The July 2021 bus has arrived 1 day and 1 night early but you don't need a FRER to detect it! Just hop on. Grin

Let's hope for lots of positive vibes & lines and if the lines stay away, you'll at least find 24/7 shoulders to cry on! Glitterball Brew

No tickets required, just bring some pee in a cup and you're in! Wink

Hope I've tagged all the passengers but if you're not tagged - hop on anyway!

@TtcNumb3r I have tried temping but it stresses me out so I didn't bother haha. Ahhh yes!! Exciting! Fingers crossed 🤞🏼 xx

@Cheekymonkey3112 ahhh yes it's definitely getting darker!! Xx

LeeTTCRainbow · 21/07/2021 09:08

@Purplewotsit congratulations xx

Anxiousnewbie · 21/07/2021 09:39

Lovely to see all the BFPs, huge congratulations to you all! To those still on the bus sending you lots of luck and positivity!

Just wanted your thoughts/advice. So according to an IC my peak was on the 7th July (CD 14) so BDed accordingly! My BBT didn't correspond but ignored that. Then I started to get EWCM on 17th July and my BBT suddenly dropped and started rising and I'm worried I might have missed my actual fertile window as we haven't been BDing as regularly and I wasn't really tracking LH anymore as we are on holiday. Looking back on my original peak on my IC the control line looks quite faint, so maybe it wasn't actually my peak? Worried I've missed my chances for this cycle, which is the first after having a MC last month 😞

@Cheekymonkey3112 Looks like a definite positive to me! Line is definitely getting darker too. Massive congratulations!! Flowers

I took a FRER yesterday and got a BFN. AF isn't due until Sunday so I know it was early but still feeling very deflated. I'm going to try and hold off testing again this cycle until at least this weekend because I think having a small amount of hope is better than seeing a glaring BFN.

Made the mistake this cycle of telling DH when I thought O was. Think it must have put him under too much pressure and he wasn't able to finish, very unlike him.

We had DTD lots in the days leading up so was still feeling hopeful but maybe this cycle just wasn't meant to be. DH is desperate for a baby too so always feel like I'm letting him down a bit when AF comes. I had a bereavement last week too so it's overall been a bit of a rubbish couple of weeks. Hopefully next cycle will be better.

Hope everyone else is doing well. So nice to see lovely BFPs on here, it gives me hope!

Anotherboy · 21/07/2021 09:56

All BFN this morning, I think the ic are dodgy. Lots of false positives on amazon reviews unfortunately

Twinkles18 · 21/07/2021 09:59

@Cheekymonkey3112 yes I think it's definitely getting darker 😍 I have everything crossed for you!

@heymacaroner I know the feeling I was always the same trying to hold out until missed AF but don't worry if you've had a bfn, my friend was about 6 days late and kept getting a bfn until a few days later..nows she's 24 weeks preg! Good to have hope 🥰
Sorry to hear about your bereavement 🤍

mummytoolive · 21/07/2021 10:45

Congrats to all the BFPs coming through 🎉

What day would everyone count ovulation day.. I had EWCM CD13 solid smiley CD14/15 then empty circle CD16

mummytoolive · 21/07/2021 10:46

@Cheekymonkey3112 there is some progression there 🤞🏽❤️

Capricorn8990 · 21/07/2021 10:52

@mummytoolive I would say cycle day 15 xx

mummytoolive · 21/07/2021 10:58

@Capricorn8990 Thankyou!

I was going by CD15 but then for the last two days I've had cramps and tender boobs which would probably be too early as I'm now CD21 🤷🏾‍♀️

PickleAF · 21/07/2021 11:19

I think I need a slight sanity check - I am 99% sure I can see a super faint line (not sure if I'm 12 or 13dpo now different apps are telling me different things). I've never ever seen a line on any stick - I got a negative on a CB digital yesterday too. Is this just wishful thinking? Ive panic bought some more tests to arrive tomorrow Confused

Countingchicks · 21/07/2021 11:30

@PickleAF I can see that without even opening the photo! Fingers crossed for the tests you've ordered

purpleskyssssss · 21/07/2021 11:34

Hey all

Joining again onto this thread was previously on the March one etc, but had a 'relaxed' month this month so tried to take a step back from MN and everything else ttc although have been watching...

