Come on October!! Let's hope it's a successful month for us all!
Others welcome to join as well if the title applies to you too

@Yutes that is rubbish 😔 feeling quite lucky i can still see some family.

@WicketBasket also due towards the end of the week, I know what you mean with those dreaded cramps, when I get those I know I sm definitely out! Hope that is not the case for you!

@Annny27 ahh fingers crossed 🤞! I usually ov cd11-13 , I don't temp or use opks anymore though so just go by cm ! Ooks are way to stressful for me. I'm cd21... really dragging this month!

I’m glad someone knows what I mean @RobinRose! These silly cramps, they just make me feel so depressed! I’m really hoping it’s not the case for me but you know when you feel them and you just think oh no, not again
Sending you lots of love and hope AF stays away for you 💕 xxx

Hey all cycle day 8 for me due to ovulate Christmas day! Maybe a baby could be our Christmas present! Sorry to all those just started AF on the bright side at least you can enjoy some Christmas drinking! Here is hoping 2021 brings us all some luck xx

@WicketBasket aww you'll be fine my love, and if it's not, you'll have us.
@Tofu35 same here re my next FW! Well it's Boxing Day to New Years. We're popping in on the in-laws Boxing Day so can do it before or after we go!
@Motherofkittens28 good luck for Christmas Day! Yes, that's the only good thing about having AF now. Have had wine all weekend! 🥂

@RobinRose I’m in tier 2 as well!
We’re not seeing anyone over Christmas though! All the family decided it was too dodgy so we are going to all celebrate Christmas together in the summer when we can be outdoors and have a bbq! 🌞😬 tbh I’m glad we are on our own as I’d be plied with alcohol at the in-laws on Christmas Day and I’m trying to be good and limit it during the tww!
Currently Cd17, due on in 10 days roughly!

@WicketBasket sorry that you’ve got cramps! Keeping everything crossed that it’s not af! I usually get spotting and mild cramps on and off from 8dpo onwards so once that starts I know I’m out! It’s so depressing, but it does mean I can have a glass of wine without feeling bad about it! 🙂

@Tofu35 @notyetamumbuttrying ooh that’s great for both of you, perfect timing for your fw!! 👌🏻

@crazycatlady1981 yeah let's see if it's the one that does it but won't hold out much hope with the swimmer issue!!
Good luck in your tww and your chilled booze free Christmas 🎄

I use ovusense to take core body temp, and it looks like I may have ovulated on my own (after a 250 day cycle). But I’ve been prescribed norethistorone. So I don’t know whether i should hold off taking it?

Sorry. Early morning ramblings.

@Yutes I use ovusense too! Perhaps speak to your GP about it? I don’t know anything about norethistorone unfortunately, but ovulating naturally sounds like a good thing especially after 250 days!

I wouldn’t trust my gp to find a way out of a paper bag

@Yutes lol! Oh dear! Maybe just see if your temps stay up and that should confirm that you’ve ovulated and there’s no need for drugs! 🙂

Is it okay for me to join? This is our 12 month ttc no #2. (We absolutely appreciate how lucky we are to have #1). We are late 30s and so we are having a few tests. I had first progesterone level test in October and that was ‘okay but not great’ according to GP. They’ve repeated it this month and I’m waiting on results. DH has semen analysis booked for Jan. My period was due yesterday and I started spotting but then nothing. More spotting and cramping this morning so I’m figuring AF is on its way. But took a FRER this morning and got this. Chemical maybe? Or an evap? Clear blue digital says ‘not pregnant’. Anyway, hope it’s okay I join the thread. This is a stressful business isn’t it? Especially in the current situation. Thanks all.

Sorry - it doesn’t really show on the photo but there’s a super faint line. Really trying not to get my hopes up, especially with the spotting.

@ActonBell welcome! I'm really sorry I can't see anything , I'm same, had light spotting couple of days which I never have, awful nausea and really sore boobs(again not normal) but AF on the way now and test negative. Think our bodies like to trick us, so frustrating that pms is so similar to bfp! We've got first fertility apt 6th jan and OH has low sperm count, I possibly have PCOS, onto month 17 for us x

Thanks @kerrym87! Yep, we’ve had some real ups and downs over the last year with every symptom in the book and then negative tests. The line on the test is so barely there I’m not taking it seriously but it is just there. I don’t think it will show up in a pic. Probably an evap.

@ActonBell welcome, hi 🙋🏾‍♀️ I can see the faintest of faint lines! Try and again in 48 hours and see if it darkens. Best of luck! 🍀

@ActonBell at this point i can see lines on blank pieces of paper so probably not the best judge haha!

But hopefully its something for you 🤞

Cd8 and having ewcm so probs an earlier ovulation for me....its looking like Christmas day or around Christmas day so let's hope I make a Christmas miracle!

I dont temp or opk anymore either @robinrose much less stress

I’m not sure I can cope with this. I’m bleeding more - still light but it’s starting to show up on a pad now. But I took another test this afternoon and the line is much clearer. Again, it doesn’t show up in the photo very well but it’s faint but very, very clear in real life. It’s pink, not an evap. I’m having a chemical aren’t I?

@WicketBasket I have had those cramps all day today so pretty sure I'm out! 😔

I can see a very faint line on the second pic @ActonBell how many dpo are you?

@RobinRose - I got a positive opk on cd12 so ovulated cd12-14. Today is cd30 but I didn’t test positive at all in my first pregnancy until cd34. At least it gives us another part of the picture I guess. Shows it’s not impossible to conceive altogether. Still feeling really emotional though.

I feel your pain @RobinRose My cramps are also starting to ramp up and I just want to scream, it’s so frustrating! Sending you lots of love 💕 xxx

@RobinRose especially when I genuinely thought on some level that maybe this is my month as my cramps weren’t as bas as usual- I hate this and feel so stupid xxx

@ActonBell perhaps give it a day or two and test again?

@WicketBasket sending lots of love your way too ! Bless you don't feel stupid, it is so easy to get your hopes up! I think I find af's arrival soo hard because I have so many days of cramping before hand and headaches/migraines.... it just goes on forever! On the plus side my boobs aren't hurting (yet!) xx

Thanks @RobinRose! That’s exactly how I feel! It’s such a mind game isn’t it? Good news about your boobs not hurting 😂
I want to test, even though I think it will be negative. Do you think I can test now, having held wee since 11am? Or is it not worth it? Xx

@WicketBasket I think it depends how many dpo/close to AF you are as you can tea too early or if level is still low and your urine is more dilute might not pick it up. My AF still hasn't arrived but wasnt exactly sure on its arrival date so waiting a couple more days to test again. We can hope fingers crossed for you!
