Hi,

Currently trying for DC 2, already have a 2 year old DS.

I should have ovulated today 🤞🏻🤞🏻

Anyone else entering the TWW? Due AF 7th Jan but will probably end up testing a couple days before 😄

Hi all! haven't posted in quite some time but really really looking for some reassurance....I am day 8 dpo and I am having cramps on my right side for a few days .....I have not a VERY faint line on a pregnancy test and the ovulation test( I know this isn't a guaranteed method) but it's a stark red....now I know its not ovulation as I did have a positive ovulation test 9 days ago but automatically I'm worried about cramping on one side because iv read about optopic pregnancies SURELY I wouldn't be able to tell that soon? any advice/ reassurance please ....I Will wait to Tuesday to I have a missed period and I'm actually with the fertility clinic next Friday ( great timing right!) but I don't think I will be able to stop worrying with this cramping on one side :(

Lovely news @cdn298 - hope you’re doing okay.

Pitstop1986 · 30/04/2023 20:21

Aww so a lovely surprise for you! Have an amazing holiday! Relax and pamper yourself!

cdn298 · 30/04/2023 20:16

@Pitstop1986 well I've not had a period since Jan (suspected pcos, still waiting on gynae app) been testing monthly. The past week ive been sooo tired but put it down to being ill last week. Then this afternoon noticed my boobs were hurting and a weird taste in my mouth so took a test as we go on holiday tomorrow. Other then that I'm absolutely fine x

Lol I did tell you to report back in the next 10-14 days previously, and you sure took that order and delivered! 😄

Pitstop1986 · 30/04/2023 20:12

Hugest congratulations!!!! How exciting!

How are you feeling?

cdn298 · 30/04/2023 17:33

Not sure why that last message posted under my old username 🙈

CLowers · 08/04/2023 13:04

All okay over here. 12/13 weeks atm but have had the worst sickness and been hospitalised a few times already and it doesn’t seem to be showing any signs of easing yet. Had a little scare when I was in hospital and was given a scan and everything was fine. No reason for the bleed just potentially the stress my body had been through with sickness and drips and medication etc. I have my official dating scan next week so fingers crossed 🤞🏼

Mrsrobinsonx · 08/04/2023 09:59

@Downtherabbithole83 i hope it happens soon for you! I am 8 weeks today (roughly) had a scan last week and all looked good but I did have a bleed near baby so have to keep an eye on that. I’m feeling ok, sickness definitely around but I can cope with it all atm. I’m struggling the most with anxiety! After my 2 losses I’ve never had a pregnancy where I’m paranoid literally every day, think it’s annoying my husband slightly 😆 x

Downtherabbithole83 · 07/04/2023 20:12

Hope you get a positive opk soon @cdn298 and then a BFP!

I’m 13dpo, period due tomorrow and definitely haven’t caught this month so I’m still in it with you at the moment. @Pitstop1986 is right, this thread does seem to have a really good rate of pregnancy - not sure who else is with us and still trying? Would be good to know so we can continue to support each other.

And to all those who have got their BFPs already, I hope you’re all doing well and that things are moving along nicely for all of you!

Pitstop1986 · 07/04/2023 15:18

I think that the members of this thread have all been really lucky in falling pregnant, so I think that it's definitely your turn next @cdn298 !!! Make sure you report back in the next 10-14 days with a picture of your bfp!!

cdn298 · 07/04/2023 09:52

Hoping it means I will get a positive soon 🤞🏻🤞🏻

Happy baby making! @cdn298 fingers crossed that this is your month!

RegardingPersephone · 06/04/2023 22:50

@cdn298 mine are normally SUPER faint too and then I get a pretty steep rise over a day/two. Yours looks like it is rising but everyone is different. Test about 10am and then later on in the afternoon/evening so you don't miss it! Normally after mine looks like that it develops into a peak then goes back down to nothing after a couple of days.

cdn298 · 06/04/2023 22:45

Opk.. could this mean I’m close to ovulating? Never had one this dark before, they’re usually reallyyy faint x

Good morning ladies!

Just to update you all - I finally got my bfp!!! I'm 13dpo today! So excited!

Pitstop1986 · 21/03/2023 12:12

@SimplyChic sorry to hear that you've got all of this going on. TTC is hard enough without extra hurdles and obstacles to overcome. Keep doing ovulation tests and look out for signs of ovulation, plus make sure that your diet is as healthy as it can be, drink plenty of water, etc. There's a few tablets that you can take to help fertility if pcos is diagnosed. Sending love and lots of baby dust

SimplyChic · 20/03/2023 21:09

Hi everyone, haven't posted for a while.

I have finally had tests done at the doctors and they said potentially PCOS, as my testosterone was slightly high, but in the same breath said that it could be a fluke as hormones fluctuate and that my body may still be trying to get normal cycles following the pill, and that the testosterone shouldn't effect my fertility and if the same results occur, while also needing other problems like weight gain, cysts etc along to confirm diagnosis if still the same.

I can get an ultrasound done to look at cysts, however, they have never found anything in previous ultrasounds (latest last year for urine infections, they still looked at ovaries etc), so I'm not really any closer to understanding, that spotting did turn into AF in the end, now waiting for the next one but now on day 32 so we will see.

They said I could also have Stage 2 Kidney Disease as the function appeared low for my age group, GP also said it could be potentially due to dehydration and need to test my urine for proteins.

She has said to get the abnormal test results done again in 3 months time, and in the meantime will test my urine for the kidney issues, and also said I may just need to "try harder" to get pregnant, whatever that means due to sparse ovulation.

Did another test a few days back and was negative but have had weird cramps and today a random speck of blood and nothing further, so all just another waiting game 😔

Pitstop1986 · 17/03/2023 20:35

I have had ewcm again today, not quite sure what's going on! It changed from ew to sticky yesterday, then back to ew today and lots of it! My cycles are really trying to drive me insane recently. They're long and very unpredictable!

At least we dtd last night, so if I'm ovulating now, I'm covered. It could of course just be a bit of random mucus... I've heard of women getting ewcm after they ovulate. Bodies are strange!

Pitstop1986 · 16/03/2023 11:14

Looks like driving myself mad by symptom spotting is set to ignite again over the next two weeks then! @30mummy haha
