hope my body can get its act together and actually release an egg and hope by some miracle there’s something there to greet and fertilise it 😮‍💨.

im not feeling too disheartened as I conceived DS on a bad cycle. Didn’t test positive with him til CD 67 so must have ovulated some time in the 2 weeks before that. Means tracking, testing and keeping in the loop with you ladies a bit more difficult though 🫣 I’ll do my best and I’ll be here to cheer you guys on regardless !! 😊❤️

Hi ladies. My temps dropped this morning so I am definitely out. AF will arrive later today or tomorrow. I thought this would be the case for this cycle.
Still hope to see some BFPs from you ❤️

@Chikas bfn today at 13dpo so I’m pretty certain I’m out ! Just waiting for AF now, hope she turns up on time so I can get started on a fresh new cycle !

how are you ? ☺️

Hey ladies, sorry to hear AF arrived @Chikas but I suppose we can see it as a new fresh cycle and another opportunity to get that BFP ! I’m due AF on Friday (thats if my body is cooperating) my last two cycles since I’ve come off the pill have been regular as clockwork so I’m hoping that trend continues and I’m not waiting 100+ days for af like I have in the past 😌

if my AF does show up I’ll be so happy to go into it with you ladies ! I’m currently 11dpo and feeling like AF is knocking at the door 😅 mood drop and the sore boobs I had have now vanished which is usually a tell tale sign she’s on her way in the next 1-2 days

hope you are all doing well ☺️

Hi @Chikas how was your week working away?
sorry to hear about you AF arriving - I’m in a similar boat, I know it’s coming and would rather it just start right away lol. I’ve still got high temps, AF is due tomorrow or Thursday so expecting temps to drop any day now.

heyyy we can keep each other company next cycle ❤️❤️

I've just done an easy @ home test... BFN. I'm probably 10dpo... 11 at best. I hate these tests... the more you stare and the longer you stare, I start to see all sorts of lines! I've ordered some first response too given how everyone says they're the best. I have no willpower! I also have all manner of cramps and backache so I'm still assuming AF is nearly here for me!

12DPO today - I decided to use my FRER test just out of curiosity. It's a BFN so I am counting myself out for this cycle. AF due in 2 days..

I just downloaded the FLO app, I have been using Premom but it crashes all the time so I am going to use FLO from now on.. Has anyone used it?

Wishing all you ladies luck for the next few days - hope to see lots of positive tests from you all x

@SquigletChocolatePotato morning ! Yes in my opinion I’d class my test as negative, chat GPT just made me doubt my eyes so thought I’d see if anyone can see what AI is seeing 😂 I’m due AF on the 15th !

sorry to hear about your negative although there’s been plenty women that have had stark negatives at 10dpo and then gone on to get a BFP ! You never know lovely with my first I got a squinter of a faint line at 13dpo ! I’m crossing everything that AF stays away and you get a BFP instead !!

Morning ☺️ @Biscuitbaby2218 I have the same thought about if it was obvious you wouldn’t need to invert it…but that’s just one side of my brain, the other side would be holding that test and analysing it in every way possible to check 😅 When is AF due?

I took a FRER today at 10dpo and definitely negative so I think that’s me out. Their leaflet says they detect 96% of pregnancies by this point. I guess all my symptoms are just me having a bug 😔 I’ll just wait for AF now, will test again if she doesn’t appear but I think it’s done for me this cycle.

Morning ! @Chikas i used chat GPT and I’m definitely not counting my chickens on it’s assessment 😂 I was the same this morning I can’t tell if there’s something there or not but chat said positive 3 times on 3 different pictures 🤷🏼‍♀️ I’ve ordered some first responses but I’m not going to use them till 12 & 14 dpo scouts honour 🫡😂

im so proud of you for holding off testing !! Sorry about the bloat it’s awful isn’t it ! Not long now before you can test !!

Unfiltered pic !

I caved and tested this morning at 10dpo I felt what I think possibly could be implantation in the evening of 8dpo so I’m not quite at the 48 hour mark after ovulation. It’s left me more confused then I was before 😂 I only have left over cheapies in the house (to avoid early testing I don’t buy the better ones until it’s time) could see something where the 2nd line should be (thought it was just dodgy morning eyesight ) and I mean so barely there I was counting it as a negative. Then I sent 3 pictures to chat gpt just to confirm my negative who then came back and said every single picture I sent (sent 3). there were 2 lines ! That’s surprising as it has always said negative in past cycles and kindly hinted I’m crazy and need to chill But I’m so baffled now.

now I’m thinking Chat GPT is the crazy one 👀

will attach a photo below, when filtering the test you can definitely see it but I’m always of the opinion that if I need a filter to see it I can’t count it 😂

chat gpt is crazy isn’t it ?

Hope you've all managed to stay mostly sane over the weekend! I'm 8dpo today, possibly 9... taken some e@h tests too (I think mine are the same as yours @SquigletChocolatePotato ... wait for 10mins) and negative.

All the symptoms I had since ovulation (backache, crampy, stabbing pains, tingly boobs...) have all stopped now and I'm feeling a lot brighter, less anxious. The only thing I have left is a burning feeling in and off down there! Which I definitely get in the days before AF.

Im kind of assuming that means to expect AF in the next few days (I tend to have a shorter cycle). We will see! Sending you ladies all the best wishes xx

@Biscuitbaby2218ok, so I’m counting O day as Friday and Saturday as 1dpo, which will make me 9DPO today.

I’ve tested a definite negative on an E@H strip, but I’ve realised there’s 2 types; the early test which is 10miu and the standard which is 25miu. I’m not sure which I’ve got, the listing description said the early ones, and the leaflet in the box says from 10miu, but the box and actual test packets don’t say “early pregnancy test” which I think they’re meant to from looking at the pictures. So, who knows 🤷‍♀️🥴

Thats so exciting that you might have felt implantation! I keep getting stabby pains too, and feeling generally under the weather, but I think I might just have a cold and an IBS flare up 🙄😅 Crazy desperate for a baby brain vs rational trying to stay calm and not obsess brain 🫣😓

@Biscuitbaby2218 thanks that is so helpful.
Still no Af based on app should be any day but aware may not he accurate for me.

I am pretty sure i have ovulated... my cm has always been a sign when not on contraception.

Alot goes on inside after stopping so who knows. I am just going to sit tight and hope I conceive as soon as possible. I will keep testing- not over the next few days but mod week if no sign of AF and keep updated xx

@Orangeroses243 i did ovulate 4 weeks after stopping and then had my first Af 2 weeks after that. I was on the progesterone only pill after being on it for about 3 years ☺️ hope that helps in any way !

will also add after my first period 6 weeks after stopping I’ve since had 2 completely normal cycles so fingers crossed your cycles will still be normal for you after your first one !

im doing okay today hope you’re doing well too ☺️

@SquigletChocolatePotato im 8dpo today so right in the middle of the implantation window which is usually between 6dpo and 10dpo ! I’m definitely hoping it was implantation and not my body just being a little weird 😅 I also wish I had a friend to dump my crazy on but I’m trying to keep the fact I’m ttc under wraps for the time being.

in terms of O day for you I’d say Friday. Once you get your static I think people tend to ovulate 24-48 hours after the first static smiley. I will preface that with I’ve never used the Cb smiley tests though so I’m definitely not 100% qualified 😂

in general though I’m pretty sure rule of thumb is 24-48 hours after LH surge the egg is released ? If I’m not mistaken 😅
