Update on me - there is no update 😂 CD20, not even a sniff of a positive OPK and no temp rise. Will have bloods done in the next couple of days. Gynae appt on 16th Sept is the plan xx

@HE88 I think there could be something there. Definitely wait a couple of days and test again.

@MichT4 yeah I'll hold off and do one in a couple of days. I'm so scared to go to the toilet in case I have more spotting 🤦‍♀️. Thanks for the nail comment 😊 it's just a nail polish I usually do a gel on them but couldn't be arsed lol. Xx

@lollol86 I'll hold off until Sunday I think. Xx

@Lollol86 oooh lovely!! Thank you for sharing.

I will google calc Fluor just out of curiosity as I have never heard of this.

What was your TTC journey doll? How many months post MC etc? I love that you’ve got your BFP it’s amazing!

@MichT4 bless you, I bet your head is like wahhhh, just tell me what my body is doing! Your OPK is so strong! I have no idea what that means but I gather you’ll have googled like crazy to see what this may mean?
Xxx

@HappyVibes so this is my second cycle since my mc in June. I have 2 girls and have had 2 mc, just praying this 1 sticks to
Complete our family ❤️

@MichT4 praying for your OH's balls 😂🙏

@Nothernsoul90 A great idea, I'm actually in quite a good mood today so I might cement it with some cheesecake!

@Lollol86 I hope so! I am so excited to see how you get on

@Lollol86 ahhh I LOVE that. This is my exact hope for our journey too. MMC in June, so hoping that August cycle is our one 💓 Thank you SO SO much for sharing lovely. Sending you lots and lots of strong and healthy vibes xxxx

@MichT4 There's no harm in doing one tomorrow and then maybe take one away just in case to do in another couple of days. I know exactly what you mean it's not nice being in limbo you just want to know what's going on! Xx

@HE88 It's hard to tell but i think I can see something there? 🤞🏼🤞🏼 xx

@scrambledeggy I love cheesecake!! I made a lotus biscoff and white chocolate one a few weeks ago and it was amazing 😋 definitely treat yourself xx

@HappyVibes Im with you also! mmc in June then this is my first proper cycle since - I ovulated last month for the first time after still getting positive tests for 6 weeks and then af has now just been so hoping August is the one!! 🙏🏼🙏🏼 xx

@MichT4 my goodness what is happening with your OPK?! I am so so confused. With the last pg, didn't you get a high OPK before your BFP too or am I imagining things??
I was really hoping it's a clear BFP for you but hopefully you get a clearer picture in a day or two. Then either way you can relax and enjoy your hols! Sorry to hear your OH has been bitten as well, hope he's back on his feet and ready to go asap!

@Firevie my AF after the longest cycle ever also started really really light, I had 3 days of light spotting (barely needed a panty liner) and then it started in earnest.

I can't remember who else said they're on a 70? something day cycle (think it was @scrambledeggy?) but FYI, the Provera definitely helped me so would advise asking your GP for it if possible.

@Lollol86 aw that's some amazing line progression there! I've got all the same supplements too so you're giving me hope!

@HE88 sorry I couldn't see anything on your photo (gorg nails btw!) but it's still very early so you're not out yet

@VP91x how are you doing? Have the OPKs started behaving? Jel you're in a tesco shop with chilled aisles, I'm still baking at home. Might have to do my food shop this evening just for some cold air!

I'm currently CD3 and AF is still quite heavy, had some bad cramps last night but I'm happy it's all on it's way out.
Got a bit of a dilemma though, according to Glow using my normal 28 days cycle I will be in FW the exact times I planned to go away and stay with my parents for a bit (without OH as he has work) which in itself, I can probably change but my sister is also planning to visit then and it's my wee niece's birthday.
I don't want to miss her birthday but at the same, don't want to miss the opportunity to TTC, especially after such a long cycle!

@scrambledeggy def make a cheesecake - lovely treat!
I’m even thinking of treating myself to a glass of wine or two this evening, as my dads best friends are here and we are all off to our lovely vineyards for some authentic Austrian food and drink. So may have a drink now that I have af!
@Northernsoul90 @HappyVibes looks like we will be in the TTC club for our next cycle. I had my MMC in July, ovulated two weeks after surgery and got af bang smack four weeks after surgery! It will be the next one then xxx

Hey girls I know I haven't written on here in so long but I literally read this thread every day to see how everyone is doing. I don't post much because I don't want to take away from the TTC aspect and you're all so gracious to those of us who have got BFPs ❤ but I have been WAITING for this morning @MichT4 and am sorry it's not a clear BFP but I just had to hop on and say I have never had an OPK like that except when I was pregnant!! My goodness it is strong!! And agree with @VP91x .. I doubt it's a pre-AF surge. And now I don't know how I'm going to wait until you test again, please tell me you're doing another one tomorrow!! I can't wait for 2 more days!

