Update from me CD20, 3DPO (I think) 🥰.. Nothing going on at the moment, will wait impatiently for the next week xx

@Lollol86 So sorry that af arrived 😞 it's so hard to not think of the milestones and what would have been. Wishing you lots of luck for your next cycle ✨ xx

@Lollol86 sorry AF arrived. Funny you should say that, this morning I was thinking I should be 5.5 months if my first PG had stuck. It's hard isn't it.
We will have those milestones though.

@VP91x I think you know that this month I have no idea what I'll be doing 😂. If I get clear ovu then I'll have a better idea but I'm going to hold off testing for as long as possible, ideally a week after AF was due. Not sure that'll happen but that's my plan xx

@Northernsoul90 @MichT4 thank you.
Milestones are very hard. I just hope I fall pregnant before Christmas as my baby was due Xmas eve. It’s going to be a very hard Christmas if I don’t have a little one growing inside me.

Thank you for the new thread @vp91x

Huge congratulations @2020wish really hope this goes smoothly for you and you have a very healthy 9 months ☺️ xxx

@VP91x this mornings OPK 🤦🏽‍♀️ registering between 52 and 65 depending which light it was taken in. It's always higher when there is more natural light, which is weird as the lines look lighter to me. I got a 75 but discounted it as the others were all similar.

Lord knows....

@Lollol86 yeah I know how you feel. Having one in there by the due date will be lovely. Fingers crossed xx

@VP91x I mean the lines look lighter in the captured image, not to my eye. I see the same in all lights 😂

@VP91x thanks for the new thread lovely, excited for next Saturday and for you to test... you moved onto the calc flour and Pom juice?And yes I've got a digi to do, I did 3 FRERs in total but the control line was so faint on the last one I know there will be no more progression so won't use them again x

@2020wish congratulations lovely, hope this is a lucky sticky bean for you x

@MichT4 I reckon maybe you have a generally high amount of LH in your system they are super strong opks, but not peak yet so hopefully that will still be clear. I think that's it's always best to have hope even in this first month again, otherwise the time just drags on. I really need to sort out our house, I've got a pile of clean washing in a basket I just need to put away but instead I just woke up from a nap on the sofa 😂 really want to do some form of training today, what kinda kit do you have at home? xx

@Northernsoul90 I took opks pretty much every day that I wasn't on my period and I only had 2 days with no 2nd line I think, but my normal level was around 20% and the day before peak went to 45% up to peak for a couple day then back down to 20%. I think it depends how much lh you have naturally in your body and also can change a bit throughout the day x

@Lollol86 sorry AF has arrived but for most of us that first month we all agreed our bodies were resetting so hopefully your body has a nice clean slate for a successful month this time x

@SmileyT yeah maybe that's what it is. I still got a definite peak last month so I'm sure I will see it. These are still higher than my first days last month but I'm just not assuming anything until I see a peak.
I'd be tempted with the CB ones, but I wouldn't know when to start them this cycle.
I do feel positive actually, not that I'll necessarily catch but given last time I wasn't doing anything, I at least feel better that I have more awareness. And you never know, might be lucky 🤞🏼🤞🏼

A nap sounds much better! I just leave ours so long that then it becomes an almighty task.

We have a rack, bars, weight plates and a bench. The rack has cables attached too. And a punchbag 😂. OH is a PT so it's well equipped luckily. What training are you going to do?

I still ache tremendously from Thursday 🤣 xx

@VP91x thanks for the new thread 😇

@2020wish yes that's great line progress and amazing that you're showing on the pinkies after your experience! I hope this is your time 🌈

@Emsnewmum awww fingers crossed for you this month 🤞🏼

@lollol86 sorry you're sad today, it's totally understandable - take care this weekend xx

Thanks for new thread @VP91x. Fingers crossed that things stay on track for you this cycle. Your temp chart is looking good. I’m not tracking this cycle but by rough calculations I will be around 14po on 7th August so will test then if AF doesn’t show. X

@2020wish congratulations!! Really hope everything goes ok for you. X

@SmileyT absolutely resetting and that’s why I was ok with a negative test, it’s just hard when af finally arrives as you are aware. Fingers crossed for next cycle.

@fafi thanks lovely, I’ll be fine once this first af is out of the way. I’m going round my parents today for a bbq so that will keep me occupied.

@Pugprincess what a beautiful garden and a lovely memorial xo

@Firevie thank you. Hope you enjoy your anniversary x

@Pugprincess I know the dreams are crazy lol my last pregnancy I was also having very intense src dreams 😂 was very overwhelming. Aw I know how u feel :( this toke around I welcome any sickness or symptoms... not ever going to to complain at all

@chloedancer897 thank you, I got it on eBay. I would order now as it takes weeks to come. It’s called now progesterone cream. I’ve attached a pic. You start putting it in after you ovulate. And then continue it if you get a BFP or stop if bfn when af due. You rub it on ur tummy wrist thighs boobs etc-alternating the area each day.

