@Sophiederuges thanks so much for helping with this. I had positive OPK on CD24 and began (I think) AF on CD31. (Usually have a 39-40 day cycle).

Really appreciate your help xx

Oooo @Lollipop25 that's a wonderful big BFP!! Congratulations my lovely, so pleased for you!

@Capricorn8990 that’s a v good sign, I found out I was pregnant first time because of a strong second line on an opk!

Congrats @Lollipop25 such lovely news 🤗

@Sophiederuges I lost all symptoms after finding out about first pregnancy and all was fine, keeping everything crossed for you x

Thank you ladies 🤗 it's early days yet🙈 took a digital this afternoon, it's not FMU so not sure about the conception indicator but it's positive.

Aww fantastic news @Lollipop25 💕 congratulations x

@Lollipop25 brilliant news!! Congratulations!!

You’re well stocked now! 🤣 I can’t help myself either!! @Willow1982 xx

@Lollipop25 that's amazing news!! So pleased for you ❤️❤️

@Sunshine8888 I took a FRER this morning and it was negative 😞 I've been feeling so under the weather with a sore throat and temperature. Felt a bit sick too but think it's nerves and stress xx

Evening everyone 👋🏻 AF arrived 4 days ago ! Well I'm
Not sure if it is AF as it's been so light ! And my second cycle was only 25 days long which isn't normal! I did a test anyway was negative! But I'm thinking could it be implantation bleeding?!
I have no idea ! But if it is I'm worried I have been out drinking with meals with family again (since we can) last few weeks ! Xx wonder if I should retest in a few days ? Also has anyone been drinking moderately whilst TTC ?? Xxx

@CocoLady Hiya! How long did the bleeding last? I wouldn't not have a couple of drinks, otherwise TTC will change/ consume your life. My birth mum was an alcoholic and I was fine 😅😅xx

Hi @CocoLady yes I carry on drinking throughout, did that first time round and all fine. You can’t put your life on hold - it’s enough pressure ttc as it is. I’m something like 9DPO now and still having drinks when I feel like it. Obviously I would stop if I tested positive but the baby doesn’t take from the placenta until 6 weeks plus

@Capricorn8990 oh how confusing! With my first though I tested negative at 10DPO and then positive 6 days later. You just never know x

Hi @CocoLady as others have said, I agree, you can't put your life on hold. I did that month 1 and honestly that tww was awful! How long are your cycles usually? And how many dpo would you be if not af?

@Sunshine8888 that still gives me hope! I'll wait til AF which I'm meant to get on 1st June! Xx

Haha @Fiep, love it! I'm only a little ahead at 7dpo, hope your tww goes quickly :)

Thanks all ! And @Capricorn8990 so sad to hear your mum was it runs in my family! But so glad u ok !
I was out most nights before I found out 4 weeks I was pg with dd1!
I'm just a worrier 🙃 so my bleeding was so light and very dark brown not like a normal period at all and it lasted 3 days if that ! According to my app I'm 14 DPO
So I very much doubt I'm pregnant as I did a test yesterday (don't think blood in urine affects them do they ?)

I had a miscarriage in January and bled for 3 months so not sure if my body still getting used to cycles again ! Oh and I am enjoying my wine 🍷 this weekend ! 😋
How's everyone doin this evening? Xx

AF is here for me on CD38 so I'm out - will be jumping on the June bus when it comes around ☺️ good luck everyone still waiting 🤞🏼

@CocoLady that's okay! I'm adopted so I've had a fab life. That could be implantation bleeding from what I've heard it's like. Did it fill up a pad? I'm so sorry to hear about your MC. I was reading on here some people didn't get a BFP until their period was due or even after. Just depends on the levels of HCG. Don't not enjoy yourself just cos you think you could be pregnant though - we still have to enjoy ourselves. I just dropped my partner to the pub so I've got the house to myself woo!! Xx

Hi everyone! Congratulations @Lollipop25 that's a lovely BFP.

Took a break for a week or so to try and focus on other things while I'm in first half of cycle. Now CD10 and this month I'm trying grapefruit juice, and have got the clearblue OPKs that sync to my phone rather than the out of date cheapies I used last month.

Congratulations @Lollipop25!!

Hi all!

Huge congrats to all those ladies who have had their BFPs this month

I jumped on the May bus really late I know! We just moved house two days ago so things have been crazy.

Ladies who temp, I’m looking for opinions on my chart for this month so far - pic shows my last four cycles on top, orange is current, and on bottom my average cycle (blue) compared to my current (red)...the dip is yesterday, 8dpo...could it be an implantation dip? I don’t want to get my hopes up but it’s so different to my normal cycle, and I had some twinges yesterday that made me say ‘ow’ right in my uterine area...could the stress of moving have affected my temps? Or could this be it?!

TD x

Welcome back @TigerDaisy how are you? No advice re. the temping sorry, still not got around to trying that but that all seems promising! Any other symptoms for you this month? I'm 8dpo too and not much going on haha, who knows 🤷‍♀️

Hi @WantStickyBean ooh is that the clear blue monitor that links with your phone? I just use their advanced sticks but may invest in that a little further down the line

Anyone near to testing stage? How are you doing @Sophiederuges? Have you done anymore tests?

@JLL1990 The timings work! Do you usually have spotting? If you have spotting every cycle, then it’s much more likely to be hormonal!
