Hi everyone, setting up a new months thread for those of us who already know weโ€™re out for August. Iโ€™m going on to cycle 3. Hope this can continue to be a place where we can chat and support one another.

Yes! I get the same but hadn't heard of anyone else having it before. I think mine is worse when I ovulate from the right side and it sometimes really hurts to dtd. I thought I might have an ovarian cyst, but had a scan last year which didn't show anything, so I've no idea why it happens!

Mine is worst at the end of getting CM (sometimes I get it for 5+ days before ovulation) so I think it's the actual ovulation rather than the build up. Let me know if you get any answers about it

Thanks for your reply, yes it's so difficult the pain is, I never usually DTD when ovulating coz of this reason but I have to aim ๐Ÿ™ˆ my period pain is no where near as bad x

Currently CD 36 ๐Ÿ˜” I think iโ€™m going to have to make a GP appointment and try figure out why my cycles are so long now. Has anyone experienced this before? Iโ€™m unsure what to expect and am a little scared to see the GP hence putting it off for so long. Itโ€™s just so so stressful.

What are your CD's normally?

@Marvelftw I think your chances are good as you've been consistent. With a bit of synchronization it won't be a problem even if ovulation comes in the weekend, although its not ideal.

What about your scan? What did it say?

Thanks Angel! I was a bit worried but ended up feeling reassured by the call. Basically they said theyโ€™re not that worried about the fibroids impacting the ability to implant overall, but the fact they found something means theyโ€™ll want to check me over. My first blood result all came back as normal too.

What are your CD's normally?

The last 6 have been 35,37,32,30,34,38 Itโ€™s just confusing as up until Jan 2024 I had 29-30 day cycles and iโ€™ve read you donโ€™t ovulate if your cycles are longer than 35 days idk why theyโ€™ve changed๐Ÿ˜ข

Wow congrats @Mash0917 ! Well deserved!

PBandJellySandwich · 12/09/2025 06:41

Congratulations @Mash0917 - there's no denying that digital!

@amey44 it's definitely worth going to the GP. I imagine they would do bloods to check hormone levels, thyroid etc and maybe an ultrasound scan to make sure there's no signs of polycystic ovaries

I'm still in limbo here, got the very very faint line yesterday (which has now vanished off the test, but I have the photo to prove I'm not going mad!). I won't be able to retest until tomorrow morning and the wait is killing me!

blackberryhill · 12/09/2025 08:59

Congratulations @Mash0917! I can't remember if this is your first or not, but if so just to set expectations my GP had zero interest in seeing me when I found out I was pregnant ๐Ÿ˜‚I rang them very excited and they were just like ??? Why are you telling us, you can just self-refer to the midwife online. It was very underwhelming!

Welcome @Wifeymatters, hope you have a quick and easy journey!

PBandJellySandwich · 12/09/2025 09:26

Finally worked out how to add a photo! Can anyone else see a vvvfl, or am I imagining it?

I see what you're seeing (I think) - is this yesterday's test? Could you do another today?

blackberryhill · 12/09/2025 09:48

Trigger shot is (very nearly) out of my system - going to do my best to put away the tests now until Official Test Date next Friday. At the moment I'm not feeling very positive but I know it's too early to know one way or another. I've got fun weekend plans and then we're away on holiday next week so hopefully lots of distraction to take my mind off things.

I'm away on holiday and only took 1 test with me to stop me testing way too early and obsessing over the holiday! I planned to take it today, but caved and tested early yesterday, so now I have to wait until tomorrow morning when I'm home!

Wishing you all the best with your cycle, I'm glad you've got lots of distractions before the official test date

MyPeppyLimeBear · 12/09/2025 11:50

I can see a very very faint colourless half line here but that usually suggests indent right?

im around 7DPO from when I was supposed to ovulate but my smart ring didnโ€™t detect an ovulation at all so Iโ€™m not even sure why Iโ€™m bothering to test to be honest haha. Best of luck ladies x

I can sort of see something but the image is very pixelated when I zoom in so canโ€™t say for sure

Would anyone mind getting their line eyes out for me? I've been having a very confusing cycle. Been tracking BBT and NC says ovulation was one date, but another app says it's a completely different one so I've no clue how many DPO I am...

I can't see anything on this one I'm afraid but I know photos don't always show so clearly. Hope you get some answers soon!

Me neither. Thanks for checking for me - sometimes I see photos on MN where everyone says congratulations, they can see a faint line, and I can't see it at all, so I guess I was just hoping!
