@ChickenT2b yeah it was a first response. I normally have a whisper if not a line by then, so going to save myself the heartache and not test unless Af doesn’t come now. Well done for not testing, it’s so hard isn’t it 😂. I was impressed I got to 9dpo. I think next month I’m going to really try to just wait till af. Knowing a few days earlier will just give me more time to worry anyway and saves the heartbreak of seeing that negative test. Fingers crossed for you and sending you strength to not test early 💪🏼.

ChickenT2b · 14/11/2022 22:59

Cycle buddies, when are you all testing? 7dpo over here and going strong 💪🏼

ChickenT2b · 14/11/2022 22:59

@Bubblesandballoons FRER? I am 7dpo today and think this is the first cycle in a long time that I haven’t wasted a test so early. Don’t feel like I’m going to waste one tomorrow either… but don’t hold me to it 🙈I only have cheapies so telling myself the early BFN will only bring negative vibes! 💪🏼
There’s still time for you this cycle 🤞🏼🌈

Rabbitjungle1 · 14/11/2022 22:47

@Mumbrava So sorry for your loss. I don't know the answer definitively, but my understanding is that it's possible to ovulate twice in one cycle so maybe that's it?!

Rabbitjungle1 · 14/11/2022 22:45

@FfayeN that's really interesting - I hadn't ever considered both ovaries could be on the left 🤯 It's easy to forget how small/close everything is in there!

@mummatara fingers crossed ovulation is nigh for you 🤞

Mumbrava · 14/11/2022 21:31

hello everyone! I had a miscarriage about 3 months ago which was devastating as I was 14 weeks. We are now on our third month of trying again but this month has been slightly different compared to the previous ones.

Normally I ovulate on day 14. This month I ovulated on day 11 (clear blue showed static smiley and I had ovulation cramps but little mucus). We ttc’ed quite abit before, on the day and a day after.

I thought I’d test again once static smiley went and it showed blank face.

but on the day of my ‘supposed’ ovulation which was Wednesday (day 14) I saw quite a bit of mucus and tested with clear blue again. And it was high fertility flashing smiley! I’ve been testing twice a day since then and I’ve been seeing flashing smileys all the time. I’m Im so confused!! Does this mean the previous ovulation did not count and that I will ovulate soon? I am now on day 19!

ChloeN · 14/11/2022 21:29

@mummatara try and hold off for as long as poss, think it helps that I don’t know when I ovulated so don’t want to get upset over a bfn if I’m only 4dpo🤣🤣 I’ve got a drs appt on the 24th so if I don’t come on before will test then for defo xx

mummatara · 14/11/2022 21:25

@ChloeN 🤞🏼🤞🏼 oooh I hope so lovely. How you feeling about testing think you'll hold off or go early?

ChloeN · 14/11/2022 21:20

@mummatara Cd19, keep getting odd cramps but seems a bit early for that! I’m just praying I actually ovulated🤞🏻 xxx

mummatara · 14/11/2022 21:04

@ChloeN thanks lovely 💕 where are you in cycle now? Xx

ChloeN · 14/11/2022 21:01

@mummatara yes crossing my fingers for you🤞🏻

mummatara · 14/11/2022 20:50

Well lovelies I actually think my body is trying to ovulate you know. Did an opk tonight and looks strong still. My pt is an absolute squinter now so I don't think there's enough hcg to set the test off that strong. I remember doing an opk when I got a positive hcg last time when the line was faint and it didn't show as positive at all. So a positive test with pains I think it's really trying to 🤞🏼 come on body you can do it. I'll see if I get a temp increase in the next few days.

@FfayeN Positive thoughts ❤️

FfayeN · 14/11/2022 16:47

@RainbowSearching I can totally sympathise with you, it's so worrying. As others have said all we can do is take each day at a time abs just hope we get the answers we want when we do go for our scans. It's just so hard to have a positive head about it. The days where I'm able to forget are the easiest! But they're fewer between now I only have 6 days to wait. xxx

@FfayeN its all consuming when you know what might be going on in there, right?

My scan is for 6w3d, and my miscarriage and 2 MMC happened around then. I’m not even sure how much hope I’ll get if everything is ok in the scan as it’ll still feel like a ticking timebomb

FfayeN · 14/11/2022 16:15

@Rabbitjungle1 I don't know if this makes a difference but when I went for a scan when she checked my left and right ovaries, they both felt to the left, she said they were almost one behind the other. I have only ever felt ovulation pain on the left, so it could just depend on how it's all set up in your body ☺️.

@RainbowSearching I'm 8w2d now. This is about the time my MC happened and my MMC stopped growing so bit of an unsettling time xxx

RainbowSearching · 14/11/2022 14:42

Thank you @FfayeN - how far along are you now?

Rabbitjungle1 · 14/11/2022 14:25

@ChloeN I was wondering the same about ovulation pain - I've never had any, but recently ovulated for the first month time since my miscarriage (D&C) it was really noticeable. I also noticed it specifically on the left side, and my EPU scan showed that I'd ovulated from my left ovary when I fell pregnant... Is it normal to ovulate from the same ovary twice in a row? 🤔

FfayeN · 14/11/2022 14:11

@mummatara that's looking great now! Pleased it's going down for you.
@RainbowSearching I know how you feel hun, try and keep positive (I say as I had my own meltdown this morning). I've only got very mild symptoms too. Good luck for your scan xxx

BFN today at 9dpo, so just going to wait for my period now. Hopefully I may get an appt soon to get the results of the blood tests 🤞🏻. Hope to see some bfps in the next week. It’s got to be a lucky month for some 😊
On the note of ovulation pain I only got it after I had my ds, never had anything before.

ChloeN · 14/11/2022 12:01

@emhope ah glad I’m not alone!! I wonder why it takes a mc for it to start happening?

emhope · 14/11/2022 11:40

@ChloeN I’ve definitely only noticed ovulation pains/uncomfortable feeling since my MMC. Have to say I have never noticed it in all the years before this although majority of those I have been on the pill. So strange.

Anyone else only get EWCM a couple of days before peak? I’m on CD11 and noticeably had it on CD9 but not since and got my static face and peak OPK today so looks like ovulation tomorrow on CD12. This is also the earliest I’ve ever had it as usually CD13 or CD14. Hope that’s not a bad sign for this cycle? 🤔

RainbowSearching · 14/11/2022 11:31

Good morning everyone. I hope you’re all doing well?

I am currently 5 weeks +3 and the anxiety is becoming unbearable. Everything seems to be a trigger right now and I can’t escape it. I have such mild symptoms, only sore boobs, but I know that isn’t necessarily a negative thing as I was the same with my DS. But every ache in my stomach, every drop in resting heart rate (I’ve just taken my Fitbit off this morning) and my mind goes in to overdrive. I have an early NHS scan in a week and I don’t know how I’m going to get through it.

TheBirdintheCave · 14/11/2022 10:55

@ChloeN Yep, I've always had it. I didn't know what it was before I started TTC though.

@mummatara Not long to go! That is so faint now :D

Kayycatt · 14/11/2022 10:49

Just want to say this thread is amazing, the support for each other is great.

I asked this question earlier in this thread so I thought I would come back in case anyone is looking for similar info. I had my MC last month and have been anxiously testing since to check whether I will ovulate this month or have to wait longer. I just had my peak on my CB OPK, this is CD23 (counting from the first day of my MC). For reference, I was 5w6 when I had my MC.

Good luck to all xx