@chloedancer897 my heart went out to you reading your struggles a few days back.. and I think you have absolutely made the right decision for you. I also have 2 kiddies and am so grateful for them but was absolutely not ready to be done either, we knew our family was not complete and i just wanted to send you hugs and prayers, continue to be so hopeful for you ❤

@BEESY90 I am just so sorry for what you are going through and echo what everyone else has been saying- you can do this, but you don't have to do it alone. Please keep using this group as support and talk to someone when you are ready ❤

Also meant to say huge congrats to @Pugprincess and @HE88!! And sorry for any I have missed!

@Northernsoul90 and @MrsK21 thanks ladies it is really hard to see in the pic tbf.
I've just had some more spotting after a bm sorry tmi but it was the same yesterday with the spotting. I'm going to try and keep positive though and go with the mindset your not out until af shows. Xx

@1990EM thank you so much. I'm like an emotional rollercoaster at the minute. It's so hard when you want something so bad and you just can't get there. And the MC in May just sent me over the edge. I'm currently waiting to hear back from a private fertility clinic because I've been on the list for NHS treatment for 2 years and I'm getting nowhere so we decided to bite the bullet and take out a loan to do this. And I think once the pressure is off me I will start feeling a bit more hopeful. Thanks for coming on to check on us all x

@MichT4 I see a faint line on that FRER and I believe @SmileyT got a peak OPK before her BFP so I have everything crossed for you x

Oh goodness I'm so sorry I used the wrong tag, though I do think I see a line on yours @HE88!! Will you be testing again tomorrow? I meant to say congrats to @Lollol86 too!

@1990EM thanks but I'm not 100% convinced it's a positive. Xx

@1990EM thank you xx

@HE88 I can see it!!!! Retest again tomorrow

@MichT4 I honestly think I can see that! Did I not use a clear blue alongside it? And tbh I only ever got a opk like that when I was pregnant!! And with ur temps and itchy pits I really think it’s BFP!! Rest eat again tomorrow

@HappyVibes yeah I'm a bit confused 😂. My head is also still absolutely thumping which isn't pleasant! But will see how this pans out I guess.

@scrambledeggy 😂😂 thanks. He's out and on a course of antibiotics. Balls intact, infection not tracking to his groin yet 🤣. And definitely make cheesecake and then bring me some!

@Northernsoul90 yeah I will do that. I can't imagine having much time in the morning to stare at tests which is probably a good thing.

@MrsK21 I know, typically think that's probably the darkest OPK I've ever had. Just all seems odd, but I'm sure these are just cruel pre AF tricks.

That's tough with the timing of things. Can you go for a shorter time so you don't miss the birthday? It's annoying because you might not ovulate in line with the apps, and I do think you should keep doing things you enjoy and want to do. Hopefully you can arrange it so you can do both.

@1990EM thanks lovely, I do read about these things but think I should be getting positive pg tests too?
Haha I probably will test tomorrow but I'm fearful of using all my tests and still nothing. How are you getting on?

@chloedancer897 can you? 👀 I'm not overly sure if I'm seeing things. I'd have thought it would be clearer, and think it definitely would be in line with the OPK?

xx

@MichT4 phew at least his balls are intact 😂😂 love that! Xx

@2020wish 😂😂😂 itchy pits will never fail to make me laugh.
No I didn't use CB because I thought it would just be a waste. Maybe I should have. I just think, deep down, my test should have been positive with an OPK like that. But I'll be patient and test again xx

@Lollol86 yeah I know what you mean about the digis it is seeing it in proper words! Brilliant that it came up and hopefully soon you can start to enjoy the pregnancy ❤️

@Scrambledeggy do you have fertility friend? I'm so tempted to say that you ovulated on CD55 I think it is.

@MichT4 would you use CB tomorrow when you test? How is your OH? Balls all intact? 😯 Oops update just saw the balls are a-okay! (still haven't stashed away my pom poms)

@HE88 I think I can see a vfl too! Definitely give it a couple of days and retest. Sending you lots of luck xx

@MrsK21 I'm okay, its my partners birthday today so popped to tesco to get cake and things for brunch/dinner as he wanted a roast for dinner. I'm making steak and eggs for brunch 🥳😍. No, my OPKs are a pile of crap, I think I'll give up after tomorrow. AF will be due at some point soon. Hmm so tricky about your time away, it's so unpredictable with your first few cycles.. It really depends how you would feel if you potentially missed the window. xx

@1990EM so lovely to hear from you❤️ I hope you and bump are all okay!

I'm new to this thread, just had my implant removed on mondsy and starting our journey lol. I made need help as i have no idea what all the abbreviations our lol anyone have a guide,😂. Hope you all have succesdful journey

@VP91x I'd probably use both tomorrow, but then I'm quick out of tests. I do have the triple so I assume there's 2 early ones in there with the digital?

Yep he's fine, he's happy he can drink on his antibiotics 😂

Happy birthday to your OH. Brunch sounds great! And a roast - lucky boy!

I feel bad as I haven't told OH I even tested. I don't like to put him through all the ups and downs. But I just laughed about the itchy pit thing so told him about the video saying it's a symptom and he said to test now. I should have just told him but I just said I'd do it tomorrow. Why I couldn't just say is beyond me 😂😂 xx
