TTC First Baby Thread 21

🥵🥵🥵meant to be starting SMEP today but just too 🥵🥵🥵 CD8

Guys I need some help please (those who have had scans before)

I went for an ultrasound and a transvaginal ultrasound today as I had pain 3 days ago.
I am 5+3 and nothing to be seen on ultrasound and only a gestational sac to be seen in transvaginal scan... the lady doing the scan said "I can see a tiny gestational sac measuring only 4mm and no yolk sac or foetal pole" doctor said it's quite normal but wants me back in 2 weeks for another scan "to see which direction this pregnancy is going" they've said 90% certain it's not ectopic but now I feel so worried and deflated... is this actually normal or is it something bad :(

CD20 and finally got a line on my OPK! It’s definitely not a positive tho I reckon it will be tomorrow! Would there be any reason im ovulating so late this month? My last 3 cycles have been 30,29,28 days! I am absolutely convinced it’s those seven seas TTC vitamins!

@ellarosee I managed it last night but it was pretty sweaty 🥵 just do A LOT of foreplay right up to the last minute 😄

Oh thank you @Anny27 this is such a learning curve! Really appreciate all your help 😊 now how am I going to convince DH to dtd in his heat 🤔😂 x

@ellarosee sometimes if you are hydrated, the tests come up lighter. I have found that in the past :)

Probably get a peak reading tomorrow. DtD (if you can manage to in this heat!)

@Makingawish @May2311 thank you so much, I'm not sure I can handle it in this heat 🥵🙈

I've taken another test which has come up much lighter so now I'm really confused (the top one)

@ellarosee I would say that’s positive! Good luck in this heat!!! Xx

@ellarosee I would be DTD for the next few days if I got that result 😊

Hello,

I'm new here.. although I've been lurking for a little while you ladies all seem so lovely. I'm on my 3rd month of Ttc now after coming off the pill back in May. I definitely ovulated during the first month but didn't catch it in time. I didn't think I ovulated last month because I had no ewcm and all the cheap opks I used came out completely negative from cd10 onwards. Today I am cd7 and felt some odd cramps so took an opk and it's come out like the attached image. Is this strange for cd7 - should I be dtd tonight? Any help would be really appreciated - and thanks so much for the fermometer app recommendation @Anny27  x

@Larrydavid I used the first CB today and got the symbol for low fertility so I’ll hopefully see that change in the coming days! 🤞

@flossy12 you can use the app called femometer which tells you if your OPKS are peak (positive) or high (nearly positive). Its reslly useful you just take a pic and the app tells you

@lozzlepop yep its going to be intense heat haha. Back to a cooler 23 tomorrow though :D

@ELW85 thank you :D trying not to get too carried away but it has given me hope xx

@Lozzlepop ooohh exciting! First positive I've ever gotten off OPKs

Morning!

Its hot already but we are a day closer to the weekend which makes me very happy!!

@LokiCat It is deffo worth a watch! Oh that sounds like a lovely night, I managed to have a much better sleep last night so feeling like a new woman today!! Thats not so bad that its a Open book test, you'll ace it!

@Imjustme2019 we did SMEP last cycle, it can be tough going but it did work so I would deffo give it a go!

@hopeandpray1988 the progression looks really good, I have everything crossed that the scan goes well!

@Anny27 oh god, heres me having a meltdown over 28 degrees 😂 although to be fair us Scots aren't built for hot temperatures.

Hello @flossy12, yes it looks like you are gearing up to OV in the next 12-36 hours

@Anny27 - that all sounds positive! I’ll keep everything crossed for you :)

@hopeandpray1988 - that’s great! I’ll give you some advice that the ladies here gave to me; put the tests down. They look like they’re in a great place, so try to relax until next week’s scan! If you want to do a test on Tuesday before the scan, fair enough, but otherwise it all looks good and hopefully the spotting has stopped, so you’re in a good a place as possible! X

Morning all, nice to meet you all! I'm heading towards the last week of my 3rd cycle TTC. So currently just over a week deep in my third 2WW! Tracked ovulation this month, not that we need to time sex but just so I knew I was actually ovulating 😂
I feel different this month; boobs are tender which never happens to me during PMS and I'm irritable. But worrying I am just noticing things more or clutching at straws. My OVIA app says I can do an early test in 4 days, so this weekend I will start doing a test once a day until either AF arrives or (hopefully) I get my BPF!

Hey guys just Jumping on this thread if no one minds 😅

Ok so I had one IC OPK left in the bathroom, had some EWCM at work last night so caved this morning and tested, now this is the darkest result I've even gotten from an OPK

Does this mean ovulation is close? I've ran out of them now and don't want to buy more as we're not trying this month

Can someone shed light 😅

The top test was done Tuesday morning and the bottom one done this morning both lines cane up within 5 mins

*oops I mean from 11-13 dpo x

@Lozzlepop This is my line progression since Tuesday. From 10-13dpo. Hoping it's a positive thing and I get good news from the early scan next week 🤞🏻

That should say today will be 37 degrees*

Morning ladies! Hope you all managed to get some sleep last night, absolutley boiling here and today will be degrees!!

I am 10dpo at the moment and have had some increased milky cm (tmi!) And a slight temp increase. Fighting the urge to test untill atleast 12dpo!

@Larrydavid we did SMEP last month. Was tiring however haha. Good idea to keep going a little more than the plan says if you think you may have ovulated later than your LH peak :)

@Makingawish they have to establish a base line so you need to use them a few days before your fertile week. The first time I used them, I started on day 6 I think and I got a flashing smiley about 4 days later.

@Larrydavid no I haven’t used the CB ones before. How does it know if the first time you use it is your peak? Chances are it wouldn’t be but I guess it’s a possibility!

@hopeandpray1988 - thank you. Let’s just stay positive 😃
Erm before my spotting started, the doctor told me to ring community midwives to register the pregnancy, so I did that. They booked me in for my midwife/form filling in appointment so I’ve done that.
In between all that, the spotting started so I rang the EPU directly so it was all dealt with separate to the usual midwife procedure.
You’re not meant to have a booking in apt until 8 weeks but I think they had a cancellation which is why they got me in.
I’ve got my scan next Wednesday (6w) so keeping everything crossed 🤞🏻

@Imjustme2019 defs recommend the book! I'm doing smep. It's my second month of it but I honestly think I missed my ovulation last month (I think I ovulated later than my opk suggested as I had pains and EWCM 3-4 days after smiley!) we got a static smiley face last night but we're just going to keep dtd until we're sure this time! Though this heat is killing me! Are you doing it too? Smep I mean.

@Makingawish Have you used the CB ones before?
