@gracie2307 I'm 13 down but ov on cd 12. Sometimes when that happens af shows up after 14dpo or sometimes she's a couple of days later so although my app says she's due tomorrow, I'm thinking more Wednesday. Definitely think she's on her way though, I just have a gut feeling.

*13 dpo

@gracie2307 I had a longer cycle than normal for me last month and I found it so hard, it felt like forever so I know how your feeling. I hate the vitamins im taking but persevering with them for a few more months before I give up completely.

Thank you my first was a surprise so I had no idea about my cycle or my fertile window. It's all so new haha.

Are you testing tomorrow @Dogmum13 or waiting till Wednesday? Fingers crossed you aren't out yet 🙏 🙂 Ugh, yes it is long. Had a bit of a cry this morning for no reason 😕 bloody hormones. Just want to know so if AF is on the horizon I can succumb to a cheese and gin binge xx

@gracie2307 yeah I will but not holding out any hope. I don't want to sound negative but I just know deep down this isn't my month. I hope you don't have to wait too long for af or bfp

@gracie2307
Il sit tight and wait!
Not doing anymore tests, if I dont get AF this week then i think thats reasurring in its self , iv read the test results can fluctuate slightly and i did drink a lot of fluid before bed last night , its such early days , only 4+3 ; il try put it to the back of my mind xx

So I am currently 3 days late. Took a standard f.r test and the faintest of lines appeared within the time frame, my other half could see it also. However, I still can't help but feel like it is just an evap line so don't want to get too excited 😔

@MgW1 if it's positive, it's positive! Don't even think about it getting lighter. You'll drive yourself nuts and It probably won't do that even if it's not a successful pregnancy. I still tested positive 2 weeks after my d&c and then suddenly it was negative. No fading at all really. Personally, once I have a bold line, that's it. I'm in until I'm not if you know what I mean. I remember having a convo with a friend last pregnancy. She had tested 8/9 times (all positive) and I'd just done it once. I couldn't understand why she still tested. I know last month you got a positive, then AF but that's SUPER unlikely happen again this time. PMA!!! You got this 💪 You are pregnant and you are going to have a beautiful bouncing bubba in 9 months! Keep the faith 😘xxx

@Katiecorn a line is a line!!! Don another test and put your mind at rest. And congratulations!! 🥳🙌 🎉 x

@gracie2307 hey! I’m ok thanks 5dpo today, not much going on yet! Stuck to SMEP all but for the very last time after ovulation, literally had no more energy left! This is my 2nd month SMEP. How are you? How many dpo are you? X

@BubsNumber2inTheMaking thank you, currently out of tests and weather is too awful to go out for more. Might order some online then I have a couple days grace before testing again hopefully give it time to get stronger lol 😊

@BubsNumber2inTheMaking
I got a bold line for the first day of missed Af with a standard first response. Just got 2 tests in the box so tried today and pissed off with myself for doing so!! I think test from otherday is darker anyway cos its dried. Why do we do this to ourselves 🤣 i feel like i need a drink and i cant even do that!! Il have to settle on retail therapy. Got 2 days off tomoz and monday so im going to try and rest and do some wrapping. Thrown all tests out , not getting any more xx

Ahh hope you are keeping sane in the 2ww @SRyellow I am ok thank you not too far off you im 7dpo did SMEP first time this month fingers crossed it has some impact! Xx

😂😂😂 I know what you mean. We're our own worst enemies! I tested today at 9dpo. It's bfn which doesn't tell me anything really as I know it's likely too early! 🤦🏼‍♀️🙄
Retail therapy sounds like an excellent plan! And get yourself some delicious naughty food whilst you're at it! If you can't booze, you've just gotta make up for it with cake or a Maccy D's 🤣 All will be good xx

I hope you don’t mind me jumping on this ladies! I am driving myself crazy. CD 34 AF is 3 days late, I’ve taken a couple of tests and think I can see a VERY faint line but I don’t know 😭 I’m not having my usual PMS signs of very tender boobs but have had cramping on and off for the last week, any advice?! This test is from this morning

@Tara1711 I see a faint line! Maybe give it 2 days (as hard as that is!) and test again

@gracie2307 fingers crossed it does have an impact! Have you noticed any symptoms? X

@SRyellow thank you! I’m not good at this waiting game, far too impatient 🤣

@Tara1711 I am also 3days late and got the faintest line this morning. Give it a couple days and test again can see something there though fingers crossed for you. X

Isn’t the waiting so hard?! @Katiecorn fingers crossed for you too! How long have you been ttc?

@Tara1711 massively, it's the anxiety that gets me everytime. I had my coil removed start of July so 6 month ish so far, how long have you been trying? X

Has anyone else been ttc for 12 months or more?

So this month we planned not to 'try' very hard. No SMEP, no going overboard on dtd, no cutting out booze although I still didn't go crazy. I still took my temps and did do 3 opks around the days I thought I'd ovulate. I got 1peak which was probably more like a 'high' than a peak on opk guideline.
Anyway, had distinct ovulation pain that I hadn't really noticed previously.
In the 2ww I was out shopping and noticed some cramping which was odd for 7dpo (too early for AF), then my temp had a really obvious second dip at 8dpo which I'd never seen in previous months as always had stopped temping by 1-2dpo as didn't see the point. So I googled to see what it meant and came across stuff about an implantation dip. Anyway, despite my best efforts, I got a bit excited and tested on a cheapie at 9dpo. BFN. But figured likely too early. My previous pregnancy picked up a line on FRER at 10dpo, so I've just done one of those....and there's a line! 🤗 Very early, and did have a large glass of wine yesterday as told myself we weren't trying this month, so anything can still happen, but a line is a great first step! And I've found out before 3 boozy Christmas parties this week so at least now I know to abstain! I've included my temp chart in case anyone is interested. If this pregnancy doesn't work out, I'll be sure to temp again in future and see if I get this little dip again heart 💜
Ps. Just an end note to say my cheapie 'one step' hcg test hasn't picked up a line today. Going to wait a couple of days and try one of those again, just as an indicator that hcg is (hopefully!) increasing. Period is due Friday x

*5opks that should have said 🤦🏼‍♀️

@BubsNumber2inTheMaking congratulations! Thats fab news wishing you all the best xx
