Apologies if I missed anyone!! ❤️❤️

@Katie1109 hey lovely! Ohh is it a metallic taste???

I'm either 10 or 13 DPO today - I have no idea!! I would say more 11DPO and I'm in CD26. I've neverrrrr gone last 11DPO so I'm predicting AF within the next couple of days. I usually start spotting PM of 11DPO. There's no chance for me this cycle, we literally haven't DTD at all this cycle.

Keeping my fingers crossed for everyone else! X

@Beau20 glad to see your LP is getting better x did you DTD in FW at all? Remember it only takes one x
I don’t know what that taste is, it’s hard to describe, I suppose it could be slightly metallic, but there is a lot of things that can cause it, vitamins for one x I barely have any cm, little amount I have is thick and sticky, normally I’m quite wet at this stage x I haven’t got any pregnancy tests at all, I’ll try to resist buying any 😂🤞

@Katie1109 we did it 4 days before predicted ovulation so not much chance 😂 my typical 3pm 11DPO brown CM happened before (nothing since). Had to run to the loo thought I'd wet myself before CM was THAT much 😂😂😂😂

Well they do say a funny taste can be a pregnancy symptom but that's usually doesn't start until after AF was due. I have a spare clear blue test, wish I could post it out to you hahaha

Well AF was supposed to show up today and hasn't but definitely had period pains and some pink spots this morning but nothing else. Thinking maybe it is taunting me and deciding to show up late after this long wait already. Resisting testing as I hate being disappointed with a negative when I feel af is definitely on the way. Now worried my medication has set my cycles all out of sync again when I just got them back on track! Think I'll wait and see if af shows up tomorrow and if not I may take a test and see x

@Danni2019 good luck I hope its a bfp for you lovely x

@Beau20 4 days still gives you a chance you'd be surprised! Also I thought you'd like to know this, another lady I know has like 9 day lps and she was really worrying about not conceiving, and she finally has on her 9th month! It was her third month on agnus castus too xx

Ladies quick question, I'm pretty sure I ovulated like Saturday late night or Sunday morning, my cervix is still high and soft but I'm not wet anymore it's more like sticky and thick (sorry) I'd say we are done right I don't have to dtd again tonight?, 😂 x

Thanks @Missgoldilocks. I'm not holding out much hope though. I would say your done thick discharge usually comes after ovulation and your cervix could stay high for a bit after ovulation as takes time to come back down again. I keep feeling for mine too as it's a little softer than usual when it would be time
for af but it's not that high.

@Danni2019 thanks! Yeah I hate feeling my cervix closer to af time because it can be a bit confusing, it won't be High but a little softer so it's weird

Morning ladies x well I’m 9DPO today and no changes really x boobs and nipples sore, couple of twinges around my ovaries but nothing else x to be honest I’m not really hopeful, but who would be after 10 months! x

Morning all! I'm still on the flashy smiley - checked yesterday evening and this morning. Doesn't look like a have ewcm anymore, but looking back at last month, I had it about a week before estimated OV-day, and then again the day before, fingers crossed things are moving in the right direction!

When I came downstairs after my evening poas, oh says, "So are you hot yet, or just warm?!" 😂

Unfortunately I had to go shopping so bought a test and caved in. It’s only cheap one. I’m 9DPO. Am I seeing things? Original photo, inverted, and taken out because there was too much glare 😂 entertain me please 😂

@katie1109 there could be a slight line there but then could just be the way the light it is on it as I sometimes think I see a line when I hold it a certain way so don't want to get your hopes up. Another test in a couple of days maybe? If you still have another one in the box? Fingers crossed for you it would be amazing to see some more BFPs on this thread I'm in need of some hope.

My Af has shown up this morning so it was just taunting me for a day but at least it is here now and I can move on again. This part always goes quickly and your into your FE before you know it so onwards and upwards. It looks like schools will be closed until Summer after reading some news reports this morning so my mission to pregnant before going back to work could be more achievable. Always have to find a positive otherwise would go mad! Going to try and not get myself worked up this cycle during ovulation time and my partner should be off work this time so tiredness is not an excuse!

