I’m almost 100% convinced I’m out now!

Really really hoping a December baby is the one. Anyone else?

Just looking at what my due date would be if we were lucky this cycle and it's the 31st December, which is also OH's birthday!

@Charl881
I hear you though I would be exactly the same. I wouldn't be wasting pricey clearblue sticks but the odd one or two easy@home wouldn't hurt. It's always interesting to know when you peak and how your chemical pregnancy affected it.

I'm still gutted for you btw it's absolute shit that this happened xx With my chemical I bled a lot more and at least 1 extra day. It took ages for the OPKs to get even slightly positive

I'd be loading myself up with vitamins this month so if it is wasted you'll be ready for the next cycle xx

Charl881 · 02/04/2022 22:33

@MrsGrealish high OPKs already is a good sign!

I’m torn between doing OPKs to at least see where my cycle is at, or just letting it be this cycle since OH is away for fertile window anyway. I might get frustrated if I get a peak and he’s not there. But then it might drive me mad not knowing if this chemical has altered my cycle as well!

MrsGrealish · 02/04/2022 20:58

@BiscuitLover3678 šŸ˜‚ I did say that and actually meant it at the time.

New cycle fresh start my OPKs have rocketed these past 2 days so starting tonight šŸ¤žI've never started this early before šŸ˜… probably when I finally ovulate I'll have run out of steam

BiscuitLover3678 · 02/04/2022 20:23

[quote MrsGrealish]@BiscuitLover3678 have you done a due date calculation? Mine would still be December! [/quote]
December 29th for me too. Good luck to us all with Christmas babies!

Also I love how we said we’d take a break and we didn’t Grin

@Charl881 I think it's the sunshine I feel like I do have more energy this time round. OPKs are super dark today too. V strange on CD10 šŸ¤·ā€ā™€ļø

Charl881 · 02/04/2022 08:39

@MrsGrealish yeah if I ovulate four days late we’d definitely still be in with a chance! I’m writing this cycle off mentally though and will just DTD when we can, then get back to it properly next month.

Fingers crossed for you this cycle, sounds like you’ll need a lot of energy!

MrsGrealish · 01/04/2022 22:15

@Charl881 wishing you all the best too ā¤ļø My chemical made me ovulate at least 4 days later. Not sure if that's a good or bad thing for you.

Gonna start DTD tomorrow or Sunday every 2 days for a week. OH has promised and I'll be holding him to it

Charl881 · 01/04/2022 21:51

@BiscuitLover3678 @MrsGrealish yay great news, keep us updated!

I’m not sure whether we’ll be able to try or not. If I ovulate as normal then we’ll miss the boat this month due to OH being away. But I’m hoping in a weird way that the chemical has thrown my cycle out and I ovulate early or late so we might still be in with a chance.

MrsGrealish · 01/04/2022 15:20

@BiscuitLover3678 have you done a due date calculation? Mine would still be December!

MrsGrealish · 01/04/2022 13:37

šŸ™Œ @BiscuitLover3678 us too!
Good luck for us bothā¤ļø

BiscuitLover3678 · 01/04/2022 12:43

Good luck to everyone. We have decided to continue this month so I’m sure I’ll be back on symptom spotting in a few weeks!

Congratulations @MrsN3 that's lovely 😊

Charl881 · 31/03/2022 08:46

@MrsN3 congratulations, that’s lovely news!

MrsN3 · 31/03/2022 07:52

Parting*

MrsN3 · 31/03/2022 07:52

Thank you @Bubblesandballoons and @MrsGrealish doesn’t feel real so I think I will be testing on different tests and a digital just so it fully sinks in but I doubt it will for months being kept as a secret!

I really hope you all get your positives soon and some sticky babies! Never thought this would be our month as my grandmother passed away the fertile window but we said it could be her partying gift to us and she sure did that! šŸ’›

MrsGrealish · 31/03/2022 07:46

@MrsN3 congrats!! ā¤ļø

Bubblesandballoons · 31/03/2022 07:32

@MrsN3 congratulations those are lovely strong lines šŸŽ‰šŸŽ‰. No drs and testing for you šŸŽ‰.

MrsN3 · 31/03/2022 06:15

So AF was due Tuesday and never arrived… had no symptoms at all this month to show she was coming nor pregnancy but I’m going out this weekend with friends so wanted to know if I could drink and low behold these two tests come back positive this morning! Hopefully they’re right will test again with clear blue when I get some later! What a whirlwind month!

Sending you a big hug @Mummyme87!

Mummyme87 · 30/03/2022 10:37

Test today at 12dpo is BFN, felt quite tearful today which I haven’t this whole TTC process. Think this was the first month I genuinely felt like it might have worked. Oh well, such is life. Think I’ll lay off the trying next cycle, need to chill a bit plus would be due around 31/12 which I would prefer to avoid. Onwards and upwards

Charl881 · 30/03/2022 10:04

@Mummyme87 sorry to hear that. At least you should know one way or another tomorrow.

Mfinch225 · 30/03/2022 09:13

@Mummyme87 if it isn’t your month this month I’m sending you all the good luck vibes for next ā˜ŗļø! I’m 11DPO today! But I think AF is around the corner!

It’s so odd because I’ve been having a dull ache/ occasional stab on the right side of my ovaries for about 4/5 days now but (stupidly) tested everyday the last 3 days and not a line in site! Feels different to usual PMS but before I MC last year I was testing BFP from 8DPO so don’t have much faith that this isn’t AF!

Mummyme87 · 30/03/2022 06:45

@Mfinch225 AF is due tomorrow so very likely out, plus my BBT has dropped today

Nyxxie · 29/03/2022 21:59

I'm out as AF arrived this morning. Very disappointing as I had started to get my hopes up, having had extreme nausea for about 24 hours up until yesterday evening šŸ˜”
