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 ✨🤞🏼✨🤞🏼✨🤞🏼✨🤞🏼✨

Spot on pink today…..3 days early but with cramps so AF is coming! See you all in the next thread 😊

Congratulations to all the BFPs, I’m back here after a couple of weeks, AF came nice (not) and early for me in March! So I’m now CD15 middle of my fertile week, so will be hitting that TWW by the end of this week!! AF due around 28th April!
Good luck to all testing and waiting at the mo!!xx🍀

MissBlue93 · 12/04/2022 20:03

Thanks ladies I'll try again in the morning and see! Still think I'm too early though!

Peonies94 · 12/04/2022 20:00

Congratulations to those positive! Good luck to everyone waiting to test!
I had a static cb OPK this morning, cheapie had barely no line! Anyone experienced this, and if so, was it the cheapie or digital which was correct? Thank you!

@MissBlue93
The best is to test in the morning specially when testing early but I'd do the same 😀.
Good luck 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼🤞

RSmamaa · 12/04/2022 19:44

Good luck @MissBlue93

[quote Sabina93]@MissBlue93 aww I see lines on both. I think it would really be a coincidences to have two faint lines on two different test so I think you are pregnant just testing too early. I think tomorrow the lines will be darker.
I have ordered a few frers from Amazon in past however they gave me the false positive and I also read a bad reviews but I don't know 🤷‍♀️
Will you be doing the test from boots today or will you hold back till tomorrow? 😀

@staceymarieox
Yes have a drink and have a good time 😊 and maybe just try to wait and test on Friday? [/quote]
I did a boots one when I got home and it was negative but I had basically no wee 😂😂 so not surprised! Will do a boots one and Tesco both tomorrow morning and see, as one is blue dye and one is red! And go from there. My stomach is in knots again atm and I feel so off 🤦🏻‍♀️

[quote RSmamaa]@MissBlue93 yes get some frer off amazon! Superdrug do early tests too but they didn't show up for me! Another brand that did was the clear&simple early brand. They do them in savers if you have one near for £1 x[/quote]
I just drove to a boots and they didn't have the ones you showed but another cheap £5 for 2 pack. I'll look on Amazon too! X

[quote RSmamaa]@MissBlue93 the top one looks positive but they can be temperamental. Bottom one I see a faint line but blue dyes are also temperamental. Can you pop to boots and grab their early detection tests? This is what mine came up as when 7/8dpo so they are quite reliable[/quote]
Yes I agree they are temperamental! I did one Thursday and it was almost impossible to see but then after 10 mins had an evap line, but this one did come straight up. I don't have a boots too near to me but I can try to get something off Amazon perhaps, they are both Tesco tests 👍🏻

Hi ladies,

I'm impatient and tested today,

This is what I got within 2 mins on both. The bottom one does have a very faint line.

What are the chances these are correct and not just leading me on? No idea when I ovulated but I've had stomach pain for a few days and feeling quite sick. AF due 23rd.

staceymarieox · 12/04/2022 13:47

Just got back from shopping now and got a first response and clear blue early detection, both negative! I think unless AF hasn't arrived by Friday I'm gonna have to call it and say this isn't gonna be my month! But I'm gonna have a few drinks tonight and enjoy! Definitely feel different to normal but maybe my body is getting back to normal after my pill so I can just feel it do its thing more 🤷‍♀️

I'll keep my fingers crossed for you! 🤞

MissBlue93 · 12/04/2022 12:33

@staceymarieox yeah it's so tricky I haven't tracked my temp at all, it's our first cycle trying so kinda just rolling with it as when I had my other 2 I never 'tried' we just kinda BD and it happened but this is a new partner and he's over thinking his fertility!

I've been so uncomfy the last few days and still today my stomach feels like it's in knots and just such a weight down there, so bloated! I'm hoping I already ovulated and that this could be early symptoms but it's hard not to over think! The wait to test is worse! With my AF due 23rd it's saying I can test 18th so 5 days early as I've got FRER tests that say they can detect 5 days before period. I've also got the cheapie strips! I think I'll get my partner to BD again today just incase it's a late ovulation, but hopefully we've done it enough.

I spoke to a fertility psychic who said she sees July for me, as either conception or for a scan appointment or baby's due date, which does kind of line up scan wise if I'm pregnant now, but I don't know what to believe 😂

I'm greedy to hope to get a BFP on first cycle I know 🤦🏻‍♀️

RSmamaa · 12/04/2022 12:26

@BigAlice ahh good luck I'll keep everything crossed for you! I'm 4 weeks today and not feeling any symptoms yet. Sure it will kick in soon

BigAlice · 12/04/2022 12:19

Hey @RSmamaa - my AF is due on Saturday, I’m going to try and wait until it’s late before testing!🤞

How are you getting on?

