Anyone missing just let me know your next testing date xx

But we still kinda hope you are pg @lucyrp 🤞🏻🤞🏻

So between you (@Minster2012) and @lucyrp, we’ve got a lot going on huh!! Let’s hope everything settles and we get some BFPs right??

@Busybee143 I was training for an IronMan, and the past 2 cycles I still trained relatively hard, so this cycle me and OH are trying to exercise a lot less (race cancelled) I was worried that too much biking was harming his swimmers and that excessive exercising was causing an increase in cortisol reducing progesterone in my luteal phase. So trying to take this month easy, but telling me to stop exercising is like telling somebody who smokes 20fags a day to stop 🙈

@Hopeful110 so Im using Femometrs OPKs, Ill attach a photo, as ive just got my peak tonight! After a week of basically 0! So I think I have a quick peak. The app predicted ovulation today and clue app (both free) predicted tomorrow thats why I decided to test 3x today.

Sorry to bring up the horrible drink that is grapefruit juice again here 😆 but can anyone confirm if grapefruit juice from concentrate is no good? I heard it's got no benefits when TTC and just checked and that's what I've been drinking 😧

I'm only at CD6 so still weeks to go before nearing testing but at least the worst part of the month is over! Hope you're all doing well.

@Minster2012 i mean i hope so too but it's very unlikely 😫🙈

@TTCmummy2021 pretty much yeah !😫😂

@blodyn91 that's brilliant on your peak and OH home soon right 🤔🥰

@2020mission I would say it needs to be from fruit. I've been drinking the Tropicana golden grapefruit and for me it worked a treat (I was a bit dry before but got ewcm this month) & I didn't think it tasted horrendous. Our big Tesco & Morrison's sold it

@TTCmummy2021 tell me about it!! At least I think my body has done SOMETHING this cycle! I got day 21 bloods done but on day 19 (as I was having bloods done for other things & they didn't want me back the same week Cos of shielding) so it might show something or it might be too early but was worth a shot anyway for the sake of a vile of blood 🤷‍♀️

@Newbie0818 yeah I took one on Sunday and there was a faint line but couldn't get it on camera, but the one I took Monday morning was darker and the one I posted here

I'll keep you all updated. Unless I start properly bleeding tomorrow I'll test on Friday as planned.

Thanks everyone 💜

@2020mission oh shit, I have the same as you 🙈 maybe thats why my EWCM is non existent

@Minster2012 currently in the shower 😏 ive been too excited to sleep 😂

@blodyn91 have we been drinking this bitter juice for nothing 😂 I tried looking for the Tropicana today but it was all sold out. I now believe there's a surge of women in my area TTC as why else would the grapefruit juice be sold out?? I'll keep looking for the real deal and hope my seeds are going to help this cycle

Sorry if tmi ladies 🤦‍♀️

Just passed like a sac and now bleeding has calmed

Thinking defo cp 🤔

Onwards and upwards to new cycle

@lucyrp fingers crossed for some answers for u, I'm so glad I'm not in limbo any more. We were roughly the same cycle days etc as well its mad xx

@Catherinettc did you have a scan when you went to the hospital? With a CP I would've expected any sac to be tiny and not one you would've been able to notice, do you think it would be worth speaking to your Drs to check that everything is okay?

@lucyrp are you booked in for the bloods with the midwife at the end of the month or do you have to call them up again if period doesn't show? It is basically July now so they should see you x

@Minster2012 yes to shower sex and I have a question for the sex queen - is it normal to get dried out in water? If I went to have sex in the shower or in a pool I'm dryer than the Sahara, why is this? How do I stop it? 🤔

CD12 day 5 of flashing smily faces today expecting my peak tomorrow 👌🏾

@SmileyT no they said they won't do the bloods now until my next cycle for the 21 day bloods so the bloods at the end of the month aren't a thing now!

@Catherinettc i know we were! its so annoying. literally the same thing has basically happened 2 cycles in a row now for me 😔

@Catherinettc I agree with @SmileyT for a chemical I wouldn't expect to see a sac, I was about 6.5weeks with my MMC & didn't see any sac I would maybe phone up too, could you have been further?

@SmileyT yes water actually dries you up for sex, fact! So perfectly normal. So there has to be a lot of extra lubrication & in the shower we get down & dirty with the face action which suffices for me!

