Hi ladies, just thought I'd create a new thread for anybody that wants to continue.

@HopeAndStrength
@xxcxdonxx
And @SnookyPook for if/when you feel like you might want to come back xx

Sorry if I've forgotten anybody, I realise most of you guys have had your BFPs and there's only a few off us left waiting, but at least you know the thread is here so come back and keep us updated with all your lovely pregnancy stories 😊 For those of us still here, hopefully it won't be too much longer 🙏💖 xx

@Sez281 what's your graph looking like? X

@Jadeypie my chart is messed up 🤯 I never hit a peak, although the clear blue gave me smiley on cd 12 (I usually peak cd12-14) my last cycle was 23 days in total so I can't believe I might only be in fertile window now when AF is due in 3 days 🥴 As you can see from my chart we stopped dtd after my last window when back from hols cos I've felt crap all week 😷 But I grabbed my OH just after the test this morn just in case (I didn't tell him about it, was just spontaneous 😂 I'll just keep testing, will be really interesting to see what happens as I have such short cycles! Maybe it's all the vitamins 🤷‍♀️

@Jadeypie forgot to attach chart 🫠

@Sez281 ohh yeh I can see. Maybe you caught a lh surge with cb but your egg didn't release and now your body's trying again because the eggs more mature?? Either way good job grabbing the oh coz that could just be a sticky bean in the making fingers crossed. My graph looks like a heart beat line it's that up and down but today I've had the highest reading and darkest line so far and at this time of day too. am praying I get the peak tonight because I just want to get in that tww and sack these opks off hahaha

@Jadeypie is Sat you'll definitely hit it tonight or if not 💯 tomorrow. Make sure to keep testing for a day or 2 afterwards just in case, then bin them lol. Xx I've attached my chart from last cycle to show how quickly it rises and drops. Oh I miss my old lovely charts 🥹😂

Forgot again 🙈

Morning girls, so think I'm 5 dpo today @Jadeypie I did my last opk in the evening and it had faded alot so I don't think ive ovulated later, too late now anyway lol so I'm rolling with it. If it doesn't happen this cycle then we go again lol. My CM is not drying up tho, it's gone white now but seems to hanging around a bit longer, trying not to read in to it too much but you always hope 🙈

Good luck 🤞🤞

@Sez281 @Jadeypie feel for you guys! I think if it's any comfort @Hankthehonk conceived her rainbow baby after a weirdly long cycle month and lots of ups and downs! So keep the faith!

Still awaiting peak opk here. Think I'm now about CD12 so hopefully on track. However, we were hoping to dtd last night and toddler had other ideas. So... kind of hoping we've got a couple more days now!! What will be, will be!!

Morning @Westy22 glad to hear that it's gone down so you were right listening to your body. Hopefully the tww flies in for you 🤞xx

@SnookyPook the joys of toddlers eh 😂 Hopefully you still have another day or 2 but I'm sure you'll be fine 🤞

So It looks like I'll be starting my 2 week wait the day after tomorrow as my opk shot up today so I'll be ovulating on day 22 tomorrow. I don't even know how that's possible when I usually have 23-27 day cycles so it's gonna be a long ass wait for AF which was meant to be due in 2 days. So goodbye 8dpo and hello tww again 😫

My brain is absolutely frazzled. I'm after testing again and getting the highest peak I've ever gotten in 15 months of opks plus another smiley face on cb 🤯The last time I was anywhere near this reading was when I was pregnant and didn't know back at the end of January 👀. Im after doing a hcg and of course it was negative but I just can't help thinking that this might be it as I have genuinely never ovulated this late in my life. I know realistically I am probably reading too much into it and am just having a weird cycle as I've no pg symptoms but another part of me is praying that this could be it 🙏

@SnookyPook I totally get the toddler problem with dtd hahah we tend to do it on nap times haha.

@Sez281 oh I would be fuming haha but I have heard about the positive opks when pregnant have u done a test?

