TTC March / April

N

thought I would share my line from last night, found out that my HCG raises evening time for some reason haha, going to do my last one ever tonight and give it a break, what’s yours like?😄 @marcella64

Hi guys, hope I can jump on the bandwagon as well? TTC since November last year, but cycles all over the place (down to 16 days on some occasions). Last month was the first where I got a positive OPK and cycle was semi-normal.
CD1 just had bloods done for day 1 and back for day 21 (although hard to predict).
Could do with some online support as non of my friends are anywhere close to the baby making stage (even though I’m 32!).

@marcella64 hahhah he thinks I’m crazy 😂 he’s like ‘ you know you’re pregnant what’s the point keep spending money on tests’ and I’m like ‘because I like seeing the line progressing go away’😂😂

@Charm23 thank you! It’s more visible today on the cheapies 😄

If my cycle is 34 days, my last period was on the 16/2 which was around 5 weeks ago, does that make me 5 weeks in or is it still 4 weeks? So confused about this one! X

Hello all 👋 hope you don't mind me jumping in, you all seem a friendly supportive bunch.

Little bit about me, I am currently on CD4 of TTC month 4, 31 with only 1 ovary and tube so a little daunting 😰.

Started temping and using the CB advanced OPK last month so have a good sign on when I ovulate (static smileys were CD14/15 & temp drop 16)

Last month was a bit of tease as I stared to spot from 6 DPO which has never ever happened to me before, but as it went on for the full week (also super strange for me) I knew it wasn't implantation, plus took a couple of tests to be BFN. Then AF showed anyways on CD27. I started pregnacare conception vits last month and since read the spotting happened to others while on them?! Not sure if it's the case but I'm going to leave them for now, didn't like the false hope.

Sending lots of positive vibes and baby dust all round! Huge congrats for the BFP's and hugs and kisses for those going through a tough time ❤️

@Slinks8113 good luck! Hopefully your man will be able to DTD 😉 x

@CycloGoose sorry to hear about your loss, big hugs for you and hope you’re alright x

@kaylsd Oh how precious is your dog! And how crazy is this... my dog also turned 2 yesterday! He had doggy beer, cupcake and popcorn and a splash in the sea! x

@CycloGoose I'm so sorry, look after yourself xx Are they going to keep an eye on the cyst and rescan you in a few months? I had a cyst grow on my fallopian tube right next to my ovary during pregnancy and had surgery to have it removed recently because it had grown to 15cm+

@Laurashakey What a beautiful strong line! :D Ah it brings back memories! I was in such denial for a good week at least! haha Congrats! x

@marcella64 Wow that is such a lovely dark line! Congrats! x

I'm feeling quite good about this month. DTD on 4 out of 6 FW days. I don't actually know when I ovulate so I suppose I'll just wait to test when AF is due which is... 12 more days!

Aww @CycloGoose just because it's so common doesn't take anything away from your experience. It's your circumstances and your angel. Have all the ugly crying/wine/chocolate/duvet days/screaming into the void you need and all your online sisters are here for you. X

Sorry @kaylsd I didn't see your message. I don't think my phone realised there was a whole new page!
We're gutted, I'm doing some ugly crying but there's so many ladies here who've struggled, are struggling etc etc. I'm not special in any way. It's so common.
I'm just letting myself feel my feelings but I've got a brand new set of PJs and tomorrow is a new day.
I'm really sorry you're having a tough time. I don't know how you manage all those days in a row!
Your numbers don't sound annovulatory to me but I'm no expert. Your rise is still 0.3. much bigger than my jump. I think stress is a big factor too. I'm here being a cheerleader for you anyway! Everything crossed.

Thank you all for your support and kindness and sorry not to reply to everyone individually. I've read everything! Lots of BFPs to celebrate and lots of fingers crossed, too xxx

@Laurashakey ahhha!!!😂 I was like that with number 2, I sent oh a link for Superdrug and told him to pay for them so I could click n collect 🙈 I hope to see some more lovely lines on here tomorrow x

@marcella64 girlll I’ve been testing every day 😂😄 they are getting darker so I am quite pleased. DF thinks I’m crazy spending money on all those tests haha

@CycloGoose so sorry ❤️ this month will be our month!!!

@kaylsd I've only been trying since Xmas but thankfully gp still took me seriously. Got my day 3 bloods done today as well as every other blood profile under the sun 😂 back again for day 21!

@kaylsd Thankyou ☺️ , it slowly sinking in. I did one opk this month, it wasn't quite positive. I just couldn't be bothered with it all, we had some great sex that week... no pressure of babies and boom! I have worried about my fertility, I'm 31 next week...my last baby was at 24 so I thought I'd be a bit rusty lol. Praying we get a sticky bean.

