@Eirlys1986 thanks so much 🥰

@VixFromThe6ix at 5dpo would be nothing to show in bloods with regards to a pregnancy. You’re definitely not out though!!!

@LeopardLover always fun to pee on a stick! Good luck if you end up testing tomorrow morning. I am major league impatient to get into testing territory after all this bloomin’ sex we had on the smep plan. Gotta say, it was glorious to get into bed last night and not “have” to do it 😂

@LeopardLover thanks for the encouragement ☺️

Happy International Day of the Midwife to those TTC midwives. You’re amazing xxx

@Mummyme87 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻🥰

Happy international midwives day!!

Ah thank you ladies @VixFromThe6ix @Bumblebee413

Ah yay happy international midwives day!

Hope everyone has a brilliant bank hols. Sorry to those who're working it.

I'm actually 9dpo not 8, and got a negative test this morning. So counting myself out.

@VixFromThe6ix and @LeopardLover good luck for next testing with the early spotting you've had

@A1b2c3d4e5f6g7 defs not out at 9dpo! Isn’t implantation around then? I got a faint line at 12dpo with my son. I thought I was testing early! 😂 x

@Muriel84 yeh apparently most common/optimal implantation day is 8-9 DPO

Happy belated International Day of the Midwife - you are incredible! @Mummyme87

@A1b2c3d4e5f6g7 you still have a few days yet! I'd only test after 12DPO so don't count yourself out. 😊

My AF arrived last night so that's me tapping out for this cycle. I don't remember ever getting an early period (& neither does my fitbit) so that's new. It's very heavy too - I not letting it get me down. I'll be utilising those OPKs soon.

Good luck everyone else! I rediscovered the Fertility Homeopath on YouTube if anyone is looking for a recommendation. I rated her advice last time I got pregnant 😊

@LeopardLover sorry, ugh and heavy also, just to add insult to injury. Ope you've some nice stuff planned to feel better. Thanks I will take a look at that!

@Muriel84 and @LeopardLover I don't know, I tested positive at 8dpo last time and thought the sensitive tests were meant to pick up the traces of hcg earlyish!

My period is due in the next couple of days. Not feeling any symptoms any think it's unlikely I'm pregnant but want to avoid drinking just in case. Have various plans with friends and trying to figure out what to do Say/do. Any tips or ruses?

I'm on my third day of flashing smileys on the clearblue ovulation tests. Hoping for a solid smiley soon. Only 4th cycle TTC and it is quite a tiring process! Thanks @LeopardLover for the Fertility Homeopath recommendation! And Happy International Midwives Day to all the lovely midwives on here.

HCG isn’t detected until 2 days post ovulation @A1b2c3d4e5f6g7 even with the most sensitive so don’t count yourself out. You may not have implanted yet

Hi all, how’s everyone getting on? Hope people enjoyed their various bank holiday weekend/coronation shindigs 🇬🇧
Is anyone close to testing time? Good luck if so!

9dpo, evening wee… got my BFP! ♥️

@Mummyme87 oh that’s absolutely wonderful news. It’s true what they say you’re super fertile after a chemical! That happened to me. ❤️ what a great line at 9dpo! Do you think you ovulated early? I was wondering about ordering some Easy at home sticks cos I feel bad peeing on plastic ones. Are they bad for evaps?

@LeopardLover sorry you’re having an early heavy period. Mine have been heavy since my son which is why I tried the pill for a few months which I now regret cos of silly spotting since.

@Eirlys1986 did you have a nice party? I was going to test at 12po but might test at 9po just cos I’d like a glass of wine next Friday eve if I’m neg. Have to say I’m feeling thoroughly pessimistic this time. Perhaps cos ovulation pounced on me so early and we missed one of my most fertile days. X

@Muriel84 I wasn’t going to trust the easy @ home initially so did the boots one aswell because I’ve been stung with evaps previously once. I ovulated a day early this cycle but could pinpoint the day. I think I implanted maybe 7dpo, I did with DS2 aswell.

added extra vitamins this cycle, magnesium, omega 3, selenium, changed to high dose vit b complex and also Maca Root 1000mg

@Mummyme87 amazing! So so good, especially after you feeling so upset and conflicted after BFF news the other day! So so happy for you and hoping so much to join you soon. Yay! 🎉 xxx

@Muriel84 I did have a lovely party thanks, very patriotic indeed! A nice distraction from things too. Hope the nights are going as well as they can be!

Ps @Mummyme87 what happened on dpo 7 to convince you of the implantation? X

@Mummyme87 ah that’s great. I’ve not heard of Maca root. I’m assuming proceive max is covering all my vitamins. Tho a bit concerned about it affecting my ovulation. We’ll see.

@Eirlys1986 aw sounds great. I have inadvertently dressed in red, blue and white for work 😂 all ok so far but the night is young! X

@Muriel84 god speed to the morning 👍🏻, maybe the proceive max has caused you to infect ovulate twice including the early one…I think that’s what happened to my friend who ended up with the twinnies 😂

@Eirlys1986 😂oh god OH would do his nut! We did final smep today for good measure but probs should’ve been Friday really. I did an opk I think on thursday just to see and it was v pale. X
