@VP91x that line is so strong you are for sure ovulating ha! There’s no reason it should be a false peak given that you’ve never had them so strong like this for months.

Oh wow if you could get two in one day then I deffo would, there’s no harm in that at all. If you can I would, but at the same time, it sounds like you’re covered with doing the day of ovulation and day after? (If yesterday was ovulation?) With the strong line today will you be DTD tomorrow too? Maybe do lunch time today & then morning tomorrow? You’re fertile for upto 24hours after ovulation. As I don’t use the OPKs I am not sure if you’re test is showing ov yesterday or today? Xxx

@VP91x I’m saying dtd tonight too just because you can lol 21 week dry spell for me and counting 🤣🤣🤣🤣 xxx

That sounds exciting @RichmondLady1981 How are your tests coming up in terms of where you’re at in FW? Have you worked out how you’re gunna DTD around the FW ha? You’re so so right...it is SO mechanical. Literally me and my husband canNOT wait to have sex for pleasure. We do it so much in FW that we’ve forgot what having it for pleasure is like now eurgh. Won’t be long now hehehe.

I am not sure who the next tester is - I know that I am testing Saturday. My TWW buddies are @MrsK21 & @Northernsoul90 ... I am pretty confident we had another buddy too but all these names & stories I feel so ignorant but everything gets all blurred into one eek. 💓

@Pugprincess I know I could easily have them weekly 😂😂

@VP91x wow that is blazing. At least you have a scan this week so you will get a definite answer as to whether you ovulated xx

@MichT4 still no bleeding? Are they hospital going to do a follow up? Xx

Thanks @RichmondLady1981 I feel ok, just totally out of touch with my body. I don't know what's going on.

@Lollol86 no, no bleeding. I had my cervical screening yesterday and the nurse couldn't believe how little the nhs were doing. She made my cervix bleed a little bit later on I had brown spotting. I don't know if it's the start of AF or a result of the smear. I think the latter as it's eased a lot, just a bit when I wipe. My temps have spiked again, after a load of EWCM on Saturday. So I just have no idea.
I have blood tests waiting which have to be CD1-7 but I don't know if this is what it is. I need to call the GP today as he didn't call me back yesterday about a now long wait for a NHS referral.

Just so frustrating. The first two passed so quickly and now I just have nothing going on

@VP91x 🥳🥳🥳 for the lines! Finally! Really hope this is a wonderful cycle for you

Xx

@RichmondLady1981
I'm on 3dpo.
Already fighting with myself not to test early.

@VP91x so delighted to see that strong line for you! Amazing! Go crazy dtd you deserve it!
@MichT4 sorry I completely missed what’s happened with you? You’ve had bleeding/spotting?! Sorry I even went back couple of pages to see your update but must have missed it. Sending you hugs xxx

@RichmondLady1981 this thread definitely is an education.
No I don't mind you asking at all, I've been trying for just shy of 3 years, I already have a daughter who is 8 and had no issues conceiving her, in fact I conceived as soon as I came off the pill. After a year of trying I went to my gp who tested my hormone levels and I had the 21 day ovulation blood test both came back normal. Tried for another 3 cycles nothing so went back to gp who referred me to a fertility clinic. At my first appointment they scanned me and found an endometrioma on my right ovary so referred me for a laparoscopy and tube test. I had that done in October last year. Found out at the start of this year I was pregnant then had a mmc in February. I've been trying since then so 7 months on and still not luck and this month would have been my due date so feeling extra sensitive this month.
How long have you been trying for? Xx

AF is due today and tomorrow according to two different apps so I’ll be testing Saturday too if she hasn’t arrived by then. This is first cycle since MC though and I’ve heard they can be slightly longer.

I wasn’t sure of the exact date I ovulated as CB OPKs didn’t detect a peak and then I had to stop using them as I went away for a week. Cycle apps suggest that I am 12dpo and 14dpo (although the last one can’t be right as I did OPK on that day and day after which didn’t show anything). Last dtd was 11 days ago.

I’m trying so hard not to test early but the temptation is a killer! I’m also looking out for symptoms for AF as I usually have a breakout just before but that’s not come yet so fingers crossed. No more crazy dreams for me tho! Xx

@MichT4 I'm so sorry you're getting such horrendous care. Would you think of going privately? I'm annoyed that you aren't getting any real answers.

@Hayley19835 I'm the other TWW buddy! 8DPO today. I did say I wasn't going to test but it's my daughters birthday the day my period is due so I might test next Monday just to have the heads up of the BFN. Not hopeful at all anymore so I think testing is only confirming what I already know but at least I'll know a day early. The pregnancy tests are just an AF predictor for me these days.

