Thank you everyone! I feel like it's too good to be true 😬 will stick around for a bit if that's ok. I was so convinced AF was coming that I ordered a thermometer for next cycle yesterday!

@blodyn91 we did the SMEP approach but I guessed when ovulation was because I didn't have a thermometer/opks - I think it was the 21st. Then had tinned pineapple once in the week after ov because it was all we had in 😅 and Brazil nuts and pomegranate juice with lunch the week after that. I have also been taking daily folic acid, iron and omega 3+vit d (I already knew I was low in iron from previous blood tests and I'm veggie so assumed I needed omega 3 too). Also have tried to get out on lunchtime walks the past couple of weeks to improve my circulation as I'm at my desk all day working from home.
@2alreadywantanother this was only our second cycle which is why I feel like it can't be real! Early days yet I guess, hopefully it sticks.
@Juno231 when are you going to test?! It's all sounding so positive for you this cycle!

Congrats @Quercus3 ! So are you about 4-5 weeks then if AF start time has gone?

@Newbie0818 thank you!

Just think it really shows to all the ladies who are feeling crap or who have taken a break - sometimes having time off TTC/work if you can getting your head together makes the difference

Ahhh thank you @Newbie0818 and congratulations @samilicious! Lovely news 🙂

I got really severe bloating and gas (soz tmi) about a week after ovulation, other than that just bad cramps the past few days! Cervix position has been no use whatsoever lol!

Yes I think 4 weeks @samilicious, are you the same?

@samilicious congratulations!!! ❤️

@NotSoPatientlyWaiting you poor thing! 18 months is bad enough with coronavirus holding everything up! I hope you get seen soon or better yet get a bfp while you are waiting.
@Quercus3 congratulations! Hope it sinks in soon.
And @samilicious congratulations to you too! Sounds like you have been taking care of yourself lately, glad it has paid off for you.

Bfn for me this morning 😭frer 12dpo.
Feel like I'm taking it worse this month because my cycles are gone bonkers and it just makes it feel like it's going to be harder because of that.

@samilicious Congrats! That means we've had four BFPs in the four days of August so far!! (I think!) Thank you for your update as well, I love reading those

@katao I'm sorry about you BFN :( One cycle closer to having a BFP at least xx

Thanks @Juno231. I'm feeling hopeful for you!
@blodyn91 are you back in the running too?

@Katao sorry about your BFN, I hope your cycle settles soon 💚

@NotSoPatientlyWaiting welcome to the group 😊 I'm sorry covid has mucked things up for you, 18 months is such a long time - I hope the wait doesn't go on much longer!

@LaceyMermaid has AF shown up yet or was it implantation spotting!

Congrats 🥳 @Quercus3!
Welcome @NotSoPatientlyWaiting I'm 11 months now and just getting started on tests. Got bloods this month and DH has his pot ready to do his sample when he actually calls up and books it! Has your tests come bk ok so far?
@lucyrp hope you ov soon lovely, I'm day 2 of flashing now and already feeling impatient as I usually ov by now! I'm glad it's later tho, means I get a nice mature egg for once 
@samilicious aww congrats and great list, thanks!

Congratulations @Quercus3 and @samilicious maybe August is going to be another bumper month like June was!!

Congratulations @samilicious!
@Juno231 fingers crossed things are looking positive for you! It was AF! quite light (I expected first one for 12 years to be heavy 🤣) but more than spotting So Femometer was right as AF turned up exactly 14 days after I got a peak OPK. Question is with those temps did I not ovulate?

Thank you guys, the first 12 months were more let's stop being careful, last 6 have been more why the hell is nothing happening!
@notyetamumbuttrying my bloods were OK and DH has his pot but kept "forgetting" to book his appt and then service shut down. Hope your results come back OK.

I think I may have to suggest some pizza, oreo and pouffe action this evening 😀

Just sat down to catch up since Saturday.....here we go.....

