The tww feels like forever! I'm hoping to find cycle buddies! Looking forward to symptom spotting, testing and everything else!😅

@Marie1990x I thought so too! It's hard not to feel discouraged, although anything could happen over the next week.
When are you due AF? You're not out until AF arrives, fingers crossed it doesn't!
Have you heard of the SMEP method?

It usually comes 2 weeks after my peak so will be either 9th or 10th.

we didn’t cover ourselves very well this month so I don’t know why I’m even bothering 😂.

Yeah, we tried it the other month but it was one of my long cycles so I wasn’t getting a peak and got fed up 😂

amichel · 05/07/2024 09:01

Still got a good days yet before AF is due🤞🏼

It's exhausting though isn't it! It's still possible, there's people that do dtd once and they catch.

I think I'll try to give that a go next month, if this cycle isn't the one. Fed up of seeing negatives now🥴x

8dpo took a cheapie this morning and a bfn obviously. I’ve take a opk there’s a faint line. Still weeing at least 20 times a day, with cramps etc so we’ll see what tomorrow morning brings using a first response

1woodpecker · 05/07/2024 18:05

11dpo BFN here. This was this afternoon and not after a very long hold. We’ve been quite casual, wanted to be chill about it all, think only had sex once in fertile window this month. Trying not to worry that nothing has happened yet…. But also doing all sorts lifestyle wise to try and be in the best position! Supplements, diet, trying to reduce harmful toxins in skincare/cleaning products… really need to lose a bit of weight but it’s hard!

@1woodpecker Sorry you got a bfn! When is AF due?
That sounds like a really good mindset to have. It can be such a stressful time. It's a good idea to focus on all the factors and not just fertility. I hope you get your bfp soon!✨

How long have you been trying for? Sorry if you’ve said before I can’t keep up.

if AF arrives on time then it will be a good 3 cycles it has so I’ll be more inclined to try SMEP next cycle.

I’ve to be up already now. DH brought me a bottle of wine home and I didn’t even flinch at devouring it 🤣

amichel · 05/07/2024 22:21

Oh don't worry! I can't keep up either. I'm sure I've asked everyone at least twice when is AF due😅

This is only our second cycle, so I'm prepared for it to take us into next year.

That's good of him! We over indulged in a huge takeaway, I look about 6 months pregnant now😂

Ahhh! Yes will deffo do a digital in a few days I think X

Samthenanny · 06/07/2024 09:07

I took a first response this morning and it was a bfn, I’m thinking I’m out but we’ll see but I’ll enjoy some wine tonight
all pains etc I’ve been having for a week have died down also which is just so strange.
maybe a bit tmi but had loads of creamy discharge, I thought I’d wet myself 🤣

Due tomorrow - my LP is usually 12 days but occasionally it’s 13… so could be Monday! I don’t feel like my period is coming yet.. usually get some kind of mild cramping or light spotting in the days before, but then again it always. So a bit of a wait and see

1woodpecker · 06/07/2024 09:17

Btw does anyone else use the Countdown to Pregnancy upload bit where you can use the tools to change the colour etc of your photo and people can vote on whether it’s positive etc? I’ve found that q helpful when looking at squinters!

@26dX How exciting!! Please keep us updated x

@Samthenanny
I'm exactly the same! I've had creamy CM since ovulation. All symptoms have died down, just a slight lower back ache now and then although that could be from carrying a toddler around.
If I had implantation bleeding Tues-Weds it would be 3 days from implantation. I know I should just wait until Tuesday to test😅
Enjoy your night!

@1woodpecker I hope it doesn't and you get your bfp! I'm so over this TWW wait now😅 Only 5 days left for me and I would have thought I'd have had a positive by now.

I haven't heard of it. Is the app called 'Countdown to pregnancy'? I can't find it on the App Store x

ooh a a website rather than an app (unless there’s an app too but haven’t seen one). If you’d search countdown to pregnancy it should come up. Then it’s under community and photo gallery I think. You make an account but can upload test pics anonymously and then use the tools and if you put unsure rather than Bfp/bfn then people can vote ☺️

im day 13 now, so period due today. Had tiniest bit of peach on a tissue last night which I usually get before it starts. I do BBT and my temp was still up above the coverline this morning though and it usually drops. But 99% sure it’ll get AF today!

1woodpecker · 07/07/2024 09:49

AF just arrived for me! Going to plan what I’m going to do different this month.. really going to try and focus on the lifestyle stuff. Also ordered Angus castus to try. Good luck everyone still waiting 🤞🏻

Samthenanny · 07/07/2024 13:41

@amichel its so bizarre isn’t it.
tmi but I woke today and had loads of cm but it was pinky, it’s definitely not normal for me.
I also have the backache but same as you it could be toddler related haha.

26dX · 07/07/2024 13:58

@amichel will do! AF was predicted around 10th/11th, just wondering when I can do this digital 😂😂

Marie1990x · 07/07/2024 21:20

How is everyone getting on?

I have well and truly let my hair down this weekend 😅.

Tested “just in case” this morning and of course it was BFN. Won’t be testing again now and just waiting for AF to arrive this week.

Here goes yet another cycle 🙄
