I've tried to keep up with changes in testing dates but feel free to shout at me if they are wrong 🙈 July we will hit 25% so who will be the lucky 10 ☺️

@Sausage1990 sorry to hear AF showed up. That is a positive about your cycle getting shorter at least 💛

Hi Ladies! Hope you don't mind me joining your bus, I'm on my 10th cycle TTC so thought bus 10 sounded about right for me! Really feeling the need to have some people to share the wait with! AF not due till 22 July.

@KateColx thanks for that pic that's really reassuring for when we do cave and test early and get bfn to still be hopeful that it's just too early I've screen shotted it and going to follow your lead and try not to waste FRERs x

@SarahTTC2020 I type messages as I'm reading through on the app then close it and it's still there for the next person I want to reply directly to. Only bad thing is if you accidentally click off the thread completely it loses it I've done that a few times oops! X

@Sausage1990 sorry about af :( but glad you've drawn a positive from it and onwards and upwards onto a fresh new cycle. Then I read your next comment....please try not to feel sad your body will do it it's just taking it's sweet time about it. I know it's hard and disappointing but you will get a BFP and sticky bean soon try and stay positive. Big hugs x

@Juno231 I feel the same. I know a few friends it's taken like 2 or 3 months but I know they didn't track anything just decided to see what would happen. Other friends have caught 1st time. It's just hard. So many people around me are pregnant right now, it's just really hard. It's all I want. I don't know how oecooe when they have been trying for years. Must be awful.

I hate knowing my DH is disappointed & sad too. I said I was sorry to him and he said what are you sorry for? It's just nature and its not our turn, but it will be one day. I'm lucky to have such a supportive & understanding OH. I just get to this point and ask myself like... What if this isn't going to happen for us? At what point do you start to worry? Xx

Thank you @Cocoblue22 for you kind words. I know you're right. It just feels hard sometimes. I think I probably need a good cry and get it out of my system xx

Ooh @Cocoblue22 I think you may be right about lucie oops must've missed taking her off my list 🙈 and yeah I read on NHS website that travel between 4-6months is the best time to travel, over the first trimester worries and hopefully not yet at the point you could drop 👌🏾 in my head I'm getting pregnant in August which would be perfect for travel as I'd be like 18 weeks x

@Juno231 I also look at my charts about 10 times a day as if the apps will suddenly tell me something is going on, your temps are looking beaut at the moment btw 😍

Hi @Butterbean11 welcome to the madhouse we'll keep you occupied during your TWW x

@notyetamumbuttrying yep Barbados and doesn't look like it's a big problem but if by some miracle I am pregnant I guess it'll be dependent on how it's all progressing, still 4 months off so won't be putting life on hold all year, if I get a baby and can't go I won't be complaining 🥰

@KateColx I do try and be kind to everyone you never know what people are going through and doesn't hurt does it. My computer screen has actually gone to sleep it's been so long since I did any work must get back on that 😂

@SarahTTC2020 replying individually is a Full-time job 😂 not the one I'm paid to do but I try and do it rather than googling my non-existent symptoms or trying to work out whether I am in fact infertile (because who needs tests when you can convince yourself of anything with google 🤪) and agree with @Cocoblue22 much easier on the app x

@Sausage1990 sorry that AF has arrived but let's look at the positives, shorter more regular cycles so next test date is sooner. Definitely treat yourself to a nice dinner, glass of wine or whatever will make this day slightly better for you. I always have a cry at some point just before or during AF I think it's natural to be disappointed and you definitely have nothing to be sorry to OH about. Big hugs xx

@Minster2012 any more signs of AF for you today?

Welcome @Lara87 cycle 10, you're making me feel bad for bitching daily to my OH as only on cycle 4... have you tried anything extra to help (some of us are mad for old wives tales) or just banging regularly and being patient x

@SmileyT thank you. You're right that a cry and a af treat is needed. Might run myself a nice hot bath with bubbles & some chocolate...

I'm slightly mindful that my LP was 10 days and it's usually about 12 days.... What do you all suggest for helping with your LP? I've seen lots of different things but not sure what does what. Any suggestions?

@mumof23188 I have similar pain right now. Like a dull annoying ache in my vagina, really heavy/tugging feeling. So AF will come tomorrow, don't think I'll bother testing as it'll just be a waste of a test 😂 how about you?

You need the app @SarahTTC2020 and then you can reply as you go 😉

Ahh @Sausage1990 sorry to hear mate! I'll be you tomorrow, you know when you can just feel her coming 😣

Month 10 for me too @Lara87 welcome to the crazy bus! Is this your for your first? It is for me.

Be lush going on holiday knowing you're pregnant @SmileyT hope it happens soon for ya! We're still toying with New Years or next March for my 35th. I think getting pregnant will help us make that decision. Still got plenty of time to decide as we got our refund from ba.

