Old one almost full!

@starkid - nice to hear from you :) I hope you’re doing well and everything crossed that you get a BFP before September!

@LokiCat - I think the Pregnacare has enough B Vit in to help with progesterone/LP issues but not enough to suppress Ov.
I’ve been taking 100mg of a B complex on top to try and improve my progesterone but I’m now thinking it’s suppressed my Estrogen too much.
Lessen learned!
Hopefully it’s got a short half life so will be out of my system soon!

Hey ladies! Hope you've all had a good week!

@LikeTheFruit huge congratulations! 🎊 so exciting

I survived Glastonbury- I managed to keep to SMEP (apart from the last DTD - which frankly was too inconvenient as I was running around a field!) I'm not convinced I really know when I'm ovulating- OPKs say one thing then (tmi) EWCM follows days later! Anyone else had this?

But I'm feeling pretty chilled about it. I might be 5dpo - I don't think I'm going to test this month because last months CP was a bit crappy. But we'll see!

How is everyone doing? Going to read back through posts whilst I sit on the sofa with a pizza!

@Larrydavid - welcome back! What was your Glasto highlight?
Jealous of your pizza - I’ve just put my gym gear on :(

@ELW85 I'm in my gym gear eating pizza! (Seems very unlikely that I'll head to the gym today!) highlights were Kylie and the streets - both were so unbelievably good (and completely different from each other!) How are you doing?

@orangeloo that's so much, and also thanks for the sperm laugh!!

Whoops posted too soon

Thanks @Larrydavid hope Glasto was fab!

Hi all! Just to update, I had my 12 weeks scan today, they put me at 12 and 5 which is awesome!! All good, feeling super relieved and very excited!! I'll still be popping on to see those bfps!! Xx

@Fivebyfive2 omg congrats!! Lovely scan pic ❤️ I did admittedly see this on the other thread but I've been silently lurking for a bit 😂 ps you were round the corner from me, I'm less than five mins from where you had it done! Told you we lived close 😂 xx

Hope all you ladies are okay, sorry I've been a bit silent - finally getting my bloody garden sorted!!! Xx

Just checking in...
@Fivebyfive2 what a beautiful sight 😍 I bet you are over the moon!

@LikeTheFruit congratulations 😊 lovely news! Hard when going to the wedding tho, especially if you would normally drink. I would be screwed as everyone knows how much I love a vino 😬 see how you feel, maybe give yourself up to a week before and see if you feel it's a good time to say?

@Larrydavid pleased you enjoyed glasto, was watching it on tv a bit over the weekend, looked fab! I get the ewcm a few days before opk is positive but it seems to lessen between then and ovulation, but think that it's more it stays in and not come out as dh notices I'm more slippy 🙈 tmi 🤣

@orangeloo gave me a laugh too, Hope your dh sperm analysis goes well tho, we are getting booked for my dh to get his done, and I've told him the exact same, think it makes them feel a little bit better about it all 😊

@MrsEG I'm sure I'll be back on before Friday, but really have my fingers crossed for you for Friday 😊

I got a positive opk this morning, negative tonight, so think I maybe missed the surge over night? Got a few twinges which are quite strong. I would say from how I feel that I'm going to ovulate tonight? But will have to dtd and wait for temps.. my apps saying Wednesday tho... we will see 😊

@Larrydavid - pizza and Glasto both sound awesome! I would have loved to have seen Stormzy :)

@Fivebyfive2 - congratulations- lovely scan photo!

@Lottiepink - seems we’re all having weird OPKs this month! Good luck with it and hope you get an answer soon!

My OPKs went to high earlier this evening so I have no idea if I’m gearing up for a late Ov or missed the surge. Time/temps will tell I guess!
Gonna DTD tonight to make sure we’re covered :)

@cupcakesandglitter, hi sweet!! How are you? I'm impressed you've done your garden, I absolutely sucj at gardening!! I knew we were close together on the map! My brother has already said he's ordered an Aston Villa baby grow 😂

@Fivebyfive2 I'm good thankyou - I'm rubbish at it too but it NEEDED doing! The couple that were here before very obviously didn't look after it, I couldn't take anymore of a crappy overgrown mess so just decided to keep myself busy with it. We've not been tracking or anything this month so I guess it's worked!! Oh my god how adorable 😭 good on him 😏 how're you? Xx

Morning guys.

Lovely scan pic @Fivebyfive2 must be such a lovely feeling.

Fertility friend users. Does anyone recall what the highest pregnancy score they've been given is and not been pregnant? Mine is 79 today the highest I've ever had. Pretty sure I'm not pregnant though as I tested on a FRER at 11DPO and BFN and I have my usual pre af spotting now.

