@Lottiepink I'll be fine, just need to get used to the idea, they were never official and it didn't last long but that isn't the point 😂😂 it would be uncomfortable even if it had been a one night stand aha

Managed to BD tonight out of nowhere so seems that she hasn't done too much damage to the baby train 😅

@MrsH497 I'm hoping for you too - I can't remember if I posted here what happened to me (please skip over if I have 😂) but I think I ovulated on the 13th July, so well class 14th as 1DO. My LP is 14 days, so when I started spotting at 10DPO I thought crap, I've missed ov and AF will start in a couple of days. Had light spotting with nothing on a panty liner, only when I wiped (but there was definitely some on the tissue, not a dot like I've read on some threads). 12DPO and still spotting - 13DPO and I'm still spotting which I thought was really really weird, I only ever spot at most two days so four days was really odd. Still didn't think I was pregnant, just assumed my body was being weird again! Throughout the four days I had BAD cramping, like really really horrible period pains! I was actually crying on 13DPO saying to my mum something wasn't right. Woke up on 14DPO and spotting had gone so I tested, and straightaway a strong line came up! I was so surprised and tbh still can't believe it now 😂😂 I know there's lots of varying implantation stories on the internet but it's not just a couple of spots OR just a couple of hours either, it really varies. Hope that helps (and I've not put you back to sleep) xxxx

Morning @cupcakesandglitter!! You could never send me to sleep we've all been here supporting each other!
Well barely anything overnight small amount of brown which for apparent day 3 of af is not normal for me. I've not had a period this light in years!
No sore boobs (did last time I was pg) had a light cramping last night.

When do I test? I'm probably 13dpo now af would've been due tomorrow I think
How are you doing lovely? X

@MrsH497 I'd test tomorrow - if it's pg 14DPO should give you a nice clear line! The only time I've ever had super light AF was cycles that I didn't ovulate - not to get your hopes up at all but just in case then it's something to bear in mind, but I really think and hope this is it for you ❤️ I'm doing well Thankyou, I don't feel pregnant at all but DH has seen a massive difference in me apparently, I'm a lot happier according to him too. I am super tired though, I slept from around 8.45pm until 5am waking up once at 12 when DH got into bed - I usually sleep for four hours a night 😂😂 we had a scan yesterday which showed us our little smidge and it's heartbeat, and although I'm excited I am SO nervous about losing this too, apparently the more losses you've had, the slightly higher chance you have of mc again so I'm very on edge tbh. None of this whole process is easy honestly, I was so naive before we started TTC 😂 how are you? X

OMG you've had a scan! So exciting! My mum noticed changes in me last time before I even tested! I really get the anxiety, I have it anyway and TTC/pregnancy/miscarriage just makes the anxiety worse.

I think it's either I haven't ovulated despite the peak OPK or just a weird cycle I can't let myself get hopeful at all. I might make a GP appointment as I can always cancel it see if they will give me a checkup. X

Morning ladies! Woke up this morning and my first thought was to feel my boobs to see if they're still sore 😂 only slightly, but unfortunately not feeling any other symptoms as of yet!

@flossy12 wow what are the chances that she moved next door?? Glad she didn't completely spoil your evening and you still managed to DTD! Just remember that he is with you, she's not important to him. I hope you're okay 💕

@whatsthecraic91 thanks! I got home and he was napping on the sofa and wouldn't get up, so I just put the stick in his face. He definitely woke up very quickly after that 😂

@MIW01 thank you! Sorry you've had a stressful time, hope all is okay? Maybe it is best if you don't use temps, especially if it's causing you not to feel that great in the mornings. Sorry to hear that.
Do you use OPKs? As at least they could pinpoint a rough time when you will be ovulating. Hopefully the sharp pains are a positive sign x

@Larrydavid were you the one that was at Glastonbury whilst doing SMEP? If so, I have no worries you'll still manage to DTD - I was very impressed 😂 Hopefully your friends will just think you just can't help take your hands off each other, rather than TTC 

@Larrydavid that's such a strong line for this early, congrats again!!

@Macbless thank you! Glad things are up and running in your house. I hope AF goes away quickly, she does get in the way quite a bit!

@Lottiepink aw thank you again :)
I used the normal BBT and OPK, but also used Pre-Seed for the first time and we tried SMEP.
I was also worried that pregnacare was delaying my ovulation, so I took Superdrug folic acid + vit d tablets and then switched to pregnacare after ovulation so the vit B could help with progesterone (a part of me was worried that was why I mc previously). I had sore boobs about 2/3 days after ovulation, which I've never had before so I'm hoping that's because of the higher levels of progesterone!
Hoping tomorrow is a positive one for you 💕🤞🏽

@MrsH497 My friend said she had similar cycle and thought it was af, however it only lasted three days. She then tested a few days later, got a BFP so assumed that it was actually IB.
Not trying to get your hopes up, but just really wishing for you that this is something good and you get your positive tomorrow. Thinking of you lovely 💕

@cupcakesandglitter that must have been so exciting to see the heartbeat! So happy for you :)
I'm with you re nerves! Last time I contacted my GP and completed the self referral as soon as I got my BFP. This time I'm so worried about losing it that I want to wait before I do anything.. I can't seem to enjoy what should be such a special time, its so frustrating!
I hope you have a healthy pregnancy 💕

Hope you all have a lovely day xx

Eeek, sorry @Larrydavid!! That should be congrats to @Jessikka 🙈🙈

Thank you @Lokicat

How is everyone this morning? I'm about to walk my dog and have some cheese on toast with a cuppa before starting work.

Have a lovely day ladies x

@Jessikka congratulations!