Fingers crossed for some more BFPs from others xx

@Katie1109 arrgghh this is why I hate blue dye tests! Because I really, REALLY want to say I can see a faint line.. but I know from experience blue dye tests are so much more likely to give you an evap line. I REALLY hope I'm wrong... because I so want to see you get your BFP! Xx
Remember it's still early, not out until AF shows up 🤞🏻 X
I'm 5dpo today. No symptoms. Had a random blob of white cvm when I went to the loo earlier lol but nothing exciting to report. Reckon I'm out 😂😂

Man I am struggling today! It's just really dragging, I have zero patience with home schooling and I am shattered 😴

@katie1109 hold out a few days before you poas again lovey!

Thanks girls x @Mumofboys17 yeah I know I don’t like the blue dye ones either, but that was all I could get x
I’m 10DPO today no change really. Boobs and nips very sore and heavy now, some tugging and pulling down there yesterday afternoon. Other than that nothing else to report x how is everyone else doing? Anyone testing soon? I think I might test tomorrow morning x

Morning all, day 4 of flashy smiley for me today... Definitely getting impatient now!

@katie1109 I would try and hold out until the weekend to test again, then you'd know your result was reliable x

The kids have now been timetabled for their school work, and it's much tougher. We did equivalent fractions yesterday, and I learned that I was definitely not made to teach 😳 I had a wobble about it yesterday evening, but now I'm back on the "the kids are happy, healthy and safe and I can only do my best" train.

@LV1987 Bless you. I'm not gonna lie I'm SO grateful DS is only 2. It's still hard as he constantly asks for us to go to the park and see family, and obviously we can't. We've really struggled with his bedtime the last few weeks too. I guess because he's just not getting worn out in the day anymore!
I start working from home part time after this week (we have a rota for who is in the office which day so it's fair as the phones still need covering) and I'm sort of dreading it 😬 x

@Katie1109 I agree the longer you wait, the better 🤞🏻I'm 6DPO today and still zero symptoms. Cvm seems to have dried up, haven't bothered feeling for my cervix 🙁 just don't feel optimistic about it at all anymore. I still have that tiny bit of hope.. but I can't see how this cycle is any different to previous yet. Ovia says wait 6 days to test, I'm going to try and hold out again as long as I can 😬 xx

And I'm CD15... Last month OV-day was somewhere between CD21 and 23. Pleeeeease let it not be that far off I don't have the energy for another week of BD'ing 😂

@Mumofboys17 I know, I'll try to hold off as much as I can, but my patience is running low! I don't know what to think about my RHR, it has gone up today after being flat lined for 3 days which has never happened to me before! Anyone who tracks RHR, what's your thoughts? x

Oh, sorry, the blue mark is my ovulation x I'm using an apple watch x

Hi @katie1109 keep an eye on RHR over the next few days... If it keeps heading upwards like that, that's good news. Mine isn't playing ball at the moment, but I usually see a decline about 2 days before AF to give you some indication🤞

Thanks @LV1987 x My RHR normally dives down day before af. It;'s just that weird flat line for 3 days 7-9 DPO which I have never seen before x I'll keep an eye on it for the next couple of days x

I think I would like a flat line at the mo @katie1109... Check how up and down mine has been this month, no pattern whatsoever 🙈🙄

@LV1987 this is exactly how mine usually looks like!
What is your opinion on CM girls? I usually have plenty of creamy CM in my TWW but this time I'm dry as a bone, next to nothing. I read that CM increases in early pregnancy, but apparently that does not usually happen until about 6-8 weeks. So, am I meant to take it as a positive sign? I've read some threads where ladies said it was lack of CM in TWW that was a sign of pregnancy for them, and I honestly haven't had a TWW without CM like this month!

@Katie1109 I can see a line, but it's hard with the blue dye as grey/blue are so similar and I'm not sure if I'm adding it in.

Here's my RHR from Jan, which you might find interesting. The dip is the 15th when I got my peak and I think I ovulated 15-17th. It goes up until the 31st, then dips and rises again on Feb 3rd. I got my first BFP on Jan 30th. The months before it was far more like @LV1987's.

Hope you're all well, and everything crossed for BFPS

@Quiffy hey there, how are you girl? How far along are you? Any scans photos? ! Thank you very much for the chart, in this case it looks like there isn't much hope for me, it hasn't risen enough and was dropping for few days after O :( does that mean I haven't ovulated? Opk's confirmed surge and I had quite strong O pains!
