Sorry to hear that @Knov20 i had a chemical pregnancy the cycle after my MMC. It’s not nice at all. Sending love.

Im cd20 today. Still no peak on OPK’s. Don’t think it’s going to happen this month. My levels dipped to 0.13. Just taking another and it’s 0.36. But keeps going up and down without a peak

ScotsBaby2 · 21/12/2022 14:46

I was about to give up with the ovulation sticks as I wasn’t getting a peak…

I think I’m behind a lot of people in the thread. I’ll have a long two week wait as Period not due until 5th January. Anyone else in a similar boat?

@Knov20 oh I’m so sorry 😢 I also didn’t know chemical pregnancy was a thing until I started ttc and it happened to me. It’s so disappointing isn’t it 💔 it makes you wonder when you can actually start getting excited! Hope you are ok x

Bluelightbaby · 21/12/2022 11:55

BFN for me today. Absolutely devastated :(:( this was our last month of active TTC as the pressure it’s putting us under is awful. We have still got a fertility appt end of January though

Knov20 · 21/12/2022 10:51

Thanks ladies. I am obviously gutted and trying to get my head around it :(

Roxybabe · 21/12/2022 09:59

@Knov20 oh hun! I’m so sorry!! Take care of yourself!

@Knov20 so sorry to hear this 😔 Look after yourself. Sending big hugs!

Knov20 · 21/12/2022 06:47

Well I'm back....joined a pregnancy chat...then low and behold started bleeding really heavy and now testing negative. I'm guessing a chemical - never even knew this was a thing. I'm absolutely devastated as had plans to tell family at Christmas. So sad :(

Laul89 · 20/12/2022 22:18

@LuckyStar511 thank you for your lovely comment, I hope so 🤞🏼🥰 xx

Londongirl87 · 20/12/2022 22:06

I also have 24-25 days cycles and got a BFN at 9dpo and a BFP at 10dpo so fingers crossed for you!

Teaplease29 · 20/12/2022 21:56

@LuckyStar511 with my 1st I tested the day before AF was due and got a negative, then the next morning, a positive!

Needtobuildabridge · 20/12/2022 20:31

@LuckyStar511 Thank you, I needed that today. I just want to be able to tell my DH before Christmas that we're expecting. It would mean the world to him. 🤞🏻

LuckyStar511 · 20/12/2022 20:17

@Needtobuildabridge with my first, I didn’t get a BFP until AF was 2 days late. And it was a healthy and happy pregnancy. I think there’s still hope 🥰

Needtobuildabridge · 20/12/2022 20:12

No BFP yet, tested everyday since 11dpo. Currently on CD29, but AF should have come today and hasn't-do I dare to still hope? 😬

Bluelightbaby · 20/12/2022 20:05

I’m 9dpo. I posted the other day that for the first month in ages I’ve been symptom spotting, pretty much convincing myself I’m pg. today I took a cheaply test which was BFN. I’ve still got 5 days until AF due (I have 24 day cycles)…..maybe too early ? I’ve been having cramps all week and first day of cramps I spotted.
mice got an early detection clear blue coming tomorrow, but think another BFN.

gutted after a year of ttc we decided that was our last month of active TTC so this was kind of my last chance :(:(

LuckyStar511 · 20/12/2022 18:23

So sorry to hear that @Laul89. It’s so hard, especially when you have a good feeling about a cycle. Like you say, you’ve got lots of lovely celebrations to look forward to and hopefully you get your BFP in the new year! 🤞🏻

lili2308 · 20/12/2022 10:15

Hi everyone - I'm now on CD17 which is supposedly 3DPO (ie ovulation day was CD14 as it was the next day after the static smilie first appeared on clearblue digital test) But I'm feeling a bit paranoid that the clearblue digital tests are misleading. We dtd on CDs 8,9,11,13,14, but not since. It's been stressful few days hence why. Has anyone had experience with clearblue tests and found that they predict too early ? Ie I might have missed my actual ovulation day?

MrsMotts · 20/12/2022 07:31

People - no idea where perilla came from

MrsMotts · 20/12/2022 07:31

Lots of love to everyone who’ve had AF arrive!
I have finally hit a peak today - a little later this month which I’m putting down to last months early miscarriage. I thought I might have an anovulatory cycle as I’ve had a couple over the 3 years we’ve been TTC but peak arrived this morning!

Ill be due to test early Jan so will be “on antibiotics” over the festive period 😂 If anyone needs an excuse, metronidazole makes a lot of perilla VERY sick if they mix with alcohol so it’s advised not to drink on it 😀

GemLou88 · 19/12/2022 22:33

Sending hugs to those who have AF

I’m still testing with OPK’s. still no peak and levels keep going up and down. Still getting ovulation like pain switching from one side to the other. Have no idea what’s going on

Laul89 · 19/12/2022 21:35

@Saturnsmoon @Roxybabe thank you ladies ❤️ I’m feeling a little better now the days done, we are still really early into our journey I just have to be patient, but as you know it’s easier said than done isn’t it!

I have a night out planned with friends on the 23rd, family drinks on Christmas Day, then a party with friends on Boxing Day and again on New Year’s Eve! So the only consolation is I won’t have to lie/dodge social events around this busy time! Onwards & upwards to the next cycle! App predicts I’m due to ovulate on the 4th Jan so I feel that will come round quick with all the festivities! Think we probably need to DTD a little
more too incase the app is out at all.

@Saturnsmoon I may see you on the next thread and we can keep our fingers crossed our BFP arrives soon!
@Roxybabe good luck to you for this cycle! 🤞🏼✨

Roxybabe · 19/12/2022 17:13

@Saturnsmoon ahh sorry hun, how annoying but enjoy your holiday!!
