Thank you everyone for your advice, when do you think is the best amount of time to leave before taking a pregnancy test?? I was told my period should return within 6 to 8 weeks so maybe wait another four weeks and if no period arrives do a test??

Getting very strong pulling and twinges lower abdo! Really hoping this is my month

@VP91x I had a vodka Fanta lemon, was like holiday in a glass 😌 guess that's why they call it tinto de verano eh @Tink20058
@HE88 I'm afraid that's blasphemy because Malbec is my favourite! Was it french? Has to be from Argentina or Chile...look at me pretending I know about wine 🤪
@MichT4 not Prosecco!! All my friends love it (as most Essex girls do!) but i can't stand it. I'm with you on a corona though.
@Eli2020 I have no idea what cycle in total tbh...We started trying June last year but I was breastfeeding and having anovulatory cycles so I stopped breastfeeding and had my first period in October. Then we caught in January, but had medical management following bad news at 12 week scan in April and took 6 weeks for AF, then this was a 26 day cycle. I guess today is CD of 2nd proper cycle but trying for 1 year now.
I understand your frustration with ovulating, I'm trying to remain positive and think everyone recovers differently - some more quick than others. If we have to wait a couple extra months for our beans to be sticky then it's worth it...just very difficult during those months of waiting!

Fingers crossed for you @2020wish

Did anyone get really clear symptoms at D8PO?
My boobs are absolutely killing me, have been for about 2 days. Also, nausea, heartburn and diarrhoea for the last 2 days. (Probably clutching at straws here!!)

Hi ladies just to update you I have been silently lurking as I was heartbroken that I’ve had no period since my miscarriage in April had bloody discharge no period did a test negative so I purchased some opk kits thinking il sit this one out according to the spotting my fertile would have been mid June...i had decided to go back to work and redecorate to make the month pass quicker we dtd first week of June 3 times in total after feeling sick from cigarette smoke my husband joked I might be pregnant at first I got so annoyed how can I be pregnant when I haven’t ovulated tracker cm and had mainly dry days apart from the three where I had spotting in discharge so I decided to use the cheapies from my July opk and testing kit all negative and then dr google told me it has high miu detection not good for early testing so I used clear blue the next day that picks higher miu than the cheapies and was negative this morning I couldn’t help myself and used my frer and it was positive I can’t understand how so I used my second one at night again positive lighter than my morning urine but was there I know the hormone isn’t from the miscarriage as did 4 tests all negative 2 Lloyd’s and 2 clear blue digital it doesn’t feel real that our rainbow 🌈 might be coming not getting excited till it’s confirmed by a digital

@chloedancer897 nausea and heartburn are 2 I have had which I put down to the takeaway now I have a bfp I’m guessing it must be that
@Niisa@1990EM congratulations on your bfp

Congrats @Saim86 !!!! What a lovely surprise for you both! Xo

@2020wish fx crossed for you - are you still on the aspirin? Are you taking anything else with it? X

@Bexsta101 I think maybe test weekly? Some people get negatives quite quickly. Everyone is different xx

@Saim86 congratulations what a wonderful surprise wishing you a happy healthy pregnancy xx

@2020wish ooh, sounds promising!🤞

@chloedancer897 I think it's possible to get symptoms if you've implanted 🥰 hoping all good things for you!!

Little update from me -
CD16 just got thin blood streaks in EWCM which I had at the exact same point last month! Interesting I think ended up getting my peak three days later, so might be in for a little more of a wait. Xx

Morning ☺️

@Saim86 congratulations. What a lovely surprise for you 💕

@2020wish fingers crossed these are good signs and this is your month 🤞🏼

@VP91x sounds good! Your body is obviously in a nice little routine. Hope you get your peak soon.

I’ve woken up a little deflated. After my 0.3 increase, I was hoping for a bigger one today to get me way above the previous 6....and it’s gone down slightly. Only by 0.06 so still higher than the last few days but still not what I expected. Now I’m really worried I’m not ovulating and wondering if I should call the docs or if I’m being too premature. Shall I wait to see what happens tonight? Has anyone had this?
I feel rubbish. I know if there’s any issue then it’s good to know, but I miss the days of not knowing what’s happening and assuming all is ok, because I’m losing faith now

@MichT4 can you post a pic of you chart? Xx

@VP91x this is where I plugged the numbers into Femometer as the Ava doesn’t show charts this clearly yet. So ignore the ovulation date, which changed randomly, if you recall.
I’m embarrassed showing this as I think it shows nothing at all xx

@MichT4 what does your Ava chart look like? From that one I would say that you haven't ovulated yet xx

@VP91x it’s the same, just on a smaller scale

Would help if I attached it

@VP91x I’m just concerned that if I haven’t, my cycles are so long or my LP is really short. I just don’t know if I should do something or wait it out. Maybe my PG was a massive fluke in the one month I ovulated and now this is just going to be a real struggle 😢 xx

@MichT4 noo please don't think like that! You might just be having a longer cycle. How long are they normally?

Don't be disheartened because it could rise within the next couple of days. When does Ava think you'll ovulate? Xx

@VP91x Ava has me having ovulated on Saturday.
They are normally 33-35 days, and today is CD23 so I don’t have much hope if I’ve not ovulated yet.

Sorry, such negativity first thing on a Monday. This journey is really hard and I just wish I knew what was going on.

I feel like maybe I should wait another night as I was googling charts and stuff this morning and sometimes this happens but I can’t find a reason for it so it makes me think I should call. Just not sure they’ll take me very seriously xx

@MichT4 ava may well be right! Today is a tiny dip and you might start to see more of an upward trend. Ava has more data overall so it will probably be quite accurate I would say?

Alot of things have risen since Saturday so I would say that's positive? Xx

@VP91x yeah maybe. I might call the docs and see what they might suggest and then see what happens in the next day or so. Or I’ll just do that the other way round so I don’t sound like a crazy lady.
Thank you xxx

@MichT4 I would say see what happens over the next two days and then if you're still concerned then give your GP a ring to put your mind at rest. ❤️

I really think it will be okay though, try not to worry (sorry, its so hard to not worry!) xx

@VP91x thank you so much lovely, I really appreciate your help and support. I need a level head and if I tell OH I’m worried about a little temp dip I think he’ll think I’ve lost it! Maybe I have (I hope). I was just so sure I’d wake and see a big rise today xx

@MichT4 also, once you get like a temp rise from what I have seen on other charts you get fluctuations within that 'higher range'

Annoying thing about BBT charting is you don't get a clear picture until the end of the cycle. Useful in retrospect but not day by day xx

@VP91x yeah I do think it’s difficult when I haven’t tracked a full cycle yet, I have no trend. I should be able to wait 24 hours but it’s tough when it feels like every day could be a day sooner that I got some answers. Appreciate it seems dramatic after one dip xx
