Hopefully can get all you in here

@Sansa87 Bravo!! 👏🏅 I wouldn’t be able to do it!!

@stickytoffeepud1991 Jealous of whatever coast you’re on, we’re on the south coast and it was 33 here today 😩 it’s still 22 now!

AF didn’t arrive today but sure she’ll show her ugly face tomorrow.

Morning gang!

@whambam89 Oh fair enough haha, that would make tracking BBT harder! Not to get your hopes up but the tugging symptom is one I want and an indicator of early pregnancy so fingers crossed!! My BBT is being really annoying and just flatlining 😅

@duckii It's such great news you're getting the cycle length down - maybe even less this cycle!! AF is due today according to my apps and I'm still having light cramps so I'll give it until Friday. Nothing exciting happening with my BBT so fully expecting it!

@stickytoffeepud1991 It was 32 here yesterday and we were trying to paint the house. I spent most of my time laying on the floor in protest 😉 Remember it only takes once! I'm interested to know how often our BFP friends managed to DTD during the FW - I think twice popped up a few times. I'm wondering if we're overdoing it 🤣

@Sansa87 Haha well done 😉

Another flashing smiley 😩 this is day 7, & I’m on cd 18... it’s not looking great kids 😩

Really thought my body would get back to normal quite quickly. The lines are definitely getting darker. I only had 3 flashing smilies last time, so I’m not a fan of this.

@LeopardLover when we got our bfp In June, we’d managed 3 times in the fw.

It’s not as hot here as down south but it’s still too hot to be in fw!!! We managed to dtd last night thankfully. Think we’ll end up with just this and the weekend this cycle. Think I’ll ovulate sun or around there. We tried for most days last 2 cycles but there is just no way that is happening this time. I guess it only takes the once

Sorry af came @duckii
@Sansa87 I’ve read quite a lot of people havjng non stop flashing smilies on those but when they’re testing at the same time with fermometer opks for example that will be positive

@whambam89 I get that tugging every month too I’m not really sure what it is x

@Tigger1987 Thanks! I hope you enjoyed your holiday, it sounds perfect! Keeping my fingers crossed your line gets darker 🤞🏻

@Sansa87 Impressed you managed to DTD in this heat! Some people seem to get nearly 15 days of flashing smilies when they use a new holder. I think it's something to do with it getting to know your baseline. I've never used one so don't really know.. I hope you get your peak soon

@whambam89 I don't want to get your hopes up too much but I had that tugging feeling too.. You never know!

@stickytoffeepud1991 You only need to DTD once at the right time. DH and I only managed twice during the fertile window this cycle and must have got lucky with timing! It must be lovely living on the coast at the moment 😊

@duckii Sorry you're out but pleased your cycles seem to be getting shorter. Take the opportunity to treat yourself to a refreshing drink and some yummy food x

@MrsB2019x You don't know you're out until AF shows. Some people seem to get their BFP a few days after AF is due. Keep us up to date!

@LeopardLover Your BBT sounds promising! Are you testing tomorrow if AF doesn't arrive today? It's been far too hot for DIY - I'm very impressed!

Can anyone see anything here?? It's not a sensitive test and I'm only 11dpo but 100% sure that I can see something and it came up within the time I was cleaning my teeth... Don't want to get my hopes up but maybe!

Yep see that!!

@whambam89 I think I can see a shadow of something. 11dpo is still pretty early, hopefully it develops into a stronger line over the next few days!

@BuckleUp might see if I can get hold of a FRER for the morning. I've got a couple of strip tests that I'll no doubt do before the end of the day hahaha. Still got a light ache on the side I had the "tugging" last night and boobs are still sore this morning too. I've not told OH yet, going to wait until I get a strong line 🤞

Hate to be "that person" but here's one with the flash on, think it's clearer on this...

@whambam89 I can see the line!! How exciting. Yes a FRER would be a good shout. Let us all know how you get on!!

@BuckleUp Thank you :) Stark white this morning so think it was just an evap yesterday. Due AF tomorrow I think so we shall see.

@whambam89 I see it! Hopefully it gets stronger over the next few days! 🤞

@whambam89 looks like a bfp to me! And that tugging was definitely a symptom I remember!

@Tigger1987 @MrsB2019x @Sansa87 hopefully I'm not going crazy then if you can all see something! Really hoping AF doesn't arrive today 🤞

Hi everyone,

I have been lurking on here for a few weeks so thought it was about time I introduced myself! I hope you don’t mind me crashing, to help with my stress levels I have only allowed myself to read one thread on here or I lose hours 🤣

Massive congrats to those who got their BFPs and sending lots of love to those who have had a crappy few months.

I am 31 and my husband is 32 and this is our 3rd month TTC our first. I suspect I had a chemical in my first month had some really weird symptoms and a 32 day cycle where my usual is 27-28. When AF came she was much lighter than usual and cramps were very different. I didn’t test early and when I tested at day 31 it was negative with a CB digital.

This month is my first month tracking BBT all month and using OPKs.

I am finding myself really anxious and dwelling on thoughts of infertility when I know that it is still really early 🙄

I also had a 10cm dermoid ovarian cyst removed in emergency surgery in 2016 that had caused ovarian torsion, the consultant at the time told me it should not cause me problems and I didn’t lose an ovary or tube or anything. I have barely thought about it until TTC and now it’s just another thing to stress over!

Anyway, I am in my fertile week, I had a high reading on a femometer strip last night but CB advanced showed low again this morning. Definitely not loving the heat and being in FW.

Wishing you all lots of luck xx

@LT103 Well done for DTD in the heat! 😉

@BuckleUp Thank you! My BBT is higher than last month but it's flat... Happened last month too but still resulted in AF 😭 I want a nice spicey BBT chart 😂📈

@whambam89 EEEK! I can totally see something! Definitely get a FRER and use FMU tomorrow.

@89Ann Welcome!! 😊 It's totally natural to feel worried, this is my 3rd cycle too (probably soon to be 4th) but of course thoughts creep in!! I think it's important to try and enjoy TTC and not put too much pressure on it all (easier said than done). That surgeon wouldn't have told you that if it wasn't true. We're here for you!

Thanks @LeopardLover yes, isn’t it funny (or not) that you always think I will be totally chilled and the complete opposite is true!

Also @whambam89 I can definitely see a line 😬 fingers crossed for tomorrow! X

Welcome @89Ann everyone is so lovely here. I think all your thoughts and worries are normal and we’d no doubt all thought them xxx

Yep easily see it @whambam89

Welcome @89Ann

Can definitely see that @whambam89 !! Are you going to get a FRER?

I'm actually going to the EPU tomorrow to have a scan. My fever has ramped up a gear and so doctors suggest checking there's no retained tissue from the chemical. Tbh I hope that is the issue because then at least they'll treat it and I will stop feeling so shit!

@kirinm hope it all goes ok for you x

I don't think I'm going to bother getting a FRER, I've picked up another pack of the test I used this morning so hopefully will see a darker line in the next few days. Just feel like it's a bit of a waste of £10 when if it's a line then it's a line anyway if you know what I mean!

@kirinm good luck lovely. I hope you get some answers and can start feeling better ❤️

Oh no @kirinm hope all is ok

I have the usual heavy achey full uterus so I’ll be coming on tomorrow :(
So so gutted as I can’t carry on trying till December now
This will be another 9 day LP too :(
