And many more - I'll post link in the old chat!

@Tangfastic91 I'll be on the edge of my seat waiting to hear, I get more excited for other people to test! 😂 No plans for me to test, wasn't feeling anything until tonight and I'm absolutely starving so seems as if AF is on the way for me in the next few days. Just going to wait it out. X

@Tangfastic91

Good luck with the jeans *@kaylsd*! Dreading having to wear clothes than aren't elasticated again once the country has opened up a bit more 😂.. not even sure my feet will fit in shoes any more either!

I actually tried a pair of jeans on at the weekend I could get them on however there was no hell in chance I was even going to get the zip up one bit never mind button at the top! It makes me laugh the false sense of security I've had In lockdown life living in nursing Tunics pjs & joggers and now I've got to consider wearing things what actually a body shape of some form😳😳😳

[quote minthumbugs]@Tangfastic91 oh that's promising! Have you tested or are you planning on it any time soon? Hope you feel better soon. X

@kaylsd haha that's exactly what it's like. I live in quite a rural area so don't really have anywhere to go! The closest city to me is Glasgow and lockdown has been extended for another week... when will it eeennddd??! Where are you in your cycle, it's not crazy long yet is it?

I said earlier I have had no symptoms either way yet, well I have been struck by the intensely hungry monster stage of PMS which normally starts a few days before AF for me. I think just a case of waiting now and moving onto the next cycle, I'm ok with it![/quote]
I actually didn't have a clue what cycle day I was on then sweet until I've just loaded my app because it's gone into hibernation! It's saying im cycle day 13, ovulation in 4 days, can't wait to see that flying pig with unicorn sparkles when that chance will arrive for me ;) but you never know hunny anything's been possible 😂🙈🙈

Hi everyone. AHH it seems a couple of you wilo be testing in the coming days....sending baby dust!

After what looked like an almost same colour line (only showing as 0.57 on prenom though?!), the lines have been pretty faint. So strange. Wondering whether that was my peak and just wasn't picked up on the app or not quite as dark as it should be. Or whether I just simply haven't ovulated. or won't.

I'm not that much of a pro at this, but when I have used them before randomly (and last couple cycles) I've had a peak I believe around the midpoint. Based on previous cycles I would be about 3dpo about now. This is all speculation, I don't really know for sure. But the lines are lighter now and I'd have expected them to get darker not get darker then go quite light.

Sorry I'm not sure I've made too much sense there!

But just wondering if that's it for this month and maybe I'm just not going to ovulate..or whether it would still come. based on last AF I'm cd 18 now, usually have 28-9 ish cycles...so seems times getting on!

PSA: please watch this video 😂 could this be any more different from the CD1s when TTC?! If I looked like her on CD1 (or at all) I would not be complaining!!

@MammaJ21 hope it's soon for you! Or it's come early as a surprise this month 🤞🏻

@minthumbugs just seen this and laughed out loud. This is so far from me even when I'm not TTC never mind when I am....

I welcome mine with wine and chocolate.

Omg I'm howling

Whilst she's grabbing the oil and rubbing it in with her camomile tea I'm there chugging glasses of wine tipping Pringles in my mouth from the tube in my Disney onesie crying questioning if my hub does he still love me despite me being a hormonal bitch😂😂😂😂😂

Could it be a case of your body has attempted to ovulate but didn't quite fully ovulate and may start trying to ovulate again? I've had cycles before with multiple peaks / false peaks but on the times where they've been positive they've been stark positives where you could really tell the different in comparison to the other tests! X

I can't believe it 😳. Have had literally every AF symptom going, it was only the dizzy spell yesterday that made me wonder. Hope it sticks and isn't ectopic because I'm getting some pain on one side, but hopefully that goes.

Omg omg omg tries not to flap

Congratulations sweetheart I'm so happy for you!!! Let's hope this is a sticky baby and you can become one of our graduate ladies 💖✨✨✨

Congratulations @Tangfastic91 that is such a strong line too!! I have everything crossed for you that this will be your time 🥰🥰

Congratulations @Tangfastic91 that's so exciting!!!

Thanks everyone! This message board is honestly a life saver, just being able to tell someone when you can't tell family/friends etc is doing wonders for my state of mind. I wish you all the luck and success on your TTC journeys. If you don't mind I'll stick around and see how everyone gets on. Baby dust to all!

Awww wow @Tangfastic91 congratulations! I'm so happy for you. What nice news to come on to this morning! You must be delighted.

Hopefully much more good news to follow ✨

@Tangfastic91 love for you to stock around so we can see how you get on too 🥰🥰

Congratulations @Tangfastic91 - wonderful news!

Congratulations @Tangfastic91

That video is hilarious @minthumbugs xxxx

Today I'm not feeling much optimism, just got hubs SA back and may be both contributing factors to our journey from what I can gather, they've not explained the results just shit loads of numbers which is never the best! Doctor google would suggest we have male factor though as a issue..

Ahhh life can be tough sometimes xx

@kaylsd so sorry to hear it wasn't the result you were hoping for. I hope there is something that can be done .

Awww no @kaylsd, I'm so sorry! Will you get a consultation to discuss it, or is that included in tomorrow's appointment? That really sucks if it's bad news, it's another hurdle but remember it's not impossible to get through. And we are here if you need to rant about it! Xx

Oh @kaylsd what a bitch! Sounds like you will get more info at your appt tomorrow which should help identify next steps darling.

Positives are that you've found out (relatively) early in your journey and that there are things which can be done.

Let us know if we can do anything to support xxx

@Tangfastic91 congratulations!

@kaylsd I'm so sorry to hear that :-( Lets hope they are able to explain a bit better. At least the results came back quickly.

Looking like an even shorter cycle than normal on this end :-( all signs of ovulation tomorrow and I'm only on CD8 :-O. Trying not to let Dr google tell me all the bad things that come with a short follicular phase...

Gosh @Kitty0389 that is short! Have you spoken to docs about it yet? Wonder if there are any supplements aimed at lengthening the follicular phase... Guessing you will have already read about stuff like that, I have no clue! Have you been testing LH? X

@minthumbugs it's technically not 'abnormal'. 7 day follicular, 14day luteal is the shortest 'normal', but reading about it it sounds like it can still affect ability to conceive.
LH is almost positive today, so it will peak later today or tomorrow, which would put ovulation tomorrow or thursday (CD9 or CD10). I have a 13-14 day luteal, so I think it's still possible.
I'm currently trying not to messed with my cycle, as it's already stabilised from 16-29 days when I came off the pill, to 3 cycles with ovulation CD10-12 (full cycle 23-26days). Sorry that's a bit of an information dump...

@Tangfastic91 @minthumbugs @cyclogoose @Kitty0389

thank you lovely ladies I've had my moment and I've absorbed the information now thanks to dr google & other bits and bobs, so my hub has lovely amount of quantity but the quality is debated, he is just boarderline for motality at 32% when the guidance states needs to be 32% above but his morphology is 3% and you need it to be 4 and above so going into things with abit more better insight than what the result came out with a shit loads of numbers and the comment of mortality and morphology below range value which scared the life out of me thinking doomsday!

I don't know how helpful tomorrow our GP is the same GP for each other so hoping I can talk about both parties than just me but I'm hoping I can get the ball rolling to be referred in for help once and for all now all our numbers are all back in and looking like we have both male and female contributing factors they've got to take us seriously about these things but I shall let you girls know tomorrow! Once blip backwards than we wouldn't have known without all of this journey but we can tackle anything what comes against us 🤞🏻😘
