Well here we are again, day 1 of new cycle. It’s been over a year now (I’d ducked out of these threads for ages). Finally going to start with some private investigations. But not for a few weeks.

Anyone got any fun ideas for this month?

AF has arrived, three days late but hey ho good to be able to get started again! In a way it's good as we're going on holiday in the summer and I wouldn't like to be camping a month before giving birth!

Thank you! I'll keep my fingers crossed xx

Has anyone used OPKs to predict pregnancy?
This top one is my peak.
The middle one is day 3/4 post ovulation
The bottom one is today.. Dare I possibly get my hopes up?!
Has anyone heard of this happen?

My sister used an OPK to detect pregnancy as she didn't have any tests at the time and it came back positive and then a positive pregnancy test 🀞 good luck!

@Natty83 and @BambiBooBoo im using the free Flo app. I use it more to log periods, symptoms/how I'm feeling and sex. But all the bits that were useful when we were ttc ds, have all become part of the paid for aspect πŸ€¦β€β™€οΈ

Thank you @ExcitedandNervousC1 I have taken your advice and given myself a lazy weekend, AF seems to be starting this morning and already the cramps are more painful than normal. That along with the mental struggles of first period after a MC I think some self care is going to be in order. Suppose I should just be pleased the worst of it might be over the weekend and not when i'm at work. Guess I'm CD1 then, here we go again :(

@Countrybean looks more likely that your body is trying to ovulate again? Way to early for opk to be picking up hcg if that's what you're thinking. Do you temp to confirm O?

I should add I have quite short luteal phases so not sure if that affects anything.. fingers crossed 🀞🏼

Hey, yes I do track my temp too- and it was all in line with the first peak test..will just have to wait and see!

Aaaand my mood swings are back with a vengeance 😀😫 Assuming I'm out now. Bodies are trolls when ttc I swear!

BFN this morning again 😩
Had some weird symptoms last night. Sorry if tmi

Was VERY oversensitive during sex last night and had to get partner to stop. Never happens before
Swear my 🐱 looks a bit darker too
And then had cramping pain after sex

My BFN really got to me this morning. I really thought it would be a positive

BambiBooBoo · 27/01/2023 09:31

@Natty83 I use OVIA because it's free. It changes fertile time depending on your CM too. No harm in trying it

ThomasinaLivesHere · 27/01/2023 09:06

@Janeykat sperm can last for days so totally possible

Janeykat · 27/01/2023 09:04

Hi ladies, ttc no 2, first time using opks...got a flashy smiley face on the clearblue tests Wednesday evening, dtd that night, then solid smiley face appeared yesterday (thursday)...how likely is it for conception to occur from this? Partner is away now so wont get a chance to try again this cycle 😞

Oh one more weird symptom, I sneezed last night and had a sharp pain where I think I can feel implantation πŸ€·πŸΌβ€β™€οΈ

inknow I know I’m losing it haha sent me down a googling rabbit hole πŸ™ˆ

I had this sharp pain on 6dpo- and it was take your breath away sharp. I then had lots of AF cramps last night, lower back pain, heaviness and felt rotten tbh like AF was coming. Feel fine this morning except for a stuffy nose πŸ˜΅β€πŸ’«πŸ€·πŸΌβ€β™€οΈ

@Superstorefan123 so sorry to hear that, really hope the clomid helps next month! X

@Maxime34 bfn sucks i really hope AF hurries up so you can’t get on the the next cycle and get a bfp πŸ₯°

@MilkyAndFluffy thanks ❀️ I’m so wanting to test today but only 8dpo so def a waste of a test hah! Hurry up sundayyyyy. I’m a bit of a FRER convert too I’ve def got results on them much earlier than other brands 😊

@TunnocksTCake your symptoms sound great! I know what you mean about symptoms coming and going though as I’ve had the same one min I’m convinced I’m pg then totally sure I’m not 😱

new symptoms are I’m exhausted but can’t sleep, starving all the time and now seem to have a runny nose /cold so could just be Ill hah

Natty83 · 27/01/2023 08:19

@Superstorefan123 I'm so sorry. Sending Baby Dust your way for a super sticky November Rainbow 🌈 πŸ’•

Natty83 · 27/01/2023 08:18

@Chanteuse that line is a definite positive! Congratulations πŸ’

Natty83 · 27/01/2023 08:15

@Hummusanddipdip @BambiBooBoo I'm using Clue (the free version) but very open to recommendations if your apps are good, mine is mostly just a place to note my dates - the predictions update when I put in a +ve O test but without that they get it very wrong but because I have quite a short cycle (24 days usually) I don't know if any app will be quite right for me?
Like it's currently telling me today is a fertile day - but also telling me O day is next Friday, well I don't think that's quite right! At least not with DH being 40, they won't live 7 days 🀭

Superstorefan123 · 27/01/2023 08:01

Thanks everyone - I start Clomid next month so crossing my fingers 🀞🏼

Chanteuse · 27/01/2023 07:24

Hey guys! We couldn’t find a frer and I had a similar line this morning - not sure πŸ˜” going to find a frer today after work

TunnocksTCake · 27/01/2023 07:18

@Superstorefan123 oh so sorry to hear that, chemicals are so cruel 😒 hope you're ok.

@Maxime34 sorry about your bfn too, I hope at hurried up at least so your waiting is over soon.

@MilkyAndFluffy I have been having all sorts since about 9dpo, loads of cramping on 10dpo in one spot, boobs are achey / tingly, and a complete lack of my usual awful mood swings πŸ˜… I was feeling really sick yesterday too but that seems to have gone so now I'm losing my conviction! I do remember from my first the symptoms come and go which is a bit of a head f*ck.
When are you going to test? Honestly I've read that whole thread I posted yest and there were so many with bfn at 10/11/12 dpi who gave up and tested way later and got a pos.
