Little bit of background -
Cycle #3 TTC after MC in December
This month doing SMEP, tracking BBT and OV (CB advanced and Femometer strips), also drowning myself in grapefruit juice 😂 and will take Calc Fluor in TWW.

@Chickoletta I agree with @Hayleylou89, it's still early so don't write yourself off yet. And if it is negative this month then look after yourself and please don't give yourself a hard time. It will happen, and if you decide you don't want to try any more then that's also fine - and it probably then will happen anyway! Sending hugs!

@Nellle Welcome! Sorry for your loss, and that you've had a tough month. Keep positive though. It's so hard as we all ust hope it'll be really quick. I was the same in that I came off the pill in November and fell pregnant in Feb - not really trying too hard. So I was hopeful it would be quick too. I'm sure it doesn't help, because sometimes when I hear it I want to hit someone, but I think we have to try and trust in our bodies that it will happen when the timing is right.

Eugh, so sorry for using that cliche. Do as I say and not as I do Hmm

Fingers are tightly crossed that it will be all of our lucky months soon xx

Hi everyone, I'm Nelle - can I join?

Been lurking for a while, reading many of your stories, the daily ups and downs of TTC. I'm sorry to everyone for their losses ❤️💐 If it is very recent for you, please handle yourself with care and don't put too much pressure on ♥️♥️♥️

I'm 34, we lost our pregnancy at 11 weeks (spontaneous and painful) in September 2018. We then waited a bit and have now been trying since September 2019. It's getting really tough now, I suppose I treated the MC as confirmation that I was fertile and that it would only take a few months, but nothing so far.

I think I've posted finally because this month has really got me. Worked reeeeeally hard on conceiving this month - I know my cycle well and DTD like it was going out of fashion.

I'm on day 28 of a 30 day cycle. Already done about 3 First Response tests and I've lost hope for this month. Feeling blue.

Hoping to get some grit from all the kindness and solidarity in here. Everyone seems very supportive and I have everything crossed for all of you 🤞🤞🤞

Hayleylou89 · 12/06/2020 09:05

@Chickoletta u could still be in and ur early bfp last time could have been with it being so much hcg with it being 2? Dont give up hope as AF isnt here 🙏 xx

Chickoletta · 12/06/2020 08:34

Thanks all. AF is due on Weds so this is the first day I could test with a FRER - 5 days before AF due based on a 28 day cycle. I’m 9/10 dpo.

First period after MC was 20th May - 33 days after start of MC.

I suppose there is a slim chance that it’s just too early if my cycles are going to be longer or something but really, I think I’m out.

Last time (with the twins I lost) I had a super clear BFP on CD 24, which is today and that was just in the middle of the day. Stark white today with FMU.

I’m ok. I just really believed that I would be super fertile after the MC and be pregnant again soon.

I need to lick my wounds a bit but I think next cycle will be our last of TTC before we give up and count our blessings. We are so lucky to have 2 amazing children already.

Hayleylou89 · 12/06/2020 08:28

@Niisa asda own are 4 days before so technically they would work now for u too if AF is due monday they are only £3.50 for 2 🙏... sorry im
Excited for u to test haha x 😂

HE88 · 12/06/2020 08:27

@Niisa I'm 8dpo today but would have been 7dpo yesterday when I had that cm. Your symptoms sound promising good luck testing 😀. Xx

@chickoletta and @MissyBate sorry it was a bfn this morning. Xx

Hayleylou89 · 12/06/2020 08:24

Morning girls sorry to hear if the bfn this morning hoping its too early for u guys 🙏

@Niisa very hopeful for ur bfp... have u got IC mine did show ever so faint on cheapies so maybe give it a go they should be notnfar if the same sensitivity as a frer think frer is approx 6 miu and cheapy is 10miu. xx best of luck either way xx

VP91x · 12/06/2020 08:13

@MichT4 no don't doubt that you're ovulating. You'll be fine and you'll see it!!

