@Londonlady22 sorry about that but it's still early! You may not have implanted yet. Will you try again in a few days time?

It’s fine, i’m actually ok with it! Yeah I think I will sunday or monday if AF hasnt arrived!

@natgee

Wow so many BFPs! Congrats all!

BFN here at 10dpo (maybe, app prediction. CD26 anyway). May be too early as last month was a 32 day cycle. I feel low level nausea at times when I get hungry like I did when I was pregnant with DD but I'm just symptom spotting I think. We DTD lots but being away on holiday with my family did hamper things a bit. If AF turns up then I'm going to get opks for next month, on to month 4... Feeling frustrated because DD only took the first month! But that was nearly 4 years ago.

@thedust oh no, I'm sorry but like you say its still early. yeah tracking does take the guesswork out of it. I didn't track the first two cycles, honestly thought all it took was have sex haha

@Londonlady22 I am glad to hear! :D hopefully youll get to enjoy the weekend knowing you are onto another go

@Natgee The NHS does say just to have sex every 2 to 3 days! Which is what we've done. But it would be good to know when I exactly ovulate cos it's quite tiring trying to have so much sex 😂Anyway, I'll sit tight and see if AF arrives. I have pcos so a bit sceptical whether opks will work for me. Tried temping but haven't been sleeping well so it's no use.

Thanks @NatGee

thats so cute that you work together @Nichelette . Yes I’ve been taking the regular pregnacare gummies. Haven’t tried doing opk before but wasn’t sure if that would illuminate things further than tracking bbt 💭 we dtd regularly around the middle of the cycle so wasn’t sure if it would be worth the extra expense, but lots of people on here seem to use them! Definitely have wine in the fridge too haha.

@natgee yeah its fine, all hope is not lost yet, i’m only 9DPO and only used internet cheapie, apparently implantation most commonly happens day 9 so I’m still in the hope zone… But either way is fine this month as I have alot of social events in September!

@newgal I've not used OPK's or bbt before but I think OPK's are probably going to be easier for me as mornings are quite busy. Not an expert but in theory I guess they should both point to the same thing and be similarly effective? Still feel a bit clueless though 😅

@Londonlady22 fingers crossed for you!

Still no AF here yet but I was expecting it tomorrow anyway. Feel sooo bloated and I'm getting spots now too 😭

So my fertile days are over now the big 14 day wait lol

Love the baked Camembert for BFN idea - should become a tradition!

so I’ve been moaning on this thread about not getting an Opk peak… and I did finally! Yesterday at CD22. Just goes to show you have to keep on with those sticks.

so my tww actually starts tomorrow and I’ll be testing on 11/09. But still a May baby potentially 🍀
anyone else just starting tww?

This is a peak right?
the last one was at 9pm yesterday, the second last one was at 3pm yesterday
anyone got any wisdom about it?

@anotherscroller oh yeah that looks like it 👍🏽great for keeping at it. Is this late ovulation for you?

I was nauseous the last two days (very nauseous yesterday) and have woken up STARVING today when I normally never eat breakfast as I don't get hungry til mid morning.

Bloated for the last few days too.

I'm only 8DPO though so probably just symptom spotting as it's so early?

It felt like it was just me @anotherscroller after all these BFPs! CD16 and still waiting for peak OPK, although I have EWCM today so hoping it will be soon.
I'll be scraping a May due date still all being well.

Morning everyone 😊
8DPO today and had a tiny amount of creamy brown CM lastnight...suspicious 🤔🤞🏼anyone else have this before their BFP?

Hi. I hope nobody minds me joining in! Congratulations to all the BFPs!! 🥳.
I’m currently 8DPO.
I had cramping consistently on 1DPO to 4DPO then felt nothing at all on 5, 6, and 7 DPO. Last night my fiancé randomly said my boobs look bigger and firmer but I don’t know if that means anything.
I had a really big cramp around the middle of my stomach this morning which had me doubled over in pain and have had mild on and off cramps ever since. So mild that you only really notice them if you’re paying attention. The big cramp felt more like a sharp ache whilst the cramps I’m experiencing now are dull. I’m trying not to get my hopes up about it potentially being implantation. I don’t feel pregnant and I’m convinced I’m out for this month as surely I’d be feeling symptoms by now.
This is our third month TTC #1.

@NatGee really late, I’ve been tracking it for three months now and it’s been between cd17 and 19.
now I’m wondering if I actually missed it every time, because I stopped opks after cd20, and also stopped BDing at that point… and maybe ovulation has always been later?And that would explain why ttc hasn’t worked….?

I only have opk and cm to go on because bbt doesn’t work for me

@anotherscroller that is a possibility! First two cycles i didnt track at all and may have been missing my window too. Hopefully better this luck this cycle now youve got your peak crossing my fingers for you 🤞🏽🤞🏽

@anotherscroller with bbt as you will know it tells you after the fact and not sure if it's truly helpful after that IMHO. So much can affect your temps and they can vary month on month... so I'm not sure if I'd worry about not doing it if I were yoh

CD31. Expecting AF to appear at some point today. Wish it would hurry up because I feel so bloated and horrible 🤦‍♀️

Need to tell someone this so I feel you guys are the best option. My partner wants to keep this as a secret until we've had a scan so we can surprise everyone including our little girl but last night we got our BFP, never been so excited 🤣

Can't get over how lucky this thread is!! Congrats, amazing news!
