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

@Bam27 Whenever I tested in the morning it was always light! Even on the day of my peak, the morning test was lighter than the previous day. Afternoons are much better and its also better if you don't drink much so your pee is concentrated.

@Daffodil21 was just for me for fertility clinic but will have to be both of us now just double the problem but won't give up ! X

@hampshirerose34 there are all sorts of things they can do for you both now, so don't give up hope I hope they don't keep you waiting too long x

@Daffodil21 thank you I will keep everyone posted and still stalk the page as want to see how you all get on x

@Bam27 no positive OPKs for me yet either 🤞🏻😫

@JTB123 it's so frustrating! Only got the OPKs to prove to myself I ovulate so I could stop worrying and now it's making me worse! 😅
@acaciabluebell just done another test and line looks a little darker I think but not sure. Did you have to wait the full 10 mins for the line to appear?
Also did a digital and still no static smiley

@Bam27 @JTB123 no smiley for me all month either... I wonder what's going on..!

@Daffodil21 fingers crossed I get a positive OPK this week 😩🤞🏻 will keep you updated!

@Daffodil21 I was wondering if you had static smiley yet. Did you get the flashing smiley? Or just nothing?

Morning everyone. I have some news to share.... Mr postman arrived nice and early with my FRER tests and I got my BFP!

Obviously very early days and we are sceptical after last years loss but we are over the moon! 🥰

@ALew15 congratulations! 💕

@ALew15 congratulations 🥰❤️ that's amazing xx

@Bam27 @JTB123 thank you! AF is due over the next few days so will watch this space.
Turns out that zero symptoms is a good sign!
Just did my much hated B&M cheapy and got a faint line on that too. I think I am about 12 or 13 DPO.

@ALew15 amazing news!!! Congratulations!!!!

@Bam27 I was using the pink clear blues so you either get nothing or a static. I've got nothing all month and currently on CD34 so hoping AF shows over next few days so we can just get on with the next cycle

@ALew15 congratulations! that's great news I'm really happy for you!

AF due at the end of this week for me. I had high hopes for this month, somehow had a good feeling about it but after trying to use the opks al month and making a bit of a mess of it, I'm not really sure whether I ovulated or not. I also suspect that I may have ovulated about a week later than my app thought in which case I'm not sure we DTD close enough to the date (got a bit tiring after day 23!).

@ALew15 massive congratulations!

@Alew15 that's brill, congrats hon. I was catching up on the last few pages so saw you do the early test and now this one

Was avoiding MN during the TWW as it risked me starting to symptom spot, although had a hilarious one at the weekend where I was debating was it nausea or was it DHs cooking skills that was giving me the boke

However, I woke up today with cramps so think AF is round the corner. Oh well!

Any tips @ALew15!? Apologies I can't remember how long you were TTC as there are a fair few of us on this chat.

I am so so happy when I read a positive story on this thread

Congratulations @ALew15!!!!!!!

@Daffodil21 That's strange, I read somewhere that you can have an lh surge that isn't detected because it's not high enough for the test, but I don't know how likely that is.

I got my static smiley this morning and it's cycle day 24. So I'm guessing AF will be due day 39-40.

@Bam27 yeah I'm just assuming I just didn't ovulate this month 🤷‍♀️ hasn't stopped me setting an 'earliest I can test' target though! My app says AF is due tomorrow but could easily be a few days longer. If nothing by Friday I'll probably test as that will be CD38, but might see if I can leave it until after the weekend as it is possible this is a 43 day cycle and I don't have any cheapies left, and I'm not buying anymore. I sort of feel like AF is on the way as felt a little ragey lately, but that might just be me 😂 (we had a burst pipe last night on our newly plastered and painted ceiling )

Oh noo - I hate long cycles like that! Glad you got your static though!

Does anyone else feel like since TTC their cycles have got longer? I don't know if it's the TWW that makes them feel like that but mine cycles are a few days longer each time... hmmm..

@SC1989 Yes my current cycle (based on when I ovulated) is looking to be around 35 days which is unheard of for me. I'm normally 25-27 days!

@Bam27 glad you got your static smiley! Did you also get a darker line on the cheap tests? Like to see if they worked

@SC1989 since TTC I've just realised how INPATIENT i really am 😂😂
