Hope you all don't mind me starting this one off, but last one was nearly full... already,
Hi to all the newbies ☺️ sorry for everyone I missed, just went through some of the recents, so please mark your place 😊

Morning 😊

Sorry to hear a few of you had a bad day, hopefully today you feel a little better. Nothing worse than a Monday!

@whatsthecraic91 sorry for the BFN,
Your not out til af tho 🤞🏻

@MrsH497 yeh I was told not to take ibuprofen by someone on here, as @Kiza said heat packs usually do a good job of helping

@MIW01 never managed to check my cervix successfully, so interesting tho! Might try next cycle. All sounds good tho, so get dtd 😂 your temperatures are maybe a bit all over with the weather? I keep finding it really close and hot at night so opening my window more etc and wondered if that's also affecting my temps? I had a dip below cover line yesterday at 4dpo which I found odd too!

Sorry for that posting so many times, it kept saying error 🙈🙈

Thanks ladies I'll go and get a heat pack to ease the pain and spasm!

@Lottiepink still no AF so 🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼

@MrsH497 how's the neck now? I'm still grumpy 😡DP bought me some flowers (which he never does as he thinks they're pointless) so I must be bad if he's done that! 🤦🏼‍♀️ how's your mood @MrsH497 @LokiCat ?

Hey @Kiza fewer spasms which is good but I'm shattered every time I turned over last night it went into spasm so early night for me. Nice warm shower and got some heat patches for work tomorrow.
Mood is better I think mum is convinced it'll happen soon and so is my dad apparently! Bizarre parents I have!

How's everyone else? X

Evening ladies! When mumsnet went down yesterday i could see that people were tagging me in messages but i couldnt actually find them on the thread so i am sorry if i haven't responded to anyone! Think its back up and running properly now :D

How is everyone doing?

I am cycle day 8 so started our own version of SMEP yesterday :)

@Kiza ah no, sorry you're still feeling grumpy! I hope the flowers helped a bit? Is it worth taking a break from TTC, if it's making you this stressful/affecting your moods? I know it can be the last thing you want to do sometimes when you've been trying for so long.
I'm a lot better today thanks, mostly because it's our 2 year anniversary so we went out for a lovely dinner before DH had to shoot off for a night shift!

@MrsH497 glad your spasms have lessened! Hope you manage a better nights sleep tonight x

@Anny27 MN was all over the place for me! Gave up trying to message during the day. Yay for new SMEP cycle! Fingers crossed this one is the one. Also, hopefully you'll be less shattered this time following your own version!

5dpo today and I can't believe how sore my breasts have been the last 2/3 days. I've had to stop DH from hugging me too hard as they really hurt. Never had that this early.. 🤔

Have a good night all! X

@MrsH497 wow that sounds awful! Really hope you get a better nights sleep tonight and some rest.
@LokiCat yeah we've taken 2 months break and booked flights for Cape Town for new year so will start TTC again next cycle, I thought it'd help me but it hasn't unfortunately. I don't often get down or grumpy, I'm usually one of those positive upbeat people so just feeling off since the weekend.
Congratulations on your anniversary today and lovely that you got to spend some quality time together

So AF due today (7th) according to Flo, no sign as of yet, no cramps etc, however not due until 9th on Glow and not till 11th on Ovia so 🤷🏼‍♀️🤷🏼‍♀️🤷🏼‍♀️ no idea what's happening

@LokiCat - happy anniversary for yesterday! I hope you had a lovely time! X

@LokiCat that’s a good sign tho!!

Still no AF for me, 3 days late now still spotting on and off. Really reluctant to test 😓

@Kiza bless him getting you flowers, really sweet, hope it helped a little, my dh is the same 🙈😂

@MrsH497 aww how lovely tho, hope their positive vibes are right 🤞🏻

@LokiCat sounds like a lovely anniversary, just nice to get a few hours out together isn't it 😊 6 dpo today and no symptoms for me... hope your sore boobs are a good sign!

@flossy12 it's so confusing isn't it, which app is usually the most accurate?

@whatsthecraic91 you're doing well to resist testing, are you cycles usually really regular, or can they sometimes differ month to month?

@Lottiepink tbh none have always been on the mark, Flo was one day out last month I think but this is the first time I've had a positive OPK during my cycle x

@flossy12 you should get a better idea after this cycle then, sorry I can't remember if you temp or not but My app is pretty accurate but i think the temps really help , and when I ovulate later than normal, it instantly puts my af due date back. I suppose you will kinda have to wait it out ☹️ fingers crossed for you af doesn't arrive 😊

Morning all!

@Kiza oh that sounds brilliant, Cape Town will be amazing I'm sure. I've always wanted to visit South Africa.
I hope you're feeling better this morning.
Thank you! We don't always get quality time together because of DH's work, so I'm glad when we get date nights here and there! 😊

@ELW85 thanks lovely! It was a really good night and we went to a Thai restaurant, which I love 😊 I hope you've been getting on okay? Xx

@whatsthecraic91 true, I'm trying not to get my hopes though because it's quite early (don't think it would have even implanted yet)..
Sorry that you're still stuck in limbo. It's difficult when you want to test but then don't want to see a bfn again.. Are your cycles generally quite regular (sorry if you've already answered).

@Lottiepink yeah I love a good date night thanks lovely. 6dpo is early so no symptoms isn't too much to worry about! I think the sore boobs is due to the progesterone tbh.
Fingers crossed it's a positive cycle!

Have a great Wednesday all 😊

@Lottiepink yea my cycles are usually 28/29/30 but this is now CD33! I tested on Monday morning and it was BFN! Definitely waiting until the weekend to retest if AF doesn’t show between now and then!

No spotting today so far but a bit crampy don’t know what to think

@LokiCat yes deffo feel less pressure this cycle with SMEP! The sore boobs sounds promissing! Will you wait till AF is late to test or will you test early? P.s happy anniversary :D

@flossy12 ah how frustrating that all the apps have different predictions!

@whatsthecraic91 good going for waitingto test again till the weekend. I dont think i would have the restraint!

@Lottiepink I haven't tempted a cycle yet no, just been following my moods, Cm and all that business, yeah I mean there's time yet but fingers crossed!!

@Anny27 I know 🙃🙃 for the last cycle or two they've been the same dates but this positive OPK has thrown them all off

Hi all,

Could I possibly borrow people's line eyes? The test line is 100% pink in colour and shown up within a few minutes. I've used tests out of this batch before and have never got anything more than a very clear negative. I'm only 10dpo. I've uploaded to PreMom and it's saying positive but I still don't know. Thank you in advance! X

@Makingawish I didn't even need to open that photo to see the line, that's 100% a positive!!
Huge congratulations lovely! That's a great line for 10dpo! Will you test on a FRER?

@Anny27 thank you! 😊 I always say I'll wait till AF is late to test, but then end up testing early with the IC 😂 if my temp is still rising, I may test next Wednesday!
I think less pressure makes it a lot more enjoyable. Have everything crossed for you 😊

@LokiCat ahhh really?! I'm struggling to believe it 😭 I had a BFN on Monday! Yeah I'm going to use a FRER when I can squeeze another wee out 🤣

@Makingawish definitely a positive there! Congratulations 😊x

@Makingawish congratulations :D always perks me up so much when i see a positive on here :) :) :)

@LokiCat i need to get some ICs i have some frers which makes me hold on a little longer during the tww as i dont want to waste 4 pound for it to be negative haha!

@Anny27 @whatsthecraic91 @LokiCat thank you 💜 I just done a FRER to make sure and that's undoubtedly a BFP. I just can't believe it.
