Hello of course, I'm so sorry to hear that but I've got my fingers crossed for you this cycle. I'm 6doo too, how are you feeling? Any early symptoms yet?

Hi @Butterflygirl23 👋 I had some pains this morning but nothing otherwise really. Hard to tell with the pains as I have problem with sciatic nerve at the moment so every pain is probably linked to that 😂
. How about you? X

LittleDoveLove · 27/08/2022 08:01

My temperature has been virtually the same raised height past 6 days which I'm really hoping is a good sign.
I ovulated late this month - CD25! And I had a shorter luteal phase so I'm just hoping its longer this month. X

Butterflygirl23 · 27/08/2022 08:05

I've been having what feels like light period cramps on and off so I hope it isn't my af coming earliy and my boobs are sore, but I've come down with a cold so I felt awful last night had a bad headache body ached etc.

@Butterflygirl23 they can also be signs of pregnancy/implantation so don't lose hope! My boobs hurt too but always do a week run up to period. My friend who got pregnant recently said she had no symtoms! 1 week down 1 week to go! Be amazing if we all had our May babies!

Oh yeah my boobs tend to hurt around week before my period too. I know it'd be lovely wouldn't it

Who will be tempted to test early?! If yes when are ppl testing?!

Kpinks44 · 27/08/2022 16:55

I think I’m going to wait to avoid any additional disappointment!

Of course, have you been using ovulation strips? I've just been going off the flo app and I can tell by my body when I'm ovulating

Kpinks44 · 27/08/2022 18:46

Can I ask a question! Have any of you used the clear blue ovulation digital sticks? The first time I used it I got a static, (and according to Flo I was meant to be ovulating) so is that correct? because I read somewhere the device needs to get used to your levels etc, so you should see flashing smiley faces first?

ChateauProvence · 27/08/2022 19:29

Hi, can I join please? I’m due on my period tomorrow but did a clear blue digital today and it was negative - I was so sure as felt like I had symptoms! Still have a little bit of hope that AF won’t arrive tomorrow

Rose785 · 27/08/2022 19:43

@Kpinks44 yes I use them 6 months on still not pregnant very frustrating not to say expensive!!! Sounds correct to me!

Rose785 · 27/08/2022 19:44

@ChateauProvence fingers crossed for you! I really want to hear some positive outcomes on this thread! How many months have you been ttc?

ChateauProvence · 27/08/2022 19:46

This is my first cycle so I feel very silly for feeling how I do. But I think I had convinced myself after the ‘symptoms’ I’d been feeling - just feel a bit disappointed and flat tonight

Rose785 · 27/08/2022 19:51

@ChateauProvence your feelings are defo valid whether it's day 1 or year 10 of ttc! You aren't out this month until af arrives. The last 5 months I have been convinced I have been pregnant as had every single symtom. This month I really don't think I am only cause when I tested positive on the opks I was away so couldn't see my partner until the next day! But I don't feel as desperate as I have done in past months.

ChateauProvence · 27/08/2022 19:55

@Rose785 thank you , that has made me feel better. I think I got a bit carried away with the excitement of it this month - I am going to try and chill out going forward . I do feel so nauseous though and fell asleep the afternoon - might just be a bug - who knows 🤷🏼‍♀️

Kpinks44 · 27/08/2022 20:00

Ah thanks Rose! Do you start them when it says too? I was already mid way through my fertile window when I bought them and the first one came up static so assumed that Was my day! But wondering if I should start them earlier next month so it works out my levels?! Or is that not how it works? They are vvvv expensive!

Alicemorgan2301 · 27/08/2022 20:20

Hi all! Am I ok to join too please? AF is also due for me next Saturday, it is so so hard to wait to test!! Currently on cycle 3 after having an early miscarriage back in May. Wishing everyone all the luck in the world on our baby journeys! Xx

Kpinks44 · 27/08/2022 20:22

@ChateauProvence omg don’t feel silly at all!! All totally natural ❤️

Alicemorgan2301 · 27/08/2022 20:24

I've had a few 'pains' in my lower stomach on one side that feels like a pinching sensation. I also remember getting the exact same thing when I got pregnant earlier this year, so feeling really hopeful that they are implantation cramps!! Everyone keep us updated!

LittleDoveLove · 27/08/2022 22:29

I'm not a fan of clear blue digital ones, it never got mine right for me, I just use the cheap ones now and I find it a lot easier to see my build up to peak.x
