And of course, our graduates:
@Peach1204 @Poppyismyfavourite @Summertime1992 I'm sure everyone here would love to hear how you're getting on!

@Daffodil21 always a line there but can be very Very faint Xx

Yesterday I had a peak day in 30 degree heat, there must be a word for that.

I think DH will be investigating buying an electric fan for next month, it is too warm!

Thanks @Dreaming101 that's good to know. Hopefully I will still ovulate this month then but losing a lot of hope!

@ALew15 my hubby and I have booked a holiday for the end of April. I was chatting with my sister in law and she said not to put our lives on hold for ifs and ands pots and pans😞. Could you book it via a deposit only? X

@Tofu35 we said the same. Need to invest in a fan!

@Dreaming101 we would have to book the flights now. They're looking at a large apartment so depends on if we come which one they go for. I'm also a nervous flyer and like to have a couple of drinks & diazepam before I get on the plane 🤣 we'll see what happens in the next month.

It has been fire the last tonight too hot for DTD ! Hope everyone is ok xx

Gosh I am so happy it's getting cooler over the next few days! Hubby and I have dtd almost every day so far this cycle. But it's CD15 and with no ovulation in sight, it's getting a bit annoying and I feel like we will just have to keep at it every other day until we get sick of each other 😂

@acaciabluebell you go girl there is no way I could do it much! We try every 3 and I get fed up with that. X

@hampshirerose34 we are more like every 3 too as it happens naturally then rather than me being like right hubby come on 🙈😂 x

What stage is everyone at in their cycle?
I think I'm about 3DPO. AF due approx 6th July

@ALew15 I think I’m the same as you, 3DPO as I had my peak later than when I thought it was. My cycles are all over the place lately so god knows 🙈

@Dreaming101 AF shows up whenever she bloody wants for me too! Playing mind games with me lol

I am 10DPO and still negative test but have symptoms 😔 x

Still not ovulating on CD25. I've given up hope for this month tbh!

I'm on cycle day 15 but haven't noticed any ewcm yet, which is odd as I always have it for 5-7 days 🤔 I'm so confused, also means if I ovulate late then my period will be later, hate all this waiting around! One month my cycle will be 28 days then the next 40 then 35, literally have no idea what is going on 🙄

@Daffodil21 you might just be ovulating late this month ? I never ovulate at the same time in the month I just catch it when I can I test every day just incase.

@Bam27 maybe it's the weather or are you worried about anything ? That can muck with your cycle x

@hampshirerose34 yeah it usually varies between 32-36 days but at the moment I'm looking at a 42 day cycle at least, and that's if I ovulate tomorrow. I've had 42/43 days before but not for a year. But then I've been pregnant twice in that time, and no AF for 75 days after the second one, so when I say a year I guess it's not really a typical year

Been typing this while waiting for the OPK, and it's another f** O. I'm still testing every day and we're still dtd every other day, but I think I'm probably out this month. I don't think I was ever really in tbh

@hampshirerose34 not really worried about anything. My cycles used to be really regular. Then I had treatment for endometriosis, 2 operations and 2 lots of hormone therapy later and my pain is much better but my cycles have just never returned to normal. It's so frustrating.
Hope you get your second pink line soon.

@Daffodil21 sorry to hear that, it must be so frustrating for you. Is there any chance that the OPKs could have missed it? I don't know much about them, but are they that reliable? I really hope you get some good news soon.

@Bam27 I've been clear blue ones so 99% accurate apparently. I've been testing every day and then every other day (on days we don't dtd) on test twice so I'd be very surprised if I missed it

@Daffodil21 that must be super annoying for you, sorry. Let's just hope you still ovulate even if it is super late.

@Daffodil21 goodness me those are long ! Fingers crossed for you sweet that you get something x

@Bam27 that's a lot! It's good the pain has been sorted for you x women's body are a Pain in the bum so much goes on with them. Since finding out I have PCOS I have read so much about what goes on in women's body it blew my mind. We will get there at some point I am sure of it! I have a feeling AF is going to come I am not going to test for a while and see what happens x

@hampshirerose34 I've done a lot of research into it too since my diagnosis, women's bodies are definitely very complex! I'm sorry you think AF is coming, it's such a disappointment when she turns up.

So after 7 months of trying, I've finally given in and ordered OPKs for the first time, arriving tomorrow! I said I didn't want the added stress but turns out I do 😂 Pretty sure I haven't ovulated yet as I haven't had any Ewcm, when do you start using them? I ordered the clear blue ones that show 4 fertile days.

@Bam27 it depends on your cycle length - there's a diagram in the leaflet. I also ordered another box as looks like a box of 20 and a box of 10 wasn't enough! Glad they were cheap though 😂
