Little bit of background -

Ladies, I have just had a wee, wiped and got EWCM so obviously checked inside and definitely more there!! Do you think I should DTD tonight? It's meant to be a non-SMEP day, but.... Xx

Congratulations @WellHurrahAndHuzzah 🎉🎉🎉💥 what beautiful news!

VP91x · 10/06/2020 19:08

@MichT4 haha, faint lines but mine went from nothing to massive peak with a few hours so, it will be the same I reckon this month.

@elliew818 ahh 😩 I love my steak rare-medium. Definitely heartbreaking to have it well done xx

@elliew818 it will just be nice to see the peak. Hopefully it will get my spirits up for a few days which will help with the start of the TWW too. It’s my first time with OPKs too, and as some of the girls have said they didn’t get their peak, in trying not to fret.

MichT4 · 10/06/2020 19:04

😂😂 @VP91x that made me laugh. What are your cheapies saying?

@chloedancer897 haha I’m surprised your OH didn’t say you’d better do a few more days to make sure 😜

elliew818 · 10/06/2020 19:03

@2020wish you are right, I'm just trying to talk myself down from symptom spotting. Although I do have all those things you mentioned but trying not to get my hopes up too much! Also I'd hold off aspirin until tomorrow to see what doc says but then I'd go ahead and take it after that because it is safe in pregnancy as far as I'm aware - someone correct me if I'm wrong though.
@MichT4 I know what you mean, I was really impatient getting my peak too, especially as this was first time using OPK so wasn't sure how well they'd work.
Welcome @bubblybon20 and sorry to you're finding yourself here after MC
@SmileyT yeah I did eat steak last night (cooked well done just in case which broke my heart a bit) so maybe that's the heartburn culprit!
@HopeForRainbowbaby I did have implantation bleed on my first MC which was unplanned - it was light but lasted about 4 days so thought I'd had a weird period because I'd not long been off the pill, so when I found out I was actually 10 weeks pregnant. Didn't have anything last 2 pregnancies though.

VP91x · 10/06/2020 19:02

@Rainbowhope11 😂😂😂I'm not surprised!! What time is it for you at the moment over there? Xx

OP posts:
VP91x · 10/06/2020 19:00

@SmileyT I got it from here, because they had it on promo www.ardobreastpumps.co.uk/shop/ferti-lily-conception-cup/

No, it's not negative! It's actually probably the best way to just test at 12dpo and be at peace with that result and look forward. Have you been okay today?
CB flashed again which is okay! Testing alongside the cheapies now. DTD last night - thought to myself here I am again with a cup inside me and pillow under my bum 😂 xx

OP posts:
Rainbowhope11 · 10/06/2020 18:59

Hahaha @VP91x let's hope 😂😂🤣 I'm giving it two more days and then I think I'm calling it quits for this round 🤣 I feel like I may break into pieces at this rate🤣🤣

WellHurrahAndHuzzah · 10/06/2020 18:57

@HopeForRainbowbaby we DTD every day that I got a flashing smiley (4 days in a row!) then again the day of the static smiley, then 2 days later. We were utterly exhausted at the end of all that Grin but seems to have done the trick!!!

As a bit of background, I got pregnant first time on cycle 9 or 10, then had a MMC. Waited a couple of months to start trying again, and this time it took maybe 5 cycles to conceive?

I have absolutely everything crossed for some more BFPs on this thread. Flowers

chloedancer897 · 10/06/2020 18:51

@SmileyT are you tempted to test before Friday? Fingers crossed for you xo

SmileyT · 10/06/2020 18:44

@VP91x yeah was halfway between post ovulation temps and ovulation temp and I know it may seem negative but it's just better for me to focus on next month then hope the result was wrong... where did you get your fertilily cup from? Boots? What did your CB say today? x

@Ejb86 @Rainbowhope11 @Niisa @peonyrose87 @HopeForRainbowbaby @elliew818 @MichT4 @2020wish @HE88 thanks lovelies nice to be able to share with you guys when the whole process is so lonely. I think the cheapies would pick up something at 11/12dpo and will definitely be stocking up on some more goodies this month ☺️

@Hayleylou89 AF due on Friday and can feel it's not my month but I'm still positive it will happen for me... how are you feeling? X

@1990EM really hoping you get a different answer to me, everything crossed for you xx

@HopeForRainbowbaby I did have it in my head that 2 days before is the best time but can't remember where I read that so it's good to know 👌🏾

Congrats @WellHurrahAndHuzzah 🥳

VP91x · 10/06/2020 18:44

@chloedancer897 ohhh there you go even better but you more likely ovulated on the Saturday so you would have been covered anyway. Stay positive for this month ❤️❤️

OP posts:
chloedancer897 · 10/06/2020 18:41

@MichT4 I don't think we've ever DTD this much 😂😂 I'm too old for this!