Congrats on all the BFP 😃 lovely to see

I've had a relaxed approach this month and although it was very good at the time, last week I decided to count what CD I was and since then full OTT mode has commenced, properly more then usual as I'm CD 31 so a typical month I am 2 days 'late' but getting BFN - but I don't know when I ovulated so it's making the waiting 10x more intense

heymacaroner · 21/07/2021 11:37

Thank you @Twinkles18 , love to hear those kind of stories!

@PickleAF I can see a faint line, definitely test again tomorrow. Crossing fingers for you

Carolinesturn · 21/07/2021 11:41

Good luck with the next test @purpleskyssssss it can take a while to show even after a late period!

Well done everyone on your BFP!! hopefully one day soon I'll be able to write those letters in relation to me!

I'm dpo7 but already getting slight uterus pains, surely too early for implantation but I'd be devastated if AF turned up as that would mean a luteal phase too short for a viable baby!

This is my second cycle post pill, I'm not temping but I got two smiley faces on cd12 and 13 las cycle I started slightl brown spotting on day dpo10 with full on AF on dpo14

PickleAF · 21/07/2021 11:45

@Countingchicks ah I'm so glad it's not just me!
@heymacaroner Thankyou!!

I am keeping all fingers crossed but trying not to get too excited. Almost two years into the TTC journey and can't help getting ahead of myself!

Cheekymonkey3112 · 21/07/2021 12:30

@Capricorn8990 thanjs hun, how are you 💕

@heymacaroner yeh wait till the weekend and test again, some people don't get a BFP until AF is due. I never told DH when I was ovulating as he thought it was more forced 🤷‍♀️ If he asked I'd tell him the week before or after.

@twinkles18 thanks hun, I'm praying with everything I have 💕

@mummytoolive thanks Mrs. Yeh I'd go with Cd15 too xxx

@pickleAF yes!!! I see it 💕 I got a not pregnant on a digital test and my frer looked like yours.

@purpleskyssssss I have my fingers crossed for you that it is good news on a test tomorrow🤞

I ordered 4 more FRERs and 2 CB weeks indicators which I won't use until I think I should get 2-3 and then hopefully 3+ 🤞

Cheekymonkey3112 · 21/07/2021 12:32

@carolinesturn hey hun, uterus cramping at 7dpo was one of my first signs. I felt although I was getting a urine infection. I'll keep my FX for you 💕

Carolinesturn · 21/07/2021 12:38

Thanks @Cheekymonkey3112 and congratulations! I'll keep some hope tucked away

RosettaTheGardenFairy · 21/07/2021 13:36

@Anotherboy - I'm really sorry you got a BFN after such promising lines. I haven't heard of the problem with false positives, but thanks for the heads up! I hope you're still in with a shot this month on a more reliable test.

WantStickyBean · 21/07/2021 13:49

@Anxiousnewbie that's not a straightforward chart to read, I see why you're confused. How long/regular are your cycles normally?

I think your temps show that you probably didn't ovulate on CD14, there's not a consistent enough temp rise afterwards. But on the other hand, there is another oestrogen surge at about 8DPO which could cause the EWCM and one-day dip that you're seeing. Unfortunately all you can really do is wait and see if you get a BFP or AF shows up, as hard as that is.

Anotherboy · 21/07/2021 14:12

Thanks @RosettaTheGardenFairy it's confusing and dissapointing! I'm a total poas addict so no doubt I'll keep testing for a while lol. Definitely seeing progression there @Cheekymonkey3112 !!

Laureatus · 21/07/2021 16:17

I haven't fully caught up with the thread, but @PickleAF I can definitely see that. There's some good baby dust on this thread!

Crazy symptom-spotter update: Flo says I'm only 6dpo today, but I swear I felt little tugging pains like implantation yesterday, and I just had the same sensation. I felt both ovulation and implantation with my first but didn't believe it at the time. I've felt this on my other side, so I'm hopeful if I was making it up it would have been on same side as last time?! It's only our first cycle this time but I went off the pill in February. Can't poas till next week though! Last time I waited till AF was late but not sure I can wait after this feeling...

Laureatus · 21/07/2021 16:19

@Carolinesturn you can feel implantation from 6dpo onwards and I definitely felt it last time. I just posted about how I think I felt similar but I don't want to get too excited yet - have to wait still to poas!

Capricorn8990 · 21/07/2021 16:28

@Cheekymonkey3112 I am okay! Dying in this heat though. I'll be 7DPO tomorrow and today I had some twinges and felt like I hate a UTI. I am going to test Saturday as I will be 9DPO and I have a hen do so don't want to drink if I am...! Xx
