Congrats to those with BFPs on the last thread there was a lot of you 🥳

Thanks @elsimo arrrgh that's a super short cycle, have you had them of that length before?

Glad AF has stopped for you @ELMcg - on with the month 🥳

@gizmo167 it's really easy to become completely disengaged with wanting to continue to TTC. I feel that way now, may take a more relaxed approach this month and just see what happens. Need to have 'the chat' with DH

@bez91 nope never but I barely had a period last month, its much heavier this month. Thats me on my 4th period since MC at the end of November xx

@ELMcg I am glad that the bleeding stopped! It will have been worrying but it does sound likely what your friend said.
CD9 now! I think I will start the CB digital tomorrow on CD10. I have liked having a break from the tracking but ready to go again 😁

@bez91 how are you feeling today? What CD are you on now?

@NatJ24 I'm thinking of starting CB on Friday so CD11 just since I ran out last time and it does look like I ovulated later than I expected!

I'm the same, I think I'm finding this worse than the TWW, just want to get cracking 😂. I'm so motivated to make this my month so going to put all my energy in to it!

@elsimo it's really strange isn't it with different lengths and what not of periods. I had really heavy spotting 4dpo-7dpo and thought it may have be IB but my body was obviously just being a f*ckboy!

@ELMcg I'm good thank you, been having a wobble with the whole TTC thing but think I'm in a better place today, CD30 for me, AF due Friday. I know what you mean about wanting to get on with it, it's like being in purgatory waiting isn't it!

I've jumped on the CB bandwagon. Wasn't sure about it but it will be worth it if it works! I'm on CD17 and still nothing. Only started using it a few days ago and before that had the whitest of white cheapies. My cycles are long but I'm hoping I at least get a flashing smiley soon. I feel like I'm in limbo!!

@minthumbugs I started using them for the first time this cycles and actually got a peak which was a first for me!

Oh really @Marvellouslymadmum that's great! What CD did you get your peak? How are you getting on, what CD are you on now?

@minthumbugs got my peak cd 13 I'm on cd16 now but due to oh being in pain we only dtd cd 4,6,9,10,12 so I don't know if we missed our window - probably! Got my day 21 blood tests booked for next week though and then results so hoping that will keep me distracted, I'm usually good at not testing unless af is late but don't know if I'll be as good this month lol

@Marvellouslymadmum ahh you never know, that day 12 might have caught the egg! It only takes one time (so they say). Hoping I get a peak, first cycle and just wanting to get on with it, hating the uncertainty.

That's great, how long will your results take? All my BFPs I've tested super late so I will need to try and remind myself that. X

@minthumbugs I'm not that hopeful is it was afternoon dtd and we know he probably has issues with his swimmers due to what he was told years ago.

It shouldn't be that long for the results, last time I had a blood test on the Tuesday and the doc called on Friday so 🤞🏻 yes I'm the same def no early testing for me x

Bizarre question but have any of you had any effects from taking pregnacare? I kept on taking them just in case we did keep trying & I've noticed stomach cramps, only thing that has been different!

@gizmo167 I've not noticed any symptoms apart from bright wee in the morning 😂 prob due to the vit c in them

Thanks @marvellouslymadmum I may just go back to the folic acid with vitamin d & see if I notice any change!

Hi everyone, I’m on 7dpo and just had some dark yellow cm. it’s possibly my AF as I can sometimes spot early on before AF. Has anyone else had dark cm around this time and had a good result? Don’t know why but I’m feeling really deflated about ttc this week! Feel really down about it 😢

Aww @Florence15 hope you're ok. I'm feeling the same way, bit teary! I've had implantation bleeding that was like that before. Hope it's a good result for you. X

@Mysleepingangel sounds more like ovulation bleeding and cramping as it would be slightly too early for implication? That usually happens 8-10 DPO and ovulation usually happens 12-36 hours following a peak on OPKs. Either way, it's a good sign that you DTD at the right time!

Hi girls, how are you all ? Any BFPs? I defo hope so for u all . Looking fo opinions please im 6 days late nauseous sore breasts and tired . I feel so emotional too. I've done a cheapie to day and there is a faint line , I expected it to be deeper this late ive used yhat negative image app thing to try to show u all , what do u think ?

@Jaym78 I can see a line yes. Looks promising definitely. Test again with a different brand in the morning 🤞 keeping fingers crossed for you. I’m currently 9dpo. Had very slight brown cm the last 3 days and feel like I’m getting thrush. Had a bpn this morning so I’m not very hopeful as no other symptoms 🤷‍♀️. Still think my hormones are off too be honest. Hopeful for you. Let us know how u get on 😊

Hey @Florence15 thanks for replying , I will do just that . And 9dpo is still early chuck, still time. Fingers are crossed for you , your not out till your out xx

@Jaym78 thanks hun . I hate symptom spotting and thinking I am then I’m not then I am again. Driving me bonkers!! Been so emosh this week and had a cry on OH last night saying I just wanna give up. It’s so hard TTC when you want it so much. Good luck hun xx

@Florence15 aww it really is hard isn't it, I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you please keep us updated i hope you gdt a BFP soon xxxx

Just checking in x CD22 for me, AF last time after mc arrived cd34 so another week to 10 days, no idea if I ov'd but it wont matter either way, took a year last time after the first mc so I've only a few months then I'm stopping ttc x

@gizmo167 I'm cd20 today, just because it was like that from first mc doesn't mean it will be the same again, try to stay positive and don't give up hope

@gizmo167 keep your chin up you never know what could happen this cycle! 🤞

CD13 for me, started my CB OPKs on CD11 this month so hope I don't run out of sticks and get my peak this month!

I have a question though for people who have used CB. I got a flashing smiley CD10 last month (I started them on CD7 as it was my first proper cycle after MC so didn't know my days) but this time I'm at CD13 and no flashing smiley yet. Should I read in to that at all? Or is it just that I started later it might take a few days to detect the rise?