@Amy00 I love that mug idea it's brilliant 🤣 x

@Quercus3 I'd use a different hairdresser that's pretty crap to not give you an appointment saying you're not a priority! X

@Ltay2 didn't take OH long to make a full recovery then 😉 x

@lucyrp sorry you were feeling so down on Sunday I hope you feel better now? I'm sure it will happen for you soon try and stay positive I didn't get my peak until Cd18 and I thought I wasn't going to as I didn't get one the month before. I felt like mine was laughing at me too and got impatient but it will happen. You deffo do ovulate or you wouldn't have got PG before so stay hopeful it will happen soon. The cycle where i didn't ovulate I think I got about 12 flashy before the fertility monitor said to stop! I reckon you'll be like me and get it at about cd18 so you could have a few more days of flashy think I had 8 or 9 before I got Lh surge. I think you need to be going all lucy on OH for the next week to be sure to catch it 😉 I felt exactly like that last cycle every time it was still high oestrogen/flashy I was like 🤬 x

@Minster2012 that's a cute card 🥰 x

@Eloise27 congratulations on BFP 🎉 x

@Vil10 sorry about bfn ☹️ ooh holiday to turkey sounds great 🎉 hope you have an amazing time with your girls and plenty of cocktails 🥂🍾 x

@Madz123 congratulations on BFP 🎉 x

@Runnergirl1 so sorry to hear about your MMC big hugs hope you're okay x

@Somesome congratulations on BFP 🎉 x

@Quercus3 congratulations on BFP 🎉 x

@samilicious congratulations on BFP 🎉 x

Sorry to all those with bfn or af arrive ☹️ make sure you get some wine and chocolate xx

@laceymermaid looking at your chart and aligning it to your AF now I'd say it was an anovulatory cycle. You never really had a temp shift from the looks of it. Onwards and upwards though, bound to get better after this first bleed!

Huge congrats @samilicious and @Quercus3 🎉🎊 hope that this is the start of a bfp boom!

Nothing to report here yet lol. This 2ww is going more slowly ttc #2 I had work last time around to keep me busy. My 1 year old is currently giving her doll a hug and trying to feed it rice cakes. Think she wants a brother/sister as much as I do 😂🥰

Wow @Cocoblue22 reading your post really highlights how many bfps we have had lately!

@ttcbaby1 what happened to your vvvfl on Sat? Did it progress?

@Juno231 yes I was reading about that yesterday and I agree it seems likely. I’m hoping it’ll all go like it did when TTC #3 now, had a period which was like a reset and then got a bfp! Although I’m not sure it will as I’m 12 years older now but 🤞🏻
Got my new thermometer coming today and a new set of opks so I’m good to go!

@katao didn't it just! Made me realise I'd missed Madz off the list to that makes 5 BFPs for August already. Potentially 6 if TTCBaby1 responds!

Man scratch that - I missed Madz off the July list and Ltay2 off the Aug one... Not thinking straight today.

@Juno231 you're doing great! Fab to have so many bfps we are losing track 😀

Congratulations to the recent BFPs! @Juno231 this month is off to a positive start if we have as many BFPs as we are days into August. Are you tracking now as you're driving the bus? 👍🏼

I might test at 12 DPO on Thursday just because I'll be doing my weekly shop and want to check if I should buy a bottle of wine for the weekend. Might have to pick up a bottle of red instead of the usual white after @Florence13 red wine revelation 😆

I've reached the stage where I don't believe I'm able to get a BFP... I may only be on cycle 6 but it feels like enough BFNs to suggest something isn't right and I've no previous pregnancies to suggest otherwise. I'll be in a state of shock if a positive result does appear 😅

Hopefully more positives for all of you on the way though🤞

@2020mission haha I know what you mean - I'm in that mindset as well. As in, nothing has worked before, I've never had an accidental BFP why would it possibly work now on cycle 7?

Yeah I'm tracking as best I can - fairly certain I've captured most/all of it! I should def have the Aug stats correct, slightly trickier with Jul as I only started tracking towards the end of it :)
