Hi we are hoping TTC this month. Right at the beginning of my cycle. Taking my first folic acid tablet today. Do you hues have any tips. Let start our journeys together :) we have been trying on and off with no joy. This month we want to give it a real shot! Any help and experiences will be amazing. Is there anyone in the same boat? It's so heart breaking to see the lonely line so let support each other to the double line of happiness:) x

@Donnat89 Thank you!

I completely get everything you’ve just said. It’s so exhausting living in two week chunks and then some months it just all catches up with you. X

Donnat89 · 17/04/2020 17:42

@EightMilesHigh yes that's right - don't worry you will get the hang of it took me a while to put together what they all meant !

Yea I don't know what's up with me I'm usually pretty positive and just get on with it but I don't feel as if I'm coping well this month at all . X

EightMilesHigh · 17/04/2020 17:40

Hi @Donnat89 Really sorry you’re feeling so down... This whole thing is so so hard isn’t it. Is vvfl a very very faint line? (Sorry I’m new to al the acronyms) Everything crossed for you to get some good news soon. X

EightMilesHigh · 17/04/2020 17:36

That’s true @Juno231... I am a sucker for clinging on to outside chances but I do feel like this is AF. Exciting for you that it came and went away though... could really be an implantation bleed! 🤞🏼

Donnat89 · 17/04/2020 17:35

Hi can I join ? I already know @Juno231 !

I'm 10DPO today and just feeling crap and generally down .

We have now been TTC for a year after a miscarriage at 14 weeks last March.

Did a test today and BFN on FRER and a vvfl on IC however I'm pretty sure I'm out this month got the usually AF backache and I just feel crappy . I could sit and cry today I swear .

I plan on testing again in a couple days just want this cycle over with now xxx

Juno231 · 17/04/2020 17:28

@eightmileshigh tbf if you only implanted yesterday today could've been too early to test! I'm now going bonkers cause I've had no more blood since my FMU so have no clue what's going on anymore!

EightMilesHigh · 17/04/2020 17:05

Hi all! I think I’m with you @Juno231 ... AF not due til Sunday but started spotting yesterday so am 2/3days early too. Did an early pregnancy test as was hoping it might be an implantation bleed but test was a BFN so I’m out for this month. Had really hoped this might be my lucky month 😔

Fingers crossed yours is an implantation bleed @Factualmistakes!

Minster2012 · 17/04/2020 12:33

Morning!
AF for me arrived at the beginning of the week, very weird, literally one day spotting, one flow & one tiny spotting. So now CD5 for me so I’m on may bus now 🤞🏻

Juno231 · 17/04/2020 12:08

Looks like I'm out for the month - got some bright red blood this morning so think AF is 2-3 days early! Will be hopping on to the May bus in case I see any of you there!

Factualmistakes · 17/04/2020 10:42

Good morning everyone I hope you are all well.

I am in my 2WW but yesterday started spotting - AF not due until next week. Hoping it might be implantation bleeding but trying not to get my hopes up. My cycle went a bit weird last month so it could also mean AF is on the way early.

@Minster2012 any sign of AF for you?

@Babybump0 have you taken any more tests?

Minster2012 · 13/04/2020 13:45

No it would be a good thing for me @Eightmileshigh then I’d know I’m at the start of a cycle at least! I’m all over the place so want to know the start & get going 😂but today nothing on the AF front so only some spotting yesterday now nothing 🤦🏼‍♀️So even that’s messed up

EightMilesHigh · 13/04/2020 13:16

Aah sorry to hear that @Minster2012 ♥️

I think you’re right- I would do CD1 today if it was just super light spotting yesterday.

Minster2012 · 12/04/2020 11:08

Thank you, happy Easter to all!
For my Easter present my AF appeared earlier than I anticipated so I’m unsure yet if it’s full flow or spotting, I wiped blood after the loo so do we think tomorrow for CD1?

Factualmistakes · 10/04/2020 12:13

@Minster2012 welcome and good luck. You soon get used to all the acronyms.

@Babybump0 - Exciting! Hopefully that line becomes stronger for you.

I should have ovulated sometime this week, my OPK tests have been pretty vague annoyingly. So it's the 2ww for me now again.

EightMilesHigh · 09/04/2020 22:12

Welcome @Minster2012! Keeping everything crossed for you! (Ps. I’m also getting lost in the acronyms... There are SO many I don’t know!)

@Babybump0 that’s exciting!! Hope it turns into a nice strong one for you over the next few days! 🤞🏼

Babybump0 · 09/04/2020 21:58

Awwww thanks juno shame i have a faded bfp i think xx

Juno231 · 09/04/2020 21:45

@Babybump0 I think you need to have been a member for X amount of time before it let's you post pics.

Minster2012 · 09/04/2020 21:43

Ps 🤞🏻🤞🏻Good luck @Killerwhale123 xx

Minster2012 · 09/04/2020 21:42

Hi ladies can I join please?

TTC for our 2nd (DS 20 months) but due to a complicated history of skin cancer & 10 years of chemo/immunotherapy I didn’t carry him, my best friend carried him as a host surrogate for us (anyone watching The Nest on tv, like that but obs not a stranger! Genetically all ours!) anyway, I had IVF in nov, was pregnant then had miscarriage so now might as well TTC again whilst clinics on lockdown too

Only ever had one period since I was 17 that was in nov before IVF (36 in July) due to chemo & contraception so totally new to all this. Am hoping the miscarriage kick starts my system but 🤷‍♀️. Have ordered OPKs, but don’t even know if I ovulate during AF.
Same as a lot of you I’m learning about acronyms, ovulation, OPKs, ECWM all of it so strange!! 😂🤦🏼‍♀️🤞🏻🤞🏻

Killerwhale123 · 09/04/2020 21:06

Thankyou so much! I will test tomorrow fingers crossed!!😊

EightMilesHigh · 09/04/2020 20:43

And thanks for welcoming us new-joiners @Factualmistakes! I’m now in my TWW for cycle 2... should be able to test When AF is due around the 19th. Really hoping for that BFP! 🙏🏼 Where’s everyone else at?

EightMilesHigh · 09/04/2020 20:40

@Killerwhale123 I would test again as you’re five days late... and then again 48hrs later if it’s showing as negative.

I had this last month- ended up 7 days late but negative tests all the way along... And then sadly for me AF showed up 😔 But it’s definitely worth checking as being late can obviously mean you might be pregnant! Fingers crossed for you!!

Babybump0 · 09/04/2020 19:35

It wont let me post it strange

Fertility1 · 09/04/2020 19:27

@Babybump0 there's a paperclip you need to click on to attach a pic

Fertility1 · 09/04/2020 19:27

@Killerwhale123 I would take a test as your 5 days late.