Mines dropped right off so I don't think I'm even ovulating or it's another long cycle. I cr t wait to get my blood test results to see what's going on xx

Why does premom put me at 1dpo when I haven't even had a peak? X

@Jadeypie oh no that must be so disheartening 😕 What cycle day are you on? Hopefully your blood results will give an indication of what's going on 🤞 xx

I did a pregnancy test but it was bfn which isn't surprising if I'm only 8dpo but I'm gonna take it that my opks are right and I'm only hitting peak now so we'll dtd today and tomorrow to try cover the bases (yet again 🫠😂)

Mine still has me at 8dpo. I think you just have to ignore the app abs keep testing, it'll adjust itself if AF appears or you can go into your rats and edit them to say peak etc when you get it

@Sez281 I’ve never done the bbt so I’m not sure how charts should look but i have heard about positive lh tests prior to bfp, I am sure there was someone on this thread fairly recently who has the same experience.
Fingers crossed for you 🤞🏻

@Jadeypie i wasn’t a fan of the Premom app, it didn’t recognise my peaks and I felt I always had to manually adjust it. Maybe I was just rubbish at taking photos 🤪

Hoping your peak is round the corner 🥰

@xxcxdonxx I'm not a fan of opks at all haha I think Al test again tomorrow then they are getting sacked off. How have u been doing anyway?? Xx

@Jadeypie I totally understand that, there is nothing like willing that test line to appear!

I’m ok thanks, I’ve got a follow up scan this week so I’m nervous when I think too much about it. I’m pretty certain that I’m going to be told I’ve miscarried again and almost preparing myself for it rather than be disappointed at the time. I’ll just hope I get a definite answer and don’t have another two weeks to wait!

@Sez281 I think you've done the right thing covering all bases with potential late ovulation 🤞I would've done the same lol it's probably just a weird cycle but you just never know it could be the cycle you need.

@Jadeypie you not liking these opks? I think I prefer using them tbh lol I felt like I've guessed a bit this month 🙈

@xxcxdonxx I get you with preparing for the worst, I did this and I think it helped me at the time process things. I really hope its positive news for you but either way we will be here to talk ❤️

I'm getting all hopeful this cycle is the one as it feels different, but think I'm setting myself up for a big old negative. It's crazy how we were all approaching the tww together now we're all over the place 🙈

@Westy22 I think it's ok to let yourself get a bit hopeful. Especially when you were away for a nice break and probably allowed your kind to relax and reset a bit. Crossing everything for you xx

@xxcxdonxx thanks, I really hope that it is a positive sign. I just did a pregnancy test and I feel like I can see a shadow of a line if I hold it a certain way 🙈 but I'm probably just manifesting it so I'm marking it down as negative. Managed to dtd again this eve so if it is in fact crazy late ovulation then hopefully we're covered 🤞

I totally know what you mean by preparing yourself for the worst, I think it's self preservation 😕 Sending you lots of positive vibes and praying it's good news xx

@Sez281 oh that must be so confusing/infuriating! Fingers crossed it's surprise good news but I guess even if you're back to the beginning of the tww at least it means there is still hope for this cycle!

@xxcxdonxx thinking of you lots this week. I can completely get bracing for bad news. I am hoping on your behalf that there is a miracle but as the others have said, we are right here with you whatever happens. 💕

@Jadeypie hope you get your peak soon! Mine is being a bit weird too this cycle. Only CD14 so should be any day but my opks are a bit different to usual and seem to be doing more of a slow rise rather than my usual sudden peak. 🤷🏼‍♀️ Hoping we manage to actually DTD today/tomorrow and that will be a good start!! Haha. At this rate we'll be out before we even begin.

@Westy22 fingers crossed this is the one!! Rooting for you!

Come on Rainbow babies!! 🌈💕🤞🏻

@xxcxdonxx totally get the nerves!! And I would be the same preparing for the worst as @Sez281 said it's a way to sort of cope. But we are all here for you xx

@SnookyPook seriously mines up and down its started to rise again today so God nos. Yours could be abit off after what you've just been through xx

@Westy22 yeh not a fan because I just want to see that peak and being disappointed ha I've just used my last one anyway and it's gone up again but Al just keep dtd randomly till af is due and if it's meant to be it will be I just won't test till I miss a period xx

@SnookyPook I'd imagine that your opks are a bit different this cycle after your chemical, I think that happened to me after mine. I think once you manage to dtd in or around the rise you'll be fine. I went down a chart rabbit hole yesterday and it turns out that my 2bfps this year were from only dtd twice in the whole fertile window so it just goes to show 🤷‍♀️

So I'm after doing 2 different types of ic pregnancy tests and there's the faintest whisper of a line on both 👀 I mean the tiniest whisper so very possible that they're indents. I'm going to try again later after a hold as it was well diluted but I'd imagine I'm just driving myself crazy at this stage 🤯

Ooh @Sez281 that’s very exciting!! How many dpo are you again? This time around I think I was 10dpo when I got a faint line.
Yes hold or wait until morning if you can!!
