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!

@Lozzlepop congrats!! 💕

@Lemonysherbet so sorry to hear that darling 😢😢

Haven't caught up on everything girls sorry!

Being doing my SMEP and OPKs and this is today's line at CD17! Exciting times! Glow has taken it as negative but hopefully tomorrow's will be positive 😆 DTD twice today already! OH is on the case this weekend!

Good on you @flossy12 !! DTD twice already!
I know I said I wouldn't OPK but stark negatives at CD 14 which is a bit unusual

@MrsH497 I know! We had 3 days of no BD and I was really annoyed about it, OH must have picked up on that as we had a 'exciting' morning and then again at lunch 😅😅 no idea what's got into him!!

I’ve still not had AF and I’m now CD39. My longest cycle was 35 days but it’s usually 30 or 32. Had a BFN this morning.

Symptoms - I have tingly nipples, cramps on both sides, and lots of creamy CM.

I don’t know what to think. If I’m not pregnant where is AF. I just want her to appear now so I can get on with the next cycle.

How late can AF be while still getting a BFP?

@flossy12 good going on the SMEP! Twice in one day in this heat is dedication 🤣

@XjustagirlX i dont have any experience with long cycles and latest bfp sorry! But if it goes on for another week i would suggest getting blood tests to confirm if you arent pregnant as i have heard of some women dont tesr positive but can still be pregnant!

@MrsH497 could you have ovulated early?

@Anny27 possibly and would just add to the weird cycles! Would've missed it this cycle as well because of shifts!

Congratulations @Lozzlepop!

@Anny27 when are you testing again?

So sorry to hear your news @Lemonysherbet .

I'm not sure what is going on over here - I woke up to some spotting on Friday, bang on time for AF, which turned into what seemed like a proper bleed that morning but stopped dead by the afternoon and absolutely nothing since. Totally unlike me, and if anything I was expecting a heavy AF this month as my first in July after MC was so short and light. Tested this morning with a CB early detection and got the squintiest squinter you've ever seen in your life. Surely I'd have a half decent line on an early test by what should be 16DPO?!

Morning ladies!

Thank you so much for all the kind words and support it really does mean the world ❤️

@Lemonysherbet I’m so sorry to hear about your MC I know exactly how you will be feeling, it’s such a draining experience, and I know exactly what you mean that it brings you closer- it really does! A great thing though is that you know you can get pregnant which is the first hurdle, be kind to yourself and let your hair down a little then try again when the time is right ❤️

@MrsH497 what CD are you Hun? Sorry to hear you are having a rough time, sending lots of love your way!

@ELW85 ❤️❤️

@LokiCat I know, it’s just the start of the worrying, just want to get to the early scan!

@PrincessConsuela12 I am 5 + 2 today, first milestone is to get past 6 weeks as that’s when I had my last MC

@LikeTheFruit thank you so much lovely 😘

@ValidUser I had everything crossed that this is your month 🤞🏻

@XjustagirlX are you testing with IC or FRERs?

@Anny27 when are you testing next lovely?

Sorry if I have missed anyone, hope everyone has a fab Sunday planned! We are off out with the family to enjoy the sun ☺️☺️ Have a great day ladies and good luck to anyone Reston’s / SMEPing- stay hydrated lol!

@Lozzlepop I'm cd 15 it's all just a bit weird. If I did ovulate early we missed it as I don't OPK until cd 7/8. Could just be a non ovulating cycle which would also be annoying! DTD anyway just in case! X

@Anny27 I know 😆 OH is on the ball this weekend 👏🏼 DSS mum messaged this morning kicking off and stated 'why don't you go and have your own family' hasn't given me the best start to the day 😒

@Lozzlepop congratulations 😊

@Lemonysherbet so sorry to hear that 😢 take care of yourself x

@Anny27 I feel like I could maybe see a little tiny something. But can't be sure! When are you testing again?

Hope you are all having a lovely bank holiday weekend 😊

Thank you for all the love ladies, it means a lot. Isn't it amazing how you can bond with people youve never met. Xx

Hey ladies, hope you're all well! I have barely any internet so will read through thread when I'm back from the festival! SMEP in 30 degree heat, in a tent is testing but also pretty hilarious- good luck to everyone else in this warm weather! Luckily we're glamping and have a proper bed otherwise we may have sacked off this month 😂

@Lozzlepop Congratulations! Such wonderful news - and a great line xx

@Lemonysherbet I'm so sorry - take care of yourself. 💛

Will catch up with other messages when I'm back 💜

Eeesssh Mumsnet somehow deleted all the threads I was on?! Had to go on google, remember the title of this thread and search for it.
Hoping this comment will put in back on threads I'm watching/on.
Hope people have a lovely weekend enjoying the weather. We're off to a vegan dub garden party with a Caribbean music and food& cocktails - but all vegan!
CD5, after 2 months off let the SMEP begin again! 😆

Guys would we class this as positive? Been the same since yesterday but Glo is still saying negative 🤷🏼‍♀️🤷🏼‍♀️

@flossy12 I would never tell what was a definite positive until a few days later when I could see them getting lighter. The last couple of months I've been using fermometer to help me (also saves me writing on the strips and keeping them lined up on the toilet cistern! 😆)

@Kiza 😂😂 I'm the same just going to keep testing and see if they start to get lighter 😅

@flossy12 looks positive to me! Sometimes my app would say a test was not quite positive but then i would retake a photo and it would say positive. So might be same for you?

@larrydavid good on you for continuing with SMEP haha!

@lozzlepop @lottiepink will wait till AF to retest again as the line didnt get any darker so could be a blip/CP - deffo not early testing again. It isnt worth the stress!

@gemster19 ooog fingers crossed for you!

If your AF was an implantation bleed it would take 2 or 3 days for a positive so perhaps retest tomorrow or tuesday!

Oh ladies I'm exhausted already and still got 5 more days of work 😩 up at 4:30am to work carnival

@flossy12 it looks like a peak reading for sure, I'd just be dtd for the whole 10 day fertile window to be on the safe side 🤷🏼‍♀️

@Anny27 yeah I'm taking it as positive ☺️☺️👏🏼 going to DTD for the next few days to cover us anyway 🤞🏻🤞🏻

@Kiza we have been doing SMEP this cycle so every other day and then since Friday we've done it every day so 🤞🏻🤞🏻 my fertile window is around 6 days

@Lozzlepop I did a FRER yesterday morning and it was a BFN.

Hi all..! I'm new to this app/thread and just wanted to say 'hello' and hoping everyone is well :-)

I have just got my period after the second month of TTC for first baby...feeling quite down today and was hoping for some words of wisdom...

I'm 33 and my husband is 49 and we are looking to start a family...I thought it would be easy as my periods are so regular but 2 months in after doing everything 'right' and here I am with my period again :-(

I know it's SUCH a short time of trying and people have been trying for so much longer so please know I mean no upset to anyone, but I just want to talk to someone about it.

I am not telling friends and family we are trying as it's too much pressure so feeling a bit alone really. I have used OPK's, an ovulation tracker app (with temp measuring) and know my cycle well so not sure what else I can do xx

Anyone have a similar story or about to go into their 3rd cycle of trying too? xxx
