Hi all,

Now in my TWW. We have been trying for DC #2 since October 19 and I had a chemical early March.

I usually use Clearblue Dig Ovulation tests but this month I just used cheapie OPK's.

Fingers and toes crossed 🤞🏻

Would love you hear all of your TTC stories.

@lostfrequencies sorry to hear that, my fingers are crossed for you next month.

@Chan098 I would do it from spotting if that’s normal for you.

Chan098 · 02/05/2020 18:29

Hi just wondering if anyone could help when doing a online pregnancy calculator it say do it from last period dose that mean when your spotting or full flow

lostfrequencies · 02/05/2020 17:19

@nannon145 ah thanks so much for asking. After all that I had a BFN on an FRER this morning so will stop testing now.

Nannon145 · 02/05/2020 16:39

Sorry to hear that @Fueledwithfairydustandgin. Just think positive thoughts for next month now ❤️

@lostfrequencies how are you getting on?

Fueledwithfairydustandgin · 02/05/2020 15:47

4 days late but eventually AF came so that’s me out

lostfrequencies · 01/05/2020 08:48

My cycles are really erratic, they can be between 30-40 days long, but usually around 32. Today is CD 31.

Jaylou7 · 01/05/2020 08:44

Hi @lostfrequencies when is your af due? X

lostfrequencies · 01/05/2020 07:57

It's my third day of a barely there line and I can feel that familiar stomach ache coming on so I think I'm out Sad

@Nannon145 thanks. Will try and get some although AF still isn’t here so I have no idea what’s going on

Sammyclaire22 · 30/04/2020 23:26

I know I'm.late to this thread but just wanted to say I'm in the same boat as you @KSI88.... started ttc no2 Oct 2019 and chemical in early March as well. Just starting my fertile week (I think- ive decided to drop testing this month)

Nannon145 · 30/04/2020 22:55

@Fueledwithfairydustandgin I use Easy@Home and they’re a lot clearer than the ones I used to use - so I would recommend them!

DontStandSoClose · 30/04/2020 22:24

Annoyingly I know pretty much exactly when I ovulate normally (day 11) I get pains on one side and have done for years. It’s never gone to a second month of actually trying for a baby so it’s a bit odd talking about tracking this month for next month etc.

I contemplated ordering some cheap test strips off amazon and said to my husband earlier and he looked at me like do we really need that? Generally we don’t but I am tempted now. We have been relaxed before and only actually had sex a couple of times around the right time and it’s worked, I would just carry on like this but I don’t actually know when the right time is argh!!

Fueledwithfairydustandgin · 30/04/2020 21:35

Which ovulation tests do people recommend?

incywincyspiders · 30/04/2020 21:29

@DontStandSoClose ahh no lovely :( I'm so so sorry! have you thought about tracking your ovulation? I used the cheapy ovulation tests last month and although I didn't conceive last month, it made easier to know when to put the effort into sex etc. I would recommend it. Yes it's frustrating to keep up testing everyday but at least you will know exactly when you ovulate!

Nannon145 · 30/04/2020 20:54

@nlm82 if I were you, I’d wait until you have missed your period. Sometimes you can get that positive beforehand and then go through a chemical pregnancy and it’s horrible. If you can, I’d wait if I were you. I wish I had before I went through this.

@DontStandSoClose I’m sorry to hear this, I really am. Maybe you could use OPK strips just for the first month or 2 just so you can really understand when your ovulation day is so you can focus baby dancing around that day?

DontStandSoClose · 30/04/2020 19:48

I’ve decided to rejoin this group, I found out I was pregnant 2 weeks ago but it doesn’t look like it’s worked out, I’m only just 6 weeks though so it could be worse. We were only on the first month of trying so I shouldn’t be too down hearted, just a little annoying now as I have no idea when I’m going to be fertile and don’t have the time or energy to have sex all month long (we have a 4 and 2 year old already). I’ve never had to monitor or measure anything as I’ve literally just had sex around ovulation and fallen pregnant. I’m not convinced it’ll be so easy this month now, I really don’t want to get sucked into obsessing over it, that’s never been my/our approach, but equally we don’t have the energy for sex every other day lol! I’ve no idea when I’m meant to test negative for this pregnancy too, it was still blindingly positive yesterday.

@nlm82 I wait for my period to not show up, I understand why people can’t wait but it isn’t conclusive either way testing at 7dpo and getting a negative test.

nlm82 · 30/04/2020 18:17

How early/dpo do people test?

Fueledwithfairydustandgin · 30/04/2020 17:05

@Nannon145 fingers crossed you get a lovely birthday present next month

nlm82 · 30/04/2020 16:20

I still have 10 days before I can text and I can't think of anything else, not sure I'll cope with this much longer if it's negative Sad

Jaylou7 · 30/04/2020 16:01

Thank you so much @mia22221 how lovely of you 💕🙏

mia22221 · 30/04/2020 15:06

@Jaylou7 congratulations I'm so happy for you! Thought id come back on nearly at my 2 week wait and was so happy to see your results all my prayers are with u ❤️❤️❤️

Jaylou7 · 30/04/2020 14:12

I wish you all the luck in the world for your next cycle. Sounds like you have got your head in a strong position. On to the next month! 💕

Nannon145 · 30/04/2020 13:50

I’m just taking it now as this is my 1st day of my period. I’m forgetting the pregnancy tests I’ve taken and I will 100% not be testing early next month because I would hate for the same thing to happen again. I will only test from now on if I am 1 day late for my period - and that is a promise. No more POAS addict because it has been too heartbreaking this month & if I hadn’t have done it, I wouldn’t of even known about them positive pregnancy tests.
If, by a miracle, I stop bleeding in the next day or 2 then I will test to make sure I’m definitely not pregnant but I just can’t see that happening.
So here’s to next month, fingers crossed that May is my lucky month. It is my birthday right around where my ovulation date should fall so that would be a perfect birthday present for me 🤞🏻

Nannon145 · 30/04/2020 11:17

It’s only when I wipe but it is turning red now 💔 not looking good is it 😫

lostfrequencies · 30/04/2020 11:17

@nannon145 I think mine was brownish discharge like you've described, there wasn't lots of it but it was worrying enough. Have you got lots or is it only when you wipe?
