New thread!

@Chivari Birmingham! So not far x

@CrystalBlaze I agree, you're not out yet!!

@CrystalBlaze - AF due Sunday for me so only hit to hold out a couple of days..... 🤞🏻

In terms of 'symptoms' I'm still getting creamy twinges - not like AF ones, but no spotting or anything.... I'm also super tired and gassy, which isn't usual for me (sorry tmi!!!!). Trying not to clutch at straws with the symptom spotting but finding it really hard !

6dpo sounds early for AF @saze4, what are your cycles usually like? Hopefully it could be implantation bleeding x

@ValidUser @ttcat32 yay we are at the same point then! When are you both due AF? We probably won't stay on the same cycle for long though as mine have been between 30 and 40 days 🙄 @Crossfitgirl glad you've had a chat and are feeling better about it all. I think it's an ongoing process with the husbands, reminding them of their role in all this. They forget and fall into old habits so fast!

@cupcakesandglitter @ttcat32 thank you xxx

Haha, just re-read my post and it's meant to say *crampy twinges not creamy!!! 😂

I have a break for a night and there's so much to catch up on!
Just to put it out there, am I the only one from wales? Haha 😅

@mrsm2017 you are being very good not testing! Just 2 more days to go, fingers crossed, the symptoms sound promising!

@cupcakesandglitter @sunshine1987 @daisiesandpeonies thank you, I feel like the reigns have been let off!!

@purplestar9 I am gonna have to take a break for a bit as I'm getting nothing done in the day when I try read and catch up / reply to everyone!

@crystalblaze I'd hold out til AF is due then test again if you're late... you just can't be sure when you test early!

Happy Friday everyone! Xxx

@Crossfitgirl 😘 morning xx

@daisiesandpeonies I'm due AF Monday. I have 27 day cycles.

I feel so sick it's unbelievable. Probably just my antibiotics for uti but I can't help crossing my fingers!

Unfortunately only 7 dpo so highly unlikely to have a positive test. (This didn't stop me from poas but bfn as expected because it's too early.)

Trying to look back at my period calendar before I found out I was pregnant. By that I should be due 21st August so I think I've completely missed ovulation and these pains are period pains :( if I take my miscarriage as a period it brings me to the 28th and my ovulation dates would be spot on!

@Delilah7 now might be a good time to try OPKs. Even if just for your next cycle.

Your recent pregnancy could have altered your cycle making an app less accurate (at least temporarily).

@ValidUser might have to get some for next cycle like you said as I defo think I'm out... :( makes me so sad.

I know the feeling!

You might still be in, though.

My negative test made me feel out (especially because it was a FRER and it's only 3 days before my period) but holding on to a little bit of hope because it's not that long since I ovulated so could actually be due period in 6-7 days. Gah this stuff pushes us all over the edge a bit, I think!

@ValidUser I feel so bloody drained but I can't and won't give up! X

@CrystalBlaze @MrsM2017 11 dp is still early maybe try again in a few days ? Really hope this is the month for both of you

@ValidUser not long till you can test 🤞

@daisiesandpeonies I've had 37/39/54 so no idea although given that I don't know when or if I've OV I think this will be at least 40 🙄

@Delilah7 the opk's would be a good idea, if anything it will put your mind at rest that you've not missed out. I've ordered the clear blue ones to come today. I got those 2 nearly positive cheapies but nothing since then and haven't had any other symptoms of IV so I'm thinking it didn't happen

Have a great Friday everyone! X

@ttcat32 I'm going to try some highly rated cheap ones form amazon first see if that works and if not I'll go to clearblue ones xx

Hi, can I join? I've stopped taking my pill after a little chat with my fiance last night, we're getting married next month so we just kind of felt it was time!

@FairyDogMother11 yay! Welcome. Xx

@delilah7 I agree, OPKs might be a good idea for you. I like the cheap ones, I have a clear blue for this month but I might just stick with what I know to be honest cos it worked last month!

@validuser How many dpo are you? Even if you are due on your period, if you're not many dpo you might need to test again a bit later. Fingers crossed.

@ttcat32 I think the OPKs can easily miss the surge so I wouldn't worry. Id take the faint lines as your ov. Last month I went a bit mad and did 3 a day, but I found my surge so I was happy.

I have been temping for 3 days now and I have found it really stressful!! I'm not a morning person, so as soon as Im slightly awake, I'm panicking about doing the temp straight away, then I don't know what readings are normal so had to Google whether 35.8 is even normal! I'm not sure I want to keep it up :-( waking up stressed is not good!

Welcome @fairydogmother11congratulations on your pending wedding! Great time to come off! Although make sure you don't get your first period on your wedding day!! 😂😂

@Crossfitgirl I'm ringing the doctors to speak to my nurse because I'm just really concerned. I've defo got pains like the miscarriage again. :/ xx

@ValidUser until you see the blood that hope never dies I'm afraid! @ttcat32 glad I'm not alone then, my cycles areall over the place never have a clue what's going on although...
I'VE JUST DONE A POSITIVE OVULATION TEST!!!! Wooohoo, so happy I could run around to tell the neighbours in my bath towel 😂 CD24 and a big fat smiley face smiling back at me. Toniiiiighhhhhttttt is sexy niiiiigghhhht - as I just sang down the phone to my husband at work. Super hot, no? We did it last night too so celebrations all round.

@daisiesandpeonies well done hunny! Let the fun commence xx

@delilah7 good idea, let us know how it goes.

@daisiesandpeonies woohooooooo!!!! I'm so happy for you!!! I know how I felt when I got mine and it was the best feeling ever! So satisfying isn't it!! Have you got a big fat positive OPK pic for us??? What a great way to start the weekend!! Xxx

@Crossfitgirl I will honey ❤️

@daisiesandpeonies good luck!! X

@Delilah7 I agree with everyone on the OPKs, it might help x let us know how it goes, fx it's all okay x

My mood completely dropped yesterday. I don't know what it was or why, but I've felt like shit. Waited for DH to come home, still couldn't pinpoint why I felt crap and then burst out crying for no reason.... a few hours later queue a petty argument with DH and now we aren't talking 😩 don't think we'll be DTD anytime soon, so I think I'm out for this month. I've ruined it 😔
