I'm sure I've forgotten some. I'll tag more!

@Daisydoodles92 @ValidUser I've just tested again and it's negative so I guess that must have been a cp or an evap line. Ahhh thought it was too good to be true!

@MrsEG take care of yourself. Panic attacks are awful and there's no shame at all in having them.

@MrsH497 I'm so sorry to hear this.

@Larrydavid your urine will be more dilute now. Test again tomorrow. X

@Jooloo11 no other surgeries, but I did have a horrendous infection and the appendix wasn't actually removed until 2 years later.

I usually orgasm before we actually have sex (not everyone's cup of tea, but I like it!).
Thinking of using a soft cup after sex next month if needs be!

@MrsH497 so sorry to hear about those poor people. Sending love. X

Thanks @Larrydavid @ELW85 @ValidUser just a really crappy time. My heart breaks for my friend who's now got to deliver her baby. Not the best few weeks.

@ValidUser when are you going to test?

@MrsH497 I did a FRER to make sure the trigger was truly out and it is.

Tomorrow or Tuesday on I'll test. Still only 8 or 9 dpo.

@MrsEG sorry about your panic attack. Rest and TLC sound exactly like what's needed. I hope the counseling specialist is helpful and that you get your blood results through soon. Speak to you soon ❤️

@Larrydavid it's looking like a faint BFP to me. When is AF supposed to be due? May be early hence the faint line. From what I've read hcg is supposed to double every 48 hours, so may be worth waiting a day or two? Fx!!

@MrsH497 I'm so sorry to hear that. Life can be so cruel sometimes x

@ValidUser I tried to buy another test for the morning but the pharmacy was shut 🙄 but you're right, need to test again with fmu.

@LokiCat I'm not really sure. I think today is day 28 of my cycle. Maybe 29 (I didn't have a standard af last month, just spotting and light bleeding - I've had a coil for 15 years and am not in a regular cycle at all).

I think I'll try testing again on Tuesday if af isn't here and keep everything crossed til then.

@ValidUser keeping everything crossed for your testing this week too! Hope that trigger has done its job.

@Larrydavid - exciting, look forward to seeing your next test but looked positive to me!

Guys my boobs feel like they're on fire 😣 and rock solid. Bloody uncomfortable! Not entirely sure if/when I ovulated, but possibly 7dpo, so countdown now/serious symptom spotting, much as I always say I won't 😂

@starkid - that sounds promising! Everything crossed for you!

@Jooloo11 I don't orgasm everytime, but think maybe I should start doing that

@MrsH497 so sorry to hear it's a rubbish time.

@starkid, I know what you mean about trying to spot the symptoms, we all do it and say we won't. Fingers crossed for you.

Original and tweaked. Think I'm seeing something. May be imagining. 9/10 dpo.

@Validuser, I can't make it bigger so it's hard to say, but it's so early... I'll be checking in to see your updates and sending massive bfp vibes your way!! Xxx

@ValidUser fingers crossed. I can't see anything but my eye sight is rubbish and I can't make it bigger.

AF came today for me I think. So my positive must have been a CP. Boo. Onwards and upwards!

@Imjustme2019 sorry I am only replying now - I used to log my period and sex - that's it. I would forget to log anything else if I am honest. I took the OV date as gospel (cause I forgot to temp last month) and as it was a Sat we DTD on Fri, Sat and Sun. Clearly it did the trick. That was cycle 5 of trying for us.

@Larrydavid!! sorry to hear you think AF came, especially after the line on the test!!

@Validuser I can see a faint line in one of the pics, I have often not seen lines on peoples pics and others have so I am not the best person to ask! As your in the same kind of area as me, what hops are you thinking of using? I haven't a clue yet and we have 4 within the same kind of distance.

Hi everyone!

I have once again been quiet, but been keeping up with all the news again on here. So many BFPs - each one gives me hope and keeps me going! Keep sharing please!!

I quit my job a couple of weeks ago. So this month am not quite so desperate as would not have maternity pay at all, not even statutory. Plus I go to Glastonbury at the end of the month which would be a bitch sober. So then I am also thinking, sod's law would have this be my month! ha ha!!

As it goes, my BBT is going up and up, though I am only 7 dpo today, so might just be that I have a fever.

@fivebyfive2 WOW oh WOW!! Fabulous. Really so so pleased for you, know its been a long time coming. Wishing you a wonderful remaining 7months of pregnancy. xxxx

@Jooloo11 In answer to your orgasm question, I try and do so after OH has shot his load. I think as the cervix contracts, it sucks it all up. So I lie on my back, with my ass on a pillow and get OH to finish me off.. hardly romantic, but needs must.

@MrsH497 so sorry for your sad news, wishing your friend strength to recover from her loss. xx

On another note, does anyone else find folic acid gives them spots? I have had such bad skin since I started TTC, and have tried everything, quitting gluten, dairy, soy etc. Expensive creams, vitamins, you name it! Then I suddenly clicked and thought maybe it's the folic acid. And a google search suggests there are others with a similar issue. So I have stopped taking it and my skin is clearing up, and now I am dosing up on natural sources of folate instead - like spinach, kale, beans and lentils.

Wishing you all a happy Monday! :-)

Sorry for AF and your CP @Larrydavid. X

Ok, here's my last obsessive pic of the day. Same test at 5 mins.

Morning ladies

Has anyone had any experience of low progesterone? My temp is stalled/crawling up since Ov (2 days ago) and it’s really on my mind.
I don’t usually get a spike, but I do get consistently higher temps so I’m just a little concerned.
Any previous experience/advice is greatly received :)

@ValidUser have you the flash on or off when taking the pics?

@ImMeantToBeWorking off! How are you?

@ValidUser they look really bright. I am still seeing a faint line in one of the pics. I am good, busy weekend so I am currently shattered but I only have a three day week this week so roll on Wednesday evening! lol how are you??

@ImMeantToBeWorking I'll be going to UCHG. My fertility guy is also an obstetrician there. Best resourced hospital of the local ones.
