@Franklydear was your period very light last month too? Our bodies are so annoying at times! I usually get 3 days of light spotting before AF but it always ends with a few days of full flow. I would be puzzled if it stayed light.

@2020mission no, for the last 3/4 months has been increasingly heavy, last month was a proper period with heavy days, lasted 4 days, this time didn’t even need a pad, at all...

Aw I'm sorry @Franklydear. It's shitty, I'm sure you had your hopes up with all the symptoms and all.

@Clairey844 so much luck to you darlin! Really hope it works out how you want x
@Juno231 feeling similar hun. Ran out of my vital dha so have had no omega 3 or zinc so maybe that means it'll work!? 🤷🏾‍♀️ lol!
@Franklydear hope you can get clarity from the docs x

Hey everyone, marking my place on the new bus even though it won't be a sept test date I don't think!
Cd51 but I did have some spotting today and wiped some of what looked like womb lining... So I'm hoping that full flow is here in the morning and I can book blood tests at the doctor 🤞🤞🤞

@LaceyMermaid oh wow you're very lucky!! Id love to have 3!

@notyetamumbuttrying I did another and it was even lower😩 I'm not sure if when I had my highest out the lot on Sunday that was supposed to be peak but because of how much I'm drinking I just couldn't get a peak? Going to keep testing these next few days and see!

@Juno321 I'm the same! Haven't touched anything other than folic acid, hopefully it'll be a good thing for us that it hasn't been on our mind and we've been more relaxed🤞🏼

Stark white BFN here and as is sods bloody law, wiping after doing the test there was red blood so looks like she waited for me to waste a test.

So CD1 here and next test date of 29/9 thanks @Juno231

On to cycle number 'I've bloody lost count but probably 16 or 17' 😬

@lucyrp yeah basically you need to have 2 out of 3 criteria for the diagnosis, blood test signifying it, irregular periods and cysts in ultrasound (though not everyone with pcos has cysts and they come and go so this one is tricky to catch). It can take years for some women to be diagnosed as gps often miss it, and every woman with pcos is different. If you want some good info check out #pcosawareness on Instagram as it's pcos awareness month and loads of of great info is being shared.

@Katao @notyetamumbuttrying I don't know how I'm feeling tbh, relaxed after the break from MN, but also fed up by it all. I'm not really expecting pregnancy anymore so I guess that helps with obsessive tracking etc, but looking forward to going to the docs. How are you both doing?

@Clairey844 I've been temping and still no ov yet, though I have a feeling it might be tomorrow, I don't know why... I'll see. How are you doing?

@Minster2012 hello! Anniversary was amazing, just the perfect day in Yorkshire. I want to move there now, so beautiful! How are you getting on?

@Franklydear so sorry about bfn lovely, I know it's hard and hypercritical of me to say but don't give up 💕

@Clairey844 ahhh so sorry for bfn, it's so shit, sending virtual hugs❤️

So the top opk was last night the bottom is this mornings, so it could be possible I might get a high today?? Going to the gym this morning so going to try and not drink half as much water as usual and going to try and wait until 12:30 to test again!

Doc as useful as a chocolate teapot, test again in two weeks (like fuck, make that next week) if negative, wait for period, if it doesn't come, test again, if negative come see me, if bleeding in between come see, it might be a one off, nothing to worry about

@Vil10 good idea, best of luck!
@Clairey844 I had that before too, sorry hun!
@Newbie0818 have you booked an appointment yet? I've had my day 21 bloods already and all normal. Would have had day 3's last week but was on hols. Praying I won't need them this month and I'll be pregnant instead! My hospital aren't doing routine appointments yet so can't get my scan booked in yet. Hubs had SA done and gets results on Thursday! I'm 1dpo today so not feeling any sort of way yet.
@Franklydear good you got ball rolling though, now just to wait it out. So much luck to you!

@notyetamumbuttrying glad you managed to DTD! Ovulation day yesterday for me too. We managed a quick afternoon go, not easy with two kids 😂. No DTD last night so I feel a bit gutted and like I don’t stand a chance this cycle. Only managed a few times 😩

@Franklydear sorry to hear your body's messing you about and the docs aren't much help. It doesnt sound like many docs have been helpful to anyone, I think they need some training on ttc and not just the physical but emotional toll it can take on people!