@Fivebyfive2 awww that picture is lovely. It’s crazy how baby like he/she is after only 12 weeks.

Update - my solid smiley arrived this morning. Finally! So now I need to DTD today, tomorrow and Thursday (and we did it yesterday too). SMEP is hard. Wish me luck 😫

@XjustagirlX - great news! Let’s hope I’m not far behind you :)

@orangeloo - ah sorry mate, I didn’t even know there was a score like that on there!
Is it just based on symptoms?

@LikeTheFruit I would play it by ear just now, when I was bridesmaid for a friend I was so busy going round and speaking to people that I hardly drank. You could always just have something like a lemonade so it looks like a G&T? I second @ELW85 regarding missing the surge and getting a BFP 🤞🏻

@LokiCat I hope the first day back wasn't too rough! Sore head has gone thanks but feel a bit queasy today, think its this weather it seems to have drained me of all my energy!

@orangeloo hope you are ok, howling at spermatozoon 😂gave me a right good giggle!!

@Larrydavid glad to hear that Galsto was fun, I was having some serious jealousy watching it on the TV as it looked awesome. Did you manage to DTD tent style?

@Fivebyfive2 what a fantastic scan pic ❤️

@orangeloo I don't have any FF score? Do you have the premium subscription?

@XjustagirlX good going with SMEP it deffo is hard keeping up the momentum!

Hope everyone has a fab Tuesday, OH is away to York for a training course today so it will be a late night for me staying up to pick him up from the station tonight!

@Lozzlepop - have you decided if you’re testing today?

My OPKs have gone back down to low. It’s all so odd. I’m still not convinced I’ve missed the surge as I always have a day of high, a day of peak and then a day of high.
I can only think the B vits have delayed Ov by a couple of days, but either way I guess we’ll know in a day or so when my temps go up or the OPKs ramp up again!
Just keeping everything crossed it’s not an anovulatory cycle :(

@ELW85 I think I am going to try and hold off as long as possible, although those FRERs did get delivered yesterday 😂That is odd, but hopefully you have OVd and got all the bases covered!

@Lozzlepop - I think if I hadn’t have had good blood results, I’d be panicking by now, so I can only assume it’s delayed.
Time will tell!

Oh god I couldn’t hold off if FRERs landed at my door 😂
Got everything crossed for you!

@PippaPug just going through old messages! We didn't do it in the end, we did it just before we set off for glasto! Haha. Managed SMEP minus the last one. I think that's a good enough effort for this month! How are you doing?

@FlapJackered 👯‍♀️ - how many dpo are you? I think I'm on 7 maybe? How you feeling?

@Lozzlepop how you finding smep? We found it pretty hilarious. Kinda romantic the first few days then full on laughter during the last few days like we were on a secret mission 😂

@ELW85 hopefully it's not an anovulatory cycle - maybe it's just an unpredicatable cycle. Sounds like you've covered all eventualities though so hopefully you're good!

@XjustagirlX good luck with smep - my advice is laugh about how ridiculous it is (and use pressed if it gets a bit too much! 😬)

@Fivebyfive2 gorgeous pic!

@ELW85 fingers crossed you know whats happening soon! I am trying to be good as July is an expensive month for my and we have plans 3 out of 4 weekends 😂am only 11DPO today so trying to hold off until nearer the weekend / AF is missed!

@Larrydavid it was ok, we started it just after returning from holiday and DP was still off work so think that made it easier as he was less tired! Yeah by the end of it i think we never wanted to look at each other again for a bit 😂

Hi ladies!
@Fivebyfive2 gorgeous pic!! Just makes this all worth while.

So happy to see the back of May and June crappy months! Suddenly realised though I'd have been 12/13 weeks now so had a dip in my positivity. But just got to pick myself up and carry on it will happen for us all

@MrsEG how you doing?

@Fivebyfive2 what's gorgeous scan picture!!

@Lottiepink thanks so much! I'll keep an eye on the boobs and if they're starting to look silly then I'll say in advance 😂😂.

@Lozzlepop I've recruited DH to help me be a super sleuth, I'm a rum and coke girl so he's been given his instructions 😂😂😂 if you can hold off a few more days that would be great. Everything crossed for you!

@ELW85 it uses symptoms and temps I think yes.

@Lozzlepop yes I have a premium membership although I don't know that I'd bother again.

@Larrydavid - thank you! It’s just a bit rubbish when it feels like one thing after the other, but I’m sure it’ll become clear soon :) just don’t want all of this SMEP to be in vein if something has gone wrong to make it anovulatory.

@orangeloo - ah I didn’t know that! It sounds interesting; I’ll check it out :)

@lozzlepop - it does become an expensive habit! I’ll keep everything crossed for you. Your busy July sounds great though!!
