I don’t know what I’m doing with the emojis this month. Got the star signs in there though!

Cycle 10 for me 😀

Best of luck to everyone!

@NSx I completely understand xx

I just did a negative test this morning and am expecting AF v soon so I think I’m out. Getting all the regular AF symptoms and whilst I didn’t track last month, I think due to my husband getting injured that we weren’t DTD around when I ovulated (tho according to the app we would have timed it perfect, I just know from TTC before the apps arent very reliable for me as I have long cycles).

I don’t β€˜feel’ pregnant, I just have a gut feeling that I’m not. Which means AF on holiday, joys of womanhood ey!

NSx · 16/08/2022 15:25

@Tophy124 I’m so sorry AF is coming πŸ₯² it’s never easy, but the positive is it’s the start of a new cycle, a new opportunity πŸ’œ
you can also try and track this cycle better πŸ’•πŸ’«

Mummyme87 · 16/08/2022 15:26

3dpo today. Had lots of twinges last 24hrs on left side, hoping that’s my left tube hoovering up the egg from my right.
my best friend who is trying for her second with a new partner got her BFP today. So happy for her but obviously so so jealous. We had our first babies 4months apart, would be lovely to have close due date babies again.

EdinburghGirl1 · 16/08/2022 16:13

@Tophy124 sorry you got a bfn and think AF is on her way. That's rubbish you'll have it on holiday.

@Mummyme87 fingers crossed for you. Never easy having bfp announcements around you when you are trying is it. Hopefully you get your soon and you can have babies close together again

cavebaby · 16/08/2022 09:38

@Jade57 Have you done a pregnancy test? An unusually long cycle and no proper period would make me think it was worth testing.

@MrsCristiano Really sorry to hear it and hope this is your month

@Charl881 Maybe it's a sign! But you're not out this month yet :)

Yes I have tested everyday for the last 9 days and all negative

H1994 · 16/08/2022 18:35

CD7 and I'm tracking with OPKs this cycle... at the moment they're very boring πŸ˜‚πŸ™ˆ I want some thick lines!!!

Orangesaretheonly · 16/08/2022 20:04

@CDD1992 totally understand, a close friend of mine is due her first in November and I am finding it really hard! Trying my hardest but it’s tough! Sending you a huge hug xx

The bleeding has stopped for me now after my chemical so CD5. Going to start LH strips
tomorrow once a day then twice a day from
the weekend. Apps predicting ovulation around CD14 which is fairly normal
for me but not sure if it’ll be different after chemical pregnancy.

sending baby dust and positive vibes to everyone. And hugs to those who need them πŸ’•

NSx · 16/08/2022 20:32

@Orangesaretheonly sending lots of hugs back at u πŸ€—

CDD1992 · 16/08/2022 20:33

@H1994 im CD10 and same as you - very boring OPKs all reading low.

CDD1992 · 16/08/2022 20:34

@Orangesaretheonly thank you πŸ’• sending big hugs your way too. Bags and bags of baby dust for all πŸ’–

Hi all
I have been dipping in and out of this thread, unfortunately my dreaded period has come πŸ₯΄πŸ₯΄ disappointed is an understatement but trying to remain positive for the next cycle!

A little early but I've created a ttc June thread.. I usually ovulate late so if I was lucky enough to conceive it would be end of may/early June!

H1994 · 16/08/2022 20:54

@CDD1992 I think we're still too early for peak! Must be x

Tophy124 · 16/08/2022 21:01

How do you know when to start doing OPKs twice a day? Will it be when I get my first dark line? And am I looking for the line to be the same or darker than the control line?

SidSparrow · 16/08/2022 21:42

@Tophy124 Good question!! I know ovulation is approaching. OPK test earlier gave me a faint line. I should probably DTD tonight but I'm shattered! πŸ˜‚

Can I afford to miss tonight?

Normally when I ovulate I don't feel a thing, but my small miserable boobs are actually a little sore! Is this a good sign? I hope so. πŸ˜†

LucyLoopyLu · 16/08/2022 22:21

Hi @Summerbreeze111 sorry AF got you.
Hopefully I won't be joining the June thread but not feeling too confident.

I'm on CD6 of cycle 5. Will probably start OPKs on Thursday.

Aww I know, I hope you are lucky sooner rather than later too. I hate the fact I ovulate super late so every cycle is so long πŸ˜‘ I've still got a few weeks to go just to reach the fertile period erghhh.
How are you getting on? Hopefully you're still feeling positive, its a hard journey!

Nichelette · 16/08/2022 23:17

Am on CD13 today. Feels like it snuck up on me a bit. Missed DTD on CD9 when I wanted to start due to life, but managed CD11 & today. Feel quite disengaged this month for some reason. Think it has dawned on me that we're only on cycle 3 and I feel like we're probably in for the long haul..

Londonlady22 · 16/08/2022 23:36

Hey ladies, it’s been a while, haven’t been on the thread much as nothing really going on but CD11 today so finally in my fertile week! AF and the days leading up to fertile week are so dull! Some darker lines on my OPKs today so that’s made me hopeful! Hoping to see lots of BFPs on this thread! πŸ™ŒπŸ™

Londonlady22 · 16/08/2022 23:39

Also found out a friend whose been TTC has fallen pregnant, she fell on cycle 6 which is reassuring and has given me hope that it can really just happen at any time! I think she was starting to feel down about it so that was lovely news.

BiscuitLover3678 · 17/08/2022 08:15

MrsCristiano · 15/08/2022 21:29

@Charl881 I either had a chemical or a faulty test πŸ˜’πŸ™„ AF arrived bang on time CD5 now. Hope you don't mind if I join @BiscuitLover3678..good luck everyone ❀️

Oh no! You’ve been so unlucky with chemicals πŸ˜“

@Orangesaretheonly positive vibes and baby dust to you too. Hopefully your cycle stays pretty regular this month

@Summerbreeze111 sorry AF arrived. Hoping I won't be joining this thread but not feeling too hopeful this month. Only 1dpo but only time will tell. That must be tough ovulating late and having longer cycles.

@Nichelette I'm on cycle 3 too and also feeling a lot less positive and stressing a bit yesterday about what if it takes ages, especially being nearly 38.

@Londonlady22 that's exciting you are now in your fertile week πŸ˜€

Charl881 · 17/08/2022 08:38

@MrsCristiano @BiscuitLover3678 Here we go again…. 10/11dpo and I have a very faint pink line. Might not look it on the pic but definitely pink. Fully expecting to start bleeding in a couple of days but let’s see…

@EdinburghGirl1 I'm 36 so similar. Conceived DS when I'd just turned 34 and that was a year. Wasn't really trying properly to start with so I don't really have an accurate idea of how long it took as was 2 or 3 cycles once I began paying more attention to actual dates.

EdinburghGirl1 · 17/08/2022 08:48

@Nichelette I conceived DD when I was 31 so 6 years ago. That took 4 cycles so I know to expect at least that really.

@Charl881 keeping everything crossed this sticks for you

SpringTulips22 · 17/08/2022 09:25

I'm 9 DPO now - AF due on Monday and I'm feeling some light cramping which probably signals AF. I often get very light cramping and some spotting a few days before AF fully comes on. I had a big temp dip on 7dpo, and it is up now again. Don't know what all of this means as it's my first time tracking BBT and 1st cycle TTC. I'm 33 and due to suspected endo I fear it could be difficult. Anyone else around 9DPO? How you feeling?
