Does anyone fancy a cycle #1 thread? Trying for number 2, Iā€™m 30, CD20, 8dpo, one probable evap on a Lloyds test followed by negative FRER. But - not out yet!

Hopefully will find some comrades!

Another week still but ovulation is usually day 11 or 12 for me with a 27 day cycle. Good luck with the OPKs I look forward to seeing them šŸ˜Š

Ah well why not! How long til your period is due? Iā€™ll be obsessively peeing on OPKs today! Will update later (how thrilling for you šŸ˜‚)

Wednesday I commented on your OPK thread!! I thought your username looked familiar! Any joy with a clear peak today?

BFN for me on Superdrug test with FMU. I think Iā€™m out but I feel like now Iā€™ve cracked I may as well obsessively test away until AF arrives!

Ah yes sorry, you did say you had tested already! Let us know how you will get on with the FRERs! Planning to be serene, ha ha, thatā€™s what I told myself Iā€™d be like this month and it absolutely is not how I am šŸ˜‚

Heres my OPKs, I posted this on another thread too but have done another test since last posting it (and yes, thatā€™s 4 tests I did yesterday because I have absolutely no idea whatā€™s going on!)

Hi @mumone88 good to have another member! Iā€™m using OPKs as Iā€™m a bit rubbish at ā€˜knowing my bodyā€™ if that makes sense. We too only managed to DTD once in the crucial few days and I suspect it was actually a bit late, so not holding out much hope. But there is still a chance! Due on my period on the 18th.

I keep telling myself that if BFN this month then at least the baby wouldnā€™t have a January birthday!

Me! This is cycle 1 (ish) TTC #2. My first was born November 2020 so she's 17 months.

We were going to start next cycle as we were with family over my fertile week this cycle but we did manage to DTD whilst we were there so I'm counting this as an unofficial cycle 1!

I'm using Natural Cycles (used it to conceive my first) and it says I am 9DPO but I think I'm actually 11DPO going off other signs. Didn't use any ovulation tests this month as I didn't have any with me so who knows! Trying to hold out a couple more days to test...

Welcome Wednesday! Sorry about your ectopic - how are you doing? Feel free to post OPK pics if you want a second amateur opinion!

Ive tested already šŸ˜¶got a faint positive on a Lloyds test which are horrendous for evaps apparently, and a BFN on FRER. More FRERs arriving tomorrow so I will shamelessly cross my legs and test again with FMU if they arrive early-ish.

however after this cycle I am DEFINITELY only testing if my period is late and I plan to be serene until then (yeah right!).

Me! Am 37 and TTC number two. I had an ectopic pregnancy last night so TTC again feels like Iā€™m going backwards šŸ˜but here I am! Iā€™m CD 16 and my OPKs make no sense to me so I donā€™t know if Iā€™ve ovulated yet or not.

Good luck for your journey! When do you plan to test? Are you an early tester or a patient one šŸ˜†

That should say ectopic pregnancy last MONTH not last night!

Phew a response! Annoying about AF - good luck for next cycle!

Hi @Organictangerine! Not exactly in the same situation as you but similar... I'm 30, trying to number 2! Really thought this cycle was the one but unfortunately AF showed today. So will be preparing to start again next cycle!

Fingers crossed for you šŸ¤žšŸ½
