Thought the old one was getting a bit full so I'd start a new one. I'll attempt tagging as many as I can

If I've missed anyone sorry!

Morning ladies! Is it the weekend yet?! Actually scrap that working very long shifts all weekend 😩 how is everyone?

So af still hasn’t arrived. My temps are still all over the place. I expected to start spotting yesterday but nothing arrived. I keep doing cheap tests and keep getting bfns. I have no idea what’s happening.

@XjustagirlX weird cycles are the worst!! I really get that. Leave it a couple of days when was af due?

@MrsH497 Fertility friend said af was due yesterday but I usually get spotting for two days before. I keep running to the toilet at work to check. People must think I have something wrong.

Morning all!

Thanks for the new thread @MrsH497 - I hope you’re well?

@Larrydavid - haha! I used to do that ALL the time :) the key thing is that you’re looking for a trend, so you can have a couple of anomalous readings and you’ll still be ok!

@XjustagirlX - sorry to hear your cycle is still being odd. Have you tested? It might be worth reading up on anovulatory cycles, if you can. Could be the alternative?

I can't believe I'm writing this but I got a BFP on a clear blue this morning!! Haven't even told DH as he wasn't around but I couldn't keep it in!

I have been getting them on IC's but heard they are awful for giving false positives so I dismissed it...

AF not due until tomorrow but I have already phoned the EPU due to my ectopic in Dec & they have booked me in for a scan next Tuesday! I'll only be around 4+6 ish so does anyone know if anything can be seen then?

@PrincessConsuela12 congrats. Sorry I’m not sure about the scan.

@ELW85 I’ll have a look into anovulatory cycles. I’ve tested but eep getting negatives.

Also does anyone know how to view other peoples graphs on the FF app. I use the free version but there is a way to see people’s graphs. I accidentally found it the other day and now I cant find it again.

Hello ladies!

@Sunshine8888 it can take a little bit of time for your cycles to regulate after being on the pill. Are you using any tracking methods such as OPKs or temping?

@MrsH497 I am super snoozy today so if we could fast forward to the weekend that would be just grand!

@XjustagirlX what CD are you? Maybe you OV later than you thought? Sorry I only have the free FF app too so can't shed any light on where to find graphs.

@PrincessConsuela12 ahhhh congratulations thats amazing news!!! I don't think they can see anything that early on, my EPU will only see you from week 6 onwards for a scan but they make take blood samples and test your HCG levels?

@lozzlepop I’m currently on CD35. I’m expecting af any day now. I just want her to hurry up so we can get on with the next cycle.

Hi everyone, hope it's ok if I join. I'm TTC my first and this is cycle 1! I'm super super excited, even though I know the chances on the first go are pretty slim (I'm 37). I'm feeling absolutely exhausted and sick today and I can't help but hope that this is it, although it's really far too early for me to be feeling anything. Anyone else felt the same?

@PrincessConsuela12 - congratulations! I don’t think you see anything at 4 weeks, but they must be confident that they can get what they need to book you in :)

@XjustagirlX - here’s a link to the chart gallery I would refer to, as they give good explanations and it’s based on a book: www.ovagraph.com/chart-gallery

@PrincessConsuela12 ah congratulations, that's great news! I think they can start seeing things/heartbeat from 6 weeks. It's great that they've booked you in straight away though, hopefully they can do some tests at least!

@XjustagirlX if you click on Community and then Chart Gallery you can then filter on charts. I used it a lot to compare mine (I have the free version as well).

@Lozzlepop hope you're doing well lovely :) xx

@PrincessConsuela12 congratulations lovely:D :D so exciting

(Haven't read the other messages yet but saw that and had to reply)

Thank you everyone. I am just so excited but really trying to control it until I know more.

I'll be less than 6 weeks so really worried they won't see anything, sure they know what they're doing though 🤞🏽

Huge congrats @PrincessConsuela12!!

@Lozzlepop ahh I know, I’m just being impatient. I’m also annoyed with myself as pretty much missed my fertile week telling myself my cycle would surely be shorter than the first one of 45 days! Who ovulated on CD32 when most people are late for AF and testing - well, me apparently!! I’m going to start tracking next cycle with opks. I really hope cycles settle down soon because I’m not getting a chance each month atm, only every 1.5 months - it’s torture!

I’m not symptom spotting as only 2DPO but I’ve been feeling sick last few days. Does anyone here suffer from ovulation sickness? I feel fluey as well. I’m just wondering if it could be related.

@PrincessConsuela12 huge congratulations!! Post a pic!

Thank you
@Sunshine8888 & @MrsH497

I've just done a digital because the line was v faint & 1-2 so I'm pleased

@PrincessConsuela12 CONGRATS!! 💕💕

So trying to be proactive and check my CM and CP this cycle and I have no idea what I'm feeling, cervix is feeling quite high but one half feels like purses lips and the other like the tip of a nose (sorry for TMI) is anyone any good at this?

@flossy12 it’s a minefield! I’ve been trying morning and night for the last couple of weeks and it always just seems to be high! Like hard to reach! And as for softness / open / closed i just don’t know. I’m going to keep trying though and recording - maybe eventually I’ll spot some sort of pattern throughout cycles 🤷🏽‍♀️ Same for CM!

@flossy12 I couldn’t check last night as I cut up a red chilli 🌶 for dinner! I couldn’t risk it - I figured missing a day is probably better than an internal chilli burn 😂🙈

Thank you @flossy12

Thanks @LokiCat.

@PrincessConsuela12 CONGRATULATIONS!!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Congratulations @PrincessConsuela12, so pleased for you!!

Hi, I hope you don't mind if I join in. I got married in June and we've been semi trying since although didn't really DTD on the right days so I'm only considering this cycle my first proper one. I'm 31, CD 13 and AF due 6 September - currently in my fertile window, hopefully 😊

It’s been a while!

Congratulations to all who have got their BFPs!

We have decided to take a break from TTC, we are moving house next month so we are going to start again in the New year, hopefully by then my cycles will have completely settled and I will have lost that half stone of weight My mental health has suffered greatly too 8 failed cycles really takes its toll.

I will keep reading all your updates and hopefully by the time I am posting again you will all have moved onto the pregnancy threads 🤞🏼

Good luck and baby dust to all ❤️
