@Aimee1995 which is stronger or does it vary? The afternoon one? Thanks!

My clearblue opk is still negative this morning, not even a flashing smiley and I've had tons of ewcm. So confused

@Babydust99 join the club!

@anotherscroller oh no! What cd are you on?

@Babydust99 I’m on CD20 and I normally ovulate on CD19

Hi guys 8DPO AF due on Friday! Been feeling lots of heaviness and cramps since Sunday! Can’t stop going to the loo to check! Very frustrating. Any girls that had BFP get any cramps?

@Babydust99 sometimes you can get ewcm a few days before. I did this last cycle. I think it was around CD 7/8 I noticed it and didn't get flashy until CD 9

@CRLan fingers crossed for you. Some people definitely get cramps then get a bfp

I'm out for this month. Started spotting this am which leads to AF tomorrow. But only came off the pill end of June, just getting my hopes high too soon. Fingers crossed for next month

@EdinburghGirl1 oooh Zanzibar is fab, where are u off to instead - wish I was going somewhere ❣️ I used to be a flight attendant up until November last year so I’m quite well travelled 🌎 wish I was off somewhere nice.
how u feeling today? Will you test or just wait for AF?

@anotherscroller my afternoon one tends to be higher but the morning one gives me an indication its about to peak as it is higher than normal without peaking!

@NSx it looks amazing. We are definitely going to go another time. We are going to Athens then Naxos them Mykonos so a little Greek adventure. So can't wait and will be nice to relax and not think about ttc so much and be distracted whilst in tww.

I don't actually know if I'll test. I'm sure I'm out but might see if she shows later on. I had 14 day luteal phase last month so AF came 15dpo. I did take pregnacare this cycle though which I know can lengthen some peoples cycles so maybe that could affect me. I do have some cheapie tests I could use just to kinda reassure me

@CRLan I definitely had cramps just before getting my BFP, and just after, they've settled down a bit now. Felt a bit different to usual AF cramps although I'm really struggling to describe how!

@EdinburghGirl1 your Greek adventure sounds amazing! We booked an all inclusive to the canaries a few weeks ago for later this year... May turn out to be a bit of a waste now if things progress 😂 at least I can make the most of the food!

@EdinburghGirl1 that sounds amazing - Greece is beautiful 😍
if I were you I would test before I go just to know, but again if you think AF is coming then no point, sometimes pregnancy comes when you least expect it though 🤞 for u xx

@NSx I go in 2 weeks and if I get AF today tomorrow and similar ovulation to last month I'll only be around 3/4dpo when I go so it would be too early. I'll probably take some tests with me to test around 10po then I'll know for sure either way

@EdinburghGirl1 do you have any signs AF is coming? i get like hot flushes right before , so it’s a sign for me and she came the next day 😂😅 bang on day 28 last month I had a 29 day cycle so it seems like my AF is regulating after my loss end of May which is good x

@NSx mmm not really. last couple months I got cramping but literally just before it started. I've only had 2 periods since coming off pill and hard to really remember from before plus things change don't they. That's great your cycles have regulated

@RugbyGirl1 aw that will be lovely. As you say you can enjoy the food and soft drinks etc. I was in Gran Canaria with my DD in May and we had a great time. Was just the two of us so wasn't like I was drinking lots. I'm sure you'll have a lovely holiday

@Amelia231 sorry to hear that. On to June! Give yourself some time to be disappointed. 💐

Hi @RugbyGirl1 how long after your BFP did your cramps last for? I've got them too and it was quite worrying as I've never had period pains before so I didn't know how bad I should expect things to be? They are on and off during the day and not too bad but at nighttime they keep me awake and have woken me up. Usually pass after an hour max. I would say dull consistent pain, aching, pulling sometimes feels like I need an urgent dash to the loo (but I don't). I hope this is all normal.

So looks like this really is the luckiest thread ever. AF still hadn't arrived and was feeling a little nauseous so decided to do a test and turns out I am indeed pregnant

@EdinburghGirl1!! This is the best news! You deserved it for creating the luckiest thread ever! 🥳

@EdinburghGirl1 🎉🎉 congratulations! Wow what a lucky thread? What DPO are you? Why did you think you were out? Xx

@anotherscroller ahh I'm only cd11 but just found it strange that I didn't even have a flashy face when I have all the symptoms. O pains have even started today

@EdinburghGirl1 thanks. What days did you dtd this month? Hoping everything goes well for you 🙂🤞

Oh my goodness!!! This has made me quite emotional - massive congrats

@EdinburghGirl1 Huge congratulations!! 🎉
