We’re nearly full so made us another thread!

How is everyone?

I’m 6DPO CD31.. going to be a 40+ day cycle.. as if 30 doesn’t feel long enough!! Nothing to report aside from that.

@Kalecat how was the Bachelorette party?

I’m officially a day late and feeling a bit rough. But I’m too scared to test. I’m still having AF type cramps and normal AF symptoms so still fairly sure it’s on the way.

Beepbeep42 · 31/08/2020 20:28

@Whilstwewait congratulations!

@Nottherealslimshady your line progression looks line mine, fingers crossed for us :-)

@SamiBo a high, soft cervix is a good sign, I'd wait a couple of days then test again - fingers crossed!

1992EM · 31/08/2020 20:42

@whilstwewait congratulations, its as if it was just meant to be. 🥰

@nottherealslimshady that is amazing progression. Congratulations 💕 I haven't seen those vitamins before but I may try them next month.

lovely to see some positive stories makes you feel like one day it will be you .

@samibo I would get a frer early response . some tests are not sensitive enough to be positive even if you are. Good luck x

@beepbeep42 I hope you are well and you line progresses

@amelia891 Good luck 💕

My oh has agreed to take vitamins they aren't the ones I got but have l the same stuff so thats all that matters 🤣 .No idea what our plan is maybe try every 3 days the full cycle and more when opks are positive .

Kalecat · 31/08/2020 20:44

@Nottherealslimshady congrats! That's a great line progression 🤍

@Amelia891 the bacheloretteparty was lovely! And AF was kind enough to hold off for 2 days.

With that said, AF has arrived today and I am excited to TTC again in 2 weeks :)

SamiBo · 31/08/2020 20:45

@AnnaPosie thank you for the welcome! 😘

@Beepbeep42 Thank you for the advice 🙏 I will try to restrain from crazy person testing for a couple of days. Your line progression is very exciting and encouraging news. I hope they continue to get stronger!💕

SamiBo · 31/08/2020 20:47

@1992EM That’s a good idea. I don’t want to waste one but I’d hope 4 days late would pick up on one of those. Thank you 🙏 x

1992EM · 31/08/2020 20:55

@samibo hopefully it shows a BFP in a couple of days.

@kalecat glad AF was kind to you and you could enjoy your weekend. Fingers crossed September will be our month x

Nottherealslimshady · 01/09/2020 08:12

Thanks guys, feeling ok, anxious sometimes but feeling positive.
@1992EM I just got them from a pharmacy in town, I'd been taking seven seas beforehand but couldn't find a boots so just bought these lol

Hope you're all doing well, cant wait to see your BFPs this month x

1992EM · 01/09/2020 15:48

@nottherealslimshady thank you. I have everything crossed for you that this little bean stays stuck x

Amelia891 · 02/09/2020 07:31

Just got a very definite bfp. 3 days late. Can not believe it, really felt like AF was coming. Over the moon but also in shock! Hoping the cramps I’ve been having aren’t anything bad. So far everything has been different to last time symptom wise which I think is what threw me!

Nottherealslimshady · 02/09/2020 08:34

@1992EM thank you :) going to see your bfp soon!

@Amelia891 congratulations

AnnaPosie · 02/09/2020 10:26

@Amelia891 congrats!!

Seems like we are getting lot's of positive stories in the last week or so👏👏👏♥️

AnnaPosie · 02/09/2020 11:17

This is my first month tracking my ovulation, I've been taking daily tests and getting positive results for the last 6 days, yesterday had the strongest line, is this normal? I didn't think ovulation lasted this long ?! 🙈 I'm googling but getting more confused 😂

Littlebee1990 · 02/09/2020 12:53

@AnnaPosie What do you mean by a positive result? 2 lines isn’t positive, a positive is only when the test line is darker than the control line (see mine attached) the ONLY positive is on 27th x

@littlebee1990 ahhh ok 😂😂🙈 this makes more sense 😂😂 ok perfect thank you !! I just thought if it was two lines it means you are ovulating 🙈 I'll have a look back at the pics I took, I definitely had one darker than the control line , thanks again. I need to go an do a college course on this 😂

Littlebee1990 · 02/09/2020 13:30

Haha @AnnaPosie there should always be 2 lines 🤣🙈 xx

dogmam · 02/09/2020 13:38

@Annaposie there should actually be a college course on all of this!! Instead of all the terror they fill you with about falling pregnant if you miss the pill, condom splitting etc etc hope you get the hang of your opks, it can be so confusing but @littlebee1990 pic with her tests on a really good example of daily progression. Don't be put off though if you get days where the line is faint then slightly darker then faint again, it doesn't necessarily get darker every every day, and your peak is only when the line is as dark or darker x

AnnaPosie · 02/09/2020 23:53

@dogman there really should be, I can't believe how clueless I am! I was using cheap euro shop tests and the instructions in the back are the same as pregnancy tests so that's why I thought I needed two line s, thank God for this forum 😂😂🙈😊

Littlebee1990 · 03/09/2020 08:13

How is everyone doing? 6DPO here.. the TWW is sooooooo annoying!! Go away today (only in England) and have packed some tests but don’t know when to do one.. perhaps Tuesday which will be 11DPO & 4 days before AF is due

SamiBo · 03/09/2020 10:31

@Amelia891 congratulations! Great news.
I got a bfp too yesterday (4 days late). I was so excited but through the night I’ve had bad cramps and I’m bleeding this morning. Not a huge amount and no clots but it’s an alarmingly bright red. Excitement has been replaced with worry. Confused How are your cramps doing? Hope everyone’s doing ok!

AnnaPosie · 03/09/2020 21:19

@Samibo fingers crossed for you ♥️♥️♥️

AnnaPosie · 03/09/2020 21:22

After my ovulation revelation during the week , turns out I am ovulating today, did a cheap test and dark line and did clear blue to make sure but of course my OH got stung by a load of bees and is too tired to DTD... If I didn't laugh I would cry 😂🤣 we've been "busy" this week so fingers crossed we are covered but would definitely preferred to have DTD today 🙈😭😂
