Not tomorrow, as we won't be leaving Greece until nearly midnight tomorrow (we are on honeymoon!) thinking of testing on Thursday morning because we will be staying at my mums the night we get back from the airport, and don't want to poas at my parents house!! I only have a normal clearblue...do you think that would do the job 2 days before af due, or should I invest in a FRER? Hmm

Honestly I'd wait. If u can. If it's negative it'll raise so many more questions for u.
Imho

MonaTheMoaner · 14/08/2017 20:32

I think I just got my first AF (30 days after implanon removal). It's pretty light right now but at least it's here so I can start properly charting.

WhyTheHeckMe · 14/08/2017 20:59

Hi ladies just reporting back I've got a bfp today at either 10 or 11dpo (hoping that's why it's faint)!

Trying not to get too excited because this is my first cycle since my mc (not even had a period). Feeling very lucky but more apprehensive right now more than anything.

May the luck of the thread continue, I hope to see many more bfps. We are still not even half way through August yet x

Awwww congrats @WhyTheHeckMe
We're on round 2 of TTC!
Fingers crossed we get a BFP this month!!

Polly85 · 15/08/2017 06:46

The bleeding went red this morning, and a lot more of it. Counting it as cd1. Trying not to cry so I don't ruin the last day of our holiday. This is the worst.

Polly85 · 15/08/2017 06:46

The weirdest thing is, I am 5 days early? That never happens Sad

loobylou124 · 15/08/2017 08:04

@Polly the exact same thing has happened to me this month! I'm well and truly off the August bus now, boo. Hugs and better luck for us both in september! X

ladydolly · 15/08/2017 08:20

I'm sorry polly85. I logged on to see how you were getting on hoping for good news. Try and enjoy your last day. Xx

ladydolly · 15/08/2017 08:21

Whoop! Congrats whytheheckme!!

DoAsDreamersDo · 15/08/2017 08:33

Well looks like this is my stop as AF has arrived this morning. Not completely unexpected, and I'm looking forward to trying again in this next cycle. Good luck everyone xx

IntelligentPutty · 15/08/2017 10:00

Congrats @WhyTheHeckMe !!
So sorry to @Polly85 (don't let it ruin your holiday) there is always next month. At least u didn't waste a test? (Always trying to find the positives!!).
And sorry to @loobylou124 , @MonaTheMoaner @DoAsDreamersDo

IntelligentPutty · 15/08/2017 10:01

@Charchar23 when are u due to test.

Charchar23 · 15/08/2017 16:45

@IntelligentPutty
I'm not due to test until very end of August....my app says I'm fertile from today! But I don't trust the app, so as soon as I came off AF (10/08/2017) we started to DTD again! At least that way we hit ovulation whenever I do ovulate! So far we DTD on 11th, 12th and 14th of August! 😂 So fingers crossed we get the BFP this month!

Polly85 · 15/08/2017 16:57

Thanks everyone. Sitting waiting for our Thomson coach to take us to the airport, drinking a sprite and feeling moody as hell. Angry at least I have 2 weeks of eastenders to catch up on when I get home. Xx

UnicornsandRainbows1 · 15/08/2017 18:31

Well I've fucked myself over and I knew I would do yet I still did it. 9dpo; thought it was an evap cuz it was thin, grey, could barely see it... can't get a pick on camera cuz you can't see it on there. Now I'm not so sure. Fuck why am I so fucking stupid?!

UnicornsandRainbows1 · 15/08/2017 18:44

This is the best I could do. Fully prepared to be told I'm a complete twat (which I clearly am)

intelligentPutty · 15/08/2017 18:47

Ha. @Polly85 well that'll cheer u up. Always works for me!! Big glass of wine and a eastenders feast!!

@Charchar23 don't blame u. I thoight the app was 'right' then compared to my opk this month it was way way off! I won't trust it again.
Fx for u at end of month. Keep dtd. Sounds like u are well on track.

@UnicornsandRainbows1 I feel for u. I got myself right at it on first cycle after my mmc in may. Thought I could feel cm at ovulation. It was when it should be. Dtd many times. Read some CRAP article about how u think u are fertile but you are not. And loads others saying u are more fertile. All to totally fucking screw with your head.
Sending positive thoughts your way for a BFP in a few days time.

Just getting myself into the frame that there is always next month. Boobs feeling normal. I think I'm on a bit of a low about this all. What with only getting chance every other month.

intelligentPutty · 15/08/2017 18:51

Btw. Anyone read about how oral sex can mess u up too.
I have to put a total ban on it during fertile week which is not preferred by hubby.
I read that the saliva is a killer for the sperm.

UnicornsandRainbows1 · 15/08/2017 19:21

@IntelligentPutty 100%. Some small amount of people happen to be fertile and catch before anything happens and it's blasted all over the internet as a well-known fact. Sadly at that point I think we all just want answers and to know our odds afterwards so it's pretty tough.

intelligentPutty · 15/08/2017 20:29

Yeah. But odds are a load of sh*t I've come to realise. It will happen if it happens.
X

intelligentPutty · 15/08/2017 20:29

But I do really hope u get the BFP if not this month then very very soon. Xx

HolyShmoly · 15/08/2017 20:43

I haven't had a positive OPK yet, but I'm pretty confident that I'm in my fertile week. Other than DTD every day and using concieve+ is there anything else I should be doing?

UnicornsandRainbows1 · 15/08/2017 21:25

@intelligentPutty Absolutely! I think I'll just wait a bit longer and take joy in the fact that I've even made it to 9dpo so far. I thought my cycle afterwards would be completely insane
