Hi ladies anyone want to join me in a thread to chat about ttc this month? I’m currently on CD2.
A bit about me.

I’m 28 and TTC baby number 1. We’ve been trying for a year and a half now, I had 4 recurrent miscarriages in 2020 so hoping the next will stick. I’ve been given new medication to try next time.

@els10 that’s so kind! That would be great thank you so much. I know that feeling all too well. I don’t think I’ll be embracing it until I get to 12 weeks 🙈 xxxx

@Sallyjo27 you're a girl after my own heart with all those tests! Amazing to get a BFP on a cheapie too. I've (tentatively) joined a November due date Facebook group of women on here if you want to join, I'll send the link if you want to and when you're ready. I feel like I'm missing out on the first few weeks by denying I'm pregnant because I'm scared, so I'm embracing it!x

@els10 thank you, yes clexane injections, prednisolone, cyclogest and aspirin. I’ll be like a walking pharmacy lol but hopefully it will all work
I used a cheapie as I didn’t want to use another clearblue or frer but I’ve got more of each coming in the morning from Amazon lol xx

Ohhh @Sallyjo27 amazing!!! So happy for you. Which test did you use?! Do you know what medication you'll be given this time? I hope this is a lovely long pregnancy for you ❤️

So another update from the peeing on a stick addict....
I had this reading a while ago that I bought on Etsy “First we look at a month that will be significant in your fertility journey and for this I have got April. I only look 12 months ahead so this would be April this year. ..... Snow is somehow going to be significant around this pregnancy.” This is just a snip it of the reading as it’s quite long. Well last night was a full moon and it was the snow moon... and I’ve just had my bfp! I can’t believe it! Also April will be my 12 week scan- hopefully I’ll make it to that this time. I’ve got to ring my clinic tomorrow morning for my medication so hope it will work, 5th time lucky!! Xxx

@CycloGoose maybe I did

this is the clearblue early detect I did this afternoon. I held my wee and didn’t drink much. The line was very very thin and blue. Although I did take it apart the line was there before. I’m not sure if it’s a dye run though. I hate this limbo of the TWW 😩

How is everyone else doing?

@Sallyjo27

This is the FRER from yesterday. Bfn this morning I’ve worked my dates out a bit wrong 😂 I’m only 7dpo so it would be way to early to tell anyway I think.

@lucea87 I didn’t see that coming at all! It’s sooo good. Did you watch the post credits scene??? There was a white vision!!!

I know! I'm so excited for how it's going to end but at the same time don't want it to end.

Argh how frustrating with the test, perhaps just too early to show up.

I need to get better with temping, I keep forgetting. Need to be consistent!

minthumbugs · 28/02/2021 13:44

Hey @CycloGoose, still bleeding here! CD14. I have long cycles so usually would expect to ovulate around day 18ish but OPKs barely showing a line at all so think this month is a weird non starter tbh. How are you going, what CD are you on now? X

CycloGoose · 28/02/2021 11:56

If this morning was the same, maybe you ovulated earlier than you thought @Sallyjo27 ?

Sallyjo27 · 28/02/2021 11:52

@CycloGoose I could too. The one I did this morning was the same I think it’s an indent Or evap line though 😩. I bulk buy them off Amazon 😂😂

How are things with you today @minthumbugs ?

CycloGoose · 28/02/2021 10:09

Oh @Sallyjo27 just realised that was the one from yesterday not today. Still heaps of time! All these FRERs must be costing you a fortune!

CycloGoose · 28/02/2021 10:08

@Sallyjo27 I don't know if it's just me but I can see something on that. A very faint line? Sorry if that's weird.

@els10 @lucea87 😭 I don't think I have got any chance today. We're done in. My temperature has already risen so I'm pretty sure I have already ovulated and my app says only 6.5% chance today but 33% yesterday and 27% day before which are the days we DTD. I think it's TWW for us. Though could only be 10 days if last month is anything to go by!

els10 · 28/02/2021 09:46

I thought about doing SMEP but it looks exhausting! Both times I've got pregnant we've DTD the day I got a static on clear blue or a peak on OPKs, the day after and the day after. All other months were different because I was away with work, but the two months I got BFP's were the 3 in a row 🤗

@Sallyjo27 post a pic of the tests! Yes, we're up to date, loving it! We weren't so sure at first but it's definitely got better. When Agatha was stood there with her rabbit I froze 😂

@CycloGoose you can do it! Just a quickie 😂 if you'll regret it if you don't then definitely try. I'm trying to mentally prepare myself that it's going to be tough!

CycloGoose · 27/02/2021 23:28

Oh @lucea87 ohhh yes, that would be a long time to SMEP! We've almost done it but not sure I can face tomorrow (3rd day in a row) or the just in case one either. I'm done in!

@els10 very good signs. Hope all continues the same way. Well... With less drama!

Ooooooh @sallyjo27 keep us in the loop! Everything crossed for you and hope the progesterone pays off! Xxx

els10 · 27/02/2021 21:52

@Sallyjo27 yeah cheapies definitely aren't as sensitive! It just satisfies my craving to dip a stick though haha. I've never seen an FRER evap though.. I'm hoping you're onto something 🤞🏼

Sallyjo27 · 27/02/2021 21:46

@els10 I did lol I did one of each. The cheapie was completely negative so thinking the others must be evaps. In my previous pregnancies I’ve never really had a dark cheapie until 5 weeks when I’ve had dye stealers with clearblue or FRER

els10 · 27/02/2021 21:29

@CycloGoose Not sane, but I think that's all part of this process right?! Spotting has stopped, I've had none since Tuesday. Going to test on Thursday again, I hope so much it's nice and strong. Im constantly starving and have really sensitive nipples so let's hope this is all good signs!
@Sallyjo27 Use your cheapies!!

@lucea87 I’m obsessed with Wandavision!! And marvel! We had our table names at our wedding as the infinity stones 😂 did you watch the episode realised last night??

So I tested today 🙄🙈 I’m 7dpo and this there was an evap line on the FRER but there’s a definite line on the clear blue although it is faint I think it’s a dye run. I obviously love pissing my money away too 😂. I’m was going to try and not test until Monday but I’m. It going to lie, I’ll be testing again tomorrow 😂

@CycloGoose

I haven't really followed the marvel films *@lucea87* but glad you are enjoying.

CD 9 so you must be BD like rabbits too! 🐰🐰🐰🐰

😂😂 a little but I don't start OPKs until Wednesday, 34 day cycle over here. I should ovulate in around 11 days, we're doing SMEP this month so gonna be every other day from next Friday then 9,10,11th hopefully 🤞🏼 OH has had plenty warning
minthumbugs · 27/02/2021 18:46

@dulci379 you sound in a similar position as me! Except I haven't ovulated (don't think so anyway, no positive OPK). It's such a sinking feeling, especially when it's at an unexpected time!

My fingers are crossed for you. X
