New thread ladies! Hope this works! 😃

Good luck @climbershell

@thislittlebird oh goodness! You’ll get used to it in no time hopefully!

@02Carol I’m 8 days too until AF. Let’s how this cycle goes. We’ve dtd way too much so all that effort need not go to waste 🤣

@02Carol yes luckily we had started dtd cd 4,7,9,11 so far so may leave today and try and do cd13 & 14 it really caught me off guard! I have one sore boob which is odd, I don't usually get sore boobs at all but last month they were both like it from just after ovulation, I'm thinking all these supplements etc are doing their jobs and regulating my hormones!

@thislittlebird no I haven't sorry, maybe you're about to Ov as you have the ewcm? I still don't really have any and thought I was going to ov late as I only got my first flasher yesterday but nope! The more things I track and try the more I think do we ever really know our bodies and what's going on?! It just gets more and more confusing 🤪

@climbershell 🤞🏻 for you this month!

@Twelvestars 🤞🏻 for you too!

I feel like there's more tww than anything else each cycle - slightly unfair

@Marvellouslymadmum you’ve not had any but you are ovulating? Huh. if it’s tomorrow for me, which it could be, it would be day 19 which feels quite late but I guess it doesn’t make much difference if my LP remains about 12 days. The bodies are super confusing .

@climbershell got to day 20 so I guess it’s not unusual.

Weirdly I just checked my apps and they all expect me to ovulate today lmao. I don’t know how they know? Unless they’ve been just pushing the date back each day while I haven’t been checking them.

I’m wrong, even they disagree. But flow is on the money this month, it seems.

@thislittlebird yes no ewcm apart from a random blob on cd 5/6 when I had a big fat zero on the ov test 🤷🏼‍♀️ made no sense whatsoever! My fp was 14 days and Lp was 13 days, assuming I ovulated the day after my peak, so I'm guessing tomorrow will be ov day cd13 and then if still a 13 day Lp it'll be a slightly shorter cycle when I was expecting longer 🤦🏼‍♀️ the apps do change depending what you put in, I use 6 in total 😂 and they're usually all different every month!

Sorry to hear that @Pamparam

And @misty84 I'm really sorry to hear your news. Fingers crossed a second opinion yields better results xx

7DPO and the days are moving very slowly. How soon can you use a frer? Not that I’m planning to buy one. Resisting! I must resist early testing.

Ooh exciting...not long to go now! I've seen lots and lots of faint lines from people testing at 9dpo. Not to say it means your out if a line doesn't appear though. Many people don't get positives until they have missed their periods... How have you been feeling?

I'm 3dpo and just wish it was next week already!

@Feanorous no symptoms and feeling good. At least no real symptoms that’s probably not in my head. I’m trying to hold out till Wednesday to test if I haven’t started spotting before.

@Katiekattty don't buy any!

It was definitely me buying them yesterday which made my implantation bleeding suddenly transform into AF. I jinxed it for sure.

Don't be like me...! haha 😂

@Pamparam haha I’m going to be strong. I’ll find other distractions. I need to do house clear out anyway.

Hi all!
Seems like lots of us will be testing soon. I am at 9 dpo and starting to get a bit obsessed! Checked my heart rate there and it seems elevated...anyone else do that?!
I will be holding off on testing for a few days. Hope there is a BFP or more this month. Sorry to hear you are out @pamperon it sounded promising to me!!

@VixFromThe6ix shout if you have any questions regarding prolactin I've had high levels for about 10 years and been on Cabergoline for 8.
Mine are just mildly high, but I have a 4mm prolactinoma, had no periods, daily headaches, high T3, low estrogen - all of which should have indicated much higher levels of prolactin. But I take the tablets and all goes back to normal so we're sticking with them.
If it's any consolation, it's meant to be the cause of infertility that's the easiest to treat. Literally, after 2 years of no periods I started taking tablets, ovulated after 2 wks, then period after 4.

My body is seriously all over the shot!!
Coil out 2 and a bit weeks ago, questioning if i even ovulated (my only dark like was cd13)Altho cheap opk and first time using them and this afternoon I've started to feel nauseous and just been a tiny bit sick 🤷🏽‍♀️
I'm only cd17 so chuff knows what's happening now.. I had headache earlier and feel shattered but wasn't expecting to actually be sick!
Highly unlikely to be caught surely??
Dtd cd11 and cd13 so surely not?!? It's too early right??

@lemonade83 when are you testing? I'm 9dpo tomorrow and I've got a frer waiting!

Good luck to everyone testing 🤞🏼 hopefully lots of lovely BFP announcements just around the corner 🤞🏼🥳

Hi I’m currently 7dpo, 2nd month of ttc. Was just wondering what everyone’s symptoms have been so far? I’ve had mild cramping since about 2dpo and at 5dpo shooting pains and also pain in my left side ovary. Don’t normally get this through the month, also feel lightheaded when I stand up but haven’t noticed any changes to my cm or boobs at all! I’ve ordered frer coming tomorrow so I can take one on Monday as that is the earliest it says to take xx

Hi @Bexboo1 and welcome, to be honest I've banned myself symptom spotting these days (though it's hard not to) I've had all the symptoms here and there and some months loads and still bfn so I tend to just wait until af is late, it's too disheartening seeing those negatives month after month!

@Marvellouslymadmum thanks I'm trying hard not to! I've read so many posts where they turn out to be bfn. Just driving myself insane until it's time to test. It's the longest wait! X

@Bexboo1 I completely understand, it's very very hard and to be honest I still look for signs just try to not get my hopes up! We've been ttc for 3 years so that's a lot of disappointment lol is this your 1st?

@Marvellouslymadmum ah hopefully you will get your bfp soon! How many dpo are you? Yes it's my 1st x

The first month we tried, i was convinced i was pregnant due to symptoms...i even wonder if it was a cp, as i didnt test. But my period came a few days early. It is also possible i was completely imagining it...so hard to know!! No major symptoms at the mo...headache yesterday but could be from too many zoom calls. :-)
I am going to try hold off until 12 dpo on monday...i might have an idea by then anyway. I think i have 14 day luteal phase. Its interesting learning about it all anyway!
