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.

Sorry to butt in everyone! I need someone to tell me if I'm insane. I'm only 9 or 10dpo but I gave in and tested this morning. I can see something but my partner can't?! What do you all think?

@FlyOnTheWall89 thank you. I remember your username too. Where are you up to in your cycle? X

mummyofrb · 06/05/2022 06:51

@3rdtimelucky2022 so sorry to hear what you've been through. I'm on second cycle since mmc now, my first one was really messed up and we had been told to wait 2 cycles to try again because I had the op. My first cycle after mmc was 33 days which is long for me, by my 2nd cycle I had was 27 days so I'm hopeful I might catch on this time if things have righted themselves! It's just such a stressful time my mind is thinking constantly about conceiving I don't think I can deal with more disappointment😭 good luck this cycle!!

FlyOnTheWall89 · 06/05/2022 05:42

Oh @Curlywurly3 how devastating. I think I remember your handle from other threads. So sorry you've had such a tough time. Best of luck x

@3rdtimelucky2022 luckily I've had some negative tests since my miscarriage - I was positive for 6+ weeks after so had quite a few trips to the EPU! But negative for 2 - 3 weeks before this test 😬

3rdtimelucky2022 · 05/05/2022 19:59

@mummyofrb I’m on my first cycle after a late missed miscarriage. I’m on day 14 and still not ovulated! Got a flashing smiley on CB ovulation test today so hopefully it’ll be this week.

@ElleBelleLou i tentatively think I see something! You said you had a miscarriage in May though? Mine stayed positive for 3 weeks after my miscarriage so it may be leftover bHCG. Really hope it’s a new positive! Test again in the morning?

ElleBelleLou · 05/05/2022 19:34

Hi all!

Hope you don't mind me joining. I conceived my first baby in February but sadly miscarried in May, I'm back to TTC now.

7DPO today according to my app, and took a test because I just can't stop myself even knowing how unlikely a positive test is this early on.

Me and my partner have major line eyes and wishful thinking and think we can see a tiny hint of something starting here - anyone else see anything? Don't worry if not - I know how unrealistic this is Blush

@LemonZestDribbles I read your message about googling RHR and thought, 'Oh I should Google that too.' What are we like? I don't think I'll ever get through the TWW without overthinking absolutely everything. 😂

HansBanans · 05/05/2022 17:51

@RBSK1 AF got me too 😞

Next AF due 3 June, hopefully this is a luckier month 🤞🏻

kizzy97 · 05/05/2022 14:07

@Hopefulprincess thank you for that, it just gets harder the longer we ttc and then you can't help but think things are wrong, hopefully May is the month it happens!

@RBSK1 I'm so sorry 😔 baby dust for next cycle xx

Cherrymarket · 05/05/2022 12:51

@RBSK1 😞 sorry. This has been a cruel month!

mummyofrb · 05/05/2022 12:25

@LemonZestDribbles thankyou I'm over analysing everything lol. I inputted my period dates from first day of heavy bleeding but was spotting few days before so i think my ovulation was actually last week!! When do you track from?? We have been dtd every other day anyway so hopefully still have a chance! I had a bit of pink cm and ew cm the following day about the time I think I actually ovulated so that could be it!! I ignored it bc I didn't think id be ovulating until a few days later! So I've been stressing all week but I think ovulation already been🤞🤞 for us both!! Xxx

allthingssparkly · 05/05/2022 10:46

Hi @LemonZestDribbles still no sign of AF, will test tomorrow if nothing else happens in the meantime.

I feel different just can't put my finger on it.

Hopefully I have answers soon 🤞 x

Brunette1989 · 05/05/2022 10:44

@2023wish oh wow congratulations, that's made me feel a lot better that we won't be completely ruled out just got to give it a good go the next few days hopefully 😊 xx

RBSK1 · 05/05/2022 10:39

Aaaaand AF has just arrived. See you all next month 😢

RBSK1 · 05/05/2022 05:21

Got a BFN on my CB early this morning. Gutted. Just not to be this month!

Can't believe I had two faint lines then this one has nothing on it

That sucks! There really should be a cheaper FRER competitor they would rake it in!

anyone else around 3dpo? No symptoms for me, but then I didn’t get any with my last pregnancy at this stage apart from extreme tearfulness around 7dpo.

LemonZestDribbles · 05/05/2022 10:22

@RBSK1 I'm so sorry :( that is absolutely rubbish

@allthingssparkly how are you getting on?

@2023wish congratulations!!!

@PeanuttyButter congratulations!!!

@Brunette1989 that sounds sore! Hope you're feeling a but better

@mummyofrb I don't tend to get any symptoms like pain or anything. Just increased cm. So sorry about your mmc ❤

@HeatherSnixx welcome! Sorry about your mc ❤

@Choc2022 welcome! I use one step ovulation tests, the app Flo (used femometer in the past) and I like Frer tests but they seem to have a lot of indents recently so beware:)

@Smcai I'm 3/4dpo and found myself googling rhr the other night at 2am when ds wouldn't sleep. I also said I wouldn't go symptom mental in tww 🤣🤣

RBSK1 · 05/05/2022 06:08

@HansBanans my OH said maybe we have bad batch of tests. Can't afford to keep forking out £10+ on tests though!

Hopefully it will happen for us both soon xxx

HansBanans · 05/05/2022 06:05

@RBSK1 BFN for me too ☹️

RBSK1 · 05/05/2022 05:21

Smcai · 05/05/2022 04:55

It's been so nice to see so many BFP's in the chat, congratulations to all of you and fingers crossed for everyone still waiting to find out.
I told myself earlier in this cycle that I wouldn't over analyze and just try to relax and see what happens. Well, that quickly went out of the window. Currently at 5DPO and a day of lower back pain and some mild cramping has sent my brain into overdrive trying to dissect symptoms. The TWW is always so hard, I wish we could just test already. How many DPO do you all normally start testing?

Choc2022 · 05/05/2022 04:11

Hello All,

New to the forum. First time ttc, month 1 and no kids. Ive used some apps but am doubting how good they are ( I have only input data for one month though). A few days late but BFN on those £1 tests from Tesco. Any reccomdentations (or what I should avoid) on

  1. Apps
  2. Ovulation tests
  3. Pregnancy tests?

Thanks in advance

Hopefulprincess · 05/05/2022 03:51

@RBSK1 good luck for the morning 💖
soooooo I’m debating getting some of the pointless cheapie tests in just for my obsessive testing but then I don’t want false hope. For those not on previous threads I dipped 10 in water many came back + so my sinks pregnant clearly. But then also testing early means false hope regarding chemical pregnancies which are suuuuuuper common , and the indents on frer I’m not liking either as a line eyed test starer. Not sure which tests to try but I have to pee daily on one or atleast 5. Dilemmas I face at 2dpo 🤣

Hopefulprincess · 05/05/2022 03:45

@HeatherSnixx good luck 😘
