@Boboelephant I had a huge temp drop this morning and sat there with a pot of pee debating whether or not to bother. So glad I did!

Amazing @HidCat!! Fantastic news!!

Hidcat that's great news!!! How many DPO are you??? Congratulations

@Pampl3m0usse I hope you're feeling better, that is a LOT to have to deal with.

@Funkyemzie I can't believe she used them name! At best that's really insensitive!

@Hidcat Congratulations!

I'm off to the clinic this morning for a scan to see if I've managed to grow some follicles. Fingers crossed for a good follicle or two (but not more than three or cycle will be cancelled!)

@weasledee 11dpo. Had a few symptoms that were unusual for me but almost didn't test as I had a massive temp drop this morning! As in back to pre-ovulation temps. It was at a different time and I'd woken up an hour earlier though so I talked myself into testing as the feeling sick at thought of chocolate last night was very strange for me (but of a chocoholic lol). Just got to hope this one sticks. 🤞

Just checking in ladies!

@HidCat amazing, massive congrats. Everything crossed for you that it’s a sticky bean 🤞

@Lovemysparkle so nice to see that you got your BFP. Come join us on the other thread whenever you feel ready, I hope you have a healthy and happy pregnancy 😊

Fingers crossed there’s lots more good news this month. Good luck to everyone in FW and TWW!

@HidCat OMG!! OMG OMG!! Yay!! Defo a line!!!

@HidCat yah!!!!!! I knew it was your month- I just had a feeling!! Congratulations- amazing news hun!!!!

@HidCat yay congratulations! 🎉 that's great news! Fingers crossed for you for a sticky healthy bean!

@TinyPaws good luck for today!

So pleased to see this thread - I disappeared from the original one for a while cos loads of people were getting BFPs and talking about scans and it just made me a bit sad 😢

Morning guys, that's for you lovely words. Still pissed off but I'll live. I did fall asleep in the end.

@Hidcat YEY I'm so pleased for you hun, this is the best news! I so so hope this is a sticky bean for you!!! Xxx

@hidcat woo hoo congratulations fx for a sticky bean.

@funkyemzie that is a bit low for your friend to use the name without asking.

@tinypaws good luck today

Welcome newbies and sorry you find yourselves here.

Think I am due to ov today and not yet managed to dtd this fw so bit frustrated. Oh well at least I can relax in the tww and look forward to next cycle hopefully less stressed and healthier.

Fx for all testing soon.

Amazing news @HidCat congratulations!!! X

Congratulations @HidCat fantastic news!

Good luck at the clinic today @TinyPaws !

8dpo today and not sure anything is happening really - some cramps the last couple of days but nothing else, and feel a bit better today. Trying to decide whether to buy tests - used all mine up after MC. Probably should get some today or tomorrow if I'm going to though, as after that I won't get a chance around work and then we're off on holiday! A part of me would like to just wait and see if AF comes... I think a few of us are in the 7-8-9dpo time, is anyone planning to test early?

Congratulations to all of those with BFPs. Fills me with hope.

I am back to work today, 1 week post miscarriage. Looking forward to get back into a routine, but hoping I can hold my sh&t down, as still a bit emotional.

Wishing you all a good day and baby dust

Yes @PurpleFushia go get some tests! Be good to test before you go then u know either way. Fingers crossed for you babe. X

I'm officially out this month, 14dpo, I never get to this point, normally 12dpo is the latest and temp still up, however, af has arrived in her full force this morning...my back is in pieces!!! Maybe just the weather with the high temps?

Going to start with the OPK's as soon as AF finishes this cycle so we don't miss ovulation this month. @Llondbol it will be our time soon, my MC was feb/mar, it will happen, sending positive hugs.

@Hidcat how often did u dtd in fw? Going to try SMEP this time, just need to catch ovulation. 😂

@HidCat congratulations, I'm glad one of us cycle twins got lucky this month. I just wish both of us could be lucky! I had another huge temp drop this morning so I think I'm not going to be as lucky as you. If AF doesn't show up by tomorrow I'll test again though, she's due today and my temps are pretty consistent with previous cycles so I think I know how this is going to pan out.

@Llondbol welcome back. It can be hard I know! Often feel like the old cheese here as so many people come and go and I seem to stay! Hopefully it's our turn soon.
@HidCat can you post your chart??
@fnej01 hope work goes ok.
@Funkyemzie sorry af arrived.
@PurpleFushia go get some tests!
Who else is testing this week???

@Hindcat congrats!

@Llondbol hello! I keep on dropping off for similar reasons - trying one more month than you and all I have to show for it is one more MC. It's hard to keep cheery. Fingers crossed and baby dust

@Llondbol welcome back I know what you mean, I feel like so many of the original people I joined with have moved on now with BFPs so although I'm obviously happy for them as it gives me hope, it also stings a bit and I feel like I'm being left behind. Hugs and hope you're feeling a bit better in yourself

@hidcat huge congratulations hunny❤️ My bfp a week before wedding day was like a sledge hammer between my eyes!! So I took a breath & tried to carry on as “NORMAL” as possible 🙈🙈 so happy for you😁😁
@hayleyfx thank you sweetie I will pop in later & establish myself 😁
Hope you all have a good day ladies ❤️❤️

@Funkyemzie that is very insensitive. I'm very sorry. Perhaps she thought she was doing it in memory of your little one? Maybe you should have another chat with her and tell her how you feel. My best friend also has a new born, I held him and fed him. It was therapeutic, but did make me feel a little sad, especially watching my husband do the same.

@HidCat I'm so so pleased for you. Sending lots of love! It really helps me to hear about everyone's successes.

Just before my second af a few weeks ago all my pregnancy symtoms returned and I was 2 days late. It was so weird I was convinced I was pregnant, and heartbroken when it was negative. I guess perhaps I want to warn people whose bodies may still be recovering post miscarriage that this can happen whilst the hormones readjust. I'm on cd13 today and the opks are getting stronger. Giving SMEP a try which I think will be helpful for us, what with having a fertility issue.

@hidcat wonderful news. Congratulations. x

@HidCat amazing news gorgeous!!!! 😍😍😍

@HidCat congratulations lovely fx for you and
