Have a great holiday @Vil10 🥰😎

Morning girls, another flashing smiley for me today!🤬 can anyone remember how many you're supposed to let it go to before you stop doing them ??

@Vil10 hope you have a fab holiday!!🤪🥳

@Vil10 Have an amazing holiday lovely!!! So jel of the sun! ☀️

@lucyrp I think it's 6 days? Although not entirely sure!

@lucyrp i think it says 9 on the instruction booklet before you should stop, how many is this? x

@Ltay2 I'm on day 6 today 😬😬 not looking very hopeful although I got this OPK last night on an IC and it definitely looks darker than the IC I took 2 days ago ?

Also the IC says I took at 7:47 but that was when I just recorded it. It was sometime in the evening maybe from the night before I can't remember 🙈

@lucyrp I just looked at the instruction booklet online and apparently 25% of people have between 5 and 9 flashys before a static so don't give up hope you're still pretty early at CD14 xx

@SmileyT oh okay thanks, I was looking for my instructions in my bedside drawers but couldn't find them that's why I had to ask if anyone knew 🙈🙈 I must remember to take some OPKs witj me to work to test when I go to the loo and then one layer when I'm home and see if anything changes there xx

@Vil10 have an amazing holiday, you deserve a lovely time! Great to get a break from all of this as well

@lucyrp fab that you're still within the normal range, keeping my fingers crossed for you tomorrow!

@lucyrp Oh that's good still got another few days to get there! Don't worry sure it will come soon and with you doing the OPKs too you'll be able to see what's happening!

@Quercus3 thank you! Every morning I'm like come on todays the day and then it flashes and I'm like 😑

@Ltay2 I have 3 more days for my body to do its thang or I can't do the CB for this cycle 🥺 I was meant to take ICs with me to work yesterday and I forgot so I must remember this morning 😂🙈

Just took a test because AF still hadn't arrived, despite having bad AF-style cramps for 3 days and it's a BFP... bit gobsmacked! Doesn't feel real

Wow congrats @Quercus3!!

@lucyrp Hopefully your body behaves itself!! 3 days is a long time in terms of OPK testing though so you've still plenty of opportunity!

@Quercus3 Omg congratulations!! I had (and still have each morning) cramps before BFP too.

@Quercus3 wow congratulations!!!!!

@quercus3 oh wow congrats
Have u been ttc for long

@Quercus3 congratulations!!! 🎉

@lucyrp you have still got time hang in there I’m sure you will hopefully get that static soon!

@Quercus3 massive congratulations!!

Hi all,
Can i jump on?
TTC no1 for 18 months :(
Had referral in for testing then the blinking 'rona got us. Currently just trying to make best of WFH with lots of DTD.

Congratulations @Quercus3 - such lovely news

@lucyrp I usually get a peak day after a 44% high, so 🤞 for tomorrow.
@Quercus3 congrats. Please share your tips and tricks 😆

So CD30, FF was definitely correct, femometer not with Ovulation day, 10dpo, spike in bbt this morning (had 2 alcoholic drink early evening yesterday and got sun burnt). All hangs on tomorrows temp now 😬

I kept complaining to OH this morning that the tea tastes funny /not good. Just realised that could be me and not the tea 🙊

@Quercus3 omg congratulations!!

@Ltay2 yasss hopefully il get a static by Friday if not I will not be exactly over the moon 🙈

@Florence13 thanks I really hope so I thought this cycle may be normal but then again it could also be very messed up 😬

@blodyn91 oooo okay !🤞🏼🤞🏼

So after freaking out about my second estrogen surge the other day, took a cheap strip test just in case and would you know... it was positive! 🎉

Completely counted myself out this month as hadn't dtd loads, but here's what I did differently recently in case it helps anyone... (not your usual list of these so apologies in advance)

• Had time off work

I was so so stressed and down TTC and having extreme pain periods these last 7/8 months which was just like living my MC from last year all over again every time, I had a bit of a breakdown - plus lockdown and working 60 hour weeks throughout it didn't help. So I was off sick for a few weeks just to rest and get my head together and stop caring about TTC. Back at work now but that helped me rest and reset

• Took these 'hormone balance' tablets for vegans up to day 13 when I usually OV - they contained evening primrose but still didn't get any ewcm ☹️ 💦 they did make me OV 3 days later though

• Started going to bed a bit earlier for extra sleep 😴
• DTD at a random time - OH woke me up in the middle of the night with a surprise 🍆
• Drank more water 🥤
• Ate peanut butter and cookies (OREO ofc) Ben and Jerries 😉

• Stopped binge eating

Don't mean just overeating a bit - it got pretty bad. I was making my stomach really bad for a year - got diagnosed with a possible hiatal hernia last year a few months after my MC and only just had the time to heal and really stop abusing my body in that way

I know my time here was short but I genuinely have been lurking for about 4/5 months and you ladies' stories/chat helped me out so much when I felt like giving up, so thank you ❤️

Omg @Quercus3 yes congrats!! 🎉🎉 bet you're over the moon 💕 did you have any symptoms apart from cramps? Any spotting?

@Juno231 ooh that's a very classic tell tale sign!

Wow @samilicious what a line stealer that is! Fantastic! Congrats lovely 🎉💕
