@MrsCristiano oh thats weird, yep came up within a minute..

@Chocolat fingers crossed then 🤞even if you do one tomorrow if should have darkened a fair bit xx

@MrsCristiano thank you, guess time will tell, but definitely no drinking now tomorrow at the hen party! X

@Chocolat oh that's looking promising isn't it. Fingers crossed for you!

@MrsCristiano glad you're starting to feel better now!

AF for me very nearly gone, feel like it's gone on forever but today was just the last little spots I think. Gonna try OPK for the first time ever to make sure I am ovulating when I think I am.
I had lower back ache for a bit today and bad bloating tonight which was very uncomfortable, and a headache. cycles are all over the place so could mean anything or nothing to be honest!

@MamaSJ15 I have lower back ache too. Honestly your AF is exactly like mine! Thought it was over but low and behold a few more spots 🙄

@MamaSJ15 which OPKs are you using?

@2021lady what age is your little one?

Is this a line or evap?!

@Chocolat line. Tentative congratulations 🥳

@MrsCristiano it's so annoying isn't it. Just when you think it's finished it's not!
I've just bought a couple of packs of boots own as I was there but most people have suggested the Amazon ones so I'll probably order some of those soon.

@Chocolat I'd say a line!! 🥳 So exciting!!

@MamaSJ15 the Amazon ones are easier I think..get a more obvious peak. Yep! Hateful AF only a spot or two but it's annoying

@Chocolat that looks like a line, congrats lovely!! 🥰

Hey ladies! How is everyone doing? Had to disappear off while I was on my period because It just always makes me grumpy and fed up 🤣 but CD9 now and about to hopefully enter my fertile week!
I'm trying to be a bit more "it will happen when it happens, don't get all caught up in it" but we'll see how long I keep it up haha

@Tropicana1 good to hear from you! CD8 for me not an inch of spotting and I can feel the fertile CM starting. Whether I DTD or not is anyones guess. I was reading someone's miscarriage story last night and it took me right back to May so the fear is real.

@Chocolat how was the hen party alcohol free? Xx

It was good thanks! More fun that I expected but it was definitely obvious why I wasn’t drinking considering I have been partying/drinking with the bride for years 😂 I just said I’m not sure which is the honest truth.
Still having some brown/pink spotting and AF would be due tomorrow so pretty anxious that this might be a chemical… will test when I’m back tonight and then tomorrow.

@Chocolat keep us updated!! Fx for you 😘 I could not do a hen party sober or pregnant and my friends would 100% suss me out too 😂

Thank you will do, to be honest I’m half glad to at least know know that I ovulate and DHs sperm can swim 😂
good luck if you do plan to try this cycle too xx

@MrsCristiano ah totally get why you have the fear! What does your DH think? Is he keen to try again now or does he want to wait a bit? Love the name btw 😂 we're pretty synched up this cycle then I'm cd9 - no idea when I'm expecting ovulation given the last 2 months were cd 13 and cd 19. Half tempted to just "go with the flow" and do less tracking (look at me all zen and relaxed 🤣)

@Chocolat fingers crossed for a nice strong positive ☺️

@Tropicana1 I know this sounds really odd but I think DH coming with me to all the scans and being so involved this time (the miscarriage last year he was kept out due to covid) he seems much more up for it. Even though it ended miserably. I wanted him to feel connected and I think it absolutely worked. He took pictures of the collapsed sac and googled images of it. It's just me holding back now.

I have short cycles usually ovulate around CD12 but whether covid will have messed up the cycle who knows 🤷‍♀️. I'm literally just DTD when I want to now (or should I say we😂) no OPK tracking this month. I'm so happy that AF and spotting has FINALLY stopped! Even after DTD nothing so yay 😊😊

Will you be zen? Or will you OPK ?

@MrsCristiano i am definitely not zen enough to not opk 😂 have started them this morning, but I think I'm not going to bbt this month maybe and just see how that goes

So glad the spotting has ended though! And DTD when you want to is definitely the better / more enjoyable way to go about it 🤣

Hey ladies, how is everyone doing? 😊

@alwaysseeingstars still refusing to do OPKs! I feel like a changed woman😅

Did your cheapie OPKs get darker? DTD twice on Sunday I think covid made him miss me

@alwaysseeingstars evening 😊 not doing too bad thanks, how about you?
On CD12 I think today, did my first OPK today, negative, still trying to work these out haha. DTD yesterday and hoping over the next few days another couple of times as I usually ovulate around CD14ish. Just want to use OPK for this cycle to confirm I ovulate. I usually get symptoms anyway so shouldn't be too hard to figure out!

@MamaSJ15 DTD twice on Sunday..I think he missed me when I was isolating 😂 CD8 then so doesn't count..not even in fertile window 🙄

Not long for you though.. good luck ❤️

@MrsCristiano wow that's impressive haha. How are you after having covid? Ahh that's a shame 😂 but still, it's a bit of fun!
Thank you 😊 feel like we may have a slightly better chance this cycle 🤞 how far into the cycle do you usually ovulate?
