[BB2023]

Popping this here for anyone TTC this month.
Sending lots of luck and positive vibes to everyone. xx 💖💖💖

I’m not sure when I will test. My cycle can be anywhere between 25 - 29 days so just because it doesn’t come on 3rd could mean nothing. I might wait until I’m a couple of days late. Having said that I will probs feels a tad impatient. When are you going to test?

I want to hold out until Monday but I've got a full box of Premom tests which I'm using for the time and think I might cave earlier

Just realised I got that wrong, meant to say I've got a box of easy@home tests x

Thank you BB2023

I finally got a temperature shift on Sunday (CD26! My cycles are usually 30 days!) I really thought it was an anovulatory cycle and was feeling so low, so when I got those crosshairs on FertilityFriend I was excited!

According to both my tracking apps, I'm either 4DPO or 7DPO. So in addition to delayed ovulation, possibly a 3-day delayed temperature shift after peak OPK.

Been feeling intense period cramps for almost a week so I've no idea what my outcome this month wlll be.

How's everyone feeling this evening?

I'm buying some tests tomorrow so I'll use one on Friday morning when I'm 12DPO (if AF hasn't appeared by then!) X

12DPO and BFN. Not even a hint of a line. Will hold of testing again now until DPO14 I think. x

8dpo today and got a weird twinge in my lower stomach on my left hand side last night. A bit like a period cramp but it was over in a few minutes and had nothing else since. Not sure if maybe that was implantation, although I've had no bleeding or anything!

How's everyone doing?

Also, does anyone use a Fitbit?

My RHR is usually around 62-63 but this week it's been creeping up and is now at 67. My body temperature has also been above the baseline every night this week, whereas it's usually all over the place, but it's been consistently above.

Not sure if I'm looking into things way too much, or if it's a sign!

Not out until AF arrives, as they say! When is she due?

In my early pregnancy (which also ended early) I had weird prickling feelings in my uterus at 6dpo, like a needle was softly poking me from inside. I thought perhaps implantation. This coincided with the onset of all my symptoms (acne, sore breasts, achy body). Does this prickly feeling sound similar to what you had?

@HelgaPatakisDiary My first cycle was 26 days. This is my second cycle and I'm on CD29 now with no AF. I'm not sure I'm actually late because I think it's likely just my body adjusting to life off the pill. 😫

I've got zero symptoms & we didn't DTD much so I'm thinking odds are against us this cycle. Every time I go to the toilet I'm just thinking AF will be there. x

Did a test this morning. AF three days late and still not here, going to try a digital test later today or tomorrow feeling anxious!

Wooohhh line spot! xx

Woke up with cramps today so sure AF will be here before the end of the day! x

Can’t quite believe it! I am pretty sure I’m 3 weeks.

Congratulations! Is this your first?

Yes and first month TTC absolutely flabbergasted 😍

Congratulations @CatLadyH that's absolutely brilliant ❤️

Congratulations to you!

Congratulations 🎉

@CatLadyH Yey! Massive congrats x

You’ll have to have a glass of lemonade to celebrate!

AF is now here so I'm out this cycle. All ok, was only cycle 2 so we continue on! Xx

@CatLadyH amazing congratulations to you!

@BB2023 disappointing! Let's keep supporting eachother into next month 🌷

I'm having an unusually long cycle due to late ovulation. CD 33, 8Dpo. Had daily cramping with pre-period joint aches since ovulation day (over a week ago) and AF not due for another week-ish

Hi Everyone 👋 TTC baby number 3, been trying for a while with a few false hopes so don't want to get my hopes up. 9dpo so I took a test (because POAS addiction is real 🙈)....can anyone else spot a line here? Thanks in advance, sending baby dust to all ✨ xx
