Making a new thread from the March group ♥️

I'm on CD 1, Cycle 11 of TTC our first 👶🏼
Had a MC in February
Ectopic last July with right tube removal
I have endometriosis (and I suspect low progesterone)

Trying to stay positive and think fresh cycle, my body probably needed this after the MC and its a fresh start ✨

Baby dust ✨🤞🏼✨🤞🏼✨🤞🏼✨🤞🏼✨

Hi all! Congrats on the BPF’s so far… Checking in weeks late thought I’d be out this month. So I’ve had a peaceful TWW - not even thought about it 😳
But I’m still waiting on AF today … (I can usually vary 28-30 days) so I took a test Tuesday and it was negative and I sighed and accepted it was a no, we tried our best this month, but then husband was away during my peak but we managed a few times before 🤣

I’m on sofa scramming Easter eggs wondering if I should hot foot it to boots…. Or just wait until I’m past CD30 🙃

Hi, been a bit MIA these last few weeks had a lot going on, don't think I'm in with a chance this month as we didn't really get chance to dtd until the last day of my fw so my only hope is that I o'd late CD25 today and no symptoms of any kind so who knows

MissBlue93 · 16/04/2022 10:46

I checked my calendar and I had exactly the same issues with a high temp, last month 7 days before AF. So I think it's just a regular thing for me and seems I'm out this month.

lettyloulou · 16/04/2022 10:02

Hi everyone. I'm also 6DPO but not really got any symptoms other than mild cramping. Had some twinges here and there but I can't say that's anything unusual. I was gonna test at 9DPO but maybe I should wait a bit longer...

Mania42b · 16/04/2022 09:54

Hi all im also waiting to test this month April. Im on my cycle day 19 6dpo and no symptoms at all no tender bb so confused ... this is ttc 3rd month. Its ever so hard to wait days to pass.

MissBlue93 · 16/04/2022 08:31

I think today I'm about 7DPO, not 100% sure when I ovulated. I've been tracking my BBT the last week and it's been 37 but today I'm at 37.6 so effectively a mild fever. Not sure if it's because I'm getting sick, or an early symptom. Then again I've never tracked my temp before period so no idea if it's normal for me! AF due 23rd. Did a test just now and stark white. Really feel like these tests mess with you as last week I did a strip one and it had a faint line immediately!

Jellysweet · 16/04/2022 06:51

I'm here :) 6dpo so coming into symptom-spotting time 🥲

Nyxxie · 15/04/2022 21:15

I'm here! 1DPO so not much going on though!

MissBlue93 · 15/04/2022 20:22

Anyone still here? I'm 6DPO but not really any symptoms and no CM so think I'll be out this month.

LuckyWithMyLot · 14/04/2022 14:27

Held out until 11dpo to test this month (very proud of my restraint!) and sadly BFN on FRER so I'm out.

I did have the flu at around 5dpo so i hadn't held out much hope. Also I have felt typical AF symptoms over the last few days, so it wasn't a big surprise.

I'm feeling pretty calm about it. It's now the 3rd cycle since my mmc (amd 10th since starting TTC).

Next month I'm going to eat better, do the SMEP method and use preseed. Crossing fingers and toes it works!

staceymarieox · 13/04/2022 22:31

Hey everyone! Just as an update AF turned up today so no Christmas baby for me! I am now down to a 28 day cycle though so hopefully that's my body now ready to conceive after being on the pill! I came off on November last year and had no period until January and have been coming down a few days per cycle so 🤞

Best of luck and baby dust to all of you still waiting to test, and maybe speak to some of you on next month's thread :)

Kay2578 · 13/04/2022 15:47

Hey can I join your thread. I tried BBT tracking this month alongside opk and according to the FF app, I'm 8dpo. It says I can test from Sunday, but I have a 35 day cycle so not due on till 21st. Past 2 days ive had serious headaches and constant nausea. Not sure if it could be early symptoms or if im just hoping. Been ttc since july. Hope everyone is doing good. Im off to read the 500+ comments on this thread 😂

@MissBlue93 it could be implantation I had it at 5/6 dpo so buy an early test and do it in 2 days 🤞🏼

MissBlue93 · 13/04/2022 11:28

[quote RSmamaa]@MissBlue93 if you are 5dpo implantation mostlikely wont have happened yet meaning there won't be any hcg being produced yet. Are you testing with early tests? If you are using ordinary tests from tesco they won't pick anything up until you have 20miu in your system which is usually a couple of days before AF starts. I got some internet cheapies off amazon for £3 which worked this cycle. I got a faint positive at 7dpo with them. They are onestep 10miu if you wanted to amazon prime some. I got 50 in a pack for £7 this month thinking I wouldn't conceive [/quote]
Yeah that's what I thought but so confusing with the line I had on yesterdays test? 🤦🏻‍♀️ I'm at work at and have such bad stomach ache and it feels like it's burning with lots of twinges. So no idea what's going on 😂

Teaandbiscuits22 · 13/04/2022 10:43

Hi everyone!! I hope it's ok to join af due tomorrow I'm not feeling very optimistic as I didn't get ovulation symptoms this month I had covid so I'm not sure if that was the reason? We dtd in my fertile window just in case I tested on Sunday and was negative but could have been to early, I'll test again Friday if no af tomorrow

MissBlue93 · 13/04/2022 09:58

[quote Jellysweet]@MissBlue93 I'm keeping everything crossed for you :)[/quote]
Me too it's just so stressful and waiting is the worst 😂 I notice every little thing with my body when I never used to, and yet I've already got 2 kids so thought I'd be more laid back about it! Nope 🤦🏻‍♀️ fingers crossed for everyone x

Decaffe · 13/04/2022 09:37

Well last night I ordered a Fertilily from Boots, will collect tomorrow!

If that and the “HSG bounce” doesn’t get me pregnant this month, then I don’t know what will!

Willow1982 · 13/04/2022 09:24

@Purple29 I know how you feel!! I pray this is our cycle!! Fingers crossed for you xx🍀

Jellysweet · 13/04/2022 09:09

@MissBlue93 I'm keeping everything crossed for you :)

MissBlue93 · 13/04/2022 08:28

[quote Jellysweet]@MissBlue93 how many DPO are you?[/quote]
I don't really know as didn't track my ovulation other than an app which guessed roughly when I did. So I think around the 8th or 9th so I know I'm too early to test 🙈 as I'd only be 4/5DPO now. Going to leave it until Monday and try again then, as AF due 23rd so a FRER could pick it up if there's anything.

I just feel so rubbish every day at the moment! Moodswings and so much stomach ache/cramping 🤦🏻‍♀️

Jellysweet · 13/04/2022 08:20

@MissBlue93 how many DPO are you?

MissBlue93 · 13/04/2022 07:51

My app does say I need to wait 8 days to test and after all AF is due 23rd.
But the waiting sucks! Stomach cramps/ache again this morning and feel sick as a dog 🙄

MissBlue93 · 13/04/2022 07:39

So I tested this morning and BFN, super confused as yesterday tests had faint lines. I did a Tesco strip one, a normal Tesco one and boots one. The normal Tesco has a tiny faint line but other 2 are white.

My only guess is I'm really too early to be testing and therefore getting false readings 🤦🏻‍♀️

Purple29 · 13/04/2022 06:51

@Willow1982 in the same boat AF was a bit early for me so I'm now CD16 (same days) AF is due for me on 25th. Just wish it would happen!!!
