@Lucy5546 thank you. If you weren't doing opks or temping then it's possible you ovulated later I suppose but if you were tracking CM that's usually a good indication. I understand your reluctance to test and be disappointed. But at the end of the day it's the only way you'll know. x

Lucy5546 · 03/01/2020 10:24

@mrsio ah wow i didnt realise you were pregnant. Congratulations 😁.
No i just tracked CM, cramping and cervix. OPKs and temping would just stress me out. No i haven't tested yet because i am so afraid of another BFN. My nipples are slightly more sensitive than last month but i know they can differ from cycle to cycle. I have had a bit of cramping on and off the last two weeks but i was away and eating things i dont normally etc so i haven't paid much attention!

mrsio · 03/01/2020 10:11

@Lucy5546 were you tracking ovulation with either opk or temping? Or are you just going by the dates O on an app? Have you taken a HPT? It's really impossible to say what CM or symptoms mean. I'm currently 6 weeks pregnant and the only symptoms so far are slightly sore nipples and some very mild cramping on and off x

mrsio · 03/01/2020 10:08

@debbs77 I felt exactly like that. I got pregnant the first month with my first. Then when I didn't get pregnant the first month this time I was like what the hell! I've turned 35 since having my son and my cycles felt different this time so I started panicking that we might have issues. I have ended up getting pregnant on the second cycle when we only DTD once and I thought we might have missed O! I know it's easier said than done but the best thing you can do is try and relax about it x

mrsio · 03/01/2020 10:05

@MrsC89 how are you doing?

Lucy5546 · 03/01/2020 09:35

*i dont have mich symptoms

Lucy5546 · 03/01/2020 09:34

Hey ladies i haven't posted on here in a while but i always find this thread so helpful. I need some input. I am currently about 19 DPO CD34. Im not long off the pill but my last two cycles were 29 and 32 days. I track my cervix and CM. The only difference this month is my cervix is quite high and hard. I dont have much CM but when i do its like water. I have much symptoms. I am guessing AF is late due to me being out of my normal routine. Any thoughts??

debbs77 · 02/01/2020 10:24

Happy new year everyone!!!

So after getting AF last month which I found surprisingly upsetting, we are onto the next month of trying. I've ovulated over the last few days and we have been having sex twice a day every day, sometimes three times. If it doesn't work then I've no idea what more we can do!

I've always fallen pregnant first time every time with my other children (different relationships from my amazing fiance now), but it took my fiance and his ex wife 5 years to conceive their daughter (however, not known if this was an issue with him, her, or whether she continued to take the pill in private).

The waiting is awful. I don't like wishing my life away each month, or the obsession I feel with testing.

We have given ourselves until May, due to our ages. If it doesn't happen before then then we will stop trying. If we have another miscarriage then we won't try again for another baby.

Hoping you're all doing well xxx

MrsC89 · 31/12/2019 09:52

@mrsio thank you. I used the clear blue, still nothing on it, but also no AF. Post hasnt arrived yet, so not sure if the FRER will be here today.

mrsio · 31/12/2019 09:35

@GeminiCancer I'm sorry to hear that. I'll keep everything crossed for this cycle 🤞🤞🤞
I'm not feeling too bad thanks. Just really tired. Waiting for the symptoms to hit any day. Trying to enjoy not having them whilst also not panicking that I don't have any!

mrsio · 31/12/2019 09:31

@MrsC89 I know I should tell you to wait a couple of days and see if AF shows. But in reality I would defo be taking one of the tests today if it were me. I'll keep everything crossed for you 🤞🤞🤞

GeminiCancer · 31/12/2019 02:19

@Mrsio
I started bleeding 2 days ago.
This would have been when my period would have been due.
I'm assuming it was a false positive and the hcg hadn't left my system yet following m/c.

Try again soon xo
How are things with you? X

MrsC89 · 30/12/2019 19:44

@mrsio I have got another clear blue, but hesitant to use it. I should have some FRER arriving tomorrow in the post. Just a waiting game for me right now to see if AF does show!

mrsio · 30/12/2019 19:39

@GeminiCancer have you done any more tests?

mrsio · 30/12/2019 19:38

@MrsC89 I'm so sorry. It could be a chemical. Have you got any more tests to take?

mrsio · 30/12/2019 19:37

@itsbeenalongtime I'm pretty sure I can see I line!

MrsC89 · 30/12/2019 18:57

So little update from me, decided to test this morning again with FMU, couldn't get a FRER, but used a clear blue early detection. Couldn't see anything on it. AF was due today, no sign. So I'm thinking chemical?

Mangaroo · 30/12/2019 17:09

@itsbeenalongtime How exciting! 🤞🤞🤞

itsbeenalongtime · 30/12/2019 16:49

Thanks @Mangaroo Hopefully it'll be a little clearer in a few days 👏🏻

Mangaroo · 30/12/2019 16:31

@itsbeenalongtime I can see it clearly!!!

itsbeenalongtime · 30/12/2019 15:29

Inverted maybe shows it a little clearer?

itsbeenalongtime · 30/12/2019 13:43

Is it just wishful thinking or can anyone else see something?

@mumworkstudywine Exciting! We are also trying for the second. No luck yet but hopefully soon. 🤞

mumworkstudywine · 30/12/2019 09:32

Hi @Mangaroo! This will be my second, hubby's first. I have a 7y/o DS from a previous relationship :)

Mangaroo · 30/12/2019 08:16

Hello @mumworkstudywine ! Good luck, hope your bfp comes soon. Is this your first time ttc?