@Laurashakey will you be doing any more tests? I'm going to do another one Thursday then if I still get a good line a digital at the weekend. Xx

Lots of love to everyone xxx

Thank you for our mabes birthday wishes she litterally had the most pampered day but I think I can tell that she’s a teenager in dog years now cause she’s been such a tinker with trashing her dog bed everywhere today 😂🙈 @els10 @minthumbugs

@Fifi1086 I’m so glad to hear your GP is being so helpful by looking into things and getting your blood work sorted, how long have you been trying for? I’m tempted for my blood work to be done this month is cycle 7 doesn’t work as I would be officially trying for 8 month (I know it’s not a lot in comparison to others)

@Cyclogoose I’ve been thinking about how you must have got on all day, I’ve just got round from finishing work and I’m so sorry, my heart absolutely breaks for you and your partner, I know nothing what I can say can make you feel better, I’m hear for you as a listening ear if you want to talk both on here or privately, I cannot imagine how your feeling right now but just know your not alone, I’m sending you the biggest hugs and loves as it’s okay not to be okay on times like this it’s totally understandable if you want to cry or scream or just do nothing at all, but when things are tough, and things start but not to rain but downpour, please look for the rainbow in the storm 🌈❤️

@Laureatus good luck with your TWW, it can only take one time you know so fingers crossed 🤞🏻❤️

@Minthumbugs I don’t start testing early as I know I’m not a early ovulation, I would see what your body says in terms of temps and CM to see if you need to start OPK, I tend to get 3-4 EWCM before some form of OPK, so I normally start testing from around CD17-18 as I tend to ovulate from 19-20 but this month I’m not convinced with my cycle at all, I’ve got a funny feeling it’s a anovulatory I don’t know why but I just can’t shake it! I think it’s just positive OPK and low ish temperatures compared to my previous cycles :(

@MammaJ21 that deffo is a positive congratulations sweetheart!!

@Marcella64 congratulations on your positive too darling! I’m tempted to take a month of next month OPK testing, they’ve stressed me out too much this month 😩👀

I’m sorry I’ve not caught up to everyone, having abit of a rough time at work at moment and feeling abit meh with this cycle, today was another temperature dip just above cover line, I’ve got a funny feeling that I’m having a anovulatory cycle as my temps have been low ish between 36.2-36.5 (pre ovulation 35.9) as normally they have been 36.5-36.8 on previous cycles, this journey can be so confusing sometimes 😩 hope everyone else is okay and I’ll catch up properly when I can 🥰❤️

PregnancyUnicorn reading is here!
If this is right I’ll get pregnant on my birthday 😂
How is everyone today?

@marcella64 oh I see that’s wonderful news!

@MammaJ21 I found out when I was 9dpo but the line was soo faint, then 10dpo I had pregnant on my digital 1-2 weeks

@MammaJ21 my app is saying 11dpo but I think I'm around 13. I was using cheap opk tests at the weekend and they kept coming back pos so I did a test today, shock of my life but a wonderful surprise. We started on/off trying in November but held off this month because we already have a December baby! Due date is a week apart from my ds birthday!

@CycloGoose so sorry to hear this. Sending lots of positive thoughts and dust to you!

@marcella64 Congrats. how many dpo did you find out? and also you @Laurashakey?

Feeling really anxious. I didn't plan to testing at all but the voices in my head were annoying me and I thought I'd just do it to rule it out...even though it was still early. long way to go and feeling anxious.

@CycloGoose I'm so sorry to hear your news, pray you get your rainbow xx

@Laurashakey I managed to have 2 babies, they are now 9 and 6, it's 7 years this month since I last fell pregnant, I'm a lot more relaxed than I was back then.

I'm supposed to have my second dose of Covid vaccine on sunday, don't think I'm going to take it.

@CycloGoose so sorry to hear that, I hope everything will work out for you ❤️

@Halpmer I know, I’m thinking was it worth £20?! No😂 but who knows she may still be right, oh yes definitely, I am wishing you a BFP👌🏽 Keep me updated please!! I’m so nosey haha! They do sound promising. I had some bloating 3dpo but I thought I had too much to eat 😂

@marcella64 omg I’m so sorry for your losses I am hoping this is your successful pregnancy now you deserve it❤️ Yes was horrible. I was exactly the same didn’t know what was happening, and my GP at that time was not much of a help either, as they kept on brushing me off saying it’s normal when it wasn’t. I’ve changed GP since so hoping they will have more empathy.

@soontobeamama thank you so much, I hope this one will be successful❤️

@cyclogoose - that's rotten, I'm so sorry. Are they going to do anything about the cyst? I'm rooting for you - here's hoping it happens for us both soon xx

@CycloGoose I'm so sorry. Rotten isn't it.
But like you said before you've got a free womb MOT and you know there are no issues. They say you're more fertile 3 months after a loss, and that was true with me. 🌈
Yours is similar to my loss, I got a faint positive and then three days after I started my 'period' which lasted for about 10 days. So I assumed chemical. Then took an ovulation test and blazing positive so I knew to take a pregnancy test and low and behold, positive. My HCG continued to rise and the sac grew but nothing in it, I was in and out of the EPU every bloody week getting scans.
Cry it out! It's therapy. Hope hubs is looking after you. Xxxx