@Blodyn I hope you got some action & I'm sure it's not the end of the world for the grapefruit juice!

@lucyrp I didn't realise the end of the month bloods are off now 😫that's awful I'm sorry to hear that lovely

@Minster2012 yeah they're like totally cancelled now so i'm literally not waiting for anytning. the only thing i'm waiting for is cycle day 21 of my next cycle when that could be 3 months away 😭

@Vil10 Ohhh well I have my fingers crossed for you hun how do you feel about it if it is PCOS?
I downloaded the premom app and i says I will ovulate 2nd July and my peak day is 1st july with a few high chance days beforehand. I'm going to order the easy@home opks today! Thanks for the tip! X

@blodyn91 ohhh that's great news that you had your peak! I'm hoping I will definitely get a surge and ovulate at the end of the month. It cant do any harm to have the premom and fem one, they both seem quite reliable from reviews. X

I'm just a little behind you @lucyrp at cd43. But that's normal for me 😂 hopefully something happens for you soon! Did you say you had spotting yesterday or was that someone else? It's curious that your opk's are still high. If you had spotting then it could be implantation, in which case test again next week and you might finally see your bfp?

@Stabal sounds positive!

@Newbie0818 my cycles have always been between 28-30 days so this is very strange for me😫 i've had spotting when i wipe quite often its like a beige colour sith hints of pink in it but that's all i get. nothing in my underwear or anything. fed up is not the word!

@lucyrp I remember you saying. Either the cp has messed up the cycle or the spotting might be a good sign. I'll have my fingers crossed for the latter 🤞🏼

@Hopeful110 Thankyou!! I think I'll be a little bit upset and shocked, even though I've always always had a gut feeling I'll struggle to conceive, it's just not nice to hear is it, and knowing that it might take me long time to get pregnant when I'm only young too! My friend has pcos and she said she didn't ovulate every month but so far I have, or is it different for everyone? Don't take its word straight away, because sometimes it make take a bit to get it right! When I first started using premom it was saying my periods and ovulation was way ahead than what it was but the more info I put in the more accurate it got x

@Vil10 ohhh yeah I know what you mean, but honestly i was told by the consultants I would never conceive naturally and would need fertility treatment... we tried IUI once and I found it really difficult (I was only like 25 at that stage) we decided to take time out and forget about TTC, then a couple of years later it seems I was pregnant..I had no symptoms at all apart from heartburn, when I had my dating scan I was actually 17 weeks and 3 days!! Shocked was an understatement for sure. So the doctors arent always right and miracles do happen, just try and stay positive (sending hugs).
I do think it shows itself differently in each person, some women have cycles just slightly longer than what they call average, some women like me dont have AF visit, and some women have average cycles but other symptoms of pcos. So honestly try not to panic, I know it's easier said than done though x
I've inputted as much detail as I have into it so hopefully it will be close enough to accurate, time will tell, also on Amazon theres a pcos fertility journal, I ordered that to help track OPK results and symptoms etc...its worth looking at, you can also document how your feeling and write down anything you want :) x

@Hopeful110 that's so brilliant! 17 weeks wow!! And so good you can give @vil10 advice but don't forget you don't know yet, it might be mining you worry about!

@Lucyrp I can't believe that 😫I'm fuming for you 🤬🤯😡I really still hope you are pregnant. Do you still get any sickness?

Here's my breakfast. Thus one actually tastes nice!
Spinach, coconut milk, celery sticks, pomegranate juice, a full slice of pineapple (core included!)

Ran out of sesame seeds. On my shopping list today : wine, pineapple & sesame seeds 😂

Oh it also had kiwi fruit & sunflower seeds in it too 🤪just for good measure

@lucyrp oh it's 21 day bloods instead of the other bloods, that's annoying. If you still have no period at the end of the month I'd definitely ring again I'm sure the GPs look into it when it's been over 2 months and you're normally regular, my EPU said that if period hadn't arrived in 6 weeks I could contact them x

@Minster2012 thanks that makes me feel much more normal 😂 could definitely get OH in for some tongue action, not during fertile week though 😛 if I don't get pregnant at least you will have helped improve my sex life 🙌🏾

CD12 for me and 5th day of flashing smily faces 🤡
