Help a girl out and add anyone I’ve missed pls! 🙌🏻

Good morning ☀️

How are we all today?

@SammiStap, I’m sorry, this sucks!!! 😔
I’ve read sometimes people haven’t gotten their BFP till like 2 weeks late! Do not lose hope yet! Every body is different and it’s fascinating how someone can get a BFP at 7 DPO, while someone doesn’t get it till 2 weeks past AF! Sending you a big hug! ❤️

@Mummytobe93 how was your hen do babe? How are you feeling today? Have you tested this morning? 🤞🏻

Morning everyone. Still feel like crap so no symptom spotting for me!

@SammiStap so sorry 😩 how frustrating!! Really hoping you get your bfp soon. All the signs are there!

@sle0911 I'm not an opk expert but I think they say to take it from your last peak result, so it will have been 12-36 hours after your last peak one.

@Danani how are you doing?

Hello everyone🌞

How are you doing?

I must admit, I did have a drink and a very late night which means I’m pretty hangovered today 🥴🙈 But majority of it it’s because I’ve stayed up WAYY past my bedtime!

@Danani had a really good night, thank you! I didn’t test as we stayed in a hotel and didn’t take any tests with me … I’ll test tomorrow 😬how are you feeling ?

@SammiStap sorry to hear that hun, must be so frustrating! I remember reading on fertility friend app about late period despite testing negative and it said that you could’ve ovulated later than you think, because the luteal phase is max 16 days long. And if you’re sure you’ve ovulated more than 18 days ago and still no AF/BFP then they recommended getting in touch with your doctors as there might be other cause for this

Ahhh @Cruz86 sorry you’re feeling sucky. Hope that cold leaves you alone soon!!!

@Mummytobe93 awwww well done you, glad you had a fab time!!!

I’m doing well. 7/8 DPO today. No symptoms other than the boobs. And weirdly my BBT is almost a full degree higher than yesterday?! 🤦🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️ Haven’t tested and not planning to. AF due next weekend (unsure when exactly as all my apps are saying different 😂)

Ho @sle0911. Ovulation happens 12-36 hours after your peak, so it looks like you would ovulate around CD 16-17. I take BBT as well which always confirms ovulation for me.

Congratulations to all of the recent BFPs! Hopefully a few more to come this week.

8 DPO here and a few things going on which probably mean nothing!
Can’t stay asleep all night at the moment as I need to get up for a wee. Had nausea on and off yesterday and cramping, but my IBS always flares up in the luteal phase and so I think it’s probably just that.
Hoping I’ll see a temp dip a couple of days before AF so I won’t need to test but otherwise will test on Friday.

Thank you @Danani! Turns out I've got Covid 😩 Your bbt sounds positive though!

Glad you had a good night and enjoyed your hen do @Mummytobe93. A day on the sofa for you today 😂

@Cruz86 noooo! That's two of us now! Hope you feel better soon lovely xx

@SammiStap I'm sorry you're going through all this frustration. Do you know roughly when you ovulated?

Oh no @cruz86 I'm sorry to hear you've got Covid. It feels (to me) pretty inevitable that everyone will get it at some point. It's very scary. Hopefully you won't become any more unwell and bounce back quickly from here.

I refused to test this morning. I couldn't stand ghe thought of seeing another negative test. If I'm pregnant it should show up in the next 48 hours but I refuse to waste any more FRERs. AF due any time now . I was crying last night the breast pain was so bad. I've had to wear one of my maternity bras today just for added support 🤦‍♀️

@Missy95 you're very brave not testing! Do you think you'll test tomorrow?

@Mummytobe93 so glad you enjoyed your hen do! Fingers crossed for a special wedding gift for you both!!

Thanks ladies. Unfortunately the bleeding is heavier today so definitely having a chemical 😢💔

Sorry to hear you have covid @Cruz86 hope you feel better soon 💕

@SammiStap oh sorry to hear you are so frustrated! Hopefully you just ovulated later than you thought. TTC is a whirlwind of a ride isn't it!