Yeah going to go for it, starting today! Xx

OP posts:
MichT4 · 12/06/2020 08:10

@VP91x ooh interesting, maybe things are still happening then. I’m getting worried I’m just not ovulating! I did read on our trusty friend google that temps can drop pre ovulation so my few downward days might be that.
I have no idea why I’m pretending I know what’s going on

What’s your plan with your deficit? Have you decided what to do yet?

VP91x · 12/06/2020 08:04

@MichT4 haha I thought that too but 50 are definitely only enough for a month 👀

OP posts:
VP91x · 12/06/2020 08:03

@MissyBate really sorry it was a BFN 😔 when is AF due? Take this weekend to re set and focus on next month. Sending you hugs ❤️

@MichT4 my oral BBT temps are always around 35.8-36.10 at the most pre-ovulation. It might be right then for Sunday!! Xx

OP posts:
MichT4 · 12/06/2020 08:00

Can I just say that when I bought those OPKs I thought that 50 would last me months. At this rate, I’ll have to buy so many boxes, I’ll have enough of the PG tests that come with them to test every day for the whole 9 months 😂😂

MichT4 · 12/06/2020 07:54

@elliew818 😂 sorry, but that did make me chuckle this morning. Damn Google! If anyone looked at my search history from the last few months....😳

MichT4 · 12/06/2020 07:53

@MissyBate sorry for your negative. I’ve forgotten everyone’s dates - how many DPO?

@VP91x, my temps are still low, they’ve been dropping very slightly each day for the last few days -35.99 this morning (sounds low but they say skin temp is lower than oral).
Both my RHR and breathing rate have been dropping and last night they both started to creep up so maybe the Ava will show me some trends in the next few days. The app I use which seems to predict AF well is saying ovu on Sunday, so maybe that was right all along, or maybe the OPKs peaked a couple of days ago. Who bloody knows 😂

elliew818 · 12/06/2020 07:48

@Chickoletta you're 10/11 DPO right? Still might be early!
Think I might be out too this month, woke up and wiped. Wasn't brown or blood but can only be described as caramel coloured 🧐 so will spend about an hour googling that today I'm sure!

VP91x · 12/06/2020 07:44

@MichT4 ooh, what was your temp this morning? Has Ava offered any insight? Xx

OP posts:
VP91x · 12/06/2020 07:44

Hey @Chickoletta ah I'm sorry it was a BFN. What did you test on/DPO are you? Do you have a pic xx

OP posts:
MissyBate · 12/06/2020 07:43

@Chickoletta Sorry to hear that. It is so disappointing.

I’ve just done a FRER and I’m out too. Really hoped it could’ve just been easy and I’d get caught the first month of trying again but it wasn’t meant to be. Nothing is ever just easy, it’s shit.

On to next month I suppose.

2020wish · 12/06/2020 07:40

@MichT4 @chloedancer897 @VP91x thanks :)

@Diorissimo1985 I always started mine around cycle day 8 :) so I would say In a day or two.

@Niisa ohh I think you should take it tomorrow morning lol

@chickoletta sorry I’m completely taken a mind blank.. how many days dpo are you?

MichT4 · 12/06/2020 07:39

I don’t know where the rest of tour name went, but that was for you @Chickoletta

MichT4 · 12/06/2020 07:39

@VP91x I did one this morning and it looked a little fainter, still came up 25 and high. Not sure if it’s declining or because it’s FMU, so I’ll keep POAS 🙄😂. I feel like I have more CM flow but then I always get confused what’s what after DTD (nice early Friday TMI)

@ so sorry it was negative. When is AF due? It’s so difficult, especially when you’ve felt symptoms.

Chickoletta · 12/06/2020 07:31

BFN for me this morning despite all of the ‘symptoms’ I thought I was having. So disappointed. Ah well, just got to get on with things I guess.

VP91x · 12/06/2020 07:28

@MichT4 Morning! 😊

Ugh, yeah flashing away at me!! How are your OPKs xx

MichT4 · 12/06/2020 07:24