@Juno231 Totally with you on checking my app, OH is like what you looking at now? Im like just the same graph as this morning, just incase...
Heres mine (but last two temps taken with disrupted sleep).
My lonely planet book on Mongolia arriving same day as AF due 😆

@Juno231 also forgot to ask, you have RHR logged as well.... I want this! Is FF free? might download and input all of this cycles info just to have another chart to stare at

@Sausage1990 so sorry! Good old cry is allowed! If AF arrives next week I will be mega sad as its my last month TTC till next May. But trying my best not to think like that, and that I will have an epic hen do and 30th if Im not preggers 😞

@blodyn91 Positive thinking should always win - no baby before the hen do & 30th isn't ideal but like you said,you will have an epic few parties if you're bit lucky this cycle.
My hen party last summer was amazing fun - lots of cocktails were enjoyed and we danced the night away.
Your user name is Welsh... Are you in Wales? Only asking because I am and had my hen in Cardiff - it was such an amazing night!

@notyetamumbuttrying yeah I'm gutted & I really hope you don't have to join me 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻 I do know what you mean about feeling af is imminent... I didn't get that this time which I think is why it hit me a bit harder than I thought. Maybe July is my month 😊🤞🏻

Thanks for the welcome :)
@SmileyT Yes 10 cycles has been hard and long. Hope it happens more quickly for you!! Not really tried anything more than supplements and regular banging haha. Maybe it's time to try something different...
@notyetamumbuttrying First time for me too, let's hope this is our month!

@Sausage1990 sorry about af :( but yay for shorter cycle! Totally get how fed up you're feeling, feels like this is what women were created for and it's just not working! But we'll get through it together, our time will come x

@Lara87 welcome :) I'm around the same amount of time as you, it's so frustrating isn't it. This thread definitely helps though!

@blodyn91 yours is looking positive too! I'm not sure if the RHR function is free or not - I happen to be trying VIP this month so can't tell if I would have been able to do it without it... here's the relevant link to how to do it though: www.fertilityfriend.com/TechFaqs/Chart-Duo.html
Also wait - remind me why you have to hold off until May after this month?

@Sausage1990 My OH is the same, I was more disappointed at disappointing him than myself but he was very much 'our time will come' although I know he's secretly disappointed too I guess he just doesn't think about it every single day multiple times a day like I do 🙈

@blodyn91 same as me, last cycle til May next year, ive already cried about it and AF not even due yet 😩

@Sausage1990 it's ok, I'm very resigned to the fact now. Yeah hopefully July is the one! @Lara87 and @Newbie0818 🤞🏾10 month team 😂
So true @Ltay2! Just a bit shit all round isn't it 😒 ah well, we keep plodding on!

Hey! I'm just checking in between toddler tantrums

@SmileyT No more signs of AF for me today weirdly, though my left inner hip is dull ache, CD29, i spotted on CD29 last cycle then flow day 30 so expecting around now especially after full on feeling sick yesterday afternoon & night & reading about PMS /nausea & like @Katao said dropping progesterone makes feel sick later on.

The ironic thing though, my progesterone tested at 1 instead of 30 at day 19 so surely it can't drop very far 😂 & obviously PMS sickness is the biggest irony of all non pregnancy

@KateColx and for you too! Af for me is predicted on the 6th! For the last 2 cycles I've started spotting 2 days before, so up to now I want to test on Saturday but if I start spotting on Saturday then I'll know af is coming so won't bother! When's yours due?x

@Lara87 welcome!!x

Hi all is it ok if i join, ive been a lurker since bus 1 but was always going to just read never post however i am so confused i need some advice.... quick bio

35 have dd 16 and ds 12, had MMC and CP in between them
Got my coil taken out 16/07/19 concieved 10/19 had a MC 12/19 had D&C and then didnt have af, was hospitalised in 02/20 for what they said was ruptured cyst probably however i believe it was my af trying to come but for some reason wouldn't. Again i was hospitalised 03/20 for exactly the same pain and was given provera to induce my af... it worked and have been back to regular 28 day cycles since (as i was before) well until now....

My af was due tomorrow but i had a bleed on sunday lasting a day and a half, very strange never ever been early before but thought ok just go with it. I am still getting shooting pains in my nipples, itchy nipples, nausea, dizziness and hightened smell.

I bought opks to try this month to help me as i was so confused about early period and bulk bought so thought i would start today so i can see it gradually get darker as ovulation comes, never used them before. Only i have used one today with very concentrated urine as it was just a quick test and it has come out as high on my femometer app wtf is going on?!

Sorry for the long post (well done if you have managed to read it all) have no idea when af is due now or when i will be due to test i think about 26/07 or 31/07 if go by when af was actually due

Hi @beck84 could that bleed have been IB? Perhaps take a pregnancy test to double check you haven't already conceived.

@beck84 OPK detect HCG as well and sunday could have been implantation bleeding? Have you done a pregnancy test yet? You seem to have all the symptoms for it!

@Katao sorry just catching up on the thread while on break at work, in regards to your test I would be very careful as my test looked like this but here I am still on CD54🙈 but fingers crossed for you and test again in a few days! Pic attached of mine

@Juno231 getting married June 12 2020 (postponned wedding). Sister has ended up with 2 C sections, so I dont want to give birth closer than 8 weeks before the date 😬 then I also don't want to be heavily pregnant (although that might change, Ill just have to sell and buy a new dress- maybe 3/4 months pregnant would be fine. But sort of dont want to be either. Will probs start TCC early because who know how long it will take.)
@Braxos whats your situation if its Ok to ask?
