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!

@calipoppy i can see a faint line! Fingers crossed for you!

@EdinburghGirl1 Nice to have someone on a similar timeframe! I’ve got a weekend away with friends this weekend and starting back work Monday (teacher!) so hopefully will be a quick week next week! πŸ˜‚

EdinburghGirl1 · 18/08/2022 16:43

@LavenderWillow that's good and should keep you busy

Mummyme87 · 18/08/2022 16:43

@calipoppy yes I see it!!!! Have you got any frer or anything?? How many dpo?

Tophy124 · 18/08/2022 16:43

@LavenderWillow I had spotting with my 1st BFP so fingers crossed for you!!

if you can resist the urge I’d recommend not testing till your AF is due. Negative results sooner are so disappointing and you will still hold on to the β€˜but maybe I tested too soon.’

Mummyme87 · 18/08/2022 16:49

@calipoppy also, didn’t you think you had missed Ov?

calipoppy · 18/08/2022 16:50

Thanks everyone! I don't know how many dpo I am as I started opks on day 13 but only got negatives, so I think I'm about 10-11 dpo. It wasnt FMU so I'll test again in the morning, trying not to get my hopes up too much as it's so early but it would have been my due date at the start of sept and it's so nice to think I might be pregnant again before it πŸ™

calipoppy · 18/08/2022 16:50

@Mummyme87 yes!! I honestly don't know how I can time it perfectly every month and the one month I think I've missed it I get a BFP?!

NSx · 18/08/2022 17:04

@calipoppy I’m so happy for you πŸ’œ I know how much this would mean to u, as I too would love to get my BFP before my due date in November 🀞 for u babes will u test again tomorrow morning? x

Mummyme87 · 18/08/2022 17:09

@calipoppy our bodies are mysterious!
fingers crossed for you

newgal · 18/08/2022 17:18

Congrats @calipoppy !! πŸ˜€Another bfp for this group!
Still waiting for bbt to confirm ovulation… don’t think it has happened yet even though CD15, and happened last month on the same day. Feeling deflated before tww has even begun, any tips? πŸ’­

calipoppy · 18/08/2022 17:27

@NSx thank you so much, I even feel like if it's a chemical at least it's given hope that my body can be pregnant again, I'm sure you know what I mean ❀️ I think I'll test again in the morning and if the line is stronger will tell DH, for now I don't want to tempt fate. Keeping everything crossed for you this month too xxx

cavebaby · 18/08/2022 17:34

Huge congratulations @calipoppy and @Charl881, what a great day for BFPs!

NSx · 18/08/2022 17:38

@calipoppy I 100% know exactly where you’re coming from! I have my fingers crossed for you, you being pregnant gives me hope also πŸ’•πŸ€ž …
please keep me updated tomorrow when you test 😘

CDD1992 · 18/08/2022 19:21

I really don't know how I feel about the Ferti.Lily. Used it this PM, first day of fertile window (I'm CD12 not CD11 as I originally thought), put it in, went to invert and pulled it straight out with all of DP's hard work coming with it 😬 now just feel like I've probably just screwed it up for us 😒

NSx · 18/08/2022 19:23

@CDD1992 u need to hold it in place with a finger and just pull lightly to make it like an upside down umbrella πŸ˜‚πŸ˜…β˜”οΈ

ExPatHereForAChat · 18/08/2022 20:02

@CDD1992 oh no. I totally know why you're upset, something similar happened to me last month but without the fertilily; don't ask!
I think some should still have shot up there so I don't think it really matters.
It sounds like you may not have had the umbrella part all the way up in your cervix?

Londonlady22 · 18/08/2022 20:05

CD13 today and OPKs getting a little darker but I haven’t peaked yet, so I think I’m in my fertile week. Have DTD daily since CD11, I was going to try SMEP but thought it was too regimented and I don’t want our sex life to be a tick box exercise and I know I can always try it in the future if I want to. I was thinking about next month, If I don’t get a BFP this month, I might ditch the OPKs and BBT tracking, I’m not sure if they are just stressing me out…. I think as long as we DTD a few times a week and I roughly know when I’m fertile by my apps and CM, that is essentially the same thing and takes the pressure and obsession off. I would love to have more of a β€˜what will be will be’ attitude. My friend thought she hadn’t ovulated one month and started to freak out and thats when she got her BFP, so makes me wonder if this is helping me or stressing me out, again, it’s something I can come back to in the future if I’m not getting anywhere. Does anybody else feel like this?

CDD1992 · 18/08/2022 20:26

@NSx @ExPatHereForAChat i did totally forget to hold it in place whilst I turned it inside out - stupid mistake as I'd already read your message telling me to do it! I presumed i had it far enough up as any further and I wouldn't have had a tail to hold on to!!

Mummyme87 · 18/08/2022 20:48

@CDD1992 plenty of swimmers will have shot up into your cervix regardless of the fertililly. Don’t stress lovely

Yea completely feel like this. Was going to try smep but don't want to strictness. Going to use OPKs this month as I have some but if I don't get a bfp this month I'm going to not bother and do as you say.
We have quite an active sex life anyway so I'm not worried we're not doing it enough. Tracking cm is a good way too!

Charl881 · 18/08/2022 21:38

@calipoppy congratulations! Here’s hoping for a sticky one for you.

@CDD1992 if it helps the first time I used the fertilily I definitely didn’t get it right but the second time I nailed it and really noticed a difference in terms of how it felt.

Londonlady22 · 18/08/2022 21:45

@Orangesaretheonly glad I’m not alone in feeling this way… I find it a little consuming and makes me feel a little crazy. I’m going to finish the box this month and if no luck, next month I’ll go it alone and see how it feels. If you are having regular sex then really thats all that matters!

Tophy124 · 18/08/2022 21:53

I’m also in 2 minds about doing the SMEP method. I don’t know what’s happened this month but I’ve suddenly become obsessed! Having lots of bad cramping and an odd AF this month and even now my brain is trying to tell me to test again.

congratulations to those that have had BFP’s, so lovely to see xx

NSx · 18/08/2022 21:58

@CDD1992 try it again u will get the hang of it πŸ˜‚πŸ˜…πŸ€—

NatGee · 18/08/2022 22:08

@NSx @CDD1992 ill be honest, I got my fertilily but haven't used it once. Instead, I've been holding my legs up for 10 minutes 😳😳😳😳