@Cruz86 I wish you a speedy recovery from covid! Plenty of rest and water!

@BH1926 I'm so so sorry that your bleeding has become heavier. Big hugs to you ❤️

@Squiff70 I have some tests arriving today! But im not due AF until tomorrow. I would be best waiting but I don't know if I can 🤣 im also dreading seeing another negative! X

@Cruz86 oh no, so sorry you got covid hun! Hope that the worst is behind you and feel much better soon!!! X

@Squiff70, ahhh sorry darling! But wise not to test daily! Hope you get your BFP tomorrow! And all the discomfort is because of that, and not because of AF 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻

@BH1926 I’m so sorry for what you’re going through! Sending you a big big hug! ❤️

@Missy95 well done you for resisting the temptation to test! Hope you get good news and no sign of AF! 🍀

Periods arrived!!!!!!!!!! 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

@Cruz86 I think I’m between DPO5-7 days as I ran out of CB OPKs on the Monday and I was getting flashy smileys then. I think you are very similar to me, right?

I’m going to test on Friday, but not feeling hopeful as I think we missed ovulation by a day or two!

@SammiStap I’m so sorry AF arrived! I really feel like I’ve been on the journey with you. I really hope this is the last time she arrives and next month is THE month for you ❤️🤞🏽

Ahh @Cruz86 just seen your post! I’m so sorry you’ve got Covid! I hope you are okay and make a speedy recovery!

@SammiStap ahh sorry! At least you know now. Onto the next cycle for you which will hopefully be the one!

@SammiStap so sorry AF arrived. Fingers crossed for next month. Rest up and take care, I know it can be mentally tiring refreshing for a new month ❤️

@missy95 which tests did you order? Do you think you'll wait until tomorrow?

@Squiff70 I ordered some frers. AF due tomorrow according to flo app. But my cycle can be anywhere from 26-29 days, so I could be waiting up until Weds/Thurs. I don't know what to do! 🙊 when are you testing? Xx

I have some FRERs too. I don't plan to test tomorrow as AF could arrive any time between last Friday and this coming Wednesday. I'll probably test on Tuesday now.

Best of luck to you!!

@SammiStap, ahhh noooo! I was so hoping you'd get a sticky one! Big glass of wine tonight... and chocolate and anything else you fancy. We're all with you for the next cycle.

Argh TTC is such a head-f*. This'll teach me for being all "learn to know your body," about cervical mucus etc... apologies for any know-it-all-ness further up-thread.

Ladies, I need your help. This is my first proper cycle after a MMC, and I have now had ewcm for NINE days - I had tons of the stuff on Monday, so I assumed I ov'd Tues or Weds (cd13-14), but since then it's come and gone most days. In between it's dry or creamy. Have I even ovulated?!?

I usually have a 25-26 day cycle with a 12 day LP, for reference. They said your cycles can be a bit weird after mc and I was like, "oh totally," but clearly assumed I would be different. Oh the hubris! 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️

I’m about AF arriving girls 💔treat yourself tonight @SammiStap 🍫🍷

@Shortmamashortcycles if you’re confident your Lp is 12 days then I’d think you ovulated in day 13 or 14, as you said. You can get EWCM in patches through your cycle so I wouldn’t know when I ovulate only based on my CM to be honest. Did you get any other ovulation symptoms around those days (cramps, higher libido etc)?

Cold and hangover are not the best combo, lemme tell you! 🤧🥴

I’ve got sore left groin & my boobs are a little bit tender… My FF app is going to love it - I’ve added tens of additional symptoms to my chart in the last two weeks, looks VERY colourful 😂

Aww @BH1926, I also send big hugs darling! 💖

Thank you for all the well wishes ladies! It's certainly no fun. And to make things worse, I'm getting quite strong cramps too - only 6dpo! I just want to curl up in a ball and not wake up for a few days 😩

Really sorry to hear about your chemical @BH1926 and sorry about AF @SammiStap 😞 Thinking of you both, look after yourselves.

@jadeypies I just hope it's not the only positive I get this week! 😂

Xx