Sorry to hear it was a bfn @Clairey844, hope you have some chocolate or a nice shopping spree lined up make today all about you.

Hoping you get a stronger reading later @Vil10 🤞

Took my son for his covid test yesterday, 3hour round trip to the nearest centre. 3hours stuck in a car with a 2year old without being able to stop and let him run about was torture. Got a txt to say his results were unclear and we have to do it all over again today! 🤦‍♀️ The annoying thing is I'm 99% sure he just has a heavy cold but because he's coughing he's not allowed back at nursery until he has a negative result. If todays result comes back unclear again then the whole family have to isolate for 14 days, DH is self employed so thats 2weeks wages lost all for a cold. Gonna have to shove the swab so far up DS nose that it's tickling his brains to make sure there's plenty of sample for a clear result today!

Marking my spot :) now 4 days late for AF...or seeing as I'm so irregular am I even late? Lol...who knows. So ladies...i didn't test for a couple of days, it was driving me crazy and making me really anxious and stressed not seeing a definite line.
Anyways, tested this morning.... ( now I need your knowledge) I used another Frer... the last one I had... dipped it...and then when I laid it flat I noticed it had a white line where a positive would be... thought oh damn its faulty! Waited 3minutes anyway and when I looked the line had gone pink!
Its definitely pink! Is it an indent? Evap? Faulty test? Or genuine bfp? I can see the pink line in natural light with no torches this time 🤣

Of course it ment i rushed out to buy more 🙄 so now i gotta wait and re test...either tonight? Or flu tomorrow?

@Newbie0818 I'm similar, feeling more relaxed but not very hopeful. Had day 3 bloods already and waiting to do day 21 bloods so sort of focused on that more than tracking etc

@Clairey844 so sorry hun it really sucks when that happens.

@Franklydear I find the doctors are always so helpful... not! So sorry they haven’t really given you anything useful but at least you have made contact with them hun.

@Hopeful110 that sounds promising! I’d say if it has colour in the time frame it sounds positive. Keeping fingers crossed you know for definite with the next test and it’s more conclusive.

@DKDK123 oh that is rubbish hun! So sorry you have got to do it all over again!

Not much news on my front but felt ridiculously nauseous this morning for about two hours although it has eased now. Think I’m definitely going psycho with my symptoms this TWW.

That sounds like a positive @Hopeful110! Have you got a photo?

@Hopeful110 if it turned pink within the time frame I'd take that as a positive 😁 If youre 4days late it should be strong enough to test again later today just try not to pee for about 4hours beforehand. You could always try one tonight and go buy another test for the morning. Keeping everything crossed its all good news for you, its sounding like it 🤞

Thankyou! Its still quite difficult to see on camera but I've inverted a couple. Let me know if you see anything, IRL its much easier to see

I can see a pink line @Hopeful110 😁 test again tomorrow or the next day and hopefully it'll be much darker so there won't be any doubt in your mind.

@DKDK123 thankyou! I thought I was going mad. I feel like its much easier to see in real life than it was at 12 and 13 dpo. 🤞 something good is happening, trying not to get my hopes up though (its really hard though) I might hold my pee and do it tonight and see what that says x

@Hopeful110 ooo that looks promising!

I phoned Dr this morning to book blood test as cd2 and they said first was in 2 weeks 🤦🏼‍♀️ but luckily the hospital had an appt tomorrow so hopefully I'll get some answers on my hormones at least as I'm irregular. Maybe if there is something wrong I'll actually be allowed a conversation with a gp 🙄

@Hopeful110 that looks positive to me so a tentative congratulations.

@SarahTTC2020 glad you have managed to get an appointment at the hospital hun hope you get some answers soon.

Thanks all, it is what it is, a least my periods are pretty regular and I'm getting positive opks so pretty sure I'm ovulating; jus got to catch that bloody egg.

Good luck to everyone wherever you are in your cycles; will probably take a break from here and check in again closer to FW/ov
