I'm CD11, waiting for something (anything) to happen this month 😂. Only taking my Inofolic Alpha this cycle and nothing else.

Hope I've tagged everyone xx

Oh and also got my pregnancy test today for Friday yay xx

@Firevie good luck 🙏🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻

@Firevie I'm exactly the same, if I haven't caught this month I'm going to try and make an effort to start recording my cm next cycle. Ohhhh yes really hoping 1 of us at least gets a positive result this week. Xx

@Pugprincess thank you
@Lollol86 yes agreed but I think both of us may not need to bother 😊 and @scrambledeggy I think?! So quite a few BFPs on our way yay xxx @MichT4

@Firevie I really hope so 🤞🏻 xx

@Firevie let's hope for a full house this week 🤞🏼

@Firevie how's your holiday going? Any news when your dh is flying over? Do your eyebrows look amazing? So jealous 😂

Full house indeed ladies!!
@Lollol86 really lovely being home! Oh my wax lady had to cancel ugh so now tmr afternoon! Ugh! DH is flying over Thursday morning yay
Going for runs every day eating healthy spending time with parents so all good
And I love my city it’s beautiful
Just finished my run but I’ll send you a pic of my view when I run tmr xxx

@Firevie please do put some pictures up. I'd love to go there and we were going to go a few years ago for the Christmas markets but it was a time around terrorist attacks so didn't go in the end. We love going on city breaks for the Christmas markets when I say we I mean me 😂😂.
You have the best of both worlds, some time away from dh and also getting to spend some time away with him
Xx

Not terrorise attacks there there had just been some in Germany I think from what I remember and we didn't feel safe going anywhere.

@Firevie Oh my god if I got a BFP this week...despite my feeling a bit hopeless the other day, I've been in such a good mood, very un-PMS-y this week, so I'm reaaaaallly hoping for the best, not just for me, but for all of us! Can't wait to see your pic

Ladies asking about Cm. I’m no expert and don’t track it religiously but usually my Cm is creamy for about a week after ovulation and then begins to dry up. But when I fell pregnant my Cm remained creamy and ended up getting quite abit of it - very noticeable that’s how I knew I was pregnant before my bfp.

I’m only 1dpo and already driving myself abit insane lol x

I'm so bloody fed up of the opks this month, might just give up on them now. I thought my lunchtime one was maybe a tad darker but nope, nothing noticeable. Massive sigh.

@MichT4 temps are still above coverline which is good news!! Regardless of fluctuations 🥳. My OH has spent all day getting his crate ready and all other bits. Cleaning, all sorts he never does this 😂. It is also his birthday on Thursday so just in time! How has your day been?

@Northernsoul90 I got it done at a private clinic called The Scan Clinic funnily enough😂. I think if you're concerned about something like scar tissue etc thst seems like the most logical first option. Bloods etc would only show you hormones as opposed to anything physical xx

@MrsK21 ahh crazy that it started working for you already!! Did the docs advise you taking the full course regardless of when you started bleeding?

@Rb486 yay to flashy smiley, you don't want to hear about my CB digi experiences 😂 I've had up to 11 but I now know I have PCOS so pay no attention to me. I think the average is 3-4 xx

@Runnergirl1 thank you for replying about your cm xx

@VP91x oh what a lovely week you have coming up. How was wfh today?
Yeah my day was good, it's gone quickly which is nice. Just catching up on MAFSA now. I'm happy my temps have stayed high, I'm hoping it means I definitely ovulated. I just feel nothing symptom wise, for either outcome. Had a bit of heartburn yesterday and I sometimes feel nauseous but that's not too unusual for me at times. Still got a CM situation but again I don't really know if that's unusual.

Annoying about the OPKs. What % did it show on the app? When will you book in your blood test? xx

Also regarding OPKs I can’t get a peak on my OPKs. I too don’t get on with the cheap OPKs, I get a slight line then test with cb. This pic is my cheap opk at the same time as cb static so trying to be confident in how your feeling about your body is key. For instance I had ovulation pains Saturday and so did cb and straight away got my peak - very lucky this time round 🤞🏻 It doesn’t fail me after my mmc and I did actually ovulate

Hi all, it's been a while since I last posted. How are you all?? I had a MC in May then fell pregnant without a period but miscarried again in July... The bleeding stopped 16th July and I've just found out I'm pregnant again! Praying this is 3rd time lucky but who knows 😩 xxx

Just catching up now been to Pizza Hut for dinner 🍕

OPKs
I used the CB digital one for the first time in June and I conceived that cycle, now I can't say that's what did the trick of course but i definitely want to use it again ASAP. From what some of you ladies have said i am best using cheap OPKs first and then switching when I get a line on those?? I only used 4 of the CB ones last cycle because I got a low (first time using it) then low again and then straight to peak and I think I used another one just to test a theory about the lines on the tests lol so I've got 16 left from my pack so I want those to last me a good few months! I've tried looking for refills to and can't seem to find them but sincerely hope I never need any!! 🤞🏻

CM
I do tend to check my CM but I've never really noticed a pattern other than right before AF it definitely dries up whereas when I was pregnant it was really milky and lots of it. However I don't like to trust CM because it varies so much in my experience that I can't work it out enough to be sure that it's a sign of AF or BFP.

My TTC goal going forward is to not get too wrapped up in symptom spotting or early testing. I vow never to test before 12dpo! I had a positive at 11dpo but I don't want to find out too early as it's just agonising waiting for AF either BFN or BFP. The only symptom I had when testing was my boobs got a little tender and I felt a few twinges around implantation time. I'm hoping OPKs will at least give me some guidance of when to expect AF for this first post MC. If it falls into my normal cycle (doubtful) I'll be due AF around my birthday so I mean that would be a lovely 30th birthday present but I won't hold my breath!

@MichT4 I haven't bought him a card or present yet so he might hate me but the end of the week. Need to sort something out 😂

I know this is my two from today the top one is what they've been like every single time I've tested. So bored of them 🙄.

I picked up my blood form today so will do them Wednesday if nothing changes by then. I feel really hopeful for you this month, especially with still having noticeable cm etc xx

Haha @VP91x what are you planning on getting him? Get him something for the pup, easy!

They are light, but so are the control lines which is odd. They are getting darker though.

Ahh thank you lovely, I whole heartedly hope you are right. I am keeping a pma, but I just think the chances first cycle probably aren't great. Will take it happily though. I'm happy I'm in with a shot at least and every now and again I do have a flurry of hope, but we will see 🤞🏼

Wow @IWM20 congratulations!! How amazing to fall so quickly each time. What's your secret?? Wishing you are sticky sticky 3rd bean xx

@Lollol86 & @scrambledeggy after ovulation, if you are not pregnant, CM dries up pretty quickly. Usually after ovulation, having CM is a very good sign in terms of conception of it is quite wet & not dry. Good luck ladies 💫 xxx

@VP91x also I think my CP is quite low but I never like to think too much into that xx

@HappyVibes would you say that happened soon after ovu? I should note my CM more as I don't really know what's normal for me

@IWM20 - so sorry for your losses. Fingers crossed this is your sticky bean 🤞🏻🤞🏻

And @IWM20 what symptoms have you had? xx