@HE88 I have everything crossed for you this month xx

@VP91x check out that OPK! I think DTD today and tomorrow will have you covered 😊😊

@Firevie nothing has happened really. I still haven't had bleeding at all. I had my smear test and had some brown spotting after and I wasn't sure if it was AF but it's stopped so I think it was the smear test aggravating my cervix.
Just spoke to the GP who has refereed me to RMC and is calling the gynae to ask about the bleeding issue

I'm half inclined to drop this for a while. I'm exhausted and emotionally drained xx

Thanks @chloedancer897 same to you. Xx

@MichT4 it's just ridiculous that they have just left you like this. Surely they need to do more to manage this? Xx

@MichT4 oh no I’m sorry hun! I’ve voiced my anger and frustration at the lack of health care already but this just proves it again! Let me know if you need the details of my private doctor in London. He might be of help. Sending you lots of hugs! Xxx

@HappyVibes I'm 10dpo today and AF is due Sunday according to both Glow and FF. On that basis, if I get no AF type symptoms before then, I'm going to test Saturday. If it's a negative I'm OK with that, it's my first normal cycle after my MC and which took so long and tbh, I'd just be pleased that my body has remembered how to ovulate and get through a regular cycle.
It will of course be amazing to get a BFP but I'm mentally prepped either way.
Do you have any symptoms or anything? I had some burning nipple pain yesterday afternoon but it could well be a new AF symptom.
@Northernsoul90 how are you getting on? Anything out of the ordinary that could indicate a BFP?

@chloedancer897 there's no reason it can't happen this month! How are your temps looking on Ava?

@MrsK21 my temps are all over the place. Haven't a clue what to make of them...

@RichmondLady1981 and others, I suppose I must be in the TWW now as it's coming to the end of my fertile window and we've been dtd a fair bit. I was getting into a good rhythm of OPKs in London and then moving happened, so that all went out the window and I'm not sure exactly which day I ovulated. AF is due 16th Sept so I think I'll wait till then to be honest - all of you ladies' experiences have taught me the heartache and uncertainty of early testing. Tempting as it is! 😩

Hoping you all have a good rest of the day x

Should add that this is my first cycle post-mc so remains to be seen whether cycle is normal length x

@chloedancer897 @MrsK21 @Northernsoul90

This sounds exciting with us both testing Saturday eek. How long away it feels, ha! I’m getting up and drinking water straight away to avoid my testing ha.

So I have had some twinges in my abdomen and it seems at times that it’s felt quite tight. I still have CM too. & crazy random dreams. It’s so hard though as I really am unsure if the abdomen twinges & tightness are common for me & I’m just hoping they’re signs.

That’s a good way of looking it for sure in terms of it being a healthy sign either way of BFP or cycle resuming to business. The nipple burn sounds like a very good sign! I literally never had that until PG last time and it was mad so deffo for me was a PG sign only. If I had this now I’d be so confident it was PG. how you feeling about it?

Chloe your temps seem to still be high at 8DPO. I don’t temp but I learnt the other day that if they’re higher then that is really hopeful?

Xxx

@HappyVibes I'm just getting up and having a wee straight away to avoid being able to test. doesn't help that I seem to have amassed several multi packs of pregnancy tests over the months I was waiting for my cycle to restart lol
You're so right about the symptoms, I'm not sure what is normal for me or not so I'm taking everything with a huge pinch of salt!

@chloedancer897 your temps look pretty good! The rise shows an ovulation and it's not dipped to pre O levels since. You're not out till AF arrives, keeping my fingers and toes crossed for you xxx

@susiebluebell I think most ladies have had their cycles return to a fairly normal pre mc time and length so hope that's the case for you, but better still is a BFP :D xxx

@HappyVibes @MrsK21 this is my first cycle temping so I'm not 100% sure how to interpret it. I'm sure I've ovulated but I assume if pg I'll get another dip at implantation? Honestly not holding out much hope anymore. My husband is now calling me Debbie Downer lol

@chloedancer897 I read today that something like 11% of women get an implantation dip so it's not a sign with much certainty. And at 8DPO a bean may not have even implanted yet! So you're defo not out - we need to keep the PMA till either a BFP confirms or AF moves us into the next cycle. No reason it's not possible!
I found temps quite hard to do as well but I read all the little tutorials fertility friend emailed me when I signed up and it was very helpful! X

@MrsK21 I wish I could describe my tummy twinges a little better than I have. It’s really a different kind of twinge than I (think) I’ve noticed before. But I’m tryna be level minded and not focus too much but it’s hard ha cos I’m so optimistic and hopeful. Anyway, we are off for a meal out tonight just to distract us a little. Maybe we will decide at the meal that we will test in the morning hahahahaha! We’ve been messaging all day at work about how torturous this is waiting it out haha my husband is worse than me with his excitement!

@chloedancer897 8DPO and your temps are looking good girl - keep that PMA and that optimism high. You’ve no reason that this can’t be your month.

💫

@HappyVibes @MrsK21 thanks guys. I really need to start being more positive like you both!

Are you both testing on Saturday? I'm not testing until Monday at the earliest which would be 13DPO for me. (Although don't hold me to that...I've been known to go back on my word over and over again on here!)

@chloedancer897 so right now I’m 11 DPO & itching like mad to test. The current plan is to test Saturday where I’ll be 14DPO. I have no idea really how many DPO to do it on fml. Xx
