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 oh yes I know it’s very early and with a cheapie didn’t expect it to be positive. Just had to do it

@Mummyme87 😂😂 I’m 6dpo and trying to hold of testing until next Sunday - will see how that pans out. 🤪

@NSx thank you, yes I hope so, it will make the day so much easier to cope with if so ❤️ keeping everything crossed the same happens for you, I've got a good feeling! Xx

Hi all, hope you don't mind me jumping in.
are there any charters out there who could advise what they think?
I'm 12dpo, my chart looks quite promising I think but I am getting BFNs. I have some mild symptoms like nausea, bloating, fatigue, very vivid pregnant/baby dreams the past two nights.

I had a teeny tiny blood spot and cramps got worse on 9dpo and then on 11dpo I bled whilst dtd but that stopped straight away. Last month I got AF at 10dpo but this month I don't feel at all like she's on her way. I get very moody and really bad cramps.

Has people experienced this and the rise in temp but then got AF?
Or has people experienced this and then got a later BFP?

@EdinburghGirl1 I've v v v light spotting so think it's definitely af. I was up all hours with the most horrendous cramps

@calipoppy Great news 😊

Am on CD18 today. Woke up yesterday with a poorly timed stomach bug so think I'd be out just based on that.

I was really regular, but have just looked at my last year of cycles (baby born April 21) 27, 27, (got covid) 24, 25, 27, 27, 25, 24, 30, 28, 27, 25, 30. They've been all over the place recently. Apps predict I ovulated on July 20th last month and we BD on 15th, 18th & 20th but no joy. Contemplating buying one of the expensive CB snazzy ov things with the monitor but have been trying to avoid because (TMI) I find it really awkward testing because sitting in funny position makes me tense up and I find it hard to go 😅

@Nichelette personally I'd recommend them. Really find the premom app and the strips difficult to track and read. Good luck x

Thanks @NatGee . Good luck to you too x

Funnily almost straight after I posted I had promising CM so have attempted in case 😅. As last cycle was so long figure it doesn't hurt. Has anyone who is using the sticks found they've ovulated on CD18 before?

@calipoppy 💕 so happy for you!
time will tell for me, I’ll find out next week, I don’t hold much hope though 😂 my temperatures have been weird this week, I wasn’t feeling myself Monday & Tuesday - but who knows x

@Nichelette yes I have ovulated on D16, D18 and D20 before, its conpletely normal to ovulate a little later.

@Babydust99 sorry to hear this. Hope you're doing ok

@Sj2505 your chart looks really good to me! Hopefully it’s just too early and will get BFP soon!

@Doodle10 thank you - I hope you're right but I don't feel very hopeful now, but I'm ok I guess.

@Londonlady22 ooh interesting! Last cycle was quite long so might be lucky 😊

6DPO and my boobs are sore and very weirdly my underarms are so tender! Anyone else so aware of every little niggle in their body at the minute and trying to avoid the temptation of testing?! It’s so hard!🙈

Nice to see some fammilar names!

@Babydust99 good for you for not symptom spotting it is so hard but glad to hear you found it helpful! Sorry your test aren't behaving still keeping my fingers crossed for you how many dpo are you?

@Londonlady22 👋👋👋 love rule number 1 its so true the only true symptom is that 2nd line the rest are way tooo simmilar to AF. I've just reminded myself of one more rule not chasing shadows I'm just going to throw those test right in the bin!

@EdinburghGirl1 Hey again, really hope this is it for you! And yes stay away from the spotting read a book, watch a series stay sane!

Hey everyone!

Just checking in. How is everyone doing?

My af stopped and started last week. Today I’ve got heavy brown AF so pretty sure AF is now coming full blown. Feeling really sad as I convinced my self I may be pregnant and got super excited at the idea. Realised as I’m new to tracking that I’d put the wrong dates on the Premom app so I spent the last week being told I’m 5 days etc late for AF when actually once I realised and corrected the dates today, it’s spot on for when AF is due. I feel so sad!! So sorry for those of you that have had losses, that makes me so sad. Sending healing baby dust to all and congratulations to those that have tested positive. I guess now I’m day cd1 and can track once home from my holiday.

Would cd 10 be late to start tracking? Left my OPK at home. Will try to DTD every other day once my AF ends xx

@Lion14 I was exactly like that until I got the heavy brown bleeding today.

I was convinced I had all the pregnancy symptoms!

So sorry @Babydust99 xx

@Tophy124 I’m so sorry that AF has turned up. I know, I’m going to try and not get my hopes up this month.

Thank you @Lion14 and fingers crossed for you!

The worst part for me apart from being sad it didn’t work out this month, is that I knew my AF would probably come around today/tomorrow but I trusted the app over my own body!! I won’t trust apps anymore just use them to roughly track my cycle lengths. Ready to start OPKs tho xx

What day does everyone start their OPKs? Brand new to it and I’m on cd1 today but on holiday till cd10 xx

Hey @Tophy124 there are a couple of recommendations I've come across: If you do the SMEP method, it is advised you start on CD10. Clearblue have a chart that comes with their kit on when you should commence.

@Tophy124 My husband gives out to me fore the exact same thing, sometimes we need reminding that we know our bodies best! I usually ovulate between day 14-16 and I start OPKs on CD10, do you know when in your cycle you ovulate roughly?

@Tophy124 I usually start as soon as period has ended but tbh it’s kinda pointless as I dont ovulate until at least CD15 so CD10 should be ok if you have regular cycles unless you know you ovulate early and have shorter cycles
