Hoping for BFP in May

Hi all - hope you don’t mind me joining! I’m CD3 today after a really strange start to my period, that I thought was implantation bleeding, and a FRER indent!

Entering cycle 4, TTC #1. Have become more obsessed than I thought I would be but seeing how everyone supports each other on the threads I’ve read over the past few months has been lovely. Barely any of my friends have babies, so I’ve been finding it quite lonely, so it’s nice reading everyone’s messages. I am still new to TTC and find it all a bit mad that we don’t get taught any of this when we’re younger! They make it sound like a man just has to look at you and you’ll be pregnant!!

all best wishes to everyone in their 2WW now! I’ve got a while to wait…

My initial thought is stress or implantation? I know our bodies are miraculous but they’re also an absolute mystery!!

Hi all, are there any other old timers on here? I am 4dpo and have come over from the april thread.

I’ve had some lower backache over the last couple of days, and I could swear some ovulation-like pain too which is very unusual at this stage.

I’ve attached my DTD chart. We probably should have done it the day after ovulation too but we didn’t get chance.

I had a HSG last month so it would be amazing if the much-vaunted “HSG bounce” happened to me!

@Mummyme87 I'm also trying to lose weight but stress levels are sending me to the chocolate. It's so hard isn't it 😫

@lyra12 welcome! Those cycles are ao long. Must feel like a marathon every time

@Harriet669 that is so confusing. So much for opks making everything clearer

@thebloodycatwontstopmeowing could it be stress?

@Kindofcrunchy welcome! I know @Cherrymarket and I are both on our first cycle of trying for dc#2. Maybe we'll get a bit of beginner's luck 😬😅🤞

Hi all, can I join? We're trying for dc2 and on cycle 1, CD14. Don't think we dtd at the right totm 🙄but who knows, might get lucky! My ovulation symptoms are all over the place this month, seem to have ovulated later than usual/predicted by Flo app! Got awful cramps as well which is unusual for me but probably just overdid it at the weekend. We caught first time with dc1 but I've had thyroid issues in the last couple of years that might throw a spanner in the works 😢

@thebloodycatwontstopmeowing I always have a day of this before AF starts, but could also be implantation if not normal for you?

My cycles are 65 days + :( it's soooo long I really hope I bloody catch this cycle I can't bare the waiting!

@LemonZestDribbles I've had some EWCM last week for two days near CD9 and then had some yesterday and today too, with some cramping, no idea what's going on! Thought OPK's would help but they've made me more confused 😂

@lyra12 welcome!

@Cherrymarket you are on a lot already! Maybe ask GP, they may tell you that you already take enough 😂

Good afternoon, hoping the conception board wagon again after a month off.

I’m 35, and have 2 DS, 7 and 4, and also had a ruptured ectopic almost two years ago from an unplanned pregnancy which resulted in losing my right tube.
I am now on cycle 7, although last cycle wasn’t trying as such as was trying to avoid an end of December baby.
I’m on CD2, my cycles are a bit all over, my Ov date changes every cycle almost, anywhere between CD11-15, averaging CD13. My LP is only 12 days aswell so cycle length was 24days this month but 28days the month before. Had a mirena coil for a year, came out in October, not sure if that’s caused the cycle messing around? Always used to be 26days on the nose.

trying to lose weight as BMi is around 36 at the moment 😬😬😬 so bloody hard!!!

Thanks guys.

Af was due on the 14th, run an average 28-30 day cycle - some shorter. A week later I tested positive- bizarre.
I tested quite late with our first, I had become so demoralised with the monthly negatives so the same may have happened there too!
@thebloodycatwontstopmeowing our first took over a year, it’s so intense isn’t it. We eventually got our BFP on the month we did
no planning.

not to wish time away but I hope these cycles go quickly so you are not waiting around too long 💐

Thank you! I had considered this but I am already taking folic acid, vit d and 3 omega 3 tablets and I thought adding more might be a bit much with breakfast 😂 I think you’re right and I will have to though. Annoying that iron is in everything!

Hope it's ok to join. Testing 3rd may 🤞 cycle 1 trying for baby #2

@thebloodycatwontstopmeowing how are you doing? Has AF stayed away?

@MissBlue93 oooh I hope that's a sign that you will catch this cycle 🤞🤞🤞

@xFictionx so sorry that you've hit a year. Can't imagine how tough that will be ❤

@Izzyboo1234 congratulations!!! That's wonderful news

@Cherrymarket welcome and good luck!!

@Harriet669 nothing similar but that's really weird. Did you have any other ov signs?

First day of fw here so here's hoping 🤞🤞 trying to tell myself that it will never happen first cycle but that little voice in my head has very high expectations 😬😬

CD 16 and no positive OPK, my app has changed now from saying no peak to ovulated on CD9 as that was my darkest line, don't think it's right tho! Any one have anything similar or struggles getting a peak?

@Cherrymarket I've been taking vitamins separately rather than pre pregnancy vitamins as I already take some higher dose ones anyway and just thought I'd be doubling up, you could try take the main vitamins you need separately rather than but the all in ones!

@Izzyboo1234 congratulations 🥳

Congratulations @Izzyboo1234

@PeachesToday those vitamins sound like the whole shebang!

speaking of vitamins, does anyone know of any pregnancy vitamins that don’t contain iron?

Congratulations @Izzyboo1234 . It must be confusing after getting negatives. What DPO did you test positive?

I did a FRER this morning and BFN at 10DPO so I think I’m out for the cycle but AF is due 30th Apr so still could get BFP in May 🤞

I’ve ordered some new pre natal vitamins to spice things up. Active Iron Pregnancy Plus. They include the usual folic plus omega and iron. I take coq10 too because I’m late thirties x

Thank you for your kind words. It is so odd, and contributing to my anxiety. I have done a few tests since to confirm.

@Izzyboo1234 that's very interesting and a nice story to hear that all those negatives turned into a positive! Congratulations again great to hear good news on the thread.

@QueenBee22 thank you, all negative and a week after still testing negative but not come up as 3+?!

@SearchingTheSkies thank you, I am
okay thank you just feeling extra tired. But with a lively LO that isn’t a surprise, still feels unreal to be honest. Just hope the baby sticks and we will go for an early reassurance scan. I have everything crossed for you, I am thinking of you.

@Cherrymarket thank you. I hope everything goes well for you!

@xFictionx awe lovely 💐it’s horrible
isn’t it. I remember with my first every month was a crippling disappointment 😞 at school they set it up like it will be easy!

Does anyone mind me sticking about on the thread? It’s early days for me, but equally will be nice to support one another on this journey. You have all been so kind. You all deserve good news