VP91x · 10/06/2020 18:41

@MichT4 yeah still flashy so day 2 now, that's not too bad. I'll still be here on day 10 😂.. Crying haha xx

OP posts:
chloedancer897 · 10/06/2020 18:40

@VP91x thanks. I just rang my husband in tears saying we did it all wrong and he reminded me that we also DTD on Sunday (2 days post static smiley) so now I'm feeling a bit more positive. This TWW is the worst. My head is all over the place

VP91x · 10/06/2020 18:37

@MichT4 I definitely think you're peaking today, at the very latest tomorrow morning. Test again at 10pm after a hold!

But crazy that Femometer hasn't put that into your peak window. Xx

OP posts:
MichT4 · 10/06/2020 18:36

@chloedancer897 I’m no expert on these ovu tests but I think it sounds like you’re more than covered. Your first static is the one you’d use to start your DTD streak, so you’re all good 💦🤞🏼

MichT4 · 10/06/2020 18:34

@VP91x I just took another photo in the kitchen and it says 64 now. Even though I’d say it’s faded and it’s probably too much time past now. Should have taken it in the kitchen earlier maybe.

I might try another one at 8, but I’ve had a drink so not sure how good it’ll be.

I feel like even though I haven’t ovulated, I’ve hit the point in the month where time slows down 😂

Is yours still flashing at you? Xx

VP91x · 10/06/2020 18:22

@MichT4 I can't believe femometer is still reading that as just high! It's getting so dark. It should at least in the higher numbers? Have you tried taking a pic in a different light or a couple of times?

@2020wish if it isn't a risk to take the aspirin and it potentially might help this cycle then maybe give it a go?

@chloedancer897 yeah when you get your static you ovulate within 12-36hrs. Don't bother taking another CB test as it won't read anything until 48hrs later and it resets itself anyway! It sounds like you've covered it well!! Don't stress 😊

Xx

2020wish · 10/06/2020 17:43

Thanks everyone yes I’ll update when I get speaking to my doctor tomorrow morning and see what she advises. @HopeForRainbowbaby I got my first extremely extremely faint line 9dpo last time and proper faint line 10dpo. And yes just normal low dose aspirin 150mg

HopeForRainbowbaby · 10/06/2020 17:36

@2020wish haha exactly. I got positive with last pregnancy at 9dpo( light line but it was there).
@bubblybon20 welcome to the group! I'm sorry about your story and wishing you and all ladies rainbow babies asap😘 @WellHurrahAndHuzzah have started the positive this month, let's join her ❤️

@ManchNic head up! You are not out until period. When I had my first MC, I have asked the midwife, whether I should expect the same pregnancy ( I had only sore boobs and occasional pain in pelvic area-around 4/5 weeks)..and she answers that every pregnancy is different and you might go through next pregnancy differently.

@2020wish im sorry to hear about your bleeding. I hope you get the proper care ❤️but it looks like you do have all figured out and there is very easy treatment to help with your clotting. Is this just normal aspirin?

@chloedancer897 to me it sounds like you are covered too. It takes one swimmer, and you can get be successful with dtd 5/6 days before your ovulation and not doing it again😘

Dizzy201 · 10/06/2020 17:32

@2020wish fingers crossed you get some more answers so you can adjust accordingly for your best chance of sticky bean x

Have any of you read its all about the egg? That also has supplement recommendations for recurring miscarriage and other scenarios when trying, I found it quite technical but also interesting and something I'm trying myself

HE88 · 10/06/2020 17:28

@chloedancer897 I followed the SMEP plan the cycle I fell pregnant. I think you might be overthinking it, if you have dtd 5 days in a row with 2 of them being the day of your static smiley and the day after it sounds like you are pretty much covered. 😀 Xx

chloedancer897 · 10/06/2020 17:28

@HE88 thank you so much. That's really helpful. I have the femometer OPKs in my basket and will order another CB. I'm due to test on 20th so if that's a BFN (now I think it will be), I'll try this method. Thank you again x
