Hi all

Currently TTC #1 and on my first cycle.

Have been tracking using OPKs and mobile-apps, and by estimation should have ovulated today / yesterday!

I loved following these threads as we prepared to start trying, if anyone would like to join. Smile

Hello girls, hope everyone is well this month!

Bit of a weird one for me - CD15 today and still no sign of a high or peak reading on the OPKs. Hoping I'm just having a weird cycle and ovulating late, and that I'm not entirely out yet!

How is everyone else getting on?

CD4 for me here, so the start of the week was a bit rough with cramping but seem to be over the worst of it now thankfully. I haven't had normal actual periods (without being on contraception) in such a long time I forgot how painful it is!
I'll be back to tracking ovulation probably at the end of the week -hope everyone is keeping well!

That me officially out af finally arrived tonight a week later than expected. Time to restart the process 🥰

@yellowmoon487 sorry to hear that but yes definitely cycle twins. My literal phase was 10/11 days this time too. Very strange, possibly due to my chemical last month or maybe the hot weather is messing with us!

AF arrived for me this morning too, so I'm also out for July - we are definitely cycle twins @Jod30 😂

My first cycle this month was only about 24 days- this seems pretty short considering I didn't ovulate until CD13 so my luteal phase was only about 10 days...does anyone have any experience of shorter cycles like this?
My app says I am due to ovulate CD11 this month which sounds more normal for a shorter cycle.

@yellowmoon487 I didn’t get a chance to test again as I woke in the night with normal red AF flow. That’s me out for this month then. How did you manage to strain your hips like that haha! I hope you have better luck then me these next few days x

So today's test is faint im CD32/ AF 2-3 days late..think I may have a bfp but will be going for tests to double check.

I bought tests in bulk of ebay and the reviews aren't great, some don't show positive or some show positive when it isn't so I will be taking a trip to asda today 😅

I've posted the photo but camera quality is terrible 🙈

I can definitely see something there! And usually my line eyes are terrible lol.

Let us know how you get on.x

11DPO for me today, and another BFN @JJod30! To be honest between the wedding stress and lack of symptoms it wasn't a surprise.

I did have a bit of darker discharge this morning similar to before AF appearing which seems a bit early. I've also strained muscles in both hips (on two separate mornings rolling over in bed, you'd swear I was 68 instead of 28 🙄), so not sure if I am confusing muscle pain with cramps. 😅

Are you going to test again today or tomorrow, or just wait and see what happens?

Happy Saturday everyone! Any more symptoms from anyone? I did a frer yesterday morning at 10dpo which was BFN. I’ve just noticed a bit of spotting when I wipe at 11dpo. Not noticed this before AF before so I’m not sure If I’m having a short LP

NatalieSF · 15/07/2022 21:10

@ginandgiggles im doing alright still Bfn and no AF now 1 day late but as this our first ttc after the mirena i have no idea what is normal for my cycle.

@Whydotheyallhaverubbishwheels congratulations 🎉

@Jod30 I did, I tested at 11dpo and got a bfn! Just goes to show.

Ooh it's working now

@Whydotheyallhaverubbishwheels congratulations and I hope for you that it sticks! Out of interest did you test before 13 dpo?

Whydotheyallhaverubbishwheels · 14/07/2022 14:28

@ginandgiggles thank you. Totally shocked tbh. First month trying and wasn't expecting it. Trying not to get too carried away as I've had an early mc in the past but also eeeek.

Sending you all the super fertile vibes 🥰

ginandgiggles · 14/07/2022 14:25

@Whydotheyallhaverubbishwheels congratulations! Excellent news and hope all goes well. Send your luck our way pls!

Whydotheyallhaverubbishwheels · 14/07/2022 13:58

I can't upload a photo but I've just got a bfp, 13 dpo and midday wee!

ginandgiggles · 14/07/2022 13:36

@NatalieSF not out until you're out! How are you doing? has AF arrived?

I'm now 11dpo and still spotting which is v out of ordinary. I thought implantation bleeding was supposed to be a few days? last night it went slightly redder and not quite clots just a freckling of "bits" (sorry TMI!) but then today nothing apart from a v wateay / creamy spot on one wipe.

I started spotting on 6dpo and around 9dpo started feeling faint and nauseous (not uncommon for me, though am anemic). I took a test this morning fully expecting a BFN due to last nights red and bits saga, and yes it was a BFN. However really out of the blue I have suddenly over lunch absolutely hated the lunch I am eating, which I eat often and is one of my favourite lunches. Am sure I am not doing the classic silly symptom spotting, why do we do this to ourselves? AF due sat I am going to wait until Monday to test again. Honestly, TTC is the most expensive let down!

Hope everyone is doing well? How are we all feeling? x

Jod30 · 14/07/2022 09:15

@Maxime34 yes same, after tomorrow morning I will try not to test and wait for AF to show (or preferably not show) 😄

Maxime34 · 14/07/2022 09:12

@Jod30 bfn for me too but it's still so early for both of us so trying to not lose hope. I might wait a few days now or I'll run out of tests when I need one!

Jod30 · 14/07/2022 08:36

@Maxime34 I know the feeling! Gets to the point when you just want to know either way. Silly me has done a cheapie this morning at 9dpo and it’s stark white. Not feeing hopeful for the FRER in the morning and still have no symptoms. No signs of PMS symptoms yet either. Last month with my chemical I had really sore boobs from 10dpo

Maxime34 · 13/07/2022 12:53

@Jod30 I don't really remember exactly as I wasn't a test addict at that point (we were very lucky with our first) but I do remember thinking it was one or two days before AF was due as I wasn't expecting a positive at all and only took it because we were going on holiday the next day. So if I am this cycle then a test this weekend should tell me for definite either way. Just got to hang on and wait. I think I could use a drink tbh!

Jod30 · 13/07/2022 12:48

@Maxime34 how many dpo did you get a positive with your first? Still plenty of time to get that BFP, when will you test again?
@yellowmoon487 don’t regret those gins, they definitely won’t have had a negative impact on anything as far too early. Hopefully you’re implanting right about now. I’ve heard fertility surges as soon as you come off contraception so it will be interesting to see if that’s the case for you! I wish I tried straight away

7DPO here and not feeling anything out of the ordinary here either.

Had two glasses of gin last night which I'm mildly regretting, though I'm in NI which has a bank holiday at the moment so was hard to resist. 🙄

AF is due this day next week so trying to hold off until then - I'm not expecting much with this being my first cycle after the implant, so likely things are still up the left a bit.
