    Hi All

    Sorry PKK, I know that you have just done the list, so I am happy to wait until you need to do it again, but CD1 for me today.

    I know that we haven't been trying for long, but I feel really deflated tonight. One of my friends announced that they are expecting their second, and I am really happy for her, but it just wasn't great timing!

    I hope everyone is ok; thank you all for being so supportive to one another, it is such a nice place to be part of.

    OH had a really bad asthma attack last night so BD is off the cards for us for the foreseeable, i think that will make us out of it for this month as the apps are predicting Sunday as ovulation day.
  • Sorry to hear Lola!

    AF is done for me this month so its back to the if in doubt for me!

    Does anyone recommend a particular OPK to use? I have been relying on apps but not sure how accurate the dates are and wondered if I should up my game!?

    BusyBargainz, I have only used the Clearblue OPK!!!8217;s with a static or flashing smiley. They are more expensive but I liked how clear they were, no squinting to see if a line is darker etc. I paid for 20 earlier in the year which I managed to stretch over 2 cycles. Sadly the 2nd cycle we used them OH was ill the whole of my fertile time but it was good that I managed to confirm the OV date was almost the same as the cycle before! I got 30 free with the CB trial so I am starting to use them again this cycle.

    Sorry the witch got you Zeni and Lola25.

    HappyLassie13, I hope your OH is ok after his asthma attack, that must have been quite scary!

    Sorry to hear that HappyLassie, I do hope your OH has a speedy recovery.

    Zeni, I know exactly how you feel! I too was 1 day late, so was getting my hopes up too! My AF has been extremely light last night and today, so not sure how long it will last (I think its too late for implantation bleeding).

    PKK, thank you for updating the list.

    Hi all,

    I didn’t get any sleep last night, as I only had really light bleeding yesterday morning, and then it seemed to stop. I have just done 2 pregnancy tests and have got BFP’s! I still have a very slight bleed this morning though, so am not too sure what’s going on.

    I am going to test again on Friday, as OH is not around until then anyway so I can’t tell him yet! I thought it was too late for implantation bleeding as I was overdue for my AF.

    I don’t want to get my hopes up too early, so will see what the other test comes up with on Friday! Xx