Would you lovelies mind taking a look at my chart please? I’m so confused with what’s going on. I got a peak on clearblie but then I haven’t noticed a temp jump in my bbt. I tried to relax a bit more this cycle my temps were not recorded at exactly the sane time every day but within 1 hour I’d each other. Also on Monday 5th I was ill with a sore throat and cold

@flossy12 OMG that is like something from a sitcom!

Keeping fingers crossed for you @starkid

And very hopeful for you @MrsH497

Enjoy the tent sex @Larrydavid it's quite a liberating experience!

@Jessikka lovely lines! Fingers crossed it's a sticky 1

So my temp rose this morning from below the cover line (which is now dashed due to the fluctuations) at 36.3 to above the cover line 36.5 but also, the range isn't a lot? Highest is 36.7 and lowest 36.2. So I'm wondering, could this be an implantation dip? Or do I just give up trying to interpret as my results are so varied?! Also, isn't 6DPO too soon for implantation?

@MIW01 @LokiCat @cupcakesandglitter just can't let myself even think it's anything other than my body being cruel.
Put a liner on this morning instead of tampon as it was so light been in since 5 and hardly anything there. Light watery blood when I went to the loo. Who knows!!

@MIW01 I'm no good at charts so can't help I'm afraid

Morning laides!

@LokiCat remember symptoms come and go and everyone experiences pregnancy differently so please try not to worry! DP is at home today to wait for the roofer and luckily its a glorious day! Yes fingers crossed we can start trying again soon, AF due on Friday! Still feeling sick but think its just due to being tired, had some late nights and bad sleeps over the weekend!

@starkid welcome back 😊how are you doing? thats great news about DHs SA!!

@flossy12 she has moved next to you.....is she mad?? I'm not surprised this killed the mood although glad to hear you recovered things later on!!

@Larrydavid I love the fact you guys are always DTD in fields like a covert operation 😂

@Macbless glad to hear that the internet is up and running, I know when we moved in we had to wait almost 2 months before we got connected!

@Jessikka congratulations again, what lovely strong lines!!

@MrsH497 have you tested again?

@Lottiepink LP is usually 15 days so AF is predicted on Friday! I don't temp so have no idea on that front unfortunately!

How is everyone on this lovely Tuesday? It makes such a difference to have a dry day, and it coincides with the roofer coming to hopefully sort our leak 🤞🏻Gym at lunch and a quiet night for us, anyone got anything nice planned?

Morning ladies :D

@LokiCat glad the boobs are still sore haha!

@Lottiepink 🤞🤞🤞 how long have you been trying?

@flossy12 that would make me angry as well haha! Esp as she is pregnant 😭 well done for managing to DTD after

Had another peak OPK this morning - so ovulation probably today. Fingers crossed it is a cba to DTD another 2 nights 😂

@Lozzlepop did an IC bfn so I'm not hopeful

@MrsH497 sorry to hear that, how many DPO are you?

@XjustagirlX looking at that I would assume you ov'd on cd15 when you got your dip? The rise can happen over a few days and doesn't just have to be the next day. Mine does that also most cycles.

I got another dip in my bbt at 12dpo so defo think I'm gonna be out!

14dpo day 3 of weird AF

Thanks for the message everyone :) I'm not great to be honest, haven't been great all year, and worried my appointment and further testing will mean IVF being the only course of action going forward, which is a whole new kettle of fish compared to ttc at the moment... am once again wondering if I ought to be temping using one of those bracelet things that do it for you, so doesn't matter if you get up for the loo at like 4-5am (me literally every day).

@Jessikka - great lines! What cycle number were you on again sorry? :)

Missed loads of messages 🤦🏻‍♀️

@flossy12 yes absolutely! It's just not an ideal situation... hope you aren't in a semi detached and your bedrooms aren't on the same shared wall 😂😂😂

@LokiCat May try different vitamins next time, I've been on the ptegancare ones for a few cycles now so worth a shot! My temp dropped lower again today so think I'm out!

@Lozzlepop gym at lunch your keen! I need my food 🤣🤣 I usually go to the gym early morning, just got back at 8.30 so shower and work for me rest for a hectic day!

@Anny27 too long 🙈😢 14 cycles including when I came off my pill, so it look me a while to get into a normal cycle pattern after that. We planned to go to the docs for tests, but are going to book in as soon as we get back from our holiday we decided ☹️

@MrsH497 sorry to hear that ☹️ seems so strange tho with the spotting etc!

@Lottiepink I'm hoping that it's early and that if I wait until end of the week if I am pregnant it'll show if not we put it down to the weirdest cycle I've ever had. Only day 3 of "bleeding/spotting" so who knows!

Hi @starkid

Cycle 8! I've just left the doctors and hes put me a week ahead.
I had a confusing period.. it started on Sunday and then dissapeared and returned on thursday. I assumed I had to discount the sunday and go from the date on thursday when it came back.

Doc says to go from the sunday though. So that puts me at 4+5 (which would explain why my lines were so dark for 3weeks)

Who knows!

@MrsH497 yeh 14 dpo for an ic is still very early! So frustrating though! Least in a few days you will know either way, totally does not help at all tho... sorry ☹️

@Lottiepink is it? I'm so rubbish at this the only time I've used an IC was when I was late last time and clearly pg. worth waiting a couple of days and using the trusty frer?

@MrsH497 had them because they were worried about ectopic but thankfully all looks okay atm 😊 I'd definitely do that, they can put your mind at ease - but I'd wait a couple of days for a FRER (or maybe tomorrow morning) xx

Thanks @LokiCat and congrats on your BFP 😊 xxx

Bleeding is more period like so I think I'm onto cycle 10 and feeling so low