@Lollol86 sorry af arrived :( but your closer to ovulation again. Fingers crossed this is ur cycle

@HopeForRainbowbaby thank you 🙏🏻

@2020wish thank you!

1@bxiiboo sorry af got you. Thank you 🙏🏻
@MrsK21 thank you 😊
@SmileyT thank you. Oh so ur getting dye stealers then? Amazing good progression
@fafi I know even my OH is shocked I’ve got a pink at 10dpo
@Wishingfornumber2 thank you
@Pugprincess that’s should a beautiful garden xxx

@MichT4 I remember my opks where strong after my last chemical for a few days then went negative then I ovulated a bit late that month so could just still be your hormones balancing

@2020wish yeah I'm not expecting miracles and to ovulate early. I'll just keep an eye on them, one or two a day when I can and just see this first month out. It's frustrating to think it might be a whole month before we can really try again, but there's nothing I can do so just have to hope for the best x

@MichT4 even DTD every couple of days so you are covered anyway even if they opks aren’t being ur friend x

@MichT4 how has the cleaning come along? I ended up napping when Bella did and now I feel groggy. Going to head out for a walk soon. That OPK is still soo dark, I wonder if they will go lighter and then pick up again? Will be interesting to see. How are your temps?

@Pugprincess that's a gorgeous garden for your little angel ❤️

@Emsnewmum thank you lovely, I hope they are all good signs for you, yes definitely don't lose hope at 10dpo!xx

Thank you @Stayinghopeful92x how are you? Xx

@Firevie enjoy your anniversary dinner, I'm sure you'll both have a fab evening 🥰🥰

@Northernsoul90 I always have a second line regardless of where I am in my cycle, they are just usually either much lighter or stay the same colour until they go peak xx

@Lollol86 I'm so sorry that AF got you it is such a bittersweet thing when it is your first period post-mc. Have a treat this weekend and keep positive for your future cycle, ❤️

@SmileyT yeah taking the calc and pom juice now. Is there anything else I should maybe take/try? I don't know where I read this or saw, but apparently after a while PG tests don't show any progress because the HCG becomes too high. I can't remember the exact bit of info so maybe ignore me 😂

@Wishingfornumber2 thank you lovely, fingers crossed for you too this cycle!! Xx

@2020wish yeah that's the plan, every other day until I see a peak, and if I don't we will just stick with it anyway. Then hopefully I won't have to worry too much as should be more than covered

@VP91x I'd love to say it's progressing, but I haven't done any yet. I feel tired and have a bit of a headache so I'm laid on the sofa. They aren't coming til 1 tomorrow so I have tomorrow morning to fall back on 😂

My temp came up slightly but still in the low range m. I'm interested to see what happens too, I just hope I ovulate at some point and it isn't hugely delayed if I do. I don't know when to expect it with the spotting starting a week before heavy bleeding. Not sure where I am.
I threw more money at it and bought the CB pack, but think I might wait until next cycle as I wouldn't know when to start.

How's potty training at home going? xx

Thanks for new thread fingers crossed for lots more positive tests 🌈🌈🌈 xx

@VP91x I believe ur right regarding the hcg @SmileyT once you get between 2/3 months I believe you can get the hook effect where they hcg is too high for the test to read. But also you can get a dye stealer where the test line will steal the dye from the control line and make the test line appear darker than the control line x

Thanks for that @SmileyT and @VP91x ☺️

Hopefully you will get a peak over the next few days @MichT4 I'm the same in that I don't want to waste my cb as I could be doing them for weeks before ovulation. They are too expensive to be doing for weeks on end 😂. I'm also sticking to a similar plan as you and dtd every tie he day either until I get a peak (hopefully) or af arrives. I just hope it's not too long of a wait

@MichT4 That was supposed to say dtd every other day 🤦🏽‍♀️

@MichT4 haha, yeah do a blitz tomorrow morning, you'll feel more motivated to do it then, plus a time limit 😂. Yeah, CB would be a mindfuck atm because you wouldn't know where you are. You don't want 20 smiley faces and end up smashing it up haha.

Yeah fab!! No accidents and she's done both things in the potty. She always looks a bit surprised 😂. I've popped her in a nappy as we a going to a couple of shops and the whole public loo situ is a bit sketchy right now. Don't want to push my luck with her, but now feeling a bit guilty for giving her mixed messages.

Xx

@VP91x exactly, I think I need to give that smug face a chance. This month it would be up against it 😂 I'll use it next month, and hope that it's more wasted money when I don't need them!

Don't worry about the mixed messages, it is tricky when you're out. Just whip it off as soon as you can. Also, I guess encourage her to tell you when she needs to go and if she has a dry nappy when you get home, she deserves a little treat.

@Northernsoul90 yeah I'll stick with OPKs and just see what happens. I think that and DTD every other day is all we can really do in this unknown situation.
Am actually also looking forward to my blood tests so whichever happens I feel quite relaxed this month I think

How are you today? xx
