New thread as the other one is about to go!! Defo forgotten a few peeps! Please add ladies!

Morning how is everyone feeling today

@Aims1991 exhausted, painful boobs, little bit of nausea how about you?

@hoola23 boobs agony, no nausea today(yet) don't have cramp or bloating which I know can be normal but makes me anxious

Good morning everyone, congratulations to everyone with a bfp. I had some light spotting when I wiped on Thursday at 11dpo so got excited and thought it could be implantation but tested today (1 day late for af) so I think I'm out

Forgot to say, bfn this morning

Morning all! AF technically due today so I keep running to the loo to check, thankfully still not here. I'm going to test probably Wednesday to see if the line is any darker from Friday's test, then I'll leave it until I'm a week late to do a digital 🙂 think that'll put my mind at ease.

Not symptoms here other than the usual cramping I would get with AF, like just a heavy feeling really.

@Lilmisscatelin sorry to hear about your BFN. But think about it this way - at least you can have fun at Christmas 🙂🙂🎅🏻🎅🏻 xx

Is it Normal to get zero sleep? I keep waking just before 5 every morning 😭

@Lilmisscatelin oh sorry hun, it's so upsetting when you think this could be it only to see a BFN! But like @CShandy01 at least you can have a merry Xmas! You could have a BFP for New Year's Day though! ❤️

@hoola23 @CShandy01 thank you both, on to the next cycle once af shows up!

@Lilmisscatelin new cycle, new start! Roughly what date do you ovulate? X

@hoola23 according to my flo app I ovulated on 21st November and I had what I though was implantation bleed at 11dpo but now just BFNs and no sign of af

@Lilmisscatelin the apps are notorious for being unpredictable hun. Do you use OPK's or check CM or do you temperature? I've always found personally that CM is the best for me (if I don't use OPK's) xx

@hoola23 @Aims1991 how are we doing? I'm wondering whether to use my last test to see how the line has progressed........

Saving the weeks predictor one for if I get to a week late xx

@CShandy01 doing ok. Been crampy and bloating last few days and not today so I instantly panicked. I done a digital yesterday and it's now at 2-3 so I'm happy with that. I still have loads of CM (tmi) but I'm guessing all this is normal and good. My frer I done last week was so strong I don't think I will get a better one

So I caved and did my last blue dye test 😂😂 hoping this little bean sticks!! 🤞🏻🤞🏻hoping this is good line progression too xx

@CShandy01 I love how on one your message you were contemplating testing again and an hour is so late you've done it 🤣🤣🤣 I'm exactly the same!! Very good progression on that line! Don't think it can get any darker can it?!

I'm feeling ok, just tired and boobs are super sore!

@Lilmisscatelin do you use any ovulation tests? My app was wrong pretty much every month but Flo was the most accurate. I'd defo recommend using the clear blue ovulation sticks and DTD every other day from the first day after you finish your AF. For me, both times I've conceived is when I started on cd6. When is your AF due? X

@Lilmisscatelin I defo agree with @hoola23 start around cd6 DTD every other day. Flo app isn't right for me. I have 27 day cycles and ovulate around 15/16.

@CShandy01 amazing 💖

@CShandy01 congratulations!
@hoola23 @Aims1991 good point, I really need to start using the ovulation sticks this could be where I'm going wrong

@Lilmisscatelin defo! My ovulation date changed from CD11 to cd15 some months! Also look for ewcm as that's a very good indicator it's time to start the baby making. It's best to DTD the days before ovulation. Usually once you've ovulated, chances are slim of catching it

@Lilmisscatelin exactly what @hoola23 has said 🙂 the ovulation tests are brilliant in telling you when you're building up to ovulation and then when ovulation will likely occur in the next 12-48 hours. That way you can time when the best days are to DTD and can make sure you're not missing the right time, as realistically, once ovulation has happened you've only got 24 hours until the egg dies. I didn't realise how much DTD before ovulation was important until this whole TTC journey!!

For the first time ever this month I used the clear blue digital advanced ones (purple ones) which are expensive but they look for 2 hormones (oestrogen and LH). I got these just because I wanted to see what my cycle was like after my chemical. Would deffo recommend it as it made my realise that my LH is so quick I was probably missing it before!! Xx

Morning how is everyone today??

All good here thanks chick. How are you doing? Xx

@CShandy01 yeah I'm ok nearly at 5 weeks, everyday when I don't feel cramps or anything I panic, but I just need to deal with it.