RSmamaa · 12/04/2022 11:11

How is eveyone getting on? Any more tests?

Sabina93 · 12/04/2022 10:37

@staceymarieox
Yes exactly, it is so exhausting. My 18months old was vomiting all night 😔. Hopefully will get better soon.

Your symptoms sound promising 👍🏻. Let me know how did the test go. Fingers crossed for you 🤞😊

I feel like a crazy person I keep checking all of the calculators like when can I take pregnancy tests, when would implantation happen etc. 😀 with the first one I just took one test and that's it and now I'm testing like crazy each cycle 🤦‍♀️😀

Cant really wait to see the BFP 🙏🏻

@Decaffe Hi just had to go through the posts to see what the method is 😀 Anyway keep us updated 😊
Fingers crossed for you 🤞

@MissBlue93
Heya 😊 I've read that the best way to see when you ovulate is to track your temperature. Not working for me because I always forget 🤦‍♀️
My AF is around the 20th also.
Your CM could also be an early sign of the pregnancy. Maybe you have ovulated earlier then 9th. It's just so tricky isn't it 😀

staceymarieox · 12/04/2022 09:34

I'm hoping it is a little early still, I'll always keep checking until AF arrives! Its really strange sometimes its exactly like AF is coming but it also feels different, sort of like a pressure or something, a little like trapped wind or a stich which I guess could be round ligament pain which I had a lot with DS but I'm not gonna get my hopes up! I am on a diet so the more veg could be causing the trapped wind 🤣 I will test today and if negative have one or two drinks and go from there! Still can't remember how many dpo I am I know it was after mothers day I ovulated as I tracked on my fitness watch I had as a gift! I'd maybe say the wednesday/Thursday after as a guess 🤷‍♀️ would put me at the 2 week point now!

So horrible about the sickness you all have! Absolutely hate a sick bug 🤢 a friend of ours his little girl has norovirus, I said to DH I would honestly rather us all have Covid than that, can't deal with the spew! Fingers crossed for you that you get better soon and be able to spot any symptoms!

@MissBlue93 you could maybe use an app if you know your cycle length or at least your last cycle etc, it won't be exact but may give you a window. I usually get some CM before AF arrives too, so I would just sit tight and see! But as you are still a fair way out I'm not sure! I read somewhere that your body can try and ovulate again if it fails in a cycle, don't know how true it is but I have had a month where I had my 'peak' then like a week or so before AF came I had another 🤷‍♀️ our bodies are so strange at times!

Decaffe · 12/04/2022 08:42

Hi all, checking in.

I had to skip my last cycle as I had an HSG so had to abstain due to the X ray.

I’m currently on CD5. We were going to use @Purple29’s method, but I had Covid a couple of weeks ago. After my three vaccinations my following month’s ovulation was earlier than normal so I am expecting ovulation to be early this month too. So we are simply going to start today and DTD every other day to make sure we catch it.

Fingers crossed!

MissBlue93 · 12/04/2022 08:28

Is there an accurate way to know when you've ovulated if not using tests? I've had clear sticky CM for days now, since the 7th. So figured I'd ovulated a couple days later on the 9th, we DTD quite a few times over the last week, last night I struggled to sleep with stomach ache and cramping, I haven't checked my temp though so it's hard to track. My AF is due 23rd so it's saying I can test in 9 days, that's if I ovulated on the 9th! It reckons my fertile window is over but just surprised to go toilet this morning and still have some clear sticky CM. Not a lot though!

Sabina93 · 12/04/2022 03:56

@staceymarieox it still might be too early. Let me know how did it go with testing 😊 and if it's still negative at least you could have a drink.
I am 6-7 dpo today. We all at home have got a stomach bug so feeling awful. Cant really tell if I have any symptoms because of that. 🤷‍♀️

staceymarieox · 11/04/2022 23:44

Still nothing either way! Taken 2 early detection, 2 rapid results and one digital and all no! Ov stick picked up a faint line! Still feel crampy, mood swings everywhere but still different to my pms 🤷‍♀️ aunt flo due wendesday based on 28 days or Friday based on 30 which is what i was last month! Gonna try and hold out testing but out and about without DH tomorrow so likely some tests will fall into my possession 🙃 Just want to know either way now as sister in laws 30th meal tomorrow and a few drinks would go down a treat 😟 how are you doing?

Sabina93 · 11/04/2022 23:27

Hi, how is everyone doing with testing? Are you holding back to see if af arrives? Anyone bfp yet? 😊
