Who is testing soon?

@Fluffygreyjumper
I'm not doing great sadly. I went for my 12wk scan on Wednesday and found out my little one didn't make it. I had a scan at 7wks and all was well but very soon after baba stopped growing. I'm a bit lost. Baby is still in my tummy so I don't think it's sunk in yet. I'm a bit lost. I hope you are all doing well and things have gone much better for the lucky bfps on here xxx

@Curiosity101 thank you!
I'm such an overthinker and want to be pregnant so badly.
You do hear crazy stories about periods and being pregnant but think I'm just overreacting as usual!
I will see how I feel in a few days and maybe test if no better by the weekend.

@Sparkles512 I'd assume you've picked up a stomach bug or possibly eaten something that doesn't agree with you? You could take a pregnancy test to double-check though?

Congratulations ladies!
Need some advice...
Yesterday I started bleeding so thought my period is here we will just start again!
Today I'm still bleeding but have been sick which never happens... Could I be pregnant? Or am I just reading too much into this and my period is making me sick?

@hels301990 thank you so much x

@Idreamof2more amazing news congratulations!

I daren’t take a seat in here. Too much baby dust, it might be catching lol.

Congratulations to those of you with the news you wanted.

@DeeDee20 thank you so much 💓

@Idreamof2more absolutely amazing news!!!! I’m so happy for you!!!! Xx

I’m in shock!! 😭😁🙏💓💙

@CJ2021hey! I started ttc my first at 33 too and I had no idea about any of this and we’ve been trying for 7 months now.
I found the Flo app was getting my ovulation dates way out so now use CB ovulation sticks. But I’m still learning about luteal phase and when is best to test etc.
Fingers crossed for us both and everyone.

After today I feel particularly down but speaking on here and with others makes me feel less alone in this journey. Xx

Hey girls hope you don’t mind me joining in here, first time on this site and first time TTC. How at the age of 33 am I only just learning about the two week wait I’ll never know, but I already hate it!!!

I’ve been tracking my cycle on flo for a while, my ovulation was day 14 of cycle and I’m expecting AF on 10th Jan. How soon can I test?! Any recommendations for best tests? I feel clueless!

I’ve been feeling strange this week, felt a bit travel sick / literally can not stop burping lol and have a really congested nose?! I’m scared I’m imagining these things and partner is telling me to be patient and that these things could be down to anything. But I just want to know!!!

@Curiosity101 I just write the peaks in the Flo app as I don’t think there is somewhere where I can specifically put it in?! My cycles are down as an average 29 days.

Just worked out my last luteal was 18 days and before that was 14 days. Makes some sense I guess as I peaked on cd21 this month and cd16 last month.
God I feel like I’m getting myself in knots with all of this, that’s why we Dtd every other day for 2 weeks in Dec xxx

@DeeDee20 Did you input all your CB ovulation peaks into Flo? If not then Flo will be assuming you have a 'standard' 28-day cycle where you ovulate on CD14. That will be why it says you're late when you're not.

Your luteal phase is the number of days after ovulation and before your period starts. So (I think) if you get to 12DPO and then the next day your period arrives then you have a 12-day luteal phase. I can't quite remember for sure if it's inclusive of the day your period arrives or not but I don't think it is.

If you have ovulation data and period arrival dates for previous cycles then you can work yours out. The day after your peak is assumed to be ovulation day. Then just count how many days after that it was until your period arrived. It should be about the same every cycle. Normally the variation in cycle length comes from ovulation happening at a different time.

@Curiosity101honestly thank you so much for your reply. This feels so lonely and i feel like I have no one to talk to about this.
I’m using the Flo app to track periods and it says I’m late. Im so confused.
How do I work out the luteal phase?
Last month I got a peak on cd16 and the month before that cd13, cd13 before that too. Xx

@DeeDee20 Hopefully you get your BFP but if you don't then the good news is you can work out your luteal phase length. Then you'll know for sure in future if you're late or not.

You're only 10DPO at the moment so plenty of time yet to get a BFP.

The average luteal phase is 12-14 days so it's also likely your period isn't due for 2-4 more days.

🤞🤞🤞

@Curiosity101 thank you for your reply. I feel so rubbish right now. We DTD every other day for 2 weeks to make sure we cover it all. I’ve been using CB ovulation sticks for many months. I got my peak on cd21 and we had DTD cd20, cd21, cd22 and cd24Xxx

*found it really useful

@DeeDee20 Sorry to see your update 😔. I really recommend OPKs for avoiding situations like this. For me I found bit really useful to know when I'd ovulated so that I also knew when I could test and would also know for sure if I was late for my period or not.

🤞 Wishing you luck.

Ah ladies I just tested and BFN. I just don’t understand what’s going on. My periods never go over cd30. Last month was cd34 and that weird period and now I’m on cd32.i have mild cramping in the morning but nothing like my usual PMS. Why is this so heartbreaking xxx

AF paid me a visit this morning.
Disappointed but at least I can start again.
On wards and upwards!
Fingers crossed for you all 🤞

@DeeDee20 me too lovely. 💓

@Idreamof2more good luck!!! I really hope this is it for us. Xx

@DeeDee20 no af today see what happens this weekend xx
