CD1 here, starting a new thread for those who are hoping to get a BFP in May for a January/February baby 🥰

This is my cycle 3 trying for #2. I've got an 18mo old son.

@LemonZestDribbles definitely! My DS is 4 and the attitude on him is getting unreal 🤣

MissBlue93 · 10/05/2022 12:27

@MissBlue93 good luck!
sorry for af those who it came for 😘

Thanks! My BBT also dropped today so keeping an eye on that too. X

@MissBlue93 good luck!

@ElleBelleLou do you have another frer or clear blue?

Hopefulprincess · 10/05/2022 11:54

I tested obviously it’s bfn 😂 7dpo I’m not suprised

LemonZestDribbles · 10/05/2022 10:17

@kizzy97so worth it! Even if they are little monsters when they pop out 🤣

@MissBlue93 looking good! Happy dtd 😬🤣

@Cherrymarket so exciting for the first #dc2 tww!!

@Choc2022 @salia12345678910 no experience myself. Hopefully you can get an answer soon. Must he very hard not to think of anything else.

@BellaTheDarkOverlord sorry that af is starting. Baby dust for next ❤

@mummyofrb the tww feels so long at the moment. Fingers crossed you'll be testing soon and get that bfp 🤞

I did a stupid and tested. There's a faint line but I'm not confident it's not an indent. Dh could see it and you can kind of see on camera (especially when I contrast the photo) but I'm not getting my hopes up. After what felt like a million years of convincing dh we should try for a dc then 7 cycles on ds it be way too lucky to get a bfp on cycle 1. Will see what tomorrow brings 🤞🤞🤞

MissBlue93 · 10/05/2022 09:20

Think I spoke too soon this is OPK now! Suddenly way darker than yesterday but not quite peak. Premom reading it at 0.56 so hopefully I'll hit peak today 🤞

BellaTheDarkOverlord · 10/05/2022 09:03

Cd27 I think and just started spotting this morning pink. It's AF as this is normal for me so looks like I'm out. Only cycle 1 so didn't get hopes up this month so onto next month it looks like. Goodluck everyone else!

MissBlue93 · 10/05/2022 08:44

My BBT dropped today but my OPKS still not getting darker, if anything slightly weaker, CD17 so I think I've given up on the idea of ovulation now, I've either missed it or it just didn't happen this month. No more EWCM and it was Saturday I had the large amount so that to me should of been triggering some stronger OPKS! AF due in 11 days so let's roll on the next cycle!

salia12345678910 · 10/05/2022 07:35

@Choc2022 generally speaking the answer I've been getting is no, however I've read/watched ladies speak on their personal experiences saying there were times they didn't realise they were pregnant until a few months into the pregnancy as they were having a "period", so that gives me hope although it may be short lived 🥺

mummyofrb · 10/05/2022 07:18

How's everyone doing?? I'm a few days off testing and starting to feel more nervous/negative that its not going to happen this month😭 I knew ttc would be torture after mmc it's really something else!!

Choc2022 · 10/05/2022 05:11

salia12345678910 · 09/05/2022 19:03

Anyone know if BBT remains persistently high during implantation bleed? I started my period yesterday but temps are still elevated and the internet has got me feeling hopeful that it could be an implantation bleed 🥺

I'm in a similar position. AF 7 days late, hot temp (thought first month ttc so havent recordes anything to monitor), moody, fatigue, crampy, backache etc.

Started bleeding, very very light. BFN on tests but I'm confused as never really late and my flow has been consistent.

Could you get implantation bleeding 7 days after AF due or am I wishful thinking?

@MissBlue93 looks like it’s heading in the right direction 👍

I got my Positive opk today and can feel my egg popping so we definitely timed our one time correctly. Will start the first dc2 tww tomorrow, feels surreal to be at this point again!

MissBlue93 · 09/05/2022 11:43

Oops I put the wrong pic! This one is what I meant to put. They seem to be getting stronger x

Sorry about all the af arriving :( here's to a lucky next cycle though 🤞

@ElleBelleLou the frer indents are awful at the moment - so cruel :(

@MissBlue93 I'm with @Cherrymarket twice in a day!!! Good on you both 💪💪💪

@Purple29 that sounds so wonderful ❤

I've had really bad indigestion this weekend - something I've not had since I was pregnant with my ds. I'm hoping that's a good sign and not just the pate speead very thick on a cheese bloomer Saturday lunch 🤔🙃 my mood swings have been awful too. I'm not sure if it's pmt/stress/dh being annoying/a good sign. I had definitely forgotten how emotionally taxing ttc is.

It doesn't happen often haha! We had gone a few days without due to both feeling so poorly. Does this chart look like I might possibly be starting to get closer to ovulation? I know they're still negative but the lines do look like they're slowly getting darker to me x

kizzy97 · 09/05/2022 09:56

@LemonZestDribbles oooh hopefully these are all good signs for you! And it definitely is emotionally taxing but worth it in the end ❤

Sorry about BFNs and AF arriving 😔

@Purple29 lovely to hear that with you and OH, I have everything crossed for you this month ❤️

This is long and going to sound strange 😂 DS wasn't planned but after one of our "sessions" the month we conceived him I remember just feeling different and couldn't put my finger on it. Last night managed to dtd with my partner and I've got that same weird feeling again, hoping it's a good sign as I haven't had that feeling again during my ttc journey so far!

SweetPeaPods · 09/05/2022 09:13

gosh I’m so sorry. How insensitive. My brain is clearly not in gear and figured as my bfp was in May. Wishing you all lots of luck.

MissBlue93 · 09/05/2022 07:44

Cherrymarket · 09/05/2022 07:41

@MissBlue93 twice in one day is good going! Don’t think I’ve managed that since I was 18 🤣

I think I will get my peak today, and I usually ovulate day of peak or shortly after. We’ve managed to do the sex (/borat) once this window so it’s unlikely anything is going to happen this month. Back to shifts now though so unlikely I will see DH before Fw is over (unless I don’t get my peak today)…

@Purple29 that was a lovely post to read, good for you guys

sorry to all those with AF. Here’s hoping next month!

He tried for a 3rd time late at night and I told him to bugger off 😂 it was spaced out though one time was first thing in morning and second was about 4:30pm! My bbt is all over the place but I think that's down to covid, even if I don't conceive this month it's just nice to start tracking and seeing what my body is doing. Fingers crossed I just haven't ovulated yet, I usually get lots of cramping and twinges around ovulation and haven't had much of that yet.

Cherrymarket · 09/05/2022 07:44

@ElleBelleLou i never use a one step as I find them awful, but I am disappointed in FRER as so many seem to be saying indent lines!

that FRER looks like my first bfp at 10dpo… it’s annoying if it shows that line and it’s not true

Pretty sure I'm out! Was so confident after my FRER at 8DPO but this is my 10DPO test (and I was getting good positives on these tests from 8DPO last time I conceived), and on closer inspection the tests seem to have a line on before they're even taken so oh well. Onto the next cycle!
